The Substitute Sister-in-law
Convince oneself

Time has passed, the beautiful memories that have been strung together since the beginning, now have to leave a trail of very bitter memories like a medicinal pill that must be chewed. Bitter, that's very clear.

Nanney who had just been silent, a word was not able to say. His gaze was straight on a mirror, and heedless of the few people around him. Tears that did not want to wet both of her cheeks, eventually spilled out by themselves. He cried, but not crying because he would be married by a man who only attach importance to his passion to achieve his goals. But she cried because of a marriage that was not as lucky as the other women, who were not attended by family members a second time. Let alone for his presence, himself did not know the news about his family.

A Nanney's resignation is so hard to accept. The happiness that he had actually obtained, now vanished like swallowed by the earth.

It hurts, it hurts. How else, the journey of his life is not a wheel where it is possible to turn back. However, his life journey continued to go on with time and would never stop as long as his breath was still there.

For his absolute and inviolable decision, what can Nanney do?

There was nothing Nanney could do but be patient and make herself a strong woman, without showing her sadness in front of others.

'I must be able to accept this reality, whatever I will accept later.' His mind while strengthening his own heart without any encouragement of his life other than the figure of Mbak Alana who has now been considered like his own brother.

"Miss, stop crying. Look, Miss's pretty face is no longer visible. Trust me, Miss. I'm sure if Miss can get through all this after the wedding has been pledged in the audience of the person who will be the witness." Said Ma'am Alana trying to give encouragement for her, Nanney could only nod and wipe her tears before herself in makeup with a simple makeup.

At that very instant, both of his hands shook violently. Mbak Alana who saw it, he immediately grasped it quite strong.

"Miss, calm your heart. Trust in the owner of life, that Miss is able to accept and live what has become His provision. Trust me, Miss. It will all end in happiness." Said Mbak Alana who continues to encourage Nanney, hoping that nothing bad will happen to the figure of the woman he accompanied as long as the order from his Master continues.

Nanney, who always remembered the advice of Mbak Alana, continued to try to encourage herself and make herself a strong and patient woman.

Time continued, Nanney was still sitting in front of the mirror to make up her face. Polishing by polish, his father's face looks so clear. The thin smile that was engraved on both corners of her lips, did not in the least detract from her beauty.

"Perfect, absolutely perfect." She finished putting on Nanney's face.

At that moment, Nanney came back like a dream. Her second marriage has really come to her.

A marriage that he never imagined, now seems to be a curse for him. How not, she should marry her own sister-in-law. It feels uncomfortable, indeed. But how else, in addition to following the flow of his life, Nanney is trying to compensate for the extent of the revenge he will receive from his own brother-in-law.

"Miss, the spirit yes. May this second marriage not be like your nightmare, miss. I believe that God is able to turn the heart of someone who is good to bad at first. And vice versa, can turn bad into good." Said Mbak Alana cheering, of course with other wise sentences.

Nanney who heard the words from Mbak Alana, he nodded slowly and smiled at her. Ma'am Alana returned her smile and helped Nanney to stand up.

"Be careful, Miss." Said Alana.

The wedding, which was only attended by a few neighbors around him, was enough to be a witness to his marriage. A tent that is not so magnificent, but can make it very embarrassed. Shame is not on the people around him, but shame on yourself who are unable to rebel.

At the Huttama residence, now shocked at the arrival of Gane's men.

"Yes, Sir. Today Mr. Gane is having his wedding to Miss Nanney, the wife of the late Mr. Regar." He answered honestly, of course as ordered by his Boss.

Mr. Pras was again surprised to hear that his nephew would marry the wife of his late nephew, quite unexpected.

Mother Sere who heard the shock from her husband, immediately approached the husband.

"What's this?" ask Mother Sere curious.

"Gane, today Gane is married." Answer Mr. Pras.

"Gane's married? thank God, Gane finally got married too." Mother Sere said with a happy expression, Mr. Pras frowned.

"Kok Papa's expression so that? we should be happy to follow you, Pa."

"Happy how? Gane was married to Nanney, Regar's late wife."

"What! married to Nanney?" asked Mother Sere in disbelief, Mr. Pras nodded slowly.

"So" said Mother Sere who was confused by what her husband said.

"We don't have time anymore, let's get ready." Mr. Pras orders his wife to be ready immediately.

"What the hell is it, Ma? great feeling." David asked as he went down the stairs.

"Brother you are married today, be ready quickly. We don't have time, the show's about to start. And you, tell Gane to wait for my arrival." Said Mr. Pras and addressed to Gane's men who were asked to give news to Mr. Pras.

"Good, Sir. Then I say goodbye, excuse me." He replied and went straight from before Mr. Pras after saying goodbye.

David who heard the answer from his father, he did not believe what he was listening to. The brother was never close to any woman. And now, suddenly giving a news about her marriage, was unexpected.

"Serious papa? who did Brother Gane marry? kak Gane's feelings are never close to a woman. Brother Gane is not being funny, is he, Pa? I hope it's true to be married." Ask David to make sure, because he still feels distrust for the news he received.

"Seriously, Son. Your brother married Nanney, the wife of the late Regar. Ah come on, let's get ready." Answer the mother.

Again Gane again surprised when he heard a name that is not familiar to him. David repeatedly patted both cheeks, hoping that what he heard was just a joke, he thought.

"So, Brother Gane married Sister Nanney? that's right, Pa." David still could not believe what he was listening to.
