Substitute Woman
There's Always Happiness

"Darling, we'd better go back to Jakarta tomorrow morning. You see my company's kasian if left too long" Adrian tried to persuade Kanaya to come home with him.

"Can't it be delayed, baby? My best friend is getting married tomorrow? I don't want to disappoint her" Now it's Kanaya's turn to try to persuade her husband by tangling spoiled in Adrian's arms.

"Who wants to get married?" ask Adrian.

"Kartika dear, it's not good if we don't attend her happy event. She has helped us a lot of reception you know" Kanaya toyed with the chest of Adrian's field that always makes Kanaya fascinated with the beauty of her husband's body shape is so athletic.

"really? Wow, looks like you guys are destined to have happiness with each other at the same time huh" Adrian smiled so sweetly at his beloved wife.

Indeed fate is difficult to guess, but the fate that befell Kanaya always coincided with the destiny that approached Kartika. It used to be after Kanaya got married not long after how Kartika followed Kanaya. But Kartika postponed her pregnancy because her husband still did not have a permanent job. When Kanaya became a widow because her husband died Kartika also held the status of a widow because her husband was captured by the actor. Mira tells about Kanaya's life while living here because Adrian wants to know her first love's childhood when she is no longer with him.

"Honey, I want to be honest with you" said Adrian peeping the head of Kanaya with affection.

"What?" Kanaya raised her face until their eyes looked at each other.

"You are my first love" he said as he stroked Kanaya's smooth face.

"His time, not before you were looking at your heart" Kanaya tried to examine the honesty of her husband about the woman who had stopped in his heart.

"Yes, I used to look for him everywhere. Until the ring to propose to him I had prepared, if I finally found him" Kanaya felt a little annoyed with Adrian's honesty, there was a little pain that was so painful in her heart.

"You mean this ring" Kanaya showed the finger that had been embedded in Adrian's wedding ring. Adrian nodded confirming the matter of the ring.

"If you want to give it to him I'll take this ring off" he said then tried to remove the ring, there was pain running through his heart with Adrian's honesty. Pregnant women are so sensitive.

"The ring is on the finger of the right person, the one I've loved all this time and the one I've been looking for".

"Father" said Adrian staring lovingly into Kanaya's eyes.

"Well, he is the one you love. Now that you have kept your promise to marry me" Kanaya recalled the beginning of their meeting that seemed funny. Debate for the sake of debate between them but admiration for each other from the look of their eyes could not lie.

"Did you remember your childhood as Ayu?" adrian asked looking curiously at Kanaya. He also nodded in confirming.

"Seriously".

"You're funny darling" Kanaya breathed her heavy breath.

"That goes by I don't want to talk about it yeah, I remember everything. But don't say the same father. I don't want him to worry" Adrian nodded his head at Kanaya's intentions. Not wanting to scratch old wounds about past events. They spend the night knitting affectionate and loving for the next time. If it was fate, how far would that person go. It will come back to you eventually.

"It's really pretty who wants to give up the status of single" Kanaya seduced beside Kartika, while the seduced only blushed shyly.

Raisya came into the room, where her mother was preparing for the kabul ijab procession. The event was held simply in the house of Kartika. They both decided to do this marriage in private. Only close relatives and acquaintances are invited to stand.

"Ma, later promise to make a sister. Let Raisya have his friend" said the son of Kartika suddenly made himself surprised. Indeed, Raisya was very supportive and happy when Pak Gunawan came to propose to his mother. He did expect the most handsome teacher at his school to be a father. His eyes were indeed emitting an aura of happiness beyond his mother who was about to get married.

"Ah, I want to grow up quickly so I can meet my soul mate and fall in love at first sight" he said fantasizing with a red face. Kanaya and Kartika are a little surprised to hear Raisya's chatter. The little boy who is still sitting on the bench in SD already understands the problem of love.

"Don't watch most dramas. Living in the real world is different from those in drama stories or novels" Kartika is a little annoyed with her children who mature before her age.

"Study right, focus first. Don't think about going out first. Mama schoolin dormitory just know your taste" he threatened to immediately make Raisya cluck annoyed.

"It's not so ma, I still can't believe Mr. Gunawan will be my father".

"Well you know Korean artist Lee Min Ho, Gunawan sir looks like him at a glance. That's why Mr. Gunawan is very popular among elementary students, Junior High School to High School in my place" Raisya's story is full of excitement.

"Surely they will be jealous of me, because the mother who became his wife Pak Gunawan. How can a cute stepbrother again. Uh gemes" Raisya still continues to praise his new sister and his new papa. Maybe she was so because she was too happy, honest since Kartika's divorce with her ex-husband. Raisya never got affection from his papa, not because it was forbidden by Kartika. He was banned by his new wife. That is the result of divorce, the child who is always the victim.

Kanaya sees the adorable side of Raisya if like this, she is so excited and enthusiastic about her mother's marriage. Raisya embraces Kartika so unfortunately she continues to kiss her mother's face.

"Beautiful mom, you deserve to be happy. Seeing my mom happy I was happy too. I promise to be a better kid. I'll take care of my mom, dad and sister" he promised as if he was going to be the head of the family. Raisya does think adults are like Kanaya's children. Maybe they are used to seeing the heavy lives of people around them. Make them strong and independent.

"I accept his marriage and the marriage of Kartika Dewi Andini with a set of prayer tools and a ring weighing five grams paid in cash" Gunawan said in sahuti by witnesses with the words "legit". The procession of ijab kabul runs smoothly and goes directly to the event of family photos.

Actually, the dowry given by Gunawan is not only a set of prayer tools and rings, but a restaurant that he just opened some time ago immediately gave to Kartika. Kartika seemed to not believe Gunawan's words, but all ownership papers had become in his name. For the validity of the signature of Kartika to complete the document. Who ever thought and suspected after a storm now the sun comes approaching in the life of Kartika? Various kinds of scorn that he received after the divorce.

Her beauty salon that had experienced bankruptcy due to the actions of her husband who pawned her building certificate to loan sharks without Kartika's knowledge. It was fortunate that Hendry Kanaya's father helped him. Until he could establish a large and successful wedding organizer like now. If indeed the windfall will never escape it must be ours. If not a windfall even if pursued will never be achieved. Life is like a puzzle. If you always do good, good things will always come.
