A Substitute

A Substitute
That sly woman


The next day, Light is bought a new phone by Doni and Ririn. Both look great in the light. Even more so with the arrival of a housekeeper who will take care of the house. While the Light is only told to sit sweet to stay beautiful, said Ririn.


The light is shaking his new cell phone. He was still confused how to use the advanced phone. All he knew was the house phone would make a sound if he lifted the handle.


"Non, why?" tanya Ratih who is the new domestic assistant in the house. He is almost forty years old.


"How do I play this?" tanya Light with a confused facial expression.


"Non what do you want with this phone? Call up? Sending messages? Or social media?"


"What kind of social media, Ma'am?" ask for the light again.


"Social media is a medium to socialize with each other and done online that allows humans to interact without being limited to space and time and most importantly from a far distance even though different countries." Radih explained.


"What and how to use it, Ma'am?" tanya Light is getting more enthusiastic.


Patiently, Ratih explained to Light about anything that includes social media.


After explaining at length and downloading some important applications, Ratih returned to the kitchen to cook.


The light that was curious about the green chat application, immediately typed a message to someone last night to help him, namely Davin. Previously, Ratih had taught himself how to store someone's number in that app.


Light: Good afternoon, Mas Davin. This is my new number, Light :)


The message has been sent with an ash-coloured two-tick checkmark. Ratih said, if the mark is only one, it has not been sent. If two, sent but not read. And if the two with the color turn blue, the meaning is already read.


The Light waited until it finally got a message. He had thought it was a reply from Davin, it turned out that it was a message that entered through ordinary messages, not through the application.


The message contains: ***,Bpk/Mother


WANT TO APPLY FOR A LOAN

Fast Process.


"Sir, did someone send me a debt offer, did I reply or not?" shouts of light from the living room.


"Don't, Non! Leave it!" ratih's scream sounded a bit loud.


The light understood. He opened the message again in the green application. The check mark is blue. That is, the message has been read.


However, after a long wait, there was no reply from Davin. The light sent him a message over and over again. He thought Davin was not reading it clearly, so he turned all the letters into capital letters.


Light: GOOD DAY, MAS DAVIN. THIS IS MY NEW NUMBER, LIGHT :)


The message has been sent and it's blue ticked. But Davin did not reply.


Light: Mas Davin, why not reply. Am I bothering you?


Tall


A reply message came in.


Davin: Oh


Light: Oh what, Mas?


Davin: Oh, already have a new number. I-i understand.


Light: What is Davin doing?


Davin: Work


Light: Mas, thanks for the phone.


Davin: It wasn't me who bought it.


Light: But you gave me the money.


Davin : Y


Light : Y what, Mas?


Davin: Yes


Light: Yes to what?


Davin: You said thank you. So I reply Yes.


Light : Don't forget breakfast, Mas.


Davin: It's noon.


Light: Don't forget lunch :)


Davin : Y


Light : Hmm:(


There was no reply from Davin. The light just dazed. 


"Why, Non?" ask Ratih who approaches the Light.


"Mas Davin seems to hate me."


"No, Non. Maybe Mas Davin was busy, or indeed his silent war."


"Maybe, Ma'am."


"Miss should do something else. Just watch a movie."


"Watching movies? Can it?" 


"of course. What kind of movie does she like?"


"I love watching Indian movies. Can you find it? That handsome cast of Shahrukh Khan, Ma'am."


"Can, Non." Train directly search for the film from an application.


After meeting, the light began to watch. He went to the kitchen and continued his work.


After thirty minutes, Light suddenly ran towards Ratih.


"Bak, look, Mas Davin called. How'this? I was watching? Later his voice and voice in the film mixed into one."


He also explained that receiving calls while watching can be done.


The light picked up the phone from Davin.


"HELLO MAS!"


Train was surprised as the Light let out such a loud sound while picking up the phone.


"Non, don't be so loud. Poor Mas Davin, deaf later."


"But we're far away, ma'am."


"No problem, Nope. Speak slowly."


Light nodded.


"Hello, Mum. Sorry my voice was too loud."


"It's okay. Oh yeah, I'll pick you up tomorrow."


"Where are we going, Mas?"


"Home, meet my parents."

Yesterday night.


After Davin delivered the Light home, he returned to his home.


Arriving at home, he was immediately asked questions from his parents.


"Davin, where have you been? Why just got home?" ask Sevina.


"There's a business for a minute, Ma." Davin sat himself on the sofa.


"It's almost midnight. What business made you forget your break?"


"Ma, I'm an adult."


"Adult said? But you're not married yet. You always resisted the matchmaking we did. Why don't you just like Alezha and Rayden? They always follow the will of their parents. Don't you see how happy Alezha is right now with her matchmaking husband?"


"Ma, be patient. Don't get carried away by emotions." David, papa Davin is trying to calm his wife.


"How can you be patient, Pa. When Arisan, surely everyone always asks when Mama has a daughter-in-law. Mom's shy, Pa. Some even thought Davin was a same-sex person." Sevina looked at him in annoyance.


"Astaghfirullah, don't be, Ma. It can't be Davin like that. You have to trust your own son." David reminded.


"Because of that, Davin's coming with us tomorrow, Pa. He must be introduced to his son Sasa, my arisan friend." Sevina insisted.


"Ma, Pa, about tomorrow,,,,,"


"What's? You want to refuse again? You want Mama to get angry again and tear apart the household like that time? Forget that! Agree or not, you have to come!"


"Ma, listen to me first."


"There's no explanation anymore. My mom's decision is complete! You have to come!" Sevina was about to walk to her room. But one sentence that came out of Davin's mouth immediately stopped his steps.


"I've got, girlfriend, Ma."


Sevina turned around, David could only gawk.


"Whatdidyou say? A boyfriend? Since when?"


"Since tonight. Actually, the reason I left was to meet a woman I liked. I've already expressed my heart, and he's accepted."


Davin's explanation instantly made the smile on Sevina's lips expand. He did not expect to get such a confession from his son.


"really? Who her? And from which family?" Sevina held Davin's hand in happiness.


"His name is Light, he's not from a rich family. Just an orphan living with Om and his Tantenya."


Sevina releases Davin's hand. It was a clear disappointment in him. But he soon realized that currently the treasure is not important. Most importantly Davin has a lover. What's more, Davin's grandmother Viana also comes from an ordinary family. He should not be thinking about caste at this time.


Sevina again held Davin's hand. "Yes, honey, Mama understands. It doesn't matter which family she comes from, as long as she's a good woman."


"Ma, I told his family, we're gonna propose to him next week."


Davin's words again made Sevina's smile widen and David's mouth was increasingly gawking.


"Yes, we have to buy the best delivery for him. If necessary, we'll have your engagement party. Mama's gonna invite all of your mama's friends who make fun of you so they know my son is normal."


"Yes, Ma, it's up to Mama."


"Oh yeah, Mama wants to meet him, can you? Let's invite him to lunch tomorrow." Sevina's getting more enthusiastic.


"Yes, Ma, but not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. But promise to be nice to her and understand if there's anything you don't like in your heart." Davin looked seriously. 'Because she is so innocent.' her inner.


Sevina nodded in understanding. She hugged Davin and thanked him.


*****


The next day, Davin who was at work got a message from Light.


[Good day, Mrs Davin. This is my new number, Light :)]


Davin looked over, then smiled. He completed several signatures in several files. When he finished, he saw the message from the Light.


He wanted to retaliate but the secretary came into his room and gave him some more papers to sign.


The message came back in and it was from the light.


"GOOD DAY, DAVIN, THIS IS MY NEW NUMBER, LIGHT."


Davin just shook his head at the message. He also began to reply to messages from the Light with his style of iron sentences.


Until the arrival of his father made him have to end the chat message.


After the conversation with his papa was over Davin grabbed his phone. He also called the light.


However, when the phone was picked up, what sounded was a scream that almost made Davin's ears deaf.


And after that he told the Light about his intention to bring the Light to his house tomorrow.
