SUBSTITUTE LOVE

chapter 48

After the lunch was over they all went on with a chat in the garden behind Nathan's house. They were all jokingly enjoying a day off that only came once a week.

"Hey, what if we had a swimming race." Danu told Nathan and Fino. The man could not be silent, there was always an idea popping into his head.

"Are you crazy, you don't see here a woman" Fino said quickly

"Hahhhh, indeed she is a woman." sidir Danu while looking down at Amel

"Yes, you can't tell which women are real and which women are. Or maybe you are often accompanied by women on the roadside yes." said Amel who did not want to lose.

"He, don't be just anyone. I'm not like that." said Danu did not accept Amel

"Either, if you don't want others to underestimate you, don't underestimate others." said Amel.

"you're not like Tom and Jarry, but more like Cats and hamsters" Nathan said, starting to get dizzy at the two quarrels.

"Mas, if the cat and the Hamster are not worth it." protested Anel

"What's that worth?" nathan asked quickly

"Cats and lions." replied Fino's origin

"That's more unsuitable." Anel protest again

"What do they deserve?" ask Nathan again

"Why do you even want to give us nicknames." annoyed Danu

"Yes just give him that nickname" said Amel quickly

"That's more fitting for you Miss." point Danu to Amel

"Cihhh, even you don't want to give in to a woman" said Amel staring intently at Danu

"Buahahahhaha, surrender to you. Don't dream Miss." said Danu with a laugh

"As for whether you can marry the two of them as soon as possible, I'm dizzy to hear them like that" Anel told her husband

"NO." Triak Danu, Amel and also Fino simultaneously, to make Anel and Nathan look at each other confused

"He Fin, why are you shouting too?" nathan asked full of questions

Fino scratched his head that was not itchy. His behavior seems to imply that he is interested in Amel. The girl he just knew

"Well there will be a Love triangle" said Anel with the temptation of the eyes.

The three of them instantly silently heard Anel's words just now. After a long debate, they decided to go home, the color of the day was getting late.

Amel's car has been repaired. Initially Fino wanted to drive Amel but was rejected by Amel because he did not want to leave his favorite car here.

After the house is deserted, Anel and Nathan enter their room. Anel immediately lay down on the bed because he was tired. Nathan, who saw Anel's condition, sat down next to his wife.

"Are you tired, baby?" ask Nathan

"Yes, now I get tired easily. Even my legs are often tingling." complained Anel

"Do I want a massage?" nathan asked in a soft voice

"Aren't you tired?" ask Anel back

"No. Wait a minute I'll get you some warm oil." Nathan said and went to get some warm oil

Nathan returned quickly, he sat down and began massaging his wife's legs. Anel felt comfortable with the massage that gave Nathan the pain in his legs had disappeared a little.Without feels Anel Sleep in massage Nathan.

Even though he was on vacation but Nathan still had to work, he checked the email Aldo sent for him.

Without feeling the time is so fast passing. As Anel blinked his eyes he tried to wake up from his deep, comfortable sleep. Anel looked at the wall clock that was clearly displayed at eight o'clock at night.

"It's been a long time since I fell asleep, and where did Nathan go." murmured Anel as he looked through the large room.

Anel tried to sit and lean on the edge of the bed, he stroked his distended stomach, trying to chat with his baby soon to be born."Son, Mama's so hungry, are you hungry too?" ask Anel to the baby

Anel felt a pretty loud kick from inside his stomach."Ohhhhh dear you are very hungry yes, well let's go down and see if there is food or not" said Anel quickly

Anel immediately went out of the room towards the kitchen. But before Anel went down the stairs Anel glanced at the next room, it was Nathan's study. Anel walked towards the door and opened it a little. Anel never got into the workspace, but I don't know what made him this time want to go in there.

After Anel saw what her husband was doing Anel went straight downstairs, he walked into the kitchen, and there was already a look of a young woman who had just finished cleaning the cookware.

"What kind of baby cook? " asked Anel when he arrived near the monk

"New baby wants to cook Non. Non Anel hungry huh?" ask bik imh fast

"She made me very hungry. Did Nathan eat malan bik?" ask Anel again

"Non not yet, den Nathan has not come down since this afternoon, maybe Den Nathan is working." replied bik imah while taking the ingredients in the refrigerator

"Non Anel just wait at the dinner table, let den Nathan bik yem who call" said bik yem quickly

"No need to make it, let it go. Nathan still has a job. Oh yeah, can auntie open me scrambled eggs, I really want to eat that" said Anel

" Of course not." said Bik

Anel passed by leaving the kitchen and walked towards the dining table. Anel sat in front of the dining table, staring blankly ahead, He held his chest, there was a sense of tightness in that part. His face looks so sad. Without Anel knowing Nathan was behind him

"Honey, don't daydream" Nathan said, hugging Anel from behind

"Mas, you just surprised me." said Anel quickly

Nathan let go of his embrace and sat down next to Anel."What are you thinking, hmm?" nathan looked at the wife seriously.

"Do you really love me mas." asked Anel with a sad face.

"Why are you still asking like that, what all I'm doing is not enough to make you believe" Nathan said staring in surprise at the question that had just come out of Anel's lips

"I miss Mas's father, I'm sorry if I still doubt you. I'm sorry I can't be the perfect substitute" Anel said in tears

Nathan pulled Anel in his arms."You're not a substitute, honey. I never thought of you that way. Why do you still think of yourself that way." Nathan Sabil stroked his wife's back.

"You lied to me." Anel

"Good up and take a shower before dinner" Nathan said as he let go of his embrace

"Have you taken a shower?" anel asked as he wiped the rest of his tears

"Mas took a shower before he got down here" Nathan replied

"Well, I went upstairs first" said Anel as he passed leaving Nathan alone at the dinner table.

The flashback

Anel opened the door to Nathan's office with a heart. Unseen by Nathan, Anel decides to enter the private room of her husband. Slowly Anel stepped his foot inside. When he arrived at Nathan's desk, Anel saw a small photo binkai, there was a picture of a couple of lovers who were laughing happily.

Anel was stunned, he was quite surprised by what he saw. Anel knew why her husband hadn't paid much attention to her. Yes, although Anel always saw Nathan trying to be kind and responsible. But all of that doesn't make the reality of things change.
