Will Not Be Substituted

The flashback 2

Caca and Dean's wedding date has been set. They got married three months after meeting the two families. And now it's just a matter of waiting for one month they will officially become a married couple.

As a parent, Banyu certainly thought highly of the happiness of his eldest daughter. Moreover, Caca was very close to him compared to his other siblings. The more days Banyu made more and more depressed. It felt like there was something stuck in his heart.

His wife who knew about it just tried to calm down by saying, “Maybe it's because you can't be willing to let go of your beloved daughter, Mas. I as the mother also feel the same way, but how else, sooner or later our three children must also get married.” The woman's gentle smile also always made Banyu calm and try to be sure.

But, one day he hears a conversation of some young men that Banyu himself does not know who they are.

At that time, Banyu visited a restaurant with a client who wanted to rent his restaurant for a party. He could hear everything they were saying, due to the close distance of his seat.

“Alah, girl like him mah I'm not demen. I'm just benefiting from her sincerity doang.”

“Wah, severe lo, Bro. Girl as beautiful as she is lo mainin.”

Hearing those two sentences made Banyu's heart again troubled. He recalled his past while still early in his marriage with his wife. His wife used to be played by his ex-girlfriend. And now Banyu is afraid, his daughter is also only used as a toy by his lover.

Until the night, Banyu asked his daughter to talk.

“Ca, Dad's appointment.”

“What promise the hell, Yah?” the girl chuckled. “I promise, will often ngunjungin Daddy.”

“Not that, Ca!”

“Terus?” Caca's forehead is wrinkled.

“Please promise to obey all of Dad's words if Dean wreaks havoc on your wedding.”

“Ih What's Dad talking about? Dean couldn't have been that. Marriage itself is disturbed. Weird.” The girl pouted. I don't like it when your girlfriend is accused like that.

“We don't know what the future is, Caca.”

“Yes but Dean couldn't be like that.”

“Promise aja, Ca!” Banyu looked seriously at his daughter.

“Iya, yes. I-i promise. But that does not mean I believe the same father's speech, yes.” The girl stood up to leave her father. He clenched his feet. His father's words seemed to distrust Dean, his lover.

The wedding day is getting closer. Everyone, including Caca, is preoccupied with wedding preparations. The invitation has been spread. The whole family has been preparing their gifts for a long time.

Family business colleagues also did not forget to attend this big event. The marriage of the firstborn of two families certainly cannot be missed.

“Your wedding is ready, Ca?” ask the orange to his daughter.

“Udah, Mom. Tomorrow transfer directly to hotel.” Caca fiddled with his phone. For a week he and his girlfriend had not met. Their families forbid it. He said it was a tradition. And now Dean's not returning any messages from Caca at all. The man's cell phone had been dead since this morning. The girl tried to think positively. Maybe her husband is busy.

The absence of a reply from Dean made Caca agitated. The beautiful girl with slightly wavy hair felt that there was something stuck in her heart. His mother said, maybe it was because he was too nervous for tomorrow's event. But, it doesn't feel like it. Caca felt that something wasn't going to happen well, no matter who.

***

The day we were waiting for finally arrived. Caca's been at the hotel since six in the morning. The girl was groomed for the chanting of a sacred promise that would be passed on with the reception.

The girl's smile has not faded since. He is currently sitting at the dresser. A MUA polishes her face to make it look more beautiful. Caca was already feeling a little relieved, because Dean had given it to him last night. Even so, it feels like Caca's heart is still not calm. Maybe it's true she said her mother, it's the effect of the nervousness that's stirring her up.

“Ciye to marry,” god Sofi–sahabat Caca.

“Ciyee who will be a hot mama,” another friend of Caca's, named Maya.

“Ih already dong don't tempt me, shy know.” Caca poked his lips. His eyes stared intently at his two best friends through the mirror.

“Eh, Ca. These college kids don't you invite?” ask Maya suddenly.

“No, Dean said he would make his own party. Today's event is special for relatives of close friends and family business colleagues,” replied Caca still looking at them both from the mirror reflection.

“Enak, yes so his wife sultan,” kelakar Sofi. Sofi and Maya's laughter echoed in the room.

The three of them laughed together. Joking while Caca is still not a wife. They are very sure Caca will be very difficult to find if married later. Maybe something like this would be rare for the three of them.

Without the three of them knowing, a heated debate ensued in the room beside Caca.

“How can your son be lost on his wedding day!” Banyu shouted as loud as possible in the room. His face was flushed with anger.

“What will I tell my daughter later Cel? What?” Banyu stared intently at his old friend, none other than Dean's mother.

“Excuse us, Banyu. We also did not know Dean would disappear like this,” Celin said with sobs. He himself was confused as to where Dean had gone. This morning his son said he was going to the hotel first. But when his whole family got there, Dean wasn't there.

“Sorry you can't return everything,” said Banyu coldly.

“We will try to find Dean, Mr. Banyu,” said Kean successfully made Banyu look at him sharply.

“Time to stay thirty minutes, want you to find where that jerk guy is.”

Kean closed his eyes. He is also not sure he will be able to find his son anytime soon.

“Agrhh”

“Nyu, patience!” Deva, Caca's father's best friend, tries to calm the hot conditions.

“Pak Kean's. Maybe you know where your son usually stops? Or maybe your son has an apartment he lives in on his own?” tanya Deva tried to mediate.

Dean's dad just shook his head. To be honest, he had no idea how his son was getting along. All he knew was that his son would come to the company four times a week to help him. The rest Kean doesn't know at all.

“Now what is the fate of my daughter Dev?” ask Banyu frustrated. Plus his wife has been crying in the room since, and is now being pacified by Deva's wife.

“I'm sorry my son, Nyu,” said Celin, Dean's mother.

“You remember this Cel. If he doesn't come to this day I will destroy him. Even though he's your son.”

“Nyu, relax!” said Deva back.

“You think I can calm down when my daughter's happiness is on the verge of collapse?” banyu shouted increasingly frustrated.

“We will try to find a solution of this problem, Mr. Banyu. We–“ Kean turned his head to the door that suddenly opened.

“Uncle, dad says Dean still hasn't been found. Oma same Opa was also worried below, let alone the guests starting to arrive. They told me to call uncle for tur–”

“Abi please uncle, please.”

Kean cut off his nephew's speech. He did not need the report of his younger brother's son. He just needs help.

The man called Abi raised his eyebrows. “Please? Ask for help what else uncle? Bang Riyo is just as her team is looking for Dean. They haven't even returned yet,” explained Abi.

“Bi, please uncle yes, you changed Dean to groom?”

“WHAT?” pekik Abi couldn't believe it.

Banyu and Jingga who had lowered their heads immediately. Their ears clearly heard what the two men were saying.

“Abimanyu?” muttering Orange and Banyu together.

“Uncle correct course,” protest Abi. How can the groom be replaced so easily. Moreover, he did not know who his bride was.

Wait for. Dean married his girlfriend, right? Which Abi remembers Dean's lover ....

Nope, no. Abi will never want to replace Dean especially if the girl is the bride-to-be.

“Bi, please. Uncle please. We have no other choice.” Kean put his hands together in front of his chest. His brain is dead. This is the only way this marriage will continue and both family names will not be humiliated.

“Can't do it uncle. I–”

“Nak Abi,” call Orange cut off Abhimanyu greeting.

“Doctor Orange?” abi lirih muttered.

Orang-orang stood up from his seat. He approached Abhimanyu and prostrated himself before the young man's feet. Making everyone there surprised, especially Abhimanyu.

“Abi, I beg you, you replace Dean's position. I'll do whatever you want. But I beg you, be my daughter's groom.”

“Doctor don't like this.” Abi shrugged his shoulders. Take him up.

“Abi, I beg.” Orang-orang bowed his head before Abhimanyu. Her tears had been flowing, ever since she heard that Dean wasn't at the hotel.

“A-Abi used to promise ‘kan with Doctor Orange?. He said he would give the gift as the doctor wanted. Now the doctor wants to charge that. You married the doctor's daughter, huh, Bi?”

Abhimanyu looked at the concerned orange. He did not know at all the candidate besan omnya was the doctor who had once saved his life. Back when Abi was still Junior High did promise to give a gift to this woman. And the Orange doctor said he would ask if they were reunited when Abhimanyu had grown up. And now Orange really charges that.

A feeling of doubt enveloped Abhimanyu's mind. He does not want to get married at this age. But if this request is from Orange he feels unable to do anything. He owes a debt of gratitude to this family.

“But doctor–”

“Abi, Doctor please. The doctor doesn't ask you to marry the doctor's daughter forever. But please, you marry the Doctor's daughter today. To maintain the reputation of the doctor's daughter as well as our family,” said Orange with a voice so soft.

“If you want to marry our daughter, we will give you whatever you ask. Even om will give one restaurant om for you.” Banyu stood before Abhimanyu. He took his wife and looked at Abhimanyu, begging.

Abhimanyu looked at everyone who was there. Everyone looked at Abhimanyu with pleading gazes. And his gaze stopped on the mother who was already standing next to her.

“Bi,” call the woman down.

Abhimanyu closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath, then replied, “Alright, I will replace Dean. But, I do not accept banyu om offer for restaurant problem.” Abhimanyu looked at the orange. “I did this for Doctor Ji.”

The orange hugged Abhimanyu. Say thank you so much.

Banyu was grateful for Abhimanyu. At least his daughter won't be able to hope for that irresponsible jerk again. And he got his dream daughter-in-law.
