The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Speak with Four Eyes

"That's the story, Doc. I don't know what makes Doctor Nizam so angry when the relationship between us can be said to be quite close even though not very close anyway," hanna said after she explained all the events when Zahira was still abroad. Nothing happened that the woman did not tell me.

"I was wrong to enter so without waiting for the owner of the room to let me in, but did Doctor Nizam's attitude have to be that of me? Saying by raising my voice and every sentence spoken like the tip of a very sharp knife that makes my heart hurt?" hanna said still with the rest of her sobs. The tears still soaked her pretty face though not as much as some time ago. "Even if he is angry that my presence has ruined the atmosphere, just reprimand me without having to raise my voice in front of me. I'm not deaf, my hearing still works fine."

Hanna again sobbed when she remembered the incident some time ago. A new lifetime this time he got less treatment from someone especially that person is the man he loves.

Zahira who was sitting next to Hanna gently rubbed the shoulders of her colleagues, trying to calm the woman down so that her crying stopped. "Have ... been ... don't cry anymore! If you cry all the time that your eyes are puffy and everyone will be more suspicious of you."

Not long after, Hanna's crying stopped. The woman's fingers received a piece of tissue that Zahira had given her.

Shaka's beautiful wife noticed Hanna's movements from a distance not too far away. "Lantas, did Doctor Nizam apologize to me for the incident the other day?" Hanna shook her head in response. "So, he didn't see you at all after that?" ask her with glaring eyes.

"No. That's not what I mean." Hanna shook her right hand in the air. He glanced at Zahira who looked surprised by his reply just now. The beautiful twenty-five-year-old woman seemed to be trying hard to gather courage every time she tried to remember the events that made her chest feel claustrophobic. However, as he was preparing himself, Zahira again made a sound.

"Loh, what do you mean, Doctor Hanna? I really don't understand." Both of Zahira's brows furrowed the puzzled mark.

Hanna sighed softly. "Since the incident, I'd rather stay away from Doctor Nizam and not be close to him anymore. There was a time when he seemed to be saying something to me, but I didn't want to think too much until I left him before my tears fell."

Zahira looked mangosteen. "Then, what are you going to do now?" tanyanya while staring fixed brown irises owned by Hanna. The eyeballs were reddened by crying for too long.

Still with trembling lips, Hanna replied, "I'll stay away from Doctor Nizam. Between us, there has never been any relationship. Although it is difficult to remove the love in my heart, but I do not want to be considered a cheap woman who does not have any self-esteem at all."

"I've been trying to get close to Doctor Nizam, giving all my attention to him in the hope that one day he will melt down and be able to love me. However, it turned out that my efforts and hard work did not produce results. It seems he still likes you, Doctor Zahira." When she said the last sentence, Hanna looked at the beautiful face next to her. "So, rather than me getting hurt it's better to back off before it's too late."

"Doctor Zahira, can I talk to you for a second?" nizam asked as Zahira was waiting in front of the elevator door to take the woman to the first floor. Zahira plans to wait for her beloved husband to have lunch together at a restaurant not far from the hospital.

The sudden appearance of Nizam made Zahira jump in shock, unconsciously the woman took a few steps back.

Remember, never get close to Nizam again if you don't want me to exercise my right as your husband to ask Rayyan's father to move him to another ward! Threat-pitched words reverberated in Zahira's ear that very second.

Although only a threat, it does not rule out the possibility of becoming a reality. Doesn't a person who is overwhelmed with jealousy lose his mind to do an act beyond reason? Therefore, for the common good he is better to obey what his beloved husband ordered.

"Sorry, Doctor Nizam, I have a lunch appointment with my husband." The words finally glided on the lips of the ranium of Zahira.

The third child of Rayyan and Arumi was about to enter the elevator when the door was open. However, the burly hand of a man blocked his arm.

"Please, give me a minute to talk to you in one eye. I promise, it won't be long" said Nizam with a clear face and eyes filled with hope.

Reflex, Nizam immediately released his hand on the woman's arm. "Sorry, I don't mean to be presumptuous. It was just a reflex to hold your arm."

The beautiful woman in a white snelli wrapped her sharp gaze. Somewhat a little uneasy over the attitude of Nizam who seemed insolent.

"alright. We had a chat in the hospital lobby coffee shop" Zahira said.

Smile at the corner of Nizam's lips. "Okay, no problem." Then they both got into the elevator.

To avoid anything unwanted, Zahira took the initiative to send a short message to her beloved husband. [Honey, I'll go with Doctor Nizam for a bit. If you've reached the hospital, meet me at the hospital lobby coffee shop.]

May Shaka not be angry knowing I went alone with Doctor Nizam, Zahira's inner heart.

Not long after, Zahira and Nizam finally reached their destination. Mrs Shaka chose a table that was right near the entrance to occasionally see if the husband had arrived at the location or not.

"What do you want to eat?" nizam asked as he read the menu book that the maid had given him.

"I'd like to order a drink because after this I'll have lunch with my husband." Then Zahira looked up and said, "Make me avocado juice, but have a little sugar."

"Remain, do not want to try the food sold in this coffee shop? He said the food here was good, you know."

Zahira shook her head quickly. "Any dish is sold if you do not eat with your husband it still feels not good. So I better order a drink than food is wasted."

Nizam let out a long sigh, it felt useless to force Zahira to prepare food because the woman would be firm with her stance despite being persuaded and lured something, because she was, the beautiful white doctor like milk remained firm with his stance.

"Thus ... Doctor Nizam what is it gonna take to ask me for time to speak with four eyes?" ask Zahira while waiting for the order to arrive.

Nizam rubbed his nape gently. "Ehm .. anu .. I want-"
