A Substitute
Enjoy your suffering

A few days later, just a day before the marriage contract was carried out, Light came to the residence of Bram and his wife. He is forced to deliver food by his Tantenya to attract the sympathy of Bram. Actually he did not want to, but because of his tantric compulsion, he went there.

The taxi he was riding in had arrived at a fairly large house, which he would later occupy with Bram and his first wife.

The light took a breath, then took it out slowly. He was still not ready to meet them after that time.

Indeed, his aunt has called Bram and told him that the marriage continues, but, he can not be sure whether Bram will be as rough as yesterday or not.

The Light Steps stopped right in front of the door of Bram's house after the security guard opened the gate for him.

He wanted to knock, but there was the crisp laughter of two people on the side of the house. The light stepped to the side of the house with a small garden there. It turned out to be true, Bram and Lia were there joking around with their mesra on the iron swing.

The Light Heart was very sick to see it. Although Bram has been evil to her, but he cannot deny that he still puts his taste in Bram.

He was about to approach them, but his steps stopped as Bram chirped.

"What do you think? I'm very smart, right? I won a bet with my friends to get that stupid girl's love. You see that fancy car they gave me as my prize win." Bram smiled happily.

"You're very smart, honey. Then why do you still want to marry him? Do you love her?" ask Lia full of probes.

"No, Honey. I might love that stupid girl. Look, you think, what if we don't have to pay for a housekeeper." Bram smiled meaningfully.

"What do you mean? Who wants to work without pay? Only a fool who,,,," Lia stopped her words when she realized something. He smiled at Bram. "You mean, the Light will be our maid for free?"

"True, we don't have to bother paying him. And when we have a kid later, let him take care of it, we just need to have fun."

"I hear you're gonna inject a pretty big fortune into that family?"

"Yes, but with a record of a portion of the restaurant's stock being in my name. I'm smart, aren't I?"

"Well! Do they agree?"

"They agreed because their restaurant was on the verge of bankruptcy. And I'm the only one who wants to inject funds into them. So, my property won't be given to them for free."

"Well, you're very smart." Lia pinched Bram's cheek with anxiety.

The light sat down after hearing all of Bram's plans. Unexpectedly, his true love would be avenged such a painful betrayal. He will even be made a free maid in this mansion. No, the light will not be able to.

He soon returns home to report the news to Om and his aunt.

However, when he arrived at home, he saw om and his aunt were fighting and wronging each other. They broke the items inside the living room that were already like a broken ship.

"Damn!!! Why can this be! You are a stupid wife! How can you use money without my permission? You were fooled by the bodong investment! Though the money will be used to pay the employees and also for our living expenses!" Doni snapped at Ririn with a very sharp look in his eyes.

"I didn't know they were cheating. I just want to double our money. You also argued for mortgaging this house without my knowledge for business capital, even though to play women!"

"I've apologized to you and I'm wrong too! I was tricked by him too! Don't cover up your mistakes by cornering me. Do you think I didn't know that you were playing with fire in droves, too?" Doni looked at Ririn with a look of wanting to kill.

Ririn was shocked because her actions were known to her husband.

"I, I did it because you cheated first!" Trying to defend himself.

"Already! Now is not the time to think about it. Now think about how to save our restaurant! Bram has asked for a 50 percent stake if he wants to inject funds. Of course it will reduce our income" Doni sat on the sofa holding his head, as well as Ririn.

"But how else? We have no choice! Do you have any ideas?"

Doni raised his head after getting a brilliant idea. "Forget Bram. I forgot to tell you if there's an old man who wants to marry Light and give us a billion dollars. That's a lot more than the asshat's offer."

"But the wedding's tomorrow."

"It was just a series wedding and there was no reception. We can cancel it. I'll call the old man." Doni called the old man. He smiled happily when he heard the old man's reply.

He looked at Ririn with a smile. "He wants! Light will be his fourth wife."

"I will send my representative to his house and inform him of this cancellation. The wedding will be held tomorrow. We just have to wait for the light to come home. No need to be told, he just needs to obey."

Ririn smiled with relief. Their problems were finally solved.

The light that had been eavesdropping from the outside could only cry resignedly. He fell down beside the porch of the house.

The day that was getting late in the afternoon made his heart raging. He decided to leave the house without their knowledge. Not to run away, but to end his life that had no hope anymore.

***

It was dark, but there were still many bridges. The light waited until the bridge was empty. He chose a crowded place to commit suicide. Because if in a quiet place or river, he was afraid that his body would be long found or even rot with terrible conditions. If he hangs himself, he says the pain will be excruciating. He just wants to die with one jump. If you crash into a car, not necessarily immediately killed, he thought. He waited under the bridge, on the sidewalk, crying.

While at home, om and tantenya confused because the Light has not come home. If until tomorrow Light does not get married, then they will be on the streets. They've called everyone that Light might meet, but no one knows where he is. Now, they regret why they did not give the Light of the phone to just function to call and send messages.

The night was getting late, after it was felt to be quiet, the Light also walked up the pedestrian bridge with swollen eyes and puffy, he walked with shuntai steps. His face occasionally faced the sky. There was a sense of doubt in him, but that sense instantly vanished when he remembered his fate tomorrow if he were to stay alive.

He stepped into the middle of the bridge. Look to the right and left sides to make sure no one is going to see it.

He also opened the old sandal he was wearing. His eyes had started to blur from crying all day.

He also climbed the bridge fence one by one until part of his body has passed the end of the fence made of iron.

"Oh my God, forgive me, I can no longer live in this world. Since childhood I have been an orphan, never get affection from om and my tant, made like a maid, and tomorrow I have to marry an old man with three wives to satisfy the greed of om and my tant. I had to end my life so I wouldn't suffer anymore."

The light climbed the iron fence until finally he was outside the fence still holding on. When looking down, he was very afraid of the height of the bridge that only that person could cross.

"It's so high, did I just move?" murmuring Light while staring in horror at the streets with a few cars that passed by even though it was late at night.

"No! If I moved, it wouldn't be a quiet place like this. All right, I'm gonna jump. Goodbye world, come to them that I'm hurt." The light closed his eyes while releasing his grip on the iron fence.

Suddenly, someone held her body. The light was shocked because there were still people there. He turned his head and saw a strong-bodied man holding his body by holding his hand so as not to fall.

"Let go, sir, I want to die!" The rebellious light asks to be released.

"Don't, Miss, your life is long. There's still a way to solve your problem." The man tried to persuade the Light.

"You don't understand. My problem is so heavy!"

"Miss, if you kill yourself, it won't solve the problem. Do you know if people who commit suicide will stay in hell? You want to stay there?" The man tried to warn the Light.

"But I've suffered enough to live in the world!"

"In the afterlife you will suffer forever. It is even hundreds of times more painful than your suffering in the world. Miss, God hates a man who wasted his life!"

Silent light. True also said the man, if he died, then his suffering in the hereafter is much more torturous and also eternal.

He turned around to stop his intention. "Master, I'm akkkkhhhhh!!!" The Light Leg slipped from the edge and now he was hanging with one hand that was still held by the man.

"Miss! Hold hands!" The man shouted back.

"Help me! I don't want to die now!" The light was now crying loudly regretting his stupidity earlier. Just hanging like this already made his heart almost fall. His lips to the point of shaking were afraid of facing death if the handrails of the man were released.

The man with all his might pulled the hand of Light until finally the Light was saved.

Due to reflexes, Light immediately hugged the man and cried. He was scared to death.

The man calmed the Light while patting his back. "That's it, now you're okay."

The light took off his embrace. He saw clearly, that the man was dressed neatly as an important person, had a high posture, and had a very handsome face.

After making sure that the man was not a kidnapper, Light hugged him tightly again while thanking him.
