A Man's Self-Esteem Is Working

The Substitute Bride

The day of the National Exam results notification arrived, everyone seemed to be hoping - please worry is no exception me.

I felt like dejavu while waiting for the results of the Husein National Examination first, this chest rippled back when it missed him. All students are declared to graduate with a fairly satisfactory achievement for some people.

This heartwarming day makes me sad for longing.

I walked away from her without even thinking that I felt tormented.

Heartbroken because first love really smothers the chest.

The sweet beginning is only disappointing.

Who knows the end of all.

This love is torturous.

Will you be the antidote.

Spilling the taste that has been stored in the chest niche.

I know this sense there should be no restuny is our barrier.

I will pray you be happy.

Although I'm not his companion.

I put ink in the notebook that I always carry, I want to say everything I feel but there will always be consequences when someone chooses the toughest decision, and the result that I will get is the strain of the relationship between Husein and Abi.

Tonight I was just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, hoping for the drowsiness to arrive.

Husein where are you? Why are the end of this you're not having any news with me? I really miss you, Hussain.

Back when I dared to accept and fall in love with you it never occurred to me that I too had to accept the pain of this feeling. Just because a feeling that can't be with us all has to be hurt.

There was a knock on the door, Mother came to me and sat on the lip of the bed.

"What's wrong mom?" I sat up on the bed with a pillow in my lap

"Indri can I talk? You remember the son of Mother Ningsih friend Mother in a few days will get married" said the mother's eyes look glazed.

"Yes Indri's mother remembers we were all invited, right? Why is it, Mom?" Ask me why Mother is sad to tell the marriage of her friend's children

"You're right, baby, but they're having an accident, the bride turns out to be having an affair and is pregnant by her cheating man, the family of Bu Ningsih and Pak Prapto were so devastated that - until Bu Ningsih had to be rushed to the hospital for embarrassment" said Mother accompanied by sobs.

I understand very well Mother must be confused and sad, they must want me as a substitute bride according to the life debt agreement when I was born.

"A.. do they ask me to be a substitute bride?" I asked a little sad even though from the beginning I prepared my heart to be firm not feel the clear circle collapsed for days harboring sadness with the love story I experienced and now the sadness was there at the top of that, I had to pay my life debt by being a substitute bride.

Hussein is the end of our love story

"Ma. sorry.pardon Mother Son, the limitations of Mother at that time make you have to pay everything if at this time Mother pays with a larger nominal they do not necessarily want to accept it, they do not necessarily want to accept it, their current state needs you more than our money "Mom choked - sad and grabbed my body, we cried together.

I'm sorry Husein with a heavy heart I have to leave you trying to bury this taste and I will try to live the day with your replacement, even though my heart always stands with you.

"Now that they're in the living room, they're waiting to talk to you, do you want to see them, son?" mother asked with still accompanied by sobs coming out of her mouth.

" Both Miss Indri will come out to meet them" Mom and I went out together and sat down with those who had been waiting for me.

Mother Ningsih glazed over the glass when she saw me coming, the middle-aged woman sat down beside my seat and grabbed onto my two steps.

"Indri forgive aunt, can aunty collect your Mom's promise now?" Said Bu Ningsih

"When was the wedding date?" Ask me flat.

"Another week" replied Ms. Ningsih

"If you don't want it I won't use it either, you're just a little boy far from my standards" Ardi said.

Why is this person never to not be arrogant.

"I'm willing to be a surrogate bride but I'm sorry I accept this all based on my mother's return to your mother, not to meet the standards of the woman of your dreams, oh yes about the standard of the woman you love? Who leaves you in a week's time to get married? Unfortunately you're not the standard of the man he loves until he goes to betray you" I'm furious this man should have persuaded the woo to cover up the disgrace he accidentally made before his parents.

"YOU!! I'll make a covenant letter in which I forbid you to love me for the rest of your life" Her hardened grinning glare

"It is with great pleasure, sir" I replied with a mocking smile that he was so overconfident that he made such a pact.

Plakk

The sound of a slap echoed in every ear that heard it. Silence is created.

clearly printed palms are flushed in the smooth cheeks of the man.

"It's enough, keep your mouth shut it's all this wouldn't happen if you were wise in choosing a partner already from the beginning I said we weren't worth the woman they were too high for us to reach, I said, look what she has done she's like throwing dirt on our faces all you should be grateful Indri wants to accept our proposal she sincerely accepts you as her husband because of what I know Indri I also have a lover"

said Ibu Ningsih at length

Deg

How did he know I had a boyfriend.

I just looked down and cried back to remember Hussein's sweet face.

"It seems like there's nothing I need to talk about anymore, I beg you to take a break I want to rest" I got up from my seat, I saw the look on the face of the Silent Father.

What all this time Father and Mother already know if I have Hussein.

"So have you talked about it with Hussein?" ask the subtle.

Sobs come out of my mouth, why do you have to know? Why do you ask Husein, I really can no longer.

Mom and Dad hugged me, and we hugged each other.

As I wiped away my tears I saw Husein staring at the door that was slightly open.

"Husein" I said softly.

all gasped in shock leading to the same look at the door gap.

I approached Husein.

"Husein" my gentle greeting

"Are you being proposed?" Hussein asked, his eyes were already glazed.

"Yes so I hope you can forget me" I said with tears streaming down my cheeks I couldn't hold it anymore.

"What's my fault? Why are you so bad? I told you that I'm going to tell you why did you receive someone else's proposal?!"

"Yesterday I did disappear because I had an emotion with photos circulating about you, I did not want to override it and muddy our relationship but it turns out the photo is true"

"Photo?!" Ask me to parroted

Husein gave up her phone because I knew what her password was the date I declared my love.

I saw a picture of Ardi hugging me during her engagement one year ago.

"Where did you get this photo?" Ask me wonder it turns out that my guess was right when Ardi's fiancee was someone who deliberately took pictures of us.

"Jeslynn"
