The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend

The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Reunited After Six Years


"Mother, where are we going anyway? Tumben once Mother asked me and Brother Zahira to wear neat clothes like this," said the youngest Shakeela when Rayyan's four-wheeled vehicle drove quietly on the streets of the capital.


The youngest of the four siblings seems confused because Arumi suddenly asks her and her older sister to dress neatly without telling them where they are going. The mother only advised to wear neat and polite clothes and dress as natural as possible so as not to impress menor.


Rayyan who was sitting behind the wheel glanced at the rear seat through the rear view mirror in front. Smiling faintly as he said, "Later too you will know where we are going. Now you better sit quietly in the back and don't disturb Dad's concentration, okay?"


Instead of getting a satisfactory answer, Shakeela was even more curious. Spin the eyeball lazy because it does not get what you want.


A pair of squeaky narrow eyes stared intently at the father with both hands folded in front of his chest. Then, a consciousness hit the girl's head.


Shakeela moved her body forward and said, "Don't tell me that you want to sell me and Brother Zahira to the striped men in order to pay off the debt in the bank."


Suddenly the words made Rayyan step on the brake pedal suddenly to make the body of everyone in the car forward. Luckily, from the back there was no vehicle so there was no traffic accident.


"Sheila Zanitha! If you have a filtered mouth first dong, Dek, do not origin sound!" spray Zahira while wiping his forehead that accidentally hit the steering chair.


Unable to be rebuked by her sister, Shakeela exclaimed, "Yee .. Don't get angry that too! I'm just saying what's in my head!"


Zahira's eyeballs glared as she unsheathed a sharp look. Wanting to shout to his youngest sister, but he paled when he saw the look on his beloved father's face turned sour. Finally he just turned his face to the side while rubbing his forehead that had hit.


Arumi was quite surprised to hear the words of her youngest child. Shakeela is different from her three twin sisters. The girl has a spoiled, barbaric nature and often often flaunted when saying but she is a submissive child and never once defied the words of her parents.


"Mas, are you okay?" ask Arumi to her husband. The woman's heart beat irregularly like a band drum parade that would not stop. However, Rayyan bergeming did not respond at all to his words.


Arumi twisted her body until 180° then stared intently at Shakeela. "Sha, don't say it, son. How could we possibly do such a thing to you. You and Zahira are the fruit of the love of Father and Mother. So, don't ever think we're going to sell you to pay the bank's debt. Understood!" said the middle-aged woman. Although annoyed but the tone of the woman's speech sounded soft.


Aware of his mistake, Shakeela silenced for a moment. Dare not to say anything. The head lowered and both hands gripped each other.


"Destroy your negative thoughts, Sha because I don't like to hear them. Even if we were poor, the hospital your late grandmother set up went bankrupt, Dad would never exchange you for wealth. Catch that!" Rayyan said in a cold tone of voice.


Arumi who was sitting next to Rayyan just gently rubbed the shoulders of her beloved husband, hoping that the man's emotions did not explode due to being shocked by the words of their youngest child.

Rini invites her beloved husband and Shaka to dinner at a restaurant that they have often been with the late in-laws and the family of the friend. A very expensive and luxurious restaurant. All who come wear official clothes such as suits, dresses or evening dresses.


Choose a table that is in an outdoor location so that visitors can see the beauty of the moon and sky directly.


Rio replied softly, "Okay, Papa doesn't know either. However, from the gelagatnya it seems there will be special guests until your mother willingly ignored the dishes cooked earlier this afternoon. Gudeg ala Yu Djum complete with crackle and fried chicken is your favorite menu but he is willing to share it with the workers at home and choose to eat here, shows that this guest is really special to us, Ka."


Shaka looked to be muttering. Rio's speech has a point as well. The mama loves food made from jackfruit meat is still raw so if you do not want to meet an important guest then the middle-aged woman who might just mengikhlaskan favorite food enjoyed by people others.


Sighs long. "Whoever the guest is, I must be kind to them."


Rio nodded. "Rubber. We must turn into cute and obedient men. Don't make your mama turn into a female!" whispered the lawyer who followed a light screech sourced from his youngest child.


They had already arrived at the table that Rini had ordered earlier. A rectangular table with seven seats is available in front of it.


"This is our restaurant's menu book, Mr and Mrs. You can choose it first. If you have, you can call me again" said one of the waiters in the uniform of the restaurant.


Rini received three menu books from the servant's hand. "Good, Mas. Thank you." Thank you."


Just now Rini, Rio and Shaka were about to open the food menu book from the back and a couple of husband and wife followed by two beautiful girls stepped closer to their table.


"Hello everyone, good night. Sorry, we arrived late" said a middle-aged woman with a sweet smile on her face.


Rini got up from the chair, then stepped forward to kiss Arumi's right and left cheeks. "Nope, Rumi! We just arrived."


Sumringah face when Netra Rini saw the figure of a beautiful girl standing gracefully was gasping for a while. "Zahira, how are you, honey? Long time no see." Without wasting any time the woman hugged the body of her beloved niece gently. "Tante kangen with you." Fingers gently rubbed Zahira's back.


Zahira was still frozen in place as her petite body was tightly hugged by Rini. How not, this is the first time he met again with Rini after six years without seeing. Since deciding to study in Sakura country, he never returned to Indonesia. Prefer to stay there rather than having to meet with friends and men who like him since sitting on the bench of Junior High School.


During the holiday season, Arumi and Rayyan come to visit there. In addition to visiting the favorite child, the couple wanted to vacation while reminiscing when they were newlyweds. A country that is the origin of the creation of Triplet in the womb of the beautiful doctor.


When Zahira froze on the spot, not expecting to be reunited with the mother's best friend so soon, Shaka did the same. He was silent when he heard the name of his best friend called by his beloved mother.
