The Substitute's Love
Breakfasted

Ningrum was shocked to hear and saw the figure of the owner of the voice.

I don't know when Eliana was standing there.

It seems that Eliana accidentally greeted Ningrum in front of the porch of the house. With his hands crossed his chest and stared intently full of annoyance at Ningrum.

While Ningrum again lowered his gaze still speechless. Don't know what to say.

''Follow me now!!'' The hardness of his rule was Ningrum.

Without asking much more, he immediately followed Eliana's orders.

It turned out that Eliana took Ningrum to a small room designated for ART in the house.

''How long have you been coming home? Remember Ningrum, you owe me. Your family is not your priority anymore.'' Eliana started the conversation.

While Ningrum was still listening to what Eliana was going to tell him.

''I married you to my own husband that is not to make you a Great Mistress huh!!''

''Today I will give you some important points that you must do!!''

''Your job is to take care of my sick husband, as long as I go abroad. Remember Ningrum only takes care of his needs. Not fulfilling your rights as a wife. After I return home your marriage with my husband will be over, keep that in mind!!'' Eliana said with great emphasis.

Ningrum reflexively looked up as his head looked at Eliana in disbelief. Is it that easy to think of a marriage?

Marriage is not a game. Marriage is a sacred and sacred promise before God. Although siri's wedding. But still valid before God.

And fulfilling rights and duties in a marriage is a great sin on God. Does Eliana not know all this? Think Ningrum.

She should have understood the meaning of a marriage before telling another woman to be her honeymoon.

''Why ''Why? you mind.?'' Eliana asked astonished with Ningrum's gaze on her.

''Really you don't really know what are the rights and obligations in the Madam's marriage?'' Ningrum asked back.

''The wedding was the longest and longest service. Perfecting religion. Whatever we do every day will be judged to be a reward in marriage.

The promise made during the jab is a promise to Allah. Because whatever we do after marriage is worth worship and will get a reward.

And if we neglect our rights and duties as husband or wife in marriage. It would be a great sin.'' Ningrum.

''Hey!! don't be so smart about me!!'' sarkas Eliana was annoyed at Ningrum's words.

''Just do your duty, according to what I have determined!! Don't protest too much!!'' sergeant again.

Finally Ningrum just resigned. Facing Eliana should be silent. Free if denied, there is only his anger that will erupt.

After she finished telling me what Ningrum should do if Eliana doesn't. Eliana immediately left Ningrum.

With a long sigh Ningrum lamented his fate. Why can it be like this.

But in a hurry he was tepis. Obviously, all of this is the way of Allah. He shouldn't have complained.

Ningrum was sure that all of this would be beautiful in time. All he could do right now was to just step out and follow the course of His destiny.

As Allah SWT said in the Quran Surah Al-Baqarah verse 286 which reads: ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇

“La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha.”

Which means, “Allah does not burden a person but according to his ability.”

''May Allah grant me far-reaching patience. Aamin.'' Ningrum lirih.

Next day.

After Eliana's departure to L. A. The days of Ningrum will be busy with taking care of Yudha.

He remembers everything Eliana said. Things that can and cannot be done.

It turned out that the woman had left immediately last night, she knew from the ART that was in the house.

Early in the morning Ningrum was preparing breakfast for her husband.

Her husband, Mr. Yudha, is her husband now. Even though she was treated by her husband's first wife it was like a maid only.

Said Asih, Senior ART in the house. If Yudha always had breakfast toast and egg omelette plus a glass of chamomile tea.

After preparing everything on the tray. Ningrum immediately rushed off to the second floor where Yudha's room was located.

Actually, he could have taken the elevator to make it easier for him to bring his breakfast.

But he was a little phobic when he entered the elevator. Because he had experienced trauma while riding the elevator.

Finally Ningrum arrived in front of Yudha's room. With a slight hesitation he knocked on the door.

Geck.. Geck... Tok...,

Slowly Ningrum opened the door leaf, his gaze immediately leading to Yudha who was still sitting on her bed.

Still wearing pajamas Yudha sat staring straight at Ningrum while slightly frowning.

Feeling constantly in the face, Ningrum immediately lowered his gaze.

''I'm sorry sir, I'm delivering breakfast to you.'' Said carefully.

Yudha did not expect that Ningrum would bring her breakfast this time. Usually the one who delivers breakfast is always by Bik Asih.

He thought Ningrum wouldn't be coming home today from the hospital. Because Windi didn't tell him either.

''From this moment on I will serve the needs of the Master. This is all on the orders of Lady Eliana.'' Say Ningrum again.

Because Yudha did not respond to Ningrum's words. He was afraid that Yudha would consider him presumptuous.

Although Yudha was her husband now, a sense of awkwardness and unfamiliarity still enveloped her heart.

''Otherwise what are you planning Ana for?'' Inner Yudha.

''Alright, bring it here.'' Yudha said later.

Ningrum then walked cautiously towards Yudha with an erratic feeling. I don't know why his heart suddenly riled.

Because this is her first time together with her husband in the room.

But he tried to be calm.

Ningrum placed the tray containing breakfast on the nightstand. Then he kept a mini-table on Yudha's lap.

After that he put the food tray on it.

''Please sir, please come out again. If you're done I'll be back.'' Say Ningrum again.

''Wait a minute, didn't Eliana tell you to serve me?'' Ask Yudha.

Ningrum nodded small.

''So stay here, accompany me to breakfast.'' Yudha said again, for some reason he suddenly had the courage to say that sentence.

Ningrum slightly widened his eyes, surprised for sure. Because all she knows is that this isn't what Eliana put her in.

Without waiting for Ningrum's approval. Yudha again ruled Ningrum. Until it breaks its daydream.

''Please bring me a warm wet towel. You can take that little towel under the washtable. Then please wet it with warm water.'' Yudha explained.

''B-good Sir.'' Reply Ningrum.

Ningrum immediately did as Yudha commanded deftly.

Not long after, he was near Yudha again. And give a bowl with a warm wet towel.

Yudha immediately took the towel and immediately put it on her face.

His face looked fresher.

Yudha thanked Ningrum while returning the towel to him.

''Sit here.'' Yudha said again as she patted the side of her bed.

''T-but Sir.'' Ningrum slightly objected.

''Don't refuse this my order.'' Yudha insisted a little bit of feeding.

He knew for sure Ningrum would refuse.

Without refuting again Ningrum obeyed Yudha's will. And sat opposite Yudha in a short distance.

''Just accompany me. You can ask me anything.'' Yudha again.

Again, Ningrum could only nod in response to Yudha's question.

For some reason his heart rippled a little when he heard every word that came out of the mouth of Yudha.

Without Ningrum noticing, from earlier his eyes continued to look at the handsome face of Yudha. He was busy chewing his food.

Feeling the look on Yudha smiled. And instantly there was a mischievous idea that flashed through his brain.

''After breakfast you should help me to take a bath, Yudha said with a big smile.

Again, Ningrum just nodded. Not knowing what Yudha said.

''Eh, wh-what?!'' Speak spontaneously with wide eyes. After finally realizing what Yudha said.
