A Substitute
The woman he missed

"Huuu, huuu." The light cried all the way. There are a lot of tissues used to wipe her tears. Davin was just focusing on driving. He intentionally did not speak because the Light never stopped crying.

"What is my fault, O God, I pray five times, I also teach after isha'. I am always happy, and I always do good. I even helped ants fight for food. I did accidentally drop Mas Davin's toothbrush on the toilet, but I washed it and put it back in place."

"What?" Davin looks shocked with the honesty of Light. He also recalled smelling a strange smell on his toothbrush.

"Ca-Light, what did you wash my toothbrush with?"

"With liquid soap near the toilet, Mas."

"Astaghfirullah, Light." Davin can't express himself anymore. The soap was obviously to clean the toilet.

"Sorry, Mas, huuu." The light came back crying.

"It's okay, honey. Never mind, I don't mind it. I'm gonna change his toothbrush. Oh yeah, can I tell you where you found out about the tragedy that befell your parents?"

"That's, because while still living in my uncle and aunt's house, I found a letter that my mother had written to them."

Mrs Ririn, Mas Doni, please take care of Mentari. Don't ever tell him that me and Mas Anggara are in danger. The expulsion of our father-in-law caused us to accept the terror of his enemies. He doesn't care about us one bit. I know it's because he didn't approve of my marriage to Mas Anggara. Ma'am, please add the name Light in front of the name Mentari. So that those people do not threaten the safety of Mentari.

"Once the letter is written, Mas. That's why I was so angry when I found out that this grandfather was my grandfather." The light ended his cries after telling everything. Crying all the way was exhausting for him.

"But won't you forgive him? After all, he is the only person you have in this world. And I intend to hold a remarriage agreement with you because your guardian is still there."

"But I don't want to take it, Mom."

The light just stood still and lowered. He could no longer argue with Davin. In fact, by the time they got home, he had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Cahaya was seen crying sobbing while looking at the photo of her son and daughter-in-law.

There was a deep regret in his eyes. He recalled the times when he had the heart to throw away the child who chose to marry the woman of his heart and he was forced to cancel the match with his business partner. Several times the son called him and told him that his father's enemies were after them. However, he still doesn't care.

Until the time the child was killed with his wife, he hated the son-in-law even more. He knew they had children. However, his hatred for the son-in-law made him not care about the grandson.

When he was sickly and had no heir, he finally sought the grandson who is known to be the daughter-in-law of the Pramudya family. He contacted Davin and asked him to bring the Light to his home.
