(Not) The Substitute

Eps 45 - Not Elnaz's fault

If usually Elnaz is in Arfan's arms, this time Arfan is in the arms of Elnaz. The man who was in love with his own wife looked very spoiled on his wife, he curled up in the arms of his tiny body.

"Your arms are warm, dear" said Arfan and he called out to the face of Elnaz's neck, inhaling the scent of his wife who always makes her long. While the wife who heard her husband's statement just chuckled and clenched her tighter.

"Sister's arms are warm, too..." Elnaz answered innocently which also made Arfan chuckle.

"Don't take your brother out of your arms until tomorrow morning. That's your punishment for breaking the house." asked Arfan again and Elnaz answered him by showering Arfan's head with a kiss, he said, he also stroked Arfan's head gently making Arfan smile and pushing his body more and more into the wife's body.

Slowly Arfan closed his eyes, he did not lie when he said his wife's embrace was so warm. Because it is true there is, not warm warm embrace it is also so comfortable that it can easily lead Arfan to his dream realm.

Elnaz again kissed the top of her husband's head was now sleeping, his facial expression turned more serious.

"I must change and not always be affected by Brother Elsa." muttered Elnaz, Arfan was right, the cruel and angry side of Elnaz like this morning had never been there before "Brother Arfan is my husband, and Brother Elsa must honor our marriage"

Elnaz again stroked Arfan's hair and slowly he also closed his eyes as drowsiness began to greet him. But before going to bed, Elnaz gave a kiss good night on the forehead of the husband with a friendly.

.........

After dinner, Jimmy drives Elsa back to the hotel in his car. And when Elsa is about to come down, Jimmy is about to kiss Elsa's lips but Elsa avoids him.

"I'm sorry... I can't." exclaimed Elsa and Jimmy looking very disappointed but he kept smiling and nodded in understanding.

"I'm sorry, it's too soon." said Jimmy. Elsa just smiles and rushes out of Jimmy's car, Elsa waving her hand at Jimmy before the end she enters her hotel and immediately rushes to her room.

In her room, Elsa throws an upset handbag at the thought of Jimmy almost kissing her lips.

"Basic lewd, Arfan alone never did that." - annoyed Elsa.

He rushed to the bathroom and immediately cleaned himself, after which he immediately put himself in bed.

Elsa takes her cell phone and opens the gallery, looking at her memorable photos and videos with Arfan first.

Without feeling Elsa's tears dripping just like that, she misses Arfan very much. Never did Elsa imagine she would lose Arfan this way and now having Arfan is her own little sister.

Elsa put the phone still showing Arfan's picture on her chest, slowly Elsa closed her eyes even though tears were still faithfully flowing to wet her pillow.

"I miss you, Fan..."

.........

The next morning, Arfan changed the bandages on Elnaz's hands and feet. Not to forget he also treated her and advised Elnaz not to move much and just stay in bed until Arfan came home. While to clean the house, like her Arfan will again call cleaning services and to cook she will do her own later.

"I'm sorry, honey." cried Elnaz for the umpteenth time, so Elnaz, his heart was so soft and so easy to feel guilty. He continued to apologize for having greatly inconvenienced Arfan and even harmed him.

"Later in the evening hug your sister again until the morning, then your sister will forgive you" replied Arfan with a big smile. He put his medicine back in the drawer "If you are bored, watch tv or can also phone grandma. And your book..." Arfan pulled out some books from his bookshelf Elnaz then put them on the table next to the bed "Read it, if anything, just call my sister, honey..."

"Your lips are like morphine, dear.." said Arfan hoarse while rubbing Elnaz's lips wet, making Elnaz's cheeks blush.

"What time do you think it's coming home?" ask Elnaz

"Before 4 o'clock, God willing"

"Okey, big brother of heart yes"

"Surely, you are also heart at home"

.........

After Arfan left, Elnaz was right to lie down in bed while playing mobile phone, then watch tv in continue reading books. But that doesn't reduce his boredom.

Elnaz tried to get off the bed, he could walk but his feet hurt Elnaz straight back to the bed because he did not want to make his wounds worse. Where it will actually even more troublesome Arfan.

Elnaz's phone rang, making Elnaz feel good because she thought her husband was calling her. But when looking at the screen of his phone that has been lit, Mama's name is listed on the screen of his phone. Elnaz was also very happy and he enthusiastically answered his mother's call.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma.." his greeting was carefree.

"Greetings waalaikum, El. You home?" ask the Mama.

"Yes, Ma" replied Elnaz still with a carefree and wide smile on his lips.

"Said Elsa, Arfan changed a lot and even ignored her. Arfan also does not want to pick up Elsa at the airport, you must forbid Arfan huh?" instantly, Elnaz's smile faded and now there was only a look of sadness on his face at the mother's accusation.

"Ma, El isn't her...."

"El, you better not be like that. However Elsa is still your sister, still her cousin Arfan's sister too. So you should be able to understand that, like your brother, El. Got to get to the hotel alone from the airport"

Elnaz could only swallow his saliva with great difficulty hearing the heart-wrenching babble of his mother. Either until when Elnaz will always be in the son of threshing while Elsa will always be in the child emasper.

Elnaz wanted to answer all his mother's accusations but his voice was stuck in his throat, even his eyes were hot and myopic.

"El, you're listening to Mama right?" mama was upset.

"I.iya, Ma.." replied Elnaz as he rubbed his eyes.

"The old man said that to Ndok.." cried the Mama again.

Elnaz could not hold back her tears anymore, what else when her mother cut off her phone connection.

"Is this my fault too?" elnaz asked himself, for some reason all things went wrong, and Elsa was never wrong.
