A Substitute Bride
Dreamed

The two looked at each other, even though the guest had put on his best smile for Kayla, but Kayla was still in disbelief so she did not return the smile and now looked sharply at her sister.

"Keisha you're okay, why don't you tell me that the guest is Devano" protested Kayla.

"Loh indeed why the hell Kak, it is wrong that Kak Devano came here to see Brother. Yes I as a good sister just want to bring you guys together as lovers, where is the fault?" Say Keisha with ease.

"Love what do you mean? I'm married and my husband is Axel, so I may still be in touch with Devano" Kayla argued.

"Sister, there is a word between the two of you. There's nothing, is there? Just like me and Axel. Although Brother and Axel are married, but Axel is still my lover, because there are no words of farewell between the two of us. Same with Brother and Sister Devano. Is it Brother Dev?" Keisha said glancing at her sister's ex-lover.

"I'm sorry if my arrival here annoys you Kayla, I just wanted to see you here, because Keisha told me that you were sick. And you Keisha, you shouldn't talk like that, Kayla and I have nothing to do. We're both just friends" Devano said.

"Whatever is, it is clear now that Kak Devano is here. Did Kak Kayla just want to kick out Kak Devano? Indeed, what's wrong with Kak if Brother chatted briefly with Kak Devano, just as a friend is not wrong, right?" Keisha said as if intentionally wanting to bring the two back closer together.

"Yes Kay, if you don't mind I just want to chat with you for a while" said Devano.

Kayla also felt bad, because after all she had never had a problem with Devano. Although he once felt guilty about Devano having married without his knowledge, but it was also outside his plans, not his wishes. So Kayla herself has been sincere to accept and hope that if Devano will also be like that.

"Yes, if you really want to talk for a while. But I can't take long, because I have to rest again, I'm still not feeling well" Kayla said.

Devano was very happy to hear it, then both of them sat on the front room sofa. Keisha leaves Kayla and Devano.

However, of course Keisha also did not want to waste the opportunity in front of the eyes that he had planned carefully. So when he arrived at the top step, unbeknownst to Devano and Kayla, Keisha took a photo of the two and sent it to Axel.

Meanwhile, Axel who is currently in the company does not seem to focus on working. He kept thinking about his wife who was currently angry with him. He also massaged his own forehead because he felt dizzy with the problem he was currently facing, so he did not care at all when his phone vibrated and there was a message coming in.

"For whatever reason I have to think about Keisha's attitude. If he was going to stay away from me, it wouldn't matter to me at all. I don't love him either. If Kayla now prefers to live with her parents, isn't that good? I don't have to be as angry every day as when I saw her at home. And of course this makes it easier for me to meet Keisha. But why does it feel like something's missing, did I actually start loving Kayla?" inner Axel was currently confused by his own feelings.

Because Axel still can not focus on his work, so he decided to go home first to the apartment. He wanted to rest his body that was so tired. Not only his body, but his mind and heart.

When he arrived at the apartment, his footsteps somehow led him to go to Kayla's room. Axel entered the room, he saw the room was empty but everything was arranged very clean and neat. Suddenly Axel also remembered how he first explored his wife's body by force and hurt her. Axel put himself on the bed, until he unconsciously closed his eyes because it felt so comfortable.

"Darling, you sleep here anyway. Why don't you sleep in your room?" Kayla's voice surprised Axel so much that he woke up and just hugged his wife's body.

"Kayla, are you home? Didn't you say you wanted to spend a few days at your parents' house, until your mind was calm?" Axel asked in disbelief to see Kayla in front of his eyes.

"Yes, I'm home, because my mind is calmer. But I came here not really for long, either" Kayla said.

"Yes, I came here just to remind you not to forget to eat, even if you are busy working. I also want to give you spirit, even without me you have to keep the spirit to live your days yes," said Kayla with a sad look.

"Why are you talking like that Kayla?" Axel asked for an explanation.

"I don't have any reason, the important thing is I just want to say that. And now that I'm gone, yeah, you take good care of yourself" said Kayla, and she left Axel.

"Kayla ... wait for me Kayla! Don't leave me Kayla. Kayla … !" Call Axel.

But Kayla suddenly Kayla has disappeared somewhere.

"Kayla ... don't leave me … !" Axel kept shouting, so he woke up from his sleep and realized that it was all a dream.

"Why should I dream of Kayla like that. Am I really going to part with Kayla and lose Kayla forever? No, I don't want to ruin Mommy's dream. Moreover, soon Kayla and I will have children. Mommy, Daddy, Mama and Papa are thrilled to have a granddaughter of both of us. I can't let Kayla ask for a divorce from me, can't" Axel said. Then he came out of Kayla's room and immediately went to her room to clean up.

After finishing the bath, Axel looked for the whereabouts of his phone intending to contact Kayla. But at that time he realized that his phone was not there and Axel sure left behind in the office, so Axel rushed to the office to pick up the phone.

"I'm sorry Dev, because I can't stay with you for long. I'm really tired and I want to rest, after all, it's late in the afternoon, isn't it," Kayla said.

"It doesn't matter Kay. Just being able to meet you makes me happy. Because lately you are difficult to contact, even you never want to reply to my message again" said Devano.

"I'm sorry Dev, I know that you're a good man, you helped me too. But I realized, after all, I was a wife. It's not appropriate for me to relate to other men outside, even if only as friends. I have to ask permission first with my husband" Kayla said.

"Yes Kay I understand, I should be self-conscious" Devano said. "Right now that you have completely forgotten me Kay, I can see that you have also started to love that man, even though you have always been hurt by him. Okay I'll be sincere the important thing is that you're happy with him. But if I hear that man hurt you again, I won't stay still, I'll snatch you again Kay," Devano's inner voice while holding the pain in his chest.

"Dev, you're okay, right?" Kayla asked who was looking at Devano back then.

"Yes Kay, I'm fine. Yes, then I go home first. Thank you for accompanying me on a conversation" said Devano.

Kayla is driving Devano to her house. At that moment suddenly he accidentally stumbled on something that made his body stagger, but fortunately, Devano caught Kayla's body so quickly that she fell into his arms and the two looked at each other.

At that very moment, someone who had just arrived at the Askara residence, felt very upset and angry at the sight that was before his eyes at this moment.
