When Your Uncle Becomes the Substitute Bride
Chapters 16. I-You

The family meeting, it didn't go well for Dera. Often he hears a squabble between Daren and Hafran. Wanting to ask her husband, but seeing a face full of annoyance, made Dera undo her intentions. So, along the way they just kept quiet, just like they left earlier.

Remembering every woman's speech at Pandu's parents' house earlier, made Dera upset as well. Everything he did, it was as if it was the wrong Dimata Jilia. I don't know what he wants, Dera tries not to care.

“Are you still hungry?” After a long moment of silence, Daren finally opened his voice.

“Udah full, coke, Om,” replied Dera softly. As much as possible he did not make Daren upset again, because Dera enek see Daren's face like that.

Daren's back on his feet. The man rested his back on the bench of the car, his head already leaning. Daren felt dizzy, probably because of the debate earlier.

Dera, who had heard Daren's breathing, felt pity. He shifted a little, to reach out to Daren's arm. When the girl held it, the master opened his eyes in surprise.

“What's up?” ask Daren.

“You want me to massage his head?” ask Dera back. A smile he displayed, in order to eliminate the face of judes that Daren had always seen.

Daren's naughtiness makes Dera upset. He turned around, turned his back on Daren. Dera's face pouted with lips already advanced five inches.

“Sorry, sorry. Turn around, I really need your massage,” said Daren. Dera lowered her head, blushing with that remark.

After feeling no longer nervous, Dera turned back. He drew closer to Daren, slowly rubbing his forehead gently. The touch of Dera's fingers, making Daren's heart beat fast. Never had he felt this way, but Dera was able to stir his heart.

It happened to Dera too. His heart was like it wanted to escape from its place. During her dating with Pandu, Dera held hands and even hugged. However, Dera had never felt a heartbeat this crazy, really, the thump was incredible.

The car seemed to understand the situation. Moving slowly down the city streets are quite quiet. The movement of Dera's hands more gently stroked Daren's hair, making the empu's eyes closed, enjoying every massage the girl gave.

Daren immediately opened his eyes, he caught the hand of Dera who wanted to massage back. “Already, enough. I don't want you to be exhausted, you better sleep,” said Daren.

Dera was a little moved to hear that. Daren always paid attention to him.

“Emm. Can't you, Om, wear me-you're not me-you?”

Daren was misbehaved, awkward because of Dera's words. However, he immediately nodded. “B-can, kok.”

“Good,” said Dera while leaning her body.

There was no more conversation, the two were busy with each other's thoughts until they were unconscious when the car started to enter the gate of the house. And the car stopped in a wide courtyard. Dera immediately came down followed by Daren, then both of them entered the house. They were greeted by a waiter who opened the door, until the couple chose to go straight to their room.

The awkwardness came back to Daren and Dera. To just sit on the edge of the bed, they can't. Both of them were still standing by the door, with no one willing to start first. Because Dera remained silent, Daren finally took the initiative to offer the girl.

“You should quickly clean yourself, after that then go to sleep,” said Daren.

“Om?” dera asked while looking at her husband.

“I, uh, I mean. I will do the job first,” said Daren.

The girl nodded her head, walking away from Daren who was still near the door. Dera cleaned his body back, because it felt very sticky because of sweating. After that, Dera went to sleep. He took the time to see Daren in the workspace, looking focused on the laptop.

At work, Daren tries to focus on completing his tasks. Although it was heavy, since it had been in the man's mind, it was only Dera's sweet smile. I tried to stop, but I couldn't. Daren seems hypnotized by the figure of Dera.

“Gosh. What happened to me?” He's pulling his hair.

Out of the bathroom, Daren intends to pick up a pillow and a blanket. He still wants to sleep on the sofa, it does not feel good if Dera has not allowed him to sleep on the mattress. Daren is just afraid that his actions make Dera angry.

When it was about to move, Daren's hand was pulled by Dera. In his sleep, the girl kept holding back Daren from leaving.

“Please don't go,” racau Dera, still hold Daren's hand.

“I'm here, you don't have to worry,” said Daren calming Dera. Without a second thought, Daren dropped his ass on the edge of the bed.

His hand had moved rubbing Dera's head gently, in order to calm her girl to go back to sleep. However, who would have thought Dera instead hugged Daren's waist, making the master difficult to breathe in surprise.

“I-iya.”

If so, what should Daren do? As a result, the man chose to lie down without letting go of Dera's embrace. Gentle and soulful Daren patted Dera on the back. Looks like God heard what Daren's request was, hugged his wife like this. Daren is very happy, gradually Dera begins to accept him. Might as well. I hope so.

A happy smile appeared on Daren's handsome face. He grabbed Dera's body, to get more into his arms. Daren tries to close his eyes, participate in the dream with his wife.

I just want time to stop. How happy I am, to have the warmth of my wife.

Early in the morning, Dera was in the kitchen. He came out of the room after cleaning himself. And again, she felt very embarrassed for re-hugging Daren in her sleep. I want Dera to disappear, to avoid Daren.

“Money why?” Questions from mbok, make Dera realized.

“E-not, really, Mbok. Dera, no, what,” says Dera fast. Mbok just nodded.

The two continued cooking. Every now and then Dera glanced at the mbok, she wanted to ask about the Daren family, but her lips felt faint. Also, he does not want to be labeled as ‘co’ artisan girl.

Sighing, Dera tried to remove the weight that had accumulated in the chest. After that, he looked back at me.

“Mbok,” call Daren.

Mbok. “Iya, Mistress? Can anyone help?” ask mbok.

“Hemm, Dera can ask?”

“Sure, Mistress.”

Dera took a breath back. Not wanting to let go of this opportunity, Dera finally opened her mouth. “About the family Om Daren. Did they not get along?”

Suddenly pias's face, the woman looked agitated as Dera looked at her.

“Mbok?” call Dera again.

“Eh, yes, Mistress?” Mbok.

“Why silence?”

“Anu ... Madame. What do I need to answer?”

“Sure,” sahut Dera steady.

“Actually, Mr. Daren and his family got along very well first. But, when the incident happened, Mr. Daren considered them like enemies,”. Intentionally hanging speech because you want to take a breath first.

“What events, Mbok?” ask Dera impatiently.

“Genesis where is—“

“My ex-wife cheated with my cousin.”
