The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Postponing Marriage

A waiter approached one of the tables outside the cafe. The cafe is a place that is usually visited by lovers when they want to spend time together. Carrying the concept of outdoor garden is the right choice for those who want to drive away tired in the middle of a work routine that never ends.

"Gentleman wants to order what?" ask the waiter. The left hand holds the menu book while the other hand holds the pen.

"I want to order avocado coffee creamy and cake red velvet one. Then one bottle of mineral water measures 330 ml" replied a handsome man with a Middle Eastern face.

The waiter hurriedly recorded all the orders meticulously without anyone being missed in the slightest. "Then, what do you want your own message?"

"Bring me another glass of iced matcha latte and matcha cake. Remember, don't be long!" the word beautiful girl emphasized the last sentence.

The waiter nodded, moving from there towards the pantry. He immediately placed orders for both customers.

"Oh yeah, why did you come so late? You told your dad to go with him to meet with the client, right?" ask the top model named Ziva.

The handsome man with a sharp nose let out a long breath. Since he graduated from law school and worked in the office of the papa-owned firm, the man often arrives late because his beloved Rio-papa always invites him to meet important clients who have or want to ask for help from the famous lawyer. As a young lawyer who will continue the struggle of the father to defend clients, he is required to study directly the cases that often occur in the field. Hopefully later the youngest is not surprised anymore whatbil meet a case that has never been met while in college first.

"Really, Honey. Yes ... how else, I'm the only child that Papa expects to continue the struggle that has been built for decades. Kak Indah decided to resign as a lawyer and prefer to become an online novel writer in addition to taking care of her husband and children. Meanwhile, Kak Bagus, decided to live in London and work there after marrying the locals. So, inevitably I have to follow where Papa goes."

Ziva sneered and rolled his eyes. For some reason, every time he heard Shaka say he was the only child who was expected to make the girl nervous and fed up. He felt that his lover was not a real man because he was too obedient as a child.

"Until when you're just silent when you're set up by your parents, Shaka! You are no longer a child! You've been twenty-four years. You should be able to take a stand instead of continuing to obey all the wishes of your Mama and Papa!" ziva exclaimed withstanding the stifled growl of emotion within. The attitude of the lover has never changed one bit. Stupid again, he always loved the man even though Shaka was impressed like a father and mother.

Shaka speechless. Ziva's words have a point. During this time he had always obeyed all the wishes of Rini and Rio including the offer to enter law. Despite that, though, but the youngest of three brothers did not mind spending four years studying the law and cases that often occur in the field because since childhood he had aspired to become a great lawyer like the papas.

So where is the error? He just wanted to be filial to his parents, was that wrong? After all, Rini and Rio did not impose their will if the wishes of the children were contrary to his conscience.

The young lawyer exhaled a long breath. "Darling, yes, don't be angry again! I apologized and promised I wouldn't do it again. So, please, don't discuss the same issue."

"alright. I'm not going to talk about it anymore" Ziva said, ending their little quarrel.

"Good fun, Mister and Miss." After saying the last sentence, the maid hurried away and retreated.

Shaka grabbed the glass that was on the table. Before sipping his favorite coffee while closing his eyes, inhale the delicious aroma of a glass of avocado coffee creamy. Ziva smiled, grabbed a knife and fork, prepared to eat matcha cake.

"The taste of cake and coffee in this cafe has never changed even though it has been established for decades. In fact, I feel more and more delicious today," said Shaka in the middle of his activity sipping a cup of warm coffee that had just been offered by the waiter.

Ziva nodded quickly. "I agree with your opinion. Besides the cozy place, the drinks and food here are all delicious."

"Darling, last night you said there was something to tell me. What the hell is going on?" ask the man while putting a spoonful of red velvet cake into his mouth. Ever since last night was made curious because the girl did not give him any clue at all. The girl only asked to meet at eleven in the afternoon at the cafe subscription.

Beautiful girl who works in the modeling world grabbed a glass and tasted iced matcha latthe brought by a waiter. "On our marriage, Ka. Um ... I want our marriage to be postponed for the next two years" Ziva said without sin.

The voice of a man coughing accompanied by a speech from the model. The man was quite surprised at what he had just heard. The man's hand hurriedly unscrewed the small-sized bottle of mineral water and upheld it to half.

After feeling better, Shaka said, "Pending the wedding? Wh why? Not all preparations have been prepared carefully. There are only fourteen days left, you and I are officially married, becoming a couple."

"Yes, I know. However, I think our marriage is too hasty, Ka. I still want to be a famous model who can go international." Ziva glanced at Shaka. "You know, my ideals since childhood became a model that is not only famous in the country but also abroad. The opportunity came to me and I didn't want to waste it. So, I'm asking for our marriage to be postponed for the next two or three years."

"Crazy, you!" snapped Shaka while breaking the table. "Our wedding is a matter of days but you're asking to be postponed. Mama and Aunty Rumi have prepared everything for our wedding, Va. Buildings, catering and even invitations have been spread where it can be delayed suddenly."

Instead of feeling guilty, Ziva put on a sinless flat face. "That's none of your business. After all, from the beginning the forcing wanted to get married, you're not me." The beautiful girl folded her hands in front of her chest while saying cynically to her future husband.
