(Not) The Substitute

Eps 42 - I Love You

Elsa awaits Arfan's arrival like a fool, even though she knows Arfan will not come because Arfan is a man who always holds firm to his commitment, yet somehow Elsa remained foolishly expecting the arrival of Arfan. That's probably because Elsa still can't afford to lose a man as perfect as Arfan.

"Hi.." said a little Jimmy that made Elsa flinch "Why daydream?" ask Jimmy while taking a picture of Elsa's face.

"Nothing.." answered Elsa with a smile.

Olga comes and asks Elsa to get ready as the photo shoot is about to start.

Elsa was wearing a swimsuit that formed every curve of her body so clearly, and the photo shoot this time in pairs.

There's a male model named Calvin who will be Elsa's partner now.

When the photo shoot took place, Elsa felt uncomfortable because her photographer who was none other than Jimmy directed Elsa to pose with Calvin. Even Calvin had to put his hands on Elsa's bare thighs while Elsa hugged Calvin who was only wearing swimsuits.

"Rilex, Elsa." exclaimed Jimmy who saw Elsa looked very stiff.

"Sorry, Jim... Can I do a photo shoot alone? Or at least do not need to pose that intimate." said Elsa Lirih.

"Professional, Elsa. It's been your job demands as a model" exclaimed Jimmy and he looked upset.

"Let me do the talking." exclaimed Olga to Jimmy, Jimmy also invited.

"Dear Ones." whispered Olga "It's just a small part of your job, it's normal. Later you will also get used to it and this is also for your success right, now you have to Relax and do not be ashamed. You must be confident and courageous..." Elsa could only sigh deeply at Olga's long lecture. But once again he felt that what Olga said was true, this was his professional form.

At the hospital, Arfan still faithfully waited for his wife to wake up from her fainting spell. Arfan did not even for a second release the grip of his hand on the hand of Elnaz and he continued to look at the face of his wife.

Until Arfan saw Elnaz's eyelids moving as if he wanted to open his eyes, it made Arfan breathe a sigh of relief and he again kissed his wife's hand.

"Honey, let's get up.." pinta Arfan and slowly Elnaz opened his eyes which made Arfan's smile instantly expand.

"Hey, Honey... Finally you wake up too" cried Arfan when Elnaz really opened his eyes. Arfan helped Elnaz sit down when his wife was about to sit down.

Elnaz who saw Arfan at his side immediately remembered Elsa's message, Elnaz thought that Arfan must have met Elsa. Elnaz's tears just seeped back in thought.

"Sir Arfan is evil." - Elnaz and Arfan immediately shook their heads, dismissing the accusation of the wife.

"You misunderstood me, honey. Brother swore, brother did not betray you.." exclaimed Arfan "If you do not believe, you can ask the Doctor, Sister and sister patient here. I left early in the morning because there was a sudden operation, honey"

"Lies.." - Elnaz cried in a stifled voice, "You went to see him..."

"Not at all, Elnaz.." exclaimed Arfan again "Sister didn't even have time to read his message earlier..."

"Lying again, the message has been opened." exclaimed Elnaz angry.

"Honey.." furious Arfan because Elnaz did not also believe his "Sister did open the message but brother did not have time to read it because at that time brother saw you move uncomfortable because... Because your blanket is sagging" answered Arfan honestly but like his Elnaz still does not believe him.

"Silver be honest, dear.." cried Arfan again "When your blanket sagged, brother immediately fix it and after that brother went straight to the hospital. Even my sister's phone is left behind, believe me yes, Elnaz. Please, you know your husband, right?" said Arfan with a hearty and look at the face of Arfan who was heartless to make Elnaz. But the thought of her husband betraying her made Elnaz really angry and sad.

"Let's just say, let's go see the Doctor and Sister who accompanied my sister during the operation. We also meet the patient's family, yes." persuaded Arfan while wiping tears on the cheeks of Elnaz.

"Elnaz, please..." Arfan again pleaded with his face because Elnaz did not respond in the slightest and he just looked at Arfan coldly.

"Honey, trust me brother, brother please, El. Don't shut up like this." Pinta Arfan was desperate.

"My house is in chaos." - Elnaz later and it even made Arfan chuckle.

"So it was you because you thought you were seeing Elsa?" asked Arfan and Elnaz nodded honestly

"So you're very angry?" asked Arfan again and once again Elnaz nodded honestly.

"You jealous?" tanya Arfan and Elnaz were silent for a moment, suddenly his eyes reddened and his nose bloomed.

"It hurts a lot to think of my sister meeting her." - Elnaz cried with a choked voice and he bowed his head as tears flowed down his cheeks.

Arfan immediately cupped Elnaz's cheek with both palms, then Arfan again wiped his wife's tears gently.

"Sir, I swear, honey. Brother did not meet her and will never meet her" said Arfan softly but like his Elnaz did not believe Arfan's promise.

"Well, if you don't believe me, you'll block Elsa's contact. Or if you need to, just change the number?" asked Arfan while staring right at the two beads of Elnaz's eyes, Elnaz still did not respond to him and just looked at Arfan with eyes that are still glassy

"All you change hp, brother hp is broken, like his fall.." seduced Arfan then who made Elnaz snort.

"You're so creepy when you're jealous, honey. Even sister to think like her house was robbed..."

"I told you, the pain was very painful." - Elnaz still with a choked voice.

"Don't understand.." said Arfan as he carried Elnaz into his arms and Elnaz let Arfan hold her "Sister will also be very angry if you're in your position, you know why?" tanya Arfan and Elnaz shook their heads slowly in Arfan's arms.

"Because I love you..."

Elnaz's body stiffened at once upon hearing Arfan's words, he looked up at the same time as Arfan looked down. His second gaze met with a gaze so deep that it seemed to pierce into their hearts.

Arfan stroked Elnaz's cheek gently, kissing his forehead affectionately.

"I love you, El.." shouts Arfan so sincerely "So after the surgery, brother immediately rushed home because he could not wait to see you. And when you don't see you at home, you're so scared, honey. Until the brother felt the heartbeat of the brother stop at that time. "the spirit of Arfan friendly, he brought the left hand of Elnaz to his lips and kissed her.

Elnaz saw a beautiful ring on his ring finger.

"It's..." Elnaz was confused.

"This is my love, Elnaz. I really love you, please believe me..."

"It's not because of what we did last night?" elnaz's question arrived which of course made Arfan's heart gasp.

"What kind of question is that, Elnaz? Whether we do it or not, I still love you. I'm just late to realize..."

"But Elsa's sister?"

"He's the past, honey. I've moved on from her and it's because of you, because of your presence on my side. I'm telling the truth, Elnaz. You've not only replaced Elsa in my life, but also in my heart and in my life. And I'm so grateful for that, honey. I feel so lucky to have you as my wife, I love you. More than brother and sister, I love you. My wife, my soulmate, my everything. And I just realized, you're not a substitute, but my true destiny, which God gave back at the time"
