I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 6

In the marketing room as usual Alex came last of all employees who work in the marketing department and then he glanced right left looking for the figure he was looking for. But the result he got was nil the figure he was looking for was not in place.

“tumben once the child has not arrived is he sick?” alex said to himself with a little strange not as usual risty late coming, usually he always comes along with him.

" good morning "he showed off his smile to everyone in the room.

"hey kou is 30 seconds late from anywhere?"alex asked her a little intimidatingly

Risty "come on I'm only 30 seconds late"

Alex "Well this time I forgive you “ he said but his eyes accidentally saw a slightly bandaged temple and wrinkled his forehead

“ hey what happened to you? why is your temple bandaged?did you fall?or are you a dijln's antics so you're 30 seconds late?" continue again with the question that bertubi

 Risty who heard him roll his eyes lazy, but he felt very happy to hear him so chatty, having a male friend does not mean cheap, right? Because all Risty has right now is Jonathan and Alex who are always with him.

Thank God I still have people worried about my situation

Risty "come on alex I just fell or rather tripped in jinjln when I want to cross I finally hurt;(

 yes, I lied to him because there is no way that I would say this injury because of Exchel to me

What is the power he was forced to lie to his best friend Alex because if he told his truth then what was the meaning of his sacrifice so far? Although it hurts like being stabbed a thousand needles and then broken in the heart and treated like a useless piece of trash by her husband.

Alex "let me see your wounds? is severe?have you checked with a doctor or not? is it still sick? Do you feel dizzy? is your wound still bleeding? is there an infection? Come on rist answer my question instead of staying quiet like a model"

Risty "jeez your question outweighs the chatty woman alexxx hufffff your question is too much and yes just answer it that I'm fine ok don't talk much anymore,now ayoo we do the task that is waiting for us"

Alex “ rist come on I'm worried about you:(how can I let my future girlfriend get hurt like this? I was so hurt watching him” his chat

But Risty did not heed the babble from his best friend and chose to go straight to work because they got a new project and of course this project will not make both men he loved hurt.

it did not feel the clock had shown at 10 pm while risty and alex they both had not come home because their work was very piled up while tomorrow they must have submitted the results of the report so inevitably they must be overtime until their work is all done.

Risty:" hufff finally finished our work" while stretching his hands that felt very sore used to type, record, and sign.

alex:" yahh right finally finished already suffering today only tomorrow morning we give to pa ceo" while clearing the file.

Risty "then I go home first because it's too late "risty tried to step and of course he has cleaned all the goods.but someone's hand asked him not to go further than him.

Alex "no! you should not go home alone_- does your common sense not work at this hour where there is a public vehicle passing in front of the office? Then an online taxi at night is dangerous and moreover you are a beautiful woman where maybe I let you go home alone, I will take you home!" he said it at length and made Risty roll his eyes lazy

Risty "but ak.." tried to refuse until suddenly he cut his sentence

Alex "I told you there's no word of denial"

Risty is "good because you forced ayoo to take me home" she replied, displaying a smile and of course her mainstay. Because thanks to his smile is also sweet he is able to cover his suffering which he is currently suffering.

what's wrong with this girl, why do I have to show her smile?

her smile can make me drunk and will make my feelings for her even bigger.

Alex "ahhhh yes ayoo fast" he replied and walked quickly ahead of him .

when in the car, a very awkward feeling between them there was no chatter even staring there was doubt.

Alex "ehem.rist So how will you still reject my love?" the question was asked to break the silence in the car

god, why doesn't this kid stop chasing my love, isn't he tired of me always rejecting him?did I just tell you that I'm a married woman now?no no no I must not divulge that I am the wife of Exchel william. tpi if not told from now sooner or later she will find out,geez why my heart and brain don't want to sync_-.

risty “ hemm? Are you lex? Ta ta pi you know that I do not like you.I mean in the sense of love, I prefer you as my best friend”.

Alex” now I'm seriously”

Risty "I'm sorry I'm alex, but I'm not a good woman to you and actually I wanted to say this before but there was no right time. maybe now is the best time to tell the truth to you, I'm a married woman" risty starts to be honest even though exchel treats risty not like his wife but inevitably she has to admit it as her husband.Christy is frank with her because she does not want to make him wait for her because she believes there must be the woman out there who likes him with all her heart.

cekitttttt alex braked his car.arrived to arrive upon hearing Risty's explanation .

whahuh? he's married how is that possible? why don't I know that? it was like being slashed by a thousand razors of my chest so tight there was also a deep sense of disappointment. He must be lying

Alex "do you know my struggle to get your attention?you could say I liked you it was like at first sight, when I accidentally bumped into you in the park back then and I knew I felt things were not as usual,I find out about you including where you work in what part, I find out everything, until in the end I chose to apply for a job there, he said,it's ridiculous that I'm not alex george graham a candidate for ceo in z tpi company applying for a job in the company of the family of Alexander whose position is lower than mine, but just to find out more about you I'm willing to do it and now you've married hufff then what have my sacrifices been all this time?"

Alex said all the struggles he had during this time from the beginning of the meeting until he knew that this second the woman he loved and loved turned out to have married.yahh right now his heart felt broken and also short of breath very deep in his heart.

Risty "I'm sorry alex but I didn't mean to lie to you" he replied with his head lowered

Alex "heyy come on don't feel guilty even if I don't get your heart at least I can be your close friend right?"

Risty nodded her head because she was happy it turned out that alex was not the selfish type of man. Love doesn't have to have each other, right? As long as the one we love is happy it is enough to be an adult to respond to the bitterness of love stories. Alex drove back his vehicle until finally arrived in front of Risty's house. She was initially a little familiar with the home address that risty gave her.

Alex “ is this really your current home?”

Risty “ yes,... I just moved here” yesterday

Alex "ahhh well, wait for me to open the car door for you" and Alex opens the door

Risty "thank you very much, I'm sorry to trouble you" he said, looking down

 Alex reflexes rubbed his head and said "no need to hesitate even if you refuse my love but I will still be your good friend, then I go first" his cleaver while kissing a glimpse of risty's forehead

"dahhhhh".

Meanwhile tampa realized in front of the entrance there was already a male figure who stood straight with a gaze of eyes that emitted a very angry rage.

"where have you been? remember going home hehh?ohh already satisfied the road with your lover? Did you forget about your new status now huh" he said by crossing both hands in the chest

Risty:" no Exchel I can explain not as you can see"

Exchel ignored Risty's words he then pulled Risty's hand so strong and rough and brought her into the room upon arrival he slammed Risty's body violently .
