Just a Substitute
Chapter 34's

Raka no longer knows where to look for Shanum, she forgets to have one more friend, Lia. A friend who is so thick with Shanum, and already like a brother himself.

"Where are you, Shanum? There's no way you're in the store, right?" Raka muttered worriedly.

He hasn't been looking for his wife to the store, probably Shanum there. At the branch store that Raka doesn't know where it is. He was really sorry for never knowing about that branch store.

Again Raka hit the steering wheel, venting his emotions. While hoping under the twilight umbrella, he went to Shanum's shop. Time and again Raka sighed, throwing off the sense that was piling up in the heart.

He will no longer do that, just once because he does not want the events like this to happen again. Shanum is very good at disappearing, making him fear of loss. The car arrived in front of the shop, unseen Shanum's usual figure sitting at the cashier's desk.

"Where's Shanum?" raka asked Wati who happened to be on guard to stop her superior.

"Mom didn't come to the store today, sir. Mother said she wanted to rest at home because of soy sauce," replied Wati with a confused look that was obvious.

"Don't lie to you!" Raka did not trust his wife's employee. He broke into the storage room, nobody was there.

Unsatisfied, Raka went to the side to Shanum's wet cake shop. Just enter the kitchen where the cake is made. Still, Shanum wasn't found there.

"What's up, sir? Ms. Shanum didn't come to the store today because she needed a break." Speech from one of Shanum's employees further strengthened Wati's statement.

The desperate and almost frustrated Raka went out without a word. Get back in the car, roaring alone. Unknowingly Raka shed tears, crying over her stupidity.

He decided to return home, waiting for Shanum there. He wished his wife was at home waiting for him. The car arrived at the parking lot, Raka was stunned to see the state of the house was already brightly lit.

Rush inside while shouting to call the name of the wife.

"Shanon! Shanum! You go home, Sha!" Like a desperate person, Raka shouted in a trembling voice.

He opened the door of the room, his tears had seen a figure wrapped in white cloth prostrating on the prayer mat. Raka's body fell in the doorway, sobbing tears vented her anxiety.

Shanum was not at all disturbed, he continued his three-rakaat prayer even though the sound of Raka's crying was quite disturbing. The woman finished her prayer, then turned to look at Raka who was roaring while banging on the floor.

"Raka, what's wrong with you? Any problems at the store?" tanya Shanum made Raka look up, he did not even move from the prayer mat as if intentionally letting Raka come to him.

Sure enough, the man crept towards Shanum and fell on his wife's lap.

"I'm happy to take you everywhere. I'm worried, I'm afraid you're okay, Shanum." Raka began to fuss over the anxiety that had plagued her heart since noon.

"I'm not going anywhere. I went to Lia's house, I haven't been there in a long time" Shanum replied calmly.

Raka who was crying on her lap looked up, looking at the beautiful and shady face of the wife with her wet eyes.

"Why don't you know me? I also called your number is not active," asked Raka as she moved from his wife's lap.

Shanum looked up at the nightstand, revealing his phone that was charging.

"My phone's running out of battery, it's getting charged." Shanum seemed indifferent, his attitude was cold as usual.

Raka came to see, her throat suddenly felt dry. Saliva sipped with difficulty when he did not get sympathy from the pregnant woman. He held Shanum's hand warmly, the woman flinching at his indifferent attitude.

"You why? If anything says the same to me. Do not kayak gini," said Raka made Shanum's forehead frown at it.

"Why? I'm not okay, really. I helped Lia out at her house because she was home. Go to the store already licensed. You haven't prayed, have you? Pray there. Maghrib is just a little time," she said, stopping an uncomfortable conversation with her husband.

He didn't want to talk about what happened that day. Shanum took off Raka's hand, stood up and opened his face to keep it. All of that can not be separated from the attention of Raka.

"Well, what, even daydream? Prayer will not be finished if you just dream." Shanum shook his head, then exited the room to prepare dinner.

"Where are you going?" asked Raka in a loud voice.

"You go to the kitchen. I'm Laper to eat. Don't eat all? Did you eat out?" sindir Shanum made Raka gulp.

The man shook his head and there was no way he could refuse his wife's cooking. Without saying another word, Shanum went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. What's in the refrigerator.

Shanum even immediately ate once the cooking was done. He had no intention of waiting for Raka to come, and let the man eat by himself.

"Aren't you waiting for me?" ask Raka wonder.

"I'm a laper. So, eat first. I'm first, tired of taking a break." Shanum got up and left Raka at the dinner table.

It became a dream for that man.
