Love of a Substitute

Just paid

"Bang Dev?"

"Why are you careless? Look at your translucent clothes aren't you ashamed?" said the man while putting on a coat that I believe belongs to him. A long coat can cover my body up to my knees.

I looked at his face up close, he did not take off my shoulder even though the coat had been attached, my chest suddenly thumped quickly. It feels so strange. I followed his steps as if to lead me to the car.

"Yes God..... This man is my husband." I was quite difficult to breathe by Bang Dev's attitude like this, it turns out that he cares for me even I was flabbergasted when he opened the car door for me.

"I'm sorry Bang Dev, I just don't want you to wait long." I said after we were in the car, I saw her clothes were wet too.

"You should have waited for the rain to subside a little."

"I'm sorry.... I'm just afraid you'd leave me here alone if I'd been a long time."

"What kind of stupid thought is that? There's no way I'm leaving you Kayla, I'm not as bad as you think."

"I'm sorry Bang Dev."

I glanced at his smiling face, the man refocused on driving. I tighten the coat I'm wearing, I just feel cold right now and I need warmth, ha ha ha I'm just kidding.

One hand I put on my chest, still tight as before. I lyrics again Bang Dev whose face looks only on the left side, his thin side really bothers my eyes are still innocent.

I quickly turned outside the car window while breathing deeply repeatedly.

"Oh no, if it goes on like this I can fall in love with this guy. How will we stay one roof what is my faith in seeing such a handsome man every day? I'm sorry Nika." My murmurs remembered the face of my best friend who still had no news of his escape.

I read my husband's face again, he's handsome and perfect. "If he belonged to no one." Ah tell me what I am, she loves Nika. Okay..... Kayla's focus, remember the money, just drain the money before the contract expires, don't think you want to have one that isn't yours.

Such words seemed to be a mirror to my intention at this marriage, nothing more than a contract according to the agreement with his mother Bang Dev.

*****

I stretched my body and stretched out my arms, yawned small while opening my eyes slowly, comfortable once I never even slept this comfortable.

The padded mattress that was the largest in size, was very much different from the mattress I slept on when I was home, this really made me a good dream last night.

Oh yeah, about last night when I got to the apartment I didn't even expect that Bang Dev lived in an apartment that wasn't as big as in my big, fancy shadow.

This apartment is not so small but enough to accommodate two people, the room is only one bathroom only one.

I mistakenly thought all rich people would choose to live a luxurious life and live in a luxurious place as well, but not Bang Devano my husband, he chose to live in a simple place like this even though the facilities were sufficient.

I got out of bed, looked around and there was no sign of Bang Dev here so from him I went straight to the bathroom.

Still with a sleeping face I intend to undress about to take a bath, but when I hold my face facing the mirror my eyes widened.

"Aaaaaaaahhh."

"I'm not a ghost."

"Bang Dev, why are you there? Oh, my God." I was really surprised when I saw his face that only wore a towel from the mirror, I was grateful I had not had time to undress if I did not die I would be embarrassed all my life, I turned my body to face him.

"You should have knocked on the door before you came in" said Bang Dev. Makes me squeak, my chest beats fast again.

"The key is broken, it has not been repaired so next time tap first just entered," said the man while whispering that was very close to me, even his two hands locked my body pressed against the wall.

I smelled the scent of soap that burst from his bare-chested body, really giving me goosebumps when our bodies were very close.

I closed my eyes with a heartbeat that was getting worse.

"Why? Are you afraid of me? Let's open your eyes, don't be ashamed aren't we husband and wife" whispered Bang Dev teasing me.

"Bang Dev don't be like this, I'm me...."

I bit my lower lip hard, I suddenly heard the man chuckle and his hand rubbed my hair.

"What do you think Kayla is? I'm just kidding." Back I heard Bang Dev's crisp laughter, I opened my eyes to see Bang Dev move away and immediately pass from before me.

I closed the bathroom door quickly, I put my body back there.

"Huh huuh huh, my heart almost came out." I took a deep breath repeatedly.

"What is this, he's really flirting. Stupidly Nika betrayed a perfect man like bang Dev, I could only be tempted with just a joke, what if that one was serious I could go crazy." I just kept muttering alone.

I was getting ready to go to college after calling my mom a few minutes ago.

I went out of the room and was surprised when I saw Bang Dev was still there, the man was reading the newspaper on the sofa.

"Bang Dev, you haven't left yet?"

"No, why did women take so long to get ready? I'm waiting for you."

"What?"

I was shocked dong, for what reason Bang Dev was waiting for me if we were going to leave together, the question just popped into my mind. I don't know why I feel so happy if it is, but my daydreams are crumbling when Bang Dev explains.

"It's money for your fare, I'm sorry Kayla... We can't go together, as I said yesterday no one should know that we're married now. People thought my wife was Nikayla, until I found her and found out why she left me when we ended this contract that my mother made, but it hasn't been a year."

"Did Bang Dev not believe that she was pregnant and ran away with another man?"

"Don't talk about that ridiculous thing again, I understand my lover more than anyone. I wouldn't believe it if he hadn't told me himself that it was true and he was betraying me."

"Ah why are we so serious talk, calm down I am not angry with you," Bang Dev chuckled.

I was silent, Bang Dev stood up to me he was giving me a lot of money, I just accepted without saying anything but nodding.

"You use this money for your personal and college needs, if you can ask again, don't hesitate okay.... You're Nikayla's friend that means you're also my friend, you can go by public transport or taxi online."

I swallowed, then nodded again.

"I go first, you be careful" said Bang Dev wiping my arm.

I saw the man drifting away slowly disappearing behind the door, I held back my strange chest and looked at the money in my hand.

"What am I expecting besides this money? Okay fine.... I'll save as much as I can, how know Bang Dev's true marriage is not up to a year, I have to be rich before that." I held the money tightly and laughed alone but somehow it felt bland. So tasteless.
