Will Not Be Substituted

20

Banyu invited besan and his son-in-law to lunch at one of his restaurants. The location is not too far from the hospital makes them do not need to take a lot of time to get there.

Caca's father allowed his new family to order anything they wanted. The five-star restaurant has all kinds of elite food, which may be commonly eaten by the upper class like Arjuna.

After recording the order, the two servants who had served them had resigned themselves to prepare all the dishes they had written.

“So, this is your restaurant Mr Banyu?” ask Arjun.

“No need to be too formal Mr. Arjun. We are besan, so it's normal,” pinta Banyu in a joking tone.

“Yes, this is my restaurant. I opened it when Caca was two months old. At that time we were still renting shophouses, over time our customers more and more and our turnover also increased sharply, so we could build our own restaurant,” replied Banyu while remembering his past. He smiled proudly remembering that time.

“Wah, it seems like you are indeed talented in business,” praise Arjun. He did not expect Banyu to have several elite restaurants built by himself with his savings. The man was obviously very amazed by Banyu's shrewdness in managing his business finances.

“Caca seems to be going down your smarts. I saw he was very deft while doing his work at home.” Arjuna smiled proudly at his son-in-law. Makes Caca blush in shame.

Banyu laughs. He admitted that. It's not wrong he asked Caca to run a cafe when the girl was one semester. Because in fact, everything will end in goodness for the girl.

“Ya, maybe like that.”

Their conversation momentarily came to a halt as the waiter prepared the dish on the table. They resigned after finishing arranging Banyu's order perfectly.

“Please enjoy, Sir, Bu” said Banyu to Arjun and Nabila.

Everyone started taking their own orders. Caca's order that was accidentally placed a little far away from him made the girl ask Abhimanyu for help to take it.

“Bi, fetch that dong. My hand is not slapped, nih,” pinta Caca on the husband.

Abi took Caca's food without objection. The young man was too hungry to argue with his wife. Moreover, there are parents and also in-laws there. Wouldn't it be a shame if they were to argue just for the little things.

“After this you want to go where else, Bi?” caca asked at her meal.

“Back. Where are you going?”

“Anterin me to the bookstore daftar, huh? It takes a lot, here. Maya new ngabarin book requested by lecturer tomorrow must already exist.”

“Iya, later I anter.”

The conversation of Abhimanyu and Caca momentarily stopped the mouthful of Orange. The woman seemed to be watching the two closely. Presumably the ear of Orange caught something strange from the conversation, so he voiced it.

“You still use lo-gue when chatting?”

Abhimanyu and Caca looked at each other. They nodded stiffly at the same time.

“You are already husband and wife do not deserve you to call each other like that. You should get used to me-you. Especially you, brother. You should appreciate Abi more as your husband.” There was no anger from the orange. It's just that a row of firm sentences that always succeed to make Caca did not dare to answer.

“Regardless of how you were married, you should be able to understand how each of you is positioned. This is for both of you, so don't blame each other,” added Jingga when she saw the eyes of Caca and Abhimanyu as if to blame each other.

“Dad agrees with Doctor Jingga. Actually, I have wanted to reprimand them for a long time, but I was too busy to forget. They themselves were also rarely at home and rarely interacted in front of me. So, I always forget to reprimand them,” said Arjuna. The middle-aged man placed his spoon and propped his elbow on the table.

Caca and Abhimanyu could only nod. They both could not argue, even the gaze of protest they did not dare to show.

They continued their delayed lunch. Occasionally Nabila opened his voice to melt the seemingly slightly awkward atmosphere after Jingga advised the young couple.

When they finished, they talked for a while. Talk about a few things about their respective jobs.

Abhimanyu and Caca remained silent. They both thought of the orange advice about the call they should use. They both want to refuse, but they certainly can't.

The daydreams of the two were scattered as their parents moved. They followed the four men out of the restaurant.

Caca and Abhimanyu greeted their parents before splitting up in the restaurant's parking lot.

Since then Caca just exhaled heavily. He and Abhimanyu had no voice at all on the way to the bookstore. It felt so awkward for Caca.

“Ca,”

After minutes they walked around the bookstore in silence, Abhimanyu finally opened his voice.

“This we really have to use me you when chatting?”

Caca, who initially did not want to look, finally turned to Abhimanyu. The girl stopped suddenly making Abhimanyu almost hit Caca's front body.

“Ndon't know either. Males knows to wear me-you. Strange,” replied the girl with a pouting face.

“But, if not according to the advice of mama, same bangkang same parents.” Caca stared blankly towards the front. The girl was very much in a dilemma just because of a call to her husband.

Abhimanyu leaned his body on the bookshelf. The young man also seemed to disagree with what Jingga had ordered. However, he himself could not argue.

“Why don't we try it, Ca? That is, yes, time at home. If on campus ..” Abhimanyu scratched his head. He's getting confused. If they look very familiar on campus, it will not bring suspicion to the two twin friends.

“Eh but, do we rarely meet on campus?” Abhimanyu looked at Caca asking for an opinion.

“That's it, follow my mom's orders. Yeah, it's designed, Ca. Rather than disobeying the same parents,” proposed Abhimanyu after trying to think fast.

Caca's breath is wasted heavily. He turned his body against Abhimanyu. His head looked up to look into the young man's eyes. Then, extend a hand right in front of Abhimanyu.

“Deal?”

“Deal” replied Abhimanyu as he grabbed the girl's palm.
