(Not) The Substitute

Eps 54 - Elsa's decision

At the airport, Elsa is picked up by her father and Elsa's guts instantly shriek when she accidentally stares into his eyes. The anger and disappointment are clearly there.

"Enter.." said Mr. Malik while opening the car door, Elsa entered and Mr. Malik closed the door very rudely, making Elsa jumped in shock because of the sound of a bang that was caused. Mr. Malik even half-throws Elsa's suitcase back, making Elsa shudder and she looks down in fear.

Then Mr. Malik sits at the wheel and he runs the car at full speed, making Elsa even more afraid. But suddenly Mr. Malik stepped on the brake, once again making Elsa jumped in shock.

"Who would let you do such a job, Sa?" ask her father who can not stand the anger in this daughter.

"That's...." Elsa tried to explain the name of the fear of the glint of anger in her father's eyes that made Elsa unable to say anything, and she could only swallow her saliva.

"Papa doesn't want to know, you have to stop doing that job. Why don't you do another job?"

"But my mind is indeed a model, Pa.." said Elsa.

"It has to be like this, Sa? Want to put where Papa's face is with your Mama, Sa? People are busy talking about your body, astagfirullah.." murmured Mr. Malik at the end of his sentence, he was really unable to imagine the body of his daughter into public consumption.

"I'm just being professional, Pa...." Elsa answered again which made her father hit the steering wheel hard.

"Why are you so stubborn, Sa? Huh?" her screams that made Elsa immediately cry a mouthful.

Mr. Malik returned to run his car home, still with the same anger while Elsa was still crying.

Arriving at home, Elsa's neighbors immediately peeked at Elsa who is now famous for her sexy photo. Things make Mr. Malik increasingly feel no face, he dragged Elsa into his house.

Inside, Miss Isna who saw Elsa crying immediately hugged her and calmed her down.

"Mas, I told you not to get angry, this can be a good talk" said Ms. Isna.

"I've spoken well, but he remains stubborn" said Mr. Malik angrily.

"Ma.." whining Elsa to the Mama "I don't mean to embarrass our family, it's just a job demand, Ma. Please understand my position.." said that made Mr. Malik grow angry.

"Sa, Papa always obeys all your will, always supporting your decision, but not now, Elsa. You've gone too far" exclaimed the angry father.

"Mas, there's no need to yell at Elsa either.." continued Ms. Isna.

"This is what makes him feel the head, you always spoil him, Is..."

"Why are you guys making a storm?" ask the grandmother who came out of her room with her limped steps.

Grandma saw Elsa crying, she let out a faint sigh at the granddaughter.

"Mom, why follow me anyway?" ask Miss Isna upset.

"Not her mother followed, Is. I only care about Elsa, my dear mother Elsa, I don't want her to be the scorn of people." said the grandmother.

"Mr..." Elsa approaches her grandmother, clasping her wrinkled hand "I know you all care about me, but it's just work, Grandma. Since I've dreamed of becoming a model, please understand, Grandma.

"Grandma knows, son. But what's half naked like that?" asked the grandmother in a voice trembling "Shame, Sa. There's a lot of guy eyes enjoying your body, just stop, yeah... Find another job, you'll be smart, you'll get a much better job" persuaded the grandmother who like her it even makes Elsa upset.

"Why don't you guys want to understand me just a little bit? Why should you care about other people?" ask Elsa, annoyed.

"We understand, Sa. You do not understand what, we forbid you because we care" said Mr. Malik.

"Dwarf?" cry Elsa with the emotion that began to peak "If you care, you will not let Elnaz take Arfan. You won't let them get married." cried Elsa with overflowing emotions.

"Why take Elnaz and Arfan?" ask the grandmother who did not think about it with her grandchild.

"This is your problem, Sa. There is no relationship with Arfan, Elnaz what else is their marriage" said the grandmother.

"Of course, there is, Grandma." cried Elsa with tears that flowed back "If only Elnaz had not married Arfan, now my life would not have been this.." isaac Elsa, Miss Isna rubbed Elsa's shoulder, hoping to calm her child's emotions.

"It's your decision to leave Arfan and ask Elnaz to be your replacement, Sa.." said the father also with mounting emotions.

"And it's just a replacement when you're sitting at the aisle, Pa. Not married and made his wife" replied Elsa fiercely "And you let all that happen, then where is your concern, Pa? Grandma?"

"We did not prevent your decision to leave at that time, Sa.." exclaimed the grandmother "Just like that, we also could not prevent Arfan's decision to marry Elnaz" he said.

"Then, this is also my decision and you have no right to interfere in my affairs because I am an adult." cried Elsa later.

"But you have made your parents ashamed, Sa.." furious Mr. Malik with true emotions already in his ubun.

"Why then, Pa? It's just part of my job, Pa. Papa does not need to listen to other people's words." said Elsa remained stubbornly that made Pak Malik's emotions increasingly uncontrolled and he immediately threw his slap on Elsa.

Plakkk

"You're Papa's son to Mama, so listen to our words." cried Mr. Malik.

Elsa was immediately speechless while holding her cheeks that felt hot due to the slap of the father, while Bu Isna also could only be stunned by the anger of her husband who was never that angry before. The grandmother could only remain silent and she felt that what Malik was doing was right, hoping that Elsa would no longer be stubborn after this.
