Not a Substitute

A7 Hugged it Erat

"Hi, Himeka Khumari." said the man in the navy shirt with the cream-colored chinos

Himeka did not immediately return the greeting. He's aghast. The man replied with a smile

sweet who showed her dimples.

"Devano?" Himeka mentioned the name of the man in front of her. He still could not hide his shocked face.

It has been ten years or more he did not know the news.Yes, since the events of that time. Now the man is standing in front of him.

DEVANO POV

My stomach feels hungry. I went out of the room and headed to the hotel restaurant with the intention of ordering food. Arriving at the Resto, I saw someone who was no stranger to me. Someone I've missed so much in the last 10 years.

He's still the same as before. She is beautiful and always looks beautiful. The pink dress she was wearing was very harmonious on her body.

The last news I received, now her status is a widow. Her husband had just died on duty.

I step foot into his desk. He sat with his friend. I want to greet my dear call to him. Meme, that's how I used to call him. But I stopped and I greeted him by mentioning his full name.

"Hi, Himeka Khumari."

He's aghast. Maybe surprised to see me. I'm just smiling.

The Pov Devano end

Devano Abisatya is the ex-girlfriend of Himeka Khumari. But unfortunately their relationship must end, because Devano's parents do not approve of it.

Devano comes from a fairly distinguished and wealthy family. Himeka was a very simple orphan. It is material things and status that makes Devano's parents do not approve of their relationship.

Devano gives up fighting for his love story when his parents threaten to freeze all the facilities he gets from his parents. At that time Himeka also resigned to Devano's decision to decide it.

Intending to forget Himeka, Devano accepted an offer to move to college abroad. But instead of forgetting, he always remembered Himeka. His heart was already attached to Himeka. To this day, he is still single.

Even his heart was broken when he found out Himeka was married to a pilot. Knowing Himeka is happy with his partner, he is also happy. Isn't that sincere love is loving a loved one happily, right?

And when Himeka was already a widow, the universe allowed them to meet again.

It is different with Himeka. When Devano broke off his relationship first, Himeka was all her might to forget his love story. Despite his teasing, Himeka managed to extract Devano's name from his heart and replace it with Danadyaksa's name.

Devano pulls the chair next to Himeka. He sits there.

"Me, I'm so sorry about your husband's passing. May he be husnul khatimah. Aamiins. Be patient, Me." said Devano to condol upon the death of her husband Himeka

"Yes, Dev. Thank you." replied Himeka with a fleeting smile.

"How's your mom doing, Me?" devano asked Himeka's mother.

"He also died 4 years ago" replied Himeka with a straight look

" I'm sorry about your mother's passing, Me."

"Thank you, Dev." replied Himeka while playing a straw on a glass filled with lemon juice that lived half.

"Oh yeah, Dev. This knows me, Kamila Putri. Mila, this knows my friend Devano Abisatya." continued Himeka introduced the two

Mila and Devano shook hands and mentioned each other by name.

For a moment they were also dissolved in small talk. Starting from just a stale base to the topic of the festival that is followed.

Previously Devano made an appointment for tomorrow to meet. But Himeka refused on the grounds that tomorrow he would be busy. Actually that's not the reason Himeka made up. He was really busy preparing for the final event that was to be held the day after tomorrow.

***

Himeka was standing next to the large window of her hotel room. His eyes were straight on the highway. He saw a vehicle that was splitting the road.

The weather in Bandung is quite clear. This morning before the appointment to meet Kamila, Himeka wanted to take Navya to the mall not far from the hotel. He wants to buy Navya a toy and some snacks rather Navya not fussy when left to work preparing for tomorrow's event.

Navya greeted enthusiastically the invitation from her mother. It looks he is ready with a pink shirt with a minnie mouse attached to his body complete with a bando with matching characters to beautify his look.

"Come, Mother, Vya is ready" Navya asked

"Yeah, baby." Himeka held her daughter's small hand and prepared to go to the mall in question.

"Me, is this your son?"

When he got out of the elevator, he passed Devano in front of the elevator.

"Yes, Dev. This is my son." replied Himeka

"Dear Vya, this is Devano. Go, salim!" pinta Himeka to her daughter.

Navya. He stuck out his hand and kissed Devano's.

"Printer child" said Devano as he rubbed Navya's hair

"Where are you going?" ask Devano

"Here, I'm going next door, buy some toys for Navya."

"Yes, let me take it with you." Devano bargained

"Well, aren't you going up, Dev? It's okay to be alone."

"I'll take it, Me. There is something I want to buy too." replied Devano reason

"Yes, that's it already."

They also went together. Devano initiative to carry Navya. But Navya refused. He said that he was grown so he wanted to walk alone. Devano was made even more anxious with the son of his former lover.
