You're Not a Figurant
The Bonus Chapter 2

Khansa ripped her itchy stomach. It felt like he wanted to scratch his entire stomach to deal with the itching.

"Itching again?"

"Yes..."

"Don't scratch. Wait for me to get the ointment first."

"Compress with ice water..."

"Are you sure you don't want ointment?"

"Yes. It's gonna be compressed with ice water..."

"Okay, wait a minute." Alex walks into the kitchen and starts picking up ice packs in the fridge. Then he returned to the living room with an ice pack in his hand.

Alex sat down in front of Khansa and revealed his wife's shirt. A smooth distended stomach was immediately plastered in front of him. Alex kisses that belly with a baby.

"Don't be fussy, Papa's son" he said, putting the ice pack on his wife's stomach and rolling it gently.

"Hahhhh." a sigh of relief rang out between the mouths of Khansa.

"Nake?"

"Yes. The gate is reduced..."

"Why does this pregnancy itch so often? It used to be that Alkha and Alesha weren't like this."

"Pregnancy of each child is different. Move to this side..." Alex obeys his wife. Sometimes he kissed Khansa's stomach while saying words of seduction for his son so as not to fuss.

Khansa stroked Alex's head. A small smile fell on his lips. His eyes are full of love. He grabbed Alex's head and went to kiss the top of his head.

"Mas, remember?"

"Remember what?"

"First sports clock time I once fainted because it came on the moon. You also compress my stomach like this. The difference is that you use warm water..."

"Kok you know?" Alex looked at Khansa in surprise. His eyes seemed to be wondering and curious.

"Hmmph... I actually woke up at that time. But because I was too embarrassed and surprised I still pretended to sleep. Why are you so good with me, Mom? I'm really surprised. There is nothing good about me to see. I'm not pretty, not smart, not rich..."

Cup

Alex immediately silenced Khansa's lips. Stopping the nonsense that is often thrown from the mouth of his wife. Khansa was silent. She pushed Alex slowly and looked behind her husband.

Not far from them, Alesha and Alkha were playing. Fortunately, the two boys did not see their father.

"Don't kiss in front of the kids..."

"Why? Isn't seeing friendly parents also good for child psychology?"

"Yes, but a few times kids have seen us do more things than this..."

"I think it's okay. Our attitude will teach them about love and compassion,"

"But there are limits. Kissing on the lips is over the line. What psychologists suggest is a hug, a kiss on the cheek or a forehead..."

"Cup, cup, cup," Alex bombards Khansa's forehead and cheeks with her kisses, "Like this?" tanyanya without removing her kiss on Khansa's cheek.

"Father, Mama!!" Alesha and Alkha shouted simultaneously and ran towards them. Hugged the bodies of the two tightly and asked for a kiss as well.

Khansa and Alex kiss both. They're kidding. Sometimes Alex tickles Alesha's stomach until the boy giggles endlessly.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I want a kiwi Mas,"

"That's all?"

"Yes, in the meantime. Buy in front. Don't go far..."

"OKAY. Anything else?"

"Nothing. I'll chat if anyone wants to be eaten again. Don't wait a long time..."

"The promise, yes, then I leave first, cup..." Alex kissed Khansa's forehead.

"Come Ma!!"

"Papa just came out for a second. Princess is home. Take care of Mama,"

"No!! Adek wants to come!!" Alesha was twitching at Alex's feet looking at Khansa with a heartfelt look.

"Take it anyway Mas. His son will cry..." Khansa smiled a little without looking at Alex.

Actually he did this there's a purpose. He deliberately told Alesha to follow his papa everywhere to monitor the man out there. Her husband is too handsome. If left out alone afraid there are other women who flirt. If Alesha had always clung to her papa, at least that would have lessened the temptations.

"Yes already," Alex carried Alesha and started to turn around, "I'm going first."

"Wait For Me!"

"Yes?"

"Will you go put that shirt on?"

"Yes, is something wrong?"

"Wrong. Change your colormous pants."

"I just go ahead baby,"

"Yes, but don't wear color pants either. *That*you seem to stand out. The fun will see. Remember Alkha's birth time with Alesha? You're talking nurses and midwives there." Khansa began to nag as she walked towards the room. Alex followed behind him with a funny smile. He felt his wife's jealousy.

"What is it talking about?"

"No idea. The whole thing remember."

"Why? Not willing to be seen by others?"

"Where would you be!! Would you like me to be seen by people too?"

"No!!"

"Same if that. Quickly change your pants. Here's Adek the same Mama first," Alex handed Alesha to Khansa and began to change into trousers.

A few minutes later, the man and his little daughter left the house on a motorcycle. They went to a mini market that was still in the housing environment, while Khansa and Alkha remained at home.

Khansa approached Alkha, who was holding her papa tablet. He sat down next to the boy and kissed the top of his head.

"What's not it anymore?"

"It's Ma. So Papa told Brother to take this..." Alkha handed the tablet in her mother's hands.

Khansa saw what her son was doing. And again he must be confused. How not? At the age of just five years, where children his age have just learned to read and write, but Alkha is actually working on basic physics problems that are at the level of 7th grade (1st grade Junior High).

Khansa took the tablet and started looking at the material. Alex makes simple and pictorial modules on magnetic matter, refraction of light, energy, electricity, expansion of substances, caloric temperature, force, solar system and others.

"Say Papa if you can answer everything, Papa wants to take Brother to Papa's office again..."

"Can't you answer?"

"Can dong Ma. That brother answered all."

Khansa checked her son's work, and sure enough all of Alkha's answers were correct. Khansa hugged Alkha and kissed the top of her head. It was unexpected that his eldest son inherited his father's intelligence.

Sedari kecil bibit-bibit kecerdasan itu sudah mulai terlihat. Alkha lebih cepat dalam menyerap semua hal dibanding anak seusianya. Misalnya saja dalam menyerap kosa kata. Pada umur satu tahun, Alkha sudah bisa mengucapkan beberapa kata dengan sempurna.

Alex is aware of the potential of his son, so the man begins to babysit him from infancy. Alex teaches simple things in everyday life related to the application of physics and mathematics. Alkha was very interested in everything. The climax is when Alex invites Alkha to visit the company's laboratory. The little boy was very enthusiastic and was amazed to see all the advanced equipment that was there. Even Alkha cried when Alex brought her home.

"Whose son is it? How much pinter? Cup, cup, cup..." Khansa peeped at the top of her son's head.

"Mama Papa's son's sister..."

"Oh yeah? Why can you give birth to a child this smart? Here's Mama kiss again, cup, cup, cup..." Alkha laughed as she returned her mother's kisses. Then Alkha summarized Khansa's face with her two small hands.

"Mama... My sisteraaaanggg same Mama, cup..cup.." the statement ended with a kiss on Khansa's nose. Every child did that, Khansa could not control herself, tears were always rolling from her beautiful face.

"Mama is also very dear to Brother. Mama loves Adek and Papa too. Mama loves you all..."
