I'm Not a Substitute Womb

74. I'm Not a Substitute Womb

William ran towards the building where Wilson was performing art. Once inside the building, William searches for where Wildan and Anita are sitting.

Looking back, Wildan and Anita sat next to each other in the second row that the organizers had provided.

"Like a married couple only," William sneered and then his eyes rounded and shook his head in disapproval of what he said earlier.

"This can't be allowed" William said, swinging his legs after Wildan and Anita.

He sat on the left side of Anita who happened to be empty and Wildan sat on the side of the girl.

Wildan and Anita seem shocked at William's sudden presence.

"You said you were attending a meeting?" ask Wildan seemed to dislike the arrival of William.

William who understood that Wildan did not like the arrival of his soon turned his head. There was a grinning smile rising. "It's over and I have to attend my son's art show to make my son happy. Don't you, Anita?" the two mature men looked at Anita making the girl flutter.

"Eh.. Ah, yes it's true what Om William said." said Anita stammered.

It felt like he had not recovered from the shock of William's presence and sitting next to him was even asked like it made him more nervous and nervous.

While Wildan looked at the strange behavior of his sister. Of course he knew that his sister was paying attention to Wilson's nanny who was none other than his own son's best friend.

The three of them were silent and again sat upright looking up at the stage as Wilson recited the poem.

Mother, they said you were a living lamp.

Mother, they say your embrace warms the world.

Mother, they said your guidance saved them from misfortune.

Mom, when do I feel your presence?

Moms, Moms,

I want to hold your body tight.

I want to put your smile on my mind.

I want to see your beautiful face in my dreams.

Moms, Moms,

I want to see your look every time I wake up and fall asleep

I want to hear your laughter, crying, and anger at me.

Want me to shoot your pretty face and as my bedmate every night.

Mother.

I know I'm a lucky kid because God loves you more.

But I miss you so much.

Missing the habit like those who are always escorted and picked up by a mother.

I always miss being slept by my mom.

Where should I go against the rigors of life.

Mom, I'm happy here.

...----------------...

William stared straight at the stage where Wilson had just bowed after reciting a poem.

William's eyes seemed reddened to hold back the tears that had been unstoppable again. He chose to get up and leave the two men and followed Wilson backstage.

"Come here," said William insist on aligning Wilson high and stretch his hands waiting for the welcome hug from his son.

Wilson smiled and hugged William. "I'm okay, Pa. Don't worry" Wilson said.

Hearing that, William tightened his embrace. "Papa knows you're a strong papa's son. Come visit Mama," take William.

Wilson nodded with a smile. The seven-year-old boy held both hands around his neck and rested his head on William's shoulders in his father's arms.

Both William and Wilson very rarely admit longing for the precious woman in their lives. But both are very understanding if in the heart really misses the figure of the woman.

Diana.

The first love of a man named William Aletta. The two married for an arranged marriage and ended up loving each other.

Diana was gone when Wilson was three. The woman had an accident while she was going home.

Heavy and windy rain caused a large tree to fall and hit Diana's car and resulted in loss of life.

William and Wilson, who were waiting for Diana to return home to celebrate the birthday of his wife and mother to two men of different generations, were devastated to hear the news that Diana had a fatal accident.

Since then, William has turned into a man who likes to change women just to entertain when lonely and Wilson became a closed person.

Upon arriving at the funeral, William and Wilson put Diana's favorite bouquet of lilies on top of the vortex.

The two men of different generations smiled. A smile has a million yearning meanings that words cannot match.

No one opens a voice between the two. Just silently staring at the tombstone that reads the name Diana Maheswari.

"I love you so much" said Wilson.

"Don't be sad" said William.

"No. I am not sad," muttered Wilson evasive of the reality.

William nodded and took Wilson home. Before moving on, William stroked the tombstone and then carried Wilson back.

...----------------...

Anita was worried to see William's reaction so invited Wildan to follow him. But his footsteps stopped looking at the sight before him.

Where William and Wilson hugged and left with the boy in the arms of the father.

"Oms. Let's follow them, "take Anita and get approved by Wildan.

There they are. In the car outside the cemetery. The car window opened because Anita was watching father and son in front of someone's belly button.

"What is Mother Diana's tomb, Om?" anita asked as she turned to Wildan.

Anita's forehead shriveled looking at Wildan looking misbehaved as she turned her head just now. "Om why?" ask Anita in wonder.

Wildan. "Why not." How shameful he felt. Earlier, when Anita noticed William and Wilson, she looked at Anita from the side.

To be honest, he took an interest in a simple girl who was none other than his own daughter's best friend.

"It may be William's wife's grave. Because at the time of the incident, Om was still in treatment in Singapore." Wildan and Anita said nodding in understanding.

"Tomorrow Om will visit Calista's house. Do you want to come?" ask Wildan while turning on the car engine.

Anita looked at me. "Can. But I have to take William, "he said.

"What's wrong. Let's just take it with us" Wildan said again.

...----------------...

In the morning, Anita and Wilson are picked up by Wildan. A sweet smile from Anita welcomed the arrival of the father of her best friend.

"Om bring a driver?" ask Anita.

Wildan nodded and opened the door for Wilson and Anita. Afterwards he circled the car and sat next to Wilson, in the passenger seat.

Wilson sits between Wildan and Anita.

Wildan asked Anita a lot of questions about how the day with Calista, college, and family life of the girl.

"I'm the same Calista was friends from Junior High, Om. I'm a kid from the parlor, and my tuition is covered by Om Ed until, now."

"Om just found out" Wildan said, feeling bad.

"Because Om just asked," said Anita made the two chuckle.

...----------------...

In Office.

William breathed a heavy sigh after receiving a call from the housekeeper that Anita went with Wildan to take Wilson.

"Damn brother Wildan. It's my day off to work and he's good to go with Anita and my son" William grumbled.

Throughout the day William worked on projects that had to be completed until the end of the month.

At seven o'clock in the evening Carlos had just finished part of his work. He went out of the workspace to the basement.

Get in the car then drove across the road to one of the famous bars in Jakarta.

At the bar, William ordered an alcoholic drink. But it seems like tonight he doesn't want to have fun with women who hand their sexy bodies to him.

He was just nervous and prejudiced that Wildan had obtained Anita while he had not dared to start chasing.

William was drunk pretty hard tonight. To make one of the bartenders who already knew him drive home.

Trouble bartender was memapah burly body William brought it to the car.

...----------------...

The bartender returned to William's doorstep. The doorbell was pushed until Anita opened the door

Anita looked surprised to see that William was drunk. "Please help me, ma'am."

The bartender nodded and then returned and William entered the room.

After laying William down, Anita drove the bartender to the door and thanked him then in the key back of the door.

Anita breathed a heavy sigh and returned to William's room. He watched William who was drunk.

"You're the reason, Om." The grunt felt dislike when William was drunk like this.

Anita took off William's shoes and socks. Afterwards, Anita pulled William's body to become supine.

Slowly he opened the shirt that William was wearing. "Om" cried Anita when William suddenly pulled her and hugged her tightly.

"Anita," murmured William in his unconsciousness.

"Y-yes, Om."

"I love you."
