Only a Substitute Wife
12. Keenan's sister

A black car stopped in front of Keenan Gibson's house. Shortly after, the owner got out of his car. In accordance with his words that will invite the wife to go to the main residence of Gibson.

Keenan entered the house and met the butler.

“Aunt Nani, where's Clara?” ask Keenan

“Oh, Young Madam is in her room. Said he was going to the main residence,” Aunt Nani replied

“Daddy, we'll go there. You see my brother has come home,” reply Keenan

Seen Aunt Nani who was somewhat surprised by Keenan's words. “Third Young Master is home from Canada?” ask Aunt Nani

Keenan nodded his head. “Daddy. He's already home. So Mama told me to come with Clara there,” Keenan replied

Aunt Nani looked at Keenan. It made Keenan understand the meaning of that gaze. “Bi, why look at me like that? Is Aunt worried about me if something like that time will happen again?” asked Keenan while touching Aunt Nani's shoulder.

“Of course Aunt is worried. Young Master will definitely have trouble there later,” said Aunt Nani

Keenan shook his head slowly. “Aunt don't worry. Nothing like that will happen again. Since I've been my lucky charm,” reply Keenan with a mysterious smile. It makes Aunt Nani so curious about the ‘lucky charms’ intended.

Suddenly there was the sound of high heels going down the stairs. Which made Keenan and Aunt Nani turn to the source of the voice. Keenan gave a surprised look when he saw the figure of Clara who was really beautiful with a baby blue dress she wore.

Until the moment Clara had stood in front of him, he still did not budge to take his eyes off Clara. Clara looked at him confused.

“Kak Keenan?” call Clara while waving her hand at Keenan.

Keenan finally realized from his daydream. “You're a long time ago anyway. Udahlah, let's go,” protest Keenan while passing with a face that held shame.

Clara looked at him confused. “What's with him? Why was I suddenly angry? PMS time well?” ask Clara

“No Clara. The Young Master is ashamed of your current appearance,” said Aunt Nani

Clara was getting a confused face. “Ha? Embarrassed? Shame why?” ask Clara

“It...”.

“Clara!! Hurry up!” yelled Keenan from outside.

“Iya! Aunt, I'm going first. See you,” said Clara as she passed from in front of Aunt Nani.

Aunt Nani who saw that immediately chuckled softly. He shook his head because of the attitude of the couple.

“Hopefully your relationship can be even better. So that each other does not want to let go of each other,” muttered Bibi Nani

While in the car where Keenan and Clara were, there was only silence. Keenan who seemed to want to say something and Clara who looked just ordinary while looking out the window.

“Ehm!”

Deheman's voice from Keenan made Clara look directly at the man. “What's up? Do you have a sore throat? I got lozenges. This,” Clara said while giving candy to Keenan.

“Didn't you see that I'm driving right now? How can I eat it myself?” keenan protest

“Hm? How about dong? Don't want any?” ask Clara

Keenan let out a rough breath. How could this woman beside him be insensitive at all?! Has this woman never dated?

“You bribe me dong. Kayak just that I don't know,” complains Keenan

“Oh bribe! Say dong from earlier. Open your mouth,” timpal Clara

Clara pointed the candy at Keenan's mouth. Keenan accepted it immediately. In fact, he also deliberately sucked Clara's finger which made the woman quite surprised by what Keenan did.

“Heiii, why are you sucking my finger?” clara

“Not intentionally,” replied Keenan with an ordinary face.

Clara puffed her cheeks in annoyance. He looked back out the window.

“Have you ever dated?” keenan asked suddenly which immediately made Clara immediately look confused at him.

“Hm? Why suddenly ask that?” ask Clara

“Emang is wrong if I ask that? Is that a sensitive question for you?” ask Keenan back.

Clara was silent for a moment. “I-It ... ah! We have arrived!” clara as they approached Gibson's main residence.

Keenan knew that Clara was hiding something by deliberately diverting the conversation. Keenan chose not to question him again.

Their car stopped in front of Gibson's main residence. Just now Clara was about to get out of the car, it was already the first by Keenan who opened the door for her.

Clara was somewhat stunned when Keenan reached out to her. He was silent for a moment because his mind was suddenly empty.

“Clara, let's get down. Why are you quiet?” asked Keenan who immediately awakened Clara from her daydream.

“O-Oh, yes!” Clara immediately grabbed Keenan's helping hand and walked together to get inside the house.

Keenan grabbed Clara's hand for her to put on her wrist. Clara was quite stunned by it. But he believes that Keenan is doing it for acting only so that his parents believe that they are in a good relationship.

When they went inside, they were immediately greeted by Mama Amanda.

“Wah, finally you guys came too. Mama has been waiting for you to know,” greet Mama Amanda with a big smile.

“Sorry, Ma. Me...”

“I've been picking up Clara for a long time. So long come here,” said Keenan who immediately cut off Clara's speech.

Clara was quite stunned by what Keenan did. Keenan tried to cover up what happened.

“Hmm, I've guessed that's the reason,” timpal Mama Amanda

“Mama, that's not...”

“Where is my sister? Said he was here?” asked Keenan who again cut Clara's words while hugging Clara's waist.

“Oh, he's in his room right now. You guys go in first. Come,” take Mama Amanda

“Why do you always cut my words earlier?” clara asked in a whispering voice.

Keenan approached Clara's ears. “As far as I am,” replied Keenan who immediately made Clara look annoyed at him.

Because of his frustration, he immediately pinched Keenan's waist.

“Auch! Why are you pinching me?” keenan protest

“Feel it!”

“You have come apparently,” greet the Papa, Andy.

“Goodnight, Papa!” greet Clara

“Goodnight too Clara! You have to play around here often. Even without being with Keenan,” said Andy

Clara just nodded her head stiffly. She was actually still a bit awkward with her husband's family. Although everyone in this main residence was very kind to him.

“Kakak!”

Everyone immediately turned their eyes towards the source of the sound from the stairs. Everyone stared with a faint smile at the man, except for one person.

The man came down the stairs and walked towards his family. Until finally he stopped walking when he was close to his family. The surprised look he gave as he stared at the woman beside his older brother.

“Clara?!”

“Agler?!”

All who were there were immediately surprised when Clara knew the figure of the younger brother of Keenan.

“Clara, do you know Agler?” ask Amanda

“I know him, Ma. The woman I told my mother about. The woman who cried in the middle of the road and hit me was,” Agler explained

Keenan was quite surprised to hear that. He doesn't know if Clara is crying. But when is that?

Amanda grabbed Clara's hand. “Daddy, Agler at that time told Mama the woman he met. The woman was crying. Why sweetheart? Why were you crying then?” ask Amanda with a worried look.

Clara became silent. He doesn't know what to answer at the moment. There was no way he could tell them the truth why he was crying at that moment. He glanced at Keenan who also seemed to want to know what the answer was from him.

“Ehm, Mom. I told you that's why Clara was crying. He fell on the road and his knees were bleeding. That's why he cried and I treated him at that time, ” said Agler

“That's why you're crying, Clara?” ask Andy

Clara looked towards Agler and the man immediately blinked one eye.

Clara knew Agler told her to do what he said.

“Myah Mama. I cried because I fell down at that moment. I can't see much blood,” replied Clara

Amanda stroked Clara's shoulder. “Other times you be careful well. Invite one of the servants at home to accompany you away,” Amanda said to her daughter-in-law.

Clara nodded her head slowly.

“Ya. Now we start dinner, yeah,” chirped Andy

“Oh yes. Right too, let's go to the dinner table,” Amanda said

They all ended up walking towards the dining table. All kinds of food on the table.

“Mama don't know what you like. Hopefully there is food on the table that you like well,” said Amanda

“I'm not picky about food, Ma. Everything looks good,” replied Clara

“Daddy, very visible if you like to eat,” chirps Agler

Clara looked straight at Agler. “What do you mean I'm that fat?” clara's Protest

“I didn't say you were fat. I just you look like eating,” Agler argued

“Mr Agler, it looks like you need to learn a figurative language well. Your words indicate that I am fat in your eyes,” Clara complained

“Nothing kinda contains tau. Better than a skinny woman. Like there is a disease alone,” timpal Agler

“What Agler said, Clara. You are not fat tau,” added Amanda

“Oh yes, I want to ask you something from the beginning I want to ask,” pinta Clara stared at Agler.

“Hm? What is it?” ask Agler

“Are you a psychologist?” ask Clara

Agler nodded his head slowly. “Dad, I work as a psychologist doctor,” Agler replied

Clara nodded in understanding.

“Why do you know if Agler is a doctor psychologist, Clara?” ask Amanda who was a bit confused when Clara suddenly asked her son.

“Because...”.

“Because I once tested Clara's personality. Hence he asked this,” cut Agler

Amanda and her husband understood.

Clara looked towards Agler and muttered the word ‘thank you’ silently and replied Agler with a thin smile.

All these things did not escape the vision of Keenan who had caught the interaction between his sister and his wife. Somehow he was very upset when Clara knew Agler well and vice versa. The two seem to be familiar with each other.

He could feel his heart heating up due to the closeness of the two. The cold look he gave out from that annoyance in his heart. While Clara still seems to be chatting well with Agler who also looks happy with Clara.

Honestly, he never saw his sister like that. Because his sister rarely interacts with people he first met.
