(Not) The Substitute

Eps 127 - Fix Before Crack

The sound of knocking on the door made Elnaz get up from the sofa, he walked to open the door with steps that could not be fast as usual, of course because of his weight that rose many kilos and his big belly.

When he opened the door, a courier delivering flowers greeted him with a smile. Not because of what, but because in this day, this has been to 4 times the courier was delivering flowers Arfan order. Do not forget the apology card and words of love that touch the truth.

"Again, Mom. The flowers." said the courier with a smile.

"Thank you" said Elnaz as he received the flower.

"If Mr. Arfan is two more, today our turnover can be quite up, ma'am" joked the courier who made Elnaz chuckle.

"Prepare 10 more bouquets, Mas...." Elnaz also joked about making the courier laugh. Just this time he got a unique partner like this thought of him.

Elnaz went inside and placed a bouquet of flowers next to three other bouquets.

Her phone vibrated, Elnaz immediately checked what message this time her husband sent it, after there were many messages seduction dreadlocks that made Elnaz's stomach churn.

"Darling, you got the flowers, right? Sorry brother yes... Sister loveaaaaaaa at all Elnaz"

Elnaz smiled reading the message, but he still did not reply to her like the message before her. Elnaz throws his cell phone to the couch, then he takes the TV remote and turns it on.

Her mother came and joined Elnaz, her mother inhaling the scent of one of Arfan's bouquets.

"Not sorry, El?" ask her mother lirih.

"Never, still upset" replied Elnaz, his hands outstretched to pick up the biscuits in front of him.

"Kasian, El... Like his Arfan really really sorry" said his mother.

"Let's just, let it not be repeated" said Elnaz who made his mother sigh heavily.

"Arfan is the type of man who is responsible, if he has realized his mistake, Mama is sure he will not repeat it again. After all, Arfan was wrong, but it wasn't a fatal mistake, he wasn't cheating on her Nad was it?"

"If until Brother Arfan cheats, I'll cut his heart" said Elnaz upset that makes his mother grimace.

"Hush, you're pregnant, you can't talk no no, pamali you know" her reprimand that made Elnaz immediately sit up straight and rub his stomach.

"Amit amit, y allah... Take care of El's son" muttered Elnaz.

"Mama know, you are disappointed with Arfan." said Bu Isna again while looking at Elnaz "And it is difficult to fix a disappointed heart" he added. "But it would be better if you try to open your heart to forgive Arfan, accept his apology, accept him who admitted his mistake. Don't be like Mama.." said her that makes Elnaz look directly at her mother.

"First, Mama and your Papa really wanted a boy, but unfortunately all who were born were women, and after giving birth to you, Mama can not get pregnant again, that's what makes Mama and your Papa feel disappointed, and you even get the impact of that disappointment... "

" If you still see Arfan's mistakes but want to see his regrets, you will lose yourself" he continued. Elnaz smiled faintly and nodded in understanding.

...

In the afternoon, Arfan again ordered flowers and this time with a box of chocolates, this is the 7th flower delivery. Just say Arfan is crazy, maybe he is crazy because Elnaz still does not want to forgive him. Arfan would not stop even though he had to send a thousand bouquets of flowers even to seduce his wife was to melt.

Currently Arfan is walking in the hospital hallway with a cell phone in his hand, for the umpteenth time, he sends a message to his wife. Her expressions of love, her regrets and her apologies.

"Reply dong, El Darling... You want what frustrated sister" grumbled Arfan.

"That...." Arfan immediately turned his head when he heard Nadine's voice calling out loudly as usual.

Nadine runs a small run towards Arfan who is currently waiting for her.

"Hi, Ar.." said Nadine with a smile.

"Is there any important work, Nad?" asked Arfan and Nadine shook her head.

"OK..." Arfan continues his steps but Nadine blocks him.

"You why the hell? You avoid continuing this final ending" asked Nadine half sulked..

"Sorry, Nad. It's nothing, but unless there is a very important job, as well as we keep our distance" said Arfan

"Why? Your wife is angry you're close to me?"

"I hurt his feelings if I was close to another woman, while it was my duty to keep his feelings" Arfan stressed again and he was again about to step away but Nadine again blocked him, Nadine even blocked Arfan's hand making Arfan automatically immediately throw Nadine's hand.

"Please appreciate my decision, Nadine" exasperated Arfan.

Already he was stressed because Elnaz was still angry, in addition to Nadine who actually made his mood worse.

"We're just friends, Ar. What the hell are you?" ask her annoyed.

"We're just friends at work, it's been my decision and I've done all this for the sake of my relationship and my wife. You should also keep my distance, before people think that you are not a good woman because you continue to stick to people's husbands" said Arfan who made Nadine stunned. Arfan immediately rushed to leave Nadine in annoyance.

I don't know why women as I managed to find the calmness of men, he thought.

But Arfan realized, his relationship was almost broken if he was a little late to realize this.

"Oh Allah, just emerging the line of cracks has been as difficult as this repair, what if it really cracks?"
