I'm Just a Substitute
Mery's Wish

Eden was deliberately making things difficult for Mery. Eden purposely proposes her illogical wish, in order for Bella to annul her marriage to him.

Eden had always suspected Mery, so Eden was worried that Mery had betrothed him to her niece Bella, having a certain intent.

But after twice making requests, and both requests were followed, Eden had no reason to refuse the marriage.

"All right! If you so want your nephew to be Eden's mistress, I'll see how long a girl like that can last with me!", Eden said in her heart.

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

"Well, if Bella agrees, she and I will get married on a fixed date without any celebration. I am tired, want to rest!", said Eden ended the discussion and drove Merry smooth from his room.

"Well Eden, the Wijayanto family will always try to fulfill your request. Moreover, you are now in a blind state. And the one thing aunty wants to ask, is it true that you don't want to operate on your eyes?",

ask Mery.

"That's none of my business, aunt! Wouldn't aunty be happier if I couldn't see?", said Eden cynically.

"You always feel suspicious! Why would aunty expect you to be blind? Aunt is only worried about your situation! Do you want to forever not be able to see?", asked Mery began to get annoyed.

"Auntie's just worried I'm gonna make it harder for my aunt's niece with my blindness, right? I will have eye surgery, if Bella has left me!", said Eden deliberately upset Mery.

And this time Mery was no longer able to resist his frustration.

"All right, then! I will tell Bella to endure whatever happens, so you can never see the world forever!", said Mery, who came straight out of Eden's room and slammed the door tight with emotion.

"I'm sure Aunt Mery wasn't really sincere with me. I'll see how long Bella can stay with me, I'll make Bella leave me. I will make the Wijayanto family have no face to

meet me again, and can't ask the Nugroho family for more!", Eden's promise in the heart that has always been suspicious and not like Mery.

"Be prepared, Bella, I will see where you are!" said Eden in his heart.

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

Mery stared sadly at the photo of his wedding with Nugroho.

"It's really bad to be second!", thought Mery inwardly.

"I've done things to get Eden to like me, but I'm always wrong because of her great curiosity. Is it not permissible to like a widower who happens to be rich?", asked Mery to himself.

Mery used to be Nugroho's secretary, and when Nugroho's wife died, it didn't take long just a year later Nugroho proposed to him.

Mery who admired and respected Nugroho immediately accepted Nugroho's proposal. His age was adrift quite far with Nugroho, making Eden increasingly suspicious of him.

After all, when Eden was 18 years old, Eden was not easily persuaded, and he had his own opinion.

Moreover, Eden's relationship with his mother is very good, so Eden can not accept that Nugroho remarried so quickly. Even Eden suspected that Nugroho already had a relationship with Mery, before his mother died. That's what makes Eden always disliked and opposed to Mery.

Lucky Lily, Eden's sister likes Mery. Lily still needed a mother's affection, so at least Mery didn't feel lonely in the large mansion. Because after marriage, Nugroho did not allow Mery to take care of the company again.

Nugroho knew that Eden was always suspicious of his stepmother, so Nugroho did not want Eden to be more suspicious of Mery, if Mery joined their company.

Lucky with the presence of Lily at least there are still things that can be done. Especially from his marriage to Nugroho, Mery has no children.

Now Mery quite regretted his decision to match Eden with Bella, he was very hopeful that with Bella, his relationship could improve with Eden.

When Bella asked Mery to match her to Eden, Mery had not met Bella for years, because the Wijayanto family had lived abroad for a long time, and had just returned to Indonesia, after finishing his studies in Australia, while Wijayanto and Mita have returned to Indonesia first, to start life and business in Indonesia again.

Mery who just met Bella again after many years, just looking at the surface alone, seeing the beautiful and sweet-mouthed Bella, finally Mery agreed to Bella's request.

But it turns out that Bella is really irresponsible, running away from the marriage that she asked for herself on the grounds of Eden blind.

While Mery who this time did not want to fail again to improve his relationship with Eden also felt there was no point forcing Bella, because she was convinced by Bella's selfish and spoiled nature, as well, how will it serve a cynical and cold Eden.

While Tiara, although Mery does not know her very well, Mery can feel that Tiara is more expected at this desperate time, than Bella.

"Hopefully this time I didn't choose the wrong person again, hopefully Tiara will stand up to Eden's behavior. If the relationship can be good with Eden, at least Eden will not hate me anymore!", Mery hoped inwardly.

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

"It's best that from now on you don't look for my sister again, Bram!", said Bella who was sitting on a swing while receiving a call from Bram.

One thing Tiara never thought of was that Bram would contact Bella.

During college Bram was never close to Bella, even arguably never bergur greeting at all.

Because Bella majored differently with Bram and Tiara.

Bella was interested in Bram, but Bella has a high prestige, because Bella is quite popular in their college because of her beauty.

Bella had heard that Bram came from a wealthy and quite distinguished family in Indonesia, so Bella had tried several times to approach Bram. But because of his efforts in vain, Bella finally forgot her desire to approach Bram, because at that time quite a lot of men who adored Bella.

Bram, who still hasn't given up, doesn't manage to contact Tiara, eventually finding out Bella's phone number, which he knows is Bella's brother.

"Why can't I meet Tiara? We are college friends" Bram said across the street.

"But you've graduated, you're not college friends anymore, are you?" Bella smiled.

Bella has a habit of making people

being curious and playing with people's feelings, especially men.

"How about I say I'm Tiara's lover? So it's only natural that I look for Tiara. Of course you will tell me this time how I can contact Tiara right?", asked Bram, who this time managed to make Bella surprised.
