I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 124

The news of Dion's company that was engulfed in red sijago was immediately widespread even to the corners of the area. The news also directly reached Sari, Alana's mother. Sari who felt sorry to see Dion who was very frustrated could only mumble to pray for the best because after all Dion had made Alana happy despite ending up with injuries.

Sari sighed. Alana hasn't called him in days. And Sari guessed maybe Alana also did not know about the disaster that befell Dion, her former lover.

Sari grabs her phone and tries to contact Alana. One even to several times but still did not get an answer. Sari who did not want to interfere finally decided to stop calling Alana. Maybe Alana is not holding her phone, so thought Sari.

Sari looked back at her TV screen. There Dion seemed to cry in frustration with Agatha who kept trying to strengthen. Agatha hugged and kissed the handsome face of her son trying to convince him that he was always there for Dion. But it seemed that Agatha's presence had no effect at all. Dion continued to cry roaring like a madman. From there Sari can conclude that Dion is a weak man of treasure lovers who only think of happiness for a moment.

“Poor You Dion.. Hope you can accept all of this reality. The treasure is only a deposit from god.” Sari murmured with a slow breath.

Sari thought back to when Alana first introduced Dion to her. At that moment with both cheeks blushing Alana said that Dion was her lover. What makes Sari worried when Rayan married Alana is because Alana had planned a future with Dion. But not long after, Dion came and gave Sari a wedding invitation for a reason that Sari thought was unacceptable to logic. Dion is married to Michelle whom Sari herself also knows Michelle is Alana and Dion's best friend.

Sari smiled. The meeting of Alana and Rayan may be a clue from God so that Alana can live better.

“Alana.. Although you were not born from the mother's womb but you are the biological child of your father.. The man that my mother loved. You are the greatest trust from God and your late father to mother.. I'll keep making sure you're happy, son.. I love you.”

“What's the mistress don't know about mr Dion?” Alana frowned when she heard Fina's question. Alana doesn't know how to know about Dion.

“What's the news?” Alana asked confused.

“Company building mr. Dion fire mistress. And the news says that the culprit is none other than the guard of workers in your own company.” Replied Fina who had already watched the hot news on TV.

Alana nodded her head. Whatever happened to Dion is no longer his business now. But hearing the news of the fire, Alana was very sorry. Not to Dion, but to the employees who had to lose their jobs because it was certain that Dion must be bankrupt.

“Tuan Rayan must have known madam. Didn't you tell madam?” Fina asked back.

Alana shook her head with a smile on her lips.

“I don't want to know anything about him Fina. That's no longer my business.” Alana looked at Fina who was beside her.

Fina nodded. Dion is no one to Alana or Rayan. The man is actually an enemy for both of them because they have a bad plan on their relationship for a long time with Caterine.

“Maybe it was a reprimand from god madam because lord Dion was too evil all this time.”

Alana laughed when she heard it. The woman then grabbed the bottle of drink Fina had brought for her. Alana drank a little and then closed the bottle again.

“Have let it go. It doesn't matter either. Better get home now. I've been puffed up once want to take a shower.”

“All right..” Nod Fina then followed Alana who got up from her seat in the garden seat.

Both are almost every morning walking around the complex. Fina always faithfully accompanied Alana who was diligent in getting up early to help prepare breakfast and then light exercise with a slow walk around the complex.

“Mother..” Alana muttered when she found many missed calls from her mother Sari. What makes Alana confused is that Sari did not send a message to her at all.

“What's up?”

Feeling worried Alana called Sari back. A one-time call gets an answer from his beloved mother.

“Halo ma'am.. What's mom again? Mom's okay, right?”

Sari laughed across the phone at Alana's question. Sari knows Alana must be worried about her.

“Mother just cleaned the same garden as mbak. I'm fine, honey. What are you again?”

Alana grabbed a piece of mango that had been prepared by aunt.

“I'm sitting in the park enjoying the fruit of the mother.. Mommy called up so many times what was it?”

Silent. Sari was silent for a moment. The intention of the call was to tell about the calamity that befell Dion. But after Sari rethink Alana know or not it is no longer important. Whatever happened to Dion is no longer Alana's business.

“Nothing what son. I just feel like I miss you so much. I was even planning to come to Rayan.”

Alana swallowed the fruit she had already chewed. Rayan and Alana did not have time to tell about the move to Sari.

“Eem.. Ma'am, me and Rayan are no longer living in the old house. We've moved to a new home.”

“Oh yes? When's son? why not tell mom first? though mom can help if you guys need help.”

Alana smile.

“No need help mom.. Later I will ask Rayan to pick up mom.”

“Alright then. Always take care of your health, son. Don't be so slovenly. Call me if Rayan wants to pick me up. I'll make a special gift for you.”

Alana smiled broadly at hearing that.

“Make the super spicy ya bu sambalnya. Yes, my mother always takes care of her health. Alana darling mother.”

Alana stopped her phone after that. The woman smiled happily at him. If his late father's first wife wasn't Sari maybe Alana wouldn't have gotten such a big, sincere affection. Alana also probably won't live happily and abundantly in love. Alana had known since childhood that Sari was not her real mother. That's of course because Sari told me. But Sari also says that Sari loves her like Sari loves her own biological child. Alana feels very lucky to have Sari in her life. The woman who though did not give birth to him but loved him very much. Sari was willing to slam bones bathed in sweat to be able to support and educate him.

“God...protect servant mother. Always happy and happy for him.. Servant loves god's mother very much.”
