Substitute Woman
Hendry Decided

"Gerald's been secured" reports Adrian's men to Adrian.

The Aston family is now in mourning. The person who was hardest hit was of course Hendry because he felt unable to protect his wife.

Adrian was only able to strengthen and encourage Kanaya for the sadness she was experiencing at this time. Losing a valuable person in his life. The first person to teach him everything about life. Adrian can understand the feeling, because he felt it also when losing Adam's opa.

"I've been locked up, the man who was the mastermind in this incident" Adrian said when his wife looked better. When his sadness began to diminish. Adrian told Hendry about Gerald. But Hendry did not want to take care of it for a while.

"Alright, I want to meet him" Kanaya firmly said. Adrian agreed too.

For a few days Vanya lived in the house of Rachel's mother. Darren, Davina and Sam have gone to Singapore. They went back to his activities taking care of the Marven family business. Sam who has become Davina's husband inevitably helps Darren take care of his company.

Vanya approached Hendry who was sitting enjoying a nicotine bar that was considered a stress reliever. She brought him a cup of black coffee, Hendry's favorite drink. He wanted to try to get Hendry to chat.

"Kopi bang" he bargained while putting the cup of coffee. Hendry just smiled faintly in response. Vanya sighed.

"Ma'af bang, there's actually something Vanya wants to ask her brother. That's also if you don't mind" Vanya started to open talks to Hendry.

"What do you want to ask? Ask, why should I object to your question?" soft said Hendry. Since long ago, Hendry has always been gentle with Vanya.

"It actually has something to do with Mira. Vanya is not happy if you ask this directly" Hendry looked serious to hear from Vanya.

"meaning?" Hendry was curious about the question Vanya wanted to ask. Seriously what is it?

"Tell me, you don't make me curious like this" said Hendry who has now positioned his seat opposite Vanya. Now even Vanya who felt unkissed because of nervousness hit her heart.

"Actually what is the contents in the glass bottle that Kak Mira gave to Kanaya after giving birth to the fame bang? What's it do for?" that was the thing that had been troubling Kanaya's mind.

"That's it" Vanya nodded to the words of Hendry.

"That's all you want to ask, it's really just that" Hendry finally laughed loosely for the first time. After losing Mira a few days ago. It made Hendry so moody and sad at all times. But this time he was able to laugh because of the silly question from Vanya. Yeah, sounds ridiculous to Hendry.

"Why? Is something funny?" thought Vanya. However, in the other corner of his heart Vanya was happy to see Hendry's laughter back.

"No. I guess as important as anything, so that would offend Mira" Hendry then fell silent after mentioning his wife's name.

"That is indeed a very valuable special oil. Why why?" Hendry asked again.

"I was astonished at Kanaya. Because he can move fast. She gave birth a few hours ago. Impossible it was, for women who had given birth could fight segesit and hit and kick so strong" Vanya now really seriously recounted the incident when Kanaya defeated the man who had the mohawk hairstyle.

Hendry then whispered the name of the oil in the bottle, then did say its function as Vanya saw. Vanya shook her head as if in disbelief.

"What do you not believe will be real if you are in Borneo?".

"I didn't believe it either, but I did. What else to do. You can see for yourself, Kanaya can be healthy in a relatively short time. Kanaya also has a good body despite having given birth to four children" Hendry explained.

"Not think about it anymore".

"Forget it".

"For what?" Hendry just smiled looking at Vanya's bead eyes. While Vanya just silently looked at Hendry.

*****

Kanaya meets Gerald, the man who has been the cause of her mother's death.

"Are you the one who dares to intrude on my family's life?" Kanaya sits opposite Gerald, whose hands are tied up in a chain.

"Please, forgive me. I promise I won't bother and annoy you anymore. I beg Mr Adrian" Gerald begged Adrian's leniency to release himself. Gerald deeply regretted all his ego-based actions and momentary emotions that burned his anger.

"Don't I say, don't start to tease. But you heeded my words".

"I have no right to let you go. Because it's my wife's and my father-in-law's business" Adrian stood up and folded his arms. He wanted to see what his wife would do. Hopefully not disappointing.

"I admit, you had the guts before coming here. But after hearing your request. You are no lower than a coward and a trash man" Kanaya gave a shot on her left foot.

"Aaaakkhhh" fresh blood flowed down Gerald's left leg.

"Crazy, sadistic too. Bini me. Directly on torture" Adrian muttered in his heart. But his heart was proud.

"I'm not just gonna let you go. But, just calm down. I will definitely set you free" Kanaya stood up and walked over to Gerald.

"Do you know? I'm your life-depriving angel" Kanaya punched Gerald's leg wound with the end of his heel. Gerald groaned in pain. As he opened his mouth wide, Kanaya immediately put a gun into his mouth.

"If you scream, then this bullet will

through your esophagus".

"Enjoy the pain, as I enjoy the sadness of losing such a meritorious person in my life".

"What would you do if someone killed your parents?".

"Revenge of course. Aye, kan. Just like you did before. Wanting to avenge my husband, my mother was killed for your revenge".

"Then you have to feel the same way" Kanaya said with anger as she remembered her mother was injured by a gunshot.

Kanaya further pressed her heel thrust on the gunshot wound in Gerald's leg. His hand firmly overtook the face of Gerald who was shapeless because of the swelling was beaten by Adrian before.

"I think it's been enough to play around for today".

"I'll be back next time" Kanaya patted Gerald on the cheek.

"Don't take that bullet out of his leg. Let him feel what it's like to be shot" Kanaya asked Adrian's men who were there.

Adrian gives his arm to be held by Kanaya. They both smile at each other. For Gerald's business, Kanaya's final decision was to trust Hendry. Let Hendry dispel the sadness first. Before judging Gerald.
