THE HUMILIATED SUBSTITUTE HUSBAND
CHAPTER 3: MEETING GRANDPA

Richard dragged his grandfather's confidant out to the front of the gate. Throw his arm and then ruffled his waist. “What are you doing here Delon?” jolted Richard with emotion.

“Sorry, Sir. It's emergencies. The Great Lord had a heart attack. You have to go home soon,” Delon explained to his boss.

Richard let out a rough sigh, his hands resting on the sweat-filled hair. Thinking for a while until finally talking, “Prepare for a flight later tonight. And also prepare a return ticket, before morning arrives!” tell the man.

Smile unraveled from Delon's lips, he nodded excitedly, “Siap, Sir. I'll do it soon,” get excited. At least, there was Richard's willingness to go home and see his grandfather.

“Go there! Just call if you want to see me. Don't come like this!” drive Richard off swinging his legs to drive Delon away.

“Excuse me, Sir!” Delon bowed then immediately sauntered away.

Richard closed the gate, back into the house with a raging feeling. While opening the main door, it flinched as Velyn stood up with her sharp gaze.

“Where to?” ask the woman.

“Eee .. That, there was a prank pick the bell. So, I was angry not to dare to do it again,” he said twitching his bristling neck.

Without saying anything more, Velyn immediately moved to the dining table. The clock shows dinner time.

“Bi, all dishes for Papa not given salt ‘kan?” ask Richard the waiter who was in charge of cooking.

“No, Sir. In accordance with the request,” replied the middle-aged woman who prepared the meal assisted by the man.

“You want what Papa's food?” search for Velyn after sipping a warm tea.

“Anu ... Non. Master's food doesn't use salt just yet. Because he is in healing,” said the waiter again.

“Papa hurts?”

Richard also informed Rendra's current condition. Velyn just let out a long breath. Then immediately gobble up dinner without waiting for the rest of his family.

Right at eight o'clock, Richard's cell phone screamed. It was confirmed to be from his assistant. Because soon the plane will take off. Richard was busy preparing.

“Where are you going?” velyn asked, her forehead wrinkled thinly with a probing look.

“I have a business for a moment. Don't wait for me, go to bed first. I'll be home before morning,” said Richard wearing shoes in a hurry.

“What solution? To the bar again? Didn't I warn you to stop working. If Papa finds out you're out later!” the woman's lizard folded both of her arms around her chest.

Richard just smiled thinly, stood up and slightly ducked, “No. I'm already out. It's important, and I can't explain it right now. I went yes,” said goodbye to the man.

Without waiting for any more protests, Richard moved quickly out of the house. He also walked while lifting his phone. “Iya! Aye! Patience why?!” the man immediately turned off the call.

Outside, Delon was waiting inside a taxi. They immediately went to the airport. The weather that night was quite friendly. Two hours of air travel has taken them to Richard's home country. There was a driver waiting for their arrival. It took only 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the Dirgantara residence.

Richard got out of the car, watching the grandiose buildings before him. The atmosphere is still the same, unchanged since his departure five years ago. Many of the lights have been extinguished, considering that it is now near midnight.

“Please, Sir!” Delon stretched out an arm, inviting Richard to enter.

Unexpectedly, his grandfather had already welcomed Richard's arrival, sitting in his wheelchair with a nurse. The two men of different ages looked at each other.

Richard shook, his eyes glazed over at the pale grandfather, his body even thinner.

“Icad! Granddaughter Grandpa!” alex exclaimed in a trembling voice, stretching out his hands.

The beloved call that Richard so longed for, was finally heard back. The man crouched down then hugged his grandfather tightly. The only family left, besides his wife's family.

“Didn't Grandpa himself ask me to leave?” reply Richard.

“Basic naughty grandson! Say do not want to get married, now it has a wife!” exclaim Grandpa Alex knows the search results of his men.

Richard stretched his arms, “Kek, my time is not much. Let's go to the room. I'll check Grandpa's circumstances,"” pinta Richard ignore the oath as good as the grandfather.

Alex's forehead puckered thinly, “Since when did you become a doctor? Sok-sok’an want to check Grandpa's condition?” the old man's lips.

“Haiss!  Grandpa always underestimated me! Drive to room!” Richard took over the wheelchair and took his grandfather to the room.

With Delon's help, Alex is moved into bed. Richard immediately showed his ability. Massaging the grandfather's nerve points, which occasionally made the old man groan in pain.

“High Grandpa tension huh? So don't be angry!” richard continued his massage.

“How-ever you are, brash grandson!” exclaimed Grandpa threw a pillow at his favorite grandson.

“I only proved to grandfather that I could live on my own two feet. Without frills and treasures gono-gini Dirgantara,” cetus Richard with his arrogance.

“Ah, grandpa's chest feels lighter. Where did you learn from? Five years has changed you, Icad! Forgive Grandpa. Now come back, the company needs you the most. You see for yourself, Grandpa is no longer able,” pinta old man staring expectantly at the only heir in the Aerospace family.

“Emm .. for a while, I'll monitor it from there, Cake. Let Delon help. Because there are still many things that I have to finish in Country A,” said Richard turned to Delon who was only an observer earlier. “What time's the plane?”

“Jam one morning, Mister!” reply Delon.

Richard looked at the clock on his wrist. There's still an hour left before the wife gets home.

“You want to leave grandpa again?” alex stared hard.

"I've explained, there are some things I need to get done, Mother. Be patient, I will bring your granddaughter-in-law here! She is so beautiful!” praise the man with a big smile.

“Ah, okay. Take him, my great-grandson. Just be careful if you lie!"

“Siap, Cake. Now sleep! I'll check the company's report first before I go home. Don't eat carelessly, Cake. Follow the doctor's advice if you want to see your great-grandchild later.” Richard moved on, putting a blanket on his grandfather.

He could see the twinkle of happiness from his grandfather. At least, it will be a spirit in itself. He still has trouble letting his wife down. 'Grandson! Just do it once. It was impossible to instantly grow a seed, his inner self chuckled.

After saying goodbye, Richard immediately went to his study with Delon. Very limited time requires that he bring a laptop and important files that must be checked. With Delon's help, Richard was able to return home in time.

...\=\=\=\=000\=\=\=\=...

“Why don't you go home in the morning?” asked Velyn who was still awake at her desk. The day is already early morning.

“Kok not sleeping?” asked Richard to hide the briefcase and put it down slowly.

Velyn just kept quiet. Glasses perched on his nose, his fingers busy on the keyboard. His long hair curled profusely, emitting a distinct aura in the dim glow of laptop light.

Richard decided to approach. He massaged his wife's two shoulders that looked stiff because of the raining fatigue.

Over time, Velyn felt more relaxed. “There is a problem in the company,” said the woman lethargicly. The burden that he bears alone is so great. Velyn needs a place to confide. Even if they don't provide a solution.

“Try me to see, who knows can help,” bargain Richard to duck staring at the laptop screen lamat-goal, the distance is so close to Velyn. A gust of fresh and cold breath after the trip, now hit the neck of the woman's level.

Decak annoyed Velyn replied to Richard's words, he pushed Richard's head away, “What can you do?!” the woman laughed heartily. “A barmaid where understand big company crisis!” seng sneered.
