Only a Substitute Wife
8. The Unchanged Keenan

The morning returned to Clara who had just cleaned her body. You could say he woke up early. Somehow he became enthusiastic because Keenan asked him to make breakfast this morning. For that he wants to get ready to make Keenan a special breakfast. In fact, he has seen a lot on the internet about a good breakfast.

Clara walked out of her room with carefree steps. He walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen. In the kitchen, he saw the figure of Aunt Nani there.

“Good morning Auntie!“ greet Clara

Aunt Nani turned her face to Clara. “Good morning to Clara too! Well, it looks like you're really happy right now. What's up?“ ask Aunt Nani

Clara was stunned by the question. He is nervous at the moment. Does he have to tell the truth?

“Hmm, nothing really, Bi. Aren't I usually like this?“ answer Clara

“Hey, you can't lie to Auntie. Auntie knows something's going on. Come on, just tell Auntie,” is Aunt Nani

“Yes, I'll tell you this. Actually, I'm pretty cool because Brother Keenan wants me to make him breakfast. That's why I became a little happy,” explained Clara who lowered her face in shame.

“Hah? Iyeakah? When did Young Master ask for that?“ ask Aunt Nani

“Kak Keenan asked him last night when I made him dinner last night because he was hungry,” Clara replied

“But, the Young Master had already left for the office. My aunt offered me breakfast too. Young Master said no,” explained Aunt Nani

Clara was quite surprised to hear that. Did Keenan just want to play with her by asking her for that? But, last night Keenan asked him with a face so serious that he thought if it was true.

“Has it been a long time since Keenan left?“ ask Clara

“Not long either. Probably about half an hour ago. Clara, I'm sorry if Auntie said this. Don't trust what Young Master says too much. It's not like Auntie wants to provoke you. But Bibi is quite familiar with its nature how,” explained Bibi Nani

Clara thought about what Aunt Nani had said. What Aunt Nani said was also true? He should not have believed the man's words.

The sound of the house phone suddenly rang. Make the two look at each other.

“Let me pick it up, Bi,” Clara said as she walked to the house phone.

He took the phone.

“Halo. Who is yah?“ ask Clara

[”It's me, Keenan,” Keenan replied]

Clara was quite stunned because Keenan called. He knows why Keenan called on the house phone. Because the man doesn't know what his cell phone number is. Because that man never asked. Especially at this time the tone of the man's speech had returned to how it was. It's cold, not like last night.

“Oh, yes. What's up?“ ask Clara

[”Bring me lunch later. Take the food to the office,” Keenan replied]

Clara scrunched her forehead when Keenan asked for it.

Is this guy trying to play me again? ~ Inner Clara

“Do you just want to play me again like this morning? You said you wanted me to make you breakfast. But you're even going to the office now. Sorry, I can't be tricked a second time,” explained Clara

[”I didn't accidentally want to eat breakfast this morning. I had to hurry because there was an important meeting,” said Keenan]

Clara became silent at Keenan's words. Apparently the reason is like that. But is that trustworthy? Keenan wasn't lying, was he?

At the other end, Keenan looked confused because Clara never answered his request.

[”Clara? Are you still there?“ ask Keenan]

Clara immediately realized from her daydream.

“O-Oh Yes. I'm still here. All right, I'll bring you lunch later. I close sulu,” Clara replied while turning off the call from Keenan.

Clara returned to the kitchen with a face full of worry. It made Aunt Nani wonder why Clara was like that.

“Clara, what's up? Who called earlier?“ ask Aunt Nani

“Kak Keenan who just called, Bi,” replied Clara

“Young Master?! What did Young Master say?“ ask Aunt Nani who was quite surprised because the Young Master called. Because the Young Master never once did that.

“Kak Keenan asked me to make him lunch and told me to deliver him to the office later,” Clara replied

Aunt Nani is again surprised by what Clara says. “Do you want to make it?“ ask Aunt Nani

Clara nodded her head slowly. “Daddy Bi. Of course I want to. Keenan is my husband. I have to follow her words no,” replied Clara

“But, Clara. Are you not afraid that Young Master will do something to you?“ asked Aunt Nani who had a worried face.

Clara smiled thinly. He touched Aunt Nani's shirt. “Auntie is calm. Nothing's gonna happen to me. I can take care of myself, ” replied Clara who assured Aunt Nani that she could go alone.

Clara nodded her head slowly. “Daddy, Bi. I'll remember that. Thanks for worrying about me. Oh yeah, I asked Auntie please don't tell this to Mama well,” Clara replied

Aunt Nani scrunched her forehead. “Although why?“ ask Aunt Nani

“You better not know this. I'm sure if Mama finds out about this, Mama will catch up with me. I'm worried if later Brother Keenan act, even seen by Mama later. It would be messy if it happened,” Clara said

Bini Nani was shocked to return. “How can you attach importance to the reputation of Young Master? If the Madam finds out, let it go. Let the Madam know how her son behaved,” protested Aunt Nani

Clara shook her head quickly.

“Don't Auntie! I don't want Mama to think about it later. Mama's been asking me to change Kak Keenan's nature. I've already taken that up. I don't want is a big problem arises because of a small problem,” said Clara

Aunt Nani stared at Clara. He hugged Clara's body tightly.

“You're too good, Clara. Aunt is proud of you. Auntie is happy because you are here. You never take revenge for what others have done to you. But, Auntie just wants you to also pay attention to yourself,” explained Aunt Nani

Clara let go of the hug and looked at Aunt Nani with a big smile. “I'll remember what Auntie told me. Thanks yeah,” timpal Clara

Aunt Nani just nodded her head slowly.

At exactly eleven o'clock in the afternoon Clara had reached Keenan's office, Desmond Group. Clara immediately walked inside. First he went to the reception desk to ask where Keenan's room was because the man didn't tell him at all.

“Excuse me!“

“Daddy, Miss. What's up?“ ask the receptionist.

“I want to meet with Keenan. Eh? Young Master Desmond. Where is the room?“ ask Clara

The employee looked at her from top to bottom. “Are you his sister?“ tannya

Clara shook her head. “I am not his sister, I am his wife,” Clara replied

The employee was surprised by what Clara said. A second later he suddenly laughed loudly.

“Hahaha, Hey, Miss. Don't joke dong. If you want me, don't be gini either. This is too much to know. Hey, everybody! See this, this little girl said if she was the wife of the president,” she explained that made everyone immediately walk closer to her.

“Wah, where might the president want with a small child like this!“

“Although her face is very pretty but she's a trickster. Play with me!“

“Hey, self-conscious dong. Where our president may be your husband. So bad!“

Clara clenched her hands tightly. He did not expect to get something like this when he came to Keenan's office.

Did Keenan deliberately tell those people to insult me? Maybe he doesn't want people to know that I'm his wife? ~ Inner Keenan

“More Lady!“

Everyone immediately stared at the figure of the man approaching Clara. Clara remembered who this man before her was. He is Keenan's personal assistant, Darel.

“Darel?“ call Clara

“Why is Young Madam here?“ ask Darel

“Kak Keenan told me to come here to make him lunch,” replied Clara showing the paper bag she brought to Darel.

“Oh. Yes already, let me deliver to the president's room,” invite Darel

Clara nodded her head. “Bby!“

Darel begins to lead Clara to take the elevator to Keenan's room. Before the elevator doors were tightly shut, Darel gave a deadly look at the group of people.

“Why were you surrounded by so many people earlier?“ ask Darel

“They can't believe that I'm the wife of Keenan. That's why it happened like that, ” replied Clara

Darel let out a rough breath. “They are really outrageous. They should get punished later,” complained Darel

Clara shook her head slowly. “Do not like that. Don't do anything to them. They don't know the truth. That's why I think like that. Don't blame her again,” hold Clara

Finally they reached Keenan's room. That door is not closed. Makes Clara see what's going on in there.

Suddenly Clara widened her eyes looking at the scene in front of her. In front of him, Keenan kissed each other affectionately. Clara could feel her heart beating rapidly.

Clara walked over to nearby Darel who had not yet moved. “Please give this to Kak Keenan later well when the activity is complete. Excuse me,” said goodbye to Clara as she passed from in front of Keenan.

Darel became curious. He slowly follows Clara's way of peering into what the woman actually saw. His eyes also widened to see what was happening in front of him.

“Young Master really hasn't changed at all,” murmured Darel
