I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 138's

The next morning without a second thought Sechil and Ramon immediately packed their goods. They also told Caterine what she decided to do at breakfast.

“Sechil you have the heart to leave mommy?” Caterine asked with glassy eyes looking at Sechil sitting in front of her.

Sechil sighed. It was all his decision with Ramon. Sechil was sure everything would be easy if they went through it all together.

“You are also Ramon, what less here anyway? Eat stay eat. Sleeping in a comfortable place. Less what else?”

Caterine's voice slightly raised when talking to Ramon who was just silent beside Sechil. Ramon is not afraid, Ramon just does not want to put aside his respect for people who are much older than him. What else Caterine is her in-laws.

“Don't blame Ramon mom.. It's my decision.. I asked Ramon to get me out of here.. Not that we don't love mommy. Because we want to live independently. We want to be able to show mommy to sister that we can live together in our own way.”

Ramon closed both eyes. Sechil's overly assertive attitude towards Caterine made Ramon feel a little worried. Ramon wanted to interrupt but Ramon knew it would make Sechil feel disrespected.

“Nak..” With a vibrating voice Caterine grabbed Sechil's hand. The woman clasped Sechil's hand tightly with both watery eyes. His gaze implied such great expectations on Sechil.

“Mommy cannot be alone here. Your sister has left mommy and now you too will leave.. Aren't you guys thinking about mommy? You don't care about mommy?”

Sechil sighed. Sechil also didn't want to be far from the real Caterine. But if he continues to be at home his relationship with Ramon will definitely be unhealthy. Caterine always corners and blames Ramon which sometimes also makes Sechil feel emotion until finally quarreling with Ramon. Caterine also always brings up about food as well as places that she said Ramon could not provide for Sechil.

“Mom.. Precisely because we care about mommy so we do not want to burden mommy with our existence here. We will continue to visit Mommy. I will make time for Mommy. Please understand our situation. We just want to live independently mom. that's it.” Said Sechil trying to give understanding to Caterine.

Caterine cried hearing that. His head shook with the grip of his hand that was getting tighter on Sechil's hand. Caterine is really not willing if Sechil also stay away from her.

“No darling.. Mommy doesn't want to be away from you.. Mommy loves you.” Cry Caterine.

Ramon looked at Caterine who kept crying. Ramon doesn't know what to do now. But Sechil's trust in him makes Ramon still have to be firm with his stance. Ramon is confident he can provide a comfortable place for Sechil as well as the fetus in his womb.

“Excuse me sir.”

The heavy sound of Robin makes Sechil, Ramon, and Caterine look directly at Robin who stands not far from the dining table.

“Barang your goods are already in the car mr.” Robin looked at Ramon.

“Ah yes, thanks for the help Robin.” Ramon's smile with a slow nod of his head.

“Same as sir. Then I'm sorry.”

“Ya, please.”

Robin then passed by with wide steps. The extremely unwilling Caterine further tightened her hand grip on Sechil.

“No Sechil, you can't go. You should stay here with mommy.. Mommy loves you.”

Sechil grimaced with pain from gripping too tightly Caterine's hand. Slowly Sechil released Caterine's handgrip. His decision cannot be disputed. Sechil will follow wherever Ramon takes him away.

“Please don't be like this mom.. We have to go.”

“Sechil but..”

“Mom want mommy kids happy? Then let us go. Let us live our own way.” Sela Sechil while continuing to hug Caterine who was sitting in her chair.

Ramon sighed. The man never had the slightest intention of separating Sechil from Caterine. But Ramon also did not want to refuse Sechil's will. Sechil is also honored to accept it with all the shortcomings that Ramon has, especially in terms of material and economic that is only fitting. Ramon does not want to disappoint Sechil who already trusts him very much.

“Please understand mom.. We have to go.” Lirih Sechil with both eyes closed.

Caterine let out a long sigh then wiped away the tears that had soaked her two thin cheeks.

“Good then. But please allow mommy to accompany us.”

Sechil smiled hearing that and so did Ramon. Sechil was greatly relieved that Caterine finally accepted her decision.

“Of course mom. Mommy can bring your own car? Me and Ramon are going on a bike. While my stuff and Ramon will be brought by Robin later.”

Caterine instantly released Sechil's embrace. The woman stared in disbelief at what her daughter said.

“Sechil you can use your car, or you ride the same car mommy.”

Sechil smiles. Sechil gently wiped the remaining tears on Caterine's cheek.

“I told you mom.. Me and Ramon will live our own way. I will also no longer use the facilities of big brother.. I'm sure Ramon can definitely support me as well as the child in my womb. Mommy should also believe it.”

Caterine turned to look at Ramon who only smiled faintly as Caterine looked at him. Caterine closed for a moment her eyes tried to calm down. Caterine believes Sechil will not be able to survive long with a makeshift life with Ramon. Caterine was sure the old Sechil would get bored and then go back to looking for him.

“Ya already if indeed it has become your decision both of you. Mommy can only wish you both the best. And for you Ramon please take care of mommy's beloved daughter. Fulfill all his needs. Don't make it live with flaws.”

Ramon smile.

“I'll try hard for that mom.” The answer.

After finishing their breakfast, they set off in their own vehicles. Sechil who indeed prefers riding a motorcycle with Ramon looks very happy hugging Ramon's stomach.

While Caterine, the woman was driving her car following Ramon and Sechil from behind with a hateful look. Caterine feels Ramon and Alana are the real culprits in her life. Both of his sons-in-law managed to ruin his plan very smoothly.

Not long after, they arrived at Ramon's rented house. The house is very small. There are only 3 rooms, namely the main room, room, then kitchen.the room is also very stuffy because there is no air conditioning. There was only one medium-sized fan there.

Caterine who saw the state of the rented house immediately commented scathingly but Sechil and Ramon could only shut up and smile. They are determined to live their lives together in their own way.

“We can definitely Ramon. Don't worry about me.” Sechil whispered with a sweet smile to look at Ramon.

Ramon laughed softly then nodded his head in agreement with what Sechil whispered to him.
