Marriage to a Substitute Bride

Vandal

" Why did you come here again?" asked Arvan flat

" Waw relax bro!" marcel raised both of his hands and smiled

" If you came to talk about Han's work in the room, all of you would've turned it over to Han!" said Arvan who felt Grea's hand grip tightening. Arvan turned towards Grea who seemed to be bowing his head.

" Come on, baby!" invite Arvan who knows Grea's discomfort when meeting with Marcel.

" Is he your new lover or is he not your affair?" marcel asked when he saw the woman next to Arvan and covered her face with a mask a little mocking Arvan

" Get your word Marcel!" Arvan clenched his hands tightly but Grea who felt Arvan's anger immediately tightened his grip.

" We go home now I_" said Grea stopped

" Okay, baby!" Arvan leaves Marcel and understands the uneasiness and discomfort of being near Marcel.

" Van if you've got another woman you'd better give her Grea to me, I'll go after your Grea and make her mine!" shouted Marcel who immediately made Grea step stopped as well as Arvan. fortunately at that time the atmosphere was still quite quiet so only a few were stunned by the words of Marcel who mentioned the name Grea.

Grea twisted her body and released the grip of her coiled hand on Arvan's arm. Grea walked up to Marcel and stood right in front of him while Arvan chose to be quiet on the spot to see what Grea would do to Marcel, if Marcel dared to tease him then he would step in.

"Honorary Mr. Marcel, you are a highly educated man even overseas graduates even you and Mr. Arvan are best friends, but why you as a friend can not appreciate the meaning of friendship itself until you have no shame and guilt in the least to disturb the woman who has become your own best friend's wife. At first I thought you were a good guy, the Caliphate may happen often and give you a chance so we can be friends but after what I heard just now I really have to keep my distance from a man who can't appreciate a woman at all." grea said firmly and then opened the mask.

Marcel was surprised because the one in front of him was Grea's wife Arvan. " Till whenever I'm just Arvandra Pratama Zaindra's wife" Grea puts on her mask back and leaves.

" Grey!" muttered Marcel who was staring at the back of Grea who was walking towards Arvan

" It's interesting, you're great Van can get a wife like Grea makes me want to have one too!" muttered Marcel who was still quite heard in the ear of someone who had been watching the three.

Plakk

Someone slapped Marcel's head from behind.

" You !" annoyed Marcel when he saw who had dared him.

" Don't bother others, has your good looks diminished so that no one else likes you?" the ridicule of the woman who was smiling cynically.

" What a Casanova has now turned into a loser man who wants something that already belongs to people" asked an adult woman who is the same age as Arvan and Marcel with a little mockery.

" Please take care of what you say, you old maid!" the circus Marcel who knew that the woman in front of him right now was the woman he was very familiar with.

" It's better that I become a spinster than I become a destroyer of other people's relationships, at least I still have self-esteem" said the woman who is none other than Caroline's best friend Arvan and also Marcel.

Caroline had just returned from Germany two days ago, she was asked by her parents to take care of a company that was working with the company Pratama Group which is none other than the company owned by her best friend.

Caroline deliberately came to the company because she wanted to congratulate her best friend because she was married.he thought Arvan would not marry because of his cold and rigid attitude towards women.

Caroline was shocked to hear the news of Arvan's marriage when her father Zaindra said that Arvan was married to his best friend's daughter especially now that his wife was pregnant.

Caroline was surprised by the news she heard but in the depths of her heart Caroline felt happy with Arvan's happiness but at once the happiness turned to be upset when she knew the person she had always loved turned out have feelings for the wife of his best friend.

Caroline was Arvan's best friend and Marcel's best friend while studying in America, Caroline used to love Marcel but because of the attitude of Marcel who likes to change partners make Caroline choose to step back and give up pursuing Marcel's love, Marcel, he tried to be ordinary every time he was near Marcel especially when Marcel was adventuring in love.

Marcel who found out that Caroline was putting her heart on him deliberately made her hurt, blatantly Marcel mocked and said that Caroline was not the type of girl he liked. " Do you like me Caroline? don't you have a mirror at home so you dare like me?" the ridiculing and insulting question made Caroline really do not believe that the words came out of the lips of the person as long as she liked. out of heartache for Marcel's statement, Caroline decided to move to Germany. since then they never met again while Arvan who did not know the problems of his two friends was not concerned about the move Caroline who wanted to move to Germany college let alone Caroline reasoned to want to be close to her family who really lives in the country.

" What did you come here for?" ask Marcel

" It's none of your business" Caroline said

" It's none of my business, and I won't bother you as long as you're not my roadblock either!" said Marcel

" I wouldn't be your roadblock if it wasn't the road to household harmony, especially my best friend Arvan and his wife's household" caroline said with great emphasis on each sentence.

" What's the deal with you?"

" Arvan is my best friend and I won't let you ruin his happiness"

" friend? or maybe you've been putting your heart on him all this time who knows after I dumped your feelings you moved your heart to Arvan!" marcel mocked making Caroline look furious and immediately gave a gift on Marcel's cheek.

Plakk

All of Arvan's employees in the lobby were shocked and Marcel did not expect to get a slap from Caroline.

" You!" marcel was furious and wanted to avenge Caroline's treatment

But unfortunately it was not that easy, Caroline who was standing before him at this moment was not a whiny and weak woman like Marcel used to know, she said, Caroline was about to dodge but the burly hand had already blocked Marcel's hand and threw it violently.

" Dear Lord Marcel don't you care to be rude to a woman in a public place like this?" asked a man who was none other than Hanan's secretary

" Han you dare with me?" marcel's eyes glared sharply

" I'm sorry, Mr. Marcel, you better leave now and don't make a fuss here. If you came here to meet with the president of Arvan, I'm sorry, sir, the current president is home" said Hanan's secretary politely.

" Yes I already know!" marcel's Sahut

" You know, but it's still here!' chirps Caroline

" It's none of your business, old lady!" circus Marcel

" Keep your word loser!" caroline doesn't want to lose

" What do you say loser?" Marcel did not accept it

" Yes you are nothing more than a loser man who can't achieve what's supposed to be yours but tries to rob what's already someone else's" Caroline said

" If you dare to harass Arvan and his wife then I will not forgive you Marcel" he threatened

" What are you guys really talking about?" ask Hanan's secretary who is starting to be confused by the situation that happened.

Marcel left Caroline still grunting and cursing her many times while Hanan's secretary frowned at Caroline's curses and curses to Marcel who had walked further and further away.

" Olin what exactly happened instead of you and him it's_?" secretary Hanan's words hang.

Hanan is quite familiar with Caroline because Hanan secretly really likes and admires the figure of a Caroline who is so independent and strong

" Han, don't you talk about that useless human being anymore, and you know what you're about me anyway? you better keep an eye on your boss, especially his wife!" said Caroline

" What do you mean by that Olin?" ask Hanan's secretary who seems confused by Caroline's words

" Don't you already know that loser's after your boss's wife ?" ask Caroline to make sure

" From his actions like that" Hanan's secretary said

" Foolish fool!" maki Caroline made Hanan's secretary scratch her non-itchy nape

"Don't let your guard down, you know what kind of person Marcel isn't?" secretary Hanan nodded in understanding

" So you better tell your boss to be careful with Marcel" Caroline said

" Why are you saying this, aren't you so scornful_" secretary Hanan's remark immediately cut off

" Don't ever talk about it again, you don't know anything about me so don't be pretentious " said Caroline who was embarrassed to hear the question that almost Hanan's secretary served and with a firm step Caroline left Hanan's secretary who was still silently staring.

" He really changed!" hanan's secretary muttered while looking at Caroline's back who was walking further and further away.

Somehow Hanan's secretary who is usually not far from her super cute and cold boss in front of Caroline looks like a fool.

While in the car Grea just quietly throw his gaze towards the window.

" Dear!" call Arvan and grab Grea's hand for a kiss.

Grea turned to Arvan and smiled a little forced.

" Are you still thinking about him?" arvan asked, making Grea raise one eyebrow.

" Him?"

" Marcel" replied Arvan

Grea lowered his gaze when Arvan mentioned the name of his best friend Marcel.

" I didn't expect you to say all that, you're so great, baby. I really feel so happy and proud to have a wife like you!" arvan's words made Grea look up at a glance with a thin smile and then back down.

Grea rubbed his stomach and could not prevent his tears from sliding.

Arvan who saw Grea crying immediately pulled over his car "Dear what's wrong with you, hem? please don't be like this baby. Tell me why?" asked Arvan who was very panicked with the state of Grea who suddenly cried.

" I also do not know why, suddenly the shadow appears again and it feels so stifling chest mas. I can not imagine mas if at that time mas did not come to help me" Grea again sobbed while stroking her stomach which was a little beginning to look.

Arvan removed his seatbelt and brought his face closer to the belly of the grea

" Dear don't remember anymore yes, now there is our baby candidate here" Arvan kissed Grea's stomach gently.

" It's all over and I'm not gonna let that guy touch you again, not even a hair, baby!" said again.

" I will always look after you and will always try to protect you both" Arvan stroked Grea's stomach.

" I'm honestly afraid of his appearance!" grea said to be honest with how she feels right now

" I'm just afraid he's hurting my son mas, I'm so scared!" continued

" Honestly every second I'm also very worried about you and our future children" Arvan said, pulling Grea into his arms.

" But I have always assured myself that I can definitely take care of and protect you both with all my soul and body dear!" arvan said as he rubbed Grea's back gently.

" Why do I feel so weak now? I can't even look after and protect myself properly "grea complained

" Don't talk like that baby, maybe it's all because of your pregnancy hormones" Arvan said

" But mas_!"

" Dear, don't talk like that anymore!" cut off Arvan who doesn't want to make Grea a lot of mind.

Arvan breaks his embrace and looks fixed on the face of the wife full of love.

" Dear, baby, you are not weak but are pregnant so it could be because the pregnancy hormone factor that wants to always be spoiled by your husband makes you feel weak when you were talking to Marcel me at all don't see the weak side of you, baby!" arvan assured his beloved wife

" Is that true?" Arvan nodded then smiled.

" You are the most powerful woman I have ever met, especially the most powerful!" ledek Arvan who finally got a small pinch on his stomach from the wife.

" Aww, sick baby!" whinek Arvan while rubbing his stomach that feels hot.

Arvan put on a pouting face and pretended to sulk and it made Grea more anxious and did not stop laughing at Arvan's behavior that looks ridiculous according to Grea.

Seeing Grea laugh made Arvan feel very happy. " Thank you dear!" said Arvan gave a kiss on Grea's cheek to make Grea jerk and hit Arvan's arm.

" Mas ihhh.." spoiled grim Grea made Arvan chuckle then shifted his seat and put on his seatbelt again.

Arvan turns on her car engine still laughing, Grea also laughs to see her husband who looks happy at this time and forgets his frustration.

Arvan and Grea continue their journey to the apartment with joking and laughter in the car until they arrive at their apartment.
