Not the Substitute Bride

Chapter 21's

"Oh, this is the woman who had made Gusti unwilling to get close to me" said a woman who was peeking out of the window of her car.

Yes, the woman named Heni, Gusti's college friend who had long pursued Gusti, but never responded.

After waiting for a while, Gusti finally left as well. Heni rushed out of his car and approached Maheera.

"Sorry, who's looking?" Maheera asked when she saw a woman approaching her.

"I just wanted to warn you to stay away from Gusti. He's my future husband" Heni warned with a lie.

"Me and Gusti didn't have any relationship, we were just friends." Answer Maheera.

"Basasas women itch!" Heni who was angry at Maheera. "Stay away from him, beware that you still dare to approach my future husband!" He warned and then just left.

Maheera was very confused, just Gusti expressed his feelings and now there was a woman who came to warn him.

The next day, in Shaka's workroom, this man as usual often comes a guest who is none other than Elina, a former fiancee two years ago.

Until now, Elina still likes to hold Shaka accountable because this man has been playing tricks on her.

"You're married, Elina. When are you gonna bother me, huh?"

"I've told you many times that I'm going to be a bitch in your life" replied Elina and folded her arms around her chest.

"Go, I don't want to argue with you. I'm tired of fighting with your husband every time." Said Shaka who was still focused on his work.

"I've never loved my husband" Elina said.

"Because you only love money, is that true?" Accuse Shaka of keeping Elina quiet. "The woman I want isn't you, she's back and we've been together despite the distance." Imbuh Shaka tells Elina to be conscious and not to chase.

"Until any time you'll never be happy, Shaka. You've been playing with my life." Elina's heart still hurts from Shaka's actions.

This woman just left, because Shaka did not want to look at her at all.

Shaka let out a slow breath, this man leaned back in his great chair while recalling Maheera. The current Maheera was no longer the same as her last year who was very obedient.

Because the current Maheera turned more beautiful and her attitude also all turned cold. His mind started to get messed up, in the end Shaka decided to go home.

"Saka...!" Call Ms. Nesti who can't stand Shaka's position anymore.

"A what, mah? Ask Shaka.

"Sit down, you want to talk!" Declared.

Shaka was sitting in the family room, only alone with the mama because Pak Angga was still busy with his work.

"Your life is thirty years, some months thirty-one years. It's time for you to get married, how long are you gonna live like this?"

Shaka just kept quiet, the mama's talk this time was very serious.

"What else do you expect from Maheera, your two-year wait has only ended in vain."

"Maheera is still very angry at me, mah. If you knew how painful it was to be Maheera, I treated her very cruelly. Cruel, not that I hit his physique, but I hit his heart." Shaka's words made Mrs Hesti speechless. "There's still time for me to mend my relationship with Maheera, not Kinara's excuse, but since where Maheera left me, I've fallen in love with Maheera." Tutut Shaka long.

"Mama just wants you to be happy, Shaka. Is that wrong?"

"Mamah is not wrong, it's just that my steps now cling to regret. Mah, the heart that I hit is still crumbling dim even though it's been two years." Shaka replied once again making the mama silent.

"Because physical injuries can still be treated even though there are still a few scars. But, if the heart is sick, then it hurts all, soul, body, mind and everything. Mah, Shaka's right. Don't force me to marry again." Connect Mr. Angga who turned out to have gone home and eavesdropped.

"Maheera won't be with you anymore, Shaka. If you say hurt, it takes a long time to treat." Said Mrs Hesti.

"Twenty more years he tormented his inner self, his, that long wound won't heal in two years unless Maheera has a big heart to forgive her parents and you're adding to her." Continue Angga sir who is trying to remind Shaka.

"Give me a year to fight for what I have to fight for, reward, mah. If all does not work, then I am willing to marry with the choice of mamah and papah." Shaka said, without waiting for answers from his parents this man went to his room.

Somehow the universe is playing tricks on love, some are busy healing wounds, on the other hand there is a heart that is struggling to close the wound.

"You did approve of me meeting Maheera, but you didn't approve of us being together, Kinara." Said Shaka who was feeling sad now. "You've been happy with your new world, Kinara. I'm still busy fighting for a heart."

Shaka settles down on the sofa in the corner of his room, re-imagining what he's been through all this time.

Meanwhile, Mr. Banu currently felt tightness in his chest. Mr. Banu stepped limped out of the room to call his house assistant.

"Mother why?" Ask mbak Moni.

"Sir, please take me to the hospital now." Pinta mr. Banu.

Moni's panicked mother immediately shouted to her husband named Mr. Saiful. The husband and wife took their employer to the hospital. Confused to contact whom, because for two years they worked in this house Mr. Banu only lived alone.

"Mbak, please call Shaka. Tell me I'm in the hospital." Pinta sir Banu while enduring the pain in his chest.

Moni's mother also took the phone of Mr. Banu, this forty-year-old woman directly contacted Shaka.

Shaka who got the news immediately moved from the bed, this man rushed away.

"Shaka, where are you going in such a hurry?" Ask the curious Ms. Hesti.

"Pak Banu is in the hospital, mah." Shaka replied then without saying much this man immediately left because he felt worried about Mr. Banu.

Once in the hospital, Shaka immediately chased into the ER room, where there were still Moni and Saiful sir.

"Pak Banu why, mbak?" Shaka asked in panic.

"Looks like my dad's heart, mas." Moni's reply made Shaka even more worried.
