I'm Not a Substitute

Episode 81

Until late at night Rayan could not close both eyes. Rayan was still thinking about Caterine who was willing to act crying and rested on her feet this afternoon.

“Why you?” Alana asked in her hoarse voice. The woman woke up because of the hunger that arrived she felt.

Rayan. A look at Rayan's smile carve for Alana who was looking at him with both eyes slightly narrowed. Maybe because of his sleepiness.

“I'm not papa. Just can't sleep. Why are you awake?”

Alana sighed then slowly got up on their bed.

“I'm hungry.” His complaint.

Rayan laughed when she heard it. Pregnant women complain midnight hunger is nothing new. Rayan never faced it. But Rayan knows because Caterine used to wake up in the middle of the night while pregnant Sechil just to eat. Rayan still remembers that.

“Temenin I ate well.” Pinta Alana looked at Rayan expectantly.

Rayan got up from her lying down. The man was wearing his white t-shirt which was draped in bedside utensils and then got out of bed.

“Come..” He held out his hand to Alana.

Alana smile. The woman received a helping hand from Rayan. Slowly Alana got out of bed of course with Rayan who led her.

“What do you want to eat?” Rayan asked as she stepped out of their room with Alana beside her.

“Eemmm.. I want a Nutella chocolate sandwich.” Alana answered with a sweet smile that was engraved on her lips.

Rayan nodded. The food can be made with just plain bread and Nuttela chocolate. Of course without having to bother Rayan to go out in the middle of the night just to buy food.

The two of them got into the elevator that would take them downstairs. And when they reached the bottom floor, they immediately walked towards the kitchen.

“Sechil?”

Rayan and Alana stop stepping when they find Sechil who is busy in the kitchen alone. And Rayan's slightly loud voice calling Sechil's name made Sechil turn to him.

“Kakak.”

Sechil stopped stirring the food he was heating. Sechil also instantly turned off the stove seeing Alana and Rayan standing not far from his place.

Alana who saw it was silent. Sechil's shadow smiled at him this afternoon making Alana sigh. Sechil hates her so much and Caterine does. Alana did not want to be rash by believing just the change arrived Sechil.

Rayan gently pulled Alana's hand to approach Sechil. The man checked what Sechil was warming then looked at Sechil who was bowing his head like a child who was making a mistake.

“Sechil, Are you hungry?” Tanya Rayan.

Sechil nodded slowly. During pregnancy, Sechil often wakes up in the middle of the night due to hunger. And now it's the first time Sechil has indulged in his hunger to get back to sleep.

Rayan glanced at Alana who was just silent beside her. His wife and sister are pregnant now. And because Sechil is pregnant without a husband, Rayan feels her responsibilities are increasing. Not only Alana but Sechil.

“Yes you've been waiting at the table to eat there. Let brother bring you food.” Feeling unbearable Rayan also told Sechil to pass from the kitchen and just wait at the table to eat.

Rayan's words make Alana tickle. Rayan told Sechil to wait at the table and said he would get food for her.

Rayan frowned looking at Alana. Alana's expression looked very unusual now.

“You didn't tell me to wait also at meal table?” Ask Alana again.

Rayan smiled. If only to prepare bread and chocolate Nuttela alone it is not difficult for Rayan.

“You too wait for Alana's table to eat. I'll bring you what you want not until 5 minutes.” Rayan smiled sweetly.

Alana looked resentfully at Rayan then passed from the kitchen. Rayan should have told her to wait for him first, not for Sechil.

“So I can do it myself.” Sechil said very quietly after Alana passed. Sechil felt very unwell towards Alana who was clearly visibly irritated before passing from the kitchen.

“So well with sister.. You just wait at the dinner table.” Rayan orders the plate to prepare the food that has been heated by Sechil.

Sechil sighed softly. He could not refuse if Rayan's older brother had said so softly even with a commanding tone.

“Ya.. Sorry, sister, Sechil ngerepotin brother.” he said slowly then passed following Alana to the dinner table.

Rayan smiled. Rayan feels she has found the other side of a Sechil. The side that though remains spoiled but looks sweet and soft. Irregular and always want his will to be obeyed immediately.

Not waiting long, Rayan followed his wife and sister also spelled meals with 2 different dishes. That is a plate of rice complete with side dishes and vegetables, and another plate is fresh bread with Nutella chocolate setoples desired by Alana.

“Still brother.” Sechil smiled as soon as Rayan placed the food in front of him.

While Alana, the woman continued to pursed her lips was upset because she felt Rayan preferred Sechil rather than him.

“I'm not eating.” He said ketus make Rayan who was applying chocolate to the bread immediately turned to him.

Rayan looked at Alana with both eyes narrowed feeling a little annoyed because Alana looked very unstable now.

Rayan sighed. Although feeling annoyed, but Rayan tried to hold him. Alana's behavior now may have been the effect of her pregnancy.

“Why hem?” Tanya Rayan put the Nuttela chocolate sandwich she just finished making on the plate.

Alana folded her hands under her chest. Seeing Rayan who was so attentive to Sechil made Alana feel very upset maybe even said Alana felt jealous. Moreover, Rayan offered food to Sechil first, not to him. It also makes Alana feel Rayan number her duakan and prioritize Sechil.

“Which is pregnant with her child she is me, not Sechil.” Inner Alana glanced bitterly at Rayan who kept waiting for the answer to her question.

“Alana..” Call Rayan slowly.

Alana took a breath. Unable to hold back her hunger, Alana then took a plate of bread that had not been smeared with chocolate by Rayan. Alana also grabs the Nutella setoples then grabs a piece of fresh bread and greases it herself with chocolate in silence. After finishing smearing the bread with chocolate Alana immediately devoured it without saying anything to Rayan.

Rayan who saw that smiled silently silently. Rayan then took his homemade sandwich which was on the plate in front of Alana then thrust the chocolate sandwich on Alana making Alana glance at her.

“Let me bribe.” Rayan's smile returned Alana's gaze.

Alana was silent for a moment. Not wanting to make Rayan offended Alana also bit a little sandwich that Rayan thrust in front of her.

Sechil who saw it smiled felt funny with the behavior of the two who although romantic but look a little silly according to Sechil.
