The Substitute

Weeping Ameera

Next day. Rangga came to pick up Ameera by driving her car.During the trip, Ameera was more silent. Unlike usual, he would chat anything with Rangga. But this time it was different.

A long time ago, when Ameera was feeling sad, Rangga would take her for a walk on the beach. Usually the atmosphere of the beach is able to remove the sadness Ameera.

They walk on the sand on the beach barefoot, Ameera has been pensive since. There was no talk between them, there was only the sound of the waves pounding. Rangga then stood right in front of Ameera, making Ameera step stop. Rangga looked at Ameera trying to find the answer to the gloomy face of her best friend.

"So you don't want a story yet?" rangga asked to break the silence.

Ameera lowered her head, her eyelids were filled with a clear liquid that was trying to keep a little not dripping on her cheeks.

"No need to hold back, if you want to cry mah, cry!" Rangga.

Hearing the sentence, Ameera's defense collapsed instantly. He was crying sobbing. His crying voice sounded so bitter.

Rangga could not bear to see Ameera's state, instantly pulling Ameera's body into his arms. Trying to give her strength by rubbing Ameera's back, occasionally stroking her hair. Rangga swore, it would not be that easy to forgive anyone who had made his beloved girl cry like this.

"Quit everything until there's nothing left" he said.

Ameera's cry became more and more so until a hiccup. He still rested his head on the chest of Rangga's field, hoping to forget his sadness.

" Why the hell? Tell me, who would dare to make you this sad?" asked Rangga who was still tightly hugging Ameera.

"Dad." he replied with a still hiccup.

"You're angry at your father?"

"No"

"Hit? "

"No"

"On the law?"

"No"

"Delivered?"

"No"

"Not seeing me again?"

"Not that. "

Rangga thought for a moment. And a moment later he seemed to understand the problem that Ameera experienced without even being told.

"Well, I think I know. Don't tell me you want to get married! " Ameera replied with a slow nod. Without explained by Ameera, Rangga already knows the problem. Ameera was not a crybaby girl who would cry if it was just a trivial matter.

"Who's the guy?"

"Dad's boss' son. "he replied with a sobbing. Ameera further tightened her hand that was coiled around Rangga's waist. He was sadder to remember it.

Without Ameera noticing, the look on Rangga's face had changed. As very surprised to hear Ameera mention

the boss's son his father.

"The son of your father's boss?" asked Rangga astonishment then let go of his embrace.

"Yes" replied Ameera slowly.

Is there a son in the Chandra Jaya family other than Ozan Chandra Jaya? Inner Proud

"Are you in a match with a boy from the Chandra Jaya Group family?" ask Rangga curiously.

"Do you know the name of the company where you worked?" asked Ameera who was surprised from where Rangga knew the name of the company where his father worked.

Rangga nodded slowly, "I know from the beginning. But... What's the name of that man, who was betrothed to you?" He asked even though there was a hint of confusion on his face.

"Ozzanines. "

Whahuh? Did I hear wrong? But it's impossible! Ozan Chandra Jaya was killed in a car accident 2 years ago. He actually survived the accident. Then they deliberately made the news as if Ozan Chandra Jaya was killed? Batin Rangga was suspicious

"No idea. I just heard them call him Ozan ", said Ameera.

"That's no way Ameera, Ozan Chandra Jaya was killed in a car accident two years ago. "

" What do you mean, Rangga? Mr. Hasan and Ms. Zarima call his name Ozan. "

Then Ozan didn't die in the accident. So they just make people think Ozan's dead.

"Two years ago Ozan Chandra Jaya was reported killed in an accident. The car went into the ravine and exploded." said Rangga.

Ameera is confused by the words of Rangga who said Ozan was dead, but Ozan is still alive and well.

Rangga took the phone in his pants pocket and opened Ozan Chandra Jaya's private instagram account which had long been inactive. He opened one of the pictures of the man and showed it to Ameera.

"Is this the guy?" rangga asked while showing an old photo of Ozan.

"Yes, this is the guy. Do you know him?"

For a moment Rangga's face looks pale, looks like a bulging and surprised.

" No, I just happened to see the news on TV. " Rangga answered the origin."So you're really in a match with Ozan Chandra Jaya?" Rangga wanted to make sure. And again Ameera nodded.

"I don't want to, Rangga. But they forced. I should how? I don't even have the right to talk. Are you gonna let me marry that guy?" Ameera again cried hugging Rangga.

Rangga kissed Ameera's forehead at a glance, rubbing her long, raked hair.

No Ameera! I won't let you marry him.

"Does Ozan agree?" ask Rangga.

"No, he asked his parents to cancel the match. But the great lord and mistress were still willing to betroth us " replied Ameera.

"So Ozan refused?"

"Yes. He also asked me to persuade you, but you know how you are. Nothing can change my decision.

"Emmm... Yes, you calm down. Later I think about the way ", said Rangga who is still trying to calm Ameera.

"I don't want to marry that weird guy. You know, his name just sounds weird. Ozan, which planet is it from?"

Rangga chuckled, "it's a Turkish name, bad kebo. it's not a strange name," said Rangga, patting Ameera's soft eel.

Do you know that Ozan is alive? But he couldn't be quiet if he knew.

"Then you're the weird one! You always call me ugly kebo." said Ameera who started sulking.

"Haha... You are my ugly kebo right? Think about it. You often sleep wherever it is. In class, in the library, in the toilet, right?" ledek Rangga who managed to make Ameera laugh.

They ended up sitting in the sand with their legs crossed. Look at the sun that will soon be setting.

"Rangga, do you think Dad owes them a lot? So it's possible that my father sold me to them to pay off his debt." asked Ameera with unreasonable suspicion.

Rangga. Feeling sorry but also anxious about the innocence of Ameera who had thought her father had a lot of debt to the Chandra Jaya family.

"Not Ameera, not that. If only the matter were that simple, I would give you everything I have to get you out of your father's debt. "

Rangga again tried to calm Ameera by embracing her shoulder and leaning Ameera's head on her shoulder. But his mind drifted everywhere. Trying to straighten the tangled thread that was in his brain. Questions sprung up in Rangga's brain, about how Ozan survived the deadly accident he experienced. While his car exploded in the ravine.

My God, why Ozan Chandra Jaya, is there no other man besides Ozan? Isn't marrying Ozan going to put Ameera's life at risk. What do I have to do to ruin their marriage. I won't let anyone threaten my Ameer's safety. Pride is impending

In the middle of his residence, Rangga was thinking how to thwart Ameera and Ozan's match. At least Rangga was a little relieved because Ameera said Ozan also rejected their matchmaking.

So that Rangga felt he still had a gap to thwart this plan.

I need to talk to Ameera's father. What does it mean to match Ameera to Ozan.
