Trapped by Neighbor Love

Chapter 44 Alex Looks Nervous

That morning Alya was not at home with her children going to Arya's school. Alya with the child was going for recreation and was seen this morning Rani the best friend picked him up.

That day happened to be Alex's husband was at home not going anywhere and Bram the friend came to Alex's house. Bram has not been to his friend's house for a long time. Bram thought he wanted to see Alex's children, but Alex's children weren't home.

"If you want to meet my children instead of just calling first," said Alex to Bram who was seen sighing because he could not meet his children his best friend.

"I was going to surprise Lex" Bram replied, putting a bag of food chips and milk on Alex's children.

"Just wait it may be noon and the show is over" said Alex.

______

They also talked about their business and their work. It turns out that Alex and Bram are currently having more money and Bram plans to buy a motorcycle for him to give to his sister. Bram also insinuated Alex so that he gave a motorcycle also to the wife of Alya, so that the wife if going to school or just to the super market can use her own motorcycle.

"There is no need if that, the school is close by," replied Alex as if he did not want to be arranged by his friend.

______

Suddenly Miss Vienna came and asked where her children Alex was going, because it appeared in a quiet house.

Alex also told Miss Vienna that her children were away with Alya at Arya's school.

Seen from the face of Miss Vienna as if there is something to say. But he felt awkward with Bram. And Alex seems to understand that. Then when Miss Vienna was about to leave the house, Alex swiftly followed from behind and was seen asking Miss Vienna.

"Mom, if there's something important just say no doubt" Alex said.

______

Miss Vienna looks awkward from her body gestures. Then Alex invited Miss Vienna to sit first on the porch of the house. After sitting down then Miss Vienna complained to Alex, that the installment pay for the motorbike that had just run one month was too late to pay for it. And Miss Vienna wanted to borrow it from Alya because she thought Alya had excess money now.

"So how much less ma'am, the money?" ask Alex to Miss Vienna.

"Less 1 million" said Miss Vienna bowed in shame. Coincidentally the installment of the motor is 1.7 million. And Diana only holds 700 grand.

"Yes, already ma'am, I have sustenance I help," said Alex.

______

Alex told Miss Vienna to take the money in her room. And after a few minutes later Alex came back and looked Bram the friend saw when Alex gave money to Miss Vienna, from the window in the house covered in transparent white curtains.

"I became suspicious of Miss Vienna" murmured Bram. He was reminded of what Alya said at that time. That the neighboring Miss Vienna from Alya had borrowed money to Alex and until the day Bu Vienna had not returned it and not that also even Alex always gave the money to Bu Vienna.

"But Alya spoke to me yesterday as well that Alex has changed and he is not concerned with Miss Vienna anymore" Bram thought a long time ago. He also seemed to not want to interfere with the problems faced by Alex and Alya. Bram tried to calm his mind and he tried to think positively that Alex is currently helping Miss Vienna no more than that.

______

Bram seemed to take a deep breath and he also tried to brush off the bad shadow about his best friend.

"Alhamdulillah if you can help a neighbor in need," replied Bram while patting his best friend's shoulder with a faint smile.

"You don't tell Alya, you misunderstand me" Alex told Bram.

_______

Bram was also seen frowning. He thought that not lending the husband money to others, should be open to the wife. But it's different what Alex did to his best friend. He is not open with his wife. Bram also thinks there is always a quarrel between Alya and Alex.

"It's not better to be open with your wife and it will be better" Bram said trying to convince his best friend.

Alex was silent as if he could not say anything. In his heart thought he actually wanted to try to be honest with Alya the wife but somehow it was so difficult. The fear in Alex was growing. Afraid Alya will be angry and filled with jealousy if he tells the truth. Pity was felt toward Miss Vienna if the neighbor complained about Alex's financial problems as if he did not have the heart to refuse to give.

_______

"I know how you feel about Lex, but I think it's better if you're honest it'll make Alya feel valued as a wife" Bram reassured his best friend.

Alex seemed to take a deep breath, he also seemed to think to be able to tell anything honest to the wife.

"Yes, I'll try. But maybe not with fast time, all need to process" said Alex.

"That's up to you and I just remind you and I don't think you're too nice to Miss Vienna. I mean, if Miss Vienna needs money, don't give it to you all the time" Bram said.

_______

Alex seemed uncomfortable with what his best friend said. He also thought far away that Bram had known in advance that he always gave loan money to Miss Vienna.

"What do you mean!?" Alex looked hard at his friend.

Bram also seemed to be plagued with fear if his friend thought that Alya had always ventured the matter of Miss Vienna.

"I mean gini loh, if later Miss Vienna borrow more money, ask what the need is for. Miss Vienna just borrowed some money from you, "Bram's trying to divert the chatter so Alex doesn't suspect him.

"Yes, he just borrowed the money," Alex spontaneously said with nervousness.

"Thank God, then" replied Bram.

Though in the heart of Bram thought, Alex was covering everything because it appeared from the gesture of his body that looks nervous and his face red.

Seriate...
