The Substitute Lover

THIRTEEN

Jovin invites Abila to enter his family subscription store, more precisely the store is part of the branch of the Nichol family company.

Both of Abila's eyes unceasingly looked at Branded's stuff that lined up so beautifully, dazzling every eye that looked at her.

Abila was the first time she entered the store and saw the goods that were exorbitant. Maybe one item could be to buy one apartment, he thought.

"what do you want, baby? choose as you like." said Jovin so sweet.

Abila blinked her eyes a few times.

A.. What did he say? Baby?.. jeez is so sweet, can I get diabetes like this.

Whenever Jovin offers to Abila, to buy a bag, shoes, or shirt, Abila just shakes her head in response. Jovin was a little surprised by this behavior of his lover. Because as he remembered Adira who used to feel very happy if invited to shop for Branded goods, even shopping is one of his hobbies. What happened to Adira this time? Why does he seem to be not interested in it one bit? Jovin was confused.

"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 Abila's arm.

Abila 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 NICHOL BRILLIANT. Abila was surprised again.

Gosh...The 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 put my foot inside her.

"honey... Why are you quiet? you don't like her?." asked Jovin confusedly.

"mother... not so." replied Abila stammered.

"is the model too ugly? let me reprimand the Manager at this store." said Jovin bergebu , he most do not like anyone to disappoint his beloved lover. Jovin had already stepped on his foot, but soon Abila grabbed the young man's wrist.

"Don't . Anyway, the jewelry you bought the other day I still haven't worn it all. It's a pity that you're wasting your money on something that doesn't matter."

Jovin again knitted his eyebrows together.

What exactly happened to you Adira? what made you change was this drastic, but honestly I prefer your current self.

"where are you going then? going to the entertainment center? come on I'll take you to the most elite place here." said Jovin, clutching Abila's fingers.

Abila fell silent, making Jovin wonder.

"Jo... Can you stop this silliness of yours, I'm tired . I just want to go home and rest in the Apartment." puffed up Abila, slightly snapped at the young man before her.

Jovin bit 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 Adira dare to yell at me. As I recall this time he spoke harshly to me.

"why are you yelling at me Adira? I just want to make you happy." said Jovin so coldly, lowering his head so as not to look into the girl's eyes. Which will add to his emotions increasingly bloated.

"ma.. I'm sorry Jo. 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." said Abila, telling her she forgot her role as Adira.

"when have you not loved luxury, my dear?" asked Jovin, full of emphasis.

Making Abila blink for a while, blame her brain which always encourages her to speak without thinking long first.

"se.. since I lived alone without you." said Abila in the end, he prayed that Jovin would believe all his words.

Jovin smiled shadyly and stroked Abila's long hair, filled with sincerity.

"i love you more, baby, I'm so grateful to have a lover as good as you."

Abila smiled in relief, and said.

"i should have been lucky to have a lover as handsome as you, I love you." Abila'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 very tired." take Jovin .

"can I go back to my apartment? it's noon, after all you have to go back to the office. Poor Brother alone." said Abila.

Jovin just nodded, while in his heart came questions that were so dizzying to his brain.

Since when do you care about Brother Johan ? not that you two are like enemies, even Brother Johan blatantly expressed his dislike towards you, as well as you.

Arriving at Abila Apartment, Jovin immediately descended his luxury car. And turned around to open the car door for Abila.

"please come down my beauty, you have arrived" said Jovin, bowing half his body.

Abila just chuckled small, feeling that this young man was overreacting.

"what's wrong with you, baby....? 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, thanks for today." said Abila and kissed the young man's sexy lips briefly, either got the courage from which the girl was , until casually kissed Jovin's lips.

God gave me a chance to love her, even for a moment, before she left me.

Jovin looked closely at the departure of the lover, until the girl's body disappeared behind the loby door of his apartment.

Adira, whereas 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.

Jovin breaks his coarse hair, and immediately enters his car.

"hufts.." Abila breathed her tired breath.

He took off his shoes and directly inched into his soft bed. Just his one wish at the moment, slept without any disturbance from the young man.

Abila looked up at the ceiling of her apartment. His brain was rethinking something that had always haunted him.

Am I ready if one day Jovin finds out my true identity. What am I supposed to do? I can only hope that Brother Johan will soon discover Adira's whereabouts, so that I can be detached from her. Even though later I will feel hurt to see you happy with Adira. I will try to classify you, because I am just an invisible person in front of you who will disappear at any time, when the real one returns.
