A Substitute
Failed my plan

A month ago Light was working in that shop. For some reason, since his arrival, a lot of new buyers who buy bread in the store even in large quantities.

He just finished serving a customer. Seeing that no more customers had arrived, he chose to clean the cashier area.

"Light," said Reno who had been standing beside the Light ever since. It was fortunate that the woman did not reflexively hit Reno in the face.

"Yes, sir, what's wrong?" the Light was half surprised

"Will you have a show tonight?" asked Reno half-nervous."

"Event, huh? I don't think there is," said the Light.

"It just so happens that my mother is cooking a lot, do you want to come over for dinner at our house? I have something to say."

The light looks light-weighted. Though the plan tonight he wants to watch dangdutan show on television. But, it doesn't feel good to refuse Reno's invitation. He and his mother were very good to him.

"Yes, sir, I'll come."

Suddenly Reno's smile expands. "Eight o'clock at night, yeah."

"Yes, sir."

With a feeling of excitement, Reno went back to his room. While not far from them looks Silvi is smiling softly. It's nice to see Reno happy, but sad because the source of Reno's happiness is in another girl.

The light returned to work when a crowd of people came in and bought bread at the store. He was quite surprised because the crowd immediately chose bread without seeing the taste or price. It seems like they are really rich people, so thought Light.

Sevina sipped the tea served by Ririn, Light's aunt. Right now, she and her husband are at the newly renovated Light uncle and aunt house of the Light dowry.

"Your house is good, how much does the renovation cost?" asked Sevina while looking at all corners of the room.

"Lumayan a lot, Madam," said Doni nervously. Are they going to have a problem with the Light's dowry because the nephew has run away?

"Oh, where are the rest?" Sevina again sipped the tea that she thought was so good.

Ririn and Doni looked at each other for a moment. They are confused what else to say. Should they say the rest of the money is to renovate the restaurant, pay the debt, and buy a new car? Not to mention other assets such as plantation land and other businesses.

"Darling, why ask that?" David reminded Sevina not to ask too far about the person of others. Moreover, their purpose here was not to inquire about the treasure that Davin had given.

"Oh, sorry, you're right, honey. Look, I want to ask. Do you know the birthplace of the Light parents?"

"I only know the birthplace of his mother because he is my sister, Madam. But if her husband, I do not know because they met in the birthplace of the mother of Light. Its origin we didn't even know until now." Doni explained. Indeed, Light is the son of his little sister.

"Can you explain why they died?"

"They're being chased by debt, sir. They were found dead and likely killed by the debt collector. But technology was not as advanced now. So, the case was closed because the culprit wasn't found."

"Sir, before he died, the mother of Light once told us that when the Light was ten years old and she was dead, then we had to give an important letter that we should not read. It seems the contents of the letter were about the hometown of his father. After he finished reading it, he immediately set it on fire because it seemed like it was also a message from the mother so that no one would know about the contents of the letter."

"Why did her mother seem to be able to predict her own death?" David felt something strange.

"I think it's because they feel threatened by debt collectors that they write the will."

David started thinking about something. He immediately took his wife home to meet Davin. However, they did not meet Davin. The waiter said, Davin left a few hours ago when they went to visit the house of om and aunty Cahaya.

"Where's the kid? Does he know anything?" ask Sevina wonder.

"It looks like he's moving faster than us. And it's possible he's found the Light's address by now."

"Why are you so sure?"

"He's my son. He's always moving fast just like me."

"What's the point of going there? Wasn't he the one who asked us to come there?"

"It looks like he wants to find information about the Light parents even more while on his way there."

"Huh? Meanin?"

David reached into his pocket and found an eavesdropper there. Apparently Davin did want to hear everything directly from his wife's uncle and aunt.

"Good god, that kid. Could use his parents."

"That's it, the important thing is that your son-in-law comes back." David took Sevina home. He understood about the heartbreak of Sevina who missed her daughter-in-law so much.

Davin is on his way to the village where Light lives. He was grateful for receiving a photo from an unknown number. While he was working earlier, suddenly there was a message containing photos of Light who was working in the bakery. Below him was a message about the location of the bakery.

Davin went straight home. He called his parents and asked to go to the house of Cahaya's uncle and aunt to get information about Cahaya. Because the number that had just contacted him could not be traced. It is certain, the person who sent the message was not an arbitrary person. There must be something about the past of the Light or his long-dead parents.
