The Substitute

A romance without love ?

Ozan is in the courtyard of the Ameera campus. He contacted Ameera but Ameera did not answer his phone. He also went around looking for Ameera to and fro with his car tracing every road on campus.

For a long time he went around until finally his eyes caught the figure of Ameera, who was sitting straight while leaning against a large tree in the garden. With Dina and her two friends whom Ozan met when Ameera went missing in the woods a few months ago.

"Ameera.!"'s search...!" Ozan's voice shouting Ameera's name made Ameera jump in shock. Ameera searched for the source of the voice and found Ozan standing from a distance not so far away.

"That's your husband Ameera." Riri looked at Ozan there.

"I go home first, yeah..." Ameera grabbed her little backpack and stood up and walked over to Ozan who was waiting for her there.

"Be careful on the road!" dina.

Ozan grabs Ameera's shoulder and then kisses her forehead when Ameera is right in front of her. He opened the car door for Ameera.

Ozan drove his car out of the campus leaving Dina and two other people who were still chatting in the park.

Along the way Ameera kept quiet, ignoring Ozan who was beside her.

"You why the hell, I've been in cuekin since?" Ozan starts a conversation breaking the silence.

"Who cuekin you? No!" said Ameera who set her eyes out the window.

"Call not answered, I chat in read doang not reply, that's what's the name try?" Ozan started to protest.

"I'm lazy again."

"Yes, but don't do it, honey. I'm wandering around campus looking for you. Good thing I saw. "

"Why don't you go home first?" ask Ameera ketus.

"You go home with you. If you're not with me, who are you going home with?"

"Bodo. " Hearing Ameera's curmudgeonly answer did not leave Ozan shocked. Because Ameera is used to acting judes to him.

"You want to eat first, don't you?"

"Eat it at home. I don't want to eat out. "

"Jutek is so cute."

Arriving at home, Ameera headed straight for the room regardless of Ozan. While Ozan just realized the strange gurgle on Ameera. He immediately followed Ameera to the room.

That's a kid why? He's so weird. Not usually.

At night Ameera sleeps faster than usual to avoid Ozan. After dinner, he went straight to the room, while Ozan as usual would be in the study room until his eyes were sleepy.

Ozan glanced at the clock on his wrist. Time has shown ten o'clock at night. Ozan stopped his activities and headed to the room.

Arriving in the room, he found Ameera already wrapped in a blanket. Ozan immediately went into the bathroom and changed into his pajamas. After the ritual was finished, he lay down beside Ameera.

He glanced at Ameera whose position was behind him. Ozan hugged Ameera from behind.

"Darling... sleeping, huh? " spoiled whisper in Ameera's ear. But Ameera did not flinch.

Ozan clutches Ameera's body affectionately. Ameera had actually woken up, but she pretended to be asleep to avoid Ozan. His heart was still very upset at Naura's words this afternoon which caused Ameera to avoid Ozan all day.

Ozan continued to shower every part of Ameera's face with a gentle kiss until Ameera finally gave up on acting out her sleep. He opened his eyes slowly. A sweet meaningful smile was present on Ozan's face. Without permission he landed a kiss on Ameera's lips. Realizing that Ameera did not return her kiss, she let go.

"Darling... Why are you?"

Ameera simply replied with a shake, puzzling Ozan.

"You have a problem again? You've been quiet since."

"I'm fine." answered Ameera briefly.

"Are you angry with me?"

"No!"

"You know, I miss you so much." whispered Ozan in Ameera's ear.

He kissed Ameera again and this time Ameera kissed him back. They also dissolve in a deeper friendly kiss, while Ozan's hands have explored everywhere.

As Ameera begins to run out of breath, Ozan releases her. Ozan was no longer able to withstand the turmoil in him and immediately pounced on Ameera. Until the early hours of the morning, Ozan was still very excited even though Ameera was very tired. But Ozan doesn't seem to care. He only gave Ameera a break of rest a few minutes and then returned to attack him making Ameera not strong anymore.

"I was tired mas. "whispered in Ozan's ear as he was about to start his action back somehow for how many times.

"One more time, dear." Ozan pleaded with the eleventh face possible.

"I feel like I've been crushed, I'm not strong anymore." Ameera's outspoken whimper made Ozan unselfish. He also stepped down from his position which is still above Ameera.

"Yes, you rest." Hugging Ameera's tiny body and kissing her forehead. While Ameera was still breathing hard, she closed her eyes so tired she faced Ozan.

"I'm sorry, honey. If it's the same you feel like continuing. I'm a pijitin, yeah...!"

Ozan also massaged Ameera's body that felt crumpled due to being overwhelmed by it. He gently massaged all parts of Ameera's body until Ameera fell asleep.

Towards dawn Ameera awoke from her sleep with Ozan holding her from behind. Still with her innocent body covered only in blankets. He moved Ozan's hand that was coiled over his stomach. Ameera grabbed her bathrobe and walked to the bathroom. The pain in his body was reduced because Ozan massaged him until he fell asleep.

Ameera stood in front of a large mirror in the bathroom. He took a little of his bathrobe. There are some red traces left by Ozan there. Ameera then turned on the shower and stood underneath, letting the water wash over her body.

Back ringing in his ear the words of Naura who asked him to release Ozan from the marriage they had without love. He recalled Ozan's words the first time they met.

Ozan says he has someone he loves very much and that is Naura, a very beautiful and perfect girl who, when compared to him, Ameera feels nothing.

He also slept with me not for love, but just as his lustful lover right? How could he move me every night without love. Inner Ameera

Remembering all that made Ameera feel claustrophobic. It is this bitter reality that must now be swallowed by Ameera. He cried for the first time under the rushing water along with his weeping stuffing.

*Why dad forced me to marry him. I see it now. His girlfriend Sudsh is back and she's gonna leave me for that woman.
