(Not) The Substitute

Eps 120 - 7 Monthly Elnaz

At Bu Yuni's house is being busy with preparations for the 7th monthly event of Elnaz.

Elnaz himself is still in his room at this time with Arfan, Arfan's face is very happy and serialized even though this is only a 7-monthly event.

As the show begins, Bu Isna and Bu Yuni pick up Elnaz and Arfan to start the show.

There are many guests who come to meet the courtyard of Bu Yuni's house, even Doctor Liam and Sister Jessy who still enjoy the period as a newlywed also come.

And again Doctor Nadine came, making Elnaz upset but he tried to be relaxed as usual.

"Son Arfan invite him?" ask Elnaz.

"Yes, he was in Surabaya right.." replied Arfan gg of course make Elnaz again more upset.

Elnaz wears a white kebaya decorated with a jasmine flower arrangement that covers part of her chest.

While Arfan also wore traditional Javanese clothes and in the eyes of her husband Elnaz it looks very handsome.

Elnaz tried to ignore the existence of Nadine who had been watching Arfan, Elnaz wanted to enjoy this event and also various other rituals with wisdom.

Arfan accompanied Elnaz in each of the demands of the 7 monthly ceremony he passed.

Elnaz remembered the late grandmother, whose role was very important and needed at a time like this. Elnaz felt sad because there was no grandmother beside him, even though his grandmother really hoped to have her great-grandchild from Elnaz.

The tears of Elnaz fell just like that when he remembered his beloved grandmother.

While her mother is busy pampering and taking care of Elsa, Elnaz is spoiled and continues to trouble her grandmother.

When everyone hurt Elnaz because Arfan married her, only her grandmother was at his side, wiping away her tears, defending her, and strengthening her.

When her mother doused Elnaz's body with water, Elnaz wished her grandmother had done it.

The tears of haru and sad Elnaz mixed with the flower water that soaked his face, he was moved because he did not expect he would pass this beautiful event after the wedding reception that Arfan prepared for him.

Her 7-monthly event was very memorable for her, everyone present, smiling happily, congratulating her and praying for her and her baby in her womb.

He gains the affection of his biological parents and the support of his in-laws. And don't forget the husband who loved her so much, really Elnaz did not expect he would be loved and love his former fiancee brother, his cousin who he considered as his own brother.

Elnaz did not expect that he would contain the seed of Arfan.

Elnaz feels so perfect now...

After the show was over, now Elnaz was brought back to the room to change clothes.

There was a little drama there when Arfan said it would help Elnaz change clothes...

"Yes, don't, Fan... You wait outside" her mother said.

"What's the matter, Ma? It's common for Elnaz to change clothes with me." said Arfan insisted to make his mother tickle.

"Maybe Elnaz or you are not ashamed, but we are ashamed to see your behavior." said Bu Yuni again considering Arfan had kissed Elnaz in front of Bu Yuni and her Husband. And at that time, either Elnaz what else Arfan did not look awkward what else, it was Bu Yuni and Pak Adi who felt awkward and embarrassed.

"Hem, the smell of fresh flowers." said Arfan who made Bu Yuni and Bu Isna shake the head, while Elnaz could only smile blushed because of her husband's actions.

Elnaz changed his previous clothes with 7 tiger rags, but only the 7th cloth he wore. While the other 6 fabrics are made the seat.

After the event is finished, Arfan must feed Elnaz with rice tumpeng and of course Arfan will do it with pleasure.

Arfan greeted Elnaz affectionately, and even his two beads were emitting the same thing. He looked at Elnaz with love and it warmed Elnaz's heart.

"Hon..." Whisper Sister Jessy to Doctor Liam who is currently watching her best friend is clingy, seen once from the look of Doctor Liam's eyes he was happy for his best friend.

"Hmmm" her response.

"Later if I'm pregnant, you have to be friendly like Arfan..." Doctor Liam immediately frowned when he heard his wife's words, he turned his head and looked at the wife.

"I wasn't romantic all this time?" ask her.

"Yes romantic, but you never managed me like Arfan.." whined Sister Jessy "Look tuh.." she pointed at Arfan and Elnaz with her chin, looks Arfan who is cleaning the corner of Elnaz's lips and a soft smile printed on Arfan's lips "Elnaz really in spoiled Arfan.." added Sister Jessy who made Doctor Liam chuckle.

"Since Elnaz was born, Arfan has always spoiled her. Arfan's love for Elnaz is something different, it can't be imitated" she said as she wrapped her arms around Sister Jessy's waist.

"Like Arfan who loves Elnaz so much, like that I love you, it's just that our way of loving is different. Growing up under the supervision of Arfan, Arfan has been in love since he was born into this world. In addition, their age is quite far adrift and Arfan has been used to pamper Elnaz as his sister first, well... Until marriage, their relationship will always look unique, because the beginning of the relationship itself is indeed very unique"

"Phenomena even.." added Sister Jessy who made Doctor Liam again chuckle.

Now that the event of feeding rice tumpeng is finished, in Java there will be a procession of breaking ivory coconut, where in the coconut it will be in the picture of a beautiful and handsome puppet character. The purpose of this procession is the expectation of the sex of the baby. And this will certainly be done by the father of the baby.

Arfan looked at Elnaz, the second night had a chance to talk about this and Elnaz claimed not to want this one procession. Because Elnaz expects his baby to be healthy and perfect without thinking whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

Elnaz was afraid that if he expected a baby girl but a boy was born, then he would not love that baby. And vice versa.

But Arfan assured Elnaz, whatever the gender they both will be very affectionate and love him. While this procession is customary, the mother of Elnaz and her mother-in-law will certainly still perform this hereditary custom.

Now that Arfan chose a male-pictured coconut, he had his reasons for it. Arfan confessed to Elnaz, if I could be honest he wanted their first son to be a boy. That way, their children will take care of Mama and her sister later. Because notabane men are leaders and protectors.

After the show broke the coconut, now the procession that Elnaz was waiting for.

Procession makes rujak, Elnaz really like rujak ala 7 monthly. When her neighbors hold a 7-monthly event, Elnaz's grandmother always asks for her because Elnaz really likes her.

Elnaz made his speech with the help of his mother and mother-in-law, the rujak will then be distributed to guests. As Elnaz shared her, Elsa arrived with a smile on her lips.

"Slowly, the show is done." Elnaz sulked at his older brother.

"Hehe, sorry, El. Still work." answered Elsa.

"Feelings continue to work..." Elnaz again sulked, then he gave a bowl containing the spirit to Elsa and Elsa received it with pleasure.

"Thank you, Deck.."

"The same, brother..."
