TerLove (Love After Wedding)

You will never be replaced

Two months passed.

And Anas was still in that dark room. And today, he was transferred to the basement. His hands and feet are no longer shackled because he is currently locked in custody like a criminal.

His body is now thin dry because it is only fed once every two days, that too with small portions. His clothes are very shabby because last Peter gave him a change of clothes last month. Not a decent shirt, but a cloth that has been torn in some parts.

"Can I have a clean change of clothes and prayer equipment?" Anas spoke to the man sitting on the chair facing him.

"We'll see." The answer was indifferent though it was actually rather touched. The other side of his heart was impressed by Anas' attitude, who was still thinking about worship when his condition was concerning.

"Please help, Mom. I want to face Him in a holy state. No need for new clothes, the important thing is worth wearing and clean."

"Hemmm.." growling.

Anas leaned against the wall that locked him up. Tears escaped just flooding his face. His thoughts were related to the figure of the wife he missed so much. Especially now that Cantika is pregnant with her child. That worry is growing. He was afraid that the crazy man would do anything to hurt them.

"I should be by his side right now. He must need me badly. Oh my God, please protect them. Give us a chance to get together again."

Secretly the burly man watched Anas. His heart was filled. Once again the sense of pity on the prisoner appeared.

A man in a dark blue shirt is entering a villa. His steps continued to swing up the stairs. His long legs went down the floor until he reached a room. He touched a book in the closet. Not to see or read it, but just to hold it.

In the old place of the book there are several buttons. The man punched out a few digits that only he and a few trusted people knew. No need to wait long, the closet was open like a door. He went in there, which was a small room. Keep stepping down the stairs connected to a room. And the closet? Automatic self-closing and self-locked.

"Boss." Said the burly man while bowing respectfully.

The squinty man sat in a chair facing a room more akin to a holding cell. While the man inside was launching a sharp gaze.

"Peter, how long are you going to keep me here?" walk and hold the iron bars.

The squinty guy just smirked. Shortly after, his voice sounded again. "Maybe until Lo rotted in this place. How are you, Pineapple? I think Lo's getting messy. But good, I look at it."

"You need to be treated by a psychiatrist! Your mind is not like a normal, healthy person."

"Whatever, I don't need criticism and advice Lo. I'm just here to ask for my blessing. I'm going to ask Cantika to stop again. Good right, my idea?!" scary but annoying.

"Bas crazy, you think my wife would be willing to marry you?" voice rising.

"In the eyes of the world, she is a widow. I'm free to decetin him. Pregnancy, it's no problem. I could've taken the baby." Say while stroking the chin.

"Don't dare do that! Don't ever touch my wife and son, asshole!" clamor.

Peter was still relaxed. "But for a while, I still need Lo's son as my way deketin Cantika. Later after I marry him, maybe the innocent baby that is still in his stomach, I will destroy. Haha...."

"No, you can't do that! Please don't hurt them."

Peter is still broken. While the men standing beside him, were now looking at him in horror. He just found out that his boss is really a psychopath.

"Timing time is over." Glancing at the watch in his hand. "Gue has an appointment to make dinner at Papi Permana's house. So, I have to be prepared so that my appearance is not shy. Prospective son-in-law of rich people in addition to equally rich, must also be neat." Staring cynically and demeaningly at the man in custody.

"You may indeed be a man from among the people and also handsome. Unfortunately, you are not worthy of respect. Your attitude is really a big zero. I'm sure Cantika will never want to come back to you, even if I'm really dead."

"Bad, you're so arrogant. We'll see, Cantika will be mine first." His eyes were sharpened and red lit.

"Why angry? Do you agree with what I said? You're not confident?"

"Much talk. Whatever you think, I don't care. I am sure I will never back down. Cantika should be mine. Catch that!" Get up from his seat.

"Never touch let alone hurt my wife and child, keep that in mind!" said Anas did not lose fierce.

Peter was upset. His hands are clenched strong. "Fabian, bring him here!"

"Good, Boss." The burly man obeyed Peter's orders despite his doubts.

Anas was dragged from there and faced down Peter's feet.

"Make him stand up!" her word.

Fabian forced Anas to get up and hold his hands firmly so that he could do nothing. Peter immediately showered him with punches and kicks in the face and stomach.

"Poor but belagu. Rasain how angry is a ruler!"

"Aaa.." cried Anas who could not resist.

"Gue will never want to lose to anyone let alone the same useless guy like Lo!" One more raw bogem was launched right at the corner of Anas' lips, to let out fresh blood.

"Boss, enough. Don't waste energy, don't the Boss have to be ready to go to the prospective in-laws' house?" Fabian.

"In a moment, I'm not satisfied." Still attacked brutally.

"Boss, let me just beat him all out. Boss better get home." Persuade Fabian.

Peter finally stopped his action. The man left with breath. "Bian, take care of him properly!" the last words spoken before completely disappeared from there.

Fabian put Anas back in the cage. The man stared intently at the bewok man.

"You want to hit me too? Is it just because he's your boss, then you'll obey all his orders even if it's wrong?" anas said in a weak but stressed voice.

"For now I want to be kind to you. Just this time."

The burly man sat back on the chair, having locked the human cage first. Anas looked at him in wonder. There are a lot of questions in his head. Why is the treatment of the guard suddenly softer?

**

Tonight Peter and his father are sitting opposite Cantika and Mr. Permana in the dining room. Riri and her mother accidentally did not attend because they were reluctant to meet face to face with the playboy.

For Mr. Permana, this is a dinner between business associates. As for Peter, this is a special dinner that brings two families together. Cantika himself did not know if the slender man was coming. His mother and half-brother had not told him this. Yes, they may have forgotten.

Mr. Permana and the man's father were squeaky, busy talking about business. Even after eating, the two went to the study.

Cantika immediately finished her lousy dinner.

"Well, wait. I'll talk to you first." Prevent Peter when the woman is about to stand up.

"What?" tanyanya lazy.

"I want to show you something." Take out a small box from inside his suit pocket, then open it. The man held out a diamond ring and said, "Will you marry me?"

Cantika had a very upset face. Maybe the guy proposed to her. He replied with a trembling voice restraining the anger.

"Are you crazy? I have a husband and I am pregnant. I don't want to marry anyone. Understand?"

"But I love you so much. You are now a widow anyway. Anas is not in this world. What's wrong with me changing positions to make him your husband? I want to protect you and your son. Don't you believe in the same...." Not finished talking but it's been cut.

"Make me, Mas Anas is alive. He will always be in my heart until I die. Don't ever wish that you could replace him. From now on, don't ever show your face in front of me!" Cantika got up from her seat and stepped in a hurry.

"Wait, Ika." Peter kept the jewelry box back. He soon walked after Cantika. His hand held the woman's arm.

"Lepasin, don't ever touch me!" clamor.

"Please, I don't mean your heartache. I just want to protect you and your baby."

"No need, I don't need any of that. Leasin!" still rebellious.

At that time Mr. Permana and Peter's father appeared. They seem confused about what happened.

"Cantika, what's wrong? Why are you screaming like that?" asked Mr. Permana a bit panicked.

"But, from now on don't let him come to this house again. I don't want to see him." Tears as they pass.

"Om, this is just a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to hurt Cantika." Peter tried to defend himself.

"Peter, what have you done? Don't embarrass Daddy!" The man glared.

"No, Dadd. I don't do rude things."

"Sir Permana, sorry for this unfortunate incident. We're welcome home, thanks for the dinner invitation. Please apologize on behalf of my son." The middle-aged squinty man felt bad.

"I'm sorry for Cantika's attitude. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way. Right now Cantika is pregnant, so her feelings are more sensitive and irritable or offended."

"Om, I'm saying goodbye. Sorry, I didn't mean to make Cantika sad at all." Peter bowed respectfully.

"It doesn't have to be that way. It must have been a misunderstanding." Mr. Permana patted Peter on the shoulder.

The two narrow-eyed men also left the house.

Mr. Permana followed his daughter into the room. The man entered after asking permission first. Now he sits next to his son on the sofa.

"Son, what's the matter until you cry and get angry at Peter?"

"He was presumptuous because he dared to propose to me to be his wife. I'm married and pregnant." Still crying.

"The way is not too wrong, it's just the timing is not right. Papi knows how you feel. But Papi reckon, Peter just wanted to express his feelings. He didn't mean to bother you."

Cantika said, "Why is Papi defending him?"

"It's not like that, Papi just wants to straighten this out. If you don't like it, just refuse. No need to get angry like that."

"I don't want to see him anymore."

"Yes, Papi knows. Now you just rest. Maybe Papi's grandson is cape because his mother is angry constantly." Mr. Permana rubbed his son's head with a smile. He also came out of the room.

Cantika stroked her stomach which was no longer flat. "Sorry, Son. Mom accidentally made you cape. It's all because of Om Reseh. Good thing you have a good Papi. Your dad would be happy if this moment could see us."

He continued to chatter as if talking to his son who was in the womb. Sometimes his face is sad when remembering the figure of the husband he always missed. Until whenever Anas will never be replaced.

"I just asked her to marry me." Peter was in the car.

"Basar stupid, you should think dong. The cantika had not been a widow for long, after all she was pregnant. Do you want to have a stepson?" The voice of the man next to him.

"No problem. I really want to be Cantika's husband. Daddy agrees, right?!"

"Daddy will support you as long as you are serious. Don't be like yesterday. You didn't even marry his half-sister Cantika. That's bashful."

"Seriously, Dadd. That's why I broke up with Riri. I love Cantika."

"Ok, but don't rush. Find the right time to propose!"

Peter nodded his head. If you think about it, he was wrong. Just remember Cantika was angry. Looks like the playboy is not willing to wait any longer, to immediately have the wife of Anas.
