(Not) The Substitute
Eps 90 - Elnaz Change
"Jimmy's mouth, Elsa's sister or whatever it is, it's none of our business, brother" insisted Elnaz who made Arfan smile wryly, because it was also said by himself to Elnaz when Elnaz tried to explain about Jimmy and Elsa to Arfan and also to his Papa.
"Darling, I know you're disappointed with Elsa, so am I. And I'm sorry that I didn't believe you at the time, El. Because you have no evidence and you convey that information only with the word Robin.." said Arfan who made Elnaz speech as well and he justifies what Arfan said.
"But now that there's proof, I even know where Jimmy's wife's house is. We can take Elsa there" continued Arfan but Elnaz instead responded with a slanted smile.
"His dear El did not want to bother, Brother" said Elnaz coldly then he continued his ironing.
"Kok you talk like that, El? I understand you don't like Elsa but she's your sister, right?"
"That's right, sister.." insisted Elnaz then looked back at Arfan "He's my brother, but never once did he do what an older brother should do? Never, once did she appreciate me as her little sister?" elnaz said full of emotion.
"Even when I told Papa about Sister Elsa it was because I cared, because she was my sister, but what did she do in return? He was theatrical, reversing the facts, making it look like I was wrong" he continued.
"If you really care about him, please. I'm tired" Elnaz said again.
Arfan looked at his wife who increasingly looked different, what else in a time like this.
Arfan sees Elnaz now is a figure who easily provoked his emotions.
"Darling..." Elnaz called his wife softly, he hugged her from behind, smirking Elnaz's cheek with anxiety.
"Last of this your emotions often go up huh" Arfan said in a low voice.
"Yes up if the problem is this just continue, bosen El" ketus Elnaz that makes Arfan chuckle.
"This is what is this?" ask Arfan.
"It's Kak Elsa's problem, it's Mama-in-law's problem. Like the burden of El's life is heavy because of them" said Elnaz who made Arfan gaping, Arfan did not expect Elnaz would say so.
"Well, let's forget about that. Let you be no burden" Arfan said later, although he was still thinking about Elsa, Arfan felt sorry for Elsa's fate now.
