Substitute Love (Married Candidate Sister-in-law)

Defeating the Ego

"Hmmm... You think you can fool me with crocodile tears like gini?" qian said as she pinched Vero's nose. Instantly Vero rounded his eyes irritated, it turned out that Qian was not like Alzam who would easily melt with his eyes.

"Where's the stuff?" qian asked as she got up from her sleep. Vero just kept quiet letting Qian look for her herself.

"That's good stuff, Qian. The material is soft and comfortable. We also need to, either," persuaded Vero again while holding Qian's hand as he was about to bring the baby's equipment.

"I work day and night, brother. Make menuhin all. Because I don't want any help from them. We will be insulted later for this reason," Qian said with eyes that seemed to harbor many wounds. Vero gulped his saliva bitterly.

"Sorry," said Vero slowly releasing his hand from Qian. Qian left with a look of Vero who seemed confused what to do at this time. She wanted to mend this mother-daughter relationship, but Qian still seemed to be very disappointed towards her mother.

Vero could only see Qian leaving on his motorbike. Vero let go of his rough breathing.

"That's it," said Vero and turned around. Not to mention he stepped up, he was already shocked by the sudden presence of his mother behind him.

"Mom!" exclaim Vero shocked. Mama Jill just laughed seeing Vero's startled reaction.

"Mama is leaving! Mama has business tonight. Mama try to go home quickly, yes dear," explained Mama Jill as she gently rubbed the face of her beautiful daughter before leaving.

Now Vero is home alone. Vero sat leaning against the guest sofa, confused about what to do alone. Waiting for Qian bored. That's all he can do right now.

Qian arrived at a large house. Luxury house located in the elite area. Beautiful garden lights look neatly displayed in each house. The park is very organized and there are almost no high walls that limit one house to another house.

Because this is a very safe environment and is maintained 24 hours by the complex security guard so it does not need a high wall fence as a safety again. Just like the houses in the European housing complex there. This is the Alatas family residence. Qian Family.

Before pressing the bell of the house Qian took a deep breath. Then he started pressing the bell and waited a while in front of the house. But, after thinking for a moment. Qian closed his eyes.

He was not ready to meet his mother directly, after his mother insulted him all out at that time. I don't think he wants to go to this house.

Before someone opened the door, Qian left first. Just as Qian had already left, someone opened the door. Knowing whose vehicle it is, Maya who opens the door tries to chase hoping to still be able to call her son back. But Qian darted too fast, Maya couldn't stop him.

When she turned around, Maya saw a pile of grocery bags that she had bought with Vero lying just at the door.

Maya looked back at the direction her son left, there was a sadness in her heart seeing his gift being rejected raw by Qian.

Maya brought the bag home. Staring at the clothes of the baby with a bright mind and a deep gaze. It felt like his son was still wearing this kind of clothes as well, now he bought it for his grandson and was not well received.

"She was angry" Maya said, clutching the baby's clothes to her chest and leaning against the back of the sofa. One clear drop escaped the corner of his eye.

On the other hand Mama Jill seemed to be gathering with her friend. She was told that her best friend Moena would move in with her husband on duty. Today she is celebrating a farewell party with her best friends and she is also forcing Mama Jill to take part.

Mama Jill couldn't resist when the one who asked her to come was Moena herself. Mama Jill came and welcomed the looks and exclamations of her gangmates.

"Kok gini anyway, Jill?"

"It's stupid of you now, say."

"The Ferdi's Path. We'll help you hit him."

That was the greeting when they saw the change in appearance of Mama Jill who only wore a covered canal with hair that she pigtails without thick makeup typical of her makeup first

"I have a grandson. Cook me and like Suzana continue, there is my granddaughter does not want me to carry anymore," as always Mama Jill still with her typical laughter that still sounds crisp and friendly as usual.

For a moment his friends seemed not to discuss the appearance of Mama Jill anymore. They focus more on the show.

When Mama Jill was offered wine, she tried to refuse but the insistence of her friends made Mama Jill unable to refuse it. One glass, two glasses, finally the party really became an intoxicating party. Mama Jill stopped him as she started to feel faint and a little dizzy.

"Enough, enough ... It's been too much" refused Mama Jill.

"Yaudah," they said they understood Mama Jill's situation.

"Jill, I've called Ferdi, yes pick you up. It's already night. We are not the same way as you" exclaimed one of Mama Jill's friends. Mama Jill widened her eyes in disbelief. But, he tried to cover it even though it was still visible from the look of his face that changed.

"Wrong, yes, Jill?" ask her again.

"No, no papa. You guys go home first. I'm waiting for her here" Mama Jill said with a reassuring smile.

"No papa Jill you, we're staying? We can, wait until your husband comes" they said again and embraced another.

"No papa" said Mama Jill assured.

They left Mama Jill in front of the restaurant. Mama Jill stared one by one the departure of the luxury car. For some reason now it feels normal, there is no jealousy like before.

In the past, he would be very unacceptable if his bag was cheaper than others, or his clothes did not follow the trend today. But right now even she was only using her old closed-off, simple bag dress that she bought last year. And flat shoes that for him comfortable, no longer high heels that make his feet sore when coming home, or thick makeup that takes hours in front of the mirror to be able to apply it.

"It's much more comfortable. This is how it feels to beat the ego," muttered Mama Jill alone.

For a moment he remembered something. He immediately picked up his cell phone and prepared to call someone.

"Hello" said someone from across the street.

"Qian! Can you get Mama now?" ask Mama Jill.

"Where else is it?" ask Qian from across there.

"In restaurant. It's been a long night. Mama is afraid to go home by public transportation," said Mama Jill along with the arrival of someone in front of her.

"Good, Mah. I'll be there. Wait for me to finish my job for a second. I again revised a little in place om Jhon," said Qian.

Mama Jill did not wait for Qian to say. He reflexively removed his cell phone from his ear as he saw who was coming before him at this moment.

Ferdi! Yes, Ferdi. The man he had not heard from for a long time and did not even look for his whereabouts when he left. Jill thought she refused to come, but she did.

The two looked at each other meaningfully.
