Will Not Be Substituted

Chapter 32

Tonight, Abhimanyu and Caca return to stay at Banyu's house. Caca's longing for her family is still not over. He still wants to be with his siblings and his parents.

Since getting married a month ago, Caca has not stayed at home. It's just that sometimes his father or mother meets him at the cafe when Banyu checks his work. Sometimes also Ata and Bia deliberately look for him there. Disrupt him to work or take him for a walk which is certainly rejected by Caca.

Tonight Caca sits in the gazebo of her home garden. He swung his legs enjoying the fresh night air. While looking at the dark sky, Caca hummed softly to ward off the desolation that occupied him.

The clock has shown at ten o'clock at night, Caca's two sisters must have been in his room as well as his parents. So Caca chose to be there himself looking for calm after arguing with Aldi this afternoon.

Several times Caca sighed and threw it away slowly, as if he was treating her lungs that felt tight every time she remembered that she was no longer a single girl. Moreover, he married someone he did not love at all.

Sometimes the question of where Dean is and why he disappeared is still going through Caca's head. The memories of when they were together used to go back around. Reminds me of how Dean used to be who always made him smile. Never once did the young man scratch a wound at her. Caca gave his whole heart to Dean. Trusting himself to have Dean. However, who would have thought that Dean's wedding day actually disappeared like swallowed by the earth and made Caca have to marry another man.

The night air increasingly hit Caca's body which was only wrapped in a thin T-shirt and knee-length pants. Delivering coldness to the long haired girl. Caca had to rub his own arm for warmth.

Caca squinted as he suddenly felt a thick jacket wrapped around his body. Instantly she turned her husband's head and face plastered with a gentle smile on her lips.

“Kok, still here?. It's late this way. Cold again,” asked Abhimanyu. The young man looked at the side of Caca's face that looked so beautiful. However, a second later he looked away as Caca turned back to him.

“Where are you from anyway? Kok, just got home.” Instead of answering Caca asked back.

Abhimanyu looked back at Caca who was now also looking at him. The sight they met made the hearts of the two beat faster than usual.

“So called father tell me to go home with business,” replied Abhimanyu. He immediately broke eye contact between himself and Caca or his heartbeat would be even more crazy.

Abhimanyu chuckles. He said that his father had kicked him out and told him to meet Caca there. But the day is very late.

Caca smiled at the husband's story. He was grateful, although he and his parents did not know each other before, they were friendly to him. Caca feels like he has new parents there and not just in-laws.

“Come, login! Cold!” Abhimanyu stood up and walked ahead of Caca.

“Say our father can stay here longer if you want.” Abhimanyu said as Caca finished applying night cream on his face.

The girl nodded, looking at Abhimanyu through the reflection of her makeup mirror. “You didn't papa here much longer?”

Abhimanyu spread his shoulders. “Not a problem.” His head shook small as he spoke.

Caca smiled. He wanted to be in this house longer. At least one more day was enough for him. “Still,” says Caca.

As she stood up and circulated her gaze, Caca remembered the sofa that had not been returned to her room by her father. The girl hesitated to step up. His head began to think, do they have to go back to sleep one more bed tonight?. The answer is actually yes. Where else do they sleep but there?.

There's no other choice. Caca rearranged his roll in the middle as a boundary between them like last night. Because as Caca remembers the way it works. No one crossed the line until they woke up.

However, Caca did not know, if in fact he was the one who crossed the line that he had made himself. Caca hugged Abhimanyu's body tightly last night. It's just that Abhimanyu did not say anything and preferred to let Caca not feel that he had crossed his line.
