The Substitute Sister-in-law
Longing

Finished cleaning the room and workspace owned by his brother-in-law, Nanney returned to the room to clean himself because he felt sultry and also the body felt sticky.

Before entering the bathroom, Nanney recalled a cell phone. "I almost forgot, my cell phone wasn't with me at the time." Nanney muttered while remembering when he kept his phone.

Instead, she tried to check it out in the closet. A smile adorned the corner of her lips, and she immediately picked it up.

"The battery's running out, I have to give data to my phone." He said while charging the battery. After that, he went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

With an uninspired taste, Nanney hurriedly took a shower. Afraid, if at any time his room-in-law came home and asked for this and that, he thought.

While in the family room there is Mr. Hardika with his son named Vandu who was busy with his flat objects. Mother Sere himself was out of the house accompanied by Mr. Pras somehow where he went.

"Pa, when are we going home?" ask Vandu who is getting bored. The holiday he thought would be fun, in fact it makes him bored. Because everything is busy with their respective activities, while Mr. Hardika and his son just relax.

"Patience, we're not here long. Papa did all this for your future, understand."

"Yes, Pa." Vandu said, then he immediately rushed to move to his room because there was no activity to eliminate his saturation. Long enough to be in the room, did not feel the time was almost afternoon.

Gane, who was on his way home, thought of something that made his head feel dizzy. Slowly, Gane massaged his temple. I hope there are no big problems that will add to my mind.

"Sir, we're here." Said the Driver.

Gane did not answer anything, he immediately removed his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Arriving in the room, Gane observed the contents of the room from one corner to the other. The room looks neat and clean, Gane smiles and takes off her work clothes and leaves behind a color trouser and a white t-shirt.

Gane recalled a small frame that had been noticed by Nanney while cleaning his room. Gane approached him, then retrieved the frame. A small frame with photos of her past with the woman she hopes for.

At that time, Gane felt sad and felt the loss of a woman who was used as a bridge of his heart. It must feel silly, but that's the reality of his own feelings.

Gane rubbed the photo, then he kissed it. "Clara, a woman like you will never be replaced. Trust me, my feelings will never change." Gane muttered after smelling the framed photo, then he placed it back on the nightstand.

With a tired head, Gane chose to lie on his bed. He saw the ceiling of his room while recalling in his past with the woman who became his dream.

Slowly because it felt sleepy, Gane finally fell asleep. On the other hand, Nanney was busy with kitchen tools with several house servants.

"Miss, let me do it. Better Miss go back to the room, I'm afraid Miss will be exhausted." His unwell words when Nanney helped him to prepare for the night.

"Sister Nanney," call Vandu who is now in the kitchen. Nanney himself was shocked.

"Vandu, what's wrong?" nanney asked a little fear if she caught her sister-in-law.

"I'm helping prepare dinner, what do you need? just say it."

"I just need a friend to go out, just brother, walk the road." Vandu said accompanied by his sweet smile.

"I'm sorry, I can't." Replied Nanney who did not dare to accept the invitation from anyone. Although actually want to be able to escape from the house owned by her husband's family. However, Nanney himself was still confused to do the action.

"Sister Nanney has nothing to fear, I'll be in charge of everything. We are, too, brothers." Vandu continued to persuade, hoping that his persuasion would be accepted by Nanney.

"Yes, but I really can't. The next time, it was late afternoon. Any minute's dinner."

"All right, tomorrow I'll take Kak Nanney down the road. Of course, Mr. Nanney is not bored, every day at home continues."

Nanney, who was listening to him, could only smile at Vandu.

"I want to finish my work in the kitchen. You better go with your father, pity yourself." Nanney said, Vandu smiled and nodded his head and walked away from Nanney.

After there was no Vandu, Nanney suddenly got an elbow from Lina's mother.

"Miss must be careful, Mr. Hardika's son is very playboy. Her boyfriend isn't just one, he's good at flirting." Lina half-whispered, Nanney just smiled listening to her.

"Mr Lina, there's-there. Take it easy, I won't turn my back on my husband, ma'am." Answer Nanney.

"Miss, don't be. We will never know our next relationship. Love is love, but that doesn't mean we're stuck in it. Miss still has a long future, of course, still have hope to marry again." Said mbak Lina keceplosan, Nanney himself can only stay still and choose to arrange some dishes that are ready to be arranged on the dining table.

Lina's brother who felt guilty for his words, he immediately approached Nanney who was arranging dishes at the dining table.

"Miss, I'm sorry. It's not my intention to patronize, I just don't want to see Miss dissolved in grief." Lina felt very guilty.

Nanney who also did not want to make others misunderstand, he paused while doing his work.

"It's okay, Sister Lina. I'm just not ready, trust me. And I ask Lina's sister not to be taken for my attitude earlier." Nanney explained.

"Thank you very much, Miss. I promise not to repeat it again, this is the last one." Lina's mother was really very guilty, even full of regrets, he thought.

"That's it, don't think about it. Here I was just a piece of kara, having no one but Ms. Lina and the others. There's no difference between us, ma'am. Maybe soon I won't be staying here, because I'm no longer part of the Huttama family. Now that I'm a widow, there's no right for me to live in this house." Nanney, aware of her new status, is a widow.

Even Lina's brother who heard it, his heart was sad when Nanney said his new status.

"Patient lady, yes. I pray that Miss Nanney will soon be found with happiness." Said mbak Lina who did not have the heart to see the bad luck that befell on Nanney.
