Substitute Love (Married Candidate Sister-in-law)

In His Own Way

In the morning, Alzam seemed to be on schedule to visit an orphanage. Actually, this is a charity event that is often held by the Alatas Medical Center. Provide free health care and some food and toys they bring as souvenirs.

When they just got out of the car, they were greeted enthusiastically by the orphanage children. They came out to welcome their arrival. And there are also caretakers who come directly to welcome their arrival.

Alzam really enjoys the routine that is often held every six months. He was always enthusiastic about doing it. This is one of the homes they often visit for charity work. Some children even know Alzam very well.

They welcome the arrival of Alzam and his team. The kind and gentle Alzam made the orphanage child who really missed the old man's affection to be very spoiled to him. Even one of the 2-year-old babies in the parlour did not want to be separated from Alzam's sling.

He hugged Alzam tightly did not want to escape, although it has been persuaded in various ways by the caretaker.

"It's okay, Mother. Let me carry him," Alzam told the owner of the parlour that looked bad for the behavior of the children.

"Duh, the kids here really like to get rid of it, doctor," he's not feeling well. Alzam just smiled. He really did not feel bothered, even he felt very happy to be received so warmly by the orphanage.

"No. I liked. They are not a hassle" Alzam assured. That he was not at all disturbed.

From a distance Jesika who noticed the interaction of Alzam and the orphanage children felt a little amazed. Alzam's fatherly side is increasingly visible when he is close to the orphanage children. He didn't look awkward at all when the boys started to gang up on him with various requests and invite him to play along.

'Can you not trust a child to him, Lord? She was perfectly capable of educating and raising a child, Jesika's inner being. Jesika's eyes could not be separated from the gentle and loving figure of Alzam at this time.

After finishing, Jesika and Alzam sat together resting on a bench in the hallway of the home.

"You tired? I saw you were messing around with the kids earlier. You look better now" Jesika said.

Alzam took a deep breath and leaned against the back of the bench, inserting his hands in the white pocket of his doctor's uniform.

"I'm just trying to shift my attention to something else. Make me not care much anymore, and not get involved anymore. I don't know why it feels so much more comfortable" Alzam said.

"Yes. The more you care, the more sick you become. And that turns you into a bad one" Jesika added. Alzam agreed.

They still keep chatting. Discussing many things that make without feeling the time passed so quickly.

On the other hand Vero still looked silencing Qian. Mama Jill who knew about it began to invite Vero to chat as she accompanied Vero for a walk that morning.

"Not all relationships work well. You must also understand that one of the relationships that can not work well is the relationship of your husband and in-laws. They seem to have a pretty complicated relationship. You cannot judge from one side only," said Mama Jill advising Vero.

Vero looked at his mother as he continued to walk around the wide enough ball field.

"He was always at odds with his mother even though her mother had begun to soften. If it keeps going like this when they want to get better, Mah," complained Vero.

Vero was interested in hearing this.

"His mother seemed not to see from either side. Seen there that your mother-in-law always sided with Alzam and used to blame Qian, your husband Vero. Maybe such a wound he had kept for a long time. Take it easy, they will make up one day if their hearts can forgive each other. Like Mama and you" said Mama Jill with a smile. Vero reciprocated with an embrace on his mother's loin.

Probably true. Qian and her mother just need a reason to forgive each other. Maybe one day their relationship will improve again. Or it will be good someday for the right reasons.

At home Qian seemed to start feeling hungry. He saw the food on the table. Although upset Vero still serves food for him.

It wasn't long before Vero came home just as Qian was done with his breakfast. Upon seeing Vero grabbing a drink in the refrigerator suddenly came Qian's prank idea.

"Hmmm... The first new. The body has been spitting like a rhino. How not her husband cheating, where fierce again," Qian comments like reacting a vidio on a ticktok with his cellphone that he put on the table.

Suddenly, a glass hit the table quite hard.

TAK...

Qian turned his head briefly and smiled nosily at Vero's annoyed smile.

"Yes, yeah... I'll do the dishes" Qian said, pretending not to know, citing Vero's anger.

Vero stared intently at Qian. In fact, it made him even more upset to see that very handsome face and remember his comments about the woman who had just given birth earlier. Vero felt Qian would dump him like that later if he also stretched.

'Kayak rhinoceros said, ' Vero's mind was angry but could not express it.

He walked towards his room and sat on the bed still with his face bent. For a moment Vero's eyes fell on a mirror. He stood up and started staring at the reflection of his body there.

"Qian nyebelin," said Vero who unexpectedly Qian instead entered the room with a nosy smile looking at Vero.

Vero steadied Qian who was getting closer to his direction. And suddenly hugged him. From behind with Vero's position still staring at the reflection of his body in the mirror.

"I'm kidding. Want a rhino or elephant. I will not turn away. I just want Veronica to be my wife. Reo said she looked like a pretty dillraba. Cook still want to cheat," teased Qian. Makes Vero cry. Qian instead laughed at Vero's annoyed cry that looked very funny in his eyes.

"You are destitute" said Vero.

"Who told me to pout from last night until this morning his face was still like a grapefruit," ledek Qian.

"Iiihhh..," exclaimed Vero as he pinched Qian's waist in annoyance, which Qian greeted with laughter. They will fight and then make up in their own way.

Mama Jill who happened to hear the sound of their joking laughter from the outside just bobbing heads with the husband and wife's behavior.
