THE BRIDE'S REPLACEMENT FOR MY BROTHER
37. Almira is gone

Alfindra brought his wife to taste the dishes available. Ignoring Silvia's wry gaze from a distance, he called for Madel to come closer to accompany Almira for a while.

"Remember not to go anywhere by yourself," Alfindra's pinta was taken by Almira.

Alfindra approached Silvia, "can we talk, Ma?" ask slowly so that others do not listen if the relationship between mother and child is not okay.

Dominic lets his son talk to his wife while he chats over a drink with a business friend.

"Don't look at me like that, Alfin. I am your mother, the mother who gave birth to you." Silvia was cross-crossed, unable to accept the coldness of her son.

"Just because of that, I want to talk. Ma, I'm an adult now! Although our relationship seems impromptu, even hide from you. But I really did marry her, Ma. Our blessing, get rid of your mama's hatred for Almira. Open your heart, accept him well" beg Alfindra.

Silvia smiled cynically, "you think it's easy?"

"Easy, my mom gave me enough blessing. The rest let me and Almira live our married lives."

"Are you really out of your mind, Alfin. Just a few months ago you last brought Salma home. Now then? Do you think you can easily trust you? You might just use him to stay away from Salma."

"Mama's wrong" elak Alfindra.

"Mom knows what's best for you! Leave the woman, Fin."

"Almira is my wife, Ma. I want to speak carefully at his request!"

Alfindra left, but before she could get away she whispered to Silvia.

"I'll go home when your heart is open to receive Almira!"

After Alfindra left, Silvia was exasperated and contacted someone to take care of Alfindra's mistress also paying people to remove her cctv traces.

Almira felt full, even though he had just tasted a few banquet menus.

Alfindra was stopped by Dominic, they chatted in one corner of the quiet ballroom.

"Alfin, I'm sorry about your mom."

"Hm, papa knows for himself that mama was selfish long ago. I already have nothing to do with Salma, so---" Alfindra sighed looking at her papa.

"Papa could marry Salma to Bang Zion. If you still insist that the woman be his daughter-in-law," continued Alfindra again.

"What about you, do you love that girl? You really married her?" ask Dominic.

Alfindra kept quiet, "i'm married to Almira." However, Alfindra still did not answer whether he loved Almira or not.

While they were chatting, Almira felt like going to the toilet.

Madel wanted to drive him but Almira refused. He asked where the toilet was. Unknowingly, someone followed him, the man in black wearing glasses and a one-man mask.

Rayyan who had been watching Almira from a distance immediately followed where Almira went, Almira was not within reach of Alfindra.

Out of the toilet, someone smothered him with a handkerchief. Rayyan who saw it was surprised, he then approached the man and fought him.

"Ck! Sia lan, how dare the same woman," decih Rayyan.

Almira fainted, after successfully kicking the stomach of the gurgler Rayyan took Almira away from there.

"Mir, wake up Mir!" call Rayyan and carry her. He asked a hotel employee to help him.

This is where Almira is now, in one of the hotel rooms with a calm white feel. Rayyan had called the nearest Doctor even though it took a long time for her to find a Bandung area doctor who could come check into the hotel.

While on the other hand, Alfindra got a report from Madel that Almira went to the toilet never to return. The man panicked, even he rushed to check one by one the nearest toilet.

"Madel, ask for security to check the cctv," he said without objection. While he was trying to find the whereabouts of Silvia who suddenly invites Dominic away from the show.

"Shittt.." alfindra. Suddenly the dizziness in his head was getting worse.

Madel went back to see Alfindra, he saw his Master was dazed and almost fell.

"Is Mister drunk?" madel asked even though she herself did not see Alfindra touch the wine with a glass.

"Where's Almira? Have you met?" cerca Alfindra did not answer Madel's question.

"Cctv is in repair, sir! But I promise I'll find Miss Almira soon."

Alfindra's hands clenched tightly, knowing that perhaps the mastermind behind this was indeed her mother.

Peter was quite surprised, feeling something strange when he got a report of his hotel cctv in repair. As he remembered, he had already made sure everything was in a normal state. Then what he did was ask for clarity to his employees and then met Alfindra.

"What about the cctv outside the ballroom?" ask Alfindra.

Peter remembers something and takes Alfin and Madel to his secret room.

"I should have another tape, 'cause I put a secret cctv outside. If this is really someone, maybe that person hates you enough? Or hate your wife?" thought Peter.

"I know this is all my mother's," lamented Alfindra.

"You're patient, you know my parents didn't accept my wife. Over time they will realize that the benchmark of happiness is not from material, especially when my wife was pregnant, more patient with parents!" peter's Advice. His parents with Alfindra's parents are good friends, besides they are also business partners outside the city.

Deg. Alfindra forgot something, a month after the relationship, apparently he did not see Almira coming to the moon.

"Where are you almira?" inner Alfindra.

He stared at the computer screen connected to the cctv.

His eyes squinted when he saw someone carrying a woman frantically walking away from the Ballroom.

"Can you Zoom Peter?" ask Alfindra.

Peter had tried, unfortunately the man's face was not clear.

"You're calm, he'll meet. Or should we call the police?"

Alfindra was sure this was his mother, she shook her head in response.

"I'll try to solve it myself, hopefully Almira will be fine."

"Bo doh!" maki Silvia is on the phone after she gets word from her man that a man saved Almira. Uncompleted, Alfindra arrives with Madel to meet Dominic.

"Ck! ja lang troublesome," decih Silvia.

He approached Dominic and pretended not to know what was going on.

"Why accuse me? Is your mama that cruel, Fin? Mama didn't accept her as your wife, but that doesn't mean you have to make her go" Silvia said.

"Continue according to mama? someone else?"

Madel is silent, he feels guilty for having let Almira into the toilet on her own.

"You know, Fin. In the business world there are times when a woman is framed when alone? Don't you ever think someone might want your woman?" syndical Silvia.

"Alright, Ma. Don't make Alfin dizzy. Papa will help you as much as you can," Dominic said in Alfindra's call. Return to the hotel with a feeling of unease. Can only hope Almira comes home first even if it's impossible.
