Only a Substitute Wife
32. Keep Away From Agler!

“Thank you well, Brother. If so, I'll go back first. See you,” says Clara

“Daddy! You be careful on the road. Later, I will call you again,” timpal Yanti waved her hand at Clara.

Clara walked out of the publishing office. He breathed a sigh of relief. This time, his dream of becoming a writer will be well realized. Even though his dream was that no one knew, not even the closest people.

“Clara!”

Clara turned her back if her name was called by someone. He widened his eyes looking at the figure in front of him.

“Agler?!” screeches Clara

Agler walked up to Clara with a big smile on his face. “Hai! Do you have any business in this publisher's office?” ask Agler who just saw Clara come out of the Publisher Cluster.

Clara was nervous at the moment. What should he answer to Agler? There's no way he's telling the truth.

“A-Ah, that .. I visited my friend who works here. Wellh, that,” replied Clara who wished Agler believed what she said.

Agler nodded in understanding. “Oh, so. I thought you were publishing a book so come here,” Agler said

Clara was slightly stunned by Agler's words. “Which I might publish a book. I'm not good at imagination. Oh yeah, you too, why is it here?” clara asked, he deliberately wanted to divert the conversation so that Agler did not ask her much.

“Eihh, you forgot well if my practice place is here?” ask Agler.

Clara looked behind her. At that moment, he saw the signboard of Agler's practice. He sighed softly in his heart. He forgot that Agler's practice site was one lane away from the Publisher Cluster.

“Aha, yes. I forgot about that. Besides, I've never been to your practice, have I?” timpal Clara

“Yes, you want to go to my practice place?” take Agler

Clara nodded once. “Bby! I also have no job at the moment,” Clara said

“Come!”

Clara and Agler walked together to the man's practice. When they got there, Clara could see there was a person in her white coat.

“What are they also doctors here?” clara asked in a whisper.

Agler nodded slowly. “Daddy, they are also psychology doctors here. That glasses guy, his name is Farrel. And the other one is Juan,” Agler explained

“Agler!”

The two men in white coats came over to Agler. They looked at Clara who was beside Agler.

“Ciyee, you finally brought a bustle here,” Farrel said with temptation.

“Daddy nih. Tumben,” added Juan

Clara is so bad at being mistaken for Agler's girlfriend. When he wanted to refute the two men's words, Agler had already spoken first.

“Hey, stop that! This woman is my sister-in-law. Called Clara. He's not my girlfriend you know,” Agler's timpal refuted the words of his two best friends.

The faces of the two men were somewhat surprised by what Agler said. He also felt bad even saying the wrong thing.

“Ma-Sorry, we think you're Agler's girlfriend. After that he never brought any woman in front of us,” said Farrel

Clara was a little surprised by that. He thought Agler was a lot closer to women, like Keenan.

“Ohh. Agler never dated?” ask Clara

Both of them shook their heads quickly.

“Near women never. Especially dating,” joking Juan

“Hey, are you guys insulting me?” agler protest

“We...”.

“Excuse me!”

They turned their eyes to a woman who entered the room.

“There's patients. Let me just handle it,” said Farrel approached the woman.

“Clara, come. I'll take you to my room,” get Agler to pull Clara's hand into her room.

Juan smiled faintly at that.

“While I think Clara fits Agler. How could that Clara be the same as Keenan?” juan muttered with his thinking face.

Clara and Agler arrive at Agler's room.

“What here usually you will accept your patient?” clara asked, spreading her gaze around Agler's room.

“No! I usually take patients in the next room. While here I use it for a place of rest,” explained Agler

Clara nodded in understanding. “But, here is a long chair for therapy?” timpal Clara pointed towards the black long chair at the end of the room.

“Wah, you're smart to know about that therapy chair,” praise Agler with a look of amazement.

Clara chuckled softly. “I often watch drama tau. I used to see this chair in the drama I was watching,” Clara came back.

“I seem to have to come with you to watch those dramas. I think new knowledge will be added,” reply Agler who also chuckled slowly.

“It must be very tau,” said Clara

“Yes, you sit down first. I'll take a drink for you,” said Agler

“You can't say this is a hassle. I was just for a second. Wait here,” said Agler who walked out of his room.

Clara was only able to accept the coercion of Agler. Suddenly, his phone rang. He took his phone. He was quite surprised because the one who called him was Keenan. He was wondering if he should answer that call.

But, finally he shifted the green icon on his phone.

“Ha-Halo”

[“Halo. Where are you?” ask Keenan]

Clara slightly gasped when she heard Keenan's cold voice.

“A-I'm outside,” replied Clara

[“I know you're outside. But where are you at this time?” ask Keenan back.]

Clara was silent for a moment. He hesitated to tell the truth to the man.

“I'm on...”

“Clara, here's a drink for you,” chirps Agler who entered the room.

Clara gasped at Agler's arrival.

[“You're in Agler's place at the moment?” ask Keenan]

For some reason, Clara felt that Keenan was using an angry tone at the moment.

“I...”

Agler took Clara's phone. It made Clara again gasp.

“Clara, it's here. What was? What's wrong if my sister-in-law comes here?” ask Agler in a satirical tone.

The phone was turned off unilaterally by Keenan. It made Agler look confused at the phone.

“What's up?” ask Clara

“Nih your phone. He turned it off,” replied Agler gave the phone to Clara.

Agler looked at the wistful gaze of Clara.

“You are calm. He won't be able to hurt you. There's me. Just tell me if he dares to hurt you,” said Agler touching Clara's shirt.

Clara smiled thinly. He is not afraid of Keenan at this time. He was thinking about why Keenan was so random. Why does he care who he is close to?

“Agler!” call Juan who enters Agler's room.

Agler and Clara looked directly at the man.

“What's Juan?” ask Agler

“It, in front there...”.

“Clara, let's go home!” sahut Keenan is behind Juan.

“Ehm, this. Your brother came here,” said Juan who put on a rather awkward face.

Clara was shocked by Keenan's sudden arrival. Didn't they just call? Why is Keenan suddenly here?

“I'm here to pick up my wife,” Keenan said with emphasis on every word.

“Clara just got here. Let him here first,” hold Agler

There was a flash of electricity in both of the brothers' eyes. Cold eyes dominated the two. It made Clara and Juan feel the repressed air in the room.

“I am her husband. I'm entitled to Clara,” Keenan said

Agler was grimacing slowly. “What husband always makes his wife cry constantly,” Agler said

“You...”.

“Stop! Agler, I'll go home first. I'll meet you later,” cut Clara who directly walks out of Agler's room.

Before following Clara out of the room, Keenan first gave Agler a sharp look. Which was only reciprocated with a cold gaze by Agler.

Juan approached his partner.

“Agler, why are you still fighting with your brother? What's the mistake between you guys not done yet?” ask Juan

“The error between us will never be finished,” hiss Agler with a sharply turned gaze.

Elsewhere, there is a cold atmosphere in a car driven by Keenan. Clara turned her eyes towards the car window.

“Stay away from Agler!” keenan

Clara looked straight at Keenan. “Why? Why should I stay away from Agler?” ask Clara

“I don't like!” answer Keenan spontaneously.

Clara was shocked by what the man said. He screeched softly at Keenan's reply.

“What do you care for? Have we not decided not to interfere with each other's relationships? Why now do you care who I'm close to?!” clara growled with an annoyed look.
