Will Not Be Substituted

Prologues

The morning sky is blue. So bright and comfortable to look at. Engrave one smile on every human lip, which he has covered.

The sound of birds blabbing sounded melodious. Straying each other. Connect with the voices of people in a famous hotel ballroom in the city.

Everyone there looked so happy. They use the best suits and apply makeup with super beautiful.

However, different places, different circumstances.

Inside the hotel room, the sound of a girl's cry sounded so bitter. Behind her beautiful wedding dress, her tears fell unstoppable.

The day he thought would be very happy, turned out to be a very surprising day, as well as sad in an instant.

A few minutes ago, he made a sacred wedding vow. But not with his girlfriend.

Sadness, resentment, and anger struggle into one. It also covers his heart and his head. In fact, it almost brought his soul out of his body.

Since yesterday his heart was restless, he did not know because of what. And now he understood, it turns out his lover disappeared on their wedding day. From morning the man could not be reached and no one knew where he was. Even his closest friends once, no one could provide information on where and how he was. But, the girl was sure her lover had not intentionally done this. Something must be going on with that guy. She refused to believe that the man who was supposed to be her husband was gone and would not marry her.

Long time the tears came out. Until the sound of knocking on the door interrupts the girl's hearing. Not wanting to look pathetic, the girl with slightly wavy hair shrunk her tears. His feet stepped towards the door of the hotel room so heavily. His hands always move the door handle to open.

Looks like a middle-aged man. However, it still looked so gallant, standing outside the door. The girl looked at him.

"Can I come in?" asked the middle-aged man gently. He put his foot into the bridal chamber. Closing, then locking it, after getting approval from the girl.

Without a word, the girl hugged her father Banyu–, tightly. She was crying as hard as she could. He overflowed his emotions today, holding his father's sturdy body. The man who was always there for her. The one who never betrayed him.

The man replied to the princess. Sometimes he peeped at the girl's head to calm her down. He knew his daughter's feelings were messed up. However, he could do nothing but embrace her warmly. Covering him with affection he never forgot to show.

"Don't be sad, son. You shouldn't cry today,” said Banyu.

“You remember, didn't you, father's message back then?" banyu said as he rubbed his daughter's head gently, channeling every love he had for the eldest daughter.

"Don't regret it, Ca. Maybe this is indeed God's way to bring you together with your real soul mate," he said again, when he heard the sobs of his daughter getting louder.

"But I don't want to marry her, Dad. I want to marry Dean" said the girl by the name of Caca's greeting while sobbing.

He could no longer hold back any turbulent emotions in his heart. Dad is one of his weaknesses.

"You must remember your promise to Father, Ca. You promised, you'd obey every command of Dad, if Dean messed up at your wedding."

"And now you see. Dean didn't come, he disappeared" he added. They are still faithful in one place.

“Father sure, the man was deliberately playing you and our family,” he continued.

Caca shook his head strongly. "But why did you marry me to your cousin. You can ask me to do something else. You can cut my pocket money for two years. You can confiscate my facility. I'm very willing to do it, Dad,”.

“You should have looked for Dean before asking me to marry that man." Caca looked increasingly frustrated.

"And again, I'm sure Dean's not playing us. I'm sure something happened to him, until Dean didn't come today" Caca said.

Dean loved her, there was no way the man had left her on purpose. What's the reason the guy betrayed her, anyway since the relationship, they're fine. There was never a fight between the two.

Caca felt his father's head shake though faintly. He grew sobbing, because his father no longer believed him.

Banyu stretched his daughter's arms. He framed Caca's face with both hands. Then, rub the tears that had descended on his daughter's cheeks with his thumb. He looked into the eyes of his beloved daughter who was crying, gently.

“Dad can no longer accept that jerk guy anymore, Ca. He has humiliated our family and his own family,”. There was a look of hatred from Banyu when talking about a man named Dean, Caca's lover.

"I'm sorry I forced you to marry Dean's cousin. But, you should also know and be aware of Father's reasoning." Banyu looked at his daughter inside.

"Think, son, if your marriage is cancelled, what will happen?” ask Banyu.

“Our family and the family of Om Kean will definitely be ashamed. All grandfather's colleagues, father's friends, Om Kean's colleagues are invited, dear. They're all here for your reception. Where do we want to put our faces, if until they all know the groom of the eldest daughter Banyu Blue disappeared. The eldest son of Keanu Adi Putra's family is irresponsible, running away on the day of his wedding.

It's not just about you, honey. But about our two great families. And I reaffirm! It's not just you being forced. Abhimanyu Om Arjuna's son was also forced. He did not give himself up to marry you. Mama and dad are asking him to take Dean's place." Banyu let out a long breath.

"And for why my father and mother chose Abhimanyu, because we have known him for a long time. Dad knew about Abhimanyu before Dean, even though Dean's mother was Dad's friend. I know better the nature and attitude of Abhimanyu. He's a lot better than Dean. He'll be the best companion for you, Ca."

“No, Dad, no. I don't like Abi, Dad,” he said more sobbing.

“Ca, Abhimanyu is much better than Dean. He is more deserving to be with you.”

After saying a long word, Banyu left his daughter. However, before that he kissed the girl's forehead. Telling his daughter that he loved her as much as he did, never changed. Not to forget, he also gave a warm embrace to his daughter. Before you actually leave the room.

Caca sat on his wedding bed after his father came out. He cupped his face with both hands. He was crying withholding. Ask her whereabouts in silence. He did not know what kind of fate would play tricks on him. Why did she have to marry someone she hated so much one year ago?.
