THE SUBSTITUTE HUSBAND

JSP 1'S. Old Friend's Phone Connection

..."Where's Bor Lo? Come to my house now! GPL, spout! Civil emergency!!!"...

Getting a phone call from Rury as soon as my heart beats.

Why did the Rury call me this early in the morning? Njirrr, so many months he has 'disposed' me from the circle of friendship only my bokap be a government prisoner due to money laundering cases in the office where he works. Ujug-ujug ni people call me use military style. Civil emergency everything like I'm still his lackey! Bangk+e is a person! What the hell does he want?!?

But if I don't follow his direction, koq in my heart seems odd. Hhh.

After an inner battle of my own, I finally glided also to the mansion of businessman Hartono Abdi, a successful businessman who has a pair of twins named Rury and Ruby.

26-year-old Rury, bachelor degree in economics. Ruby, the female twin of Rury, was only 10 minutes apart after the birth of Rury. Rury is also an undergraduate, but in the field of business management.

Both are the children of wealthy businessmen who are engaged in coal and famous franchise department stores in the region we live in.

While I am, who am I? Hm... Should I spill at the beginning of 'who am I'? I guess, let it be a private secret first even though the secret is a public secret. Some people know who I am. My identity.

Even though I keep it a secret, the carcass will continue to smell the smell of rottenness that eventually spread, spreading an unpleasant odor until some people go away one by one not strong with fragrant.

...🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒...

A red, metallic Lamborghini is parked in the courtyard of Mr. Hartono Abdi's mansion. A sign that the owner is also inside, has not yet left for his office.

Rury's white Ferrari is still in the garage. This means that the child is also in the house.

Two other expensive cars are also in the garage. It seems to belong to Madam Inara, the owner of the most popular women's clothing boutique today. She is Ruby's Mama.

The only thing I guess is Ruby's car. Sweet girl who is very beautiful like Ruby jewelry.

She was, my first love.

Tong

The doorbell that I pressed made Lalita one of the family's housekeepers open the door for me.

"Mas Angga, please come in. It's been waiting on the third floor. Please."

Of course I'm stunned.

Me? The wait? On the third floor? It's strange!

The big and spacious house. Of course, there is also an elevator like in a five-star hotel.

I followed Lalita without further ado.

Only an erratic heartbeat accompanied my somewhat clumsy pace.

It's been four months, I haven't been to this house.

Suddenly told to come and immediately told to go up to the third floor, the most mysterious floor only for family members.

My eyes were stunned, direct contact with Ruby's eyes that looked restless with a hint of tears.

What's the matter?

"Sit down, Angga Saputra. That's your name, right?"

I'm nodding.

Although friendly since I was in elementary school with Rury and often in and out of this house since childhood, but only this time I interacted directly with Mr. Hartono. Because they are rarely at home. Super duper entrepreneurs are busy.

Eleven-twelve with Madam Inara, his wife.

Rury didn't notice me. He just sat down with a lethargic face.

The five of us, sitting on the sofa in the position of circling the table.

All was silent, the tense atmosphere gripping.

"Marry Ruby, tomorrow. We'll pay you whatever you want as long as you're willing to be a surrogate husband tomorrow!"

My throat was stuck like dry.

The words of Mr. Handoko instantly made me look at exactly bego people.

Marry Ruby? Tomorrow then? So the surrogate husband? Paid anyway? Hahh???
