The Young Master's Substitute

Worrying

This morning, the sunlight had already burst into the cracks of Fabian's bedroom window.

Fabian opened his eyes. He looked towards the wall clock. Time has reached number seven. Fabian inching to sit. He then stepped out of his room.

"Mama... Mama...!" exclaim Fabian while going down the stairs.

He stepped down. However, Fabian looked under deserted. There's no one there.

Fabian was looking for his mother and father. However, Ms. Reva and Mr. Damar, did not appear to be inside the house. Fabian was looking into the room, forward, back, but he didn't see his mother. Fabian then stepped towards the kitchen. There was only his wife there.

"Syanum" said Fabian.

Syanum turned to her husband.

"Young master. What's up?"

"Why is home so quiet? where are people going?" ask Fabian.

"I don't know where your parents went, young master. But all I know is that my father went to drive Mbak Asih to the market."

"So, we're just the two of us in this house?"

"Well, not really. There will still be fish, cats." said Syanum while slicing vegetables in front of him.

"Not funny Syanum." Fabian then left Syanum.

Syanum is just a head shake. Syanum did not want to bother, with the attitude of the young master who is now her husband's status.

Syanum will always assume that the marriage never happened. Because if he thought about how Fabian treated himself, it would hurt him even more.

Fabian since then, still pacing around inside the house. He has been trying to contact his mother and father. Her parents' cell phones were inactive.

"Where are papa and mama. They're not usually like this." Fabian looked worried.

After a while, Shannon came to him.

"Young man, I'm cooking. Is the young master going to eat first?" ask Syanum.

Fabian turned towards Syanum.

"Syanum. Why aren't my parents' phones active?"

"Yes obviously not active young master. Your mom and dad, don't take the phone. Because they missed in the room."

Fabian patted his forehead.

"Correct? it's not on the phone that's active."

"Yes. I was cleaning up in your mom and dad's room. And hape mama and papa are on the bed."

Syanum then stepped back into the kitchen.

'Why do I have to have a husband like him. I was always in Cuekin every day. I was never considered a wife. I'm still considered a maid. When did I get a husband who is considerate, romantic, and super good like the husband in the soap operas in tivi.'

Syanum then stepped outside. As usual, after the cooking task was completed, she came out to water the flowers in the front garden of the house.

Despite being the wife of a rich man like Fabian, Syanum still wants to do maid duties. His marriage to Fabian, did not want to make Syanum a proud and reckless person.

"Syanum...! Shannum...!" exciting Fabian.

Fabian stepped outside to meet Syanum who was now watering flowers in the front garden of the house. Syanum who was watering the flowers, immediately stopped its activities. She looked at her husband and approached him.

"Yes sir, what did the young master call me?" ask Syanum.

"Please, get me ready to eat. I'm so hungry."

"Where the hell sir, I was eating. But you didn't want to."

"So I'm not hungry yet, Syanum...!" Fabian had already raised his tone.

"Yes already. We're eating now." Syanum then rushed into the house.

"We? really, I ate with the village woman" Fabian said as he stepped in to follow his wife.

Arriving at the dining room, Fabian sat down. He waited for his wife to prepare the food.

Fabian could only stare at the food. Since then, his mind has been empty. It seems he's thinking back to Mentari. He didn't touch any of the food.

While Syanum, he had taken a plate and poured rice and side dishes into his plate. After that, he ate alone.

'Where exactly are you Mentari. I miss you, ' Inner Fabian.

Fabian was awakened from his daydream. He was surprised to see Syanum at the dinner table with him.

"Syanum. Why are you eating here?" ask Fabian.

Syanum.

"Ep... I. i..."Syanum. He was confused as to what he was going to say.

"Who told you to sit down and have breakfast with me? you don't deserve to be at this dinner table, Syanum."

"But yesterday, Mr. Damar and Mrs Reva, told me to come eat here."

"But I don't like you being here Syanum. Make my appetite go away."

Syanum lowered his gaze. He looks very sad. And since yesterday, Bu Reva and Mr. Damar, told him to eat semeja with them. Because now Syanum has become part of their family.

But now, Syanum was even expelled by her own husband.

"Why are you so dumb...! take your food to the kitchen...!"

"Okay, young master."

Syanum then took his plate to the kitchen. He continued eating in the kitchen.

Syanum eats while crying. What a heart her husband. She still thinks Syanum is a maid. I don't know when Fabian will treat Syanum like a maid.

****

The car horn was heard from outside Fabian's house. After eating, Fabian stepped forward.

"Looks, it's mama and papa. They've gone where yes. Why would they leave, they didn't tell me first. It makes me anxious" said Fabian.

Fabian opened the front door. However, Fabian was disappointed after he saw that coming instead to his two parents. Except the Asih with Mr. Herman in-laws.

Ma'am Asih got out of his car. While Mr. Herman, open the trunk of the car to take the luggage of Mbak Asih.

"Sir Herman. Please bring all these items to the kitchen yes," Pinta Mbak Asih.

"Yes." Yeah."

Mr. Herman then took the items to the kitchen. Looks like this morning, Ma'am Asih shopping a lot. She was shopping, kitchen needs as usual.

"Mba Asih's. Wait," said Fabian.

"Where are you from?"

"Eh, young master. I just went shopping to the market. Because the needs in the kitchen are running out," replied Mbak Asih.

"Oh. Do you know where my mom and dad are going?"

"I don't know young Master. I went to the market early in the morning. Why not just go to his wife. Syanum's not going anywhere today."

"Syanum doesn't know either."

"Why not call."

"They don't take hape."

"Of course not usually, the Madam and the Great Lord did not take the hape. There might be something important Young master that made them leave in a hurry."

"Yes. Maybe Ma'am. Yes already. Ma'am just carry on with her stuff."

Mbak Asih nodded. After that, he went into the house.

"Where did mom and dad go. Why they didn't go with hape. And my feeling, why not so good. What's really going on" Fabian muttered
