Only a Substitute Wife
9. Love At First Sigh's

Clara ran quickly down the ground floor. His heart felt so tight at this moment. Why has he never had a good love story? It's always like this. Is it because she already has a taste in her husband, so she can't see Keenan with other women?

But what can he do? Keenan doesn't like him. She would not have reprimanded or scolded her husband for cheating on her. Because from the beginning of the marriage they are only an agreement between the two parents who run a business.

Clara continued to run so fast that people in the company looked strangely at her. Until because he did not see the circumstances around him, made himself accidentally hit someone in front of him.

“Ah!“

Clara was already preparing to feel the harshness of the hard ground. But, he had long closed his eyes to endure the pain, but he did not feel it. He opened his eyes slowly to see what was going on.

Clara's eyes widened when she saw the figure of a handsome man before her eyes. Their faces were so close that they were glued to each other. Until finally Clara realized her position and immediately broke away from the man.

“Ma-I'm sorry! I do not see the road and directly hit you,” said Clara who condemned her stupidity because it had hit carelessly people.

“You don't have to apologize. You accidentally did not hit me because you are currently in a state of turmoil,” said the man.

Clara was stunned to hear what the man said. He scrunched his forehead because he was quite confused by what the man said.

“You mean?“ ask Clara

“What I said is true isn't it? You are saddened by something that has happened to you. Until you become confused. I'm sure you see something that you don't want to see so it makes you run straight away like before,” explained the man clearly.

Clara was speechless. Why did this man before him know so well what had happened to him?

“A-Are you a psychic?“ clara asked with a plain look.

The man laughed at what he was asking. “You are funny too well. I am not a psychic. I know a little about women. Oh yeah, do you want to follow me to calm down? Because it seems like you are still in a state of turmoil at the moment,” take the man.

Clara looked cautiously at the man. He still remembers the lesson of not easily receiving help from strangers.

Looking at Clara's gaze, made her know what the woman was thinking.

“You just calm down. I'm not a kidnapper know. Oh yes, let me be more familiar I should introduce myself first. My name is Agler. If you?“ asked the man named Agler as he extended his hand before Clara.

With doubt Clara grabbed the man's hand. “Clara”

“Wah, your name is good well. Do you know what your name means?“ ask Agler

Clara shook her head because she did not know what the name meant.

“What is important?“ ask Clara

Agler nodded his head. “Of course. My name is Agler, which means peace. Your name also means to know. Clara, which means the woman who protects many people is like a winged angel,”

Clara was quite surprised to hear the meaning of her name. “Wah, huh? But it seems that meaning does not fit me,” chimpanzee Clara

Agler shook his head immediately. “No! That means it suits you. You may not have realized the meaning of the name. Hows it? We're familiar enough, aren't we? I'd like you to take the burden off your heart. We can chat in the front cafe if you still do not believe,” explained Agler with a thin smile.

Clara thought of this offer from the man before her. It doesn't seem like there's any harm in him accepting Agler's invitation. He also did not want to return home at this time. There he will think with the behavior of Keenan that greatly upset him.

For that Clara immediately nodded her head after thinking for a long time. “Alright! There is no harm in going with you,” replied Clara

Agler seemed pleased that Clara had accepted his invitation. “Alright! Come on, let's go there,” said Agler

Clara and Agler walked together towards the cafe in front of the company. Clara was stunned when her hands were held by Agler as they were about to gush the road. To be honest, Clara has never experienced anything like this. Because he was never too close to a man.

Finally they got inside the cafe and chose a seat by the window. A servant approached the two. Clara can catch if the waiter blushes with Agler. Yes, the man in front of him did have a handsome face.

“Message blacktea and chamomile tea well,” Agler said

“Good! Please look forward to the order!“ The waiter walked away in embarrassment. It's getting more and more noticeable that the waiter likes Agler. Makes him chuckle slowly.

“Why? Is there anything funny?“ agler asked who was quite confused because Clara suddenly laughed.

“Nothing! It's just, I felt funny at the waiter just now. Looks like she likes you,” replied Clara

Hearing Clara's reply, Agler chuckled softly. “It's been a regular thing I've been through. Oh yeah, we shouldn't talk formally. I think we are the same age even though I can see if you are younger than me,” explained Agler

Clara nodded her head slowly. “May be okay anyway. That's better too. You helped me earlier,” chimpanzee Clara

“Help what?“ agler asked with a confused look.

“That earlier, you saved me so I wouldn't fall to the ground. I can already imagine how much it would hurt to fall. But fortunately not so,” replied Clara with a little ringing.

“It was dangerous anyway. If you fall to the ground it is likely that you will have an injury to your tailbone which will result in you having difficulty sitting or urinating,” Agler said

Clara widened her mouth slightly at Agler's explanation. “You pretty much know about health well. I get scared when I fall later,” chimpanzee Clara

Clara smiled thinly. Agler's words made him rather calm at this moment.

“Excuse me! Here's the order!“

The waiter began to put the cup on the table.

“Thank you!“ agler said with a faint smile at the waiter.

The maid immediately looked nervous from being given a smile by Agler. “I-Dad, alike. Si-Please enjoy!“ The waiter quickly left with the wrong face.

“You made him misbehave again with just that smile,” commented Clara

“I just gave a smile to give appreciation for their hard work. They are trying to support themselves here. We should have appreciated their efforts no,” explained Agler

Clara smiled thinly. Agler is a really good guy. Even the man was watching the surroundings. No matter who it was, the man would still be kind and would always show a smile that made the person calm. Very different from the man he knew.

“Oh yes, why did you order chamomile tea?“ clara asked with a surprised look.

“Oh, this is for you. Have you ever tried drinking this tea?“ ask Agler

Clara shook her head. “I even just know if chamomile flowers can be used as tea kayak gini,” replied Clara

“You're lucky to meet me means. You should try drinking this tea. I guarantee you'll like it. This tea is very useful to make people calm. Try deh!“ hungry Agler

Clara immediately grabbed the cup containing the tea. Slowly he drank the tea. Before drinking, he had felt calm when inhaling the fragrant aroma of the tea. Especially when he started sipping the tea, he could feel his throat so warm. Suddenly he felt his blood well flowing to make himself feel that calmness. For a moment, he forgot about the problem that had happened to him.

“How? Do you like it?“ ask Agler

Clara nodded her head strongly. “Daddy, this tea is really delicious. Not only is this tea delicious, it makes me feel calm. I have never tasted tea like this,” explained Clara with a big smile while sipping the tea again.

“Good if you like it. You should drink that tea often. Not just to calm the mind. The tea is also nutritious so that we can sleep soundly,” explained Agler

“Wah, you're so great. Your knowledge is vast,” praise Clara

It looks like Agler is putting on a smile for the compliments on him. “Thank you for that compliment. I feel happy when you praise me like that,” Agler said

“Ihh, what the hell? I'm sure there must be many who say this to you,” reply Clara

You're right, Clara! Many people praise me as they say. But, somehow when you say it, it feels so special. It feels so good to hear it from you directly ~ Inner Agler

If anyone thinks Agler likes Clara. Answer, yes! That'sthat's true! Agler had loved Clara since their first meeting when he helped Clara who almost fell because she hit him.

I don't know why he's happy to see Clara's pretty face. When the woman cried earlier, she wanted to wipe away the tears of the woman. Tell him if he doesn't have to cry, he'll protect her. Love at first sight, that's how he feels right now with Clara.

“Are you still in High School?“ ask Agler suddenly.

Clara gasped as the question came to her. “No. I graduated last year,” replied Clara

“O-Oh, I thought you were a schoolboy. How old are you?“ ask Agler

“My life is 19 years,” replied Clara

“Oh, if so, then you are currently in college dong,” said Agler

Clara's face immediately turned sad when she heard the word ‘kuliah’. He shook his head weakly.

“Not really. I didn't go to college either,” replied Clara

Agler could see a sad look. Actually he wanted to ask the reason Clara did not go to college. But Clara had risen from her seat.

“I'm sorry first. Thank you for bringing me here. You're a good man, Agler. I'm glad to see you. See you,” said goodbye Clara while walking out of the cafe.

“Eh?! Clara, wait!“ agler shouted, remembering if he wanted to ask for Clara's number.

But it turns out he was late because Clara had already taken a taxi and left. Agler gave a rough sigh.

He became curious why when he touched on the subject of college, Clara immediately changed.

“What really happened to him? Why is it suddenly like that? I became more curious about him,” muttered Agler

The sound of his cell phone rang out behind his jacket pocket. He took it and answered it.

“Daddy, Ma. I'm going there now,” said Agler, turning off the call.

Hope we meet again, Clara. If I see you again later, I'll ask why you are ~ Inner Agler
