The Substitute Bride
The Secret of Mary Being Rich?
"But soon a shooting star will appear" Mary replied with a smile as a flower.
"For?"
"Yes to make a wish" Jose replied.
This made Inda quiet. He looked at the night sky where the air was so cool, the moon was bright, and thousands of stars were strewn across the sky.
"Well, look at that!" Jose pointed at the sky. Inda's view is distorted.
"Quickly make a wish!" maria said with excitement. Seconds later he was in a position of prayer and muttering. And so is Jose.
Inda was only speechlessly confused in her mind.
Is it true that this ancient plea worked? thought Inda was hesitant.
Honestly, this young lady had never believed in anything like the things on earth. But when he saw Jose and Maria, he was stunned.
Could it be that the mistress of Mary became a rich man for making a wish on a shooting star? Then, I want a man to love me very much and accept me for what he is.
Inda just said so in her mind. It didn't even matter that the star had already fallen a few minutes after he made a wish.
"What do you want, Jose," asked Maria.
"Something Mama must have known" replied Jose ambiguously.
"You're Inda?"
"Em, no. Nothing," replied Inda lying. He did not believe too much in the myth of a shooting star that would grant the request. He didn't want to tell me anything.
Maria nodded in understanding. He is quite familiar with the attitude of Inda who of course like a dazed person. Even though everything happened four months ago.
"Tomorrow, there's Jose's company's birthday. Mama wants you to come, help."
"By Ma," replied Inda agreeing.
Maria smiled happily, "Good then. Tonight you have to sleep to be fit for tomorrow's event" Maria said.
Afterwards, Maria looked at Jose with a meaningful gaze.
"Mom why look at Jose like that?" jose is uncomfortable.
Mary looked back and forth and sharpened her hearing. Afraid Inda had not left and instead heard their conversation.
"Hem. Mama was just curious, did you tell me about our plan?" mary asked in a whisper.
"Ti-dak," Jose replied hesitantly.
"Why not?" maria was surprised. The four months of waiting for Jose to express his feelings have been a long time, he said. And now …
"Araghh! Unusual child!" maki Maria is upset.
Of course Jose was surprised to take a step back from his position. Her mother was really angry at this moment.
"Mama's been waiting for that time! Mama wants to see you marry Aninda, then get a lot of kids from her! You're weird, there's a lot of opportunities to express your feelings and even mama helped you. But instead you are in vain!"
Maria cambles.
Jose took a breath. The silence was ten seconds later.
"Jose hesitates Ma. Afraid of his Inda to refuse," Jose replied courageously speaking.
Maria wanted to shake her head and sigh in frustration. "Honest of all, Jose. Four months is not a short time for my mom. Supposedly if you proposed to Inda, and now Inda must have bunting and just waiting for her birth month."
Jose speechless. She didn't know her mom was expecting so much from her. Finally, Jose knelt before his mother.
"Jose apologizes Ma. Jose didn't know Mama wanted Jose to be with Inda. Now Jose will try. Please give Jose a week to prepare to propose to Inda" Jose said sincerely.
"No, Mama won't."
"Why?" jose asked confusedly.
