The Substitute Lover

The Substitute Lover
Chapter 09's



At the end of each day, Hazel can breathe a sigh of relief as she is freed from Harold's family. He can rest in his apartment without being watched by the young master who is quite possessive. Although he is still guarded by several bodyguards outside his apartment, but nothing is not too disturbing as well. Hazel can only pray before going to bed, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day than the previous days. But it turns out that the next day the goddess Fortuna has not sided with her. The more his life gets more unlucky. Mark never gave even the slightest freedom to her. The young man could only have Hazel follow him wherever he went. Though Hazel really wants to meet with her friends, but not given permission. Until he really felt so sick of being treated like that. The young man's life was too monotonous, colorless. Only one that Hazel fears if she is always around the young man, she is afraid of falling too deep by the love that grows at all times. The more Hazel spends her days with Mark, the more love blossoms in her heart, the more she fears she can't hide her feelings. It is true that Hazel said she did not love Mark, but her heart rejected it. And in the end Hazel vented her emotions at Roger, because because of the young man she became trapped in this complicated feeling. Hazel meets Roger at her apartment after returning home from Harold's Mansion. "Why did you tell me to come here, hm? You miss me, don't you?" goda Roger while raising his eyebrows. Hazel just rotated her eyeballs, too lazy to hear this young man beside her. "Ch, disgusting, why do I miss people so things like you, huh?" decih Hazel throws a couch cushion over Roger's face. Roger chuckled crisply. "Then why did you ask me to come here? You need anything?" ask her later, seriously. Hazel just shook her head slowly and replied. "No... I don't need anything, when will my suffering end Brother? I'm lazy if every day has to accompany Mark everywhere." he lamented. Roger sat facing the girl and smiled so gently. "really? For lazy reasons? Not for any other reason?" more precisely a statement was not a question that was thrown by the young man. Hazel tilted her head, asking. "Spa what you mean?" "I'm sure you understand what I'm saying, Zel, because I know you're not a stupid girl." "I really don't understand what you're saying, sister," again. "Well, should I explain? All right I'll explain. You just reason to be lazy to accompany Mark, because actually you just want to avoid him. You're afraid of your feelings, you're dismissing your interest in Mark. Is everything I said true Hazel?" roger said with a lift next to his lips. Hazel widened her eyes, her taut fingers squeezed the ends of her dress, until her nails turned white. "Why do you know?" it seems so scared. "Only a fool does not realize it." he said flatly. Hazel was sobbing, she was afraid because what she felt was all wrong. "I-I'm sorry Brother .. I'm sorry." so it sounded heartbreaking. Roger approaches the girl's body and clasps her into an embrace. "You are not sala .. no one knows when the feeling comes. If you feel love for Mark that's natural, every day you're with him, receiving his attention. No doubt your love will grow by itself. But I have to remind you, you will only feel pain in the end. Mark loves you just because he thinks of you as Hazely. I don't want you to feel disappointed later. Although to be honest, I would rather agree that Mark is with you than Hazel." "I have to how.? What should I do, brother?" ask Hazel in frustration. "Everything depends on you, only you can control everything" he replied as he stroked the girl's black mane. The next day Hazel does her usual routine, going to Harold's family Mansion to meet with Mark.. Hazel went straight to Mark's room. "Darling ... Can I not come with you today to the office?" her word. Mark approached Hazel and sat down beside her. "Why, hm?" ask Mark back. "I'm just bored." whine her. Mark smiled gently as he thrust a black card at the girl. "Emmm .. This." Hazel was confused, with a question mark. "This spa?" "Black card. "answer her with her innocent facial features. "Yes everyone knows that it's a black card, you idiot." he said. "Didn't you just say you're bored, first if you're bored, you always want to go for a walk and shop." Hazel was still silent while thinking. What's really inside her brain, I don't think that Hazely used to be so materialistic. "Ah ... already do not think much, let me accompany." said Mark, maybe his lover is currently wanting to be accompanied, the battery. Mark grabbed Hazel's wrist, without hearing the girl's rejection. "Hey, what about your work." asked Hazel a little shout. "A day's vacation is okay, right? For the sake of my beloved lover." he said so casually. Hazel smiled a little. If you were truly mine, I would definitely feel like the luckiest girl in the world. But it is all just an assumption, it can never be real. They also entered a luxury car that was ready to be tendered in the courtyard of the magnificent Mansion. Mark drives his car somewhere, which Hazel doesn't know about. 'Oh my God, where else would this young man take me? Just be careful if he dares to take me to the hotel and do something that is not-no. I'll mutilate until his pride is exhausted.' Hazel was endlessly grumbling in her heart with lips torn out. Mark who felt strange asked. "honey .. why are you pouting hm?." "Where do you really want to take me?" instead of answering, Hazel asked back. "Somewhere, we're gonna have fun, baby" Mark replied with a cheerful smile. Hazel bit her lower lip. Well ... he said he wanted to have fun, he meant to have fun which how? Oh, God please take care of my virginity. Unknowingly Hazel covered her chest with both palms of her hands. "Darling .. Are you cold? Why hug your own body like that?" hazel asked with her innocent look. "he.he.no, I'm just a little uncomfortable because the AC is on." her snubbiness is bland. "Oh, .. Why didn't you say that? Let me turn it off now." Mark shut off his car's AC. And continue the journey without making any more noise. Before long the car stopped in front of a shopping mall for Branded's largest goods in the city. Hazel was a little confused, why did this young man bring me here? So all my thoughts were wrong? her inner. Mark invites Hazel into his family subscription shop, rather it is part of the Harold family branch. Hazel's two eyes unceasingly looked at Branded's belongings lined up so beautifully, dazzling every eye that looked at her. Hazel first entered the store and saw the exorbitant items. Maybe one item could be to buy one apartment, he thought. "What do you want, baby? Choose as you like." said Mark so sweetly. Hazel blinked her eyes a few times. 'W-what did he say? Baby's? Oh, my God, it's so sweet, I could get diabetes like this.' Whenever Mark offers to Hazel, to buy a bag, shoes, or clothes, Hazel just shakes her head in response. Mark was a little surprised by this behavior of his lover. Because as he remembers, Hazely who used to feel very happy if he was invited to shop for Branded goods, even shopping is one of his hobbies. What happened to Hazely this time? Why does he seem to be not interested in it one bit? Mark was confused. "Well .. if you're not interested in the stuff here, maybe the place I'm showing you this time will make you change your mind" she said, pulling Hazel's arm. Hazel just shook her head in frustration. Hah...want you take me where else is this young man? Not long until they were in a jewelry store that was named Harold Brilliant. Hazel was surprised. 'Jeez... Famous jewelry store in this country, am I dreaming? The shop that I could usually only see on the TV screen, now I can see it so real. Even set my foot inside her.' "Honey .. Why are you silent? You don't like her?" mark was confused. "Mom-not that." replied Hazel stammered. "Is the model too ugly? Let me reprimand the Manager at this shop." said Mark memgebu, he most do not like anyone to disappoint his beloved lover. Mark had already stepped on his foot, but Hazel immediately grabbed the young man's wrist. "Don't! they're not wrong, I'm just not interested. Anyway, the jewelry you bought the other day I still haven't worn it all. Honey, it's not if you're wasting your money on something that doesn't matter." Mark again knitted his eyebrows together. What exactly happened to you, Hazely? What made you change was this drastic, but honestly I prefer your current self. "Where are you going, hm? Going to the entertainment center? Come on I'll take you to the most elite place here" Mark said, clutching Hazel's fingers. Hazel fell silent, leaving Mark wondering. "Mark, can you stop this silliness of yours, I'm tired. I just want to go home and rest at the Apartment." paled Hazel, slightly snapping at the young man before her. Mark biting his lower lip trying to neutralize his emotions, he did not like anyone who dared to speak in a high tone to him. What else snapped at her was her own lover. Wait, since when did Hazely dare to yell at me? As I recall this time he spoke harshly to me. "Why are you yelling at me, Hazely? I just want to make you happy." said Mark so coldly, lowering his head so as not to look into the girl's eyes. Which will add to his emotions increasingly bloated. "I-I'm sorry Mark, I just don't like your super royal attitude. Which I think is a waste of time and a waste of time. I don't need all the luxury you have, I just want you to talk, joke, not just display. Not all happiness can be bought with money. I just want to be like any other normal couple." Hazel said, saying she forgot her role as Hazely. Mark silently listened to the words of his lover who according to him is really rare. A Hazely cares about the meaning of waste? That's impossible for Mark. "Since when have you not loved luxury, my dear?" ask Mark, full of emphasis. Make Mark icep for a moment, blame his brain that always encourages him to speak without thinking long first. "Since I've been living alone without you" Hazel said at the end, she prayed that Mark would believe her words. Mark smiled shadyly and stroked Hazel's long hair, filled with sincerity. "I love you more, baby, I'm so grateful to have a lover as good as you." Hazel smiled with relief, and said. "I should be lucky to have a lover as handsome as you are, I love you." Hazel's words were not mere nonsense, she really revealed her heart. Although he knew that love was only one-sided love that could not be reciprocated, at least he had expressed his true feelings. "Let's go home, you look really tired." Mark asked. "Can I go back to my apartment? it's noon, after all you have to go back to the office. Poor brother alone." said Hazel. Mark just nodded, while in his heart came questions that were so dizzying to his brain. Since when do you care about Roger's brother? Not that you two are like enemies, even Brother Roger blatantly expressed his dislike for you, as well as you. Arriving at Hazel's Apartment, Mark immediately descended his luxury car. And turn around to open the car door for Hazel. "Please come down my beauty, you've arrived." said Mark, bowing half his body. Hazel only chuckled lightly, feeling that this young man was overdoing it. "What's wrong with you, honey? You're laughable. And thank you for making me laugh during the day" he said as he drove down the luxury car. "I go in first, thank you for today." Hazel said and kissed the young man's sexy lips briefly, either got the courage from which the girl was, until she casually kissed Mark's lips. God gave me a chance to love her, even for a moment, before she left me. Mark looked closely at the departure of the lover, until the girl's body disappeared behind the door of his apartment loby. Hazel, when I was just testing you, as I thought, you changed you who never understood the meaning of thank you . You hate it even the most if I treat it like that, you'll say that my treatment is so humiliating. But you liked her so much and thanked me. What's wrong with you, Adira? it's like I know another person in you. Mark broke his coarse hair, and immediately entered his car. "huft.." Hazel breathed her tired breath. He took off his shoes and directly inched into his soft bed. Just his one wish at the moment, sleeping without any disturbance from the young man. Hazel looks up at the ceiling of her apartment. His brain was rethinking something that had always haunted him. Would I be ready if Mark ever found out my true identity. What am I supposed to do? I can only hope that Brother Roger will soon discover the whereabouts of Hazely, so that I can escape from him. Even if I'm gonna get hurt seeing you happy with Hazely. I will try to classify you, for I am but an invisible person before you who will disappear at any time, when the real one returns.
