I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 57's

While on the way to the restaurant that Rayan went to kept quiet. Rayan was really very surprised by the action of Alana who slapped Sechil. Because of any anger Caterine also Rayan on Sechil they never even once committed physical violence like Alana just did a few minutes ago. Caterine and Rayan loved the girl very much.

Not long after they arrived at the restaurant. Ordering the menu then eating without saying what makes Alana feel something is wrong. The woman knew that maybe Rayan objected to what he was doing. But Sechil has insulted even calling it a very low title. Alana couldn't take it.

Alana put down the spoon and fork she was holding. The woman then grabbed a glass of water and drank it a little.

Alana was silent, her gaze was fixed on Rayan who continued to focus on her food. Not like Rayan used to be. Alana could immediately guess why Rayan was acting like that. Rayan must have objected to his act of slapping Sechil.

“You said I can't be weak. I should be able to face mommy as well as your sister.” Alana starting. Alana does not want the residence of Rayan getting late which of course will be a problem including Rayan.

Rayan stopped chewing the food in her mouth. When the word****** that Sechil addressed to Alana said Rayan was also angry actually. Rayan doesn't like anyone insulting hers.

“What do I do by upholding my own self-esteem is Rayan's fault?”

Rayan looked at Alana. The man then sighed softly.

“Continue eating Alana. We'll talk about this later.”

“I'm full of silence your attitude Rayan.” Reply Alana quickly.

Rayan swallowed the leftover food that was a little still in her mouth. Rayan did not realize this time that his residence offended the wife.

Rayan took off the cutlery she was holding then grabbed a glass of orange juice and downed it. The man sighed again while putting his empty orange juice glass next to his plate which was still full of food.

A moment Rayan was silent. Rayan tried to think of a way to say something to Alana so that she would no longer offend.

“We live separately Alana. Daddy and Mommy have been divorced since I was in elementary school. I can say I'm a broken home kid. Family's falling apart. Mommy went out of the country with Sechil who was still a child at that time. Me being? I was taken care of by Daddy. Your mother and aunt are people who have also contributed to my life. He prepared all my needs.” Rayan started telling me everything from the beginning. The man felt very confident and believed in Alana.

“When I entered high school Daddy had an accident that took his life. I was almost desperate. But again there was only your aunt and mother beside me. Mommy doesn't know about the incident. Until when I grew up and could lead my own company mommy and Sechil came. I'm so happy to have them as Alana's family. I love them with all their flaws. They are the same. Judes, stubborn, even his attitude is also arrogant.”

Alana listened carefully to Rayan's long speech. Alana tries to be a good listener for her husband.

“You know Alana, mommy and Sechil also behave like that to Sakura first.” Rayan Smile.

Alana was a little surprised. Alana thinks they are angry at her for assuming Alana replaces Sakura beside Rayan.

“But how is it possible?” Ask Alana unconsciously.

“Why is it impossible? They're selfish, Alana. They just want me to pay attention to them.” Answer Rayan calmly.

Alana shook her head. Rayan's prejudice against mommy and her sister is too simple.

“What Sakura never gets angry with mommy and Sechil's attitude?” Alana asked again. This time with great awareness and curiosity.

Rayan was silent for a moment then shook her head slowly.

“Sakura very patient woman.” Said.

Alana held her breath for a moment then exhaled her slowly. Alana did not expect that Sakura also got bad treatment from both of them.

“Are you also just silent when Sechil or mommy you are not nice to Sakura?”

Rayan laughed softly.

“I rarely see it in person Alana. Sakura and I are separated. We are not married, you need to know. They rarely meet. I just saw it through the CCTV. That was when Sakura came home.”

Alana frowned again.

Rayan smiled.

“It was just preparation before we got married first Alana.” Answer Rayan slowly.

Alana looked at Rayan strangely. But then Alana's mind returned to Rayan's silence.

“OK, Then what's with your silence?”

Rayan did not answer. The man lowered his head to play the spoon on the plate in front of him.

“Honestly, I was surprised by your actions Alana. I admit I was angry. But after I thought in silence, maybe Sechil really needs to be taught a lesson.”

Alana nodded in understanding. His actions are quite outrageous.

”It looks like you and mommy are overindulging him.”

Rayan looked again at Alana then nodded.

“Yes.. We always meet everything he wants.”

“Call it.” Hela breath Alana.

“Then are you mad at me now that I slapped your beloved sister?”

Rayan frowning. Alana's tone of question implies dislike.

“Do not overdo Alana. I do love him. He's my only brother. But you are also my full responsibility. I'm not mad. As long as you do it for obvious reasons, there is no need for me to understand. Your pride is also a dead price for me.”

The reply that Rayan mutinied made a smile on Alana's lips expand. The woman then returned to eating her cold food because it had been ignored for too long.

“So he said he was full.” Rayan Syndir.

“Laper again because you smile.” Alana origin.

Rayan laughed with her head shaking. The man was relieved to be able to tell Alana everything. Perhaps Rayan's patience will be very tested with problems that will arise between his wife, mommy, and his sister. His emotions may also go up and down like a roller coaster ride. But Rayan also believes Alana will not do anything without a cause.

After finishing his dinner, Rayan invited Alana home. But Alana refused. Alana asks Rayan to take her to walk around the nearest mall first.

“Alana exactly what do you want to buy? it's late and we've been around the mall more than 1 hour.”

Alana throws her lips at Rayan's question. The woman actually did not want to buy anything. Alana is just lazy if she has to argue again with Sechil or Caterine.

“Heh look, isn't that Mr Rayan? he was with his wife who he said deliberately changed his face in order to be like Sakura, his late lover.”

Alana turned her head quickly to hear the voice of someone not far from her side. There were many women who gathered and whispered whispering while looking at him assessing the value. Alana then turned to Rayan who was beside her left.

“You heard that?” Alana asked Rayan.

Rayan stared at the group of women who immediately waved teasingly at her. It makes Alana tick. The woman dared to tease Rayan in front of her.

“Hey what is it? They teased my husband.” Alana's protest was about to approach but Rayan immediately hugged her waist holding Alana.

“Will I finish later. Don't embarrass me.” Rayan's whisper made Alana cluck.

Rayan then carried Alana and took her by the time made the group of women feel envious and some even bit their fingers.
