Not the Substitute Bride

Chapter 06's

Whether where Shaka's heart lies, although he never loved Maheera at least this man appreciated Maheera as his rightful wife in the eyes of religion because until now Shaka did not want to marry legally by country.

Always come to the restaurant with the same woman, be friendly in front of his wife. In fact, Shaka just wants to be served by Maheera.

"Darling, what do you want to eat?" Shaka asked so gently to Elina.

Elina herself was a friend during college even she and Kinara were friends even though not too close.

"I want to eat rib soup, it looks good." Answer Elina.

"Hi, did you hear?"

"Yes, I heard!" Maheera replied firmly.

Shaka smiled slanted, other than the family no one knows Shaka and Maheera's relationship.

Accustomed to the wound, Maheera already considered Shaka's treatment to be ordinary now even though his heart was so sore.

To this day, Maheera has never met her parents. The last time he went home, Maheera was kicked out and even beaten by his mother.

"When are you going to marry me, Shaka?" Elina asked urgently.

"When there's time." Shaka answered with ease.

"Kinara's been dead for two months, it's enough for you to forget her." Elina's speech actually made Shaka growled. But, for the sake of making Maheera tormented, this man had to put up with Elina. "Both of my parents urged that you marry me immediately."

"We've just been dating, why the rush?"

Elina snorted in annoyance, what Shaka said was true as well.

"Oh, then I'll propose to you this weekend." Shaka said as Maheera came to bring food.

Almost the hot soup spilled over Maheera's hand when she was shocked to hear Shaka was going to propose to the woman next to her.

"really?" Elina cheered happily. "Shaka, I want a fancy engagement party." Pinta Elina makes Shaka hold back his patience.

"Please eat," Maheera said in a soft voice and Maheera rushed to the back.

In the chest squeeze that feels tight but cannot be expressed. Which heart does not hurt when the husband says he wants to propose to another woman in front of a wife.

The hour hand had entered at half-five in the afternoon, with Maheera's tired steps walking towards the bus stop because the distance of Shaka's house to the restaurant was quite far.

"What you heard in the restaurant, I'm serious." Said Shaka stopping Maheera who wanted to enter the room.

"So seriously I can't do anything." Sahut Maheera's. "We just married Siri to just carry out the mandate of sister Nara. If you want to get married again, what can I do? We don't love each other!"

"It's good if you understand. I think an uneducated person like you can't think."

Maheera took a deep breath, her chest was so tight.

"I never forbid you to get married. Your love is only for sister Nara, if you have found a new heart choice, I am happy. Let our relationship be a secret between families. In fact, I'm ready if you want to drop your talaq on me!"

"Other than me, no man will marry you." Shaka said sneering.

"And I'll never marry anything else in love. Suffice the first wound to make me realize that happiness doesn't have to be both." Sahut Maheera who does not want to lose.

"Until any time will never be happy, Maheera." Said Shaka who hated Maheera so much.

Maheera opened the door, she entered into a room that was not how big. In the chest compressions that hurt so much, Maheera tried to toughen up for what is happening now.

As for Shaka, this man was still dumbstruck staring at the door of the room. Wailing cries rang through his ear wall. Not wanting his heart to melt, Shaka decided to leave from there.

The next day, Banu, who has not seen his son, tries to meet Maheera without Diana's knowledge. Sitting in the garden together, this father and son were like strangers. Unintentionally, Shaka saw Maheera and Pak Banu sitting in the park, this man immediately got off the car out of curiosity.

"You're so skinny, Maheera." Said Mr. Banu pilu.

"From a long time ago I was thin" Maheera replied.

"You still working, son?" Ask Mr. Banu.

"I'm still working!" Maheera answered.

"Did Shaka treat you well?"

"Mas Shaka always treated me well, reward." Maheera replied lying.

"If he treats you well, why are you still working?"

Maheera sighed softly then forced her smile.

"Mas Shaka has banned Maheera from working. But Maheera herself wanted to. Maheera pamit ya pah."

"Take this money for you, Maheera. Buy good food, my body is very thin. Forgive me for being powerless against your mama."

"It's a reward, I'm used to it like this. Just save the money, later if you know papah and mamah quarrel again."

Maheera kisses Mr. Banu's hand and then leaves. Shaka who had been eavesdropping since then could only be silent behind a large tree.

Working as usual, since marriage Maheera prefers to stay away from her friends.

"I heard that our restaurant was chosen to host guests at the engagement of one of these restaurant subscriptions." Said one of the employees make Maheera immediately turned to his friend.

"Ah, yes. It is good to get additional bonuses. Rich people's events, usually very royal." Connect Lasmi, the other employee.

Maheera just quietly eavesdropped, meaning she would be a waitress at her husband's engagement party.

"What other hurt did you give me, God?" Inner Maheera screamed.

As much as possible Maheera held back tears so as not to fall. I don't know why fate is so cruel don't let itself feel happy.

Elsewhere, Shaka is currently busy escorting Elin who chose the ring for their engagement. Unmitigated, Elin chose a ring from a famous brand even the price is quite expensive.

Shaka was upset, as he and Kinara had never asked for anything this expensive.

"Darling, we'll just take this ring." Said Elin with a big smile.

"Only an engagement ring, why did you choose that price?"

"It's only six hundred million, your money's more than that."

"Kinara never asked for anything this expensive. If you want to get engaged to me, choose a reasonable one." Shaka said then this man decided to come out.
