The Substitute's Love
The Saved Word of Love

The next day, Yudha wanted to take Ningrum and Dean away with Asep and his wife.

''Where are we going,?'' ask Ningrum astonished.

He saw the driver's pack, Mang Asep and Minah's bik who was ready in the pick up car.

Dean was also ready in Yudha's car. This time Dean's gonna drive.

''We will share a little sustenance with the street children.'' replied Yudha briefly.

''Is it really Mas?'' a sweet smile broke on Ningrum's lips.

Yudha held next to Ningrum's cheek with a meaningful look as she flashed a warm smile.

But Yudha's attitude like that even made Ningrum ashamed, because it must have been seen by the people in front of him.

Who else if not Dean, Mang Asep, Bik Minah, Mr. security guard and Mr. driver. Shaming only, Ningrum lowered his gaze.

While those who watch just throw a smile at each other's behavior.

Dean honks his car impatiently. Not because of spite, instead he was happy to see his best friend was happy.

Dean was just upset, why the sweet scene had to be witnessed by him. Is Yudha deliberately if she is still single.

''Showers teruuss...!'' rfor Dean who's behind the wheel.

''Come on Ning, it seems like someone is already impatiently waiting for us.'' Yudha quipped.

They also got into the car. Yudha opened the rear car door for Ningrum.

''You go in first, '' Yudha said.

''But it's you.'' said Ningrum slightly objected.

''It doesn't matter if I can, '' Yudha replied quickly.

Ningrum complied without protesting any more, the last Yudha entered despite a bit of difficulty. Ningrum also did not sit still, he helped Yudha sit in the car seat.

Cars drove through the city crowd. Arriving at the red light they pulled over for a moment when he saw many street children.

Without any more orders Bik Minah and Mang Asep helped Pak driver immediately distributed the parcels to them.

A smile emanated in the eyes of the children he received.

''Thank you!'' say the kids in unison. Then waved his hand, as Yudha's car drove back.

For Ningrum this was a novelty, he could feel that giving something to children like those who were less fortunate was a happiness that could not be measured by material.

The longer she knew Yudha the more surprised she was with her personality which to Ningrum was amazing.

In the depths of his heart he fell in love with Yudha. But as usual, he did not dare to say. Therefore as strong as possible Ningrum immerse deeply the feeling of love.

Although compared to the reality now, Yudha did not hesitate to treat her sweetly until she dared to embrace her body.

Yes, we can say that his relationship with Yudha is progressing. Not only the relationship that there is progress but Yudha's recovery is progressing rapidly.

And that was what Ningrum expected, Yudha's recovery.

He did not want anything grandiose from Yudha. Enough to make him able to walk again as before has made him happy.

It signifies that as long as he is his wife there is something useful for Judah.

His heart will be at peace after his covenant period with Eliana is over, at least he can release Yudha sincerely.

Even though Yudha wanted him to stay. But it feels like Ningrum will never be able to, as well as Eliana. It is impossible for them to share a husband.

Again Ningrum got embarrassed because he was caught stealing a look at Yudha's face.

A hard deheman Yudha throws out the reverie of Ningrum.

''E-em, ti-nothing Mas, '' Ningrum replied nervously.

Yudha just smiled in response to Ningrum's reply. Because his heart was the same as Ningrum's.

Had Ningrum also known that Yudha was his childhood friend, would Ningrum feel the same as him or vice versa? Yudha's thoughts were mixed.

For now he would not tell Ningrum just yet. Because Yudha is not ready if Ningrum's feelings are not the same as his.

After the parcels were finished, Yudha invited everyone to eat at the restaurant.

Yudha's car pulled over at a restaurant that was quite luxurious. They entered in a friendly welcome by a Waitress who opened the door.

''Welcome sir, have you booked in advance?'' ask waitress kindly.

''answered Yudha.

''On behalf of Yudha Pratama,'' Dean replied interrupting.

Yes, Dean was on the sidelines distributing the parcel he was reserving in the restaurant, of course, on Yudha's orders.

The waiter understood, then took them to a dining table that had been ordered earlier.

''Please sir, please wait a moment'' said the servant.

Yudha just nodded at him, letting the servant go.

''Let's all sit down, '' Yudha said to everyone.

As Ningrum was about to shift the chair for Yudha, the man quickly refused with a gesture of his face.

''Please sit Ning, '' Yudha said quickly.

Yudha saw Ningrum's forehead shriveling in confusion, as she shifted the chair for Ningrum to sit on.

Yudha only responded with a smile.

''Thank you, '' said Ningrum finally a little smile but kept a myriad of questions in his mind over Yudha's sweet attitude lately.

''What's wrong with him? Why has her attitude been so sweet lately. Did he not think that his attitude like that made my heart mess up? Akh, what are you thinking Ningrum!!'' rto Ningrum in his heart.

Unable to Ningrum denied, the longer the heartbeat gets faster if you get sweet treatment from Yudha these past few days.

While Yudha just sat beside Ningrum casually, not knowing if the woman beside him was in his heart was wondering because of his actions.

''Excuse me Mr and Madam, what message would you like?" greet a waitress with a friendly smile.

''You order the food you like, do not hesitate, '' Yudha told the people who work in his house.

''I-iya Mr.'' Say them in unison.

At first they were hesitant and worried when their employer brought them to eat one table and did not distinguish about what they wanted to order. Because this is the first time they have experienced it.

''If not with Mrs Ningrum where can we eat like this sir?'' whisper Bik Minah to her husband.

''Yes, then be grateful. We pray for their marriage to last Buk, Mr. Pity Mr. Yudha.'' Answer Mang Asep.

''Aamiin. Same mother so sir, may their long soul mate yes.'' Whisper Bik Minah on her husband.

Soon their order came, before the meal Yudha led the prayer first.

Without Yudha realizing there are two pairs of eyes that look at him with a meaning that is different from each pair of eyes.
