Substitute 2

Bereft

When the door opened, I was surprised to see who was coming. Aldi and keasa were both entangled with each other, until finally she invited her husband to enter.

"Please enter the mas, sorry the room is a mess" said keasa

Aldi walked towards keasa and sat on one of the sofa rooms keasa.

"How are you doing?" ask Aldi

"Hmmh better mas,"

"Actually what happens until you fall unconscious in the hospital, and I hear you always come home late?"

"I'm just tired 'cause, patients give birth in hospitals pretty much, and I'm happy to do it"

"You should be able to take care of your health, because Maika still needs your attention"

Keasa smiled smirkily.

"By here would have wanted to see Maika, mas directly to his room there was mbak Yuni guarding him"

Aldi shook his head.

"No, I've met Maika downstairs, so I was gonna bring her here but she's changing her diaper"

"Oh well, I'll just wait a minute and he'll be done later I tell Yuni to bring Maika here,"

"I want to see that you are not just Maika, because after all you are my wife"

"Thank you for taking the time between the busy mas Aldi,"

"Why do we have to come back here, why don't we go back to our house?"

"Our house?" keasa murmured which Aldi still heard

"Yes, our house"

"That's your house and Keana's mother, my house here is mas. Later after recovering, I went back there, however I still have the responsibility to take care of Maika."

"I'm sorry that our marriage is so complicated, I feel guilty because you've been involved in this relationship"

"Here you go, maybe this is the destiny I have to live."

***

Day by day the state of keasa has recovered, even he can return to take care of the child continued Maika, the funny baby can already run smoothly and he can call keasa with the designation "Mama" , to be honest, she did not feel good, she wanted the baby to call her Aunty, but it was impossible because now she was the mother of Maika.

"Kee, don't you miss your husband?" ask Kevan to keasa.

Keasa only smiled while feeding Maika.

"Dad didn't want to throw you out, why shouldn't you go back to Aldi's house, he must really need you"

"Mas, Al is used to it without feeling well, so I think he'll be fine even without me"

"What do you mean kee?"

Keasa decides he wants to talk about it with Kevan, but he doesn't want to cover it all anymore, because Kevan must know that he never accepted Aldi as his wife.

"Mbak Yuni please bring Maika to play" Keasa told Maika's nanny .

After the situation is quite quiet, now there is Kevan and keasa stay there, keasa will tell everything as comfortable as possible and try to be strong.

"Well, maybe you will be surprised or understand everything, but believe me there is no regret even when having to undergo a will from Keana. Well, papi and mami may already know the truth is happening, but both of them never want to discuss it, but I always see the look of pity from mami and papi for me.."

"Kee, you don't understand what you're saying, please don't confuse me!"

Keasa smiled.

"Well, mommy and papi have brought all my belongings from Aldi's mas house"

Kevan was a little surprised.

"When did they do that and why?" kevan said curiously

"Maybe they already know what's really going on, but they're trying to cover it up for fear of my sad father"

Kevan is increasingly confused by the explanation given by keasa.

"Well, maybe after this dad will know everything, and I don't want to make papi and mami sad about what I'm going through, either,so when mommy or papi gets angry and disappointed and vents everything I hope you understand their feelings."

"Speak clear kee!" said Kevan who was already upset.

"For a year of our marriage, Mas Aldi never behaved like a husband, even we slept separately, Mas Aldi with all his memories with brother Keana and I just became residents of the guest room there. And forever I'll be a guest in that house, will you grant my parents' wishes if they ask me to stop being Aldi's wife?"

Kevan was so shocked to hear the words coming out of Keasa's mouth, he only realized that the relationship between his nephew and son-in-law was quite complicated, there was a guilt that made Kevan speechless,because Kevan is involved in it anyway.

Kevan was still speechless, he was at a loss as to what to say. Kevan thought everything was fine, Aldi accepted this marriage and could forget Keana, but in reality he had sacrificed his life. Keasa caught the guilt from the look in his eyes, he did not mean to make Kevan sad, but Kevan had to know that when keasa made the decision later his father had accepted.

"Dad doesn't have to be sad, I will try to defend my household at least for Maika's sake"

Kevan stared at the face of the clingy keasa.

"Kee, why are you just talking about everything now, I don't know if you've never been happy with this marriage, you should have said it from the beginning" Kevan said with teary eyes.

"The household's blessing is not entirely wrong well, because I loved my husband long before Keana's sister met Aldi, but fate says otherwise. And when destiny brought me and Aldi together it all felt strange like a surprise, even to this day I am still shocked by the relationship I have with Aldi "

Kevan is increasingly surprised by keasa's statement, it turns out keasa already loves Aldi first even before his daughter.

Kevan stared at Keasa's face guiltily.

"I'm sorry father kee, forgive destiny that plays you a little bit. I feel guilty for just learning about this, forgive daddy kee"

Keasa smiled.

"Dad, it's not the father's fault or anyone, everyone has their own destiny, this is my part and I have to live it, just pray everything is fine, just be okay, for now, it's just a prayer I need"

Kevan hugged his full day, he did not expect that this spoiled and chatty niece would be mature.

***

In Aldi's residence everything seemed quiet without the existence of keasa and Maika, every day Aldi felt anxiety and loss beyond the loss of Keana. Aldi tries to deny that he only misses his son, but Aldi can still see Maika every day, but his feelings are still restless.

I'm sorry I just got up, lost the idea to continue even though there are only a few more chapters left.
