Chapter 43: Wrong Person

Meanwhile, as Alexa stopped writing and thought about her next scenario on the book page, on the other hand, Jack suddenly came to his office.

 While he was signing documents, and he was really just focused there, someone suddenly entered his office. 

 I looked at it immediately and saw that it was my mother. "Mom, what are you doing here?" I wondered.

 It sits on the sofa and is sophisticated enough to sit well. Obviously, its clothes are expensive, and she has a bag in her left hand. "I want to relax, son."

 "Here?"

 Suddenly, her facial expression changed from looking like a rude woman to looking like someone in a scene where she will just be the one who throws water on the leading lady. Now it's like a child complaining to Jack. "It's your father!"

 "Why are you arguing this time?"

 "You can see, I'm dressed like I'm wrapped up." I nodded. "He's the only one who chooses what I'm going to wear to a meeting. I should now have a good time, but it's good it cancelled." Her face seemed irritated, really annoyed.

 I raised my two eyebrows and examined my mother's clothes. "Okay. Why did you overreact, Mom? It's like Dad was having another woman."

 She stopped and glared at me. "Just try to get your dad to try another dish. I'll make him ground pork by chance."

 I winced. "Your brutal mother, you let that happen."

 "It just belongs to him."

 "But Mom, if you're here, where's Dad?"

 She leaned on the sofa first. "In his office, I have to stay here in case you don't visit the house, so here I go."

 I smiled because it was true that it had been almost a month since my last visit to my parents' house. I stood up, sat down next to my mom, and hugged her tightly. "That you miss me?"

 She also hugged me back. "Of course you're our only child, and you haven't visited us yet. You know that your dad and I are too old to go back and forth to your house."
 
 "Don't worry, Mom, one of these days I'm going home, and I want to taste your dish again."
 
 She smiled, but I didn't expect her question. "Jack."

 "Yes, Mom?"

 "Aren't you planning to get married?"

 I stopped and slowly let go of my mother's embrace. "Why married inserted into the conversation?"

 She sighed. "It's been a few years, and your age will disappear from the calendar. I hope that before we even gone in the world, your dad and I will see your children."

 I scratched my head so hard. "What's the matter, Mom? I haven't found the woman for me yet."

 "Then I met someone, and she's my friend's daughter."

 "Mom, you know I don't like that, don't you?"

 "You can't refuse because I've already set up a meeting with you. Actually, later at a restaurant. I'll just give you the address." She smiled up to her ears because my mother wanted me to settle down immediately.

 My mother got up, and someone suddenly called her phone. "Hello! Yes, I'm on my way! " She immediately dropped the call. "I need to leave because your father will never be able to live without seeing me. I'll just send a message to the restaurant I'm talking about. I'm leaving. " She just kissed me on the cheek and left. I just sighed as I faced the outside of my office.

 Night came, and Jack was able to park his car at a restaurant. Before he entered, a staff member asked if he had a reservation, and when he said who he was, the staff immediately let him in.

 I looked for the long-haired woman in the red dress based on what my mother had described. Then I found it on a side that no one could see very well.

 I go there and greet her. "Hi! Excuse me. May I know if your name is Melissa? "

 She looked at me, and I could say that she was beautiful and had an angelic face. "Yes, I am," she replied.

 I smiled and sat down in the other chair in front of her. "I'm Jack." I offered my hand, and she grabbed it for a handshake.

 "Nice to meet you."

 Soon the waiters came and put down their food. "Let's eat first," I said.

 They started eating before getting to know each other, and when they finished, Jack was the first to ask. "What are you doing for a living?"

 "I'm a model."

 "Really, that's good." I nodded, but I had nothing else to ask because it was all new to me. I just can’t refuse my mom, so that's why I'm here.
 
 "What do you like in a girl?" she asked immediately, which surprised me because I thought she was shy and wouldn't speak right away if I didn't start asking questions.

 "A simple one; as long as she's true to herself, I'm okay there."

 "Really, but why until now haven't you had a wife? Are you having a hard time finding what you say is simple and true to herself? "

 I was stunned and thought of Alexa. "You're right, she's hard to find." I smiled slightly.

 "Do you want me to be your wife?"

 I frowned at her question, which was too aggressive. "What? We just met and got to know each other, so I can't answer your question."

 "I'm willing to be your wife right now."

 I was no longer comfortable with the woman and her straight-forward speaking. "I'm sorry, lady, but don't rush everything," I said, just not to offend her. 

 Suddenly, her face became serious. "But why are you here now?"

 "Because of my mother, she told me that you come here too, right?"

 "Did you think I was the woman your mother was referring to?"

 My eyebrows almost met at the behavior of the woman in front of me now because it was very different in a second. "What are you saying? You mean you're not really Melissa? But you said earlier that you are Melissa? "

 She folded her arms and looked at me seriously. "I'm sorry, but I'm not her. My face and body are Melissa's, but I'm not her." 

 "What do you mean?"

 "Aren't you still finding the woman you've been looking for so long?"

 Jack's two hands held each other, and he tried to calm his feelings. "What are you?"
 
 "And did you also know that she was the one you saw the other day that you thought she wasn't?" She grinned at me.

 I was confused by what the woman in front of me was saying now—whether she was really Melissa or someone else. "Why do you know those?" in a voice that was nervous and didn't know if I would be afraid of the woman in front of me.

 "I'm a creature that a person like you can't see, but there's something missing that I own, so I have to do it right now because if it doesn't happen, it shouldn't happen in case I find what I'm looking for. "
 
 I swallowed and stared at my front, but I only saw an ordinary woman, and there was nothing strange in her aura that I had in mind. "Why are people so strange, like the man I talked to before?"
 
 "Because it's me too," the woman said suddenly.

  I suddenly looked at the woman. "You mean you're also the man I talked to the other day, like a crazy one?"

  She smiled. "I'm not a lunatic. You're just surprised at what's happening and at a strange creature like me, but don't worry. I'm not an enemy."

 "In that case, you know I'm looking for someone, and you also know that she was the one I saw the other day? If you have the power, tell me where she is now," I boldly asked.
 
 "I can't tell where she is now."

 "Why?"

 "Since it's not yet time for you to see her, I'm just messing up the situation for what should happen in the future."

 My forehead was already furrowed. "But I'll give you something you'll definitely love." She took out a Polaroid picture and placed it on the table, but I couldn't see what it was or the photo, to be specific.

 "Don't be too bored because you'll be meeting soon, and I'm sure of that, but right now I'm sorry by the time your eyes see the woman you're looking for. " She stood up and bowed before finally leaving that restaurant.
 
 Jack was left confused by her last words, but his attention returned to the polaroid on the table. "What is this?" he said as he slowly flipped the picture over, but by the time he saw the picture, his hand suddenly shook because of the familiar face and also the face he saw when he was in a mall. "Alexa."
