The Substitute Bride

21. Marry Back

“But soon I will marry you.”

Inda did not know whether Jose's words were a joke or not. But he didn't take that as a serious thing to think about.

Unlike Inda, Jose said from the bottom of his heart. It turns out that Jose considers his words to be the truth, if he starts to like Inda and will marry her soon. Because he wants to have a more special relationship than this.

Especially when Jose started not wanting to be the husband of a Lista who obviously could not do anything. Even in childhood, Lista was a daughter who was annoying, cunning and emotional.

Not forgetting the grudges in the past that were quite ingrained for Jose for the Dehandra family. Until now Jose plans to avenge his family by still marrying Inda.

"This is your body, eh no. It means open your bath coat" pinta Inda nervously. Obviously Inda was a normal woman who would definitely melt hearing such a phrase from a man.

"But you want to, right?" jose asked with a big smile that made him more handsome in Inda's smallest heart.

"meaning?" Inda pretended not to know. 

"My proposal," replied Jose.

"Isn't your wife Lista's sister? There he was even angry with me, if you know you proposed to me," said Inda refused subtly.

"She's not my wife. All this time, you were the only one who accompanied me. So actually, you're my wife, not her" Jose explained, holding Inda's hand. 

Obviously the touch of the hand made Inda even more nervous.

'Maybe I have to repeat everything from the beginning,' Jose thought so he started kneeling in front of Inda and started looking at Inda with a look of love.

"Will you marry me?" ask Jose without further ado.

Inda fell silent. In her deepest heart, Inda was eager to say that she wanted it. By being kind for a few days without violence like the story of Dehendra's family before Inda picked up Ben, clearly Inda was so in love with Jose.

It's just, back to the original topic. Jose is clearly Lista's husband, his foster brother. Inda even remembers how much Marien begged her the night before H. If this marriage is only temporary and not appropriate Inda took the position of Lista as Jose's Wife.

Or his return to the family will remain continuous until he whenever. Inda knew himself enough to choose silence.

Jose waited for a few seconds. He was very interested in Inda and he understood this feeling impressed too quickly spoken.

 It is evident from their relationship that has only lasted for a few days since the wedding. Inda's distinctly different nature from that of his rightful Wife Lista, made him want to quickly escape this terrible status.

“Quick say yes, Inda. I'll make the wedding more luxurious than my wedding to that shitty woman. L like you. You just need to know, I want us to have happiness together,” Jose said from the bottom of his heart.

"stand. You want to keep wearing that bathrobe? You're not cold, hem?" he said without answering Jose's question.

Although it is not denied, if Inda's gaze for Jose is a gaze full of love. Because Inda was the first to have a crush on seeing Jose's good looks at the wedding altar.

Jose stood as Inda's wish. But he went out from the presence of the woman, and went into the house. He took the car keys then entered the car and left from there.

The treatment of Jose who returned silent and cold unlike yesterday, made Inda stunned in panic, because; he clearly again forgot if a rejection would make Jose's mood chaotic.

''And I'm just telling the truth. I don't want my repayment to Dehendra's family to be void so I have to repay everything they've done to me over the past 10 years. I have that kind of money to pay it off!'' monologue Inda panic.

"When Lista lalaaaaang, let her face this strange man. He's his wife not me.' Inda whines to herself. 

Suddenly, Inda remembered the incident earlier. He's proposed! If only Jose was a single guy who loved him he wouldn't mind saying yes.

But he is married! "Although for the time being I'm his successor, it still feels very difficult to make a choice!" It feels like Inda is very resigned.

"But ah, I must have heard wrong. There's no way Jose would marry me. It must be just a joke. Especially lately he often acts like a child who is quite annoying, if only he is a child, it is still natural. Uh, but where there are children who express love to each other. Em, I mean, annoying attitude and want to win by yourself, Aninda Antariiii!"

Here's the beautiful attitude and the way he talks if he's confused. Between wanting to be happy because Jose was honest or even sad because the words were only joking as expected.

***

Jose hits the car's steering wheel to vent his deeply upset feelings.

''How could he refuse my proposal?'' Jose monologue. He imagined how stupid he was when he expressed his sincere feelings for the woman he judged very good for now. But what, he was rejected! Obviously this makes Jose very upset instead of playing.

Jose arrived at the beach after a journey of almost an hour. The man got down from the car, looking at the boisterous atmosphere of the beach from a distance. He locked the door and left the parking lot.

Jose saw his mother sitting on the sand of the beach with a mat and a large umbrella covering her head from the scorching sun. Jose initially planned to bring Inda here to meet Maria who turned out to be Inda's idol. But the woman had already broken her heart so decided to bring herself alone.

"Why just Jose himself, where's your wife?" maria asked puzzledly after seeing that there was no woman beside Jose.

I don't know why Jose was upset to hear that question. He sat next to his mother and took and drank the coconut water lying nearby.

"Eh, uh Jose. It's got a mama, why was it taken? You don't have any money anymore?"

Jose put the coconut fruit that he had spent almost all the water. He nodded at the words of his mother. "This mama, there's-there's! I knew Jose was upset and joked!"

"Which mom knows you're sprained. Suddenly came immediately to drink mama. Guess you don't have any money, she said, Joking. Why the hell Jose, there is a problem at home with your wife," asked Mama curious.
