I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 15's

In the morning Alana blinked her eyes when she felt the morning sunlight hit her eyes. Alana groans. Drowsiness was still controlling it but the glare light was bothering him.

“I'm still sleepy.” He said as he lifted the blanket covering his entire body to the tip of the head.

Rayan in the opener hordeng clucked. The man was astonished because since he married her even though Alana never woke up before him.

“How can I be a good and obedient wife if once I never saw you neat in the morning.” Rayan Syndir.

Hearing Rayan's innuendo, Alana's eyes immediately opened perfectly. Drowsiness that makes both eyes feel sticky immediately disappears. Alana lowered back the thick blanket used to protect her eyes from the morning sun.

“You want me to do what?” Alana asked as she got up from her lying down and sat down. His bright brown hair is so messy.

“Hoam...” Alana yawns making Rayan sigh.

“Mandi and beautiful dandan.” Rayan's orders.

Alana was silent for a moment and then laughed.

“Only that?” Alana asked in her laughter.

Rayan clucking. Actually, Alana in the eyes of Rayan is still beautiful. Alana was so natural that Rayan never felt bored looking at her. Even if he could not close his eyes at night Rayan looked at Alana who was sleeping peacefully until she finally slowly closed her eyes unconsciously.

“I give you 15 minutes.”

Alana's laughter instantly died down.

“What? 15 minutes?” Alana did not believe it.

“I count from now.”

Alana is in bed. I wanted to protest but there was no time. Rayan would have been interesting if Alana hadn't listened to him this morning.

“Add 5 minutes!” Alana exclaimed as she walked in and slammed the bathroom door while closing it.

Rayan silently laughed. The man was very amused by Alana's funny behavior. Alana did not protest and fought him as usual. Alana looks so innocent, silly, even adorable.

“20 Minutes?” Rayan seemed to think for a moment.

“No problem.” He said that while twitching his shoulders, he did not care.

Rayan buttoned the white shirt she was wearing. His smile puffed up staring at the reflection of his own face in the mirror. Alana seems to have started to enter into the real life of Rayan.

Rayan sighed. Rayan used to feel she could never fall for anyone again. It was as if he died after Sakura's departure. But now everything is different. Rayan had thought maybe because alana was so similar to Sakura. But once thought again, Alana and Sakura were very different. Maybe their physicality is the same. But their personalities are very different. Sakura makes Rayan feel special. But Alana, she was able to make Rayan feel challenged.

20 Minutes later, Alana came out of the bathroom. Alana laughs at Rayan who cheers because Alana is not wearing a towel, but wearing a dirty black Rayan shirt and Rayan sampir in the bathroom.

“I forgot to bring the towel earlier.” Said.

Rayan. His black shirt was in stark contrast to Alana's pure white skin. And the appearance of Alana this time managed to make something in Rayan rise.

“Why not shampooing?” Rayan asked as he stepped towards the nightstand to pick up his phone. Rayan reluctantly looked at Alana who continued to stand up with an inviting look.

“I'm afraid of making you wait too long if shampooing.”

Rayan just nodded. A 20-minute shower for a woman may feel like an instant. Rayan knows that.

“Wait for what else? Let's change your clothes.”.

Alana sighed softly. Yesterday Rayan was very sweet to her. But now, inexplicably Rayan became cold to him.

“I don't want.”

Rayan who started tying the tie on the collar of her bone white shirt frowned. Rayan looked back at Alana who was looking at her heartily.

“Why?” Confused ask.

Alana stepped slowly at Rayan who was standing by the side of their king zise bed. Alana sighed softly looking up at Rayan who was so high towering in front of her.

“You asked me to obey. But you yourself suddenly act cold to me.” Said.

Rayan swallowed his saliva. Rayan was not intentionally acting like that. Rayan just doesn't want to look stupid and like a love slave in Alana's eyes. That would be so embarrassing.

“Rayan..” Call Alana grabbing the tie that has not been perfectly attached to Rayan's shirt collar then start tying it slowly.

“We are husband and wife, right? We should be compact, not even spaced.”

Rayan raised next to her eyebrows. In his mind Rayan asked if Alana was asking to be noticed indirectly.

Alana took a breath.

“Maybe you don't love me. But.. Is it no longer possible?”

Rayan did not know what to answer. Alana, she's so good at talking.

“What's finished?” Tanya Rayan makes a sad look back on the beautiful face and cute Alana.

“Not yet. There's still a lot I want to say.” Honest answer.

Rayan was silent again. Rayan will not be able to answer Alana's questions or reply to Alana's words. Rayan did not want to mispronounce and embarrass herself.

“But it's noon. I have to go to the office.”

Alana clucked slowly. Rayan suddenly became a stiff person.

“I prefer Rayan who was yesterday not who is now.”

“Hem?”

“Already. I'm changing clothes.”

Alana was about to pass as Rayan grabbed and hugged her waist affectionately.

“Let me time and please wait patiently.”

Alana looked down at the pair of large arms of Rayan that were coiled in her queen's stomach.

“I can be patient but.. How about your sayings about it.”

Rayan silently smiled. Alana is not stupid. Alana refuses to do anything without pay.

“I just want to repay my heartache. That's it.” Further.

Rayan slowly turned Alana's body to face her again. Slowly Rayan brought his face closer to Alana who was just silent like a statue with an innocent look.

“Do as you please. But don't act without my knowledge.” Rayan whispered right in front of Alana's face.

Alana's smile instantly expanded. Enthusiastically, Alana nodded her head.

“Forwardly I will rely heavily on you.” Sumringah's smile.

“Oh yes?”

Alana nodded again answering.

“Then do well. Be a strong woman who is not easily underestimated by others. Your Marg Gilbert now.” Said Rayan looking at Alana seriously.

Again, Alana nodded her head.

“I change clothes first.”

When Alana was about to take off Rayan's hand from her waist Rayan shook her head making Alana ask.

“Why?” Alana asked confused.

Rayan smiled faintly then turned her head to the right side to bring her cheek closer to Alana.

“What?” Alana asked again.

“Kiss me.” Said Rayan slowly.

Alana smiled shyly embarrassedly then immediately dyed a glance at Rayan's tapered cheeks. After giving a brief kiss Alana ran to the bathroom and closed the door avoiding Rayan's gaze without caring about the clothes she was going to wear.

Rayan smiled as she touched her cheek that was kissed by Alana earlier.

“Just a kiss on the cheek, but why so thrilling?” Batin Rayan's.
