I'm Just a Substitute
Bram and Tiara meeting

Tiara's footsteps instantly came to a halt, her feet instantly frozen in place, as soon as she saw who was waiting for Eden below. His face pias instantly.

Aunt Mery who saw the change in Tiara's face, started to feel something was wrong, let alone that her heart had felt bad, when Bram said he had a college friend named Bella in Australia.

The shock turned out to be not just Tiara, Even Bram was shocked, he did not expect that he would find Tiara in the place of Eden.

The two people looked at each other, but there was not a word said, as Tiara and Bram were each in shock, not expecting them to meet again under such circumstances.

"I have to move fast before this secret is revealed, lest Eden get angry knowing this lie" he thought

It was Aunt Mery who immediately realized that something was wrong.

Aunt Mery decides to immediately pull Bram out of the room, before Bram says a word.

...********...

"Son Bram, you must know Tiara, right? Aunty beg of you, do not tell Eden that the one married to her is Tiara not Bella!", said aunt Mery who can guess that Bram knows Tiara.

"You dare lie to Eden!", said Bram angrily after realizing his shock.

"Sorry son Bram, aunty beg of you this time, suppose you never know Tiara as Tiara. Let's just say Tiara is Bella. We did it not to harm Eden, but for some reason" Mery's aunt pleaded.

"What reason?", asked Bram would not agree with aunt Mery's request.

"The one who was supposed to marry Eden was Bella, but when the wedding Bella disappeared. So we had to replace Bella with Tiara. Aunty hopes Bram can close one eye" said Mery again pleading.

"Why don't you guys be honest that Bella's missing? why should Tiara be replaced?", asked Bram did not accept.

"You know for yourself the nature of Eden. Especially at this time the Wijayanto family company is still supported by the Nugroho group.

Eden also has always considered aunt has no good intentions. So Bibi felt that to be honest saying Bella ran away from this marriage, of course Eden increasingly looked ugly all Wijayanto family including aunt.

Bibi wanted to have a harmonious relationship with Eden long ago, if until she knew Bella ran away from this marriage because Eden became blind, of course Eden would be more angry with the Wijayanto family", mery said again.

"But still you can't do something like that. Did Tiara voluntarily do it? Or because of your threats?", asked Bram still not accept.

Bram is increasingly convinced that Tiara was forced to do so, Bram believes Tiara is so happy when she expresses her feelings.

"We didn't force her, Tiara herself volunteered and volunteered to do so" Aunt Mery told a lie this time, to get Bram to put an end to the matter immediately, and accepted her plea not to expose their lies.

"Don't lie bi, it's impossible for Tiara to do it for no reason!", said Bram angrily.

"Son Bram, we are his family, of course we know him better than anyone else. Tiara did it willingly for the sake of the family!", said aunt Mery remained in her stance.

"So you mean, auntie knows Tiara better than I do?", Bram asked increasingly emotionally.

"Of course Bram, you may be his friend, but we are his family" Mery said.

"But I'm not an ordinary friend, I'm his lover!", said Bram who immediately made Mery silent for a moment and could not answer again.

...********...

"Koq was silent in place anyway? Actually you are blind or me anyway?", said Eden annoyed, because there is no movement from Tiara who stood glued.

"Oh sorry sir Eden, I am confused because there is no one here!", said Tiara who finally realized from her shock.

"It turns out that with one lie made, it will definitely continue with another lie" Tiara regretted in her heart.

"Si Bram would like to fend for me?", said Eden annoyed at himself.

Eden has become more irritable and emotional since experiencing blindness.

"It is better for Mr. Eden to sit on the sofa first, try to find an aunt and ask where his brother Mr. Eden is" said Tiara who felt he was getting eloquent lying.

Tiara immediately took Eden to the sofa, before Eden changed her mind.

Fortunately this time Eden did not refuse again, he actually also felt tired, after a long time of inactivity.

...********...

Sure enough, Tiara's guess, Aunt Mery and Bram are in the park.

Both seem to be in a tense situation.

"Have met, I have to face it! At least I have to apologize to Bram, how I was guilty of leaving him without any message" Tiara said in her heart, trying hard to deal with this complicated situation.

Seeing Tiara's arrival, Aunt Mery immediately approached Tiara, before Tiara got closer to him and Bram.

Mery immediately clasped Tiara's hand, thus Mery pleaded Tiara's understanding,

"Auntie hopes you can solve this problem well, so that your father's company can still run smoothly.

Try to have Bram keep the exchange you made with Bella a secret.

Aunty told Bram that you volunteered and were willing to replace Bella willingly for the family. Aunt only found out she was your lover after aunt lied to her. Forgive aunt", said aunt Mery whispering, afraid to be heard by Bram.

"Alright bi!", said Tiara a long sigh.

"Thank you Tiara" Mery said before leaving Bram and Tiara to let them speak freely.

...********...

"Tiara, you must have forced Bella to replace her to marry Eden? isn't it? Leave this to me, let me explain it to Eden!", said Bram holding both shoulders of Tiara .

With both hands, Tiara lowered both of Bram's hands from her shoulders and retreated to keep her distance from Bram.

"No one forced me Bram. I volunteered to replace Bella myself, I'm sorry that I let you down Bram. Given our friendship, I beg of you, suppose you never knew me. Think of me as Bella" said Tiara, not daring to look at Bram

"You didn't lie to Ara, didn't you accept my love? Why did you suddenly decide to choose the Eden you just met? I'm sure you had to do it all, right? Tell me, I will definitely help you!", said Bram did not accept.

"You can only help me Bram, but you can't help my father who raised me!", Tiara said inwardly trying to hold back her grief so that no tears would come out.
