INAYAH (Replacement of Bride)

The real target

"Why Master?" ask Inayah after being near Daru.

"Dry my hair."

Inayah saw first Daru's situation, the man was still wearing his towel and not dressed at all besides the winding of the towel, the man was still wearing his towel, from his hair is not in the water anymore but still looks wet seen from his hair that is still stuck.

"Emmm ... What, use a hairdryer? Or_"

Inayah stared doubtfully at the towel in her hand, if she also had to wear a hairdryer Inayah did not know how to use it and if she had to ask Daru it seemed like she would get into trouble. Inayah even first ever saw and used the object as she was preparing to be danced when getting married yesterday, it was not her who dried her own hair but the makeup artists provided by Karmila.

"Handlet."

'Thank God' Inayah breathed a sigh of relief and intended to approach Daru who was sitting on the lip of the bed to begin his task.

"What do you want to do?!"

Inayah hung her hands in the air along with a towel that almost touched Daru's hair. Before answering Daru's rising question, Inayah pulled her hand first.

'I was told to dry her hair, how the hell!' upset but did not show the look of that frustration.

"I want to dry your hair" said Inayah.

"Are you crazy! You want to dry this precious hair of mine with that scar of yours? Replace it!"

Inayah had to reverse her steps hearing Daru's shrill voice in front of her face. After Daru said, Inayah brought a towel in her hand to finish.

'Harum. Besides, I'm wearing a fragrant shampoo earlier' Inayah does not know knowing knowing knowing, which is important when reading it for hair, then she uses it on her hair like when she bathed Daru earlier.

'This scented Master' wants Inayah to say that. But never mind, just now he had been considered crazy by the bad guy, so it is better that Inayah just obey before the other words come back out for him.

"Good sir."

Inayah walked towards the closet without disputing Daru's command. Inayah wanted to defend herself, but she had no power for any of it. All this Inayah did only for Darsih, if the retreat or reject was no longer valid, Darsih was healed thanks to funds from Karmila. But Inayah wishes Daru would tell her to leave and consider their marriage last night as if it never happened.

"Down breakfast, I don't want to bring a starving man into my room."

Inayah smiled shyly at the sound coming from her stomach as well as Daru's words just now. Before the sound came Inayah just stood in the middle of the room after drying Daru's hair because he was confused how, his legs had even been cramped because of the length of time he stood, Daru did not even tell her to sit down or anything like that and instead got busy with the phone in her hand without feeling sorry for her in the slightest.

"Sorry Sir."

Daru did not reply and only came out of the room in the followed by Inayah behind him. It just so happened that today was Sunday, so Daru did not go to the office to work but he still dressed formally.

"Good morning, sir" said Aaron, who saw Daru coming down the stairs with Inayah, the servants quickly prepared the morning menu and arranged it on the table.

"Congratulations, sir," Ian said hello to see the arrival of Daru who was almost out in the morning.

'He said he didn't live here. But how can it be here on Sunday?' inayah.

"Hmmm," Daru replied to their greeting. Aaron shifted the chair for Daru to sit down and after Daru sat down Aaron again shifted the chair beside Daru.

"Please Madam" he said, allowing Inayah to sit down.

"I?"

Inayah pointed at herself with a confused and questionable face.

"Yes Madam, you. Please," said Aaron agreed and again let Inayah sit down.

"Thank you."

'This is all we're eating?" Inayah glanced unkindly at everyone who was in the room, Inayah's hands even as heavy as a tip spooned food into her mouth when so many eyes and smiles were seen. Inayah glanced at the man beside her who was eating quietly without feeling as disturbed as she was in the slightest.

' Is he used to eating in this kind of atmosphere? It felt like my neck was hard to swallow, but he was even almost done' Inayah looked back at the delicious foods that some of her first saw and wanted to eat all the dishes one by one, but the food in his plate was hard to enter even though his stomach was hungry every time he saw all the servants and Ian and Aaron who were also standing there.

"Come with me," said Daru after getting out of his chair at the follow of Inayah who also stood up when he saw Daru standing up.

"Okay sir," replied Ian who was summoned by Daru. Inayah would also follow their steps as Ian followed Daru's steps.

"Mrs Inayah."

Inayah stopped her steps and turned to Aaron who called out to her.

"Finish your food."

"Oh .. good."

Inayah obeyed and sat back in her chair facing the food plate earlier.

'This is okay, right? Mr. Daru did not prevent me' Inayah was afraid that Daru would get angry if he ate instead when Daru had left.

"The lady doesn't like the dish?" asked Aaron saw Inayah just silent without continuing to eat.Daddy was shocked and turned to Aaron then smiled awkwardly.

"Like Mr. Aaron. All the food is good."

All the food does look delicious and tempting but Inayah who feels bad when eating alone.

"Good Mistress."

Inayah forced the spoon into her mouth and chewed it and swallowed it with great difficulty.

Ian continued to follow Daru's steps along with the map he had in his hand. As the door neared, Ian took a quick step ahead of Daru and opened the door for his Master to enter and was followed by him. Daru occupied the black chair elegantly waiting for Ian to open and relay the information. The pious Ian would begin to speak without opening the sheets.

"His name was Inayah Tuan. 2 years ago Madam came to this city along with her Aunt four days after her mother's death. Mrs Inayah had been in college for four semesters and was forced to stop because she had to find fees for the operation of her aunt who suffered from the disease."

Ian looked at his Master looking calmly listening to his words before going back on.

"Karmila, Miss Dinda's mother, said that Mrs Inayah came to her to borrow her aunt's operating expenses, and Karmila gave her free on the condition that Ms. Inayah should replace Miss Dinda."

Daru seemed to raise his eyebrows as if he was gesturing for Ian, and the man understood the makaud of his Master.

"Karmila was Darsih's employer, Aunt Madame Inayah, before Darsih was ill, so Mrs Inayah thought Karmila could help" Ian said.

"His mother?" ask Daru.

"His mother's name is Dahlia, according to information. Dahlia is the backbone for Mrs Inayah by gardening in their village."

"His father?"

"According to the villagers, Dahlia came with her daughter in the village when Mrs Inayah was a child and without a husband. And also, since going to this city Mrs Inayah always went to XXXX address and always said to meet with her Father but they always said that Madame Inayah was wrong place and there was no father there."

When Ian mentioned the name of Inayah Daru's mother had frowned, and after hearing the explanation about Inayah Daru's father published a smile on his lips.

"It looks like he's a real target. Tell Hendra to face me tomorrow, that old man must be on the bridge with his family."

"They were at the home of his parents, sir," Ian reported.

"Curtain! It turns out he didn't hold her word."
