A Substitute Bride
Choosing to Avoid

In order for Kayla to feel calmer, in the end Roseline and Alex also invite their children to come out first. Kayla was in the hospital room accompanied by her parents.

"Axel, what really happened? Why does Kayla look so angry like that. What's the matter, actually?" Ask Roseline to the child.

"It's just a misunderstanding, Kayla just won't listen to my explanation just yet" Axel said.

"You can't lie to Axel. You think we don't know Kayla, we all don't know Kayla's attitude. There's no way Kayla won't listen to your explanation, there's definitely something you've done, which has hurt your wife's heart, right?" Said Alex.

"Daddy's right, Mommy's sure as well. So quickly you tell Mommy and Daddy what's the problem, why is Kayla so angry with you?" Ask Roseline.

"Why don't you believe in your own children. I told you this was just a misunderstanding. So Kayla was jealous because Keisha came to the apartment looking for me, and Kayla just attacked Keisha so that Keisha was wretched and went to the hospital. Yeah I didn't mean to blame Kayla Mom, Dad, but I just wanted to find out why and Kayla got angry. Kayla even thought I had defended another woman, but that was not the point at all. So that we both had a fight and Kayla accidentally fell down" Axel explained.

"Geez Axel, you are really outrageous huh. Mommy doesn't think, what the hell is on your mind. You are not tired, not satisfied after what Keisha has done to you. After all the woman was really shameless huh, already knew her own brother's husband was still being chased, still being sought. If according to Mommy it is natural that Kayla is angry, she does not like her husband to be bullied by others and that is because Kayla loves you, Axel. You should understand that. But Mommy is sure, Kayla can not intentionally hurt her own sister, even to hurt the mosquitoes she did not have the heart, because of her gentle attitude," said Roseline who was not in deep thought with her child. Even he held his own head because he felt very dizzy thinking about the behavior of his only child.

"Mom's already Mom," said Alex calming his wife.

"This kid's totally outrageous Dad, just be ashamed. She had been given a wife as good as Kayla, a perfect wife, but she still expected a woman who had obviously hurt her. What's inside this kid's mind Mommy really doesn't understand" Roseline said with emotion.

Axel just fell silent, he did not know what to answer. But he also thought about his mother's words.

"Is it possible that Kayla really loves me?" Axel asked in his heart.

Although Axel had fabricated a free story to tell his parents, Kayla did not tell in detail the problems that occurred to both parents. Because he did not want them to feel sad or disappointed, he only said that at this time there was a little problem between him and his husband.

"Yes if there is no serious problem. But you better make up with Axel, it's not good if you ignore your husband like it keeps loving" Karina said.

"Sorry Ma, but for now I can't. It's still very difficult to talk to Axel. I still want to be alone, yes. Oh yeah Ma, Pa, after I'm allowed to go home, I want to go home to Mama and Papa, I just want to be alone first, can't I?" Ask Kayla.

Although he knew there would be Keisha, but it was better than having to keep meeting with Axel. It is possible that Axel will scold and torture him again, making him continue to feel depressed and not good for the content. So it's better to avoid it than it happens again.

"Yes it's up to you, then let Papa talk to Axel," said Raymond.

"Well, if that's your choice, Mama and Papa don't mind. Mama and Papa's house is also your home" Karina said.

"Thank you Ma, Pa" said Kayla.

Although it felt very heavy, Kayla was already very confident in her decision. She had been trying to survive all this time, but it felt like she could no longer bear it because her feelings were so sensitive lately to continue being hurt by her own husband. So Kayla also chose to avoid, hoping Axel can also reflect on all his mistakes.

"Sister Kayla, brother why? How come you're here?" Keisha asked who saw her parents with her sister.

"So last night your sister went to the hospital and today Kayla decided to come back here first, because she's having a little problem with her husband too" explained Karina.

"Oh so after sister Kayla hurt me, now she comes back here because of her husband's problems. Surely her husband did not accept it because he had hurt me, Axel would still love me" Keisha said.

Kayla just looks silent, very reluctant to serve her sister for now.

"Don't talk to you, Keisha, what if Kayla comes here? This is Kayla's house. You have decided to run away from home and humiliate your family, but you will come back here. You don't deserve to go home anymore" said Raymond, who looked very angry.

"Pa, it's Pa. Don't be ripped off again. Come on baby, Mama take you to the room," said Karina, then she and her husband again led Kayla to take her to the room without caring about Keisha.

"Ih .. beware Kayla. You've taken Axel and now you're taking Mama and Papa's attention completely. Okay, if you're here, that means Axel's only in his own apartment. Then this is my chance to be alone with Axel. And I will not allow you to live in peace in this house either. Oh right, I think I should welcome you with a little surprise first," Keisha's inner self, who was very upset, suddenly smiled at an idea, and then called someone on WhatsApp.

Ting ... tung …

Not long after, the sound of the doorbell of the Askara residence sounded. Keisha who had been sitting in the front room was very excited to open the door. Because he was very sure if the guest who came was someone he had been waiting for. Sure enough it turns out he is the one, so Kayla let him in and went to call her brother who was in the room.

"What the hell is Kei, you can't see me rest" Kayla protested as she was forced to meet someone who came along.

While at this time Raymond had returned to the company to work and Karina was there no sudden need so he went out for a while.

"Come on, sister, just for a second. Poor guests have been waiting for you since. You better get down first, I'm sure that you'll be happy to see the guest, brother," said Keisha.

Somehow Kayla's mind was even fixed on the figure of Axel. But if it was Axel, why was Keisha so eager to meet him? Didn't Keisha really dislike Kayla being associated with a man who is still considered to be her lover.

Because he was actually also curious, in the end Kayla also obeyed what Keisha wanted. Until now Kayla and Keisha have been in the front room and met the guest referred by Keisha.

"Well this is your guest, sister" Keisha said, pointing to a smiling man staring at Kayla.

But it made Kayla feel very surprised and widened her eyes perfectly round.
