Substitute Mother
Chapters 73. About Damn Time
Kiran took a deep breath. I hope that the decision he made was the right one. Even if it's tight in the chest when it comes to seeing Tyona cry. Even if he had to throw harsh reality at his friend. The obsgyn specialist massaged his forehead, his mind drifting at his sister's words the other day.
“Sister, doctor Jeffrey yesterday came to my police station. Jesus, he's so handsome, more handsome than the last time I saw”
“For what did Jeff come there?”*
“Of course to check the contents of his wife. This is the second time they have come. But I wonder why he didn't come to you alone who was clearly one hospital with him”*
“Tell my brother, his wife's gestational age has entered the fourth month. Ms. Renatta and their baby-to-be are very healthy. I wonder what his son's face will be like, must be very beautiful”*
“Renatta?”*
“Iya, his wife's name.. Renatta, right? Because that's what's listed is registered. And again when I heard the results of the examination I had heard they were grateful how healthy their baby”*
Kiran did not want to interfere in Tyona's household. But knowing the fact that his best friend was toyed with like this, his heart ached. Moreover, the name of Anna who has been tarnished due to unclear rumors, making her look like a traitor who should be the victim. While the real traitor is playing, enjoying the role of victim and stealing time to make out with his concubine.
Oh, cheating more precisely.
Kiran knew Tyona wouldn't believe her if she told her the truth. Be pretending like that. Seeing Tyona who he knew as a tough woman, appeared to be injured with tears pouring out, almost making Kiran also cry. At the same time wanted to punch Jeffrey. God, where's the brain of the bastard? He's got a wife as good as Tyona, but with no thanks he's playing behind.
The woman shook her head. It's enough to get here. He hated Jeffrey, not his capacity to go any further. Now all Kiran can promise is to stay by Tyona's side as a peer, as well as a good friend.

Hannah is grateful that the health of her mother and youngest sister has improved. That means he can go back to town and meet Mark. It is already unstoppable his longing will meet the lover. But on the other hand, if he comes back, it means he has to go through an old routine, dancing for Louis.
Ever thought in his mind, did he just run away? run away from the agreement he had agreed with Louis. But it certainly won't be that simple. Hannah was sure Louis would not remain silent if he escaped. Of course, he has borrowed money that is not small, who is not angry if the debtor runs away without such responsibility?
By the way, the blue-eyed man only replied to him with one short word ‘Ya’ when he sent a message to return home. Hannah's days go by without her messages or calls, don't get me wrong, instead Hannah expects. But Louis looks very calm and believes in Hannah, if in the end Hannah will still return. Maybe Louis has found another dancer who is more interested in replacing Hannah. Well, he hopes the reality is like that. That way he can return to his old job, as a dancer ‘baya’.
“Kak”
Flinched from her daydream, Hannah turned to see Haikal sitting beside her. “Ya?”
“Mother called you to eat”
“Later. I want to be here first”
Silent. Years of living in the city make Hannah miss the sunyinya countryside especially at night. Where he passed the night quietly, without peddling parts of his body to be seen many pairs of eyes ‘lapar’.
“Omong-by the way, thanks”
Hannah turned her head, looking at her eldest sister who said the sentence without looking at her. He then smiled. Haikal was a cold boy, rarely showing affection but Hannah knew he was a good boy.
“For?”
“For everything. If there were no Big Brother, our lives would all have been a mess since long”
A wry smile was reflected there, Haikal his sister who almost never said a word of thanks, looked at him as the hero of the family's savior. If he knows what job Hannah really went to support her family here, is the title of hero still Haikal pinned for him?
“I can't wait to graduate and work. I don't want you to bear it yourself. Especially with our complicated family situation due to Dad's debt that like no end”
“Ck, too long! Even if I go to college, I can work. Although maybe the result is not much because part-time, but at least I can use the money to buy my own needs”
“Haikal, Brother does not mind at all if we have to support our family. Instead Brother objected if you go to college while working. Brother is afraid that your focus will be disrupted and cause your grades to drop. You can and can help Brother, but later. Meanwhile, use your energy to help mom and Helga if there is heavy homework”
Haikal turned his head, a few seconds later he nodded.
“Good, smart boy”
“Several days I've seen you focus once on exchanging messages. Is that your lover, sister?”
Hannah gave a smile, then nodded in embarrassment. “Ya”
“Tell how he”
The older brother laughed a little at the enthusiasm of his eldest brother to rotate his sitting position to face him. “Eum..he is very handsome, very good, loves me very much. He helped me a lot in many ways. And more importantly, he accepted me for what” was
“That's lucky. How could he want to be with my dear brother?”
“What did you say? Decile? Here, here let me pinch your lips”
For the next time, Haikal complained because his ears were rent by the Brother. Nothing serious, because the next second they laughed together.

“Jeanno Alexander started his company now with his own hands, without the help of a connection from his father. You must have heard of Thomas Alexander, right?”
Arman nodded. “Yes. Thomas Alexander is a successful businessman who is not only smart but also cold-handed. All the projects he handled were always successful, even he helped many small companies develop”
“Yes. Mr. Thomas was there when the Iris Group had a crisis fifteen years ago. Also when the Lou Group was briefly affected by the global financial world eight years ago. Mr. Thomas was the one who helped the two companies to rise, to the size of it today. And there are countless companies he has helped out there. For five years he and his wife have been living in Sidney”
“He's Jeanno Alexander”'s dad
Arman gaping. Looking at his secretary Ivan, hoping the young man was lying. But Ivan's gesture showed no sign of it. And working with him for almost five years, Arman knew Ivan well. It was impossible for this man to lie or give him any origin information.
“About seven years ago, Mr. Thomas expelled his only son, Jeanno. Make the man leave just by carrying the name Alexander behind his name”
“Why did he expel the only successor of the business?”
Before Ivan answered, he put the map on Arman's table. The one opened by his boss, showed several photos of Jeanno with a woman who was familiar to him.
“Simple, because Jeanno fell in love with a simple girl named Nayara”
As inexhaustible surprise, Arman was made to not blink to see the moment sheet immortalized as a photo. Jeanno with a woman who looks like a woman who Jeanno recently introduced as his wife. A woman named Nayara. Women who have almost 100% similarity to Judith.
“Mr Thomas dislikes Jeanno's choice, citing a less obvious background. Because Nayara was an orphan, Mr. Thomas already had his own choice as Jeanno's companion. And that's where he gives two choices, family or Nayara. Jeanno chose Nayara, making him have to live a life full of simplicity, before gradually pioneering efforts, which gradually grew and developed rapidly. Looks like his father's intelligence is down to Jeanno”
“Jeanno Alexander is a very reclusive figure. Even when his name and company are already big, he is rarely seen coming to important events. Even if it has to come, it will come by itself. The media already know that he is married, but few know the information about his wife”
“Just yesterday, at the Iris Group show Jeanno Alexander came with his wife. The enchanting Lady Nayara Alexander. Even the news appeared in various media, bringing a positive response. Between them happy with Jeanno who began to open, as well as fascinated with the beauty of Nayara”
Arman pensive. So the woman he met that night was really Nayara, Jeanno's wife? Not Judith as he thought? But seeing Jeanno's angry reaction when Arman hurt the woman, it is not impossible that it is true that he is the real Nayara.
“You are sure all this information is correct, Ivan?”
Ivan nodded at a glance. Without having to explain where he steals the information. Arman nodded, then asked Ivan to leave his study.
After Ivan died, Arman breathed a rough breath. His hand loosened the tie that seemed to slash his neck. If the woman is Nayara, it means that she has made a big mistake. His father would have been angry if he had abused Jeanno's wife.
Hah, Arman is really in trouble.
