Not the Substitute Bride

Not the Substitute Bride
Chapter 09's



Whether where Maheera's footsteps carried her who had been far away to walk until late at night, this girl did not have a destination.


A lonely road in the dark, tears can no longer come out considering how cruel fate toyed with Maheera's life.


"It hurts.....!!" Maheera screams in the middle of the night so silent.


While Shaka is currently looking for Maheera who knows where she is now. Suddenly, Shaka was afraid of something he did not expect.


Keep driving until Shaka's car stops on a bridge. Highlight the car lights caught a figure he knew was currently standing on the edge of the bridge.


Shaka got out of the car and ran to stop a woman who wanted to jump into the river.


"Let go of me... untie me.....!!"


Yes, that woman is Maheera. This girl was already desperate and preferred to end her life so finished was Maheera's suffering in this so cruel world.


"Take me off....!!" Maheera hit Shaka's body, she herself did not realize if the one who had hugged her tightly at this time was her own husband.


"Are you crazy?" Shaka's thrust with a high tone made Maheera surprised.


"You, what do you want to get in my way, huh?" Maheera snapped back.


"Don't you think all the trouble will be solved if you die" Shaka said.


"Didn't you and them really want my death? Then why are you blocking me?"


Maheera chuckles at Shaka.


"Maheera, I'm sorry." Shaka's words even make Maheera's tears increasingly pour profusely. "Don't die, I'm really sorry.''


" I have to die, Shaka....!" Jerit Maheera's. "I want to replace Nara's brother in the tomb. Don't block me!"


Maheera revolted, this girl ran back to the edge of the bridge, but was quickly hugged tightly by Shaka.


"I want to die, I'll take the place of Nara's sister. Sis, wake up brother. I'll take your place. Let me just die...!!" Maheera's screams broke the silence of the night. The dark bridge no one passes by even just a highlight of the car lights that become lights.


"I'm sorry, Maheera. Don't do that, I really don't know your suffering."


"Take me off, let me die like you asked. I'm useless, I don't deserve to live."


Weakening Maheera's voice, her strength began to weaken what else the girl was still sick.


"Let's go home Maheera!" Take Shaka who is currently still hugging Maheera tightly.


Ssst.....


Maheera pushes Shaka's body until this man topples over.


"Where do you mean, mom?" Maheera asked with her hoarse voice. "I don't have a home to go to, you and my parents are not home to me." Maheera said heartbreakingly.


"Maheera, I'm really sorry. Let's go home now, let's just say it's your house."


"Your words are too stupid, ma'am. How can I consider home for sister Nara as my home? The only home where I go home is myself."


"Ra, don't be like this. Come home with me." Take Shaka soft.


Shaka is fucked up, how could he not think clearly about what he has been doing for the past few months to Maheera.


"You should have let me die by shouldering the karma of both my parents. A useless human like me is not worth living." Maheera said in a soft voice.


"I'm sorry for what I said to you, Maheera. I'm really sorry I hurt your heart even more."


After what happened, it was so easy for Shaka to say sorry. This man was sitting one meter away from Maheera who was still crying lamenting his life.


There is no sound in the darkness of the night other than the sound of the universe that mengayu melancholy gave rhythm to the story of Maheera.


"Re....!!" Shaka tries to grab Maheera's hand, but the girl brushes him off.


"Don't touch me, mas." Maheera said in a hoarse voice.


"We're home, Ra!" Take Shaka to persuade. "You're still sick, you need to rest."


With a face as big as my eyes, Maheera looked at Shaka.


"What do you care about me, ma'am? I've trained sick in everything. Why should you care about me now? Is it because you feel sorry for me? Or do you just want to make fun of me?"


"I realized I was wrong, I'm sorry."


"Please me, mas.I no longer care with the trust of sister Nara. He sleeps quietly while I must endure the suffering after his death."


Shaka shook his head.


"No!" Reject firmly. "I won't cheer you up, I'll keep all my promises to Kinara to make you happy!"


"My injuries are too deep, I'm used to suffering until I forget what it's like to be happy? So, let's end this. Farewell is the best way for both of us, you'll definitely be happy with the woman of your choice, mas."


"I proposed to Elina deliberately to make you jealous and hurt. I'm sorry, Heera. I never loved him, I'm really sorry."


"Your love for the one that's gone so deep that I forget there's a feeling you have to take care of." Maheera said. "I am like a fragile coral that is always in the waves of suffering. You and my parents, same thing, ma'am." Imbuh Maheera to make Shaka speechless.


Once again, just as Shaka was about to grab Maheera's hand, this girl brushed him aside rudely.


"You're just a lump of suffering that adds to my wounds. Your world and my world are very different. Until anytime we will not be together even though we are on behalf of the trust of the deceased. I'm just a human being, man. Can't I be as happy as you?"


Shaka did not budge, his heart grew increasingly painful feeling guilty for what he had done to Maheera so far. Until the early hours of the morning, more precisely at half-two pm, Shaka and Maheera have not moved from there.


"The wind is very strong, Maheer. Come home with me. I'm your husband!"


Haha..... Lirih Maheera laughed, so amused she heard the words MU HUSBAND said by Shaka.


The laughter suddenly disappeared when Maheera's body collapsed unconscious. Shaka quickly carried Maheera, took her in the car and went home.


Arriving at home, Shaka does not lay Maheera in the maid's room, this man instead takes Maheera away to his own room.


Shaka got rid of all the photos of Kinara in his room so that when Maheera woke up this girl did not feel guilty anymore.


"He, he's a victim of the selfishness of his parents. Twenty-four years of life and Maheera only knows now why she is always differentiated in her family. Crazy, Mr. Banu and Miss Diana are crazy." Said the inexhaustible Shaka.
