The Young Master's Substitute

Mario Change

This morning, Mentari was still in the restroom, which was inside a rented house. More precisely, the Mentari hideout from the pursuit of the big family of Firen. Mentari was still staring at the little baby Firen.

"I should be the mother of this child. I should've been pregnant with Abi's son. It should be me, who is now on Abi's side. But why should Syanum, the village woman who must get happiness. Why not me. Why....!" mentari.

"Lord, why are you so unfair...! You gave me life like this. Papa died, my house was sold, and you gave me an illegitimate son. But you give Syanum happiness continually."

Since then, Mentari can only fumble not because of. His heart really felt a deep pain, when he knew that Fabian had turned back to Syanum.

Revenge, with Fabian and Syanum. Because he can't get love from Fabian anymore.

A drop of Mentari's tears wet his cheek. The sun cries in its solitude. Right now, he was still in the room, only with little Fabian. He had since yesterday, only taken care of Fabian's son, but ignored his son who was at Aira's house.

Every now and then the Mentari looked towards Firen and smiled.

"Why did your father throw me away. Why did he choose to stick with Syanum. Your father should have left Shanum and come back to me. He has given me a lot of false hope. He's already really hurting my heart and driving me crazy."

"And you...!" said Mentari while pointing towards Firen who was still asleep.

"And you are the cause of my destruction. You do not deserve to be in the midst of the Abi family. You were supposed to come with Syanum to the village. Or you just go with your dead grandfather and grandmother. Or you should never have been in the womb of Syanum. I hate you...!"

Tok tok...

"Boss. Boss...!" said someone from outside Mentari's room.

Mentari then opened the door to her room.

"What's wrong?"

"Boss. I have followed the wishes of the boss. I called Fabian. I've asked him, to bring in a billion."

"good. But I'm just gonna ask for the money. But, I will never return this child. I'll just sell this kid, or I'll dump him in an orphanage. For Syanum to feel the loss of her child forever."

"Boss. If the boss hates the kid, why doesn't the boss eliminate him."

Mentari looked at the man in front of her.

"Shut up! don't be so stupid to know you. I will never dirty my hands by killing this innocent baby. I just want Syanum to feel, what it's like to lose someone you love."

Ring ring ring...

The sound of Mentari's phone ringing shocked Mentari.

"Who the hell," said Mentari as he stepped closer to the nightstand to pick up his phone on the nightstand.

Mentari then raised the call from his Tantenya.

"Hello Tan's.."

"Hello Mentari's. Where are you at? when are you going home?"

"Tan. I'm still out of town. I'm still a long time home."

"What! still long. Where are you really?"

"I've got Tan's business out of town. Already, Aunt why the hell, should call me continue."

"Oh my goodness, Mentari. Why do you have to be like this anyway. Poor your son, you stay around."

"Tan. No need to be chatty. If Auntie wants to take care of Dani, yes please. Take care of Dani. But if Auntie, no longer want to take care of him, just give him to Mario. Or take him to an orphanage.

Tut Tut's...

Mentari approaching Andra.

"Why are you still here huh... There go ! this baby, it's gonna be my business."

"Good boss."

Andra then left Mentari's room.

Andra is one of Mentari's confidants now. Mentari's already paid a fortune to kidnap Firen. Because Mario Mentari people who hope to be invited to work together, it rejects the desire of the Mentari.

Bu Adela and Mr. Sofyan looked at Mario who was currently wearing a full office shirt. After recovering from his illness, Mario tries to get up and become a better person.

Mario wants to change all his bad habits. And he wants to repent of all his past mistakes.

And, he had also wanted to forget about Mentari. Because according to him, the Mentari is now different from the previous Mentari. The current mentor, has turned evil. And Mario understands what Mentari is feeling. Because he had already felt it. Loving someone who never loved him.

"Good morning, Ma, Pa" Mario told his parents.

Ms. Adela smiled.

"Are you ready to go to the office?" ask Ms. Adela.

"Yes Ma."

Mario quickly approached Bu Adela and Mr. Sofyan. He then sat between his parents.

"You look so handsome."

Mario smile.

"Ma, Pa, can't I go to Mentari's house?" ask Mario suddenly.

"Why are you going there?" ask Bu Adela

"I want to meet my son Ma, Pa," said Mario.

"Yes already. Its nothing. Dani is also your real son Mario. You still have a responsibility to support the child. Because he's your flesh and blood" said Mr. Sofyan.

"Yes Pa."

"How is Mentari? are you still communicating?" ask Ms. Adela.

"Udah no Ma. Since Mentari's arrival back then, he's never contacted me again. And I'm lazy too, to call him."

"Mario. Mama knows that you love Mentari. But mama suggested, mengingan you do not need to, marry a woman like her."

"What's the matter, Ma?"

"Mama just doesn't like to see the behavior of Mentari. He was like a parent lacking education. And he also never loved and cared for his own flesh and blood. He wants his own happiness more than the happiness of his son" said Bu Adela.

"Instead, Dani was not breastfeeding to Mentari anymore, since the age of a month. You shadow me. Which mother is like that same child. Don't want to suckle her baby."

"Yes Ma. I know how. And I also want to choose a good woman to be my wife. But, if Mentari wants to change anyway, it's okay. I'll keep giving Mentari a chance. Who knows, he could change and accept me. And we'll live happily with our son."

"Well, hopefully Mentari will accept you and be aware. If your love for him is very big Mario. Papa salute you Mario. If another man were you, Papa was sure, that he would choose to forget a long time ago."
