Will Not Be Substituted

Nightmares

Carrying out obligations as a husband at a young age never existed in the shadow of Abhimanyu. The twenty-one-year-old never thought of marrying young. Not just because you don't have a boyfriend. His world that was still very exciting was always a consideration for the young man.

If not for his father, maybe now Abhimanyu does not have to sit in front of his computer with one of the company's employees. The young man was not prestigious, it was just that the intention to work was still not fully gathered. He is still hesitant with his knowledge and skills, which are certainly still below average.

After arguing with the first sister, Abhimanyu finally stretched his body which was very stiff. The young man looked at someone beside him.

“Mas, this I can rest yet anyway? Tired of this,” complained Abhimanyu to someone who had taught him since.

“Bby, Mas. Said Mr. Riyo, Mas Abi can rest after the work is done. It was also awaited in his room,” said the man told.

Abhimanyu looked at his watch before thanking the employee.

Time has shown at six in the afternoon. That means Abhimanyu has been staring at the computer for four hours without pause, as he started at two this afternoon.

“Bang, for dinner dong. This layer is me,” said Abhimanyu after entering the room of the brother.

“Lebai lo, Bi. It's a laper,” lipstick Riyo without looking at the sister.

The twenty-six-year-old glanced at his sister who was grunting while sitting .. wrong, laying down on the sofa of his room. Riyo could only shake her head at the behavior of this third sister.

“My work cannot be reduced, Bang? The first day is that much?” Abhimanyu complained that his work had not been done.

“Lo is not used to it yet, Bi. Entar if it is common work so ordinary.”

“Ya, but, Bang ..”

“Lo if you want to argue, directly to father, do not go to me.”

“But, Bang ..”

“Bi!”

Abhimanyu was speechless to see the look in his brother's eyes turned sharp. He knew that meant he could no longer argue.

“Lo now has a wife, has a big responsibility. I even sepet denger lo's wife even already work help father-in-law lo ngurus cafe that is beside the campus lo. You are not ashamed to lose to your own wife?”

Tired steps led Abhimanyu into his private room. The room that he now occupies is not only. However, there was a beautiful girl who also used it.

Putting his body on the bed. Abhimanyu stared at the ceiling of his room. Remembering the brother's words made the young man think.

True, Caca who is currently in college semester four has started his career. What he as a man will not feel ashamed, if one day someone will talk about it. Especially if someone compares it to his wife.

Abhimanyu exhaled a tired breath. It was difficult when he already had a wife. If he did not approve of his uncle, maybe Abhimanyu is still enjoying the atmosphere of the cafe with his friends. He can still participate in casual chatting with his friends, or just futsal training on the campus field.

Again and again Abhimanyu exhaled a long breath. That sense of regret too often gnawed at his mind. However, for a moment he remembered Dean, his cousin who was none other than a man who should have married his wife.

In his head sometimes still guess where the man is at this time. I want it to feel like Abhimanyu is showering the irresponsible man with raw bogem. That guy really made it hard.

“New home too?”

Too long daydreaming made Abhimanyu unconscious that his wife had entered the room. The girl placed her bag on the sofa and sat next to it while leaning her head.

“Lo every day back at this hour?” Abhimanyu tilted his recumbent body. Facing Caca who looks so tired.

Caca turned her head to look at her lazy husband. “According to lo?”

Only with that answer did Abhimanyu already know what the girl meant. He then asked again, “Since when did you start helping Banyu's father in the cafe?”

“Start when, yes?. Maybe still semester one,” replied Caca. His memory goes back to his early college days, where his beloved father asked him to become a manager at one of the man's cafes.

Initially Caca also disagreed, because he thought the job was very difficult and he still wanted to be like other students who could walk anywhere. But Caca is enjoying the job. The girl was getting used to the bustle at the cafe. Seeing his employees who want to work hard can always make Caca back up the spirit.

“Lo seneng works there?” ask Abhimanyu.

“Yes, please, Bi. If not, I've been out of there a long time. Udah deh, you will not understand how it feels to be able to chat or horrin curhatan lo employees. With you working, yes, you can be more grateful with what you have, because from each of their stories, you will know how it feels to be a difficult person and ..”

Caca continued to tell about his excitement at the cafe. Secretly Abhimanyu watched the girl speak. There is a sense of awe that is still attached since yesterday and will increase with today.

Although the girl often said spicy to her friends, in fact, the girl also had a warm heart. It is seen from how much Caca cares for his employees. Caca also never looked at the social status of others. The girl never differentiates one person from another. For Caca all the same, which is not the same only those who behave well and not well.

“Maya where the hell, Sof? Why not sign in today?”

Sofi turned her body back. Placing his hands on the back of the chair then replied, “Not today he socialized the campus with Brother Abi?”

After that first day, Abhimanyu and Caca never again served together. They took turns to accompany their friends. So that they don't leave class too often.

“Ca, can I ask you something?” Sofi combed the whole class, all her friends were out.

Caca narrowed his eyes, staring strangely at Sofi. “Ask, yes ask aja, Sof. Like anyone, lo.”

Sofi bit her lower lip. He still hesitated to question what had long been shackled inside his head.

Flicking a finger in front of Sofi. Caca asked Sofi so ask or not.

“How's Dean doing?”

A second after the question slid, Caca seemed speechless. The girl's head shook slowly. The look on his face turned sad, considering the ex-lover who had no news.

“Gue doesn't know yet. The person I told him to come to now is still silent,”, Caca said as he linked his hands to the table.

“Why the hell, Ca, you are not trying to make him forget and you focus on your relationship with Kak Abi,” Sufi advice. He has long wanted to say this. However, Sofi still feels bad about talking about Dean in front of Caca.

“Not so easy, Sof–”

“Lo never try, Ca,” Sofi said.

“Lo is a moron if you still ngarepin Dean. I'm sure he's escaped,”.

“Lo don't need to bed-wet me, Sof. My best friend isn't it?”

“Yes, because I'm your best friend, Ca. I want you to be happy. And you'll be happy if you forget Dean. Ca, my advice mending you fix the relationship with Abi. I'm sure he's a lot better than Dean.”

“Udah-already. I don't want to be bullshit, lo.”

“Kok, bullshit anyway, Ca? I'm serious!”

“Serious lo it makes my mood ruined you know? My males are the same, lo. I'll unplug it!”

Caca stood up from his seat. Picking up the bag, then walking out of the classroom leaving Sofi alone.

“Ca! Caca!” call Sofi. The girl clucked at Caca's departure.

“Basic rock. Want to be invited to talk about any kayak also still can not,” murmured Sofi.

“The feeling of the child is very far from nyokapnya,” he added while shaking his head. He got out of his seat and will be home soon.

The time had already shown at eleven p.m. as Caca stared at the wall clock in her husband's room. The girl then closed the laptop and tidied up some of her books. After that Caca took a pillow in bed for her to use to sleep on the sofa.

Abhimanyu who was sleeping in bed that night looks to have curled himself under the blanket. The man had also only slept an hour ago after coming home from his father's office.

Caca immediately threw himself on the sofa he had stretched. It was already quite comfortable for the girl at this moment. Caca wanted to go to sleep immediately, but in fact his eyes still felt very fresh until fifteen minutes he broke down.

Since coming home from college, he thought about Sofi's words. He did not expect Sofi would accuse Dean in front of him directly. Caca doesn't like that. His heart always won't accept if someone vilifies Dean right next to his ear.

Caca tried to find a comfortable position so that he could immediately fall asleep and forget what Sofi said to him. He did not want to be angry with his friend. However, when the girl almost closed her eyes, Abhimanyu's voice made Caca have to be vigilant again.

“Don't .. don't .. please don't.”

Caca looked at the agitated looking Abhimanyu. He approached Abhimanyu, afraid something might happen. When she saw her husband's face full of worry, Caca felt pity. It seems that the young man had a bad dream.

“Don't ... don't .. don't .. don't.” Again Abhimanyu murmured like he was threatened.

“Bi, Abi!” Caca patted Abhimanyu's hand to wake the young man up. Many times Caca did, until finally Abhimanyu wanted to open his eyes.

However, a second later Abhimanyu pulled Caca's hand, making the girl fall beside him.

“Bi, relax, Bi!” Caca was struggling a little when suddenly Abhimanyu hugged her tightly.

“Friend me first, I was afraid,” Abhimanyu said in a voice so weak.

Caca can't be cut. He also complies. Seeing Abhimanyu's condition that looks terrible makes Caca heartless. The girl then rubbed Abhimanyu's back several times, until finally she fell asleep as the night darkened.
