Substitute Love (Married Candidate Sister-in-law)

Guilt

The next night the grandmother who had just learned about Vero's condition soon came to the room where Vero was treated. He anxiously approached Vero and tightly hugged the beautiful woman's body.

When he saw Vero's limp state he looked very worried, many times he rubbed Vero's hands with teary eyes. That provoked Alzam's pity on Grandma Vero.

"Vero's okay, Grandma. He's limp from his soy sauce, so it's a little feverish. So yesterday fainted," explained Alzam who had been close to Vero's grandmother since they dated first. He often visits Vero's house to take Vero home from work or just visit Vero and chat with his grandmother and Vero.

"Why doesn't anyone tell Grandma that Vero's being cared for! Grandma has been worried since last night. He said he's at Mika's place. It turns out that even here you are, in this infusion as well," protested the grandmother who felt disappointed in lying.

"No heart, Grandma. Fear of having a granny take nocturnal," Alzam gently explained. "Vero's okay too, Grandma. The important thing is now that Vero is healthy, right," persuaded Alzam with a warm smile. Grandma just smiled as she rubbed Alzam's shoulders gently.

Seeing Grandma and Alzam's closeness that never changed even though they had now broken up, made Vero feel a little guilty. As close as they used to be, it could be that Vero broke off their relationship at that time.

But, nevermind. After all now he already had Qian who was no less good than Alzam. A warmer man expresses his feelings. Maybe! Hopefully he can be trusted. As Vero has predicted so far.

Amens.

Vero returned to make several calls, but was never able to connect. He was still trying to contact Qian. If Qian continued to be unable to contact her like this, I don't know what she should do. Raised her without a husband? Or abort it?

One clear droplet flowed back on her beautiful face. He couldn't let Grandma down and humiliate her like this. Why is it that he is sane now. What if Qian really didn't want to take responsibility.

He is young, his future is long. There are still many dreams that he wants to achieve. Become a successful graphic designer. Being a person who can prove himself can be greater than his mother's expectations. Qian had said that to him first. Where might Qian be ready for a wedding.

Ah, naw. Qian couldn't possibly just leave him be. There must be a reason why he can't be contacted, Qian must have a reasonable reason. Vero again tried to straighten out his bad thoughts. He wiped his tears and forced to smile to strengthen himself.

Thankfully, grandma came home. Because Vero was whistling loudly asking his grandmother to go home because he could not bear to see his grandmother sleeping on the floor to accompany him.

"Hows it? Still nauseous? Where is that guy? Let me call him now." Alzam seems to be trying to make peace with the situation, he is trying to melt back their relationship that had been strained some time lately.

What a concern for Alzam makes Vero more fulfilled. He stared at Alzam without a word. Alzam catches on if this isn't okay.

"Why? Did something happen?" search Alzam.

Vero gulped his saliva bitterly, it felt hard to tell. But, Alzam had also been kind to him all this time. He is a doctor. Maybe he can help Vero out of this.

"Suddenly he can't be contacted. When new to the destination he can still be in contact, up to a few days. But now he suddenly disappeared. I was confused, worried about him too. We have no other contact than a cell phone. It's the only thing that can keep us connected all this time" Vero said, holding back from crying in front of Alzam.

Alzam knew Vero was holding back his tears. He spontaneously grabbed the girl's hand. Alzam understood now why Vero looked so messed up and scared. He nodded in understanding.

"Why are you this stupid? Why are you so easy to trust with someone you just met, Vero!" alzam exclaimed slightly raising his tone. Suddenly, Vero's cry broke.

"I don't know .. I don't know ...," isak Vero began to regret his stupidity. Alzam who could not bear to immediately bring Vero into his arms.

"It has. It's okay, we'll find a way out." Alzam tried to calm Vero down by holding Vero and gently rubbing his shoulder. For a moment Vero could feel the calmness in Alzam's arms. He really needs this right now. Something that makes him feel not alone. Slowly Vero's cries subsided.

Alzam has always been able to be a tranquilizer for him all this time. A gentle man who is very patient and loving.

Not feeling the day getting late, Vero was already asleep in his sleep by curling up as if looking for comfort.

Alzam just smiled to see the beautiful face that was sleeping. It gets more beautiful when she sleeps like this. Ah, his mind is starting to go wild again. Maybe it's time he left now.

Slowly Alzam moved from there. With great care Alzam tried to close the door without his creaking sound so as not to disturb Vero's deep sleep.
