I'm Just a Substitute
meeting Rico and Tiara

Eden threw her phone on the table after Bella suddenly turned off the phone. Bimo who was picking up the file on Eden's desk was immediately startled.

"What is the Lord Eden? Who made you angry?", asked Bimo, who thought Eden had received a call from their business relationship.

"The crazy woman said Tiara went to look for Rico! I want to go home now! If Tiara's really going to find Rico, I have to find her! How dare Tiara go outside without my permission. It is fitting that this morning he looked calm, after the incident yesterday, it turns out he already had a plan!", said Eden angry, but usually Eden rarely tells his personal problems to anyone, including Bimo.

"The appearance of the mistress is very calm, cook has an affair? Who is Rico? Why is the master so angry his wife met Rico", thought Bimo only inwardly, but did not dare to ask Eden who was being emotional. Eden did not like to tell the problems of his personal life to anyone, so Bimo even though he was his representative, rarely knew the personal problems of his master.

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

Once at the mansion, Eden immediately emotionally found her room empty, especially her father and aunt Mery were also out. "Really! Tiara had planned it! He came out when there was none. Beware of you Tiara, already dare to try to deceive me! It was only right this morning that he seduced me!", growled Eden inwardly.

Bi Ana who saw the return of Eden in the middle of the day, felt her heart start to calm down. "Don't he look for Tiara" Ana thought inwardly, approaching Eden immediately.

"Finding Tiara huh?", asked Ana.

"Yes, is Tiara not in the kitchen bi?", asked Eden.

"Tiara had permission to go outside this morning, go home to his parents, he said he missed coming home. Tiara returned home to Yanto" said Bi Ana explained.

"That means Mr Yanto is now with Tiara?", asked Eden.

"Pak Yanto has come home, he said told Tiara to go home. Later come home can father or brother who drove him", said Ana again.

"How could he go-go bi? I never gave her a penny" said Eden, who never gave money to Tiara, to keep Tiara from leaving the mansion.

"So before going Tiara there tell me, all of you borrow money from me" said Ana.

"Bi Ana should not lend him money and do not let him out!", rebuked Eden upset and immediately left bi Ana speechless.

"Duh, his wife's koq just out can't? How can a Tiara feel at home when pinching? Bella should have run away! Ah. the Eden is too possessive", Ana grumbled inwardly.

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

As soon as he heard who had come looking for him Tiara, Rico immediately felt happy. "I came out for a while Nadya" Rico told his secretary.

"Well, sir", said Nadya staring in wonder at Rico who immediately walked out of his room with enthusiasm.

"Tumben Pak Rico out during working hours, usually never", thought Nadya, even if there is a meeting with a client usually Nadya already know the schedule, while today Rico there is no schedule to meet any client.

"Near! How did you get here looking for a sister?", asked Rico happily

"Well, sister wants to talk to you too! Let's go to the coffee shop across the street, have a quieter conversation", take Rico who directly holds Tiara's wrist.

Tiara only nodded in agreement, but once outside the company, Tiara pulled Rico's hand to let go of her arm. Inside the company, Tiara did not do that, to keep Rico feeling.

"I walk alone, brother, brother first" said Tiara smiling so that the atmosphere does not become stiff.

Rico finally complied, walking in front, while Tiara tailed from behind.

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

"Have you been able to remember what happened before you had an accident?", asked Rico while waiting for their coffee order to arrive.

"I still can't remember it at all. The doctor who examined me told me not to force me to remember it, because it can cause headaches and even fainting" Tiara explained.

"When I realized, I remembered that I was still in Australia, so the incident after returning to Indonesia was nothing I remembered at all" Tiara continued.

"That means you've forgotten that you want to live a new life with me, and even you promise to learn to love me" Rico said.

"I believe in you, brother, but I don't know what caused me to go that way. First I realized, I was afraid of Eden, but after being together for a long time, I just knew Eden was so caring and loving to me. I even felt guilty for Eden, why could I forget about it. I just found out that I love her too, whereas with Brother Rico, I love Brother Rico as my brother. I'm sorry brother, I don't want to give hope to brother, if I ever promised brother, I'm sorry, forget that brother. Brother Rico is forever my best brother" Tiara said staring at Rico.

Hearing Tiara's words, this time Rico fell silent and could only sigh. "It turns out he loved Eden, I lost. I can't possibly force her to remember that, nor do I want anything to happen with her. Maybe it's time I let go of Tiara, and forgot my wish. Maybe he's not my soul mate! We were only meant to be brothers and sisters. Just blame the circumstances and my greedy family", regretted Rico in his heart staring at the girl.

"Is your life with Eden happy?", asked Rico.

"Blessed brother, Eden was very considerate and loved me. Even when I was in an accident, she was the one who took care of me painstakingly" Tiara said with twinkling eyes.

"Well, if he treats you well, you can be relieved to let you go with Eden. The important thing is that you are happy, that is enough for brother!", said Rico finally.

"Thank you Brother Rico, you are truly my best sister!", said Tiara moved and teary eyes, unconsciously grasping Rico's hand with both hands.

"What are you two doing here!", rebuked Eden who immediately stared angrily at Tiara.

Hearing that voice, Tiara was immediately startled, released Rico's hand, and turned her head towards Eden.

"When the problem is over, why did Eden suddenly appear here?", thought Tiara whose heart was immediately pounding, for fear Eden would be mistaken.
