(Not) The Substitute

Eps 86 - Hope Elnaz

Arfan forbids Elnaz to go down even just to turn on the lights and close the window because it was night, Elnaz certainly knows why Arfan did that but Elnaz still pretends not to know.

After the Maghrib prayer, Arfan prepared to bring Elnaz down but before his turn he closed Elnaz's eyes.

"Don't open your eyes." Arfan and Elnaz immediately nodded with a smile.

"Heart.." said Arfan as the two began to descend the stairs. Elnaz stepped with a heart. Arfan led his wife slowly, and when he got below, Arfan prepared to open the blindfold of Elnaz.

"Ready ready yes, in a matter of three, open your eyes" Arfan pinta.

"One... Two... Three..." Elnaz opened his eyes and was instantly stunned as he laughed happily when he saw his house was already in such decoration, making the atmosphere of Elnaz's birthday really felt. And that makes it much happier, Arfan invited Andy, Mom and also Kinar. Not to forget there is also Papa Elnaz who is holding a birthday cake with the number 19 candle that has been lit.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Elnaz.." yelled all of them so in unison that Elnaz laughed even more happily, he did not expect there would be good friends and Bu Kinar also in his house.

"Now blow out the candle yes, but before that make a wish first" pinta Arfan and Elnaz nodded.

Elnaz closed his eyes, his heart praying with sincerity.

"My age is 19 years old, and even at this very young age I have become a wife and daughter-in-law. And I'm required to be perfect in both, I hope I'll always be able to get through all the storms that hit me, hit my household"

Elnaz blew out his candles and all clapped happily.

"Happy birthday yes, El.." said Andy to his best friend.

"Kok you know, Ndy?" ask Elnaz later.

"I deliberately invited them to rame a little, I heard on campus you are your best friend is also still Andy Andy" said Arfan Cengengesan.

"Robin is also our friend" said Andy lightly which of course makes Arfan immediately snort.

"Male men are not good for women" said Arfan then who made Elnaz cut his lips. And Arfan's speech certainly immediately get a response from Andy directly.

"Well, you think I'm a transvestite?" the question made everyone laugh, and so did Elnaz.

"El, if you may, Papa invite your brother yes. Papa wants you to be better" said Mr. Malik then who made the laughter of Elnaz immediately stopped, he was silent for a while but then Elnaz smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Are you sure, El?" ask Arfan.

"Yes, Brother. After all Elsa is my sister" replied Elnaz.

"Yes already" answered Arfan later.

"Well, Elsa is coming? Can I have a signature, right?" ask Bu Kinar who made Andy snort annoyed.

"Don't start, Ma. We're here to celebrate Elnaz's birthday" Andy said, warning his mother that must be a scene in every way.

While Mr. Malik immediately contacted Elsa and invited her to Arfan's house tonight, Mr. Malik also said that Elnaz invited Elsa. He hopes that the relationship between his two daughters will improve.

"Why, Pa? Elsa can come?" ask Elnaz.

"Who's Jimmy?" Mrs Kinar asked with kepo.

"His girlfriend Elsa's sister, Auntie" replied Elnaz.

"Oh, it's great that Elsa has got a replacement for Arfan. Maybe because he has become a model time yes, so it must be easy to find a guy" said Bu Kinar who made Andy immediately pat his own eel.

"Mama.." Andy's sizzle was upset.

"When we wait for Elsa, why don't we just enjoy the cake?" advice Arfan.

"Don't.." exclaimed Ellaz quickly "We wait for Brother Elsa first, because during this time Kak Arfan has often got the first piece of his birthday cake El. Now El wants to give this first piece of cake to Brother Elsa" said Elnaz who of course makes Arfan flabbergasted, because he knows how unhappy Elnaz is if Elsa is around Arfan. while Mr. Malik certainly looks happy because he hopes with this his two children will get along again.

Shortly after, the bell rang out and Elnaz rushed to open the door.

Elnaz greets Elsa and Jimmy with a warm smile, making Elsa look suspiciously at her little sister.

"Hi.." said Elnaz "Please enter" and he opened the door wider.

Jimmy still looked at Elnaz with the same gaze, making Elnaz uncomfortable and even disgusted.

Mr. Malik welcomed his daughter with a warm embrace, as well as Ms. Kinar who took pictures of Elsa and Jimmy without their knowledge.

While Arfan can only put his cold face on Elsa as well as on Jimmy.

"If I knew that Ellaz would be celebrating her birthday now, I could buy a special gift for her" Jimmy said, twitching his eyes at Ellaz.

It was immediately realized Arfan and he immediately stared intently at Jimmy.

"Get your eyes on your sister-in-law!" firmly Arfan and Jimmy are acting innocent, while Elsa just glances at Arfan in surprise and annoyance.

"There's no need to talk that way to her, Fan. No one will take your Elnaz" Elsa said.

"We just cut the cake." said Elnaz then dilute the atmosphere and distract everyone.

Elnaz cuts the cake and wants to give her first bribe to Elsa, but Elsa refuses instead.

"It's supposed to be for your husband" Elsa said.

"My husband has often earned this honor, Brother Elsa. Now it's your turn" Elnaz said as he thrust his cake right in front of Elsa's mouth. Makes Elsa inevitably open her mouth again when her father looks at her.

"On El's birthday, El doesn't just pray for himself..." Elnaz said later while eating the rest of Elsa's bite cake "El also prayed for Elsa. Hopefully Elsa gets what Elsa deserves, thanks Elsa has come" said Elnaz and he hugged Elsa and whispered in her ear.

"Like this cake, brother. It was you who bit her first, but basically this cake is mine, made especially for me, the same thing as Kak Arfan" his whispers certainly made Elsa growl.

While Elnaz instead displayed his innocent smile as usual.

"Enjoy the show, you're also a sister-in-law" Elnaz told Jimmy.
