The Substitute Woman on the First Night
The Perfect Acting

Happy reading!

Upon arrival at home, I immediately took the pain medication in the dining room and placed a moment of plastic containing the medicine for Almira on the table as my hands changed to hold a glass of water. After that, I went to my room. Forgetting the medicine I shouldn't have left at the dinner table.

After being in the room, I immediately laid my body on the sofa, then turned on the television to drive away my boredom. 

When I almost fell asleep on the sofa, my eyes opened again when I heard the sound of Mas Denis stepping into the room in a hurry. 

"Why did the clock come home?" I was confused, and then I forced my body to sit on the sofa. 

"I just went home for a little while to pick up the missing files. Just go to sleep, honey. Sorry if I interrupted your break!" say Mas Denis, then kiss my forehead. 

"Why don't you just call me, Mom? If I had known, I would have delivered the file to your office" I asked to look at him with my eyes. Look at Mas Denis who has stepped towards his desk at the end there.

"I don't want to bother you, honey. Anyway this afternoon I had a meeting at the Aston Hotel with the client and because it was in the direction of the house, so I broke up to take it myself. If it's far away, I'll ask you for help. Already yes, you continue to sleep because I also want to walk again!" said Mas Denis seemed to be in a hurry and was still busy looking for the files he wanted to retrieve.

"Well, I'll take you out, Mom!" When I was just standing. Suddenly he came to me.

"Mom, what is this medicine? It's pink, didn't I accidentally meet at the dinner table?" he asked while thrusting plastic containing gynecologic drugs for Almira which I accidentally left in the dining room. 

I was really surprised by Inah's question which wasn't in time because Mas Denis was here.  "Wine! Denis can't see the cure!" my mind was glancing at Mas Denis with fear that was starting to make me nervous. 

Not wanting Mas Denis to see the medicine I bought for Almira, I immediately grabbed the medicine plastic from Inah's hand and immediately put it in the bag I put on the table. I could see a shocked look on Inah's face. However, looking at the sharpening glare of my eyes, my housekeeper dared not ask and preferred to leave my room.

I also started acting, winking as if glancing to buy time to answer Mas Denis' question. In my heart I cursed my carelessness that had hurried back to the room while taking painkillers until the medicine for Almira forgot I brought it after I put it on the table.

Seeing me still rubbing my eyes many times, Mas Denis even more worried. "Did your eyes hurt too, honey? Let's see here!" Denis came over and checked my eyes.

I also resigned as he cupped my face to look at my eyes up close. "It's kind of red like your eyes. I'll take you to the doctor!" Denis began to feel my forehead with the look of his face that worried me more. "It's hot on your forehead too."

"It's okay, Mom. My head hurt a lot, but I bought medicine at the pharmacy at the end of the housing complex. After taking the medicine I fell asleep. Maybe the medicine forgot I brought it." With a smile, I said that while holding Mas Denis' hand so that he was sure of what I said.

My plan worked, Mas Denis really believed it and directly stroked the tip of my head gently. "Later if it still hurts my phone huh! Let me take you to the doctor. Yes, you are now resting again! I'll go first." Denis peeked at my cheek, then walked away with some of the files he had taken. While I was, just shut up without leaving because Mas Denis asked me to rest.

I put my body back on the couch. Then, I took my phone to send a short message to Almira.

Alissa: Tomorrow we meet in our usual place! Nine o'clock in the morning. Remember, don't be late! Tomorrow I don't have much time.

Without hesitation, I sent the message and it didn't take long for Almira to reply to my message with a question.

Almira: Did you tell Mas Denis about my pregnancy?

I started to read the reply to the message from Almira furiously. The question made my head grow dizzy. Could he be stupid? How many times he asked, my answer remained the same. I'm not gonna tell Denis. Even for the sake of maintaining my happiness, I was willing to become a murderer. It's crazy, of course, because I was determined not to sacrifice an innocent child in Almira's womb. But unfortunately, he turned down my offer and it irritated me to the point of going down a path I never really wanted.

Alissa: Don't take it. Come tomorrow if you want to know the answer!

The message was sent and Almira no longer replied. "If you're willing to accept my offer, maybe I shouldn't do this, Mira." I'm really sorry about my twin sister's decision. The decision that ultimately made Samali desperate to do something really cruel for me to do.
