The Young Master's Substitute

Sleeping in the maid's room

After Syanum left his room, Fabian felt his own lips. He seemed to regret everything he had done. He shouldn't have forced Syanum to kiss.

Actually, Fabian was emotional when he saw Syanum laughing while chatting with Ryan. And Fabian also seems to be very jealous of Syanum. However, Fabian never wanted to admit it. Perhaps, only his heart knew, if in fact he had started to love his wife.

"Syanum, I don't want to return my kiss. He was so stupid in that sort of thing. She never kissed a man. Or she had never dated before" Fabian murmured as she fumbled at her own lips.

Fabian stood in front of the mirror. He lowered his face. After that he reflected again.

"Ah, why should I do that stupid. Surely Syanum will think of me. Maybe Syanum will think that I've started to love him. Stupid you are Fabian...!" said Fabian while hitting his own head.

From the bottom of his heart, Fabian actually loved Syanum. But, he did not want to admit and always rejected that feeling. The feelings of hate and love are different. And Fabian couldn't tell the two feelings apart.

But it is different with Syanum. Syanum wants to confess his own feelings. Because every time she was near her husband, her heart was always pounding. And he was also always jealous when Fabian was close to other women. Especially when Fabian always remembered about Mentari.

Fabian stepped towards the bed. He then threw his body onto his bed.

He gazed towards, where Syanum often lay there. And he's fingering to the side.

"I'm sorry Syanum."

Fabian looked up at the ceiling. The shadows of Syanum always flashed in his mind and filled all the space in Fabian's mind.

"Ah, why should I always think of Syanum anyway. I can't fall in love with that woman. I need to focus on finding Mentari. I can't think of any other woman" Fabian murmured.

Fabian then began to close his eyes. He does not want to think about Syanum. Despite his heart, there was already a deep sense of regret when he seized by force the kiss of Syanum.

On the other hand, Syanum went outside from the bathroom. He then stepped into Mbak Fani's room back. Madam Fani, looks like she's sleeping well.

Syanum lay on the side of Fani's mother. Although narrow, but not a problem for Syanum. Because Syanum was ashamed, if she had to go back to her husband's room.

Syanum was really embarrassed, because earlier, he had enjoyed the kiss for a while.

Syanum still held his lips. He was still holding his chest. Syanum heart leaflets, still very felt even though she was far from her husband's side.

Syanum can't sleep tonight. He could only flip his body to the left side, then back to the right side.

"Why am I so upset. I don't sleep here without seeing the young master's face. What happened to me. I don't want to, too deeply love my husband. Because I'm afraid I'm disappointed that my husband won't return my love. Because I know, her love is huge for Mentari. How could he possibly love a country girl like me."

Syanum tried to close his eyes. But he still could not sleep. Her mind was still in the shadow of her husband.

'Stop thinking about that man, Syanum...! I can't fall in love with her. I must learn to forget this love. Because if Non Mentari returns, surely the young master will come back the same as him.

The birds chirping on the horizon had already begun to rumble. The light of day had already begun to barge into the crevices of Fabian's bedroom windows.

At six in the morning, Fabian woke up. He did not find his wife in the room. Fabian inching to sit. He then rubbed his face.

Fabian sighed deeply.

"Syanum actually slept in the maid's room. There is Fani there. Why does he have to sleep there anyway" Fabian murmured.

Fabian got off his bed. After which, he stepped outside the room and headed straight for the kitchen.

In the kitchen, it looks like Mbak Asih and Mbak Fani are cooking. Syanum is not in the kitchen.

"Don't you see my wife?" ask Fabian.

"Young master. Non-Shanum is in Ma'am's room, young master," said Mbak Fani

"He slept there last night?" ask Fabian.

"Yes. She cried last night. And it looks like he's still sleeping in the room."

"Oh."

Without waiting for a long time, Fabian immediately stepped towards the room Mbak Fani. He'll wake his wife.

Without knocking on the door, Fabian went inside Fani's room. He then sat on the side of the narrow bed that Syanum now occupied.

"You think Syanum slept here? This room should be for one person." Fabian looked up.

"Thank you Syanum sleeps. Pity if it was built. Mending, don't build it. I wait for him to wake up by himself. Soon, he'll wake up too."

Fabian grabbed Syanum's hair and placed Syanum's hair behind his ears. Syanum's long hair, always covering his eyes when he's sleeping.

"This girl is only beautiful when she's asleep. If he wakes up, he must be a bitch. All told, he certainly didn't want to. Why, I have to marry him. He is very different from Mentari. He has no experience."

A few moments later, Syanum opened his eyes. Fabian pretended to be indifferent to Syanum. He has not stopped looking at his wife. He looked the other way as Syanum woke up.

Syanum was surprised to see Fabian already in the maid's room. Syanum immediately took a pillow to cover his face.

"Why are you here?" asked Syanum who was still sheltering behind the pillow.

"I just want to..."

"Don't fuck around here, young master. I can hit you now. Get out of here now...!" Syanum drove Fabian away. However, Fabian remained with his stance. He did not want to move even a little from his seat.

"Why did you upset me? and why are you covering your face with pillows?"

"I don't want to, suddenly you kiss me like last night."

Fabian took out a cushion of Syanum and placed it next to him sitting down. Fabian then grabbed onto Syanum's two hands and looked at him.

"Why do you have to sleep here? why did you run away from me last night and come here? how about it if my parents find out. They're gonna be thinking shit about me."

"I don't want to sleep in your room. I don't want last night to happen again."

"sorry. I won't repeat it again. Now we go back to the room. And don't tell me anything about last night with anyone. Including Mama and Papa."

Syanum. He is still with his stance. She would not go to her husband's room again.

"Syanal? I was sorry earlier. Let's go back to the room! I won't force you anymore. Especially for last night."

Syanum breathed deeply.

"You promise, you won't be angry with me anymore?" ask Syanum.

Fabian nodded.

"Come...!" Fabian extended his hand. And was immediately welcomed by Syanum.

Syanum and Fabian stood up. After that she stepped away leaving the maid room.
