My Brother's Substitute Role
Part 123 Women with glasses
Done checking some reports Alby tidied up his desk.
"Al," called Daffa in his habit of going straight into Alby's room without permission.
"Lu, Daf," replied Alby.
"We eat first yuk, Daf before we go home!" Daffa invites Alby to eat first before returning home.
"Where to eat?" ask Alby.
"Come come with me!" bring Daffa.
"All right." Alby stood up from his seat wearing the back coat he had put on the chair.
"Come on!" alby said after he was tidy and then walked out of the room to follow Daffa from behind.

An hour's drive by now they had arrived in front of Daffa's subscription restaurant.
After parking the car, they entered the restaurant.
"Welcome" said the employee who stood beside the door as a welcome guest.
Alby and Daffa replied with a smile.
"Just sit there, Daf!" Alby invited Daffa to sit at table number six.
"Want what message, sir?" ask one of the restaurant staff.
Daffa pointed to the menu list.
"Well, wait a minute, sir!" say the employee.
Daffa nodded.
"Al, how was yesterday's meeting with Mr David?" ask Daffa. Yesterday he did not join Alby meeting with clients because he had to replace Alby meeting with the board.
"Thank God, he agrees with our offer and is interested in the products we market" replied Alby.
"Thank God then" said Daffa.
"Al, I feel like you're nyokap nyenger voice yes," continued Daffa.
"Your feelings only once," replied Alby.
"Not really. The sound of laughter is very similar to the voice of Mother and Revan." Daffa said as he looked through the entire restaurant room, his eyes were fixed on a table containing five people because the position of the restaurant chair was a long sofa so it was not too clearly visible with people sitting a little far away. 'Kayak know them yes, do not-don't really be Mother and Revan,' inner Daffa.
"Al, try to see the table like it's Mother and Revan deh." Daffa told Alby to look at the corner table.
"Lu was wrong, Daf. Where might Mother eat in a place like this let alone the same Revan," said Alby. As Alby knew, Mother was rarely eating in a place like this with her child, if with her friends most likely she was a gathering of mothers-mak arisan, but if with her child it was impossible.
"Al, my feeling is that Mother, let's just watch their movements" Daffa replied.
"All you pay attention to." Alby was very lazy to follow Daffa's advice.
Daffa continued to watch the corner table moves while Alby was busy with his phone. 'What's this? I didn't see Mommy wrong with who she was so beautiful, but I seem to have seen this woman at the Azmia college. Is he Azmia's best friend, but what does that have to do with Mommy. What he's a candidate for Revan, Alby's inner self when he sees the status of his mother's WhatsApp. Alby did not recognize Azmia who had a new look wearing glasses and her appearance was also slightly different from the figure of Azmia who he knew. Alby is increasingly curious about the woman who is with her mother.
Azmia pinter once when she met Mother Azmia took off her glasses so that Mother could recognize her, but when taking pictures Azmia deliberately wearing glasses and masks so as not to be recognized by the Pranata family when they see her picture with Mother and Azmia also tell everything to Mother about the change so that Mother is not surprised when saw him on the road and Azmia was also forced to give her new mobile number to Mommy.
Soon after, because it had been a long time chatting Azmia and Karina pamit go home first because there are still some work that they have to work.
"Yes, dear, but the same promise Mother you must not avoid Mother. Mother will be very sad if you do not want to meet again with Mother," said Mother.
"Mia promised," Azmia replied, convincing Mother that her in-laws were not sad. Azmia could not see Mommy sad even though she was not her parents, but Azmia in-laws were just like her own parents.
Mother hugged her daughter-in-law tightly as if she was not willing if her daughter-in-law had to leave her.
"Take care of yourself, honey. Mother will always be there for you. Mother loves you," said Mother on the sidelines of her embrace.
"Mia also loves Mother. Mother also take good care of herself," Azmia replied.
"Sister Cabin, Sister Revan, Mia go home first yes," Azmia said.
"Yes, Mi. Be careful, yes" said Revan and Cabin.
"First yes, sister," said Karina to the Cabin and Revan then she greeted Mother's hand.
"Assalamualaikum." Azmia said as she stood up from her seat.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied Mother, Revan and Cabin together.
"Well, that's exactly what I said" Daffa said as he watched two women stand up from a corner table.
"What's right?" alby asked when he heard Daffa's words.
"Look, it's not Azmia's best friend." Daffa pointed towards the two women who were standing up and wanted to leave the corner table.
Alby turned to look in the direction Daffa showed. "That's it" said Alby.
"Who, Al?" Daffa asked back.
"The woman." Alby pointed at the woman wearing the glasses.
Daffa followed Alby's point of view. "Lu, know, Al?" ask Daffa.
"No, but I saw him at Azmia's college when I was studying Azmia" Alby explained to Daffa. "I think there's something strange about this, Daf you see." Alby reveals her Mother's WhatsApp status to Daffa. The status of the photo of the Mother with the woman in glasses.
"That means my guess was right at that table there's your mother and your sister. Is he probably Revan's candidate?" guess Daffa again.
"It could be like that" replied Alby.
"It looks like we have to find out who that woman is" Alby said.
"Gue agreed." Daffa agrees to Alby's idea to find out the identity of the bespectacled woman pictured with her mother.
Daffa was also curious about the woman so he made her agree with Alby's idea.

"Bun, Revan please don't tell Mas Alby about the Azmia change in appearance" Revan said.
"Yes, you calm down. Mother also does not want your daughter-in-law to continue to be hurt by the actions of your Brother," replied Mother. He will also teach his son a lesson for daring to hurt a good woman like Azmia. If only Mother knew more early on Azmia maybe Mother would never match Alby with Azmia so that Azmia did not feel too because of her child's actions.
"We're going home now?" revan asked his mother because they had long enough veranda inside the restaurant.
"Yes, go! Mommy is satisfied to meet with Mother's daughter-in-law," said Mother Rita.
"Alhamdulillah, Revan so happy to see Mommy like this," replied Revan. 'So happy Mother can meet Azmia, ' Inner Revan when seeing the face of Mother who radiated happily.
