Will Not Be Substituted

Cute

The night is very late. The day almost changed. However, the glasses girl who was looking at the monitor screen in a room still could not sleep. The net looks tired. However, his body was not rested.

The girl's mind was still drifting on the scene a few hours ago. When he accidentally saw someone he was waiting for.

“Dean?”

“Dean! Dean!”

Caca ran after a figure that never disappeared from his head. In the middle of the shopping center crowd, the girl called out the name of the lover who should have married her some time ago.

“Dean,” call Caca again as the young man's back is getting swallowed up by the crowd.

That night in front of a famous clothing store was opening a massive discount, until the time swarmed the place and blocked the view of Caca.

Trying to shake off the human crowd there, Caca lost the figure he had been chasing since. The girl slammed onto the floor, she almost found her lover, but fate said something else.

Remembering something. The girl stood up before reaching into her bag and picking up her phone. He contacted someone who had been asked for help since yesterday.

“Ha-hello, sir,” said Caca when the phone was connected.

“Pak, I-sa-I saw Dean at the mall near grandfather's office. But I didn't manage to catch up with him. W-did you find his whereabouts?” ask the girl stammer.

Indeed, since Dean disappeared on the wedding day, Caca asked a man to find the whereabouts of the lover without his father's knowledge. Caca knew the middle-aged man wouldn't like it if he did. However, Caca could not stay silent with what was happening to him. He must know how his lover is.

“Dean? Sorry, Miss. We haven't found Dean's whereabouts until now. Maybe Miss was wrong,” replied the Caca man.

“But, Pak–”

“Take it easy, Miss. We'll find your lover soon. You take it easy,” said the man reassuringly.

Caca could only nod to confirm the man's words. After saying thank you, the girl hung up the phone and put her phone in her jacket pocket.

“Actually where are you, De? Is it true that dad said, that you deliberately ran away and didn't really want to marry me?” muttered Caca in such a soft voice.

“Not sleeping, lo?”

Caca heard Abhimanyu's voice. The man was already standing next to himself sitting on the floor with his laptop out. Looks like Caca's daydreaming long enough not to notice.

The girl looked at Abhimanyu for a moment, then shook her head. He turned on his laptop to continue with the task.

“Udah malem, still want to continue?” the young man asked, sitting on the sofa behind Caca. He just woke up when his sleep was interrupted by the feeling of wanting to urinate. When he came out of the bathroom, Abhimanyu found his wife staring blankly at the laptop that had been extinguished.

“Not finished,” replied Caca indifferently. He re-launched his finger on the laptop keyboard with agility.

“That's material for campus socialization?” Abhimanyu scanned his wife's laptop screen. Then, he continued to talk, “Udah, completed tomorrow aja, Ca. It's so malem.”

Abhimanyu seized his wife's laptop by force. Then, turn off the laptop after saving the file that was just created by the girl.

“Bi–”

“Gue does not want my father Banyu angry because his daughter stayed up late,” said the young man while saving the wife's laptop.

Abhimanyu was about to re-energize himself, but was stopped because he remembered something.

“Ca, mobile phone lo die?” ask Abhimanyu while sitting down again.

Caca looked at his phone, then shook his head.

“Dad Banyu just asked why you did not pick up his phone,” said Abhimanyu honestly. When Caca came home, his father-in-law called and asked where Caca was. Abhimanyu also explained that the girl had just arrived at the house and was bathing. After that Banyu disconnected their phone after saying thank you.

“Not dead, only again I'm silent,” Caca replied looking unconcerned. He immediately broke down after Abhimanyu did not ask again.

Abhimanyu looked strangely at his wife. He felt something was awkward about the girl's attitude, but he tried not to care. The young man then resumed his sleep which was delayed.

The day has changed. The sun has risen very high. However, Caca was still diving into a dream. The girl was still tightening her blanket when her cell phone alarm went off. Until the ringing to so, the girl finally woke up and turned off the alarm.

Weekend. Always makes Caca feel lazy to get out of bed. He could never wake up in the morning. The girl yawned widely while stretching her body. Sleeping on the sofa made her whole body feel very stiff. The girl who had just woken up seemed to be combing through the room and she felt that there was something strange.

Abhimanyu

The young man did not appear on his bed as he had seen him last time. Abhimanyu who usually could not get up early, that morning had gone out of nowhere. However, Caca did not care and rushed to the bathroom.

“Buwn up?” ask Nabila, when Caca just walked into the kitchen.

Caca grimaced, then scratched his neck that felt itchy suddenly.

“Sorry, yes, Bun. I if the weekend likes to wake up late,” said the girl was a little sorry.

Nabila smiled. He put a few pieces of vegetables into a pot of boiling water, then replied, “No papa, Ca. Abi is the opposite. If it's a weekend he can wake up early, but if it's a normal day ..” Nabila shook her head. “You know for yourself, yes,” continued the woman while chuckling.

Caca chuckled like her mother-in-law. He just found out, a young man like Abhimanyu could not get up in the morning on a normal day. In fact, the young man always looks disciplined while on campus.

“You want to cook yourself or join Mommy?” tanya Nabila jerks Caca's daydreams.

“Ikut Mommy aja, it's noon, males,” replied the girl while showing a row of white teeth.

“Sayur sop?” ask Caca when looking at processed Nabila.

Nabila. Then ask Caca to continue his cooking. While the woman came out of the kitchen, because there was a call from the house phone.

“Why every day Mommy cook processed do not care?” ask the girl when her mother-in-law has returned.

Nabila. “Kan Abhimanyu does not like pedes. So, every day Mother cook two menus. Now you always help cook, so Mother stay to cook for your husband only,” explained the woman.

For a moment Caca was silent. Now he knows why Abhimanyu never touched his cooking. However, there was still one thing that stuck in Caca's mind. How can a man not like to eat spicy?

“Later if you have taken it there, yes, Ca,” pinta Nabila from the direction of the kitchen door. The woman then prepared two plates and two glasses for breakfast.

“Hah? Yes, Bun,” replied Caca a little surprised, because he had daydreamed.

Caca moved the vegetable soup into a medium-sized clear bowl. Then he asked a housekeeper to bring the processed mother to the dining table. As a lover of spicy food, Caca intends to make sambal as a companion of chicken soup made by Nabila.

“It looks like this month I haven't been able to get into the office, Dad,” Abhimanyu told Arjuna.

Currently, Abhimanyu and his father and sister are at a roadside chicken porridge stand. They had just been biking together, an activity they never left on weekends.

“Why?” The middle-aged man raised next to his eyebrows, asking for the son's excuse.

“For one month there will be campus socialization. I was appointed coordinator,” obviously the young man.

“Lo BEM chairman right, yes?” ask Dio to make sure.

“Where, Yah?” ask Abhimanyu.

“You must be smart to divide the time, Bi. I don't ask you to come to the office every day. But, not next month too, over time,” replied the man while sipping mineral water to relieve his thirst.

“Yah–”

“Bi, I will not prevent you from doing activities on campus, but you also have to remember the responsibility. Even though you don't like Caca, she's your wife. Someone you should live with.”

Arjuna looked at his third son with stern eyes. Since long ago he never complained about Abhimanyu activities that seemed very dense. However, the situation is different now. Abhimanyu was married and Arjuna could not let his son continue to support him. Although working in his own company, at least Abhimanyu can earn income with his hard work.

“You can come to the office when there is lunch hour or when your college hours are not until the afternoon. You also do not have to go to the office every day. But, at least you help-help your brother's work,” Arjuna's advice.

The young man nodded before feeding a spoon of porridge into his mouth.

“So, I can start when?”

“As far as you are, but not next month.”

“What's next week, Dad? This week like I can not be represented let alone Wednesday has started its activities. I can't possibly not come,” asked Abhimanyu for an opinion.

Arjun thought for a moment before finally nodding his head.

“Yes, no papa,” replied Arjuna.

They returned to their chicken porridge. Sometimes Arjuna invites his two sons to have a light chat, such as asking how their activities during this one week at school and on campus.

While relaxing like this, Arjun was indeed looking for an opportunity to chat with his daughter's son. He did not want to spend their time together on holidays, even though he was working a lot. To him, children are more than anything.

The day is getting day by day. The sun also increases, causing a feeling of heat on the surface of the skin. Arjuna also let his two sons return home after the porridge of the three had gone clean and their fatigue had subsided.

It did not take long for the three to get home, because the distance of the porridge stand with their house was not too far away.

After parking the bike, Dio and Abhimanyu immediately entered the house, while Arjuna was still chatting with one of their neighbors.

“Lo ngerjain what, Kak?” Dio asked Caca who was opening the laptop in the living room.

Caca turned her head to hear the voice of her sister-in-law. “Ngerjain duty, In,” replied the girl.

Dio loosened up, seeing what kind of task Caca meant.

“Bang, this is not an activity that you talked about earlier?” Dio asked as Abhimanyu flashed behind him.

Abhimanyu stopped, followed by looking at the screen of Caca's laptop. “Iya, why?” the answer.

“Kok, you did not help Kak Caca make the presentation materials? Said lo coordinator.”

“He is also the coordinator,” Abhimanyu replied as he sat down beside Caca.

“Still not finished? What do you want to help?”

Caca looked at her husband. From the side the young man looked more handsome with sweat splashing on his forehead and neck.

“What are you helping with?” ask Abhimanyu again when there is no response from his wife.

“Hah? Em, there later .. em, I still forgot to ask which one,” replied the girl nervously.

What do you think of me? his inner.

“Now I am here.”

“Mandi first time, Bi. Still dry, lo. Smell,” burok Caca.

Abhimanyu raised his eyebrows. Pulling his own shirt collar for him to smell the scent.

“My sweat scented, Ca. Mostly girls if you see handsome guys dry usually even mists,” said the young man confidently.

Caca's eyebrows are tangled up suddenly. His lips were next to his, disagreeing with what Abhimanyu said.

“That's for a handsome guy. How to get handsome?” cibir Caca blatantly. Her shoulders shuddered, her head shaking in disbelief her husband was so confident. Even though what Abhimanyu said is true.

“Well, am I handsome right?” reply Abhimanyu more confident. His chin was dedicated to his sister asking for approval.

“Udah yes, Bi. Now you take a shower, Abis that help me. Nih! I have a lot to ask you!” Caca showed some writing that she would make materials for a campus socialization event to her husband.

“Ya asked now.” Abhimanyu still kekeh did not want to bathe first, because he was still very tired. He still wants to rest.

“Mandi first, Bi!”

“Entar, Ca!”

“Now!”

“Later aja”

“Now!”

“Nan–”

“Abi!” Nabila cut off Abhimanyu's objection to Caca.

“Mandi now! you are a habit, never take a shower.” Nabila put a sharp eye on her son.

Abhimanyu's habits have never changed. The young man was very difficult to be told to take a shower immediately after exercising.

“But, Bun–”

“You can argue again Abhimanyu Lakeswara?”

Abhimanyu. He stood up as his beloved mother called him by his full name. It was a sign that her mother was already very annoyed with her.

“So that's it, huh, Bun?” Caca asked as Abhimanyu had already run into the room.

“That's how?” ask Nabila back.

“Sok handsome”

“Lah, isn't Abi handsome?” Nabila chuckled to find her daughter-in-law surprised.
