The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Bonus Chapter 2: The Promise of Forever

Happy reading!

After going through a labor process that is quite heavy and very draining, I have now been transferred to the ward on the 5th floor. Alamanda's room became a comfortable place where I lay with the child I had just born. Of course I'm very happy. Looking at the tiny face of my sleeping son with eyes that are very similar to mine.

"Darling, you're still bobo." I tried to flirt by playing the index finger on her tiny chin.

Simultaneously, I saw Delano back in the room after leaving me to take care of some administration that had not been completed.

"No, our son is very funny. She looks like me, doesn't she?" I asked Delano a moment after he arrived right next to me.

"Yes, Honey. He really looks like you. His eyes, his eyebrows, his chin, they all look just like you."

"Yes, yeah, No. But, her nose looks just like yours, No."

"Yes, Honey. His name is also a boy. Usually the boy looks like his mother."

I smiled at Delano's words. Until the end, I remembered something I had not been able to ask my husband. "Oh yeah, have you decided on a name for our son?" I asked to remember two choices of names that Delano had said before my delivery day when we were still at home.

"I'm still confused, but which one do you think is good?"

"If I think, both are good. Already, No, you just choose what you think is good. Whatever your choice, I'll agree."

For a moment Delano was silent while starting to sit in the chair that was right next to my bed. "Alright I've decided. What if the name, Wira Aditama Prakarsa?"

"Of course it's good."

We both agreed. Feeling very happy while looking at the Hero who began to wake up with funny babble.

"Wira's up, No."

"Oh yes, said the nurse, if she wakes up, you can try to love ASI."

"But this is my first time, No." Seeing the doubt on my face, Delano tried to convince me.

"You don't have to be afraid. Let's try it!"

I finally tried to do it. Placing my son's face with the help of Delano who slightly raised the tiny body of Wira to make it easier for me to breastfeed him. However, just a few minutes later, a knocking sound came from outside the room.

"Something's coming, honey."

Slowly, I ended my activity that had just started breastfeeding my son. I can see that Wira is still not used to it and still seems to guess what she had sucked.

"Who's coming, no?"

"She, Fadhly ...."

"Congratulations, Lissa. Congratulations on the birth of your first child." Those words were spoken just after Meisya stopped her footsteps right next to the Hero. His face looked so friendly as he greeted me.

"Thank you, Meisya. But, how did you guys get here? Has Delano told you?" I was surprised because it was only a few hours after my delivery. So, how could anyone have come to visit me, especially that person is Fadhly and Meisya.

"It just so happened that we met with Delano downstairs. I'm sorry we haven't bought anything for your son's gift."

"Yes, we'll just send the gift straight to your house, Lissa." Fadhly chimed in on Meisya's words. Both of them looked very happy and it was evident from the smile on their faces. It seems like the happiness that I feel comes with them as well or actually there is something that makes them look happy like this. I don't know, even though I was curious, but I kept waiting for them to talk and just kept it deep in my heart.

"Lissa, you should also congratulate Mother Meisya on the pregnancy of her second child."

Instantly Delano's words made my curiosity instantly answered. It was only from the beginning of their arrival that the look on their faces seemed really happy.

"Congratulations, Meisya. Finally, God replaces what you once lost. I'm so happy about your current pregnancy."

"It's all thanks to you, Lissa." Smiling Meisya said it. Makes me confused because honestly I did not feel like doing anything until Meisya could get pregnant again.

"What am I really doing?" With an innocent look on my face I asked. Meisya smiled before starting to answer what I asked.

"Didn't you feel that your sincerity when you came to my house to apologize really made me feel sorry for you. And, because of the sincerity of my heart to release hatred and revenge, God finally made my way easier until I could get pregnant again. Whereas before, I have been disappointed several times because the results of my examination of the womb are always negative. Perhaps in the past, my heart was still shrouded in resentment and hatred. Therefore, God has not given me permission to have any more children."

Hearing the words from Meisya, of course I did not justify it. Moreover, what I did with an apology to Meisya was a necessity in order to make my new life no longer overshadowed my past mistakes.

"Now the most important thing is that everything has passed. So, we better not have to discuss what happened in the past."

"Yes you're right, Lissa. Now I promise you, if we're going to be like family and if necessary when my son is born, I'll match him to your son. How do you agree?"

"Maybe as long as your daughter is a girl."

"Yes, definitely dong, men's time is betrothed to men."

It sounded funny and made us share a laugh. We also talked to each other. And, for some reason after a few minutes, I felt so close to Meisya. Reminds me of my twin sister who died.

"Mira, if you were still around. I'm sure you'll be happy to see my happiness. Forgive Brother yes. Sorry for being so mean to you. But ... In return, I promise to love Keisya all my life and will not discriminate my love with what I give to Wira. I will love him with all my heart" my mind suddenly seemed to see Almira standing behind Delano smiling at me.
