GRUDGE (I'm Not A Shadow)

REPLACE WHAT?

One week later, Rahmat gets closer to the waiter at Widjhaja's family home. But not with his return and also his own father, Grace seemed to gather with strangers when close to the father and also his brother.

Like that night, Rahmat deliberately went to Nung's room.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck.. The sound of Grace knocked on the door of Mbok Nung's room slowly.

“Second young master,” says surprised mbok. “Why are you here?” ask Mbok Nung with fear.

“Mbok, Grace can sleep here yes,” pinta Rahmat with face pleading.

Clearly implied fear on the face of old mbok Nung. Not afraid that Grace would pervert him, but afraid that he would be angered and fired by his master. But he also did not dare to refuse the wish of Mercy.

“But what second young master is okay sleeping in the room, mbok?” the mbok looked hesitant.

“Gak papa, Mbok,” Rahmat immediately enter bring his pillow into the room mbok Nung.

“Please, sir,” says mbok Nung.

“Mbok, don't call Grace sir. Grace does not like,” said Grace. “Mbok here, please hold the head of Grace,” mbok Nung was surprised to hear the boy's request. The 21-year-old behaved like a child.

“Sini, mbok. Please Grace, Grace cannot sleep well while here. Grace misses mother,” said Grace. Mbok Nung immediately got on his bed. Then approached Grace and gently stroked the young man's head.

“Sleep, sir.. Mbok will accompany,” said mbok Nung in a slow voice.

“Mbok, if we miss someone who has died. How do we let go of longing?” ask Grace like a child who is still innocent.

“We must send a prayer to the person we miss,” said mbok Nung while continuing to stroke the head of Grace.

“Rahmat misses mom, Mbok. Tonight exactly 2 months mother left Rahmat, and already almost two months Rahmat was in Jakarta,” explained Rahmat to make mbok Nung sad.

“Young master must be patient, now also young master has gathered with papa and also twin brother, mr.” Mbok Nung.

“Papa and brother are like strangers to Grace. Somehow Grace feels unhappy and always feels threatened in danger if it is close to them,” said Rahmat with closed eyes. He told the fear that was in his heart to mbok Nung.

“Young master should not say so, they are still young master's brothers. Young master has just met them, so it is natural that like a stranger,” said mbok Nung, he tried to think positively with his employer.

“But with mbok it feels different, Grace feels calm, mbok,” clear Grace again.

Mbok Nung was silent, he did not know he had to answer the young man who thirsted for affection. The poor boy.

Finally Mbok Nung can feel calm after Grace falls asleep. “Thank God.. This child finally fell asleep,” mbok Nung also went to sleep with a position leaning on the wall of the bed and holding the head of Grace on his thigh. His hand was deliberately placed on the young man's head.

The next morning, Lord Brahma called out the name of Grace. But he did not say, he also opened the second son's room. But I didn't find him either.

“Rahmat.. Grace..” call lord Brahma. “Where is the boy? Is he suspicious?” mr. Brahma.

He came down from upstairs and asked the servants.

“Did you all see the second young master?” ask the master to the servant.

“No, sir,” replied the waiter one and two.

“What's up, sir?” ask Mbok Nung while preparing breakfast on the table.

“Did you see Grace?” asked Lord Brahma with a cold aura.

“Ma-ma-sorry, Sir.. The young master slept in my room last night,” mbok Nung made lord Brahma and also the other servants surprised by what mbok Nung said.

“Second young master couldn't sleep last night, he said. He misses his late mother, which last night coincided with the two months of his death,” obviously mbok Nung with fear.

“Ya already then, please tell her. After he wakes up, please have him meet me,” said Mr. Brahma then leave the kitchen area.

“Good, master!” sahut mbok Nung while bowing his head.

“Papa, until when will I be in brackets like this? I'm bored, pa!”

“You have patience a little, later papa will talk to him,”, said Mr. Brahma to his eldest son.

“But until when? Later, this has been a week from the arrival of Grace,” said the eldest son of Lord Brahma.

“Quickly, soon papa will talk to him. Be patient, this is not an easy matter,” explained Mr. Brahma. He asked his eldest son to be patient.

“If everything does not work out, then I will go far away from this city even this country,” said his eldest son.

“Papa will do his best, papa promise,” said Mr. Brahma while stroking his son's head.

“Go, Pa. I'm going to sleep again,” he grabbed his phone and went back inside his blanket.

Lord Brahma sighed heavily, but he immediately exited his son's room. Then shut the door of the room back.

An hour later, at the dinner table. Only sat Mercy and also Lord Brahma. Again the twin brothers Grace did not come to eat together.

“Papa, will sister not come to eat with us?” the same question, which Grace always asks the father when he wants to start a meal.

“Leave it, she. He is indeed like that,” said lord Brahma without looking at the face of Grace. “Eat your breakfast, do not have much thought,” continued mr. Brahma.

Grace did not say another word, she immediately started her breakfast.

“Let's go after the meal, meet papa in the study there is something important you want to talk about,” said Mr. Brahma as he finished his breakfast.

“Iya,” says Grace.

Grace immediately finished her breakfast, after which she caught up with the father who was in her study.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

“Come in!” the voice of Lord Brahma from within.

Grace went into his father's office and sat down in front of him.

“What's up, Pa?” tanyakanya.

“Papa has one request against you, this is the first and last,” said mr. Brahma.

“What request? Grace will try to give if Grace can,” said Grace.

“This is related to the problem of your twin brother,” said Mr. Brahma while staring fixedly at the face of Grace.

“Related with sister?” ask the grace that does not understand.

“True, papa wants you to take his place,” said lord Brahma again.

“Replace what do you mean, papa? Where can we exchange?” surprised, Grace heard the words and requests of her father.
