The Young Master's Substitute

The Boutique.

"alright. I won't be here long. I'm here, actually just want to remind Mentari. Please, jauhin Fabian Mentari. He has a wife now. And his wife is pregnant. Please Om please, jauhin Fabian! Let Fabian with his wife be happy Mentari" Om Damar said, pleading.

Mentari wiped her tears. He then looked closely at Mr. Damar's face.

"yes Om. Now Abi and I have no relationship anymore. I'll try to stay away from the Om boy. Nor do I want to be a thorn in their home life. Just be calm and don't worry about it. I will never take a man who already has a wife" Mentari said.

"Good, if you want to understand Syanum," said Mr. Damar.

"Sir Damar just calm down. I assure you, that my son will never be a bully of your son's household sir."

"Alright Mr. Riko, Mentari. Then, excuse me for going home first."

Mr. Damar got up from his seat. He then stepped away from the Mentari house.

Mr. Damar got back in his car. After that, he drove his car to his house.

Syanum was still standing by the window of his room. After a week or so she was at Luna's house, there was nothing she could do now. Because every day, he was always nauseous, making him so unable to do any work. Though he really wanted to help Luna, doing homework.

Luna opened the door to her room. He looked towards Syanum and approached him.

"Sister."

Syanum turned towards Luna and smiled.

"Luna. What's up?"

"You're coming with me?"

"Where are you going?"

"From my brother bengong aja at home, mending Brother come with me aja yuk!"

"Where are you going?" ask Syanum again.

"So, you'll know for yourself."

"alright. I'll come with you Lun. I'm also very bored if at home just bengong aja and do not do anything."

"Well, what are you waiting for. Brother change clothes, I wait in front huh. After that, we'll leave."

"Yes." Yeah."

Luna then stepped outside from her room. While Syanum, quickly get ready to follow Luna away.

After the two of them were ready, Luna and Syanum then got into the car. They then slide out of the house.

"Where exactly are we going, Lun?" ask Syanum. He did not know, Luna would take him where.

"I want to go to my new boutique, sister" said Luna on the sidelines driving.

"New boutique? you got a boutique?"

"Yes Brother. I have a boutique, Brother. And it's only been three months running. And I have some employees there."

"Oh yeah? wow, that's so great you Lun! still young, it turns out to be business."

"Yes, that's it, brother. I want to be an independent woman, sister. I don't want to marry tomorrow, I have to rely on my husband. Mending that husband is good. What if my house is like my sister. Not as smooth as I imagined."

Syanum smile.

"You don't tell me that's Lun. Not all men are like that. It just so happened that Fabian and I didn't love each other. So it's free that I hang with him. We better let go than we should survive, but eat a lot."

"Yes Kak. I was afraid of marriage. If her husband's like Fabian's sister, and he's never to blame."

Syanum is learning to forget his love for Fabian. Even if it is very difficult. Moreover, she was now pregnant with Fabian's child. But Syanum's resolve was already unanimous. If the child is born, he wants a divorce from Fabian.

And Syanum will take the boy to his mother's village. Because that's where Syanum was born and raised. Syanum is sure, Syanum can definitely be a good single mom for his son.

Syanum breathed deeply. His sight was pointing outside the car. When she was silent, somehow the shadow of her husband always appeared in her mind.

But Syanum always tried to brush off the shadows.

"Sister. We're going down yuk!" take Luna.

Syanum. He still looks dreamy.

"Sir Syanum..! what are you thinking about again?"

Syanum turned towards Luna.

"Eh Lun's. Kok. Did you get there?"

"Yes Brother. Let's get down!" take Luna.

"Yes." Yeah."

Syanum and Luna then got out of their car.A woman in her thirties, suddenly approached Luna and Syanum.

"Mbak Luna's. From yesterday, why did you come?" ask Ismi a woman who Luna made manager in her boutique.

"Oh. Yes, Ms. Ismi. I've got a lot of work to do. I just opened a new salon. And have to take care of it first" replied Luna.

"Oh, that's it, Ma'am."

"What's the condition of the boutique?" ask Luna.

"Alhamdulillah Ma'am. It's still as crowded as ever."

"Thank God then. Oh yea. Familiarize. This is my cousin's wife. His name is Syanum." Luna introduces Syanum to Ismi.

Syanum and Ismi then shake hands.

"I'm Ismi's employee Ms. Luna."

"I'm Syanum."

"Syanum. We're into yuk! any time you want to look at the clothes inside!" take Luna.

"Yes." Yeah."

Syanum and Luna then enter the boutique.

"Well, that's really cool, Lun. At your young age, you can have a salon and a boutique. You have employees too."

"Yes dong. And this is all thanks to the help of my parents. My parents, who gave me the capital to open boutiques and salons. If Syanum wants to study with me. I'll teach brother. So that you can become an independent woman and not always rely on Fabian."

"Hehe. I can only be Lun's employee. If I were like you, I couldn't. Because I'm just a high school graduate. I have no experience at all in this kind of business. If you're, you're graduating from college."

"Sir Syanum. Everyone can be like me. Just so he wants to learn. Nothing is impossible, brother. If God had wanted to, everything would have happened. If you want to learn to do business with me, I'll teach you."

"But I don't have the capital."

"Sister, that brother is the son-in-law of the richest man. If the capital is mah, ask to Om Damar. He would definitely give it to my sister. Especially in my sister's womb, there's her grandson."

"Well, let's see Lun's call later."

Cring.. cring ...

Fabian's alarm clock has sounded. Fabian opened his eyes. He then took the small clock that was beside him to sleep. Time has shown five in the morning. Fabian opened his eyes and sat up. He then turned off his alarm.

Hoaamm...

Fabian stared at the wall and looked at the photo of his bride with Syanum.

After the picture frame broke into pieces, Fabian replaced the picture frame with a new one.

"Syanum. Why did you go Syanum. Why do you leave me when I need you. Who else would serve me. I miss Syanum with you. There's no you, I feel like there's something missing in me" Fabian murmured.

In his heart, Fabian missed Syanum. He wants Syanum back by his side. But Fabian sometimes thought that Syanum might not be his match.

"Syanum. Maybe all this time you could never love me. In the past, you said the same to me. If we're going to try to accept each other and try to love each other. But in fact, you deny yourself that your words are Syanum. Now you go and don't know anymore. Maybe you and Mentari are not my soul mate."
