The Young Master's Substitute

Fabian left the house

"Syanum. Are you ready? all are waiting for you below including your father," said Mr. Damar.

Syanum. "I'm ready, sir."

"good. Now we go downstairs. Because the show's about to start."

Mr. Damar and Ms. Reva then left Syanum. They stepped down to meet the guests.

"Syanum. Let's go down."

"Yes, not Luna."

Luna then took Syanum. Luna and Syanum went down the stairs. Everyone who was downstairs was shocked when they saw the bride.

"Who is that woman. It is not Mentari. Where Mentari," said one guest from some friends Mentari.

They are confused, why not Mentari the bride. But someone else. They did not know Syanum at all.

"Eh, actually Fabian wants to marry who the hell. Not the same as Mentari."

"I'm confused too. But in the invitation, it was written Mentari's name really."

"Kok why the bride is different."

The whispers of the guests, have made Syanum heart unpleasant. Syanum was really afraid of facing this situation. However, Syanum could not refuse either. Because it was an order from his master.

Mr. Damar and Ms. Reva are good people. As long as Mr. Herman worked at their home, they always treated Mr. Herman like a family.

When Syanum's parents were sick, Mr. Damar also often gave money for Syanum treatment.

Syanum could not have refused a request from Mr. Damar.

Syanum then sat down next to Fabian.

"How, has the show started?" ask penghulu.

"It's Sir."

After that, the ruler married Fabian to Syanum.

"I accepted the marriage..."

Fabian hesitated, to continue his words. If she's married to Syanum, what if Mentari comes back. Fabian did not want to be rash to quickly marry Syanum.

"I can't, continue this marriage. I'm going to find Mentari" Fabian said.

Fabian got up from his seat. After that he hurriedly left Syanum.

Mr. Damar did not remain silent. He chased his son forward.

"Fabees. Where are you going Fabian...!" exclaimed Mr. Damar who made Fabian stop his steps.

Fabian looked back.

"I'm looking for Mentari Pa. I don't want to marry Syanum."

"A further step out of this house, papa won't consider you Fabian's son."

Fabian was shocked to hear his father's words.

"Pa, I don't love Syanum. Don't force me to marry a woman I never loved. I'm just in love with Mentari Pa."

"But you want to find where Mentari is. He'll never come back here

He's already left you Fabian."

"Pa. He would never leave me for nothing. Because he loves me so much. If he had gone, there would have been a reason. And I want to find Syanum."

"Don't leave this house. If you want to leave this house, papa will revoke all the facilities you have. Starting from mobile phones, credit cards, cars, everything is Fabian."

Mr. Damar stepped closer towards Fabian

"Now you want to come in, or you want to go. If you want to go. Please, don't go home."

Fabian was confused by what he had to do.

"Pa. Stop this marriage. Syanum and I never loved each other. We can live happily after this marriage. Please, papa don't be selfish in forcing me to marry Syanum."

"You should get married anyway. Papa is sure, if you and Syanum want to learn to love each other, you will be able to love each other. The proof is your mom and dad. We married because of a marriage. And now we love each other. C'mon Fabian. Don't let the headman wait too long."

Fabian can't do anything anymore. He could not deny all his father's words. Fabian finally complied with his father.

Fabian went inside with Mr. Damar and sat back next to his bride-to-be.

"How's witness?"

"Well..."

"Alhamdulillah."

Everyone applauded after they saw Fabian's marriage to Syanum.

Bu Reva could only smile wryly. Watching her son's marriage.

'Poor Fabian. His heart must be very broken now. Because she is not married to Mentari. Why does Mentari have to go anyway, ' Inner Bu Reva

"Come Fabian. Now put the ring on Syanum's ring finger, "pinta Pak Damar.

Fabian just nodded. She then pinned the wedding ring on Syanum's ring finger.

Again, everyone applauded. They seemed happy with Fabian's marriage to Syanum. Not with Fabian and Syanum. Since then, they have been quiet with each other. They never seem to be happy with this marriage.

Tonight, Syanum and Fabian are still sitting in the living room. After the event was over, all the guests who had joined in congratulating and blessing, left Fabian's house.

"Fabian, Syanum, why are you still here? why don't you go to the room?" ask Bu Reva.

Fabian was shocked to hear his mother's words.

'Should I room with Syanum. Ih, not really, I'm rooming with a maid like her. Maybe papa forced me to marry this village woman.'

"Syanum. It's night, son. You go in the room and go to sleep. Now, you are already husband and wife. So, you have to sleep in Fabian's room."

Syanum looked at Fabian. He knew that Fabian would never like Syanum to sleep in his room.

Syanum stood up.

"Miss, I'm gonna sleep in the back room, that's okay."

"But Syanum. What if Mr. Damar gets angry. You guys just got married. You should sleep in one room. Can't sleep apart."

"Ma, don't force me to sleep in my room with Syanum. Because at any moment, I don't want a room with him. If he wants to sleep in my room, please. I'm gonna find another room."

Fabian stood up and left Syanum and his mother.

"Fabees. Where are you going?" ask Bu Reva.

"I want to go."

"Where to go? it's Fabian's night...!"

Fabian paid no heed to his mother's words. He left the house and either Fabian was going to go.

"Syanum. Sleep in Fabian's room. You must be tired all day, right?"

"Yes, Madam."

Syanum then went into Fabian's room. He stepped closer towards the bed. Syanum then threw his body on the bed.

Syanum shed his tears. He then breathed deeply.

"Why should I marry Mr. Fabian. Son of my own master. I was really confused as to what I should do now. Nor can I refuse Mr. Damar's request" Shanum murmured

Syanum covered his face with both palms. Will he be willing to live with a man who does not love him at all.

The motor was heard from outside the house. Syanum hurriedly looked from the window of his room. Her husband left the house on his motorcycle. Syanum looked towards the wall clock. The clock has already reached the number 1.

"Jam one night. Why Mr. Fabian should go. Where's he going."

After the departure of her husband, Syanum closed the window curtains. After that Syanum stepped back to his bed.

"I have to change clothes. Very bright wearing kebaya Non Dila."

Syanum then stepped away from Fabian's room and headed to his room which was in the back next to the kitchen.

Syanum went into his room. After that he changed his bride's kebaya dress with a nightgown.

"Better, I sleep here than I have to sleep in Mr. Fabian's room."

Syanum then laid his body on a small bed in the maid's room. She sleeps on her side while thinking about how her marriage to Fabian continues.
