I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 162

Rayan gently rubbed the arm of Alana who continued to lean against him. Rayan smiled at Alana who cried because of the misunderstanding earlier. From there Rayan can find out that Alana does not want Rayan to glance at other women besides herself.

Rayan increasingly tightened his deck. After crying sobbing Alana looked limp with both eyelids slightly thick. Rayan could not interpret whether the thick eyelids Alana because it was swollen or indeed sleepy because now Alana was asleep fast in her next door.

The sound of knocking on the door made Rayan turn her head. Rayan can guess who knocked on the door must be aunt or Sari. They must've intended to take her and Alana to dinner together.

“Sayang.” Rayan made a soft and gentle voice trying to wake Alana who might not have eaten yet.

Because there was no response, Rayan finally chose to release her arms to Alana who still closed her eyes peacefully.

“Hh.. Are you this late, baby.” Rayan murmured while gently stroking Alana's forehead getting rid of the child's hair that covered her.

Rayan sighed. Being a woman is not as easy as she thinks, what else if you are pregnant. Maybe even if he becomes Alana, Rayan will not be able to.

The sound of knocking on the door again sounded, making Rayan inevitably get off the bed with a very careful movement. Rayan did not want to disturb the sound sleep of his beloved wife.

When Rayan opened the door of her room, Sari stood there with a smile on her lips.

“Evening is ready, son. Let's eat.” He said he took Rayan.

Rayan smiled. Sari is really a mother figure who may be a dream for all children.

“Eem.. Mom, Alana's sleeping. Looks like he's very exhausted.” Said Rayan telling.

Sari nodded her head. Sechil's arrival was enough to take Alana's break this afternoon. Alana did not even have time to take a nap because Sechil continued to invite her to chat in the garden next to the house.

“Ya already then do not wake up. Let him sleep. You better take a shower first.. Mom wait at dinner table.” Smile Sari with understanding.

Rayan smiled and nodded her head.

“Good ma'am.”

Rayan again closed the door to her room then rushed to clean herself up. Rayan does not want to make Sari wait for him too long at the dinner table.

Finished cleaning himself, Rayan found Alana still fixed in her position facing the bolster that Alana might think was her. Rayan laughed softly, Alana was adorable if she was asleep. Looks pretty too plain.

Rayan came out of her room and went down one by one stairs to the first floor to have dinner with Sari who was waiting at the table to eat.

“Rayan anyone want mom to talk about.”

Rayan stopped chewing the food in her mouth. The man looked at Sari waiting for what her mother-in-law wanted to talk about.

“Alana, she said you guys will move back to the old house.”

Pause for a moment. Sari was silent and seemed to be thinking of a proper word to say to her daughter-in-law.

“Alana invites mom.. But Rayan, I'm very sorry. Mom can't come with you guys to stay home for long.” He looked at Rayan who was still listening.

Rayan smiled. Rayan knows why Sari does not want to come with him and Alana to return to the old house. The main reason was none other than definitely because of Caterine.

“What's mommy bu?” Tanya Rayan.

“Mother does not want to make madam Caterine hate on mom also Alana.”

Rayan sighed. Everything that Rayan had was not the slightest bit of interference from Caterine. Her wealth is the legacy of her daddy which then Rayan developed by relying on her smart brain. While Caterine, she just felt she had it.

“Bu, for me Alana is everything. And the reason I invited my mother to stay here is also to make Alana happy and comfortable living here. I am sure Alana will be happier if she is always close to her mother.. Because Alana's happiness is my happiness too. I'm sure mom also felt what I felt.” Rayan's light on Sari.

Sari sighed. Hard to believe, his former employer became his son-in-law. The cold face that used to always look at her when Sari made a mistake now looks very friendly and respectful to her. All of that, of course, is because of Alana, the daughter of the honey.

“Mom can teach Alana to be so tough and brave, even to mommy. Alana is never to blame if she's right. I am so impressed with Mom.. Mother is the one who can make me believe that Alana will always be safe if there is a mother beside her as long as I am outside. We both love and want the best for Alana bu.”

Rayan was silent for a moment. His gaze was so expectant of Sari who seemed to be starting to worry.

“I beg ma'am.. My mother went with me and Alana to stay at home for a long time.. I want to serve the late daddy by keeping my promise to stay in that house with my wife and my son. Please help me mom.. Help me so I can be a good boy to my daddy.” Rayan again.

Sari felt increasingly shaky with her confidence. Rayan's been so good to him too Alana. Rayan's request was not heavy for her. Just stay together for Alana.

“Nak, please give time for mom to think things through.” Sari said later.

Although feeling disappointed but Rayan tried to appreciate Sari's decision. Rayan nodded her head with a smile that continued to adorn her lips.

“I still hope mom wants to come with me and Alana for the same stay at home the old.” Said.

Sari just smiled. The old woman felt that she had to think everything carefully so that there was no more misunderstanding that made her beloved daughter a victim.

“You look very happy today.”

Sechil stopped chewing the food in his mouth when he heard Ramon say. The woman smiled wider and wider then satted the rice and side dishes on her plate and thrust her at Ramon.

The confused Ramon was silent for a moment before finally taking a bribe from his wife.

“I'm happy today.. Eemm means to start to continue to be happy starting today.” Sechil.

Ramon is confused.

“For all this time you were unhappy with me?” Ramon asked who increasingly did not understand.

Sechil laughed then got up from his chair. Sechil approached Ramon's seat and hugged Ramon's shoulders from behind. The woman also kissed Ramon's cheeks briefly.

“I only know happiness while being with you Ramon. From today onwards, no. I will continue to be happy wherever I am as long as you are the ruler of my heart and vice versa. I'll be happy even if it's just a night like this with you.”

Ramon smiled hearing that. Ramon is grateful that Sechil finally understood it.

“Yah's.. I love you dear.” Anguk Ramon.

“I too. I really need you to always guide me.” Reply to Sechil and kiss once again Ramon's cheek.
