The Young Master's Substitute

Pay off debts

Ms. Adela is silent. Ms. Adela was confused by what she was going to say to Ms. Novi.

"Mom... Why Ma?" ask Bu Novi

"Oh. Its nothing. Mario..." Ms. Adela hung up her words.

"Strue Mario is not at home now Ma," said Aira chimed.

Aira seems to want to help Bu Adela to explain to her mother. At the moment, Mario is not there.

"Oh. Where's he going?" ask Bu Novi curious.

"He's gone from Mom's house. And he hasn't come back yet" Ms. Adela replied.

Ms. Novi was surprised. He knitted his brows in confusion.

"What! get out of the house? why?" said Bu Novi who had raised his tone.

"Because, his father had already expelled Mario from the house. And during these few months, he left and I don't know where he is now" Adela explained.

"Oh my goodness" said Bu Novi.

"Mario was actually a child who was difficult to manage. Though he was our only child and he was the only child we expected to be his father's successor in the company" continued Bu Adela.

"Oh. That's it, Mom." Bu Novi mangosteen seemed to understand.

Since then, Mentari just silently heard the conversation of Mario and Tantenya's mother. Mentari actually knows where Mario is now. But he refused to say it. She was afraid that Ms. Adela would force Mentari to marry Mario.

Oek.uk...

Suddenly Dani was crying.

"I think Dani is hungry" said Ms. Adela.

Ms. Adela then looked at Mentari.

"Monitorous. Your son, he's hungry. This is Mentari, breastfeed your child first" said Bu Adela.

"Sorry Tan. Dani's not suckling at me."

Ms. Adela looked surprised by Mentari's words. How can a baby who has not even two months is no longer breastfeeding his mother.

"Lho. Why Mentari. And then Dani you give formula milk?" ask Ms. Adela.

"Yes. Better than Tan. I was lazy to suckle him. Because Tan's sick if he suckles me," said Mentari.

"What do you mean? Dani's not suckling at you anymore? she's got formula milk. Are you not going out?" Ms. Adela has asked Mentari a few questions.

The mentary can only be silent. He did not answer any questions from Ms. Adela at all.

Ms. Adela is still surprised by Mentari. Why can he talk like that. Dani is his real son. And Dani's age hasn't been two months.

"Monitorous. Her name is a mother, early breastfeeding is also like that. Feel sick. But for a long time also not really," Bu Adela seemed to advise.

"And I'm lazy Tan. Breastfeed the child. I'm tired," said Mentari cynically.

"Lho. You're talking like that. This is your son, Tar" said Bu Adela.

Mentari stood up. Without much further ado, Mentari stepped away leaving his Tantenya, his cousin, and his mother Mario in the living room.

"Monitorous. Where are you going?" ask Bu Novi.

Bu Novi felt bad about himself with Bu Adela, because of Mentari's attitude.

"Em, Miss Adela. Forgive my attitude yes," said Bu Novi.

Ms. Adela smiled.

"Oh. It's okay, Novi. Maybe Mentari's tired again."

Oek..uk...

Dani's crying is getting louder. Making Bu Adela confused to calm her down.

"R. Please Ra. Make Dani milk!"pinta Bu Novi's

"Yes Ma."

Aira stepped into the kitchen to make milk for Dani. While Bu Novi stood up. He stepped towards Bu Adela and took Dani from Bu Adela's lap.

"I'm sorry, Miss Adela. If Dani is crying and cannot be guaranteed. Usually, like this, he's hungry, or thirsty. It could also be because he wet the bed" said Bu Novi.

Ms. Novi then held Dani and tried to calm Dani down.

"Oh. Yes I know. His name is also a baby." Ms. Adela.

A short while later, Aira stepped towards the central space.

"This is Ma, the milk." Aira thrust the milk bottle towards her mother. Bu Novi took it and immediately gave the formula to Dani.

After Dani started to shut up, Ms. Adela said goodbye to go home.

"Yes already. Then I go home first. Later I will come here again," said Bu Adela.

"Oh. Yes, ma'am." Bu Novi nodded.

"No need for Aira. There are also plenty of taxis in front."

"Right, Auntie wants to take a taxi?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Bu Novi suddenly, gave Dani to Aira.

"Mommy wants to take Miss Adela to the front. Please carry the Daninya."

"Yes Ma."

After Dani was in Aira's arms, Bu Novi then stepped forward to take Bu Adela up to the terrace.

"I'll excuse you, Ms. Novi" said Ms. Adela before leaving.

"Oh yes."

"I'll be here again to see Dani. I also want to test Dani's DNA as well. I wonder, actually Dani is really Mario's son or not."

"Oh. yeah."

Ms. Adela then stepped onto the highway to wait for a taxi.

Fabian's phone rang.

"Airas. Want to call him," Fabian said.

Fabian then picked up the phone from Aira.

"Bi. We will meet in the cafeteria."

"Findings. What's to do?"

"I want to talk important."

"Speak about what?"

"Out of the debt Om Riko."

"Would we go to the cafeteria to meet him?"

"Yes. It's okay in the cafeteria too, right? I'm lazy to go outside."

"Yes.I have a lot of work for Ra. I want to focus on work first. I will be going to the cafeteria later. I just happen to have not eaten in the morning."

"Oh. Yes Bi."

Fabian turned off his phone line. After that, he looked back at the monitor.

Fabian who had been focused on his work since then, looked at his watch.

"Lho. It turned out to be a break. I thought, it's still morning" Fabian murmured.

Fabian closed the monitor. After that he stood up. Fabian stepped out of his room to the cafeteria to meet Aira.

Once in the cafeteria, he looked around. He didn't see people in the cafeteria.

"Kok is still quiet. Where are these office people," Fabian said.

A few moments later, Aira arrived.

"Bi."

Fabian turned towards Aira.

"Eh Ra's. You have come."

"Sit yuk Bi!" Aira took Fabian to a seat.

Fabian nodded. Aira and Fabian then sat together in the office cafeteria.

"What do you want to say, Ra?" Fabian's getting serious.

"I just want to give this back" Aira said as she placed a brown envelope on the table.

"What's this?"

"Before Om Riko died, he had already paid to me, to pay all his debts including to you."

"Oh."

"And I just want to give it half back first."

"Duh Ra's. Why rush to return it. Who knows, you and Mentari still need that money."

"No Bi. You have to take this money. This is the money from the seller of the house. There are only ten million. The rest will be Bi. If there's more money."

"Yes Ra."
