Only Substitute Women
Talk to Nania

"Nania, is this really you?" ask Carnations to make sure. Because Nania doesn't look like she used to. The woman's body looks thin, less taken care of, her once very smooth face now looks dull. Her clothes were also just three-quarters pants combined with a t-shirt, whose color was almost fading.

Nania did not answer at all.

"What message do you want, sir?"that's what came out of Nania's mouth. The woman acted as if she did not recognize Carnations.

"Nania, you just continue the laundry in the kitchen, fearing that many customers will come again!"

"Good, Mom!"sahut Nania went to the kitchen.

"Which message did you want, Ma'am?" ask me again, the woman who owns the shop.

Carnation who was still staring at Nania's departure gasped in shock when asked back the middle-aged woman in front of him.

"Oh, this one, this, this and this, ma'am," Carnation again pointed towards the food she wanted.

"Oh yes, Mom? that's Nania, working here?" Carnations could not hold back his curiosity anymore.

"Oh, yes,Mbak! when it comes to asking for a job here, the situation is very concerning. She said she divorced her husband, her parents, kicked her out because she said she was no longer useful. Because he said all this time his parents always asked him for money. So when she divorced her husband, her parents thought she was no longer useful" she said, scooping her order onto a plate.

"You know him?" whispered Shakila who from earlier was just silent, in the middle of her curiosity.

"He's my ex-friend, brother. She used to snatch my girlfriend who was her husband. He also wanted to trap Arjuna. Ah, come on, it's all over. Now I really love to see the situation," said Anyelir with a sad face.

"You must not be fooled by his slick appearance. This is karma for him" said Shakila.

"So what should I do, brother? should I laugh with satisfaction? then, it means I'm just like him dong. I know for a fact, Brother, if he actually did something evil to me because of circumstances," explained Carnations, looking back at the kitchen.

"Easy! you just eat your food!" Shakila pointed towards the plate filled with food that was already in front of the Carnation.

"There's only one thing you have to know, whatever the circumstances or the reasons, what he did first, it's still not good" Shakila continued, again.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Mom, Nania's an old friend of mine, can't I just take her for a minute?" said Carnation after the food on his plate was up.

The middle-aged woman, did not immediately answer, but from the look on her face it was seen that the woman was quite objected.

"If he leaves, who will help me here? if you want to take him away, preferably later in the afternoon, after this shop is closed. That house he rented, right there!" the woman pointed towards the tenement house, which looked very small.

"Emm, can't ya? how about I pay for all this food? did Mom allow it?" Carnations are not desperate at all.

The woman thought for a moment and then smiled widely, then nodded her head, assuring.

"Nania, you're here for a second!" the woman shouted calling Nania out.

"What are you doing, taking him from here? you want to find danger?" whispered Shakila, objection.

"So calm down, this time I'm sure he won't do any harm" whispered Anyelir confidently.

" Nania! where the hell are you?" the middle-aged woman shouted again, in an annoyed tone.

"Yes, Mom!" Nania came out of the kitchen in a hurry. Again his eyes were rubbed with the eyes of Carnation.

"You, if you are called, must come quickly! what the hell are you doing in the kitchen there? is the dishwashing not done yet?" sniff the woman.

"That's it, Mom!" sahut Nania while bowing her head, hiding her shame in front of Carnations.

"Well, he said he was your old friend. He wants to talk to you. So, you go with him. But, remember tomorrow as always we should've come here,"

"But, Mom, I'm __" Nania bit her lip, glancing at the smiling Carnation.

"That's over there! I don't want to lose any money" she said again, insisting on no objection from Nania.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Why did you bring me here? are you going to insult me? if yes, please, do it as much as you do!" nania said in a cold tone.

Meanwhile, Shakila secretly sends a message to Arjuna, informing the man that Anyelir is now talking to a woman named Nania. Arjuna's former lover also did not forget to take a photo of Nania secretly.

"Why do you still think badly of me? I can't possibly do that. Regardless of the evil things you did to me, however you were once my best friend, until the envy came and destroyed the friendship of the three of us" said Anyelir, who was still covered with a smile.

"I'm ashamed, Nye! I'm ashamed to see you again. Now I have received my karma. As it turns out, happiness that comes from cheating, will not be eternal. Everything will surely end" said Nania smiling.

"As you say, I did it all, because I envy you. You want to know why I envy you?"

"Actually, I already know," said Carnations. Of course, Anyelir's reply made Nania gasp in shock.

"You-you, know?" nania's voice sounded trembling.

"Yes, I know. But that's just my guess and I want to hear from you myself" said Anyelir casually.

Shakila took a deep breath and exhaled it out.

" I'm envious of your happiness, Anye. You only have a mother, live a mediocre life but you always get full affection. As for me .. I have complete parents, but they consider me a burden to them. They always demanded that I be a filial son by giving them money, no matter what. You live mediocre, but many people like you, be it from teachers, underclassmen and even upperclassmen. While me? I felt invisible in front of them. I'm really getting jealous when Bayu, the guy I like, likes you. That's why I can slander you, so I can get him. Just so you know, this is all advice from my mama, who really wants a rich man's daughter-in-law. Now, after I divorced Bayu, I was cast out, Nye! Nania explained at length without pause and started sobbing.

"I'm sorry Anye! I'm really embarrassed to meet you. Now, you get away from me, assuming we never know. I'm trying to be a better person now.

Carnations smiled again and grabbed Nania's body and gave the woman a hug.

"I support you to be a good person. You did something bad to me, but I've forgiven you. Now I consider what happened to me as a way to unite me with Arjuna. You remain my friend. I really miss our time together, I'm sure Vika will miss you, too,"

Nania's tears came out more and more from the eyes that were already like the eyes of the panda. "Thank you, Anye! I am now calmly living my days, hearing that you have forgiven me," the smile on Nania's lips widened between sobs.

Meanwhile, Arjuna who panicked when reading the message sent by Shakila, directly out of the office followed by Radit. Arjuna drove his car at high speed, to the address that Shakila also included in his message.

However, how shocked the two men were when they saw the scene in front of him, where Anyelir and Nania were chatting so intimately, even to the point of laughing.
