(Not) The Substitute

Eps 50 - Photo by Elsa

Bu Kinar was playing his cell phone as usual, while Andy was busy packing their stuff because they both finally decided to similarly move to Jakarta. Of course after Andy forced his mother, what else Om Hardi in Jakarta was also living alone after living dead his wife. Andy is also worried about his mother if he lives alone.

"Oh yeah, Andy. You still communicate with Elnaz often?" ask Ms. Kinar who is still busy on her social media.

"Still, Ma. In fact, we're going to college at the same college" Andy replied after closing his suitcase.

"Well, that's good. So you can stay friends, you know where Elnaz's house in Jakarta is?"

"No. no..."

"Aaghhh.." shouted Bu Kinar then which made Andy surprised.

"What the hell, Ma?" ask Andy, annoyed.

"It's..."

Ms. Kinar showed off her phone screen that featured a photo of Elsa in a sexy bikini.

"Astagfirullah.." murmured Andy but instead shifted the screen of his Mama's phone and he again saw a photo of Elsa "Mama Nemu from where is this photo, Ma?"

"On social media Mama's subscription magazine, Ndy. Oh, my God, Elsa's in a magazine now"

"But the picture is like this, Ma..."

"It's okay, model work is..."

"But there are all kinds of models, Ma. Why did Elsa even choose to be a model like that"

"Where do you know, share first ah let the more famous Elsa..."

"Don't, Ma.."

"Already"

"Remove..."

"Huh, there are already five seeds that like..."

And in the end Andy could only sigh long, somehow his mother likes to share things like that.

"Hem, finally there is also an international model of our village, Ndy.." said Bu Kinar then without the slightest burden, while Andy who knows Elnaz and his family feels it is not a pride but a disgrace.

"Mama proud of that?" ask Andy.

"Yes, Ndy. Pretty Elsa, sexy, already like... Um, who's the beautiful model, Ndy?"

"All models are beautiful times, Ma..."

"Yes, too, so Elsa can be a model. Pretty anyway..."

"His words are prettier Elnaz?"

"Yes he's calmer, Ndy. Elnaz can also be a model, but it seems more suitable to be a model of the game, ayu..."

Andy can only shake his head, sometimes he feels his Mama like a teenager who is not mature enough, but considering he is a single parent, his Mama includes strong women, wonder woman.

.........

Elnaz read the campus brochure that had been chosen, he liked the campus because it was close to the hospital where Arfan worked. In addition, the cost is also still affordable, Elnaz does not want to burden Arfan with exorbitant tuition fees if you choose an elite campus. In addition, he and Andy will be on the same campus even though the majors are different, but Elnaz is happy at least he has the same friends from his hometown.

"Hem, really serious read it.." exclaimed Arfan who is currently joining Elnaz on the sofa.

"Andy wants to enter this campus as well, sister.." exclaimed Elnaz while smiling happily.

"Well, nice dong. So you can have friends" Arfan continued "Eh, but Andy did not have a crush on you, right, El?" asked Arfan then who made Elnaz laugh.

"Don't know." replied Elnaz who made Arfan glare.

"Must know dong, El..."

"Well, El can't read people's hearts, sister..."

"Astagfirullah.." muttered Elnaz but Arfan instead increasingly showed his serious mimicry.

"Em, sister.." cried Elnaz later.

"Why?" ask Arfan while taking the tv remote and turn it on.

"Photo of Elsa and Arfan at the hotel...." Arfan looked directly at Elnaz when he got the question, he looked at Elnaz with a pushy look.

"Why are you asking that, El?"

"It's nothing." replied Elnaz while looking back down at the brochure he was holding.

Arriving Arfan immediately lay his head on the lap of Elnaz, making Elnaz jerked in shock

"We never stayed in a hotel room, honey. Don't think strangely strange, besides if you keep thinking about my past, you yourself are sad and claustrophobic. Already yes, do not think about it anymore." pinta Arfan and Elnaz could only nod slowly. Because what Arfan said was true, Elnaz always felt tight whenever he thought of Arfan's past with Elsa.

"Sister.." muttered Elnaz again.

"Why, Honey?" ask Arfan gaunt.

"Kangen granny.." whining Elnaz.

"Yes, let's call grandma.." said Arfan then took his cell phone on the table, he contacted his grandmother but there was no answer.

"Maybe grandma's busy or sleeping, El. Not answered..."

"Hem yes already.." replied Elnaz then he took his cellphone and surfed ria on social media, while Arfan was still busy with television broadcasts that were reporting various kinds of accidents.

"Astagfirullah.." muttered Elnaz as he saw the post shared by his Mama Andy.

"Why, El?" arfan asked but Elnaz quickly shook his head.

"It's nothing, brother." replied Elnaz.

Elnaz was very surprised to see a photo of Elsa who made sexy has been spread, there are many people who like and comment the photo. Even Elnaz saw that someone had shared as well.

What Elnaz was thinking about right now was both his parents and his grandmother. They must be very surprised and sad to see this photo.

"What the hell are you, El? Why is that so?" asked Arfan who was curious and he was about to take Elnaz's phone but Elnaz did not give it.

"It's nothing, brother." replied Elnaz.

"Long, you chat and who the hell, hm?" tanya Arfan snatched Elnaz's phone and Arfan was wide-eyed when he saw the sexy photo of his former fiancee.

"Astagfirullah.." muttered Arfan dumbfounded.

"Why would he do a photo shoot like this?"

"Thank you, it's like Mama Papa if you look at this photo, sister." said Elnaz sadly.

"They can't see it, they don't have a social media account." said Arfan.

"But our neighbors have, they know, Brother. This is the first time I shared a photo of Elsa's sister, Aunt Kinar"

Arfan saw the comments on the photo, there are many people who commented, some praised the beauty and the beauty of Elsa's body but there are also those who sneered at Elsa.

...... ...

Elnaz's guess is not wrong, at this time Miss Isna can only cry at her house when the child of her neighbors shows a sexy photo of Elsa. He was really embarrassed and felt like he had no face, what else did the neighbors start talking about Elsa who was so brave.

"Is, what's up?" ask her mother-in-law who saw Isna crying a mouthful.

"There is nothing." replied Isna ketus and he rushed to his room.

In her room, Ms. Isna was trying to contact Elsa but after several attempts there was no answer.

"What have you done, Sa?"
