Not Just a Substitute Husband

Not Just a Substitute Husband
Stay at Chandra's house


Chandra and Mr. Yusuf return to the hotel and, on the way to the hotel, Chandra continues to think about Mr. Yusuf who has betrayed his wife and Chandra wonders for herself, how long had he betrayed his wife.


Chandra was really unexpected, behind his haughty attitude it turns out that master Joseph kept a big secret that was unknown to his son and wife.


What if Madam Puspa finds out about the behavior of the master behind her? Madam must be very disappointed. Thought Chandra.


While Mr. Yusuf who was sitting in the back seat, was smiling while staring at the screen of his phone, making Chandra shake his head, when he glanced at Mr. Yusuf from the rearview mirror.


Arriving at the hotel, Chandra wants to immediately rest his body and hope that tomorrow morning Mr. Yusuf invites him back to Jakarta. So that he can immediately make a pilgrimage to Riri's tomb.


Chandra was about to fall asleep, but the ringing of her phone pulled back into the conscious. Lazily Chandra picks up her phone, which turns out to be from Sonya.


"Hello...." Chandra answered in a soft voice.


"Chan, I went to the hospital to look at your sister, but how come I got there your sister is not there? Is your sister home yet?"


"My brother has come home, but... For all eternity."


"You mean?"


"My sister is dead" Chandra replied in a soft voice.


"Where are you going now?"


"Still in Bandung."


"Your sister is dead, but you're in Bandung!" Sonya Sulu.


"How else. Master won't let me go home soon."


"But tomorrow you're back in Jakarta, right?"


"Hopefully."

Early in the morning Chandra was ready with his work to escort Joseph. Behind the wheel, Chandra let out a faint sigh as master Joseph told him to go to the house of the woman whom master Joseph had met last night. He was very eager to return to Jakarta.


Arriving there, Joseph immediately went out and the woman immediately embraced Joseph and landed her kiss for Joseph. Chandra who was in the car could only pay attention to it, shaking her head.


"Pity of Madame Puspa. His loyalty must be avenged by betrayal" muttered Chandra, who was inexhaustible by the conduct of master Joseph.


Time was getting late and the sun was burning to rule the earth, but the master of Joseph until this moment had not appeared out of his house.


Chandra, who is just a driver, can only stroke his chest waiting for his master to come out.


"Master, until when should I wait. Did you forget that yesterday my sister died." Chandra complained to himself. If not for the sense of responsibility for his work, Chandra has come home from yesterday.


After many hours of waiting, finally master Joseph came out as well and accompanied by his woman. There were bright smiles from both of them and this time the master of Joseph with the woman was getting more friendly, even the master of Joseph did not hesitate to land a kiss on the face of his woman.


"Mas go home first" said Joseph.


"Yes, but in two weeks I promise to come again" he said.


Chandra was finally able to break free from his boredom waiting for Joseph. Just imagine, Chandra was waiting for him from morning until afternoon.


Now the car driven by Chandra breezed out of Mr. Yusuf's mistress' house and drove back to Jakarta.


***


The sun was already setting, when the car driven by Chandra entered the courtyard of Mr. Joseph's luxurious mansion. Chandra chose to return home immediately. Chandra was ready to get out of his employer's house by riding his motorcycle, but someone called him and Chandra stopped the bike.


"Chandra, wait!" call Sonya.


"What's up, Non?" ask Chandra.


"I want to come with you." Said Sonya who is now riding into a motorbike.


"Come? Don't come with me in clothes like that?" Chandra pointed at Sonya's pretty revealing clothes. Sonya wore a mini dress half-thigh with a V collar shaped top that showed her chest slightly exposed.


"What happened to my clothes?"


"Non clothes are inappropriate. I mean Non's clothes are too open if Non wants to come to my house. Don't know for yourself, if at home I'm doing tahlilan." Chandra Imbuh.


Sonya also noticed her clothes which she thought were ordinary.


"So I have to change clothes with my clothes covered?"


Chandra nodded small. "alright. Wait a...." His words as he passed into the house.


Now Chandra's motorbike has sailed out of the house of Mr. Joseph with Sonya who is now in the bonnet of the motorbike with more closed clothes.


Almost twenty minutes drive across the street, now Chandra motorbike has entered the alley to his home. Arriving in front of Chandra's house, people were seen coming out of his house.


"The story's done, huh?" Sonya Whisper.


"Yes" replied Chandra.


Then the two of them immediately entered. Chandra immediately hugged her beloved mother who was sitting accompanied by her neighbor and Ms. Meli shed her tears in Chandra's arms.


Sonya who sat next to Ms. Meli also felt the sadness of the mother and child. Riri's departure must have left a deep sense of sadness and certainly very lost it.


Sonya stroked Ms. Meli's back gently, even without realizing her tears were dripping.


"Sorry Chandra who just got home" said Chandra Lirih.


"Yes, it's okay, son," replied Ms. Meli as she stroked Chandra's arm.


"Tomorrow we go to Riri's grave huh, ma'am." Ms. Meli nodded in response.


"I'm coming, yes" said Sonya.


"May," said Ms. Meli, and that night Sonya decided to stay at Chandra's house. Although Chandra's house is simple with a small room, but Sonya still tried not to complain.
