The Substitute's Love
Strange Feelings

''Alright Mas, ''' nodding Ningrum in the end.

But he was still silent in his place.

Confused what he should do now.

''Sit here.'' Yudha pointed to a chair beside her.

Without saying any more Ningrum directly obeyed what Yudha ordered. Sit down, then keep the dirty laundry basket next to him.

Ningrum lowered his gaze he was still confused as to what to do. Should he watch Yudha eating?

Don't ask again his heart is currently pounding quite fast. Until he was afraid that Yudha would hear him.

Meanwhile Yudha glanced at him at a glance while smiling a little at Ningrum's behavior.

The increasingly quiet situation that is heard is only the sound of the sound of spoons and plates alone, as if knowing the increasingly awkward situation.

A few moments later.

Yudha finished her meal. This time he finished all his lunch

Ningrum immediately moved from his seat to clean up and help Yudha improve.

Suddenly, their hands touched. Both were shocked.

But Ningrum immediately broke the touch of that hand. Either his heart gets more riled up, as well as Yudha.

He also did not understand why his heart was suddenly racing.

''M-sorry Mas.'' Said Ningrum feeling awkward

''You are innocent, why keep apologizing?'' yudha.

''Emmp-'' Ningrum rubbed his nape in embarrassment.

Seeing the behavior of the woman before him, Yudha could only shake her head, while curling her sweet smile.

''I-I'm sorry Mas, would like to bring this down.'' said Ningrum still misbehaving as he quickly passed from before Yudha.

Yudha could only be silent staring at Ningrum's departure, until it disappeared behind the door.

Wanted to say but somehow his tongue felt like a mute.

Finally Yudha just sighed deeply while scratching her head that did not itch.

What kind of situation is this? Her thought.

While Ningrum was still busy arranging his heart. His heart is still tight.

''What's wrong with me?'' his murmuring was slow with the position still leaning on the door of Yudha's room. While feeling his heartbeat that somehow suddenly thumped.

Then he quickly walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

Suddenly Ningrum's body staggered almost to a fall, he didn't realize he was bumping into someone because his gaze was always down.

Ningrum did not realize that there was a man walking in the opposite direction to him.

It was fortunate that the burly hand immediately supported his body. For a moment, their views clashed with a fairly close distance.

A minute and two Ningrum's eyes stared fixedly at the eyes of the man who was hugging her waist. Somehow it was like there was something strange, a taste he could not describe.

''You're okay Miss?'' ask the man suddenly.

He asked as Ningrum rounded his eyes, startled. And then realized his position was very close to the man who was not his mahrom. Immediately, Ningrum quickly broke his grip on the man he did not know.

''N-it's okay Sir, sorry I was less careful!'' he answered quickly, while picking up the clothes scattered into the basket that had been scattered, but still lucky tray former breakfast Yudha that he held not to fall.

Immediately Ningrum rushed away from the man's face without turning his head again.

The man did not say anything more, at first glance seemed to sing a slanted smile staring at the departure of Ningrum.

Steering immediately went up the stairs, to Yudha's room.

''It's okay Bik, I accidentally hit a man I just saw. Does that person live here too Bik?'' asked Ningrum while explaining.

''Oh, that must be Mr. Dean, Ning. He doesn't live here he's Mr. Yudha's confidant. All this time he took care of all the work of Mr. Yudha in the office.'' Bright Bik Asih at length.

Ningrum nodded just hearing Bik Asih's words.

''Oh yes Ning, how have you tried your concoction oil on Mr Yudha?'' ask again.

Ningrum patted his forehead, feeling reminded by Bik Asih. He had forgotten because he had somehow misbehaved because of Yudha.

''Oh, my gosh, I forgot Bik!!'' pekik Ningrum then smiled wryly.

Bik Asih just shook his head while smiling.

How could he forget that important thing?

Maybe because the atmosphere in Yudha's room somehow suddenly became tense and awkward. That's why he could forget something so important.

But that's okay, there's still tomorrow, right?

''Hmm yes already Bik, I went to the laundry room first huh. Wipe the clothes Mas Yudha.'' said Ningrum.

''Take lunch first Ning, only after that work on it.'' bargain Bik Asih.

''It's okay Bik, then just eat it if it's done washing this. The laundry is just a little bit. So it won't take much time Ningrum explained.

Ningrum immediately went to leave the Asih bik who was still staring at the end of the dining table in the kitchen, towards the laundry room.

''What woman was the wife of Siri given by Eliana?'' Ask Dean.

''Yes, why?'' ask Yudha back.

''It's all right. Below we had passed, even holding each other with a close distance. Really interesting start of the meeting isn't it?'' chuckle Dean with his sneaky grin.

The words disturbed Yudha's heart until she stared intently at him.

Again, Dean chuckled amusedly at the attitude of his boss and best friend.

''OH, Bro. Don't tell me you like that woman?'' guess Dean.

But then his kekehanya stopped when he saw the mimic Yudha who was still silent seriously.

What a funny thing to try.. Are they readers..?🤭🤭🤭

''I just respect him. Because she is a fine woman, Yudha said still flat while turning her face away from Dean.

Dean was curious about the full story. For he only heard from Yudha that he would remarry because of the commandment of his wife Eliana.

At the time, he was in Switzerland visiting business partner Yudha.

''Before marrying her I investigated her first.'' Yudha said again.

''Basic you!!'' Dean was not surprised by the behavior of his best friend.

Yudha told Dean everything. Dean listened to him seriously.

''Then what about the girl you've been looking for?'' dean asked as he remembered his best friend, looking for the girl of his childhood that Yudha could not find.

''So far, I am still looking for him. I just want to see him, is he now living happily or suffering?'' yudha.

Yudha's eyes glared far back reminiscing about the time with the little girl. Bring him to remember the memories of the past when he was young.
