I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 172

This morning Rayan invites Alana to visit Sechil at her rented house. It just so happens that today is Sunday so Rayan is off to work.

“How about we also invite Sechil to visit mommy?” Alana asked with a sweet smile engraved on her lips. Actually, Alana is also curious and wants to know more clearly about what happened to Caterine last night. Wanted to ask directly but Alana hesitated. Alana is afraid to open the wound that was re-inscribed by Caterine on Rayan's heart.

Rayan smiled and glanced at Alana.

“For now the power is not necessary. Mommy is also less healthy now. Let me go over there later. You and Sechil don't need to come.” Reply Rayan.

“Mommy is not healthy anymore?”

“Yes, mommy is back to hurt herself. I know it's mommy's way of taking our sympathy.” Answer Rayan casually.

“I know this is outrageous. But I think maybe now is the time for mommy to think for herself which is good and not good for her.” Rayan continued to look at Alana who looked at her not understanding.

“What does that mean you will be free mommy?”

Rayan laughed softly.

“Mommy must take responsibility for Alana's actions. What else did the prisoner who used to hurt his family not accept and demand that the punishment mommy be added. I can't defend mommy, right? He was wrong and his actions of hurting others were unjustified. Whatever the reason.”

Alana quiet. Being strict with Caterine is very necessary now. Alana also agreed with what Rayan said because after all what Caterine did was already over the limit. Caterine tried to kill the fetus in the womb Alana which incidentally is her own grandson. Caterine also injured a cellmate who did not know what was just because she was frustrated not being able to get out of the custody.

“But you don't papa, do you?” Alana asked in a very slow voice. Alana was afraid that her husband would again feel the pain that was so painful at her that time.

“Of course. I'm an adult and I'm even going to be a father now Alana. Same with old mommy. He should have known the consequences of everything he did.” Rayan's smile answered calmly.

Alana smiled. Alana is relieved now. Her husband can calmly address every problem done by Caterine, his mommy.

“You don't have to worry now. I can face everything calmly.” Rayan.

Alana sighed then leaned her head on Rayan's boat. Alana gently stroked her large belly using both of her hands. Alana hopes that she can also provide a good example for her children later. Karna Alana does not want if until what Rayan feels is also felt by her son.

“I promise Alana, I will be a good husband and father.”

“Yes.. I believe it was Rayan. Let us equally strive to be the best for our family.” Nod Alana with a sweet smile engraved on her lips.

Rayan turned her head briefly to kiss the top of Alana's head that was leaning on her shoulder. Rayan was sure that whatever happened to him God would continue to maintain his and Alana's relationship.

Not long after that Rayan's car arrived right on the road near the rented Sechil and Ramon. Rayan pulled her car over and got off the car that Alana was following.

“Kakak !!”

Rayan and Alana compactly turned across the road and found Sechil who was trying to cross by carrying a black diplomatic cover.

“Still yes brother.” Sechil's smile on Rayan.

Rayan nodded with a faint smile on her lips. Rayan was actually very surprised to see her sister who was now much different from the old days. Sechil can even live in a three-bed house that is so stuffy and hot. It was true that something even a little Rayan had never expected. And all because of his love for Ramon. Love that is able to make Sechil change for much better even according to Rayan very well.

“Where are you from? Ramon where?” Alana asked Sechil.

“I abis buy kitchen spice sister. From earlier I was waiting for his vegetable brother did not pass through so I just buy the sanity that is at the end there.” Sechil replied with a sweet smile.

Alana smiled at him. Just like Rayan, Alana was also surprised to see Sechil who carries groceries with a large stomach and a green toska home dress that looks so fitting in the body of the contents.

“Ah yes let's go yuk.. Ramon again work brother, because today is Sunday so Ramon enter the morning and later return home after lunch.”

Sechil holding Alana's hand invites her to step towards her simple residence with Ramon. As for Rayan, the man still stood in his place not believing in his sister's life is really far from luxurious now. But amazingly Sechil can so quickly adjust himself to the circumstances. Sechil can be independent and do everything himself.

“Kakak come on!!” Sechil's cry managed to disperse Rayan's reverie. The man in blue shirt smiled and immediately stepped up after his wife and sister.

Sechil invites Rayan and Alana to enter. Sechil also invited the two to sit and serve a warm tea complete with snacks in a medium-sized jar.

“How are you doing Sechil?”

Rayan's question made Sechil laugh. Since taking Sechil away, Rayan has rarely been able to meet with Sechil. All of that because of the busyness of Rayan which always takes up her time.

“What's up? I'm fine, even very good, and probably much better. Brother don't be too busy dong, don't ketapek an also.”

Rayan laughing. Busyness is always the reason. Maybe only one can make Rayan ignore the busyness of Rayan, namely Alana.

“Ordinary sister is busy. Oh yeah, we have plans to move back to the old house. You want to come?”

With a sweet smile engraved on his lips Sechil shook his head.

“I'm just here with Ramon brother. Is not a good wife a wife who wants to follow wherever her husband takes her? I want to be a good wife to Ramon kak.”

Rayan and Alana stared at each other at Sechil's subtle rejection.

“You sure?” Alana asked Sechil to make sure that Sechil did not hesitate in the least.

“Of course. I feel comfortable here. I can do this myself. I can learn a lot too, brother. You two don't have to worry. I'll always be fine.” Sechil replied continuing to maintain his smile.

Once again Alana and Rayan looked at each other then threw smiles at each other. They are increasingly convinced that Ramon is indeed the right man to be the leader of Sechil.
