Not Just a Substitute Husband
New place

After traveling for hours, Chandra is finally in the village of one of his relatives. They arrived when the sun had already started to rise.

Chandra stopped his car right in front of his relatives' house. Chandra turned his head to the side and woke up Sonya who during the trip was just asleep.

"Non... Wake up, we're there." While shaking Sonya's shoulder.

"Hmmm...." Sonya blinked her eyes. "It's over...."

"Yes. Let's go down."

Chandra and Sonya got out of the car. Sonya circulated her gaze in a new place, a place that was not much different from before.

"Where are we?" Ask Sonya.

"In my brother's village, Non." Chandra answered, and Chandra immediately stepped into his brother's house.

Tok to tok.

Chandra knocks on the open door and Chandra's nephew comes out holding the baby.

"Mas Chandra?" The Goddess was surprised. Chandra smiled broadly at the Goddess.

"Dam...! There's Mas Chandra!" Shouting Goddess. Her mother Dewi immediately approached her and was surprised to see Chandra coming to her house.

"Oh my God, Chandra... In and out." Ask aunt Yanti.

Chandra and Sonya enter, and Chandra kisses Yanti's aunt's hand, and Sonya kisses Yanti's aunt's hand.

"Who is this?" Ask Aunt Yanti to Sonya.

"He's my wife, Bi. Her name is Sonya."

"God's Masya... How beautiful your wife, Chan, is" said aunt Yanti.

Sonya smiled and blushed at the praise from aunt Yanti. Somehow her heart felt so proud to be Chandra's wife.

"O yes... How's Mba Meli doing?"

"Mom's good news, but... If Riri had died a few months ago," said Chandra sadly.

"Riri died?"

"Yes...." Chandra replied, nodding his head slowly and Chandra's face turned grim.

"You are patient... Sorry, aunt doesn't know about Riri."

"It's okay, Bi. The important thing is to pray that Riri be placed in heaven."

"Aamiin...."

After talking with his aunt, Chandra and Sonya are now told to rest in the room. Chandra who drove the car overnight has now fallen into a dreamland. Sonya looked at the peaceful face of Chandra, her heart warmed to see Chandra.

Thank you for always being there for me and you always take care of me. Without you, I might still be in fear. May you be with me forever.

Then Sonya fell down beside Chandra and kept looking at Chandra's face. Sonya wrapped her hands around Chandra's stomach and closed her eyes to sleep.

***

In the afternoon, Chandra woke up to hear the voice of the Adhan Dzuhur. Chandra was surprised to see Sonya sleeping beside him.

"Non Sonya's pity, definitely Non is very tired." Chandra muttered, who then removed Sonya's hand from her body.

Chandra came out of the room and got ready to go to the mosque.

Sonya blinked her eyes as she felt her cheeks on the soft elus by someone. Sonya smiled at Chandra, as did Chandra who also smiled sweetly at her.

"Wake up, it's time for lunch" said Chandra softly.

"Yes," replied Sonya who immediately stood up.

After the prayers, Sonya joins the Chandra family for lunch.

"Eat a lot. Especially if you are pregnant again, surely the inn wants to eat continuously," said aunt Yanti.

"Yes, Bi" replied Sonya.

Sonya is now used to the village-style food and it tastes really good on the tongue.

After lunch, Chandra sat down with her uncle Mang Supri.

"Mang, actually Chandra came here to live in this village. About not in this village renting out his house?"

Mang Supri remembered, a few seconds later Mang Supri smiled.

"I think there is, but it's different from RT. How, you want to?"

"By, Mang. If we can go there today, too," said Chandra.

Chandra and Mang Supri immediately leave for the house to be rented. Arriving there, Chandra met the owner of the house, then saw his house.

"Where? Do you want to rent this house?" Ask mang Supri.

"Yes, mang. I want to take this house."

"When do you want to call it?" Ask the owner of the house.

"Today's the end" replied Chandra.

"If so, the house wants me to clean first. Let the mas will stay only four years," said the owner of the house.

By nightfall, Chandra and Sonya immediately occupied the house and happened to have a mattress and closet.

The two are between by aunt Yanti and mang Supri. Sonya does not mind her not big residence, which is important she is always with Chandra.

"Hopefully you will stay here" said aunt Yanti, after looking over her house.

"Yes, Bi" replied Sonya.

"This. Aunty bring you dinner, don't forget to eat later?"

"Yes, Bi. Thanks...."

"Come, Sir. We're going home, Chandra and Sonya are going to rest." Take aunt Yanti who was immediately taken by her husband.

After the return of Yanti's aunt and Supri's mang, Sonya is now cleaning her clothes in the room. Chandra sat down next to Sonya.

"Already, don't clean up. Let me do it later, Non," Chandra said, preventing Sonya's hand movements.

"It's okay. This is my job as a wife."

Chandra is stunned to hear Sonya's words and this is the first time Sonya has said she is his wife.

"I'm not-." Suddenly Sonya placed her index finger on Chandra's lips.

"From now on you get used to calling me and you. It is inappropriate for a husband to call his wife Non. You know, right?"

"Mmmaass?" Chandra Chicki.

"From now on I'll call you, too, Mas" said Sonya.

"Alright...."

Sonya smiled, and Sonya put her head on Chandra's shoulder.

"Thank you, because Mas always took care of me," said Sonya and Chandra just nodded her head.

Sonya then kissed Chandra's cheek and it made Chandra's heart skip a beat, as if to jump out of place.
