When Your Uncle Becomes the Substitute Bride
Chapters 2. The Substitute

Led by his mother and Vera, Dera is brought down to meet Pandu's parents. The girl who was still wrapped in pajamas, a lot of silence. Dera's gaze was empty, while tears continued to seep down without excuse.

Seeing that, Pandu's parents felt very guilty. They immediately stood up, staring at Dera who was still silent.

Wanted to be angry, but Hamidah could not. After all, he knew that Pandu's parents didn't want any of this to happen. Wanted to call fate, but why is it so painful for her daughter. The invitation was already spread, the decor started to run, but the groom-to-be had run away. Hamidah exhaled a coarse breath, guiding Dera to sit down. He rubbed his daughter's arm slowly, trying to ease Dera's cries.

“Im sorry Mother, Dera. Forgive Mommy ...” Pandu's mother, looking down with a sad face. He tried to hold back the tears, but could not.

“Mother doesn't know, if all this will happen. Mother failed ... Mommy failed to educate Pandu,” lirih Bunda Pandu.

Dera wept more and more, he tried to let out all the pain that befell the heart and soul. He always thought that a man like that father did not exist. However, this incident, made him rethink, that the man was the same.

“Why? Why should I? Why?!” shouted Dera hysterically.

“Honey, quiet ...” Hamidah hugged Dera's body tightly.

“Dera, Mother is sorry. Mother is very stupid, Mother is stupid to be a mother.”

“This is not your fault, but Pandu. He's a cruel man! Wh why? Why would he take care of me?!”

Dera's chest rose and fell, as a result of crying and holding back the anger that was more and more perfect. “From the many women in the world, why should I and Mom feel this pain?! Whyyy?! Where is God's justice, where?!”

“God knows which is best for you. God wants to tell you, that the man named Pandu, is not someone who is capable of being responsible for you!”

Dera's gaze shifted, the man with a firm jaw overgrown with fairly thick feathers, staring with a highlight of decisiveness.

“I'll marry Dera.” Slowly, but firmly.

“What do you mean, Daren?” ask mother.

“I really want to marry Dera. Not only want to be responsible for what Pandu did, but also save his family from the shame caused by the actions of his older brother,” said Daren.

 Hamidah. The scorn of the neighbors, there is no way there will be. However, forcing this marriage to continue with different brides is not the best solution. Dera's heart had just been broken, there was no way Hamidah was selfish to destroy it back.

“No need. Just let this marriage be void, because I do not want to force my son to continue,” lontar Hamidah firmly.

“But true said Daren, Buk Hamidah. I don't want everyone to put you down, I really feel very guilty.”

“All happened.” Hamidah is trying to toughen up.

Since Dera was silent, Vera kept wiping her cousin's arm. Trying to give strength to the famously cheerful girl, but Vera knew, this matter was not trivial.

“I want this wedding continue.” Dera open the sound.

“Whoever is his successor, I don't care. The point is this marriage must continue,” continued Dera.

Because of his father's affair, the mother became the subject of conversation. Accused of not being a wife. Dera does not want, because her marriage is void, making the mother get a lot of scorn again. Really, Dera couldn't bear it if it happened. So let her sacrifice her heart, for the mother who sacrificed her life to give birth to her.

“Prepare yourself. Two more days, the marriage will take place, with me as a potential successor. Darren Algra.”
