Replacement Bride
Where are you, baby..

"Where are you, baby?"

Last night Alex could not rest his eyes nor his mind, yes! not just silence when he sees his loved ones leaving. Even last night Alex had gone down the street and went to some places just to look for Zoya's whereabouts.

At first he only noticed Zoya from a distance and after the twenty-year-old girl boarded a taxi, Alex was able to follow behind. But after a sign requires her to stop, that's where she loses Zoya's tracks, making her keep looking for her all night.

Dormitory, the house of his friends he had explored, and when he went to the house of Kiandra, he, his feelings are more anxious because he heard from the gatekeeper who said Zoya had been there but had left early and that made Alex more frustrated.

Alex keeps calling Zoya but Zoya's number can't be connected at all. The GPS he installed on Zoya's ring could not be used because the ring was accidentally Zoya lived on the dresser shortly before she left their house.

Mark had helped find Zoya's whereabouts even he also asked Kiandra for help but just like being swallowed by the earth, Zoya could not be found that night either.

The next day, at eight in the morning. The time of the employees flocked to the place to make a living. Alex has been in XC company since dawn and waited until a guard opened the main door of the big company.

From his car Alex anxiously notices everyone entering the main entrance, hoping he can see Zoya. But for some time he did not even see his wife.

With confidence, Alex got out of the car and walked up to the reception desk. Ask the woman who works there about Zoya's whereabouts, but it turns out Zoya is indeed today taking her leave for the next few days.

"Follow?"

"Yes, mr. leave. But if I may ask, you?"

"I'm Zoya Khanza's husband!"

The lady in formal attire gasped because she knew very well who Alex, the owner of Violet Brand and Zoya? his wife? it really makes a woman named Santi can only be silent unexpectedly.

"Since when did he take his cut?" ask Alex who did not get an answer and Alex needs to knock on the table to resuscitate the woman named Santi.

"Yes? oh sorry sir!"

"Since when did he take his cut?" alex repeated his question.

"Since two days ago, she told me to go on vacation with her husband for longing.sorry sir"

Santi silenced his mouth because he felt too presumptuous to say that. But Alex? he feels more guilty for Zoya, because he has ignored her and made the heart of the woman he loved hurt because of her actions.

Without saying anything, Alex just passed by, thinking about where he could find Zoya. Because it does remember Zoya has no one but her best friend and herself.

Meher said that it was a guest room, but what she saw was too much if only for a guest, it is even more appropriate for a real room owner because they see the interior and its facilities.

Zoya also can not close her eyes because her mind continues to be fixed on Alex, who apparently his little heart is already confined to the annoying man.

In the dining room, Zoya is led by a servant to go there. And there was Meher and a grandmother he had just seen last night.

''Good morning, sorry I woke up late" said Zoya with her head bowed because she felt bad.

"It's okay. Sit down, dear." replied the grandmother gently. Meher glanced at the grandmother and continued to alternate with Zoya.

''Thank you, nyo. eumm ne-nek.'' the grandmother smiled.

Eating in silence, and it makes Zoya understand because it is not the first time he eats in the middle of a conglomerate family. With the rules that have been embedded, eating should not be voiced, there is no talk even more about work before everything is completely finished eating, which there is only the sound of clinking of cutlery that sounds vague.

A while later after all he finished with his morning meal. "Zoya, since you're still taking a day off. You can rest here or I can ask you to accompany grandma, how?" said Meher and Zoya.

''And oh yes. Later you do not need to go to the office in Semanggi, you can work to the branch office only. I've already made your transfer letter from head office to branch"

"branch office? if I could tell, why?"

"Because I need people from the center directly to oversee the performance of the employees there, and it suits you"

''alright.''

''Then you can clean yourself, and your clothes have been moved in the closet''

''Well Madame Meher, then I say to go to the room for a while after that I can accompany grandma.''

Zoya passes from the dining room leaving Meher and Grandma.

The two women of different generations were throwing smiles at each other. Meher's hand grabbed her grandmother's hand and said "now is mom really sure?"

''Ya! sure enough, Zieya's face and personality are on her. If only Zieya was still there, maybe she felt the happiest mother because she had a good and sweet child.''

Those sagging eyes were already flooded with tears and ready to shed, as was Meher who was bowed down in sorrow at hearing the old woman's words. But wait! Mammy? why did Meher suddenly call her mother, wasn't the old woman her grandmother? yes, there is a secret that only the two know and it is still well preserved.
