Substitute Love (Married Candidate Sister-in-law)

Heart Betting

Qian met her father at a restaurant. Because it coincides with lunch time as well at this time. He ordered his son's favorite food.

When he saw the arrival of the son he waved his hand to tell his whereabouts. Qian smiled and walked over to the father.

By the time he saw all the orders had come. Qian sat down and looked at his father who was enjoying his wagyu steak with a fork and knife in his hand.

"Papa ordered your favorite food. We eat together, papa is very hungry so order first" explained Arial. Qian simply smiled as she placed her bag on the empty bench beside her. He looked at the father who was enjoying his meal. For a long time they had not met, his father still looked charismatic as before.

"Why is Papa here?" qian asked curiously and still did not touch the dish before her.

"Later we will talk. We eat first" replied Arial not wanting to spoil his appetite if discussing that now.

"I've eaten," replied Qian flatly.

Arial looked at his son and stopped his eating. Looks like Qian is building a wall between them. Arial could feel the aura of anger and disappointment within Qian at this moment.

"really. I ate before I got here. My wife had already prepared the supplies before I left for work. So I ate at work before I got here. I'm full already" Qian assured.

Arial thought for a moment before continuing his meal and not forcing Qian anymore. He did not want to spoil the atmosphere that seemed to be very sensitive at the moment. Wrong little Qian could escape and all his plans could fall apart.

"Then order a drink. And the food that has been ordered Papa in the pack just take it home, yes. You accompany Papa to eat," said Arial offering. Qian agreed and he ordered a cold drink in time to wait for his father to finish eating.

They chatted small talk in between his lunch Arial.

"How's Zee doing, Pah?" qian asked about her sister. One father's sister but another mother, because Zee is Arial's son with Lisa.

"He's kind. He's starting school now. He often asks why you never come to see him again. Even when we passed in front of your old boarding house he asked to stop by until weeping. We have to go down to prove to him that you don't live there anymore" Arial said. Qian just chuckled at Arial's statement just now. Qian's laughter seemed to give a fresh breeze to Arial. He at least had a chance to talk about his goal to Qian later.

After lunch, Arial asks to visit Qian's wife and daughter.

"We're going to your house, yeah. Papa has a gift for him. All Papa wants to know your wife," said Arial eagerly and does not show an attitude against her like Maya.

Qian was initially silent for a moment before she finally followed the wishes of the father. With heavy steps he took his father using the car he was carrying, the Vero car.

There was fear in his heart if his father knew the woman he was marrying was a simple woman.

When he arrived in front of Qian's red jazz car, Arial frowned in surprise. This car is not Qian's style and she remembers buying her son this vehicle of her dreams when she was told about Qian running away from her anger when she found out that Alzam was buying a vehicle and she wasn't.

"Don't you have a bike, huh? What motorbike did Papa buy that was also taken with your Mama?" ask Arial suspiciously.

Because it feels impossible Qian would want to drive a red car full of pink interior accents like this. This definitely does not belong to Qian, so inner Arial.

"Motor I've sold for capital to build my company with friends," said Qian.

Arial fell silent. He realized he had gone through a lot. Many things have happened during his departure from the side of Maya and her children.

On the other hand, Lisa looks a lot pensive and often looks daydreaming since the departure of Arial to meet his ex-wife and son. He's been thinking a lot since Arial's departure.

Since her marriage to Arial. Lisa never fully felt her Arial. The man was always thinking about his son and ex-wife. She seems to be married just because Arial does not want to have problems with his mother.

Arial has always acted alone, although he is responsible and considerate, but Lisa often feels Arial's heart is not with him until Zee is 6 years old as he is today.

While being engrossed with her daydreams suddenly Lisa was surprised by someone with a soft touch on her shoulder that made Lisa jump in shock.

"What are you thinking?" ask her mother-in-law. Since Arial left, Lisa has decided to stay with her mother-in-law.

"Your mother said, right. You better not let Arial see Maya. Maya will tease him back and you'll lose Arial," her mother-in-law's shrill voice sounded a bit cynical and radiated a gaze full of anger and disappointment in her old eyes at this time.

"No, Buk. I have no regrets. I even felt that the family matter should be resolved immediately. I don't want their unfinished story to continue haunting our relationship. Maybe by making Arial mas meet mbak Maya will make them able to finish what is not finished in their relationship," said Lisa soft. Widya sanga the mother-in-law frowned not understanding Lisa's mindset.

"They will reconnect and it will make you lose Arial, Lisa," Widya exclaimed staring into Lisa's eyes.

"Two years at the beginning of our marriage. I have to face Arial's cold attitude towards me, Buk. He didn't touch at all. After a long time I struggled to get his heart, only then could he melt, Buk. But ... I'm still not sure if he really loves me. Therefore, if indeed Arial decided to part with me, I sincerely, Buk. In this relationship it is not only me, Arial and Maya are injured. But also our kids, Buk," Lisa said.

Widya was silent. He took a deep breath and looked at Lisa's beautiful face. He gently patted Lisa's shoulder with a smile.

"Maya, she's full of ambition and obsession. He always wanted to prove that he was great and invincible. That's what I'm kasian to Arial who always had to understand with Maya's ambition." Lisa looked at her mother-in-law.

"The story is over, Lisa. Arial and Maya are only still dissatisfied, because it is your anger that makes them separate. Mom insulted him at that time. Because my mother is so fed up with her ambition that she often ignores the existence of Arial and her children." Widya looked into Lisa's eyes.

"You gave Arial sincere love. Trust me, Arial will not leave you. He's found out where his heart's anchored." Widya clasped Lisa's hand tightly with a warm gaze that made Lisa calm, Lisa returned with a warm smile and tightly hugged her mother-in-law.

"Thank you, Buk. My mother has always loved me all this time" said Lisa sincerely, Widya smiled warmly while stroking her daughter-in-law's back gently.

Not long Zee came and was greeted warmly by his mother and grandmother.

"Did Qian have a baby grandpa, Mih?" ask Zee naively.

"Yes. Baby mas Qian boy, baby. Ganteeeng really," said Lisa while occupying her child in her lap.

"Zee wants to see" he whines at his mother.

"Yes, we'll be there to see baby mas Qian, yeah. So Zee do not be naughty, so that papa would invite Zee to go there next time, Mami" said Lisa gave understanding to her son.

Widya let out a long sigh hearing Lisa's statement.

"You can't just trust everyone, Lisa. Leave a little for suspicion, so you can be vigilant," said Grandma Widya before leaving Lisa and Zee. Lisa smiled at her in-laws statement.
