A Substitute
Not allowed

Today also arrived. Davin and Light are finally engaged. Many of Sevina's friends were present to see what Davin's future wife would often be considered a same-sex lover.

However, due to seeing the extremely beautiful Light, they could only fall silent. Seen facial expressions that feel guilty for once calling Davin a same-sex lover.

"Mas, I'm pretty, right?" ask the Light while whispering.

"Yes, you are so beautiful" Davin said without looking.

"But you didn't see me." The light pursed his lips.

"I glanced at you. And you're very pretty, satisfied?" Still without looking.

"What do you look for when you can see it?"

"My neck is just tired." Davin began to get uncomfortable with the Light that could not stand still.

"There's a tired neck. You don't even look to the right and to the left."

Davin took a long napa. He turned to the light, then smiled softly. "Light, you're so pretty."

The light was very pleased to hear it. He could only smile in shame.

The event immediately began with a greeting from the MC, then the family, until the process of exchanging rings between Davin and Light. All applauded after both of them wore engagement rings.

Light and Davin sat in a place that had been prepared for a photo session with the family. Davin looks just flat-faced. He really looks like a person who doesn't want this engagement.

After the photo session, they sat together, while the guests enjoyed the dishes there.

"Mas, why are you so moody? What the hell are you thinking? You're so depressed." The light looks worried for Davin.

"Nothing."

"I know, you must be very depressed about this engagement. I'm sorry if I can only be your burden. If I could, where would I go?"

Suddenly Davin left when the Light had not finished speaking.

"I went to the toilet for a while, my stomach has been hurting ever since."

"Jeez, Mas Davin, I thought you were sad." The light laughed a little at Davin's behavior that turned out to have wanted to throw away.

"Light, where's Davin?" ask a woman who is a friend of Sevina. He wanted to congratulate me for coming home soon.

"Mas Davin is in a CHAPTER, Mom, why?"

"Oh I just want to congratulate you because I want to go home."

"Oh, I'll tell you later, ma'am," said the Light.

"Oh yeah, I've never seen you, have you guys been betrothed?"

"No, Mom, me and Mas Davin are officially dating" said Light.

"What was your last education?"

"SMA, Mum?"

"What family are you from? I mean, what do your parents do?"

"My parents are dead, Om and Aunt have a restaurant."

"Oh orphan, and just a restaurant."

"And a mansion, acres of rice fields and land, farms, and much more."

"That's your treasure? That's a lot."

"No, that's as good as Mas Davin."

"Oh just as bright. It means still the people below ya."

"Why, Mom?"

"I wonder why Davin would want to go with a poor orphan like you. My son is much more beautiful and educated. We have a lot of treasure too." The mother lowered the Light even more.

"There's plenty of wealth, pretty kids, higher education, but dear, Mas Davin's not interested." Light smiled thinly.

"Shut your mouth. You don't deserve to be with Davin. Davin should have married my son, not a poor woman like you."

"But baby, mother's opinion is useless here. I'll be Mas Davin's wife. And the mother's son will remain single. This woman who is Hina's mother is the future wife of a rich businessman."

Feeling defeated, the mother went with a face as red as a tomato. He had intended to provoke and make the Light ashamed, but even he who felt humiliated now.

Davin had already returned from the bathroom with a smile of relief on his face.

"Why smile for yourself?" davin asked the Light who was smiling to himself.

"Nothing, Mom, did you wash your hands with soap?"

"Of course it is." Davin was astonished by the Light question.

The light only smiled slightly, then stepped slightly away from Davin with a smile.

****

Davin is feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. Because, he and Light were riding a motorcycle to the mall. Not without reason. When picking up the Light, Davin's car was run over by the boys in the Light home environment. Berets and scribbles adorned the destruction of his car.

Davin who is patient can only stroke the chest. When he changed the car, suddenly Light offered him a piggyback ride on a motorcycle because the one in the house was just a motorcycle bought om and his aunt for Light if you want to go out the streets to finish in front of the alley her house.

"Mas, why shut up? Do you like riding this bike?!" tanya Light with a little scream because her voice flying carried by the wind.

"Not that's it. I'm just embarrassed."

"So why? Shame about riding a motorcycle? This bike is great, Mom."

"No! I'm ashamed because you're the one who's piggybacking. While I'm like a child who just picked up his mother back home from school" grumbled Davin.

"Hahaha, sorry, Mas, how else, you can't ride a bike. I promise you, after the mall, I'll teach you how to ride the bike."

"Yes, okay, but why do you have to speed like this?"

"Huh? Speeding?" The light noticed his current speed. "No, it's still below normal."

"But to me this is too tight."

The light breathed slowly. "Well, I've reduced the speed."

"Well, this is true." Davin held up his thumb. He enjoyed a journey that for the Light was long and slow.

However, just a few minutes he was riding at low speed, came a group of young people who rivaled them by using a large motorcycle.

The person closest to them said, "Gini day, snail-kayaking motorbike? Go home there! Get on odong-odong there, hahaha!"

His laughter seemed to spread to his friends who were now laughing and leaving Light and Davin.

"Mas, handle!" exclaim Light.

"Handles? What's for?" Davin looks confused.

Without answering, the Light immediately increased his speed. Davin's reflex, holding the shoulder of the Light directly for fear of falling. "Light, Istighfar, we'll fall!" Davin reminded.

"No, Mas, those brats should be taught a lesson!" The light increased his speed.

The two motorcycles that the four young people were riding were shocked because Light could catch up with them.

"Mom! Very reckless! His girlfriend will fall." Someone shouted while laughing mockingly.

'uh? Wasn't he Pak Adi's son, Papa's driver, Davin' inner when he saw the child who had insulted him. The boy did not know Davin because Davin was wearing a helmet.

"Hala, don't bacot much! Come here race if you dare. Sono noh's sampe!" The light pointed at a minimarket in front of which there were not many parking lots.

"Come on!" that teenager.

"Light, come on, don't be served." Davin reminded.

"Don't be afraid, Mom, we're gonna win!" The light also adds speed to quickly reach the red light first.

Sure enough, now his position was in front of those naughty teenagers.

Davin who was getting scared finally ventured to embrace the Light body and stick on his back.

The light became nervous so he reduced his speed in order not to fall. As a result, he also lost the race because of Davin.

Arriving in front of the minimarket, the four teenagers stopped and got off their bikes. The light also stopped because it was blocked by them.

"Who's that snobs? You have lost, Mother! As punishment, you gotta kiss my feet!" that teenager.

"What's? You bad boys! I lost because,,,,"

"Because what? Lo's cool boyfriend? Mas, dude or sissy, anyway!"

Davin, who did not want to serve the juvenile delinquency, immediately opened his helmet. When it was opened, the teenager who had acted as a pretender immediately trembled and was shocked.

"Tu, sir, Mr. Davin," he said, trembling.

"Lo why Gus? She who?" ask a teenage friend who turns out to be named Agus.

"Tu,,, Master, I,,,,"

"Now go home, and introspect yourself. Don't ever do this again on the streets, danger."

"I,, yes, sir, I'm sorry. Ma'am, I'm sorry."

"Yes, I want to. Sono Lo's home! Just make emotions Lo!"

"I,, yes, Ma'am, I apologize once again." Agus went back to his motorcycle, invited his friends to turn around. Thankful today she only met Davin. If he meets Sevina or David, then it's over.

"Mas, who is he? Why so see you he's a whip?" tanya Light.

"He's the son of a papa driver" Davin said.

"You're very kind, Mas, if you meet another employer, it will definitely not be left alone."

"I just don't want to bother."

The light is just the mangosteen.

"Light, can I ask for help? If driving, use normal speed."

"Yes, Mas, fine, sorry." The light breathed.

"Yes, let's continue the journey."

The light nodded, then rode the motor followed by Davin.

"Emmm, Mas, if I'm a screwdriver, don't hold your shoulder again, yes," said Light before advancing his motorbike.

"Why? So what am I holding?"

"I'm a little nervous, Mom. Just hold on to yourself" said the Light.

"Handle to yourself?" Seemed thinking. "Like this?" Hugged himself.

"No, I mean,,,, you, you know, it's forgotten." The light immediately propelled the motor. He tried to drive as slow as possible. Get rid of his anxiety on a smooth road, almost without obstacles.

Eventually, they arrived at the mall.

The light was amazed to see the grandeur of the mall that was the first time he visited.

"It's good" said the Light.

"Is this your first time here?"

The light nodded quickly.

"Mas, what are you looking for?"

"Shirt."

"What kind of clothes?"

"As for you, I want to buy it for you."

"Forku?"

"Yes, as a gift. Isn't it your birthday?"

"Huh? Your birthday?" The light looked at his phone and checked the date today.

"I forgot, hahaha. It must be because it was never celebrated. Let alone being celebrated, given this new congratulation, hahaha." The light of laughter covered the pain in his heart. The life that was so sad until the day of birth he did not remember.

"Then, now that we've bought some nice clothes, I've also ordered a birthday cake for us to celebrate at the restaurant" Davin said.

The light wiped the corners of his wet eyes. "Thank you, Mom, at least you treated me like any other human being."

"Don't be sad on your birthday." Davin rubbed the head of the Light with anxiety.

They went to a nice dress shop. Light chooses some home clothes, but Davin instead forces him to buy more. And not only that, Light also bought shoes, bags, accessories, and makeup tools.

After shopping, they went to a restaurant. There, there was already a birthday cake that Davin had ordered beforehand. Davin lit a candle on the cake.

"Now make a wish before blowing it."

Light nodded. He stared at the cake in front of him, then closed his eyes. "I wish, me and,,,,,,"

"Light, just in your heart" Davin said.

The light nodded, then repeated his sentence inwardly.

After praying, the light blew out his birthday candle. Her tears came back.

"Thank you, Mom, it's my first time blowing out birthday candles."

"Here, don't cry, it's your happy day." Davin rubbed the tears flowing down the cheeks of Light.

"Thank you, Mum. Your arrival changed my whole life. You are the angel of help that God sent me, thank you." The light tried to smile back.

After that, they immediately eat the cake, then the dishes that have been ordered.

The light was unceasingly grateful for being reunited with Davin. If not, he would be just a name now. But with an ugly name in the eyes of the public because of suicide. Luckily Davin was there for her and foiled her bad intentions.
