The Substitute Man for Andara
Memories of the past

Hearing that makes you blush. The woman felt so misbehaved with the compliment Raiden had just said to her."I love you so much baby" Raiden said again

"I also love Raiden's brother" Andara replied as she raised both corners of her lips

Hearing that made Raiden smile very happily. His hope was never in vain. Because it turns out Andara also has the same feelings as before. Just like Raiden's expectations.

"Are you ready for the road, baby?" Raiden said softly while holding Andara's hand

"Yes, brother, I'm ready" Andara said as she looked at Raiden so deeply

The woman could see there was such great love from both eyes of Raiden. Andara can still see clearly how both eyes look.

"I'm like seeing so much love from both eyes of Raiden" Andara said in her heart as she continued to look at Raiden

Thereafter. Andara and Raiden came out from inside the Apartment while continuing to join hands. Along the corridor was unceasingly Raiden and Andara carving out their smiles. The two of them were unaware that they were both in the center of attention.

"Raiden" Call someone from behind.

hearing her name on the call made Andara and Raiden stop his steps and look back.

"Nayla" They said simultaneously

Yep. The one who called Raiden was Nayla. The woman also lived in the same apartment. Seeing Nayla's whereabouts there made Raiden remember the events of 3 months ago. The incident where Nayla and Mayang act so that makes Raiden look angry immediately.

"Let's go baby" said Raiden while pulling your hand.

The man did not care about Nayla who was walking quickly towards him, But certainly when he saw Nayla's face made Raiden again remember the thing that had made his household with Andara a mess.

"Raiden wait" Call Nayla again.

But again Raiden did not make the call of the woman. Raiden continued to hold Andara's hand while walking towards the elevator. "Raiden wait" Call him again

Andara who heard Nayla's call immediately felt so curious. Why did Nayla call Raiden's name so many times while walking fast. The woman stopped her steps.

Raiden who saw Andara stop also stopped his steps"What's the matter, baby? Why did we stop?" Ask Raiden to Andara

"You better listen to what Nayla says. Who knows, there is something important he wants to say" Andara said, staring at Raiden.

"There won't be anything important he'll say, baby. Never mind, I already know what Nayla is going to say. We better get to that restaurant. Hana and Adrian are definitely waiting for us"

"But brother. Who knows, there is something important you should know. Let's just listen to it for a second"

"All right"

Because of the compulsion of Andara. Finally Raiden wants to listen to what Nayla has to say. Even though it felt so lazy to see Nayla's face.

"But this is because you mean yes dear" Raiden told Andara

"Yes brother. Who knows, there's something important Nayla would say"

Not long after, Nayla arrived in front of them. The woman took a deep breath because she was too tired to chase after Raiden which further accelerated her pace.

"Quick say. What do you want to talk about. I don't have a lot of time, There's still more important things than just taking care of what you're going to say" Raiden said

"No need to beat around. Say quick"

"It's about the person who hit your birth mother" Nayla said quickly

Hearing those words made Raiden frown. The man glanced towards Nayla who was currently staring at her. "What do you mean?" Ask her

"Yes, it's about who hit your real mama Rai. I know, if all this time Aunt Mayang is not your real mama"

"Why do you know?"

"Tante Mayang has said it all. He said you were just his stepson. And he also said that your biological mother is in a coma in the hospital"

"And that surprised me. Turns out what hit your mom was, Tisha. Your own sister" Nayla explained

Hearing that made Raiden look so shocked. What facts did he just know. The one who had hit his biological mother until the coma was his own sister. The brother Raiden never knew.

"What!! Why are you saying it now?"

"Color has been threatening Aunt Mayang will never bless our relationship if I open my mouth"

"I knew this before your farewell. Forgive me Rai" Nayla said with regret

"Of course you still wish I would take you back. After what you've done. Don't dream. I just love Andara"

"But at least I've told you the truth Rai"

"It's done. I gotta go"

Nayla's words managed to make Raiden look so angry. The realized Andara could only stare at Raiden while clasping her hands.

"Don't be angry brother. Remember tonight is my birthday. I don't want you to get that kind of emotion" Andara said, pulling Raiden's hand

"You're right, honey. I can't ruin the moment tonight. Tonight is a very special night"

After that, Raiden and Andara left Nayla who was still silent on the spot. Raiden's words had made Nayla's legs feel so limp.

"I know I was wrong Rai. But isn't there another chance for me?" His words sound so soft.

Raiden and Andara exit the apartment building. The man was driving his car at a moderate speed. At a time like this makes Raiden remember the times they were still early married.

"Dar, do you remember when we first got married. At that time you still often cry because of the departure of Dimas. And I must always take us for a walk while listening to a romantic song" Raiden said, holding Andara's hand

"Yes brother. I still remember clearly how you struggled when I was down because of the departure of Dimas" said Andara while returning Raiden's hand

"Yes Dar. I still remember every time you were sad, I would definitely take you to buy ice cream and we would eat it in the city park"

"Sister Raiden still remembers?"

"Still be dear. All the memories of the struggle I gained your love can still be vividly remembered. Everything was recorded clearly in my memory" He said softly while kissing Andara's hand
