Sensational Substitute Husband

Old Admirer Fara

"Son, tonight after work, you go straight to Aunt Ami's house!" farzan told Fara when they were having breakfast together in the dining room of his residence.

Yes, last night during a video call with Kenan, Fara was in her old room at Farzan's residence, the father. As long as Kenan is in Switzerland, Fara will stay here, according to Kenan's proposal so that Fara does not feel lonely without her in the apartment.

"Play on to Aunt Ami's house, Dad?" asked Fara casually while continuing to feed the food into her mouth.

"You remember Andre, right?" instead of answering, Farzan instead asked back which was rather unconnected according to Fara.

For a moment Fara was silent looking for the name 'Andre' in her memory "I mean Father, Brother Andre, Nephew Om Ardan, Husband Aunt Ami?"

"Hm." Farzan nodded while chewing the food in his mouth. "Yes, Andre Ardan's nephew. He just finished his S3 study a week ago and plans later tonight will be held a small thanksgiving at Ami's house to celebrate. We're invited there." make it clear later, after the food in his mouth is gone.

"Ooh..." Fara mangosteen - mangosteen "Well Well." break it agree Farzan's letter in the end.

Evening has arrived. As agreed, after work Fara immediately went to Ardan's residence which is also the house of Ami, the aunt, as Farzan's letter this morning. Fara is driven by Bambang. Yes, Bambang. Although without Kenan, Bambang is still in charge of driving while maintaining the security of Fara as long as Kenan is in Switzerland. But along the way Fara looked lethargic that Bambang believed must be because he missed Kenan.

And true as Bambang estimates, Fara is indeed missing Kenan. Today was the last time they communicated during the afternoon break, while Kenan in Switzerland was already at night, according to the geographical time difference of 6 hours. Very limited communication time that really makes Fara dongkol. Wanting to contact Kenan tonight, Fara felt disinclined for fear of disturbing Kenan who she believed must be resting. Fara could only endure her longing.

"We have arrived Madam." reported Bambang at once disperse the reverie of Fara who was looking out the car glass until they did not realize that they had arrived.

"Oh, yes, thank you sir." responded Fara uninspired, then got out of the car.

From outside the Ardan residence that seemed quite majestic to the laity, Fara faintly could hear the crowd inside. While continuing to step back into the depths of the Ardan residence, Fara tried to remember - remember again the figure of Andre, the star of thanksgiving that he was about to attend.

'Andre Setiawan's'. The name is not foreign, nor is it familiar to Fara. To him, Andre was just one of the relatives he considered to be a cousin. There was nothing special about that guy. Even sometimes Fara felt uneasy if they met. Because, not meant to be narcissistic, just every time they met, Fara felt Andre was too concerned about him.

Fara was neither stupid nor insensitive, she knew Andre was putting his heart on her. Even when dating Bagus first, Bagus once warned himself not to get too close to Andre. Maybe the feeling of a man who feels getting a rival, thought Fara about Good attitude at the time.

"Assalamualaikum" said Fara as soon as he entered the courtyard of Ardan's residence where the ceremony was held. Through a quick calculation, he can guess that the number of audiences present is approximately 25 people including himself. Among the audience, he simply recognized the faces of those who came from two large families Ami and Ardan. But more from the Ardan family. Perhaps because the star of thanksgiving came from the family side of Ardan, thought Fara concluded.

"Waaliakumsalam." The reply of those who had attended first included Farzan, the father who was also among them.

"Oh, you've reached my son, come here!" Farzan called Fara to sit right next to the chair he was sitting on.

Fara obediently obeyed. But just a few steps Fara walked towards the side of Farzan, suddenly his steps stopped by a cry.

For the audience who were there, maybe Andre's suggestion was a special offer. Although not as famous as Kenan, Andre is also actually quite famous in the medical world of Indonesia, especially in the field of skin health specialists. Especially after completing his S3 study that can be ascertained his name will be more towering.

But for Fara, all that is not special in the least. "Hm, sorry Brother Andre. I sat down with my father alone." refused to try as polite as possible with formal language while smiling glaringly.

"Ugh..." Andre looked stunned a little misbehaved. It seemed that the man had not expected that Fara would turn down her offer. "Well, it's okay. Please!" she let it off a little awkwardly then. Unlike Fara, Andre uses non-formal language in his speech.

"Hm." Fara nodded as she continued to maintain her gloating smile at Andre, then resumed her steps to Farzan's side under the complicated gazes of the other audiences.

The atmosphere of thanksgiving that had been relaxing and lively, suddenly became a bit awkward and silent. It seems that the other audience also did not expect Fara's rejection, so they made their movement become sad because they felt bad for Andre.

As for Andre himself, despite looking calm, everyone knew that in fact the man was feeling a sense of shame that was certainly quite large. It was very clearly implied from the smile worn on his face that seemed very forced.

But no one can do anything about it. Blame Fara? Who would dare to intersect with a wife of Naufal Kenan? After all, Fara was not wrong. It is precisely Andre who should be self-aware to whom he offers. Who was he to invite Fara to sit together? Even though they were relatives, then what? It is up to Fara to accept or refuse. It is sad Andre who is like a word like a ridge that misses the moon. The man seemed to be over-assessing himself.

"Ehem.." suddenly Ardan cleared his throat hard enough to distract people from him. "It seems like all the guests have attended. So, how about we just start the show?" he proposed later, as the host as well as the person who suggested the procurement of this thanksgiving event at his residence.

"Hm, Andre thinks so does Uncle." Andre who agreed as the star of thanksgiving and was accepted by other audiences, including Fara.

With that, the Thanksgiving event began which began with prayers - Islamic sharia prayer. Ardan led the prayer. Although not so in his knowledge of Islamic sharia, Ardan quite know the prayers used in opening a Thanksgiving event like this.

"Amiiin." said everyone in unison at the end of the prayer - a prayer that essentially offers great hope for the blessing and usefulness of the knowledge that Andre got to complete his S3 study.

"Alright, then please enjoy the dish!" ardan said later, let everyone enjoy the dishes available.

Throughout the meal session, either for the sake of obeying good eating order, or still carried away by the awkward atmosphere that still feels, no one took the initiative to open their mouths to start a conversation. They all ate in silence and solemnity, only the clanking of spoons, forks and plates that clashed together to fill the silence.

Likewise at the end of the meal session which was only closed with a thank you by Andre as a star of thanksgiving, as well as being the closing greeting of the thanksgiving. After that the audience still did not open a casual or light chat between them. They seem to be affectionate towards each other, not like fellow relatives or family.

That when the ceremony was dissolved, the audience gave each other a formal farewell to Andre and among themselves to each other.

"Thank you for attending the big brother's ceremony, Dek Fara" Andre Kala Fara said farewell to him.

"Hm, same sister, once again safe." reply Fara as sincere as possible, then passed from the front of Andre who stared at his back nanar.
