I'm Not a Backup Womb
Part 42's
"Oh yeah..is this really mbak? But I'm not..."
"Udah hunted! The kids are waiting. Take a photo with this! Scribbles!" Close it. I inhaled and I breathed a long breath, with a heavy heart I set foot into the building to meet and be able to get Vannia's signature.
When my feet entered the building for the first time. Surely all eyes are on me, not least the Doni and Linda who are currently standing right opposite me. I know, I'm coming at the very end when the show's about to start. I put up with my embarrassment, I don't know what my face looks like right now. Arrive late, alone and without a partner. My eyes wandered in search of Lydia's mother. I used my smile to ease the embarrassment and tension. Until suddenly a hand grabbed my hand and I turned to him, Dr. Teddy with a brown blazzer without glasses held me. His gaze straight ahead did not look at me but confidently he walked side by side with me tightly grasping my hand. All eyes are on us especially now that Dr. Teddy looks different and very charming.
"What the hell is this doctor?" My whisper tried to get my hand out of his.
"Udah nurut aja. You want to be laughed at because you don't have a partner?" Ask while occasionally smiling at guests who look at us.
"Huh? Meanin? Symbiosis mutualism?" Reply slowly.
"Hmmm... Whatever. Mending now hold my hand!" His order.
I followed his orders, I held on tight to Dr. Teddy's arm. I don't want to look weak Dimata Mas Doni and mbak Linda especially. And Dr Teddy? I don't know who he really wants to break. Because as far as I know she has a boyfriend.
We smiled at every guest we passed. No exception to Mas Doni who looks unusual, and Linda who looks smiling Sinin to me. Doctor Teddy took me to where Mother Lydia and my friends were standing.
"I'll get you a drink first." Take care of him and leave me with Lydia and the others. I know they must be wondering and confused. But I'm not going to explain it now.
"Deb's? You're the same doctor Teddy...?" Ask me about Lydia.
"What's? No, just think the same as not having a partner. Mama also saw for herself. If Doni mas same mbak Linda already came along with it." I said, I haven't told her about my divorce.
"Hmmm..."
"Hey... mbak says there's Vannia adijaya, where?" My toot.
"Tu, from earlier he also saw you the same doctor Teddy who is very sweet."
POv Teddy
After my conversation with Doctor Firman, I finally decided to go to grandpa's birthday party. Besides I was worried about Debby, I also had to leave Jakarta without disappointing my grandfather. Soon I went to the boutique and I picked up a blazzer suit that was the same color as Debby, so Vannia would believe me and Debby were a couple.
"Luckily, the doctor said it showed Debby's photo to each other, so it's easy to choose her clothes." I muttered after getting the blazzer that I thought was perfect for running my mission.
I rushed to the venue that the doctor had told me about earlier. I look at my watch, time is so tight. I got off the taxi and it just so happened that Debby was walking towards the building with hesitant steps. I quickly grabbed her hand and I took her in with me. He looked surprised and astonished, but I had to look relaxed. With a little trickery, Debby finally complied with my request to be friendly with me and hold my hand.
There, I saw Vannia who was standing with the Atmajaya family so upset to see me and all looked at me with her face offended not least Grandpa, Doctor Firman, Mama and other hospital employees. Maybe if for Papa and Kevin is not a strange thing because in general Debby does look so beautiful today and they do not know who Debby is.
I left Debby with Sister Lidia and the others, when I took a drink for Debby. My mom suddenly met me.
"Yes, Ma..."
"Here you! Mama wants to talk." Mama pulled my hand rough.
Mama took me to the private room and locked the door from the inside.
"Teddy! Wasn't that woman the one that night?" Ask Mama, I nodded my head slowly.
Plakkc... The slap landed on my cheek, I wasn't angry, I knew what Mama meant.
"Even if you decide to leave the Adijaya family, but you are still Mama's son, and you never teach you to be a destroyer of people's households, right?" Mama said to me, so angry she was with me, that she would not look at me and talk with my back.
"No Ma, I believe Teddy, Teddy can't be like that."
"Keep why are you friendly with people's wives, in front of the crowd? Mama doesn't want you stamped as a male destroyer of people's households." Ask your mother more gently.
"You don't have to worry, trust Teddy, Teddy's not like that." I said, it's hard for me to tell the truth. Saying Debby's status while Debby herself is still covering it is just as presumptuous. And telling the truth about the purpose of my intimacy with Debby is like exposing my secret to Vannia.
"Udah Ma, we're out. Not good, it looks like the show has already started."
"Be aware that you're lying!" Threat Mom.
"Yes ma... Mama calm down!"
We're back at the show. Mama's back with Atmajaya's family and I'm back with Debby. So surprising to me, when I saw Debby talking to Vannia.
"Other help!" I muttered and then I went to Debby.
As I set foot toward Debby and Vannia, a handsome man stopped me by standing right in front of me.
"Sorry, I'm going through!" I said, wanting to avoid the handsome man, trying to find a way.
"I want to talk!" Said.
"I? I'm sorry you're wrong, I don't know you." My answer kept avoiding him, It's important to me to take Debby away from Vannia before it all falls apart.
"Dealing with Debby means dealing with me!" He said it made me stop my steps.
"Debby?"
