The Substitute

Morning drama

The cold air in the morning blind that seemed to pierce the bones, making Ameera lazing. He was still under the blanket. Ozan who has been wearing a cocoa shirt and sarong has several times woke his wife who still did not want to wake up from her sleep.

"Yank... Pray first!" Ozan whispered in Ameera's ear.

"Hmmm..."

"Wake up, yank.. hunt through the dawn of time loh.. finished praying, sleep again is okay."

"Still sleepy..."

"Wake up Ameera, I've prepared warm water for you to take a bath."

Finally Ameera tried to rise up against her drowsiness. He dragged his feet into the bathroom with his eyes half closed. Ozan smiled as he shook his head to see Ameera walking with shaky steps and even hit the bathroom door.

"Kayak again sleepwalking yank yank." muttered Ozan in the intermingling puckiness.

After the bath, Ameera felt fresher and not sleepy anymore. They also prayed with Ozan as a priest.

"Yank, when are you taking college leave?" asked Ozan at breakfast.

"Next month, Mom. I still want to go to college." she replied.

"Tok next month anyway. Your stomach is starting to grow. I don't want you to be too tired. Anyway you apply for leave from today. Point!" ozan's emphatic speech made Ameera frown.

"Gallags very..." Ameera wanted to protest, but now she felt she could no longer resist anything her husband said. As programmed in his own brain, whatever Ozan says will be done without much protest. The barbaric Ameera is no more. In the past, before Ozan managed to conquer his heart, he would have a fight with Ozan not even hesitate to raise his fist if the man misspoke.

why am I so bucin...

"Have you heard about Ameera Malika Hutomo?" asked Ozan in a soft voice while mentioning Ameera's full name.

"Yes listen, Mas. Then submit first. That's not exactly in acc, is it?"

"Do I need to talk to Mr. Haris?" Ameera immediately jumped to hear Ozan mention the name of his rector. It could be bad if Ozan met the rector. Ameera had been trying to hide her identity that she was the wife of Ozan Chandra Jaya. Only a few of his friends know. During the uproar of the entire campus discussing the wedding reception of Ozan Chandra Jaya, who was held in Turkey, Ameera chose not to comment. Even as word spread that Ozan's wife was attending college there, Ameera kept her identity hidden.

"Don't!" Hearing Ameera reflex say the word do not make Ozan surprised. He squinted his eyes.

"Why not? Are you ashamed to acknowledge me as your husband? Because you're young and I'm old?" Ozan recalled that Ameera often said Ozan was old. Though Ozan is still very young, soon he is only 27 years old.

Idihs... Who is ashamed to be your wife? I'm not ashamed to be your wife. I'm afraid of the actor. Lovely said, he was willing to be a actor if the man was like you, let alone the others? Even though I know you're not a cheat anyway. Naura alone is that perfect you ignore. Hehe, well, I'm being this narcissistic. But you have never said love to me...

"I'm afraid of being discovered, Mom. If my friends know I'm your wife, they'll distance me."

"Then' anyway?" ask Ozan.

Ameera replied with a nod, trying to convince Ozan.

"First the same father Rangga chained my legs and hands, I can not be friends with just anyone. Now you also want to mengantaiku with the status as a wife? I'd like to have a friend, too, Mommy." Ameera's face again looked sad.

Ozan also felt sorry for Ameera who used to have his life very limited. Ozan also had time to feel how unpleasant it is to live within limits. That's why he never restricted Ameera's association as long as it was a good thing.

"Yes already. Ramon will take care of your cut" Ozan said later.

Hah, that's what the difference is try, if you or Brother Ramon take care of my cut permit.

"Yes, Mum." Ameera.

Ameera also left for the campus in between Ozan. As it left the gates of the housing complex, a car followed them from behind. However, neither Ozan nor Ameera noticed it. Danger is lurking at them.

***

Dina and Rangga were sitting together in a park near the campus. Dina was so shocked by Rangga's sudden arrival. However, the girl was already able to guess in her heart that Rangga's arrival must have something to do with Ameera. He knew very well, Rangga would not just leave his job or college if not for something important. The most important thing in Rangga's life is Ameera.

"So you came home because Brother Naura had a sinister plan for Ameera and Brother Ozan?" ask Dina.

Rangga let out a rough breath. Ameera's shadow danced in her mind. If it wasn't for Hendri always aiming for Ameera's life, he would never have let Ameera have someone else. And unfortunately, now Naura was instigated by Hendri's crime.

"Yes, Din... I can't just let it go. Ameera has lost a lot of important things in her life because of Papa. She lost her mother at eight, she lost her freedom, I even restricted her association so she had no friends but me."

"I understand how you feel, Rangga." said Dina slowly.

"I'm really sorry about you, Din. I know I'm not fair to you." Rangga has not even been able to open his heart to Dina, even after nearly 4 years of togetherness as a fake lover in front of Ameera.

"I'm okay, I'll wait for you anytime. You promised me, right? If you can't be with Ameera, then I'll be the only last option for you." added Dina.

"But you deserve to be happy, Din. Even if it's not the same as me. I don't want to hurt you more than now." Rangga clasped Dina's fingers sitting next to her. There was such a huge feeling of guilt in his heart. Moreover, Dina was dropping her tears.

Rangga knows Dina always meets with Ramon from Rizal's report. Last night Ramon and Dina met and spent time together. Rangga also knew, a Ramon would not waste his time on others, if it was not important to him. And if Ramon is really serious with Dina, then he will release Dina for Ramon.

"I will be the most patient human being waiting for you, Rangga. I'll give you a lifetime time limit, for you to learn to accept me."

"I'm sorry, Din. I'm guilty of you."

Suddenly Rangga's cell phone rang. Looks like a caller by the name of Rizal. He hurriedly answered the call from his friend.

"Hello, Zal."

"Hello, Ranges. Where are you?" ask Rizal across the street.

"Gue again in the park near the same campus Dina, why?

"Gue gets a report, Naura again leads to her campus Ameera. He pulled Ameera's car from behind. You should not let Naura be so reckless."

Hearing Rizal's report, Rangga's face immediately turned pale.

"Din, let's hurry, Brother Naura again leads to the campus, he follows Ameera's car."

Without a second thought Rangga ran towards the campus gate. He ran after Rangga.
