The Young Master's Substitute

Terms of Mentari

"Fabian...! Shannum...!" exclaimed Kak Dila from outside Syanum's room.

Fabian, who had just finished taking a shower, came out of his room.

"What's up, brother?" asked Fabian with a body that was still wet.

"Dimas isn't here?"ask Dila who looks worried.

"No brother" replied Fabian.

"Keep, where's he going." I'm looking everywhere, she's not there." Dila explained.

"To the back garden or to the swimming pool sis. He usually has toys there. Otherwise, maybe he plays outside with his friends" Fabian said.

"Yes. It's possible."

I looked at Fabian.

"You just took a shower."

"Yes Brother. After work, I was tired. Keep on, I fell asleep. Understand that the night must stay up with Syanum and my baby."

"Yes already. Get changed. So wet."

"Yes Brother."

Dila then stepped away leaving Fabian's room . He then searched Dimas in front of his house. Dila stared in all directions. However, he did not find Dimas either.

He asked the children in front of the housing complex. But, of them, no one knew where Dimas was.

"Where do you know Dimas?" ask Dila to a bunch of small children who are on the street of the housing complex.

"We don't know where she's going Auntie. But I saw Dimas running towards the highway."

"Oh my goodness Dimas. Thanks for the deck."

"Yes Tan"

Dila then stepped all the way to the highway to look for Dimas.

"Where the hell are you Dimas" said Dila.

"Dimas...! Dimas...!" exclamation Dila.

"Where the hell, Dimas. Not usually he plays far away," said Dila.

A few moments later, a car stopped right in front of Dila.

Dila stared into the car. Dimas was in the car. Dila widened her eyes when she saw Dimas.

A man got out of the car. He then walked over to Dila.

I was shocked to see the man.

"Mas Adam, yes" said Dila.

Adam smiled when he saw Dila.

"You're Dila, right?"

"Yes Mas. I'm Dila."

Dimas suddenly got out of Adam's car. He walked over to his mother and hugged her.

"Mama.." said Dimas.

"Lho Mas's. How's my son, can you be the same?" tanya Dila looked at Adam.

"Oh. He was a toy in the middle of the road. He almost hit my car. So I drove him home. Take 'em, your son is okay. I was really shocked earlier" said Adam.

"Astaghfirullah, Dimas. What are you doing, son? you've made my mother worried. It's almost maghrib. You're still a toy in the middle of the road. How do you know why son."

"Sorry Ma. I'm just gonna chase my kite again."

"But don't play in the crowd, baby. Just let it kite."

He looked at Adam.

Adam was Dila's upperclassman at Dila High School. Incidentally, they were also once close friends.

"I'm sorry my son. This guy, it's really hard to manage. And thank you for bringing Dimas here. If so, I'll go home first."

"Yes. You welcome. Your house where's Dil?" ask Adam.

"It's a long way from here. Maybe ten minutes if you have to walk," replied Dila.

"Yes already. I'll take you both home.From you walk is tired."

"But what is ngerepotin Mas?" ask Dila.

"Oh. Of course not taking it."

"Yes already. That is. Thanks a lot, my."

"Yes yuk. Get in the car."

Adam then told Dila to get in his car. Dila and Dimas then get into Adam's car. After that Adam got into the car and drove to get to Dila's house.

"This is your house?" ask Adam.

"Yes Mas. Actually, this is my parents' house. But, I'm still with my parents I live here."

"Oh. It's."

"Yes already. Down yuk Mas. We'll drop in first."

" Oh. No need. I want to go straight home. Afraid my son's waiting at home."

"Oh. Is there no mother at home?" ask Dila.

"Nothing. Because her mother is dead."

"Oh. Sorry, my Mas. I don't know if your wife is dead."

"It's okay. Just relax."

"Yes already. Then I go down first, Mas."

Dila and Dimas then went down.

"Thank you again for the ride."

"Yes. I'll go first."

"Yes. Be careful on the road."

Adam then drove his vehicle sliding away from Dila's house. Dila and Dimas entered the house.

One week later.

Mario is still in the hospital with Mentari still accompanying him.

Mario suddenly grabbed Mentari's hand and held it tightly.

"Monitorous. Do you want to marry me?" ask Mario.

"I want to marry you. But there are conditions," said Mentari

She wanted to apply for the conditions, before accepting Mario to be her husband.

Mario stared fixedly at Mentari.

"What's the condition?" ask Mario.

"You must cooperate with me" replied Mentari.

"What cooperation?" Mario looked confused.

"We have to destroy Fabian and his wife."

Mario was surprised when he heard Mentari's words.

"What! I don't want to. I just recovered from my illness. And I promised my mother and father that I would be a good man." Mario rejects the desire of Mentari.

"Yes already. Keep your mind on marrying me. Because at any time, I do not want to marry you," Mentari said with ketus.

"But Dance. I am love for you. From the past until now, I have never changed my feelings for you. Are you unwilling to try to open your heart to me and accept me?" ask Mario.

"If you want to accept me, I promise I'll turn into a better person" Mario continued.

From the first he was very hopeful, Mentari would accept his love.

"But I stick with my decision. I have a condition that you have to do before we get married. You have to kidnap Fabian's baby. I want to feel that Syanum has lost a loved one like me who lost Fabian's love."

Mario could only sigh deeply.

"Yes. But give me time. So that I can be healthy again as before. If it's like this, I can't. To run I won't be able to."

"Yes. I'll wait until you recover as you can."

"Oh yes. Where's our son Dani? you didn't bring him here? I want to see him again. I don't know why I felt so fond of the boy after seeing him" said Mario.

"Regular. I leave him with my aunt. He's at my aunt's house."

"Oh. You live with Aira now?" ask Mario.

Mentari. "Yes." Yeah."

"If you can tell, why?" Mario looked curious.

"My father is dead Mario. He died of illness" Mentari said.

"I'm sorry about your condition Dance. You are patient."

"Yes. Yes it is Mar. I'm going to the toilet first. I'll be here again. Are you okay with me living alone?"

"Yes. It's okay."

Mentari then stepped away leaving Mario's room. He is lazy if he has to linger with Mario. Because he hates Mario. So he always looks for excuses when Mario asks Mentari to marry Mario.
