A Substitute
Superfluity

For several days now, Davin's men were searching for the Light. However, the girl was never found. Makes him so confused because in fact his parents were angry at the departure of Light.

"Why did he leave? Did you guys fight?" the Sevina's tirade is non-stop.

"That's not it, Ma, I didn't know she was leaving. I didn't fight with him." Davin tried to explain this misunderstanding to his mother.

"Well, Davin, do you really love him or not?" It was David's turn to speak.

"I don't know, Pa."

"If you don't know means you don't understand your feelings. Now tell Papa, when he's what do you feel?"

"I'm troubled, I feel noisy, I'm always made dizzy."

"Then, what do you feel when he's gone."

Davin lowered his head, then raised slowly.

"I feel empty. Not hearing the noise, getting bored, and not knowing what to do to calm down."

"Mama looked at your book and there it was written the name Safira forever. Is that Safira Rayden's wife?" ask Sevina.

Davin is shocked that Sevina knows his secret. It turned out that the book was left in his parents' house until they saw it.

"Yes, Ma, right."

"You like people's wives?" david asked in disbelief.

"Not that, Pa. I liked her before she married Rayden. And at the party that night..."

The flashback

Party when Light humiliated.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Safira wonder.

"I want to tell you that I love you."

Safira is shocked to hear Davin's love statement. He retreated his steps to get away from Davin.

"Calm down, I'm not here to force you to accept it. I still know myself. I just want to free myself from the burden that has long bound my heart. At least now I'm relieved even though I know you won't take it."

"I'm sorry, Mom, I can't take you." Safira looked down sad. His marriage with Rayden did not go well because the husband who still loves his late girlfriend. He was always in the shadow of the girl to the point of tormenting her.

"Yes, I know. That's why I'm gonna end this. I'll learn to forget this feeling and try to live my life."

"Yes, Mum, Light is a good woman. Love her. I can see that he has a sincere heart."

"Now we stop talking about love, yes. What about your college?"

"Currently, Mas. Mas Rayden gave me facilities. I'm lucky to marry him."

"I know that Rayden is still attached to his past love. I know his girlfriend's late house. Compared to him, you're much better, Sapphira. You can definitely win Rayden's heart. Although he was a little annoying, but he was still the man in charge. Believe me, one day, Rayden will love you."

"Thank you, Mom, I also hope that one day you can open your heart to the Light. I can see a sincere love when she looks at you."

Flashback off

"Oh, so you've decided to stop loving Safira? That's better, Davin. Mama was a little late from Alea. But never mind, don't regret it. And it seems you're used to the Light, too."

"Proof that you were empty and bored when she wasn't around, which means you love her, Davin."

Davin was silent. Trying to digest all of this. But does he really love the light? Since when? Why doesn't he know?
