The Substitute

A sweet story

"Yank... What are you craving? Want to eat something again?" ask Ozan to Ameera. They're on their way home.

"I want the kebab that time Mas.." replied Ameera. His face had even sparkled just by remembering the taste of the kebab that he thought was so good.

"Yes, we're there, yes..."

Ozan also drove a car to a kebab outlet that became Ameera's favorite. Along the way Ameera wrestles spoiled in Ozan's arms. He no longer hid his feelings. Not long after, they reached their destination.

"How much do you buy?"

"Three." answered Ameera briefly.

"Three..ty?" Ozan. He wanted to ridicule Ameera who had bought thirty midnight kebabs.

"You ledekin me again huh? I said I'm greedy."

Ozan chuckled, very worried about Ameera's behavior.

"No yank. You don't eat alone, but three." Ozan tries to persuade Ameera who starts sulking again.

"Well, that's tofu. Don't be surprised if I eat a lot." said Ameera later.

Congratulations to me, it could be messed up if he snags again.

Ozan and Ameera get out of the car and book Ameera's favorite kebab. He talked a lot with the kebab maker. Because of their fellow Turks, they chatted in Turkish, making Ameera gawk for not understanding what they were talking about. His eyes only moved alternately looking at Ozan and the kebab maker.

"Yank you why?" ask Ozan.

"I don't know what you're talking about." replied Ameera.

"Hehe, I'll teach you Turkish."

After a while of waiting, the kebab of Ameera's order became. Ozan bought a lot of meat and chicken flavored kebabs. After that they went home. During the journey Ameera had eaten four kebabs until he felt full.

That hungry what doyan yank?

Elsewhere Ramon and Dina are having dinner at a restaurant. Ever since knowing the status of the relationship between Dina and Rangga, Ramon has been aggressively approaching Dina. After they finished eating, they chatted at length.

"Din, Rangga is angry if I know I often take you out?" ask Ramon.

"Why be angry, brother... I'm not Rangga's man." replied Dina.

Ramon could see the sorrow on Dina's face. He knew very well Dina was expecting love from a Rangga.

"Can I ask you something?" said Ramon.

"Ask me..."

"But don't get angry, do you?"

"Depends brother Ramon asks what." Ramon chuckled at Dina's words.

"Indeed, Rangga is as loving as that huh, same Ameera?" ask Ramon later.

Ramon is very curious about Rangga who can even do anything for Ameera. Even until now Rangga still sent people to guard Ameera.

"Ameera is everything to Rangga. Even Rangga is able to do anything impossible for Ameera. I have nothing against Ameera in Rangga's heart."

Ramon clasped Dina's hand tightly, he felt that Rangga was already unfair to Dina. There was a sad feeling seeing Dina who always looked glum.

"What keeps you waiting for Rangga?"

Dina smiled at Ramon's question.

"Because I saw how to look after Ameera. There are not many people like Rangga in loving someone. When Ameera was betrothed to Kak Ozan, Rangga could have taken Ameera away. But he didn't do it. He does not want to be selfish. Rangga let Ameera go with Ozan, even though it hurt him. He was even very good at hiding his feelings in front of Ameera and pretending to like me. That's why I decided to wait for Rangga to open her heart to me." said Dina at length while wiping the tears that wet her cheeks.

Ramon was also moved to hear Dina's explanation. He felt defeated away from Rangga who he thought was only a child.

"But isn't that fair to you, Din?"

"That's not fair to Rangga either, is it?"

Ramon was stunned to hear Dina's words. He began to understand everything.

"Because of Om Hendri's mistake, Rangga can only be a friend to Ameera. Om Hendri makes a gap between Rangga and Ameera. That's not fair to Rangga."

"You're right, Din."

After the long talk, Ramon took Dina for a walk to the night market. They also tried a few games there. It was then that Ramon saw the other side in a Dina. During this time he saw Dina as a teenage girl with adult nature. However, that night Dina transformed into a spoiled child figure.

Dina several times laughed out loud, shouting while riding the windmill rides and then turned off the lights, so they hung up there. Dina feels different when she is with Ramon. Something he never felt while with Rangga.

"Fear, Brother. Serem knows.." reject Dina.

"Udah, come!" Ramon pulls Dina's hand towards a haunted house, before buying a ticket to enter the house.

Upon entering the house, they were greeted by several ghosts who tried to scare them. Dina had to hide her face in Ramon's chest several times, making Ramon anxious.

"That's a man, Din. not a real ghost" said Ramon.

"Serem knows, it's his pot doing it again..."

"Poji? Pocong means?"

"It does not need to be called his full name" said Dina who was increasingly attached to Ramon's body so afraid.

"Hahaha.you funny know."

After being satisfied surrounding the haunted house, they also came out of there. Although feeling scared, Dina really enjoyed her walk with Ramon that night.

"Thank you, yes brother. I'm really happy today." said Dina as they were on their way home.

"Together, Din. I'm glad you're happy." said Ramon.

Ozan was sitting on a bed with a laptop on his lap. He was busy working even though it was 10 p.m.

Ameera just came out of the bathroom. Suddenly his stomach felt nauseous, he ran back into the bathroom. Ozan who saw it immediately closed the laptop and approached Ameera.

"Huueeekkk..."

Ameera spewed out the food she had just eaten. Ozan immediately massaged his nape.

"You why puke yank? Her stomach hurts, huh?" asked Ozan who started panicking to see Ameera vomiting.

"It doesn't hurt... The nausea medication from the doctor ran out. That's why I'm vomiting again."

"I'm calling the doctor home, okay?"

"No need, Mas. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

"Then we check in tomorrow to the doctor, yes. You've never been to a doctor again" Ozan said later.

"Yes, Mas... I'm gonna change my clothes. Stench is vomited."

Ameera changes clothes, while Ozan goes down to the kitchen to make him warm milk. After he finished making the milk, he returned to the room and sat on the bed waiting for Ameera.

"This is yank..." Ozan stretched out his hand to call out to Ameera who had just finished changing clothes. Ameera immediately climbed into bed and dropped her body in her husband's arms.

"Drink milk first." he said, handing over his homemade chocolate milk. Ameera drank it with a single gulp.

"Thank you, Mas..."

"Get her belly?" ask Ozan.

"Lumayan."

Ozan hugged Ameera again and then did his favorite activity, peeping every part of Ameera's face. For some reason, Ozan was so fond of doing so, Ameera's innocent face had become an opium to him.

"Mas..I'm sorry I did..."

"You're why, yank. All night long apologies keep. I'm not angry with you."

Ameera cried again remembering what she had done to her husband all this time. Especially because Ozan is so patient in dealing with his strange behavior. Ozan wiped Ameera's tears by licking her.

"Asin knows.." Ozan said in a pair of queues.

"You're a slob, Mas."

"What's so dirty, baby? no, not."

Ozan laid Ameera down and hugged her under the blanket.

"I miss you." - Ameera.

Hadeehhh where is this boy. So long ago for the first time I missed.

"I miss you too, Yank." said Ozan, who tightened his arms. They also kissed warmly. For the first time since marriage Ameera shows her feelings for Ozan shamelessly and with prestige.

They also return to do what they have rarely done because of the misunderstood drama that occurred between them. Early in the day, due to exhaustion Ameera was sound asleep with her innocent body in Ozan's arms.
