Not Just a Substitute Husband
Mister Joseph

A week has passed, Chandra is currently accompanying Mr. Joseph to go out of town. Since leaving, Chandra's feelings continue to feel uneasy and Chandra has no idea why her heart is so agitated.

Upon arrival in Bandung, Chandra rests first in the car. Mr. Yusuf, meanwhile, was meeting his client inside the restaurant.

While resting, Chandra's phone rang. Quickly Chandra picked up the phone that turned out to be from her mother.

"Hello, Mum...."

"Don...." There was the sound of Isak crying Bu Meli on the other end of the phone.

"What's up, Mom? Why are you crying?" Chandra's feelings became erratic hearing her mother cry and the disturbing feeling she had felt was getting stronger.

"Russia, Chan...." Bu Meli's voice was heard faltering and Bu Meli's cry was so heartbreaking.

"Why Riri, Mom?"

"Riri died...." Ms. Meli was sobbing.

"What?" Without feeling his tears dripping and it feels right now also Chandra wants to directly meet Riri for the last time, but whatever the power, he is currently outside the city.

"Mom... Chandra's trying to get Chandra's boss permission to go back to Jakarta."

"Yes, kid. I'm waiting for you."

After that, the phone connection died. Chandra got out of the car and went to look for Mr. Joseph.

"Sorry sir, I'm interrupting. Can I talk to you for a second, sir?" Chandra said, then Mr. Yusuf asked his client for permission to talk to Chandra outside the restaurant.

"What are you talking about?"

"Mh... Can I go back to Jakarta now? The thing... My sister died." Chandra spoke very carefully, for Joseph's master was very unhappy when his work was interrupted.

"Died?"

"Yes, sir. Can I go back to Jakarta?" chandra said with a pleading look.

"If you go back to Jakarta now, who do I go home with? You will return to Jakarta. Just tell your mother to hold off your sister from being buried," replied master Joseph without thinking about Chandra's feelings.

"But, sir...."

"There's no buts! Already, you just follow what I say!"

The words of Joseph's master were not to be rebutted. Chandra just resigned and obeyed the words of master Joseph, even though he was overwhelmed with sadness.

"There! You wait again in the car. " Tell Joseph, shaking his hand, and Joseph went back into the restaurant.

Chandra let out a faint sigh and rubbed her face. "Sir, sorry...." Lirih Chandra, who failed, was able to return quickly to Jakarta.

Chandra immediately called her mother and the first ring, immediately picked up by Ms. Meli.

"Hello, kid. How's it? Are you allowed to go home?" This time her mother no longer cried, but her mother's voice still sounded sad.

"Sorry, Mom. Chandra can't go home." Chandra Sesal.

"It's okay, I understand. If that's why I hang up the phone, I have to take care of Riri's funeral."

"Yes, kid. Just finish your job first and don't think too much about it" continued Ms. Meli.

After ending the call, Chandra slowly took a breath away, reducing the tightness in her chest.

***

Chandra thought, after his work, Mr. Yusuf could immediately return to Jakarta, but it turned out that Mr. Yusuf chose to stay at the hotel and did not care about his grieving situation.

Chandra has also confirmed Riri's departure, though she cannot see him one last time. Chandra can only pray for Riri and hope that Riri is calm in nature there.

Chandra stared at the ceiling of the hotel room with a sad look. Chandra recalls a moment of togetherness with his beloved sister and a drop of tears fell, reminiscing about the younger brother.

The sound of knocking on the door blew his daydream. Chandra opens the door immediately.

"Chandra, come with me out."

"Good, sir. I'll take the jacket first" replied Chandra.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you in the lobby."

Chandra nodded and immediately grabbed his jacket. Chandra and Yusuf are already in the car.

"Sorry, sir. Where are we going?" Ask Chandra, because up to this moment Mr. Joseph has not told you where to go.

"We go to Sukajadi street."

Chandra nodded and immediately directed his car to the Sukajadi area. Arriving there, Chandra is directed to a luxury complex and stops at a large and luxurious house.

"You wait here." The orders of Joseph.

"Yes, sir."

Mr. Joseph immediately got out of the car and his arrival was welcomed by a beautiful woman, whose age was not far from Sonya.

Almost four hours Chandra waited for Joseph on the porch, even Chandra was sleepy waiting for Joseph.

After a long wait, Joseph finally came out with a little boy in his arms. The beautiful woman also led Joseph to his house.

"Turn back to the hotel...." Master Yusuf said, but the woman only scowled the manyun.

"Don't sulk. Tomorrow morning we will return here again" continued Mr. Yusuf.

"But promise, tomorrow has to come here again." The woman said with a firm tone.

"Yes, I promise." Then Joseph turned his gaze to the little boy he was carrying.

"Darling, Om go home first."

"Yes, papa." Answer the little boy.

Chandra was stunned to hear the little boy's words. "Papa?" Gumam Chandra, then Chandra again saw the interaction between Mr. Joseph and the little boy. Both look very familiar.

Has Joseph had an affair and produced a child from his affair?
