I'm Not a Substitute

Episodes 104

The next morning when Rayan and Alana were about to go to the hospital, Sari arrived by taking an online taxi. The old woman approached Alana and Rayan who immediately greeted her warmly.

“Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Sari's question made Rayan frown. The man then turned his head to look at Alana as if asking if it was Alana who told Sari about Caterine.

“Yes.. I told mom..” Alana Smile.

Rayan nodded slowly. If you can be honest, actually Rayan does not want outsiders to know about what Caterine does. Because according to Rayan it is quite embarrassing. Trying to end a life is a shortcut for short-thinking people who will surely be considered ridiculous by anyone who knows it.

“By mommy tag along? Mom wants to visit mom.”

Rayan remained silent. Caterine had always been unkind to Sari just yet. Rayan felt bad if Sari came to visit the hospital and upon arrival there Sari actually received bad treatment from Caterine later.

“Before I apologize ma'am.. I didn't forbid my mother to come. You know how and what my mommy is like.. I'm afraid mom will feel uncomfortable there.” Said Rayan feeling very bad actually saying that.

Sari smiled faintly hearing it. The woman then sighed and looked at Rayan amusedly.

“You are rich with anyone Rayan. I know how your mommy is. And you can understand also understand.”

Rayan looked at Alana. The nod and smile of Alana's lips made Rayan inevitably agree. Sari has known Caterine for a long time. Caterine has never been kind to the servants, including Sari and aunt, who in fact are the oldest servants among the other servants.

“Good. Let's bu..” Rayan's smile opens the car door for Sari.

“Thanks Rayan.” Angguk Sari then entered into Rayan's car precisely in the back seat.

Alana got into Rayan's car. Alana positioned herself next to the steering wheel that would be occupied by Rayan. Alana hopes that there will be no commotion at the hospital later.

“We leave now.” Said Rayan who just got into the car and immediately put a seat belt on her body.

Alana nodded slowly and Rayan immediately drove her car passed from her luxurious residence.

On the way to the hospital the atmosphere in Rayan's car was silent. Alana and Sari did not talk about anything at all as well as Rayan who chose to focus on driving her car. Rayan was really worried about Caterine's attitude to Sari later. Alana would definitely not let anyone insult her mother. And it's definitely gonna make a fuss there.

In a short time they arrived at the hospital. Rayan immediately takes Alana and Sari to Caterine's ward. There they find Caterine who is being fed by Sechil with Ramon who is behind Sechil.

Rayan was silent for a moment. Rayan was a little curious as to why Ramon could be inside Caterine's nursery. Though usually Caterine strongly rejects the existence of Ramon around him.

“Rayan...” Caterine's shrill voice made Rayan smile thinly. Rayan then stepped in with Alana's hand. While Sari, the woman stepped beside Alana who was led by Rayan.

“Sari.. You come here too?”

Alana frowning. Caterine's face looked very bright despite seeing her and Sari. It is not as usual according to Alana.

“Yes mistress, how is the madam doing now?” Sari asked smiling so up next to Caterine's gurney.

“Caterine, just call me Caterine. We besan now.” Caterine's successful smile makes Rayan and Alana ask questions with changes to her arrival.

“But mistress.”

“Alana wife Rayan Sari. Alana has become my son too, as well as Rayan who became your child.” Sela Caterine's.

Sari nodded her head in agreement.

“Alright, Caterine. How are you doing now?”

Caterine smilingly looked at Sechil and Rayan before finally staring back at Sari.

“As you see now. I'm fine now. God still gives me the chance to be a good person Sari.” Answer Caterine.

Rayan really does not understand. Caterine became good after trying to end her own life. But Rayan couldn't just believe it completely. Rayan felt strange also felt there was another pleasure behind the good change Caterine this time.

Caterine then looked at Alana. Caterine raised her hand waving at Alana giving the code for Alana to get close to her.

“Come, my daughter.”

Alana frowning. Caterine called him a very sweet name. Alana looked at Caterine's hand that was raised towards her. It is impossible if Caterine just changes. Caterine's hatred for her was like ingrained. Changed just because he failed to die when he ended his life it feels very strange and suspicious.

But because he did not want to be suspected of rejecting the call from Caterine, Alana finally approached. And as soon as Alana was right next to her safe, Caterine immediately grabbed Alana's hand and clasped her tightly.

“Sorry... Mommy's sorry.. Mommy's a lot wrong with you, son.. Mommy's been mean to you.”

Alana was surprised by what Caterine did. I don't know what Caterine's apology means now Alana can't guess. But Alana will remain vigilant. Alana won't believe Caterine's apology.

“You want sorry mommy?” Caterine asked looking at Alana expectantly with both eyes glazed over.

Alana swallowed her saliva. Alana looked at Rayan who was just silent. Rayan did not nod at all what else was smiling. Alana believes Rayan must also feel the same as Alana is feeling.

“Mommy has realized everything Alana. Mommy please forgive mommy. Love mommy a chance to be a good in-law for you.”

Alana took a breath. If she doesn't accept Caterine's apology, Sechil will definitely misunderstand. What else saw Sechil's gaze that looked so very happy. Perhaps Sechil considers what Caterine did by apologizing to be sincerely true from her deepest heart.

Alana closed her eyes then nodded. Maybe it's better if Alana follows Caterine's game now so she doesn't look bad in front of Sechil and Ramon and her mother. For Rayan, Alana is sure the man already knows all about her.

“Thanks Alana.. Mommy's so lucky to have you as mommy's daughter-in-law.. You are a good woman and wife.” Caterine's smile felt deeply moved.

Alana smiled faintly.

“Mommy over-exaggerated praise me.”

Rayan who saw that felt even more confused. Caterine looks very sincere apologizing to Alana. But Rayan could not believe it just because before Caterine had also cried even almost kowtowed to him and promised to turn nice to Alana which turned out to be just a mere joke.
