I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 58's

Arriving at the home Rayan directly contact Luky. The man wants to clarify all the untrue issues about Alana that once spread among the community. Rayan has indeed told the news, but in fact there are still people who say something very wrong about his wife.

“Tomorrow luky gather all the reporters. I'll clarify everything.” Said Rayan with an hp attached to her right ear. Rayan can not stand still if his wife became the material of people outside there. What's more they're still linking him to Sakura.

“Good sir. I'll set it up tomorrow.” Answer Luky.

“Thanks Luky.”

“Same as mr.”

Rayan cut off her phone. The man looked at Alana who was asleep on the bed. Alana's a woman who can't be underestimated. Alana is very brave and does not fear anything other than her loss. Rayan leaned her back on the back of the sofa she was sitting on with a straight gaze looking at Alana who was sleeping peacefully on the bed opposite her.

The sound of knocking on the door made Rayan frown. Rayan stared at her cellphone screen checking the clock. It's past 12 but there's still someone knocking on the door.

“Mommy?” Rayan muttered softly. Rayan was sure it was mommy or maybe her sister. Because it's impossible for auntie to knock on the door through midnight. It was very disturbing the break time of Rayan and Alana.

Rayan stepped slowly towards the door and opened it. Sure enough, Caterine stood at the door of her room with both hands folded under her chest. His face was so flat looking at Rayan.

“There are those who want mommy to talk to you about Rayan.” Said.

Rayan nodded slowly. Rayan knows her mommy will definitely talk about Alana's actions to Sechil.

“We're down.”

“OK..”

Rayan closed the door slowly because she did not want to disturb Alana who had fallen asleep very fast. Rayan then slowly followed Caterine who stepped in front of her towards the elevator. The two of them sat in the family room on the 2nd floor of the mansion.

“You've seen what your wife did with Sechil?”

Rayan was silent with both hands folded in front of her chest. The man knows who's wrong.

“Are you not angry Rayan saw your only sister treated like that?”

Caterine continued to ask questions with an angry expression. The woman really did not accept what Alana did to Sechil.

Rayan closed her eyes for a few seconds and then opened them again.

“Mom.. I know how my wife is. I also saw and heard for myself what Sechil said. It's only natural that Alana is angry and doesn't accept being called that?”

Caterine squinted both of her eyes. His head shook in disbelief hearing what his son had said.

“You defended that woman Rayan? You're defending the man who hurt your sister?” Caterine asked increasingly feeling out of control of her emotions.

“I don't defend who mom is. Okay, Alana slapped Sechil wrongly. But isn't Sechil more wrong for disrespecting Alana as his sister-in-law? Sechil even patronized Alana.” Rayan began to careless with the attitude of her mommy who always did everything herself.

“Whatever the reason mommy does not accept Rayan. Mommy alone has never committed physical abuse on Sechil. Anyway mommy wants you to divorce her.”

Rayan laughed hearing that. How could he possibly divorce Alana while being away a little from Alana Rayan felt unable.

“Why laugh? Mommy seriously Rayan. Divorce her.” Demand Caterine.

Rayan sighed then shook her head. Facing his mommy would only be tired of himself. His mommy is very selfish and stubborn. Her mother never listened to anyone else either. Rayan suddenly thought maybe daddy and mommy separated also because of incompatibility attitude.

“Mom.. I can't keep my mommy's will this time. L loved her. And I accept all the flaws.”

Caterine glared in disbelief at hearing that.

“You prefer that woman over mommy Rayan?”

Rayan lowered her head. Rayan is happy with Alana. Somehow the pain in the past suddenly disappeared after Rayan told everything to Alana at dinner last night. Sick because of the destruction of the family due to divorce mommy and daddy in the past.

“You're outrageous Rayan. You do not appreciate mommy as mommy who has given birth to you, breastfed you, also raised you.” Caterine said in a slightly raised tone and pointed hand at Rayan feeling very disappointed because Rayan did not obey her will to divorce Alana.

Rayan raised her head quickly. His gaze instantly turned flat as Caterine said “Grew-nya”.

“Braise me?” Tanya Rayan smiled wryly.

Caterine immediately regained her senses as soon as Rayan asked.

“Sooking may be yes mom.. But raising me, wasn't mommy and daddy divorced after Sechil was born? Mommy left me and daddy. Even mommy doesn't come when daddy dies.”

Caterine fell silent. The woman grumbled not knowing what else to say. Rayan's words are right. Caterine has never been around for Rayan. While still with daddy Rayan, Caterine continues to be busy with her friends. Rayan was taken care of by aunt and Sari who at that time was working as a waiter at the house.

“Did mommy forget when mommy left and I cried because I did not want to separate from mommy? Mommy also forgot when I ran after mommy then fell until my knees were bleeding but mommy just kept going like a deaf person. Mommy forgot all that?” Both of Rayan's eyes were glazed as she said it. Rayan opened her own heart wound in the past.

“Mom.. I love you mom.. I love Sechil. But I can't keep up with everything you want. I have a life of my own. I have a love I want to live. Alana is not Sakura that you guys can squash at will. I used to be quiet. I pretended not to know when you hurt Sakura. But not mom now.. I will protect Alana and defend her to continue to be by my side even until this breath stops.”

Rayan rubbed her tears that involuntarily dripped as she recalled her childhood. Rayan grew up only with her daddy who then left her when Rayan was 16.

“Sorry that I am not a good child according to mommy. I'll rest first. Mommy should also rest, it's night.” Rayan got up from her seat. The man passed by leaving Caterine who could no longer say what.

Caterine clucked slowly. Rayan brings up about her past that anyone would know it was all her fault. Caterine was lulled by another man until she was willing to leave her husband and child for the sake of the man. The man who ended up betraying her and left her with Sechil, her daughter.

“Why should bring up Rayan's past.” Caterine's murmured closed both her eyes in frustration.
