The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Impossible

Happy reading!

Along the way, none of us started the conversation. The atmosphere so quiet in the car only heard the smooth sound of air blowing from the air conditioner.

Denis just stared straight ahead, while I looked out the window. Although still thinking about what he will say, but I began to enjoy the scenery that I had not been able to see while in prison. "Lord, how beautiful freedom is. How fresh was the air I breathed outside the prison. Thank you for giving me the chance to fix my life." I continue to give thanks in my heart. For a moment to dismiss all the curiosity about what Mas Denis really wants to talk about.

After wondering where Mas Denis was going to take me, he stopped the car he was driving. I also began to see a minimalist cafe that was not too far from the toilet where I was in prison. "What does he mean he brought me here? My God, I really don't want to make Mira jealous if she finds out Mas Denis brought me to this cafe or could it be that Mira is waiting for me inside?" my mind grew more curious with the millions of question marks that had filled my mind. However, I still refrained from asking questions and started following Mas Denis after getting out of the car.

On arrival at the cafe, I found that Almira was not there. Currently, Mas Denis chose a seat that was a bit more inward.

After I had chosen the seat directly opposite her, I impatiently began to ask, "Mas, what do you mean to take me to this cafe? If there is something to say, say it quickly! I don't want to be here long with you." I said that while holding both hands in front of my chest and speaking so firmly to her.

"Calm down, Lissa! I'll tell you everything after ordering a drink first for us. There's no way I'm talking about this on the street like that."

I saw Mas Denis exhaling violently. I feel like he also feels uncomfortable with this meeting just like me. More precisely, between me and Mas Denis really felt awkward until he did not dare to look me in the face like hesitating to say what he wanted to say.

"Surprisingly, what exactly is Mas Denis talking about? Why does he look so doubtful like this?" my murmurs were still staring at Mas Denis full of probing.

Without being able to do anything, I finally just resigned and waited. I sat down uneasily as Mas Denis called a waiter to record our order. Honestly, I feel guilty right now for being alone with a man who is already the husband of my twin sister. Maybe in the early days of my prison sentence, I was still thinking about how to get back Mas Denis from Almira. Take what should be mine. But this time it was different. Not one bit of thought went back to taking Mas Denis from Almira. Yeah, 4 years in prison made my mind open. I really changed and felt very sincere about releasing Mas Denis for Almira. Even as I have said before that I also often pray for the happiness of my twin sister with Mas Denis.

"It looks like you've been impatient. Why do you look so nervous?" Denis began to look at me and from the look in his eyes, I somehow seemed to see there was such a deep sadness. However, it is difficult to guess what sadness he experienced.

"Why do I feel like Mas Denis is ...." A moment of that guess. But I quickly corrected it. "Cannot be. Why should he feel sad? He should be happy because he can finally be a father. Wasn't it his dream from long ago. Even she was furious when she found out that I caused Mira to miscarry. Yes, even if it's not his son," I said in my heart.

"Why are you silent?" Denis called me when I was busy with my own thoughts.

"It's okay, Mom. Just tell me what you want to talk about! You see, I feel sitting here together with you is a mistake. Don't forget that our status is different now. I am your sister-in-law. So, I don't think it's appropriate for both of us to be like this. What if Mira's friends see her? Or your co-worker?" Without any more restraint, I revealed what had been so disturbing in my mind ever since. Hopefully Mas Denis can understand and immediately say what he wants to say. I don't want him to delay any more and it's gonna take me so much longer to get out of front of him.

Many times I saw Mas Denis pulling and exhaling long breaths as if he wanted to release the burden in him. Makes me really confused by his inertia.

"What's wrong with you, man? I've seen you so agitated. Is there a problem with your home? You and Mira are having a fight?" I also asked him a few questions.

When he looked at me, he opened his mouth and started talking. "Mira left me, Lissa."

I was shocked to hear his words. How could Almira leave Mas Denis? Moreover, all this time, Almira was so fighting to take Mas Denis from me. So, I think it's very unlikely that he just took off Mas Denis. Moreover, I know that my twin sister is a good woman and it is impossible to betray her husband.
