Replacement Bride
Like a mistress

''Have you eaten yet?'' alex asks awkwardly, for some reason since their relationship began to warm up, as if there is no topic for her to talk to Zoya.

''Already, aunt Devi cooked rice biryani, only this first time I tried it,''

''Enak?''

''Banget, it feels like I want to say more, but embarrassed.'' Zoya tells the story like a child is telling stories to his parents so that makes Alex more anxious to see it.

Alex's hand gently stroked Zoya's hair, and with her other hand she was driving very smoothly.

Zoya is astonished at this time because Alex took her not to go home to the apartment but to the North town close to her campus.

''Do you want us here ?'' ask Zoya.

''You'll know later, too, Zoya screeched her lips, Alex saw that with her smiling lips.

''Don't provoke me, '' he said with a hand rubbing Zoya's lips using her index finger.

Alex stops the car in a minimalist house but looks very comfortable, somehow Zoya is brought there, and whose house is it? zoya wonders.

''Soon, your second semester, and your internship time will also be over soon. You don't have to stay in the dorm anymore,''

''Then?''

''This house we will use for our second house, if you are tired to go back to the apartment, you can come home here, and I will come here too.'' Said Alex hoping for a sweet smile Zoya but no, Zoya instead fell silent with a gloomy face that made Alex link his eyebrows.

''Why ''Why? don't you like this house I bought? all right we're gonna buy a bigger house, hmmm? don't be sad anymore.''...

''It's not that,''

''Then?''

''By buying this house, why do I feel, I am like a mistress, said Zoya. Alex was wide-eyed to feel disbelief with his wife's mind, hoping that the gift he gave her was welcomed with a warm embrace instead Zoya had various thoughts about her.

''Jeez Zoya, don't ever think like that, I just want to make it easier for you, never think like that again huh.'' Alex takes Zoya into his arms, her goal is quite the opposite of what Zoya thinks of her.

The house is not too big but certainly the dream of some people, because Alex deliberately designed it with a complete greenhouse special plants that Zoya himself really likes plants.

Entering it is complete with furniture that is certainly not the usual home furniture, Alex also chose it with good quality, and, I don't know the bird from which Alex is a proud man who also likes to be luxurious, and in fact he really likes the simple but quality.

Long Alex takes Zoya around the house, until they arrive in their room, Alex opens the door for Zoya to enter first. The bedroom with the interior of the room wall is very beautiful and certainly comfortable, especially the dominant paint color green which is indeed Zoya's favorite color.

''But what?''

''Why is there no sofa like in the apartment, are we going to sleep in s-sana.'' Zoya's face flushed with her own questions, as did Alex who was instantly misbehaved with Zoya's questions.

''Emmm, come here, take a look at the view from the balcony, it's great right?'' Zoya squinted her eyes knowing that Alex was switching her questions.

Standing on the iron trallis of the balcony room, the atmosphere is beautiful because it directly faces the backyard that there is a fish pond and a greenhouse, indeed this is what Zoya really wanted first he would buy his own house, and his dream was granted by Alex.

''Thank you.'' Lirih Zoya is still staring at the green grass.

Alex grabs both of Zoya's shoulders, gazing at her deeply, his right hand rising to Zoya's nape pushing Zoya's head closer to her. His eyes continue to look at Zoya's eyes and lips in turn, Zoya has closed her eyes, until when the distance between them was only a few inches left but the sound of the ringing of the phone on the nightstand because Alex put it there while charging it out again disturbing nya.

Alex closed his eyes holding back his irritated self, Zoya opened her eyes and there was a look of disappointment there but she also felt funny with the look on Alex's face.

''Sshhhh, now what's more, '' Alex growled. ''Wait a minute yes, we will continue .'' Add it with a whisper at the end of the sentence.

Zoya chuckled, she did not expect the mountain that was blocking her and Alex had really started to collapse, but her feelings that she herself did not understand would be carried, difficult to admit, but she did not understand, it was also difficult to open wide because of her status which was only a contract wife.

I married her just because she left on her wedding day, but if she still loves that woman, what if she comes back, I'll just forget it. Zoya continues to monologue with herself.

There was fear in his heart, fearing that Alex would suddenly kill him just like that, fearing that Alex was just putting false hope for him, and this is the reason that does not want to have any relationship with a man since long ago, because he thinks a relationship if it has been separated can no longer be as close as before.

''Ya´aya?! the police found something in the river near the ravine, I'll be back, you don't go anywhere.'' Alex's cup bailed with a brief kiss on Zoya's lips that made the sweet girl's blood rustle.

Her hands touched her own lips, her face reddened, though not the first time her lips came into direct contact with Alex's thick lips, but this time it made a difference to her feelings, but what ?

In the ravine where Aiden fell, Mark contacted Alex because the police found something that seemed to be a piece of Aiden's clothes, and when Alex arrived, the desired result finally made him happy.

Sure enough, not far from the pieces of Aiden's clothes, Aiden's body was found also with a state of death and began to rot. Alex and Mark can breathe a sigh of relief because of that, even his irregular sleep for participating in the search is not in vain.

It's not that the two men were evil expecting someone's death just that he was afraid that Aiden would hurt someone else again.

A few months later.

At the airport, a person who had just set foot there, walked gracefully, wearing sunglasses was also a mask that covered part of his face. Walk by continuing to call someone and ride a taxi that seems to have been in his message first.

''To Violet Brand first,'' he said so firmly.
