(Not) Substitute Husband
Afternoon Road

Elvan had just come out of the workspace of Judah, after discussing several issues including Luke's work, which was masterminded by Damar. Yuda did not explain the details that Damar and himself had affairs in the past.

“Papa wait at the dinner table, take your wife also Star,” Yuda said.

“Hm.”

Elvan was going to the room to call Kania, but was stopped after hearing his wife's voice as well as the Star from the side veranda. There was loud ruckus and laughter from Kania that the woman never did when she was with him.

Does he hate me so much that he never smiles let alone laugh in front of me, the inner Elvan.

“Ehem.”

The star, Kania and Abil who were chattering turned their heads and stopped their laughter.

“What are you here for, we are waiting at the dinner table,” Elvan said as he looked at Kania.

Abil who knows himself if he only works, immediately resigned.

“I think Papa is still in discussion with Brother Elvan,” said the Star as it passed to the dining table.

Kania who was in Elvan's sight felt clumsy.

“Do you want to stand there?”

Kania would open her mouth to answer but Elvan had already grabbed her hand.

“Come, I'm hungry.”

Kania walked while looking at her hand which was in Elvan's grasp. Today, Elvan has twice joined his fingers. To be honest the woman felt as if she was protected by Elvan's attitude this time, but did not want to be too hopeful because whose heart knew.

...***...

The star was already lying on his bed, as the phone that had been placed on the nightstand trembled. There is an incoming message notification from the new number.

“This is who, I don't know this number yet,” murmured Star.

[I'll bill your promise, tomorrow. Cafe x]

“Who the hell?” he muttered again, then replied to the message.

[What promise? This who?]

Not long after a message

[I am your destiny, you should have bought me. Tomorrow I'm not busy, I wait]

“Ah, man was noon.”

While in a different place, Lukas smiled because his idea was quite effective.

“If he comes tomorrow, things will get easier. Just think about how to find Kania and Mr. Damar,” muttered Luke.

“What would happen if the woman knew he was the son of Mr. Damar. There will be another feud and I will be preoccupied,” luke lamented then lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling of his room.

If not his family owed Damar a debt of gratitude, he was reluctant to be subordinate to the man and always did things that sometimes lead to crime.

...***...

The star has just ended the last lecture for today. Remembering his promise to the man he met in the park.

“Come yes? But I promised,” murmured Star.

The girl had entered the car and the driver and his bodyguard had turned on the car engine but Bintang still did not give a word on where they were going.

“Nona, we go straight home or ..”

Sure enough, not long after the phone vibrated and it turned out that there was an incoming message.

[Don't break your promise, I'm waiting]

The car carrying the Bintang was parked in front of a cafe, the driver offered to come in but was prevented by the Bintang.

“Sorry Miss, it is my duty to supervise and look after Miss Bintang.”

“But I don't want to be seen being escorted by you,” complained Star.

“Just calm Miss, I will enter not together with Miss and occupy a table a bit far from where Miss is."

The star was already inside the cafe and staring around, finding the man who was waiting for him with the table in the corner of the room.

“I think you'll renege.”

“I'm not an ordinary person to close a promise, but I doubt that yesterday we happened to meet. Did you accidentally find me there?”

The man before the Star chuckled, hearing the girl's question. Because the fact is that the meeting was arranged deliberately.

“Do you think I don't have a job until I have to deliberately set the moment for us to happen to meet? I'm a busy man, Miss.”

“What's your name?” ask Stars.

“Lukas,” replied the man without hesitation.

Lukas smiled cynically at the sight of a man entering the cafe and occupying a table not far from where he was. Of course he knew that the man was in charge of watching the Stars.

The Star and Luke engage in conversation and the Star does not put any suspicion on the man in front of it. It even seems that the Star is comfortable with the man in front of her.

While in a different place, Kania is already on the veranda of the house and will come out when Elvan arrives.

“Where are you?”

“Hm ...” Kania hesitated to answer, if he wanted to enjoy the afternoon by taking a walk.

Elvan scrunched his forehead.

“I want to go to the park, before I have seen there are park facilities in this area,” Kania said.

Yuda Residence is in a luxury residential area and there is indeed a park that is a residential facility.

“I accompany,” Elvan said.

“Eh, no need. You just came home, definitely ..”

“I'm with you or you can't go out.”

Kania and Elvan were already in the park area which that afternoon looked quite crowded. Many children run around and play in the existing facilities of the game, the mothers with toddlers are also some people who are seen exercising in the afternoon.

Although it felt strange because they were followed by two bodyguards who walked a bit far behind, but Kania enjoyed the atmosphere of the garden that afternoon. Suddenly a mother's screams.

“Jambret, please .. my wallet.”

The villain that mother meant ran past Kania and Elvan.

“Kania, move aside,” said Elvan because the criminal was carrying a sharp weapon. Elvan turned his head and was surprised that Kania was chasing after the man who had already done the mugging.

“You go after my wife,” Elvan's word which then follow Kania.
