AIRCA [Bride Replacement ]

5

Airca stared at the empty dining table

"Always like this" Airca's eyes stared at her surroundings dejectedly,

"What's the matter, baby?"

"Mama" Airca was shocked to see his mother who was standing next to him

"What's wrong? "

"Ma..."

"Let's have breakfast "

"Where's dad?"

"Papa went early to the office, because there was a little problem there"

Airca was uncomfortable when his family talked about business, when Airca asked permission to study in France, his father did not allow and asked him to work for the company, but Airca did not want to, he wanted to become a teacher, and with a heavy heart his father gave him permission to go to France, although still in the hope that Airca would work in the company

"If it's Angel's sister?" Airca knew for sure her brother did not want to meet her, and it was very painful for her

"Angel has also left "

"Ma...Airca feels guilty for Angel's sister"

"Honey, you love each other, it's best for everything"

Airca stared at her breakfast which she had not touched at all

"I forgot that me and the man were in the role of a loving couple"

*****

Airca is ready with her clothes, she will meet Jane today

He went down and saw his mother watching the tv in the family room, Airca smiled and approached her mother

She sat down next to Mama and hugged the woman from the side, Mama Airca turned her eyes to look at Airca and rubbed her child's arms affectionately

"Ma...Airca out yes "

"Where?"

"Meet Jane"

"Jane?"

"Yes, Airca's friend"

"Oh...Jane, same Antonsen gone ?"

"No "

"Why ?"

"She must be busy right now, besides Airca just wants to see Jane"

"Yes already then, but you already told Antonsen right?"

"For what?"

"You're getting married to him next month, he needs to know where you're going"

"Yes, Airca will call him, Airca goes first Ma"

"Yes" Airca kissed Mama's cheek and went straight from there, she had to get out of there, she didn't want her mother to ask her to call Antonsen

"There's no way I'm calling the guy, the phone number is just I don't have "

Airca came out of the fence of his house and immediately took the Taxi Online he had ordered

Ting.....

The woman took her phone inside the bag, and saw a message from an unknown number

"Come to the xxx jewelry store, grab the ring on behalf of Carl's Antonsen"

Airca frowned in confusion

"What does that mean?" Airca tried to reply to that message he thought was from Antonsen

"What ring?"

Airca waited for a reply from Antonsen but the man did not embalm it

"He didn't reply to her "

Airca shrugged his shoulders indifferently, let him not care, he kept his phone back and stared out the window, he smiled and lowered the glass of the taxi car enjoying the atmosphere in London after so long in Paris .

***

Airca walks into a cafe and sees a woman waving at him, Airca smiles and walks quickly to the woman

"Jane" He immediately hugged Jane who was still sitting in the chair tightly

"Aircan...Jesus !" Jane was shocked when Airca suddenly hugged her

"I miss knowing so much" Airca sat down in the chair next to Jane and drank Jane's drink

"I guess you're a habit yeah, it's mine"

"To ask a little bit is not to be"

"Yes, you always do"

"All right, I'll give it back" Airca shifted the drink toward Jane

"Airca" said Jane in an angry voice with her best friend's attitude

"What's? I don't drink anymore"

Jane took a deep breath and looked at Airca seriously

"All right, tell me about the guy"

"Don't talk about him, I'm not Mood with him "

"Why ?"

"Already, now what I want is where you promised me you'd help me get the job"

"Yes, Miss Airca, let's wait for my sister first"

"Sister Sam?"

"Yes"

"Why...."

"That's it" Jane waved her hand at a man who had just entered the house

The man smiled and sat in front of the two women

"Sister, this is Airca, brother still reminds me "

"Of course, sweet girl" said Sam staring at Airca, Airca blushing at the compliment

"Sister, he's getting married next month"

"really? I'm sorry, don't tell your future husband? He could've beaten me"

Airca smiled in response, there is no way Antonsen will be angry, do not be angry, Airca sure Antonsen will not care

"Already, sister don't tease Airca, so how ?"

"Hmmm....Airca can be a teacher there"

"Really!"

A spontaneous airca speaks karas because of the spirit

"Airca" Jane looked at Airca with her eyes narrowed, so that Airca could calm down

"I'm just too happy " said Airca, still holding her big smile

Sam just smiled at the two women in front of him

"But how easy is that? It is not that the University gives strict conditions for its teachers"

"You're lucky Airca, because the Biology faculty has just retired and we're having a hard time finding a replacement, and you happen to be the best graduate in one of the best universities in France, you can replace Mr. Peter"

"Thank you Sam" said Airca with a very moved face, Jane shook her head, she had memorized the nature of this other friend, easily moved

"No problem, you also teach there, so it's easy for you"

"So tomorrow Airca can directly teach there ?" ask Jane to make sure

"Yes, my dear sister"

"Stop calling me that name, it makes me shit, look I'm still alone now it's because of brother"

Sam laughed and pinched his sister's cheek strongly

"Au..sister, stop !"

"Alright" Sam took his hand off Jane's cheek, Jane looked at her sister annoyed while rubbing her cheek that had been pinched by Sam

Airca smiles at that, he misses Donald, Donald is the son of his older brother Papa

"Sister, stop doing that, I'm ashamed"

"Not going"

"Sister!"

"Yes, my brother wants to go back to the University, my brother belain came here at lunchtime, now you have to come back soon"

Airca felt very happy and also felt bad hearing that

"Thank you, brother Sam"

"Yes, we also need teachers, and you qualify so don't feel bad about it"

Airca nodded, she felt very grateful

"Then, see you"

Sam stands up and immediately kisses Jane's head, after which Sam immediately slides away before Jane explodes

"Sister!!"

Jane was very upset by what her brother was doing, she rubbed her head and smiled uncomfortably at the other cafe visitors

"Jane, thank you"

Airca immediately hugged Jane and kissed her cheek, Jane returned Airca embrace

"So, what will you give as a sign of gratitude"

"I'll treat you, how ?"

"Reporting in balance"

After that they laughed together, Airca hugged Jane again

"Stop hugging me, this is also one of the reasons why until now I am still alone "

***

Airca walked in with a happy smile on her lips, she stopped stepping when she saw her mother crying in the family room, she said,

He was shocked and immediately approached his mother

"Mama, what's wrong?" Airca sat next to Mama and hugged her shoulder, Mama Airca who saw Airca shook her head and wiped away her tear marks

"What's wrong Ma? Why is Mom crying?"

"There's no dear"

"Mama is honest with Airca" Airca looked at Mama with pushy eyes

"Nothing...."

"Ma" Airca can't be lied to, there can't be nothing but her mother is crying

"No dear, Mama was just sad to watch Drama "Airca glanced at tv but tv aired cooking shows

"Mom don't lie" said Airca pointing to the tv

"The drama is over, it's finally very sad"

The tears were still in disbelief, as her Mama's cries were very different, there was a very hurt feeling in her eyes, the Tirca exhaled heavily, and hugged her Mama

"Mom don't cry anymore "

After Airca calmed her mother, she wanted to go upstairs, and see the broken flower vase on the floor

She called for the maid to clean it, and when Airca wanted to climb the stairs, she saw her brother

Angel walked up to Airca and looked at her hate

"Are you enjoying your role? You look so happy after taking my future husband"

Somehow Airca felt a little annoyed at her Brother, she felt that Angel was the cause of her Mother crying

"What did Angel's sister say to Mama, until Mama cried ?" asked Airca in an unaffected tone with Angel's words to her

"Stop calling me brother, 'cause I'm not your sister"

Airca took her breath slowly, she had to get used to her brother's harsh words from now on

"Sister can be mad at me, but don't make Mama cry"

"You know what? Oh yeah, you know you're just taking people's husbands"

"I don't know why I'm doing this!" Airca raised her tone, feeling annoyed at her brother

"Regardless of why, but you're happy ! You're glad you took mine!"

Airca looked at her brother who was looking at her with her sharp eyes, she turned her face and continued her steps up the stairs, but before the Airca rose, Angel pulled her hand and pushed her down onto the floor

Airca was startled and looked at Angel who was smiling cynically at him

"Sister Angel..." Airca stared in disbelief at her brother

"Why ? You don't accept it?" Angel snorted cynically and she left Airca still sitting on the floor

Airca looked at Angel who was gone, her tears came down uncontrollably, she immediately stood up and ran towards her room, closing the door with a loud voice.

On the one hand, a middle-aged woman cries in the corner of the house after witnessing the thing that makes her feel like a failure to be a mother,

"I'm sorry Mama Airca....Angel"

***

Airca sits himself at the table he used to read books, he drops his head on his desk and covers his face with his hands

The tears wept loudly, he really could not hear the words of hate from the people he loved

"Why did Angel do that to me, what's my fault? I don't want this to happen either"

He stared at the bag he had thrown on the bed, Airca walked up to the bed and took his phone in the bag

A call from an unknown number, Airca stared at her phone still as hiccupping as she cried

He picked up the call and immediately got a cruel word from there

"Why don't you come there! I told you to go there and get the ring!"

Airca cries more and more so when he hears a clash from across the phone, but Airca can cover it by crying without a sound

"Why are you just silent! Answer!"

"Yes" Airca tried to normalize her voice, and tried not to scream

"Tomorrow you must take the ring!"

Tut's... Tut's..

The call was immediately decided by Antonsen right after he spoke, Airca crying back

"He's an insensitive man, he scolded me while I was crying, and he said, why is he so cruel!?"
