(Not) The Substitute

Eps 109 - Surprise For Elnaz

Elnaz was welcomed so warmly by his two families, but unfortunately Elnaz did not see his sister at home.

"Where's Elsa going, Ma?" ask Elnaz.

"Your brother works, El" replied his mother as she pushed a small plate containing chili sauce for Elnaz.

"Where's work? You see, Elsa never wants to answer El's call, Elsa's sister is angry because of...." Elnaz glanced at her husband who is currently also enjoying rice and rawon is still hot "Gara because Kak Arfan entered her prison" said Elnaz Iirih. What Elnaz said immediately invited Arfan's attention, her husband immediately looked up and looked at Elnaz.

"He was wrong, honey. What you did was just to make her a deterrent" replied Arfan.

"But at that time Elsa was not wrong" replied Elnaz ngeyel who made Arfan take a rough breath.

"I was just trying to make him understand what he was going through was because of his selfish attitude" Arfan said and now of course Elnaz can no longer resist, because he himself knew how selfish his older brother was. Always concerned with her own interests, all this time Elnaz can succumb but not when about her husband.

"You better eat full, and then rest. You must be tired" said Bu Yuni "Mama has changed the sheets and cleaned your room" he continued which made Elnaz smile happily.

"Thank you, Ma. Mama's good" said her "Oh yeah, Ma. Can't you if it's El's made up of compotes tonight?" elnaz asked the crybaby that made Bu Yuni gawk, because to be honest, cooking Rawon was quite tired.

"El cravings." said Elnaz still grinning.

"Yes, later Mama madein" replied Bu Yuni later, because if it was about cravings, of course he could not refuse. While Arfan only held a smile to see his Mama's expression that seemed less sincere.

"Thank you, Ma. Now El is sleepy" he said after sipping water from his glass.

"Come, Brother. Sleep.." take her to Arfan.

"Don't help you clean up the kitchen first, El?" asked Ms. Isna who felt uncomfortable with besan and her sister-in-law, because Elnaz now even looks very different from the old Elnaz.

"But El was tired." whining spoiled Elnaz.

"It's okay, El. Let Mama do it, you just rest. Pregnant people really have to rest a lot" said Bu Yuni.

"The truth is okay, Ma?" asked Arfan still holding back his smile, because his taste is like it's not his Mama "

" Yes, it's okay. Take your wife a break" she exclaimed later.

Arfan and Elnaz would certainly take the opportunity well, given how Bu Yuni treated it at the beginning of their marriage.

..........

Doctor Liam and Sister Jessy visit Arfan's house when they find out about their arrival, while Sister Jessy is now starting to live in Surabaya because her wedding is soon, what else they have to take care of all the wedding preparations that have not been completed.

"You fit well, Doctor and Sister" said Bu Yuni who is currently accompanying them in the living room.

Doctor Liam and Sister Jessy smiled in response to Elnaz's mother-in-law's remark.

"Hello, Princess.." said Doctor Liam as usual "Wow, right said Arfan, you are getting beautiful when pregnant like this" praised Doctor Liam sincerely who made Elnaz smile embarrassedly.

"I think Brother Arfan brought El home to attend your wedding, isn't this too soon?" elnaz asked while sitting next to his mother-in-law.

"Didn't you guys have an event tomorrow night.., au, Honey.." strangled Doctor Liam because his future wife arrived to pinch him.

"What's the way tomorrow night?" ask Elnaz.

"his show of Friends" replied Sister Jessy.

Arfan came and joined them, then Arfan asked Elnaz to go back to the room and sleep.

"It's only 7 o'clock, brother. Cook it up El told you to sleep" on Elnaz.

"Tomorrow morning El has to get up early, we have an event" Arfan said.

"What is the way?" ask Elnaz.

"The same flush ceremony of songkeman" answered Arfan calmly that made Elnaz stunned but then laughed, because he considered his husband was joking.

"Seriously, why laugh? Then his brother brought you home"

"Okey" replied the origin Elnaz, then he returned to his room because he was indeed sleepy after eating two and a half bowls of compote made by his mother-in-law.

"Elnaz doesn't know that you're coming home for a wedding reception?" doctor Liam asked Arfan.

"I want to surprise her, Liam. She would be so happy, I never knew her dream marriage was so simple. It just wants to be acknowledged and blessed" said Arfan.

"Having a re-reception is a good choice, Fan. But did it have time? You have to choose the decorations, choose the dress and so on" Sister Jessy said.

"All I have taken care of, Elnaz just to choose our wedding dress and about the decorations, I already know the decorations he wants. The invitation has also been shared with Mama Papa, as well as in-laws" Arfan explained.

"I've also given your wedding reception invitations to our friends, I don't know if they can come or not, because it's very sudden" said Doctor Liam.

"I hope everything comes, I want to make Elnaz happy" Arfan said expectantly.

He is reminded of the diary book Elnaz, in which Elnaz writes of his dream marriage with the man he loves, with a romantic proposal at the beginning and also a pleasant wedding reception, where everyone blesses him and prays for him.

Arfan saw the date and year Elnaz wrote his diary and it was before Arfan married her, Arfan became guilty of Elnaz, and, who had usurped Elnaz's teenage years by force and did not give Elnaz the dream marriage he had longed for.

But Arfan knew, it wasn't too late. Arfan is not too late to fulfill his wife's dream
