The Young Master's Substitute

Just a chauffeur's son

"Not to be sad like that Fabian. That girl left you, which means she's not your soul mate." Mr. Damar sat down on Fabian's side.

Fabian looked at his father.

"But why did he have to go Pa." Fabian's face since then, still shrouded in sadness.

The woman he loved now left him. Fabian doesn't know, for what reason Mentari left.

"Maybe, all this time she never wanted this marriage. Or maybe, he already has another man that he loves more than you," said Mr. Damar.

"It's impossible Pa. He is loyal to me. There's no way he's gone to leave me just because there's another guy."

"Fabees. But the truth is he's gone after you. What do you think that woman is for. Now all you have to think about is your future. Not that woman."

Fabian quiet. Right now, he was completely destroyed. Fabian was confused as to what he should do now. Maybe he'll find a mentor. He just doesn't know where Mentari went.

"Fabees. You don't have to worry about this marriage. Because of this marriage, it will still be carried out, without Mentari," said Mr. Damar who made Fabian surprised.

Fabian widened his eyes. I don't know what his father said.

"What do you mean?" ask Fabian.

"Papa shall marry you to Shanum."

"What's? married to Syanum?" Fabian looked at his father sharply.

He did not think that his father had the mind to marry himself to Syanum the son of Mr. Herman the private driver at Fabian's house.

"Yes. Syanum will be a surrogate for you."

"No. I don't want to marry Syanum. Papa what the hell is this. Syanum is just a driver's son. What he deserves for me. And I don't love him either. Anyway I don't want to marry Syanum." Fabian rejected his father's wishes.

Who wants to marry a woman who is not at all loved. Fabian and Syanum just got to know each other.

"Fabees. Now you must obey Papa. You must marry Syanum. Papa told penghulu. And the issue of letters, it could follow."

"But I don't want Pa. Syanum is just the son of a driver. He doesn't deserve me. And papa isn't shy, having a daughter-in-law a maid?"

"Fabees. Please, for this time, you must follow Papa's wishes. You must marry Syanum. Syanum is a good girl. And for sure, he'll never leave you like Mentari."

"But I still don't want to."

"You can't resist your father's desire to marry Syanum. When to wait for Mentari. Your age is ripe for marriage. Then, you'll wait for what else Fabian. What other woman do you want?"

"Pa, there's no other woman. Why should Syanum. I don't want to marry her."

"But papa doesn't want to know. You must remain married to Syanum. Otherwise, papa will unplug all the facilities you have now."

Fabian could no longer resist his father's wishes. She eventually married her driver's son.

***

Syanum, the girl from the village, was the son of Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman has been working for a long time at Mr. Damar's house. Become a driver.

Syanum was brought by Mr. Herman to Jakarta, because Syanum's mother in the village was dead. Mr. Herman did not have the heart to leave his own son in the village. That's why Mr. Herman brought Syanum to his employer's house to help there.

"Papa sure, will marry our son to Syanum?"

Bu Reva approached her husband.

"But Pa, they don't love each other. Why we marry them. What if Fabian isn't happy with his marriage."

"Ma, papa doesn't want this marriage to fail. Papa wants this marriage to go well. I don't want to be ashamed of Ma. Let's see, in front. There are so many of our guests. Are we gonna break up the show and tell them the bride ran away?"

Bu Reva seemed to be thinking. It is true what her husband said. There was no way they would disperse the show just because the bride had run away.

"But, have you talked to our son Fabian?" Bu Reva looked at Mr. Damar.

"It."

"Certainly? what was Fabian's answer?"

"He refused. But papa will still force her to marry Syanum. Because there's no other way, ma."

"But, would our child be happy if married without love. Moreover, he married Syanum the son of a driver."

"Papa never looked at the social status of someone Ma. What matters to you is that Syanum is a good man's son. Papa has known Mr. Herman for a long time. He is a very honest and hardworking person. And perhaps, his son Syanum also had the same nature as his father."

"But my mom disagrees with me. Syanum is the son of the driver. Surely Fabian would be very embarrassed, if he had a maid's wife like Syanum."

"Already Ma. Follow me what papa said. Papa wants this marriage to go right."

"But Pa, we don't know who Syanum is yet. He just got to live with our family."

"That's it. Mama better shut up. Don't interfere. Let papa take care of this."

"But Pa. Papa doesn't pity Fabian. He is just love with Mentari. Not the same as Syanum."

"Ma, don't you remember. We were married without love. We got married because we were married. Aye? But now, we love each other. Even we already have Dila and Fabian."

Ms. Reva was silent.

"Papa sure, if Fabian and Syanum are married, they must also be in love for a long time. Like us. Just trust Ma, same papa."

"Yes deh.iya. Mama, it's up to you."

"Yes already. We'll meet Syanum in the room. Now Luna must have conjured up Syanum to be beautiful."

Bu Reva just nodded. She just went with her husband's wishes. He did not really like Syanum.

Bu Reva and Mr. Damar then stepped upstairs to see his bride-to-be.

"Who made Syanum?" ask Bu Reva.

"Papa told Luna to put Syanum on makeup."

"Then his shirt?"

"Papa take it in Dila's closet. Dila's kebaya shirt."

"Papa. Why did you take Dila's shirt. What if Dila finds out, her clothes are on her son Mr. Herman's. Can be mad big later Dila."

"Here you go, mama doesn't have much to say. Just the same papa. Let this wedding, run smoothly without upsetting the guests."

Bu Reva just nodded. She could only say what her husband said. Because her husband is a stubborn man.
