(Not) The Substitute

Eps 119 - Wedding of dr. Liam

Arfan told Elnaz about the rental house offered by Nadine, hearing Nadine's name made Elnaz sigh long and smile thinly.

He who is currently tidying his bed turned his head, looking at his husband who is wearing his boxer. Today Arfan's holiday, certainly the most pleasant day of Elnaz's life is when her husband is off.

"El doesn't want to move." said Elnaz.

"But, Honey. This house is still too big for both of us, besides that soon there will be children. You must be tired of going up and down the stairs, cleaning the house alone, the danger is also for our children right." Arfan said so gently...

Elnaz still maintained his smile, he pulled Arfan's hand and brought her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Let's just say, we'll go back to the basement again. Then later we prepare a room for our children below as well" said Elnaz again but Arfan still seems reluctant to accept the advice of Elnaz. As Elnaz refused to raw move rented house for many reasons, one of them is because this house is Arfan house that Arfan bought with his own money after saving long enough. Arfan even told me, when he was in school he also saved and the savings went into this house. And for another reason, Elnaz doesn't want to get any help or advice from a woman named Nadine.

"Darling..." Elnaz seduced her husband gently, he sat sideways on Arfan's lap and automatically Arfan's hand was raised and holding his wife's hip "Sister Arfan is not easy to get this house, right? This is the struggle of Kak Arfan alone, brother. Indeed it is not a pity if you want to be sold just for fear of El falling from the stairs again?" elnaz asked trying to make Arfan understand.

"In addition, we have many memories in this house. El likes this house, brother" said Elnaz again who makes Arfan smile.

He pinched his wife's gaunt cheek that was really stye.

"All right, we're still gonna be here, hm? Until the grandparents" she said with a chuckle, Elnaz chuckled and nodded.

"Sister should ngabarin Nadine if that's the case." she said and Elnaz nodded. She also moved from the lap of her husband after giving a small, light kiss on Arfan's cheek and saying the word love.

"I love you." said Arfan, chuckling and returning a kiss on his wife's cheek.

"Love you more..."

..........

Nadine who is currently in the hospital answering a phone call from Arfan, Nadine was happy because this is the first time Arfan contacted her.

"Maybe he wants to ask about the house" Nadine murmured.

"Hi, Nad. Busy?" arfan's voice came from across the phone, which made Nadine smile.

Nadine did like Arfan since college, but unfortunately at that time Nadine had to move abroad. Nadine is also a problem master with the status of Arfan who already has a wife, considering Arfan can marry the sister of his girlfriend first, then what's wrong if Arfan has other women besides his wife? Imagining it made Nadine smile to herself.

"Not at all, what's up, Ar?" nadine asked "You want to check the house? This afternoon I can, I stay on my friend's phone" Nadine said with excitement.

"I didn't rent that house, Nad. My wife and I agreed to stay in this house. Sorry yeah..."

Nadine would be disappointed to hear what Arfan said, but he certainly can not force too.

"Why? Elnaz won't?" ask Nadine base stale.

"Yes, he insisted on not selling the house"

"All right, it's okay, Ar. But if for example later you want to move house or need something, just say the same to me" said Nadine in the end.

"Okey, thank you, Nad"

"We're friends, Ar. No need to thank you for such a small thing..." Nadine said as she chuckled, and there was an Arfan who also laughed.

..........

A few days after the cancellation of the rental house, Arfan and Elnaz flew back to Surabaya to attend Liam's wedding and all for the 7 monthly event that will be held in his hometown.

Doctor Liam is very handsome with his black tuxedo while Sister Jessy is also very pretty with her white wedding dress.

"Sister Liam is handsome, sister." said Elnaz who watched Liam and Sister Jessy dancing now.

"Book?" tanya Arfan pouted, making Elnaz chuckle.

"Yes" replied Elnaz casually "Geez, if later their son, must look like Kak Liam, his handsome that you know, so want to have" of course, Elnaz only teased Arfan with his word, and it worked.

Arfan immediately stared at Elnaz making Elnaz giggle amused.

"His husband is the most handsome El.." whispered Elnaz then he got out of his chair, Arfan still pouting.

"You wanna dance with me?" Elnaz slightly cuddled up as he reached out to Arfan, making a smile instantly rise on his lips.

"Of course, my Queen." replied Arfan.

Oh, don't forget Nadine who is currently dancing with a man. Of course Liam had to invite Nadine because Liam invited all his friends including friends in his High School period.

"What the hell, honey?" doctor Liam asked as Sister Jessy stared intently at her "People who dance are smiling, not frowning" she said.

"I was very upset with Nad Nad that.." said Sister Jessy who made Doctor Liam chuckle.

"We never had dinner again, after all he now lives in Jakarta right? I don't have her number either..."

"Why did he get invited?"

"I sent an invitation to his house... Uh..." Doctor Liam grimaces as his wife stomps on his feet with her high heels.

"She's not right, she often looks at Arfan like a hungry person staring at delicious food" he said.

"Maybe it's just your feelings." said Doctor Liam.

Meanwhile, Nadine stops her dance scene with her friend as she sees Arfan and Elnaz sitting back in their seats.

Nadine joins their table and of course Elnaz is very dislike of it but he lets it alone.

"Why are you guys just dancing for a second?" ask Nadine.

"Elnaz is a little tired" said Arfan.

"Hem, pregnant people are easily tired, aren't they El?" Elnaz glared and did not respond, but Nadine still smiled well.

"Usually pregnant people are also sensitive and eat her greedy, hehe.." added Nadine when Elnaz again enjoyed her food.

Elnaz was upset but he smiled.

"Not greedy, Doctor Nadine.." exclaimed Elnaz sharply "You Doctor right? And you know, when a woman is pregnant, there's another life growing in her belly and that life needs to eat too. And if it wasn't her mother who fed her, who else? I don't think a voracious word deserves a Doctor who knows better than a non-Doctor " according to Elnaz who made Nadine a little offended but he looked at Arfan and laughed a little.

"No, what did I say too? Pregnant women are sensitive, heart lhoo, Ar.." said his words that make Arfan laugh amusedly. He hugged Elnaz's shoulder and kissed her cheek with anxiety.

"He's very sensitive, and I like that"
