Substitute Mother

Chapters 77. The Close Call

Mama Rianti's

Callings…

Tyona let out a long breath. The thorny issue of her household made Tyona completely forget that today was the date. The date when the fertile period is over and should be able to conceive if it has been fertilized. Note, for normal women and if fertilized. Because in fact Jeffrey created a distance between himself and his own wife. Let alone having sex, sharing a hug has never been.

Mama Rianti's

4 Missed call(s)

Last night Tyona fell asleep on Jeffrey's back. The man said nothing even though Tyona could feel her body lying next to him as usual. Don't apologize for accusing Tyona who was not, just asking no news. Tyona was sure Jeffrey saw his face, but the man said nothing. Making his chest more tight because for the slightest care, the husband does not care about him.

Mama Rianti's

Callings..

Tyona decided to raise the call. Because I was sure that if I didn't get picked up, Mama Rianti would keep calling her. Or worse, come to their apartment.

“One time, anywhere, Anna?”

“Sorry, Mom. I'm out of the bathroom”

There was a faint ‘Ck’ Tyona could hear. “Then how did it go?”

“I.. “ Tyona lip biting. “I didn't do the test, Ma”

“Why? Isn't this the date?”

Tyona. For moments like this the floor is much more interesting than looking the other way. “We were both busy so there was no time for it, so I did not take the test because it was definitely a negative” result

“Jeez, Anna. If it goes on like this how will you be pregnant? It's the same as wasting time. And again it's your duty to serve Jeffrey, or perhaps you refuse to be touched?”

Tyona's head throbbed and her ears were hot. Why do Mother and Son like to accuse him of baselessness?

“Mama don't want to know, you have to call Mama quickly to tell the test results. Want to be positive or negative, do not let there be a wasted month just because of your busyness”

“... or because of your arrogance, Anna”

The phone was unilaterally disconnected. Making Tyona at least breathe a sigh of relief as the spicy call was over. If only her mother-in-law knew what her favorite son was doing. Is Rianti going to defend Jeffrey?

Tyona looked at Jeffrey who was still asleep. Her husband keeps the night, so he lets the man still sleep. Maybe Tyona will replace the schedule of other doctors watch the night as well. At least being busy at the Hospital will make him a little sidetracked from household tempests. Because honestly he's still not ready to talk to Jeffrey. So even if it sounds cowardly, let it dodge, for a while.

After setting up her guard uniform and other Jeffrey needs, Tyona leaves for the hospital. Without peeping Jeffrey's forehead, without saying goodbye.

Judith grabbed her phone in the bag. Trying to dial Renatta's number but ending in a busy tone. Though he was preparing to interfere with Renatta all-out. Infuriated, Judith turns around, deciding to return to Aera's school.

Just as his hand was stretched out towards the door knob, the sound of a bell rang out from outside. Makes him jump in shock. At first he thought that Renatta or Hannah had come. Making him barely open the door before thinking, why would his friends squeeze the bell if they could enter with a passcode?

Intrigued, Judith chose to head to the intercom to see who was coming. And. his body was so limp when he saw whose face was plastered on the door of his apartment.

Arman Mahendra's.

The man looked upset that the bell had not been responded to. He rang the bell, this time brutally making the tone never stop echoing in the apartment. Judith was still struck by overwhelming fear until her body trembled, when Arman was no longer focused on the bell, but was busy fiddling with the passcode of her apartment.

With all the remaining energy, Judith immediately locked the door from the inside. Avoid Arman if only the combination of numbers that the man entered was correct. Judith could not remember whether she had ever told Arman the number, vaguely yes, considering she shared anything with him before. Judith just hopes Arman forgets his passcode, or one of his friends has replaced it without her knowledge. But the second one is clearly impossible, because Judith clearly managed to get in with a combination of old numbers.

When the tone showing the combination of numbers entered was successful, Judith's legs could no longer support her body. Plus a door knob that moves from the outside, indicating Arman's attempt to get inside.

Judith smothered her own mouth, still with her body leaning behind the door, holding it open even if the passcode combination was correct. The tears escaped, and Judith was scared to death! he could only pray, hoping that Arman would get tired of opening the door and leave.

Luckily, ten minutes passed, it seemed like Arman was giving up. One pound before Arman lifts his foot. Making Judith whose body is already limp and shaking violently, relieved not to play. He had to wait about an hour to get out of the apartment. To make sure that Arman is really gone.

Judith did not dare to imagine, if only she had opened the door sooner and met with Arman. What will it be like?

Still reminded of the incident last afternoon that left her heart still beating violently if remembered, Judith was still unsure if this dinner idea was the right thing. But not his capacity to refuse, especially Jeanno's reason is reasonable enough to accept Arman's invitation. This is his last chance to prove to Arman that he is Nayara. If Judith dodges, won't Arman be suspicious later?

“Arman must have investigated my background. He wondered if my wife really looked the same as Judith. As soon as he got the facts, and saw the huge resemblance between Nayara and you, he must have thought that you were Nayara. And considering that I had a good relationship with his father, he did not want the news that he was harassing my wife to the ears of Mr. Robert. Therefore he wants to apologize, as well as make sure with his own eyes that you are not the person he is looking for”

So Jeanno explained when they were on their way to the restaurant where they were going to have dinner. According to Jeanno, Arman came alone without his wife. Because of Winona's busyness in his artistic activities.

“Let me do the talking, you just need to respond as necessary and. maybe skinship as a sweetener?”

Judith nodded. Jeanno's car arrived at the restaurant. Makes her remember the nervousness that Judith felt when she wanted to come to the Iris Group event. It's just that now it's much, much more horror.

“You believe me, right?”

Judith lifted her face. Seeing how the pair of twin marbles looked at him wildly. Jeanno seemed calm and the man always assured her that he would take care of her. The big hand was stretched out, grabbing his fingers over the thigh.

“Suppose there is an eleventh point that sounds.The first party will protect the second party during the agreement period takes place”.
