(Not) The Substitute

Eps 43 - Sorry

"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"

Hearing Arfan's heart-touching words made Elnaz's heart flower in fact, that's what a woman's heart is, isn't it? So easily touched by something, but Elnaz still did not know what to respond to what kind of beautiful words her husband.

"You go home." pinta Elnaz then who made Arfan sigh long, because the expression of his love is not reciprocated.

"You're still sick, in the hospital until your wounds improve" Arfan asked, but Elnaz shook his head weakly.

"You go home." again he asked with a whine.

"Alright, after all your husband Doctor.." said Arfan then while chuckling "Silver will take care of the administration first yes, wait a minute" pinta Arfan and Elnaz nodded.

After a while Arfan left, Sister Jessy went into the ward of Elnaz and she showed her friendly smile.

"Hmn is awake apparently you, Sister Elnaz" exclaimed "Where is Arfan?"

"Sister Jessy." cried Elnaz who made Jessy directly look at Elnaz by raising one eyebrow.

"Sister Jessy?" Sister Jessy repeated the word while smiling slanted "Why? Tumben called brother, do you want him?"

"Hehe..." Elnaz scratched the nape of his "Look, Brother. Um... Did Arfan have a scheduled surgery this morning?" elnaz asked his dear question was heard by Arfan who arrived at the hospital room Elnaz.

Arfan could only let out a lethargic sigh, and he looked at Sister Jessy who was currently also staring at him and was roaring mischievously. Then sister Jessy looked at Elnaz and shook her head many times, making the pupils of Elnaz's eyes instantly widen and then she stared intently at Arfan.

"Haha, Elnaz... Elnaz..." exclaimed sister Jessy then while laughing amusedly "Looks like you are the type of wife who is possessive and jealous yes, already feel Arfan is a husband and not a brother, hm?" her tease makes Elnaz pout "Basic ABG labile..."

"Yes that's not it, Sister Jessy.." elak Elnaz.

"It's like that, Sister Jessy... Just so you know, because of his jealousy it was a house so an impingement, I thought maybe at home there were robbers, or earthquakes." continued Arfan who made Elnaz look embarrassed.

"Sorry.." Elnaz chuckled Arfan. He approached and rubbed Elnaz's head with anxiety.

"It's okay." replied Arfan also softly while looking at Elnaz inside. And getting such a look from her husband made Elnaz's face flutter.

"You want to go home?" ask Sister Jessy who is jealous to see this couple who are in a romantic hangover.

"Yes, Elnaz wants to go home" replied Arfan still looking at his wife with a smile.

"Want me to get a wheelchair? It's best that Elnaz doesn't walk until his wounds get better"

"No need.." answered Arfan and he slipped his hands under Elnaz's knees and on his back, he carried her like a newlywed. Elnaz immediately wrapped his hands around her husband's neck and leaned his head against Arfan's chest.

..........

After her photo shoot is over, Elsa returns to her room and Jimmy catches up with her.

"What's wrong?" elsa asked confusedly.

"Are you busy?" jimmy asked as he leaned his back against Elsa's bedroom door.

"No, I just want to rest" replied Elsa.

"Well, if you change your mind, just call me" Jimmy said, then he waved his hand and left Elsa.

Elsa closed the door to her room and she immediately threw herself on the bed.

Elsa picks up her cell phone and she contacts her mother.

"What's up, honey? How's your photo shoot?" ask your mother across the phone.

"Currently, Ma.." answered Elsa lazily.

"Have you met Arfan?"

"Already, but Arfan changed a lot, Ma. She seemed to hate me" said Elsa "Even she wouldn't pick me up at the airport yesterday, but anyway I'm still her cousin and her sister-in-law I am"

"Did Elnaz forbid it?" ask the mother again.

"Maybe, Ma" replied Elsa limply.

"Yes, let Mama talk to her later. Oh yeah, what about Jimmy? Is he good with you?"

"He's good, Ma. She just invited me to dinner, but I was lazy..."

"Well, why lazy? That's a good opportunity, Sa. Let's forget about Arfan too"

"That's it, Ma?"

"Yes, you'd better fulfill that invitation. Don't dwell too much on the past, you should come back as cheerful and happy as before"

"Okey, Ma..."

..........

Arriving at home, Elnaz could only grimace at the state of his house that was like a broken ship. Arfan took Elnaz to his room for his wife to rest.

"Sir Arfan.." - Elnaz.

"Hm, why, honey?"

"House...."

"Let the brother settle" answered Arfan and at once a feeling of guilt immediately surrounded Elnaz's heart.

"Sorry El yes, brother... El should have asked brother's explanation first, instead of even rampaging at home appliances.." he again said softly while bowing his head, he said, what's more now he can't help cleaning the house because his legs can't even he foot on the floor.

"Darling..." Arfan stroked Elnaz's cheek gently "Silver understand your feelings, what else we have just taken a very important step in our marriage. But next time, don't be like this again huh, brother instead of getting angry because you're waiting for home. But big brother is sad because you still don't believe the same big brother, El. It also hurts every time you still doubt our brother and marriage. "the lyrics of Arfan and Elnaz immediately embraced Arfan tightly.

"Sorry.." she's clean.

"El promise, next time El will believe the same brother, will not think strangely strange. Will ask first brother, sorry El yes..."
