The Young Master's Substitute

Go home

"Now, take me to meet my daughter Nak Fadlan. Om misses him a lot. Let Om take care of Om's own children. Because in this house, Om is alone and lonely without the presence of Mentari," said Mr. Riko suddenly.

"The commentary is now safe, and she's at my fiancee Lisa's house" explains Dr. Fadlan.

Mr. Riko stood up.

"Son Fadlan. I'll get ready first. I'll go with Nak Fadlan."

Fadlan just nodded. After that, Mr. Riko stepped away leaving the living room and stepped inside. Meanwhile, since then, Fadlan is still waiting for Mr. Riko in the living room.

A little while later, Mr. Riko approached Fadlan who was in the living room. Mr. Fadlan seemed ready to go with Riko.

"Om, Om don't have to bring your own car. I'll just get in my car. I'll take Om and Mentari home."

"All right."

Fadlan and Riko then step outside the house and they get into the car to slide into Lisa's house.

****

"Monitorous. You don't miss your Papa?" ask Lisa who has been sitting with Mentari in the room.

Lisa and Mentari are currently one room away. They sleep in the same bed. Since the incident a few weeks ago, brought Mentari to his home and Lisa has always been a confiding friend to Mentari. He has always been a good listener for Mentari. And now, the mental health of Mentari has also begun to improve. She never threatened to commit suicide or abortion again.

"Actually I also miss the same Papa I Lis. But I'm not ready to see Papa. I don't want Papa to be in shock when I see changes in my body and stomach" Lisa said.

"Why don't you just tell Papa you about your current pregnancy condition."

"I'm not ready yet. I don't want Papa to know about this Lis."

"But no matter how much you save your pregnancy, someday, you will know."

"Yes. I know it. But I'm not ready to meet Papa with my current condition."

"I'm sure, Papa you can also definitely accept all of this Mentari. Until when do you hide here. Poor Papa you. He must be looking for you now."

Tok tok...

On the sidelines of Mentari and Lisa chatting, suddenly a knock from outside the house Lisa was heard.

"Wait a minute. I open the door first" Lisa said.

Lisa stood up. He then stepped up to open the door of his room.

"Mama, what's wrong?" ask Lisa

"Lisa's. Where's Mentari?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"The commentary is inside" Lisa replied.

"Lisa's. In front was his father Mentari. Fadlan brought him here."

"Oh yes."

"Now, take Mentari outside. Let him see his father."

"Where are they now?"

"Now they're in the living room."

"Good Ma."

"Yes already. Mom went there first."

Lisa nodded.

Mrs Ratih then left Mentari's room. Meanwhile, Lisa, stepped in to approach Mentari.

"Drill out" said Lisa.

The sun looked at Lisa.

"What's up Lis?" ask Mentari.

"Follow me yuk!" take Lisa.

"Where are you going?"

"There's Mas Fadlan ahead."

Smiling mentari. "Doctor Fadlan's here?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The sun rises from its seat. After that, he approached Lisa.

"We'll meet him yuk!" take Lisa.

Mentari. Lisa then took Mentari to get to the living room.

Mentari was surprised, when in the living room, it already seemed his father was in front.

"Papa" said Mentari.

Mr. Riko looked at his son. Her three-month-old daughter disappeared without any news.

"Monitor" said Mr. Fadlan.

Mr. Fadlan stood up. After that, Mr. Fadlan stepped towards Mentari. He then hurriedly hugged his beloved son.

"Hiks..hiks ..papa..." Mentari was crying so much in her father's arms.

They both cried in their arms.

Mr. Riko cupped his son's face and stared fixedly at Mentari who had since been divorced from tears.

Mr. Riko embraced Mentari and stepped towards the sofa. Mr. Riko then invited Mentari to sit on the sofa.

Mentari and her father then sat on the sofa. Lisa also sat next to her husband.

"Son Fadlan, son Lisa, thank you very much, because all this time you have been willing to take good care of my daughter. I don't know what my daughter's fate would be if there were no Nak Fadlan and Nak Lisa. May God repay you both for the good. I'll take my son home now. Because I'm home alone."

Mentari looked at his father.

"Pa, I'm sorry Pa. I let Papa down. I can't take care of myself, Pa. And now...Hiks..hiks..."

Mentari was no longer able to speak. Looks like he wants to explain everything that happened to Mr. Riko. But he couldn't. He could only cry and cry.

Mr. Riko wiped off Mentari's tears.

"Papa knows everything from Nak Fadlan. Son Fadlan has told me everything is the same papa. Why don't you tell Papa Mentari about your condition. Why do you have to leave the house and not want to contact papa. Papa this is your parents son. Whatever your condition, Papa will always love you and support you," said Mr. Fadlan at length.

The sun wiped away her tears.

"Monitorous. Better, now you come with Papa you go home. Poor Papa you are Mentari" said Fadlan.

"Yes. I'll come with Papa home. I will be ready first yes Pa," said Mentari while looking closely at his father.

Mr. Riko nodded.

Then I looked at Lisa.

"Lisa's. I'll take care of my clothes. I'll come with Papa I'm home."

Lisa smile.

"I'll help you" Lisa said.

Mentari. After that, they stepped into the room to clean up.

Mentari then tidied up all his clothes and he then put his clothes into a bag of clothes.

Then I looked at Lisa. She hugged Lisa.

"Thank you for all your help Lisa," said Mentari.

Lisa let go of her embrace. After that he looked at Mentari.

"Monitorous. I am now your friend. Even if we split up, we will still be friends. After you get back home, you promise you don't forget me."

Smiling mentari.

"There's a chance I'll forget you and all your kindness Lisa. You and Fadlan are good people. May God, always repay all your kindness."

Lisa and Mentari then stepped away from the room. They headed towards the living room. They then sat down to blend in with Fadlan and Mr. Riko.

"Monitorous. Are you ready?" ask Mr. Riko.

Mentari.

"I'm ready Pa. But I want permission first with Aunt Ratih and Om Bandi."

"Oh. Yes, son."

Mentari then asked permission from Lisa's father and mother. After that, they all stepped forward to escort Mentari and Pak Riko.

"Bu Ratih, Mr. Bandi, thank you for your kindness to my son" said Mr. Riko before leaving Lisa's house.

"Yes together Mr. Riko," said Mr. Bandi.

Madam Ratih just smiled. He seemed happy because Mentari had met his father and wanted to go home with his father.

Mentari and Mr. Riko then get into Fadlan's car. After that they left Lisa's house.

Fadlan took a long journey to get to Mr. Riko's house. It might take almost half an hour, from Lisa's house to Riko's.

Mentari since then, still leaning on his father's shoulder. While Fadlan since then, still occasionally staring at Mentari and Pak Riko who sat behind.

Fadlan is also happy to see Mentari who has been able to meet her father and reunite with her father.

Arriving in front of Mr. Riko's house, Fadlan, Mentari, and Mr. Riko got out of his car.

"Son Fadlan, don't you want to go inside?" ask Mr. Riko.

"No need to Om. It's night. Next time, come by."

"Yes already. Then, Om go in first. Come Mentari...!"

"Later Pa. I want to talk to Doctor Fadlan."

"Please!"

Mr. Riko then stepped inside leaving Mentari and Fadlan..

"Doctor, thank you. Because the doctor wanted to take me home. Who told Papa's house doctor I was?"

"I know from the newspapers. Your father, looking for you through the newspapers on the missing persons search list. Don't you feel like your dad loves you."

"I know it's Doctor. Thanks for all your help. And I'm sorry, if I've always bothered you and done you wrong."

"Yes Mentari. You sleep, it's night. If there's anything with your content, you call me right away. I'll always be ready to help you."

"Yes Doctor."
