The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Wise Guidance

Shaka did not think through with Zahira's words earlier. In this case actually Zahira is not wrong, but also not right, however Zahira is his wife, to hell with the term surrogate wife. In Shaka's eyes, Zahira was his wife and shouldn't have acted like that to him. Zahira should respect and respect Shaka's decision, not even be defiant.

Various questions also arise in Shaka's mind, whether Zahira was exposed to Nizam's incitement? Or did Zahira secretly approach Nizam or vice versa? Is not the love in one's heart can grow if one is used to meeting and what if his wife is actually in love with Nizam? However they meet every day, compared to him, various possibilities are thought by Shaka.

A million possibilities continue to dance beautifully in Shaka's mind, the man being overthing. He was afraid that if Nizam and Zahira continued to be together, the wife would like Nizam and leave him. The youngest of the three brothers did not want to be left by Zahira. He could have lost Ziva or all of his possessions in the world, but to lose Zahira a second time, it seemed that the lawyer could not.

Shaka immediately shook his head, the man chased away his negative thoughts all the way. "Zahira is my wife, she's mine. Only Shaka Abimana's. Anyone including Nizam can't take Zahira from me!" The man clenched his hands then grabbed his hair hard. He continues to do that to get rid of the bad assumptions that keep coming.

“Kak?” said Shakeela patted Shaka's shoulder slowly making Zahira's husband aghast. “Kak why? From earlier I called, but kok did not say,” he said.

“Eh? Sorry, Sha, what's up?” ask Shaka.

Shakeela snorted and twisted the lazy eyeball. He still could not forget what happened some time ago. So, do not be surprised if the attitude of the girl seems unfriendly. “I want to ask, Brother want to eat or drink? Let me ask Ms. Tina to get ready, I told you they'd be home a little longer. So while waiting better Brother can drink or eat first,” he explained at length.

“Ga no, ngerepotin you Sha,” said Shaka sincerely.

“Ck! It's usually also nerepotin," Shakeela chirped in the liver. "Well, what do you want?” shakeela asked impatiently.

Shaka let out a rough breath. "Copi it, Sha. If you eat, Brother is full,” reject it smooth. In fact, the worms in the stomach had been thrashing since, but he had no appetite due to over-thinking his problem with Zahira.

"Yes, I stayed in the kitchen for a while," Shakeela replied briefly and hurriedly left the living room.

After a while Shakeela returned to bring a cup of coffee for Shaka.

"Thank you very much, Sha," said Shaka, with a nod to Shakeela's head. Then, the man took a slow sip of the coffee brought by his sister-in-law.

While waiting for her two in-laws, Shaka plays her phone. Shortly after, a handsome lawyer's best friend and in-law arrived home.

As a good son-in-law, Shaka immediately welcomed the two.

"Assalamu a'laikum, Father, Mother," Shaka said, kissing the back of their hands.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Have you been waiting for a long time?" ask Arumi to Shaka.

"No, Bun" replied Shaka.

Rayyan who was standing next to Arumi said, "It's a risk for him to see us, Bun. No need to feel guilty."

Arumi glanced to the side. "Mas, don't talk that way to our daughter-in-law." Then, he looked back at Shaka. "Sit down, Shaka boy, let's have a nice chat."

"Tumben once a night come here. What was? Then, where's Zahira, why don't you come?" arumi asked after they all sat on the sofa.

"Rara's in the apartment. I deliberately came here because there is something to talk about with Father and Mother,” said Shaka.

Arumi squinted her eyes, staring in full search at the son-in-law. “What's up, son. You guys fighting again?" tanyakanya.

Instead of answering the questions of her two in-laws, Shaka was silent in a thousand languages.

“We should clean up first, Bun, so it's better to talk. How's it?" rayyan's advice to his wife.

Shaka nodded his head. "No problem. Daddy and Mommy can go to the room first let me wait here."

Arumi and Rayyan leave Shaka for their room. The couple took a shower and changed clothes. After that, they went back to Shaka.

“Honey, what do you think is up, yes, Shaka came here night-night?” arumi asked her husband.

“I don't know either, Babe. But I feel anyway, because of the plan to go to Cianjur," said Rayyan staring at the wife.

“Indeed why?” ask Arumi. Backed by Rayyan's shoulder. “Yes already, we are down, pity Shaka has been waiting for a long time,” said Arumi reciprocated nod by Rayyan.

They both approached Shaka. Arumi tells Shakeela to prepare two glasses of warm tea and again offers Shaka a drink, but Shaka refuses. The woman also told Shakeela to go to her room so as not to listen to their conversation.

“What's up, Son?” ask Arumi.

“You are like anyone,” said Arumi.

“Sorry, Dad, Mother. About Zahira want to go with Doctor Nizam is it irrevocable? If I can be honest, actually I do not agree if Rara went to Cianjur,” said Shaka.

Rayyan and Arumi looked at each other, then the handsome, narrow-eyed doctor said, “Why not agree? My daughter went there not only with Doctor Nizam, but with several other doctors who were indeed needed there.”

“Ya .. I do not agree that Zahira left and neglected her duties and responsibilities as a wife. Moreover, his departure to Cianjur with Doctor Nizam," said Shaka lirih.

Rayyan and Arumi looked at each other and then the mother of four smiled but she pretended not to understand what was happening to her daughter-in-law. “Loh, why would Zahira come? After all, he went to Cianjur in a job assignment not for a walk. After all, Zahira and Doctor Nizam are just co-workers with no special relationship."

"However, I don't agree, Mother." Shaka paused his sentence. "Aren't there any other doctors who can replace Zahira?” ask the man.

"Nothing" Rayyan quickly. "If you don't like Doctor Nizam, you shouldn't mix business with your household with Zahira."

"There are times when you have to behave like a husband who takes care of his wife, but there are times when you should be able to sort out and choose which is best for you. It is up to you to be offended or not to say what I say, but this decision cannot be reversed. We have to be professional as doctors, in addition to the image of the hospital, the main thing is a sense of humanity,” continued Rayyan.

Shaka was silent for a while, digesting every sentence spoken by his father-in-law. As a result of his dislike of Nizam, he became dark in the eyes and had a big fight with his wife.

The young lawyer smiled, he then said, “I understand Dad. I'm sorry that I was selfish and forced my own will. Dan ... thank you for explaining to me.”

Arumi smiled sweetly. “It should have been parents so to her child,” said the woman. “Mother has an idea that might help you, son."

“What Bun?” ask Shaka.

“Why don't you volunteer too? Helping the victims of the disaster there, you can also be with Zahira,” said Arumi.

“That's a great idea. Why don't you come with.” Rayyan chimed in on the words of the wife.

“This .. I doubt Father, Mother. The first reason was because Zahira and I had a fight. Second, I have a few trials this week. And what I'm most worried about is actually because there has just been a disaster, it does not rule out the possibility that there will be further disasters. I'm afraid that if Zahira goes there, no one can take care of him,” Shaka said expressing his concern to Arumi and Rayyan.

“You take it easy, there are many people who can take care of Zahira. Besides, I wouldn't have let my daughter go to any harm" Rayyan said.

Arumi smiled faintly hearing Rayyan's words. The adoration of his heart never allowed the Eve in this family to suffer, the man always took care and protected so that no one would hurt.

“Oh, yes, Nak Shaka, Mother saranin you and Zahira do not get used to fighting to solve the problem properly. In a household quarrel is natural, but one must succumb. Don't be selfish to be selfish, hard to reply hard, you won't get a way out!" said Arumi softly.

“Good, Mother, I get it. Then I'll go home first. Assalamu a'laikum" said Shaka. The man kissed both hands

“Wa'alaikum greetings. Be careful on the road" Rayyan said. Although he was still a bit upset about Shaka's attitude, but the man did not want anything bad to happen to the son-in-law. After all, Shaka is the son of her best friend, Rio.

Rayyan and Arumi deliver their daughter-in-law to the doorstep. Shaka waved his hand and went towards his apartment.

The couple looked at each other, then Arumi smiled at Shaka's behavior. "Babe, it looks like you have to find a name for our first grandchild" she said.

Rayyan took a quick glance, then said, "Hopefully the love in your favorite daughter-in-law's heart grows and she can love Rara sincerely."

Arumi hugged the husband's arm. The woman's head was tendered on the chest of Rayyan's field. "I am sure that sooner or later the seed of love in the heart of your best friend's child will grow and bloom like a flower in bloom. I am also very sure that Shaka will become very possessive and hopeful of Zahira, just like you were to me. Angry is not clear just because I wear clothes a bit tight when practicing yoga then at the same time came the service room to bring food." The woman chuckled softly when she recalled the incident when they attended a seminar in Bali decades ago.

Rayyan touched the tip of his wife's chin and stared fixedly at Arumi's brown iris. "That's all I do because I don't want your body to be enjoyed by other men. Understood?"

The doctor put his hands around Rayyan's neck. "I get it, Honey. Thank you for loving me in your own way. I love you."

"Love you too, Babe." Rayyan gives a kiss full of love on Arumi's ranum lips.
