The Substitute

Tight guard

Since learning that his father was the mastermind behind the accident that killed Ameera's mother, a huge sense of guilt grew in Rangga's heart. He vowed to thwart any attempt by his father to harm Ameera, who was the target of his father's revenge. He promised himself that he would protect Ameera with his own life at stake. Rangga knew his father's men would always lurk Ameera. That was the reason why Rangga never let Ameera out of the house by herself. Even to the public toilet, Rangga kept an eye on him.

When Hendri learns Rangga is protecting Ameera, he becomes so furious that his relationship with Rangga deteriorates. However, due to the trauma caused by Ratna's death, Hendri did not want the same thing to happen to Rangga. Don't let Rangga become a victim for protecting Ameera just like what happened to Ratna while protecting Ameera.

Therefore, Hendry forbade his men to act if Rangga was with Ameera. Rangga knew his father's men would not dare to mess around if Rangga was with Ameera. So that Rangga did not let Ameera alone out of the house without escort.

Time goes on, slowly but surely Rangga's friendship with Ameera grows love little by little in Rangga's heart. Until guilt, affection as a friend turns into love so deep. All the events that happened were kept by Rangga alone. He never said it to anyone. Rangga bore his own cause, until one day Rangga realized that he had fallen in love with Ameera, then Rangga told his mother about everything.

Knowing the harsh reality Aliyah was only able to cry. But for Rangga's sake, Aliyah tried her hardest. Not wanting his mother to be involved, Rangga asked him to keep pretending not to know anything in front of Hendri.

On the other hand, Hendri had just received a report from his spies that Ozan Chandra Jaya would be married to Rudianto Hutomo's son. Getting this information is good news for him.

"It's very good news, one pat two flies will die" said Hendri with a sneaky grin.

"Their wedding is three days away, sir" said Jack, Hendri's confidant.

"Alright, prepare a big attack, I don't want any more failures. I want their lives before the wedding" said Hendri, who was wiping the gun in his hand with a handkerchief.

"Good sir. "

"Rudianto and Hasan, you two will know who you are dealing with." murmured Hendri accompanied by a sly laugh.

The next day...

Today Ozan and Ameera are going to a jewelry store, the ring that was specially ordered for their wedding which will be held in two days is ready. As usual, they left with strict escorts. Ameera and Ozan sat in the back seat, while Ramon sat in the front seat, with a driver.

Ameera has since snorted in annoyance as Ozan continues to tease her. Teasing Ameera who is still innocent becomes a pleasure in itself for Ozan. Things that look strange and ridiculous to Ramon.

Ozan continues to tease Ameera not because he likes Ameera, but because his heart injury still feels so painful because of Naura, making Ameera an outlet to comfort him. Only Ramon knew that. And condemn the stupidity of the boss and his best friend.

"I'm planning a honeymoon for us after marriage" Ozan said

"Who would want to honeymoon with you?" sahut Ameera is upset.

"Hmmm. You can't resist, you have to be a good wife." smiled thinly.

"Don't dream! You won't get anything from me. "

"really? How about I tell your father, at least teach him what his son is to his future husband?" With a little threatening. Ameera, who heard her father's name, was increasingly upset.

"You're threatening me to use my father?"

" let's just say, your father is very dear to me. " smiled triumphantly while moving his eyebrows up and down.

Ameera was silent for a while, until they finally reached the jewelry store.

When they finished, they left the jewelry store. Without anyone realizing, something big is about to happen.

On the way home, Ozan who was very annoying becomes quiet. There was an unpleasant feeling disturbing his heart but I don't know what. Suddenly he remembered the time yesterday when Ramon met him, carrying the complete data about Rangga.

Flashbacks

"Nih complete data of your bini candidate friends!" ramon said, handing a brown envelope to Ozan.

"His name is Rangga Agung Darmawan. " Ozan's eyes suddenly widened to hear Rangga's last name.

"It's not wrong, is it, Ram?"

"That's a picture of her."

Ozan took a picture, and it was this man who met him a few days ago.

"Is he the son of Hendri Agung Darmawan? After I Hendri Agung Darmawan only have one daughter, right?"

"It looks like Rangga is the son of his mistress. Maybe they're hiding their wedding meetings. No smell of media.

I can get this info from the school. Rangga same Ameera one school, even one class. According to the information I got, Rangga is the only close friend of Ameera. "

Ozan rubbed his face rough. Why are there so many puzzles.

"Is Rangga part of Hendri's plan to attack the father through Ameera? But why does Rangga seem to be so protective of Ameera. Even Rangga had threatened me, will take Ameera away, if until I neglect to look after Ameera. Did his father have a huge grudge against Ameera's father? Is Ameera's life really as threatened as Rangga told me?"

"That's the weird one, after I investigated, Rangga was like Ameera's shadow. He followed Ameera everywhere. If Rangga is part of Hendri's plan, they should have succeeded in the past, and the important point, while with Rangga, Ameera is still fine, right? That means Rangga has been protecting Ameera all this time."

Ozan massaged his forehead with a finger, while reading the data about Rangga.

"But why did Rangga protect Ameera to the extent?" Ramon asked increasingly confused.

Ozan was able to guess, what happened between Rangga and Ameera.

"Rangga loves Ameera, the reason Rangga came to me, was to warn me to be more careful. Rangga must know, his father is also ambitious to drop CJG through me. If I get married to Ameera, wouldn't Hendri's revenge move be easier?" Ozan explained later,

"Rangga can't keep following Ameera when she's my wife, right? That's what Rangga was afraid of. If you can't follow Ameera anywhere anymore."

Ramon just gaping to hear a long explanation from Ozan.

"It seems I understand what he means by his misfortune being a fortune to me. Because he's Hendri's son, so he can't have Ameera."

"So from now on you have to be extra careful and tighten your escort to the same Ameera." Sahut Ramon's.

Flashbac off

Ozan noticed some cars escorting him. He tightened his guard in light of Rangga's warning some days ago.
