The Substitute

The Substitute
Still in terror



Ameera sat pensively in her campus mosque. He has just carried out his duty to the creator. Ameera's sense of calm and peace was again disturbed by the disturbance stemming from her husband's past. When Naura returns, she sends him a message along with a photo of him with Ozan.


"Ozan mine. He loves me." Fill in Naura's message.


Ameera simply read without replying. Then block the Naura number.


Who cares about you, you evil demon. Inner Ameera once finished blocking Naura's contact number.


"Aaarrrrrgghhhhh was so insolent. He thought I was going to give up terrorizing him, just because he blocked me? Haha wait for the little boy. Ozan will be back for me soon." Naura said after not getting Ameera's phone number again.


Since the appearance of Naura between Ozan and Ameera, their relationship has become tenuous. Naura cunningly managed to pit the couple. It even managed to create a barrier between them. Ameera even thinks Ozan still loves Naura and will return to Naura if he gets tired of her. While Ozan thinks Ameera's changes continue to avoid him because there are other causes. That was how the misunderstanding drama between the two kept going, due to the lack of communication between them.


Ameera came out of the mosque to go to the library. Suddenly, Dina approached him.


"Ameera... Where are you going?"


"Eh, Din. I have a job." Forced smile.


"Your face is pale Ameera, are you sick?"


"No. Ordinary aja. I went to the library first. " Ameera walked leaving Dina there. While Dina looked at Ameera whose face was very pale.


You're right, Din! I'm ill. My heart is sick. My husband snatched away a woman from his past. Ah no, no, I'm the usurper. It's only natural that he took it back.


Ameera has arrived at the library. He was busy looking for some books. As soon as he found the book, he immediately headed for the empty table by the window. Until finally the afternoon changed later Ameera realized from her preoccupation with reading books.

Ozan and Ramon are at a cafe. Since these few days Ozan has completely lost his work spirit. Until Ramon invited him to hang out at the cafe to eliminate his saturation.


"Zan's... You're actually the same Ameera why the hell?" Ramon asked while sipping his coffee.


"Don't know. He's changed a lot. I think distant me. Sometimes he gets angry for no reason. Don't want to be close to me. Yesterday he didn't realize midnight asked me to hug. When I hugged him, he pushed me and kicked me out of the room. Not me as a whole?" Ozan's story at length makes Ramon shake his head.


"Lu's wrong the same time he's the one you don't know"


"What?"


"Where do I know. He's your bini." Said Ramon while eating his fries.


"So what do I do, Ram?"


"Mending you ngaku same bini you. " Suggestion Ramon.


"What's my idea?"


"Yes you said you love her."


"Well... Who is love?" Ozan denies


"Don't kayak abg lu. I'm so bucin still don't want to ngaku you. "


"Is there any other advice than that?" Trying to evade Ramon's orders, who always tells him to confess his love to Ameera. While its prestige is as high as the mountain.


"Mending you bullshit same bini you. Yeah, you throw away your prestige first to apologize first. You can pick him up at his college. Lu ajakin dated back then" Ramon recalled Ameera and Ozan's impromptu date at the top which was a real hassle.

Ameera glanced at the clock on her wrist. Time has shown at 4pm. He immediately came out of the library. Usually the driver is in front waiting for him. It's been a few weeks now, it's not Ozan who's picked him up. Ameera always refuses if Ozan offers to pick her up. Finally from then on, Ozan asks the driver to take his place to pick up Ameera.


Ameera was walking near the campus park about to the gate waiting for her driver. Suddenly his head felt throbbing and his gaze was a little blurred. When he was about to fall, a pair of hands caught his body. Ameera tried to sharpen her vision and looked at a man in front of her. His eyes widened in shock at who was before him.


"The...!" Ameera did not believe the figure that was in front of her. He thought he was just hallucinating. But the truth is that the man is indeed Rangga.


"You're sick, huh? You almost fainted. Your face is pale too." Said Rangga who helped Ameera sit on a chair in the park.


"When are you going to Indo? It's not like you're going to be abroad for long, huh? Ask Ameera


"I want to take care of something here. Keep going back there." Rangga smiled sweetly towards Ameera. They talked at length until they forgot about time.


Ozan has been at the campus gate waiting for Ameera. But Ameera didn't show up either. Finally Ozan decided to enter the campus around looking for Ameera. His mind was on the park. He found Ameera with his friends in the park.


After a while, the ozan has arrived at the park. His eyes went around looking for Ameera. Until his eyes caught Ameera sitting on a park chair with a man Ozan knew very well.


"The ladder?" Ozan doesn't believe in his eyesight. "Not Rangga abroad anymore?" Ozan's muttering.


Ozan clenched his hand. His gaze full of jealousy saw his wife sitting there sweetly with another man in the garden.


"So because of this you changed, Ameera. Because Rangga has returned. "inside Ozan is very upset.


Because the jealousy felt through the crown, Ozan went to drive his car away from the campus yard. He felt very disappointed. Plans to mend ties with Ameera are gone. He thought the Ameera change had something to do with Rangga's return.


Ozan drives his car on the road. Sometimes Ozan gets swearing and swearing from other riders.


Rangga returned to Indonesia because he had information from Dina who said Naura came to see Ameera. Dina reported to Rangga everything Dina said when she met Ameera. Including the threat of Naura wanting to get Ozan back.


After being forced by Rangga, Ameera recounted her problems with Ozan in a version that Ameera knew. It managed to make Rangga upset to Ozan.


Finally Ameera decided to go to the campus gate. Perhaps the driver had already come and waited for him there.


But just a few steps, Ameera had fallen backwards. He fainted. Luckily Rangga swiftly caught Ameera's body and took her to his parked car not far from their current location.


In a panic Rangga tried to wake Ameera who was already sitting in the front passenger seat.


"Ameera wake! Open your eyes. Ameeraa...!" Rangga patted Ameera on the cheek, but Ameera did not move in the slightest. Finally Rangga decided to immediately take Ameera to the hospital because her face was very pale. Rangga drove his car in a panic. Even he forgot Dina who was still inside the campus.


The car arrived at the hospital. Rangga carried Ameera to a stretcher prepared by health workers.

Rangga was pacing in front of the IGD room. His worry for Ameera overcame everything. Rangga sat in a long chair, then stood up again and so continued until the doctor who handled Ameera came out of the room. Rangga stood up to the doctor and asked about Ameera's condition.


"Patient husband ?"


" oh no, Doc... Haven't arrived. Maybe on the road. I'm his friend." Rangga told the doctor.
