Preferred Woman

Substitute candidate

On christmas eve. Mariah is with her husband on a walk to find food. Mariah wants to eat soto betawi. Accompanied by her husband who just arrived this afternoon from out of town, Mariah is very excited to invite her husband out to buy soto betawi. However, some of their soto stalls are closed because of their trading. With a frown, Mariah had to be disappointed because the betawi soto she wanted did not get.

"Come, baby! Lots of delicious food menu besides soto betawi right? How about a roast chicken? Or burning ribs? Or a roasted duck? Or Japanese cuisine?" all were called by Mariah's husband. But Mariah was not interested in all that her husband had to offer.

When the two crossed the street, where there was a Christian worship building, they had to turn around because of traffic jams. Many people came out of that service. Maybe they've finished attending Christmas mass that night. But there are some people where the group is walking towards the car park area. Mariah looked at the familiar male figure on her face. His gaze was fixed on the figure of the man who was walking with his family members.

"Do you see what, baby?" ask husband. Marian. Mariah was still trying to remember the face of the man she had seen. But where, Mariah was also still trying to remember him.

"Eh, it's like his close friend Zian. Why is he here? What the hell is he doing? He came out of that church" Mariah murmured.

"Oh, they're done celebrating Christmas Eve, baby! Why do you look so dumb?" ask Mariah's husband.

"No! No really! I'm just surprised, why is he here?" Mariah. All along what he knew from Zian, Sandro was one server with Zian. But what she saw tonight was so shocking to Mariah.

"His name also celebrates holidays according to their religion and belief" said the husband of Mariah.

"Yes, you're right! Oh yes mas, instead of going home with nothing, how about we buy a roasted duck," said Mariah. Mariah's husband smiled at his wife.

"Don't I offer you a roasted duck as well?" mariah's husband.

"Hehehe yes, we buy that only! Than than, yeah?" mariah said she was not to blame. Mariah's husband can only shake her head.

"So turn the direction again to the grilled duck restaurant," said Mariah's husband. Mariah without feeling guilty just chuckled and scratched her non-itchy head.

Arriving at home, Mariah was still thinking about what she had seen earlier. Sandro. Aye! Mariah still thinks about the man because she feels something is wrong in her own self-assertion as well as Zian himself. Though almost every day Zian told about the man with a tone that seemed very interested, sympathy with Sandro. Even Zian told me that his relationship with Sandro was very close. Maybe more than just friends. Although there is no commitment if they are dating. But the two often coffee together or just shop together.

Zian told me that with Sandro this reminded each other of his prayer time and so forth. Even Zian himself considers that Sandro has the same beliefs and beliefs. Mariah is getting intrigued to discuss the matter with Zian.

After eating together with her husband, and Mariah's husband was fast asleep, Mariah wrote a chat message to Zian. And Zian was quick to reply to his chat messages.

"*What are you doing?" write Mariah in her chat message.

"Again lying while playing mobile phone. What's up, Mariah?" reply to Zian chat message.

"I just saw your close friend, Sandro's sister," said Mariah.

"Cie. cie.. Who's being close to a handsome guy," messages chat Mariah.

"Hahaha, Mariah! I am so ashamed! Oh yeah, you haven't answered my question. Where's Sandro's sister?" message chat Zian.

"But promise you don't be surprised and surprised well," Mariah's chat message.

"Yes, I promise not to be surprised and hanging," Zian chatted.

"I saw Brother Sandro coming out of the church with his extended family" Mariah's chat message read.

"Oh, Sandro's very tolerant! Maybe Sandro accompanied his family members who are Christian. Really great, brother Sandro his tolerance. I salute you, Mariah," Zian chatted.

"Eh?? You really aren't surprised, Zian?" message chat Mariah.

"No dong! Why should I be surprised, Mariah? Things like this are common. Other people maintain religious tolerance while celebrating her big day," Mariah chat message.

"But here I'm assuming something else, Zian," said Mariah.

"What do you think, Mariah?" message chat Zian.

"Regarding that Sandro was actually a Christian and was following the Christmas celebration or mass," Mariah chat message.

"A, Mariah! You are wrong! Even I myself watched with my own head that Sandro brother also prayed Friday at the mosque, really," Zian chat message.

"Oh, but do you really see that Sandro sister is performing Friday prayers and not just entering the mosque," said Mariah.

"Eh? I didn't see her, Mariah! You may have seen it wrong, Mariah! Maybe what you saw was someone similar to Sandro. But not Sandro," Zain chatted.

"Yes already! The red date tomorrow, right? How about we meet and eat together," said Mariah.

"OK ready! See you, Mariah!" message chat Zian.

"See you!" chat message Mariah*.
