Substitute Woman
Salvaged

"Tumben mas Dio has come at this hour, it's not time for lunch" Ades was a little surprised when he heard the sound of Dio's car engine that was very driven by Ades.

Ades came out and saw the arrival of his beloved husband. With a happy smile Ades welcomes Dio, but suddenly his smile fades when Dio opens the door of his car and a small child exits Dio's car. Ryan is Ivanka's son whose face looks a lot like Dio's. Dio reached out his hand and asked Ades to welcome him as Ades used to do when Dio came home from work. Ades greeted him with an ungodly heart. What does Dio mean by bringing Ryan home? To care? A thousand questions enveloped Ades' head. There was a trembling pain in his heart as he stared at the innocent face of the little boy before him.

"Adrian asked me to bring him home, saying he was in danger" Dio explained all the questions that gushed at Ades' gaze. Now she wonders why Adrian did this to her? Does he want revenge? Does Adrian want to ruin his household? Does brother Kanaya know about this too?

"Bring him in first, I prepare for lunch first" Ades tried to toughen up, but his eyes glazed over. Dio also realized that Ades' heart is now injured. Although he could accept Dio's past, but not necessarily be able to accept the presence of this child if living with them. Although Dio wanted to, there was no way he would decide this on his own. Ades and Ivanka must be his birth mother.

"Whose son did you bring Dio?" ask Dio's mother when she sees Dio holding Ryan. Dio was silent when his mother asked Ryan.

"His sister te.". "had not finished Dio speaking. Ades interrupted him.

"Dio's son with Ivanka ma" Ades said with a smile, but without him wanting to and aware the clear water just flowed from his eyes. Dio's mother only fell silent in shock at the words of her favorite son-in-law. He stared cynically at Dio asking for an explanation. But Dio was unable to say anything. Ades went straight into the room to shed his sorrow. Sick, really sick. He thought he would be strong and able to endure this reality. He's actually very fragile. Ades tries to contact Kanaya many times but is not picked up by Kanaya.

"You're how? You hurt Ades' heart like this. Didn't you see? She's pregnant again, a condition like she's very vulnerable to Dio. You realize not what you're doing right now" Dio's mother clearly scolded her son when Ades came out of the room and listened to their conversation in the living room.

"She must have been shocked by the way you brought your child from another woman. Why can you be this kind of person? I'm disappointed with you, Dio" said the mother then left Dio. Seen Dio so frustrated with the words of his mother, at least his words in-laws represent the contents in his heart. But this was also unfair to Dio, he was indeed wrong. Wouldn't it be more wrong to forbid him to meet and be familiar with his son.

"O Allah, I beg you to give guidance to my little family and my life" Ades prayed in his heart for the calmness of his heart which was now in doubt.

"Bang, it's not Ivanka's car. Let's hurry up and help him. See the two men pounding on the windshield" Kanaya sounded panicked and immediately got out of the car when the car stopped. Followed by Tora who immediately ran towards Ivanka's car and beat the two men. It was unexpected that they were not only two people but six. The rest got out of the car when Tora beat up the two men. Ivanka opened the car door and ran towards Kanaya.

Seeing Tora who was a little overwhelmed against the six men who were quite good at fighting made Kanaya immediately help Tora. The gun he was carrying he kept in the bag left in the car. Tora keeps watch and tries to protect Kanaya while fighting. Avoiding Kanaya so as not to get a punch or kick then his body he made a shield to protect. Even so the enemy looks exhausted and can be defeated quickly. But when one of them tried to attack using a knife. Ivanka sees this and immediately runs towards Kanaya, as the man intends to attack Kanaya. The knife directly pierced Ivanka's body right on her left abdomen. A shocked Kanaya immediately restrained Ivanka's body from falling. Tora who saw also immediately gave a fist to the man who tried to attack Kanaya.

"Ivanka, relax. You will be fine" Kanaya said as she pressed the wound from the stab. The wounds looked so deep and a lot of blood came out. Ivanka's face began to pale. He saw Adrian's car coming and felt a little relieved.

Adrian is shocked to see the chaos that just happened, let alone seeing Ivanka lying on Kanaya's lap.

"Tora, quickly lift Ivanka into the car. We're looking for the nearest hospital" Adrian orders, who's also worried about seeing Ivanka's pale face.

Kanaya's clothes are now covered in Ivanka's blood. But Adrian still salute, the woman is so tough and strong to face this all. Tora lifts Ivanka's body into the car followed by Kanaya. Kanaya accompanies Ivanka and continues to talk to her to keep Ivanka awake. She was afraid that if Ivanka was unconscious, she had already lost so much blood.

"Kanaya, thank you for coming to help me" Ivanka said stammered. Kanaya just nodded her head.

"I also thank you for saving me" Kanaya now felt sad and somehow tears flowed without permission to wet her cheeks. Ivanka just smiled, her face looked so shady and beautiful.

"I can ask you something".

"Please take care of my son Ryan, love him. Think of her like your own son Kanaya" Ivanka spoke so hard to Kanaya to ask her to look after Ryan.

"You don't think anything, we'll be in the hospital soon. Bang Tora is speeding up. You have to be strong to survive, I'm sure you can and are capable of Ivanka" just a smile given by Ivanka now.

"I sleepy Kanaya, I want to sleep" he said softly.

"Don't sleep first, let's see a doctor first. You need to stay awake" Kanaya pinta.

"You wake me up when you get there. I can't hold it anymore. Please tell Ryan that I love him" Ivanka said, closing her eyes.

"Ivanka, wake up Ivanka" screamed Kanaya in the car making Tora who was driving is now in a panic. He wants to get to the hospital immediately so he can help Ivanka as soon as possible.

Kanaya is busy examining Ivanka's body, checking her pulse. But there were no signs of Ivanka's heartbeat beating. Kanaya is really frustrated, now she is crying hysterically and hugging Ivanka's lifeless body again. Tora who saw also immediately parked the car to the side of the road. Adrian who followed from behind was surprised and approached the car he was riding to find out why. Adrian is shocked when he hears and sees Kanaya crying hugging Ivanka. He could already guess what happened to Ivanka.

"We immediately take him home and we hold his funeral" said Adrian who can understand what Kanaya wanted to say? By looking at his sad eyes, Adrian felt guilty. None of this would have happened if he hadn't asked Kanaya to see Ivanka.
