Not a Substitute

C3 Pray for the Best

Emi arrives at Violet's apartment. He looks so awkward.

“Emi, welcome to our family. Familiarize. I'm Violet, Steven's brother-in-law. This is Mas Agus, Steven's brother.” Violet introduced herself.

Emi looks confused. Steven and Agus are not very similar. Agus's body was small and petite while Steven's tall and contained.

“You're confused, yes. I used to be confused too. They are one father to another mother. Steven's mother is American,” explained Violet.

“But don't use English to Steven. He does not speak English.” Agus joking.

“Yang also can not speak English.” Steven defended himself.

Violet took Emi's hand and took her to the guest room. Violet walked slowly because she was pregnant and waiting for her delivery. “Sorry, yes my path is slow.”

“No pa pa, Brother.”

They arrived at the guest room. “In the meantime you stay with us. Did you bring a change of clothes?”

“No. Sis Steven immediately drove me here.” Emi until now still can not digest what happened. One by one things happened so quickly in these few hours. From her lover's affair to the reporter then the wedding.

“You're wearing my shirt. Looks like our size is the same. Size before I get pregnant means.” Violet headed to her wardrobe. The clothes before she was pregnant she had stored because her body size was somewhat swollen during pregnancy.

“Bring this and this to your room. If anyone says less.” Violet gave her clothes.

“Thank you, Brother.”

Meanwhile in another room. Agus interrogated his sister. He feels betrayed. He did not know about Emi when they lived next door.

“What does this mean?”

“Kak, I have nothing to do with Emi. Really am. Oath.”

“Your oath cannot be trusted.” Agus doesn't want to be lied to by Steven anymore.

“I just helped clean up Emi's mascara. That's it, brother. It's up to you to believe it or not.”

“Good. I trust. And what about the wedding. You agreed? Emi agree?”

“I don't know with Emi. But I had to marry Emi. Otherwise, I won't get father's treasure.”

Violet ordered food for the four of them. Emi still looks shy.

“Eat a lot. Don't shy. If less we can order again or ask Mas Agus cook.” Violet put the side dish on Emi's plate.

After eating, they went into their rooms. Steven went back to his apartment.

In bed.

Violet stuck out her leg. His stomach is so big.

“Jingo, this is Papa.” Augustus caressed Violet's large belly. The orange that is still in the stomach kicks in. “Till know, yes Papa is here.”

“Do you agree with Steven's marriage? I feel something is strange. Steven must have told us if he has a crush on girls or is dating. But this is suddenly getting married. Two more days.”

“This is because of Dad's threat. Steven is afraid of losing his legacy.” Agus told me the truth. “Think Steven's story resembles ours, too. Meet directly married.”

“Betul also. Why was Mas in my wedding hall?”

“I used to be that stuff. No idea has come up. I go to the show so I can get free food. Uh even got a wife bonus.”

Violet and Agus could only smile reminiscing about the past.

“May Steven be Emi.”'s soul mate They prayed their best for Steven.
