The Young Master's Substitute

Aira

Hongkong.

A girl, still standing by the side of her apartment window. Since then he was still staring from the top of the apartment, a vehicle that passed by on the highway.

It was Aira. Mentari's cousin is none other than Fabian's ex-lover. Aira was Fabian's first Chinese teenager.

"Surely now Mentari has married Fabian," murmured Aira.

Aira's tears, dripping from her eyes. He could not imagine the man he loved marrying another woman. And even more hurtful, the woman was her own cousin's sister.

"Aira," Ms. Novi mama Aira patted her son's shoulder gently.

Aira rubbed her tears rough.

"What's the matter Ma?"

"You cry? why?" ask Bu Novi.

"I'm fine Ma," lied Aira.

"You lied. Surely you're thinking of something again?"

Aira nodded quickly. Aira didn't want her mother to know that she was thinking about Fabian. Because Aira had promised, that she would not remember Fabian and Mentari.

"I don't think about anything anymore, Ma."

"Here sit down" said Bu Novi invited Aira to sit on the sofa.

"There's something you want Aira to talk about."

"What?" tanya Aira looked at her mother curious.

"You know, that Mentari and Fabian's marriage failed. They did not marry Aira" Ms Novi said.

Aira was shocked to hear her mother's words.

"What's? is that right Ma? do you know where that came from?"

"Tadi Om Riko called Mama. She said the Mentari disappeared on her wedding day. And their marriage failed."

"So, Mentari and Fabian are not married? because Mentari left? then, why did Mentari go Ma?"

"Well, that's everyone's question mark. The sun went away and disappeared without a trace. And until now Om you, have not found his whereabouts."

Aira stood up. He still does not believe his mother's words.

"The day after Mentari left. Did he leave intentionally? or did he kidnap her on purpose?" Aira looked at her mother.

"Kidnap? who's gonna kidnap Mentari Ra. The mentor went to bring his clothes as well. He might have run away with another man. Maybe he already has a mistress."

"I still don't believe it. Mentari was very in love with Fabian. Why he could leave Fabian. Could he have gone with another man."

"Well that's Ra, which is an enigma to all of us. The mentari went and disappeared. And until now he hasn't been found."

"There's no way Mentari's going, for no reason. He left because there was a reason. But, what is the reason Mentari left Fabian," said Aira.

Aira was silent. He's still thinking about Fabian and Mentari. Actually Aira still loves Fabian very much. Since then until now, Aira's love has never changed even though Fabian prefers to be with Mentari rather than with her.

Why you should go Mentari. I've given up on leaving your life and Fabian's. I don't want to be a bully in your relationship with Fabian anymore.

"Airas. Do you still have feelings for Fabian?" ask Bu Novi.

Aira couldn't possibly force Fabian to love her. Fabian's love for Mentari is huge. And no woman has yet been able to replace Mentari in Fabian's heart.

"Aira, if you still love Fabian, chase your love back, son. Mama doesn't want to, you suffer like this. Now that Mentari's gone, there's no more barrier for you, son. You can approach Fabian again."

Aira looked at her mother.

"I mean Mama?"

"Mama knows that you haven't been able to move on from Fabian. Mama salute your love for Fabian Nak."

"Mama, I still love Fabian. Fabian was my first love, and from long ago until now, no one has been able to replace Fabian in my heart Ma."

"You've given up too much for Mentari. You've given up too much. And mama can't bear to see your suffering, son."

"Mama, I don't know Ma. Why can't I forget Fabian. But I, I tried to forget it. Even I got to take classes here, just to forget about it. But I can't Ma. Hiks..hiks..."

Aira could not hold back her tears. She was crying in front of her mother.

"Propay, baby."

Novi ma'am hugged her son tightly.

"Mama wants you to end your suffering, son. Go after Fabian again. Don't you give up again. You also deserve to be happy with the man you love." Bu Novi cupped his son's face and looked at him closely.

All this time, Bu Novi was the only parent Aira had. Novi is very fond of Aira. A son who had been wasted by his father for a long time. Because Aira's father had remarried to another woman since Aira was still Junior High.

'Aira's. Actually Mama does not want, you snatch a man who already belongs to another woman. Mama doesn't want you to take Fabian from Mentari. Because it's the same way you're like an actor. And Mama doesn't like that. But now Mentari is gone. That means Mentari is dead Fabian. And maybe it's time you approached Fabian again. Surely now he is in a slump because of the departure of Mentari.' Bu Novi stared fixedly at Aira.

"Airas. You haven't eaten yet, son?" ask Bu Novi.

Aira shakes. "Not Ma."

"We have dinner first yuk," asked Bu Novi.

"Yes Ma."

Aira and Bu Novi then stepped into the dining room. Aira then sat in the dining room. Meanwhile, Bu Novi, took a plate to serve the new food in his purchase earlier.

"You don't think about anything. Now you have graduated college. Your grades are also very good. You are very accomplished. Show Fabian your strengths, son. Show him that you can also perform like Mentari. I'm sure, if you want to take Fabian's heart, Fabian can love you as much as he used to."

Aira nodded. He had been in Hong Kong for a long time to study in Hong Kong. And coincidentally, when he graduated from High School, Aira received an S1 scholarship in Hong Kong. It was a pride for Aira. And Aira made great use of those times. And now he has graduated college with satisfactory grades.

"Are we going back to Indonesia Ma?" ask Aira.

"Yes, sure. My mom will always support you, son. Now Mentari has gone a long way from Fabian. You should be able to make Fabian fall in love again. This is a good opportunity for you. Mama is sure, if now Fabian is down. Because he was already disappointed by Mentari. He must be alone now."

"Yes Ma. I promise, I'll chase my love. I'm gonna make Fabian fall in love with me. Because now there's no barrier for me to get close to Fabian. Because Mentari's gone."

Bu Novi nodded.

"For sure, it wasn't me, was it Ma, who made Mentari leave? it wasn't me, Ma, who made their marriage fall apart?"

"Yes Nak. Maybe Fabian and Mentari are not matchmakers. Maybe Fabian's soul mate is you son."

"Yes Ma."

Aira and Bu Novi smiled. They don't know if Fabian is actually married to another woman.
