Surrogate Husband
Darkened

In the afternoon, Reihan woke Alicia because the food had also come and felt Alicia's rest was enough. Azan zuhur also reverberated.

"Alicia, wake up."

Alicia who heard the voice of a man and felt a shock in his body, automatically woke up immediately. Out of shock, he reflexed away and made Reihan astonished.

"Why?" Reihan asked in astonishment as he looked at his wife who was away with a dazed look. Understandably, lives have not been fully accumulated.

"Geez, who do I think I am?" He rubbed both hands against his face.

Reihan grew increasingly astonished by his wife's ambiguous answer and simply flicked his shoulder when he saw Alicia step into the bathroom.

"What does he think I'm a demon?" Reihan scratched his head while walking out of the room.

In a room that looked messy, a woman was seen staring at a photo of a man with hateful eyes and tears. His hands stretched out to wipe the photo.

"Why did you marry him? Why can't you be mine? Why?" His screams then slammed the photo onto the floor.

Before long, he cried. Then laugh out loud like a madman. The mother banged on the door of her room from the outside. But the woman did not pay attention to him.

After a long silence, he laughed again. Then say something with a creepy expression.

"I'll make you separate from him. If you can't be mine. Then no one will be able to have you." After saying that he immediately grinned and laughed out loud.

A few minutes later he stood up and opened the door. He looked at his mother who looked shocked when he saw her state of mindfulness.

"What's going on?" Asked the mother who was none other than Helena when she saw the messy face of her daughter.

"Nothing." Answer's flat.

"Why is your face like that? What was? Same story as mama." Urge Helena and hope the child will tell her.

"I'm okay ma. No, my mom doesn't have to ask anymore." He answered, then closed the door to his room.

Elsewhere, Alicia had just finished eating lunch with her husband and immediately cleaned the cutlery they had just used.

"Mas, wait for today just buy it. Because I'm afraid tomorrow I can't go home on time." Alicia said after she finished cleaning the tableware.

"Are you sure you want today? Not tired yet?" Ask Reihan to make sure.

Alicia shook her head quickly. "My energy was full after the break. So now it's just yuk."

Reihan's smile instantly expanded perfectly. "Okay baby, let's go."

Alicia was silent for a while before walking into the room to pick up her bag. "Let's go."

The two of them immediately left the apartment for the supermarket.

Arriving at the supermarket, the two immediately enter and Reihan picks up a tampa trolley requested. It made Alicia look at him with a big smile. Moreover, Reihan has walked to the place he usually visits when going shopping to the supermarket with his mother or sister.

"What's wrong?" Reihan asked astonished at getting such a look from his wife.

"No.... I often nemenin mom shopping ya."

Reihan coughed, because what his wife said was indeed true. She was always taken by her mother and brother during monthly shopping. So that he unconsciously did what he usually did when he went with the two women.

"Yes, you're right." He answered and continued walking while pushing the trolley.

"Sweet my husband." Alicia spoke spontaneously and immediately wrapped her hand around Reihan's arm. Outwardly it was the woman's true nature and made her husband chuckle a little.

They buy all the necessary food. Starting from kitchen spices, various ingredients, utensils and others. Their shopping activities had stopped for prayer assyar. After shopping, the two went straight home and arrived at the apartment coinciding after Maghrib.

While at the mansion, Rafan and Bian are in the living room watching a movie on Netflix.

"There is no big brother." Rafan muttered and happened to be heard by Clara who passed by.

"Hmmm, usually your brother isn't here either."

Rafan and Bian turned their heads. "Hi mom, when's mommy passing by?" Rafa asked with a smile.

"Busan, why?" Clara joined her two sons.

"You think mommy miss K, hmmm?" Clara asked with Clara's hands in her ears.

"You know, mommy time you said miss K. It's a serem." Timpal Bian is warming up.

"Hey, you guys really are. Your daddy's love is the same as miss K!" Adhit who just came home from the office.

"That's Rafan who said dad. Bian didn't follow." Elak Bian for not being blamed. Moreover, he was not wrong.

"Rafan didn't say mommy miss K." Rafan is not to blame.

"This is why we talk about miss K? How will it really come?" Adhit sat on the sofa joined by his son and wife.

Shortly after saying that, the electricity suddenly went out. So Clara immediately panicked because she was afraid of the dark. But because of his two children, he tried to stay calm. Although cold sweat began to pour over his nape and forehead.

"Honey, are you okay." That's Adhit's voice that knows how his wife is.

"Yes, I-I'm fine." Answer Clara.

Bian looked for the whereabouts of his phone and immediately turned on his flashlight. "Let's calm mom, let Bian and Rafan check back."

"Udah, you're here just accompany mommy. Let daddy check back." Adhit immediately stood up while turning on his cell phone flashlight. Then walk towards the place of the electric fuse.

"Mas Rei...! It's dark." Shouted Alicia from inside the bathroom. Reihan who was outside immediately rushed over to his wife.

"Your door is key?" Reihan banged on the bathroom door.

"Yes, I accidentally got to the key. Because of habit." Alicia answered quickly.

"Let's go slowly to the door. I'm at the door, okay."

Alicia sighed and fumbled through the wall to reach the door. When he touched the door, as fast as lightning, he opened the lock and opened the door.

Tampa said, she immediately scattered in Reihan's comfortable arms and hugged her husband tightly.

"Hey, why?" Reihan rubbed Alicia's head which was still in his arms.

"Fear of darkness." He said, but muffled because his head he buried in Reihan's chest. Despite this, Reihan could still hear her and return Alicia's embrace.

"Oh, don't be afraid. There I am, come here. Aching also stood for a long time." Reihan said with a small laugh and tried to neutralize the atmosphere.

"Mas, where are you going?"

Reihan planned to take the lighting to stop his steps and turn to Alicia.

"You take the lighting. You wait here."

Alicia immediately shook her head. "Here, don't go anywhere." She hugged Reihan possessive. So Reihan had to undo his intentions.

"But it's dark, baby. Just a minute." Reihan tried to persuade Alicia. But the woman did not release her embrace from the husband's body.

"Do not go anywhere please. Even if I don't want to be left for a while." Break it apart and make Reihan can not divide again.

Reihan sighed. "Well, let's take both."

"Mas, here you go. Can you?"

"But he said he was afraid of the dark. That's why I want to take the lighting so it's not too dark like this." Reihan is still trying to persuade Alicia. Because to be honest in a pitch-black room was so unpleasant. Moreover, batrai ponse only a few percent. The electricity will be back tomorrow.

Alicia nodded back. "Fear, but don't go anywhere."

"Huftt, alright. As you wish my little wife."
