Substitute Love (Married Candidate Sister-in-law)

Weddings

Until they reached the room and Qian found Vero's grandmother lying limp with many medical devices on her body. He sat down beside Grandma Vero without daring to stare at Grandma's face directly.

There are also several other members of the Vero family. They all began to arrive including his mother and stepfather and his sister.

"Married, Vero. Grandma please," Grandma said making everyone shocked.

"Yet. It's already night. Tomorrow, yes talk about it," interrupted Vero's mother.

"No. My time is not long. I want it now. Marry them religiously first. After that, they will take care of it officially. I won't calm down before they get married, "please granny by grasping Vero's hand and looking at Qian.

"No problem for me, Grandma. But ...," Qian's remark was cut off. He looked at Vero who was looking back at him. "Vero ...," said Qian.

Vero stared at Qian's meaningful expression. For a moment they looked at each other and seemed to be engaged in an inner war between their hearts. They were trying to find out about each other's feelings through the gazes of the two.

Grandma understood very well if the two were just involved in a cold war instead of not loving each other. Only the circumstances that were tossing around the feelings of the two at this moment.

"Vero. Marry Qian. Think of this as your Grandma's last wish," she slowly touched Vero's hand.

It immediately resuscitated Vero from his daydream and released his gaze to Qian.

"Miss. Don't talk about it. Grandma's gonna be cured, huh." Vero seemed very frightened when he heard his grandmother's statement stating that he was going to leave Vero. She was very afraid of losing her grandmother.

"Yet. It's too pushy" interrupted Vero's mother again.

"No. Come onl. Just do it tonight," ask grandma again as if tal can be denied.

Qian fell silent. This way. He hasn't even told his mother and other family.

In preparation they try to make preparations. They started to collect whatever they could. Including the pengulu sir that they brought suddenly.

Wedding rings and a set of prayer tools. And a set of gold. That's all they can get tonight.

Even the plain white shirt that Qian wore for the cobul hijab he could borrow here and there.

"It's okay. This is enough. Let Papa be your witness. And make your guardian. Let uncle Anwar your father's brother" said Ferdi Vero's stepfather. Vero nodded.

"It's okay. They won't care" Qian denied. Vero looked at Qian. There was a sense of disappointment in Qian's eyes at this moment.

"I'll call Maya's mom right now" Vero said.

"I said no need," prevent Qian.

Vero still doesn't care. She kept calling Maya Qian's mom.

Maya is taking care of Alzam who was exhausted by Qian when she got a phone call from Vero. She was shocked to learn of Qian and Vero's wedding plans via a phone call.

He's headed straight for Grandma Vero's nursery. There was already crowded with people who were the Vero family.

"No. Qian is a child. He's only 21. How could she possibly be responsible for a marriage" Maya argued angrily.

"I will not approve of this marriage. Until whenever I won't approve it," Maya refused loudly.

"My niece is pregnant. Ready or unprepared they must get married" Anwar's uncle argued firmly. Maya took her breath in. He looked at Qian for a moment. Qian challenged her mother's gaze boldly and confidently.

"Hmmmh... Whatever. If something happens don't blame me" Maya said flatly, then left the room.

Qian stared flatly at her mother's departure from there.

"And I told you. Don't tell him." Qian looked annoyed.

"That's it. It's okay if he doesn't approve of it, I'll still marry Vero. That's my responsibility," Qian said again. Grandma smiled while Vero just bowed down not daring to raise his face.

They also began to carry out the event of the qobul ijab simply by being witnessed by Vero's grandmother who was still lying limp.

Qian said his qobulu ijab smoothly and steadily. It was as if he was very confident in his decision at this moment. After this, he will start a new life with Vero and their son. He will not care about his mother and brother anymore.

The LEGITIMATE call from the witnesses indicates that now Qian and Vero are legal as husband and wife even without the blessing of Qian's mother.
