The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Severe Decision

Happy reading!

In the middle of my mind that was still so unexpected with the departure of Almira, suddenly Mas Denis asked about something that surprised me. It made me feel awkward being around him.

"Lissa, do you want to pretend to be Mira for a while in front of my son? From this morning she kept crying looking for her mother and I was really confused what to do."

Of course I feel sorry for my niece's condition, but to pretend to be Almira is impossible for me to do. At least that's what I'm thinking right now.

"Sorry, Mas. I can't." Without hesitation I refused it. Making the look on Mas Denis' face looks so disappointed when he heard my decision.

"Can't you think about it anymore! I beg you, Lissa. Check out this video first! Inah said from morning she was moody until she didn't want to eat." Mas Denis thrust his phone with a screen that already displays a video of a child crying.

I took her phone, and started watching a one-minute video in which Keisha was endlessly crying and chattering and calling her repeatedly.

"Surely she was looking for Mira and did not know if her mother had left her. God, how could I possibly pretend to be Mira. Actually I don't want to do it because I'm so tired of all the pretenses I used to do." I can only say in my heart all the doubts that are taking hold of me.

"I'm willing, but only for a while. I also apologize to you for not being able to grant Mira's request to take her place. After all, I also do not want if the good name of you and my family becomes even more tarnished because of this. I used to be your wife, and then my sister took my place. So, now it's impossible if I have to go back with you. It's impossible because other than I don't want to, I'm also waiting for someone else. At least that guy never left me alone when I was in jail." I reveal everything that is on my mind. No matter what he thinks, but at least I did something that I think is right.

"I understand and I'm also sorry for these 4 years I never came to visit you. All this time I was too busy getting used to my marriage with Mira. I was also so blinded by my anger that I didn't find out all the truth."

"No problem, Mom. I understand, but I'm really sorry for not being able to go back to you. Now that our way of life has been much different and I have also considered you to be the most valuable life lesson of my past. Besides, I'd be happier if you'd learn to love Mira and forget about me. You should be able to, let alone you already have Keisha. Remember, Mas! No matter what Mira's past mistakes were, she's still your wife. It is not the duty of a husband to forgive the mistakes of his wife, let alone the mistakes that Mira did not involve a third person at all. He loves you so much, Mom."

Hearing my words, the look on Mas Denis' face looked even more sad. Actually I didn't mean to insinuate him because I just wanted his household with Almira to survive and they were both happy.
