The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Fear of Knowledge

Happy reading!

Until the night went on, I was still in the hotel because Mas Denis did have time to say if he would extend our stay until tomorrow. That means, today I can't see Almira. Even though I haven't calmed down since I kept thinking about my sister's pregnancy. However, I did not want to show it in front of Mas Denis who again and again invited me to spend time in bed. I don't know how many times during our stay here we did a hot scene that seemed unsatisfied, but I feel very happy because Mas Denis always said that he loved me at the end of every game we did. Even while asleep, he never let go of his embrace and kept holding me all his sleep.

After accidentally falling asleep, I started to wake up and Mas Denis was still right next to me. But he no longer hugged me.

"Eh, Mum. You're awake, aren't you?" I asked while looking at the face of Mas Denis who was different than usual.

I immediately remembered the message sent by Almira. "Did I forget to delete a message from Almira? That's why, Mas Denis looks like he's mad at me."

I try to get my body closer to her. Hugging her, even though she felt different unlike before I fell asleep earlier. Maybe he really knows everything. Did when I fell asleep Almira called me and told me about her pregnancy to Mas Denis?

Those questions kept filling my head. Makes me feel so wrong because Mas Denis looks so indifferent to me.

"Mas, what the hell are you doing?" ask me carefully.

"Why what do you mean? Try to think for yourself!"

His voice was so sharp that it made my guess closer to reality. "Oh my God, does Mas Denis know and now he's waiting for me to tell the truth?" my mind was confused by what happened.

Not wanting to guess, I immediately picked up my phone which was still where it was when I put it there. There is no history of incoming calls from Almira and whatsapp messages that had been sent were indeed I have deleted.

"Why are you confused? What do you see on your phone?" She asked. It made me look straight at it to see it.

"It's okay, Mom. It's just me ...." I'm still thinking. Try to find reasons not to make Mas Denis more suspicious.

"What's free?" tanyanya emphasized more that I immediately answer it.

"You said you wanted to make sure I took the photo above, Mas? So no?"

"You promised me, Mom. He said if we come here you want me to photograph the background of a hot air balloon like the one in Cappadocia, you know, Mas." I immediately grabbed Mas Denis' hand and wrapped it around to hug my body. I tried my best to persuade her to tell him what was really going on. 

"This is it, you see. Nice, right? I'd like to take a photo here of you making mementos during your stay here." I've now shown you a photo on the hotel rooftop from her Instagram account. 

Denis did not answer, and then he broke his arms off my body and left the bed. Seeing her question-marked attitude made me really stressed. 

I saw Mas Denis go into the bathroom. Not long after that he came back out and immediately put on clothes like he was going to leave this room.

I rushed up to him and put my hand on Mas Denis' neck. I had to keep her from leaving until she told me the reason why she suddenly changed after I woke up. 

"Mas, where the hell are you going this neat?" ask me gently, then put my face on the chest surface of the field. This attitude I accidentally made up, it really naturally flowed by itself. 

"I have business outside. You just keep resting until I get back!" he answered in a cold voice.

"But, Mom, I don't want you to go anywhere. I want you here to stay with me, accompany me. What business are you out there? And, what was the reason you suddenly changed? Am I wrong? If you do try to tell me in my wrong time, let me know, Mas." I whine demanding answers from him. 

Right now, I'm really scared. Afraid that Mas Denis's reason for being cold like this is knowing all my lies. I was really scared of losing him. 

Denis did not answer any of the questions I asked in a row, then slowly he slowly distanced my body and just left the room. 

I was silent in my position, unable to move to chase after him. If I keep trying to prevent him from leaving, it would be the same as raising new suspicions in his mind, while at the moment I don't know what reason he left me. Did he already know everything and attempt to investigate by meeting Almira?
