(Not) The Substitute

Eps 73 - Household Drama

"Well another cab, El?" robin asked Elnaz and Elnaz just nodded slowly.

"Bareng to me, we're in line with my workplace" Robin asked.

"Thank you, Rob. But I called a taxi" replied Elnaz "Oh yeah, can I ask?"

"You ask what? Want to ask if I have a boyfriend?" robin's tease makes Elnaz laugh.

"No, want to ask why you work while it turns out you are a rich man's son" said Elnaz and immediately Robin immediately displayed his flat face.

"It's okay" replied Robin flatly and Elnaz also understood that Robin did not want to discuss it. Elnaz did not continue the topic.

Elnaz glanced at his watch because his taxi never came. He also tried to contact his taxi but he even got the news that the taxi car tire was leaking.

"Why?" robin asked, looking at Elnaz, annoyed.

"The taxi was leaked" said Elnaz annoyed.

"Hem like it's destiny we go home together, come on, El. I won't tease you, I know you have a husband. After all, we're just friends" Robin said. Elnaz thought about it for a moment, but then he nodded in agreement. Makes Robin smile.

Elnaz got on Robin's bike and Robin immediately ran his bike. On the way home, Elnaz was silent. He thought back to Arfan who really looked cold since yesterday, plus the pressure in-laws who wanted a baby.

"El..."

"Elnaz.." call Robin because he sees a dreamy-looking Elnaz from his motorcycle spy.

"Huh, huh? Why?" ask Elnaz.

"But, why? Your husband cheated?" seductive Robin while chuckling amused but Elnaz put on his serious look and for him it was not a joke

Robin again glanced at Elnaz from the rearview mirror and Robin knew like he had mistakenly chosen the topic of the joke. Both of them went quiet again for a while, until Robin who was bored again called Elnaz.

"Elnaz..."

"Hm..."

"When have you known Jimmy and Papa?" tanya Robin made Elnaz's eyebrows wrinkle.

"Why is that?" ask Elnaz back.

"El, ever since I first knew you, I knew you were a good person, as did your husband. That's why I remind you that hanging out with Jimmy and Papa is not a good choice" said Robin seriously who made the wrinkles on Elnaz's forehead deeper.

"What do you mean?" elnaz asked because he still did not understand. Robin seemed to want to say something but he looked doubtful, not to mention that they were in the middle of the road and were on their way.

"What do you mean, Rob?" elnaz asked again because he was very curious.

"Later I tell you" replied Robin, and soon they arrived in front of Elnaz's house. Elnaz got off Robin's bike.

"Well, Jimmy's why, Rob?" elnaz asked again because he knew Jimmy and Elsa must have a relationship, so Elnaz worried about his brother if Jimmy was not a good person.

"Jimmy is a play boy. He's a photographer who works with Papa's company, and there's a lot of model models who are victims of him, El" Robin said full of confidence that makes Elnaz look shocked, because Elsa is also a model at her Papa Robin's modeling agency.

Arfan got out of his car and he looked angry at Elnaz.

"Get in!!!" arfan orders cold.

"I... Yes, sister" replied Elnaz "Thank you, Rob" said later and Robin just smiled then he went back to running his bike and left from there.

"Son Arfan said his overtime?" elnaz asked trying to melt the atmosphere because Arfan displayed his current super cold expression.

"Keep what if I'm late? You want to go with Robin?" his question which was more into the form of accusations, made Elnaz surprised because he did not expect Arfan would say that.

"What's Arfan talking about, brother? I was hitching a ride with Robin because the cab I ordered couldn't make it, the tires were leaking. Robin's workplace is also in the same direction as our home" explained Elnaz but like his Arfan still can not accept the explanation.

"Well, you can't order another cab?" It was precisely the question that came back out of the lips of Arfan and Elnaz did not answer him, he waltzed into the house. Arfan followed the drama behind.

"The answer to my question, Elnaz.." Arfan said, but Elnaz was still reluctant to answer him, because he felt hurt by Arfan's accusation.

"Elnaz, you can't hear me, huh? Why do you have to go home with Robin? I ask you to take a taxi, why do you want to go home with another man without your husband's permission? Since when have you been such a bully?" arfan exclaimed that made Elnaz even more upset that he would soon cry so upset and he really did not think his husband would call his dissident.

"El apologizes for being defiant and unable to be the perfect wife" replied Elnaz coldly late on and she still continued walking towards her room.

"Then why don't you follow my orders to take a taxi? Can't call another taxi?" asked Arfan with emotions that certainly provoked the emotions of Elnaz.

"Can." replied Elnaz later while stopping his steps and turning to face Arfan. Elnaz even half-cried.

"El can order another taxi, but still have to wait again. While El wants to go home soon, wants to rest, homework is also still a lot that El has not done" said Elnaz with a trembling voice even unconsciously he returned to shed tears, for some reason he really felt annoyed at Arfan now and his emotions immediately peaked.

"Waiting for a taxi for an hour? Didn't you?" asked Arfan again still with emotion, even he seemed not to see the tears of Elnaz because of emotion since earlier when he saw Elnaz with other men.

"Yes, I was wrong... I'm sorry, I'm not going to argue anymore. I'm sorry I couldn't be who you wanted to be" Elnaz later said, and she ran straight into her room crying.

Instantly Arfan was stunned and he seemed to have just realized what had just happened.

"Elnaz.." cried Arfan while running into his room and he found Elnaz who was putting dirty clothes into the basket.

"El, brother apologized, dear" said Arfan softly but as if Elnaz did not hear it, tears still flow on his cheeks even though many times Elnaz had erased it.

"El.." call Arfan clear but Elnaz instead goes to the back to wash the clothes.

"Elnaz, brother's sorry..." Arfan still faithfully follows his wife.

"No need to apologize, it's my fault, my dissident, I'm not a good wife" said Elnaz coldly who made Arfan sigh heavily.

"Honey, that's not what you mean" said Arfan but suddenly his phone rang, Arfan saw the hospital number listed on his cellphone screen.

Arfan answered the call and the nurse asked Arfan to go to the hospital immediately because there was an emergency.

"Darling, brother go first. Brother promised to go home as soon as possible" said Arfan but Elnaz did not pay attention to it.

Even so, Arfan still kissed the head of Elnaz who is currently washing clothes and once again Arfan apologized.
