Not the Substitute Bride
Chapter 17's
"Back home, son. Come home, don't go again. Papah regrets, forgive papah who can not be fair." Said Mr. Banu with his sobs right inside Gusti's cafe.
Seeing this incident, Gusti inevitably closed his Cafe, letting Maheera solve her personal problems.
"Going home? I don't have a comfortable home to go home to. Let me be like this, happy in my own way." Said Maheera who did not want to see the wrinkled face of his papa.
"The father has been divorced from mamah" said Mr. Banu told.
"He's not my mom!" Maheera refused. "Twenty-four years I've lived, you've kept a secret about who my real mother is. Treating me like a stepson when I'm Papah's own biological son. I'm twenty-six years old, grown up and I have the right to decide my own way of life." Maheera long said.
"Don't be like that, Maheera. Let's go home with papah. You ask for anything papah. You want to continue your education abroad, let's talk to each other." Persuade mr. Banu.
Maheera turned to look at Mr. Banu with teary eyes and asked. "Where is my mama's tomb?"
"Father will tell you if you come home with Papah." Once again, Mr. Banu seduced.
"If you don't want to go home with papah, go home the same?" Shaka seduced.
"We're over, I don't want to be with you. You belong only to sister Nara, until at any time it belongs only to sister Nara." Reject the stubborn Maheera.
Shaka let out a long sigh, how else would he persuade Maheera to go home with him.
"Go home, I don't want to see Papah here. Shaka also went home. I want to see you all!"
Maheera decides to leave, Shaka tries to catch up and Gusti also chases.
In the corner of the room there are Dimas and Maya who still faithfully survive there. Some of the employees were also there eavesdropping on the conversation because they were curious.
"Crazy, Maheera turns out to be the son of a troubled rich man. She could be a waitress at this cafe." Mayan speech that is not unexpected with Maya life.
"That's life, which in fact we see very well turns out to be trying to keep the wound with a laugh." Sahut Dimas's.
Dimas who was close to Maheera alone did not know about his personal life. So good was Maheera keeping her wound until everyone thought she was okay.
Outside the cafe, Gusti keeps Shaka from going after Maheera. Of course this makes Shaka feel upset and emotional.
"Why are you holding me back?" Shaka asked with a cold, unfriendly face.
"Let him alone" Gusti said.
"I'm Maheera's husband, you have no right to forbid me." Shaka's words of course made Gusti surprised even this man took a step back..
"Are you Maheera's husband?" Ask not to believe.
"Yes. We got married two years ago, why? Do you like my wife?" Shaka asked back.
Shaka did not wait for an answer from Gusti, this man also chased Maheera to his contract.
Repeatedly Shaka knocked on the rented door, fortunately this morning the atmosphere was very quiet because everyone went to work. Sayup-sayup Shaka heard the sobbing sound of Maheera crying inside.
"Maheera, open. If you don't open this door, you break this door." Threat Shaka.
There was no answer, but Maheera opened the door. No time Maheera protested, Shaka immediately barged inside.
"What do you want, Mom? Less than content to hurt me?"
"Again, give it a chance." Shaka Pinta.
"But I love you in regret, Maheera. It sounds like a lie in your ear but it is true. Two years waiting for you to come home, two years looking for you everywhere. Go home, yeah. Your place is not here." Once again Shaka seduced.
Maheera did not reply, she just sat hugging her feet crying. Shaka was even more sorry to see Maheera's situation like this. Stay in a small and stuffy rental with no windows.
"Don't talk about trust, we're talking about heart to heart. Loving you and missing you, makes the mas a pain waiting for your return all this time." Shaka.
"What you've been doing to me all this time. Do you think it's appropriate for me to forgive you, especially you?"
Shaka stepped forward, sat down in front of Maheera and grabbed Maheera's hand, but was quickly pushed aside.
"Again, give them a chance to make you happy. If you are unhappy, you will divorce you as you ask." Shaka said giving the choice. Forced, to persuade Maheera to return home.
Maheera did not huddle, he himself was confused about what he wanted to step like now. Outside of Contract, Gusti eavesdropped on Shaka and Maheera's conversation. His heart suddenly broke, it turned out that the woman he had been waiting for had a husband.
"Give me the answer, Maheera." Shaka was impatient.
"Go, meet me in two days and I'll give you an answer." Maheera.
"That's a long time, I don't want to!" Reject Shaka.
"Yes or nothing...?" Threat Maheera.
Shaka let out a rough breath, this man got up from his seat then opened his wallet and took out some money.
"Don't work anymore, buy good food. Two more days are coming!" Shaka said while giving the money to Maheera.
"Bring your money, mas. Didn't you swear not to support me?"
Shaka sat back down, feeling very anxious to feel the stubbornness of this woman.
"This time no, I'll pay you. Take it, otherwise you won't go."
Maheera snorted angrily, in a stroke of tears and then he squeezed the money given by Shaka.
"I've taken it, now go. I want to be alone. Say the same papah, go home."
"You still care about your papah, Maheera." Shaka Sahut.
"That's because I don't want to see him." Answer Maheera. "Go quickly...!"
Maheera pulls Shaka's hand, pushing this man out of his contract. Shaka, inevitably he leaves from there, letting Maheera think.
Geck... Tock....
Maheera had not yet locked the door, someone knocked on the door. With a feeling of annoyance Maheera opened it.
"Go mas... leave...!" Maheera said the wrong person.
Turns out Gusti who came, the two looked at each other full of question marks.
"Can we talk to you for a second, Maheera?" Pinta Gusti's.
Maheera nodded, and they sat under the tree in front of the contract. Chairs circled the trees, the two sat facing each other. Many things Gusti wanted to ask even though he knew if he was disappointed that he would get from all the truth.
