The Young Master's Substitute

Constraints

Fabian sipped his coffee back while staring at his phone. Apparently since then, Fabian is still staring at Mentari's photo.

"Darling, I miss. I miss you so much. How are you doing now, dear? I really want to meet you. Why Mentari, you can leave me. What was my fault all along. Why don't you ever tell me what's wrong I'm with you. Until it makes you go," muttered Fabian.

Fabian rubbed the Mentari photo on his phone screen. After that he kissed the Mentari photo.

"I'm going to sleep, baby. Good night, dear. Good night, emmuah."

Fabian then stood up. After she called Aira, Fabian stepped towards her room. He'll go back to sleep there.

Arriving in the room, Fabian did not immediately lie on the sofa. But Fabian stepped into the window of his room. He then looked out the window.

"So, I can't sleep Mentari. I remember you keep going. I miss you dear" Fabian said.

Not noticeably, a single tear of Fabian soaked his cheek. Fabian immediately rubbed it rough. After that, he stepped closer towards his wife.

Fabian sat down near Syanum and looked at Syanum.

"I'm sorry Syanum. For I cannot give you my heart. Forever, my heart is for the Mentari. And there will never be another woman, who can replace Mentari in my heart. I'm sorry Syanum. Because I cannot give you an inner living like another husband, who gives an inner living to his wife. But I promise, during our marriage, I won't be rude to you. Especially playing hands. Because I know you're not wrong about this at all" Fabian said.

Fabian was surprised when Syanum suddenly opened his eyes.

"Young master. Why are you here?" asked Syanum while inching to sit down.

Fabian looked nervous. He was afraid that Syanum would misunderstand him again.

"I don't want anything. I. I just. emm..."

"Why? you cold? you want to sleep here? Let me sleep on the couch" said Syanum who seemed to know what Fabian was feeling.

Fabian smiled.

"Syanum. Actually, sleeping on the couch is cramped. I don't want you to sleep on the couch. And I, too, don't actually want to sleep on the couch."

"Yes already. If so, we sleep together," said Syanum.

"What, sleep together? same you?" Fabian looked surprised.

He then fell silent for a moment.

"Heuumm, I know what's on your mind Young master. You must be thinking bad."

"What! nope. Who is thinking bad. You're kali,"

"Young master. I know, this is your room. If you want to sleep too, next to me, I'm fine too. We'll make a limiter."

"Limiters?" Fabian frowned confusedly.

"Yes barrier. Like this."

Syanum took two rolls at once and placed the bolster in the middle of his bed.

"This is our barrier. And you can sleep next to me, as long as you don't cross your boundaries" Syanum said.

"All right." Fabian finally agreed to the idea of Syanum.

"I'm sleeping here, just for tonight. Not on other days. Because somehow, my body suddenly did not feel so good. If I can get the guest room key out of Papa's hand. I'm going to sleep in the guest room. I'll give this room to you."

Syanum just nodded.

"OKAY. Good night, young master."

Syanum then lay back and turned his back on Fabian. While Fabian, went up to the bed, and lay back to Shanum. They then sleep in one bed.

****

The sun this morning, it was already shining brightly. Syanum blinked his eyes and was shocked when he saw the wall clock already showing to the number seven.

"Geez, I'm bad luck. Mr. Fabian, also bad luck. How's this. Mr. Fabian has to go to the office" Syanum said.

Syanum got out of his bed. He then walked up to the window of his room. He opened the curtains and windows.

"Duh, the sun has also risen again" said Syanum.

Syanum then woke her husband Fabian.

"Young man, don't you want to go to the office?" ask Syanum.

Fabian opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes.

"Syanum. I'm not feeling well. I can't wake up. My head is so dizzy."

'Duh, lest Mr. Fabian be sick again, ' Inner Syanum.

"Mr Fabian is sick?" ask Syanum.

Fabian nodded. Syanum approached Fabian and held his forehead.

"Oh my goodness, it is very hot for your body, young master," said Syanum.

Tok tok...

The sound of knocking on the door from outside Fabian's room sounded.

"Fabian, Shanum, when are you going to be inside? it's noon this is why you're still inside. The dining table is ready. Don't you want breakfast?" exclaim Bu Reva from outside Syanum's room.

"Yes Ma is..." Syanum hurriedly got off his bed and stepped up to open the door.

Bu Reva was standing in front of Syanum.

"Mama."

CK ck ck. "Basic of newlyweds. I love waking up in the afternoon" said Ms. Reva.

Bu Reva was just smiling to himself when he saw Syanum.

"Young master, again sick Ma. Last night, he was rained. And his body's hot."

"What! Fabian's sick too?"

Syanum.

"Yes Ma. Oh yea. Where's mama going? how early in the morning is it so neat?" ask Syanum.

"Mama wants to take Dila to the hospital. For control of his health."

Syanum mangosteen. "Oh. "

"Yes already. You want breakfast? tuh Mbak Asih wants to finish the dining table."

"Beresin by Ma. If me and the young master want to eat, we'll take it for ourselves."

"Yes already. Mama's going to go now."

"Dimas with Mama?" ask Syanum.

"Yes. We'd like to take your father to the hospital" said Ms. Reva.

"Oh, are you home? so he took Papa to the office? Yes already. Be careful on the road, Ma."

"Yes. Please take care of Fabian."

Syanum. After that Bu Reva left Syanum's room.

Syanum closed the door again. After that he stepped towards Fabian.

"Young master. Is the young master going to eat?" ask Syanum.

"I don't eat shanum anymore."

"So young master, what do you want? can I get you some medicine?"

"I don't want to take medicine either."

"Then? what should I do so that the young master can recover quickly? If you do not eat and take medicine, when will the young master be cured? then, I'll compress it."

"As far as you."

Syanum then stepped out of her room to pick up the compress tools to compress her husband.

A little while later, Syanum returned to the room to compress Fabian whose body was very hot.

"I compress first, young master. Let your fever, get lower."

Syanum then attached a small towel to Fabian's forehead. She took care of her husband very painstakingly. Because whatever Fabian's treatment of her, Fabian is still her husband. And it's Syanum's duty to take care of Fabian when he's sick.

"Young master. Yes eat. I'll get it later" said Syanum.

Fabian shakes.

"I told you, I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat Syanum."

"But young master. Young master must eat. If you don't eat, young master, you'll get sick."

"Syanum. Don't force me to eat. Because I don't eat well anymore."

"If so, young master takes medicine. I'll buy the cure at the pharmacy up ahead."

"No need for Syanum. You stay right here. You can't go."

"Yes already. I'll ask Mbak Asih or Mbak Fani to buy you medicine."

"You are Syanum."

Syanum then stepped away to call his maid.

"Mbak Fani's. Can you ask for help?" syanum asked Fani her new maid.

"Please what Non?"

"Please, get me some medicine for my husband."

"Where is Non?"

"In front of the road there is a pharmacy. You can buy it there."

"But I don't know the way. I'm new here."

"Liar is just like me. I will show the way to the pharmacy with you Mbak Fani," said Mbak Asih who suddenly had been between Mbak Fani and Syanum.

Ma'am Fani smiled.

"Yes Maak Asih. Thank you," said Ms. Fani.

"By the way, young master is sick? what pain is Non?" ask Mbak Asih.

"He's feverish. It seems like he was sick from the rain last night" replied Syanum.

"So, last night the young master was rained? And what time did you come home, young master last night?" ask Mbak Asih.

"Hour, nine nights" replied Syanum.

"Thank you a lot. I'm sorry, I took care of you. You see, young master no longer wants to stay." Syanum looked at Mbak Asih and Mbak Fani alternately.

"Ah, usual. Her name is also a newlywed," moda Mbak Asih.

"Apaan the Mbak. Like it, suck me like that," said Syanum increasingly embarrassed.
