Substitute 2

Not your Place

After dinner Aldi first entered his room, then followed by keasa. After keasa managed to put Maika to sleep, she was confused about having to go into the room or stay in Maika's room, unfortunately in Maika's room there was no bed, there was only a baby bed. Keasa decided to go to Aldi's room.

When keasa entered the room, Aldi was sitting on the sofa room while reading a report, whether the report but clearly Aldi looked serious. Keasa who saw it did not dare to interfere, he immediately laid his body on the right, it was a position that was usually occupied by a wife, he said,when keasa will be able to lay his body down suddenly the sound of Aldi intruding.

"Kee, sorry that's the usual place Keana lives in, you should sleep on the left, that's the place I used to sleep in, from now on you sleep on the left" Aldi said making a feeling of being torn

keasa who was about to lay his body, he did and moved to the left. Keasa shed his tears without Aldi's knowledge, his feelings were very broken, what a relationship he lived was this complicated.

Keasa pretended to close his eyes, in his head as if many were talking, making him want to scream and cry as he could. At ten o'clock Aldi adjusted his work, he had laid his body on the bed, but his body seemed uncomfortable, like something was disturbing,Aldi rolled his body to the left and to the right so as to disturb the sleep of keasa who had just closed.

"Mas, why do you seem uncomfortable?" ask Keasa to Aldi

"You haven't slept, sorry to disturb your sleep, I'm just not comfortable sleeping here because since I was a child I used to sleep on the left"

"Oh, why exchange?"

"No need, I don't want Keana's place to replace" Aldi said without feeling

"What is it like to love him that you are the same Kak Keana, until you have to behave like that" muttered in his heart

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd be comfortable."

"It's okay to continue sleeping" said Aldi told keasa sleep

keasa again spilled his tears, so painful the marriage life he lived, it seems like this is the way of his life. At 11 pm Aldi was a little calm but his sleep was more towards the left position making keasa cornered and almost fell, finally to Bagun from the bed and chose to sleep on the sofa.

All night long crying, the life he lived right now was like a dream, he thought this kind of life was only in dramas and novels but the fact that he experienced this sad thing. Whether keasa will be able to undergo marriage with Aldi, while his cold attitude is not as friendly when they first meet.

Midnight Aldi awoke from thirst, when he woke up Aldi did not see keasa and his sleeping position was in the place that should be to the place. Trying to look around the room, he thought he was in the bathroom, until finally his gaze stopped on the long sofa in his room, he was cowering without pillows and blankets, and his gaze stopped, The AC in Aldi's room was tight enough to make keasa shiver with cold.

"Geez why are you sleeping on the couch, why not in bed? geez I took his bed" said Aldi who became that Aldi had taken the place of keasa

Aldi also approached keasa to move down.

"Kee, wake kee, move to bed" said Aldi woke keasa

Keasa squirmed and tried to open his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"No need, it's also convenient. You sleep alone I don't want to disturb your comfortable sleep, this is enough for me" said Keasa holding tightness in his chest

"I'm sorry, so much so I'm disturbing your sleep, but now I won't do it again, sleep there"

"Mas, I'd better sleep in the guest room. I promise I won't tell my family, it looks like you haven't been able to accept our marriage, nor can I possibly change your habits in just a few days. So let me occupy the guest room, in this room there is no place for me, let alone in your heart mas" said keasa spill his uneg-uneg

Aldi was speechless he was confused as to how to react, because what he said was indeed true, Aldi had not been able to open his heart to another woman, he said,he was still too stiff to go through with the wedding when the woman he loved had only left in a matter of months.

Keasa pulled the suitcase from under the bed, and the bag he put under the table, Aldi just silently watched what he did, his little heart felt guilty but he could not do anything.

"Sorry, I keep my suitcase under the bed, because I want to keep it in the closet and tidy up my clothes but there is no empty place. It's not my place here, ma'am,"

Aldi was still silent without a sound, he was still surprised by what was done on the second day Aldi became husband keasa. Keasa pulled his suitcase and bag out of Aldi's room, he could no longer hold back his tears, this was too painful for him.

"Oh Allah, what have I done to keasa, have I gone too far?, I cannot be like this continuously, however my current wife is" said Aldi

Keasa was crying as soon as in the room he covered his face with a pillow, his chest was tight he couldn't carry it all on if it was going to be like this. Until azaan reverberated to the new end of crying, he took ablution and performed the morning prayer, after the prayer he again complained to God who is all-reversing the hearts of men,keasa prayed that Aldi's heart would be softened and willing to accept their marriage.

**

In the morning, Aldi sat at the dinner table while Keasa was still preparing green tea for her husband.

"Mas, here's the tea. Oiya can I have breakfast here?" asked Keasa after successfully giving tea to Aldi

Aldi just nodded his head in a nod.

"Where I can sit, I don't want to take Keana's place anymore" said Keasa

Aldi fell silent and realized his mistake in keasa, because his actions made keasa ask for the matter of sitting alone which is actually not a big problem even though he sat in Keana place anyway he was no longer in this world.

"As far as you are" he said briefly

Keasa was sitting at the very end of the table, because he thought it was impossible if the late Keana was sitting in a considerable distance with her husband, so she did not feel guilty for occupying Keana's seat.
