My Brother's Substitute Role

My Brother's Substitute Role
Part 9 Confusing circumstances


The sky began to darken like the dark heart of the woman who had now sat on the balcony chair of her room enjoying the beautiful night sky with the twinkling starlight.


'If they don't throw me away maybe I shouldn't replace Big Brother's role, ' Inner Azmia. He recalled the incident earlier this afternoon which made him feel even more insignificant. He was also wrong because he could not accept the reality, but it all took time.


Flashbacks


Last afternoon when Azmia wanted to deliver a drink for her and Angga accidentally saw Alby with the woman sitting at table number 3.


Although she could not accept this marriage, but somehow her heart hurt when she saw her husband was alone with women. Azmia tries to think positively she thinks they are just coworkers.


But his heart cannot be lied to.


Flashback.


It's hard to say no, but sometimes the heart says yes.


"It's late, why are you still outside?" ask someone on the balcony next door.


Azmia, who heard a voice, turned to the source of the voice. "Mas Alby." It was the only thing that came out of Azmia's mouth without answering Alby's question.


"Come in, the night wind is not good for health" said Alby.


"Yes." Yeah." Azmia went inside to the bed and laid down her tired body. Not wanting to continue thinking about his fate, it did not take long he too slept in his sleep.

In the next room.


"Why?" ask someone on the phone.


"............."


"Today was this afternoon, too," he said.


".............."


"Sleep, it's late at night. See you tomorrow." Alby immediately disconnected his phone put the flat object on the nightstand and then lay his body on the mattress.

Morning time.


Azmia, who was well-groomed in her clothes, went downstairs to eat breakfast.


"Good morning, Mbok," said Azmia after being in the kitchen.


"Morning too, Non Mia," replied Mbok Asih who was preparing dishes and glasses at the dining table.


"Aden Alby was gone early in the morning, Non," replied Mbok Asih.


"Oh. Here Mbok sat down for breakfast with Mia," Azmia said, patting the chair next to her.


"No need, Non. The Mbok will have his breakfast at the back" Mbok Asih replied.


"Now, Mbok. It's not good to have breakfast alone." Azmia is used to eating together if there are no parents. Azmia eats with art at home. He is the one who never sees the status of others for him all men are equal in the eyes of God.


"In that case, Non Mia please breakfast the Mbok wait here." Mbok Asih stood beside Azmia.


Azmia stood pulling the chair beside him and then sat Mbok Asih in the chair. "Mbok must eat no rejection," said Azmia while giving a plate that already contains food.


"Come on, Mbok is eating" he continued.


"Ta __." Mbok Asih has not finished talking Azmia has cut him off.


"There is no buts" Azmia said.


Finally, Mbok Asih had breakfast with Azmia.

In office.


"Tumben you, Al early in the morning at the office." Daffa, who was surprised when he saw Alby, was sitting sweetly in his big chair when it was still seven or fifteen minutes.


"So Elvina ran out to the airport" Alby replied.


"Where is he?" ask Daffa.


"There's work out of town" replied Alby.


"Oh, are you turning Elvina around again?" Daffa began to interrogate his best friend.


"No, the cave just helps him. The cave didn't want to be there until it was like that" replied Alby.


"Al, you realize that your actions are like people giving hope to him and you do not think about what Azmia feels like if you see you walk alone with other women" said Daffa.


"He wouldn't care about the cave" Alby replied.


"Azmia must care about you he just needs time to be able to adjust this situation you should as a husband try to give attention to him do not even walk alone with his ex." Daffa Advice. He just doesn't want Alby to regret it later because we'll never know what's coming.


"Dizziness me." Only that came out of Alby's mouth then he stood walking into his private room laying down his body on the mattress, closing his eyes perhaps with a short rest could calm his mind.
