KAYLA, The Substitute
Child with back number 7

Kayla shook her head.

"Huh, it seems like my ears are having problems" muttered Kayla herself who felt like she heard her ex-husband's voice.

Waiting for the elevator to open again, the beautiful widow received a call from someone who was able to publish her smile again which had been dimmed by the shakes of her chest earlier.

The Gilangnya called. Immediately Kayla received with a sweet greeting.

All the cake orders got to the order well, he had to go back to the store because there was one more order to take care of, he became in a hurry considering his son was competing at the moment, he did not want to miss the moment Adrian who began to hone his talent in the field of football.

Although it was late at least Kayla had to come to support her son who competed in the final of the inter-school football tournament.

On the other hand, Dev looked at the clock on his wrist. After he became a speaker at his friend's recently completed campus seminar, he immediately got out of the hotel where the seminar was headed for his car.

It turns out that the man who feels at home as a lecturer has promised to meet his old friend who is now a famous private school principal in this city, as well as eliminating fatigue after struggling with seminar materials.

Dev parked his car in the parking lot of a crowded elementary school because there was a children's football game going on.

The man seemed to develop a smile as he saw so many old disciples present there watching their son compete. Dev shook his head while chuckling at the sight of one of the student's excited parents in one corner.

"All parents will be excited when it comes to SD children, huh so remember childhood," murmured Dev laughed to himself, he pulled the phone out of his pants pocket and seemed to contact someone.

After being given a hint, Dev just went to the football field belonging to his best friend's School, coincidentally the game was resting before the second half.

"Hi man!" greet a man patting Dev's shoulder who was looking for someone.

"Ah shit you surprised me Andre!" sahut Dev who immediately salaman on his old friend.

"Sorry, let's get here the second game will start soon."

"You should have hosted me at home instead of at school like this" Dev protested as he followed Andre's steps.

"You don't see, it's a final. I can't leave this game, it's your fault why you're here, if it wasn't for the seminar maybe you wouldn't have come to my little town."

Dev chuckled, "You're too much, not unwilling to play here. My schedule is busy, teaching and thesis guidance, all the things that grab my attention are on campus."

They talk to each other about their respective activities, friends since childhood are now sitting on the podium of the audience devoted to the teachers and principals.

Dev sat next to Andre. They spoke normally until Andre pointed to one child who entered the team competing against his school.

"You know what's interesting about me telling you to come here?" cetus Andre's.

"What?"

Dev.

"Don't you feel like he looked like you as a kid, Dev swears I remember your face as a kid. The kid duplicates you, take a good look," Andre said as he shook his head.

Deg deg deg, when he turned to look at the handsome face of the tiny boy numbered 7 back according to Andre's direction it really made Dev surprised not play.

Dev glanced at Andre in confusion.

"Like, right? The way he rolled Dev's eyes, I remember once you were a kid too. I was also surprised, the previous match I had never attended so today I first saw it, I just didn't expect anything to really resemble you as a kid, I think it's funny!"

Dev looked again at the face of the boy who began to compete in the second round.

Somehow his feelings became different at this time, the sweaty face of the child reminded Dev of the moment he played ball as a child.

"It's not natural that if we look like other people, there's a lot of similar things in this world, it's just that I saw you as a kid in that kid, really Dev I was just wondering if you had an affair other than your wife to have children?" cetus Andre joked.

Deg, Dev's heart seems to stop hearing the babbling of his best friend. His feelings became more erratic when he saw clearly on the child's face. Every now and then he saw Kayla's side there, staring at the boy's face from the side, Kayla's look was clearly reflected in Dev's brain right now.

"Ah is impossible" Dev murmured to himself.

Andre heard it become a laugh, "What is impossible? You don't deny Dev, does that really mean that you have a daughter with a mistress other than Nika?"

Dev looked at Andre again, he did not deny the words of Andre who continued to tease him in surprise.

"I'm just kidding, man, no offense!" said Andre patting Dev's back while chuckling.

Then they refocused on the game, but not Dev. He was busy looking at Adrian's face.

Yes, the 7-year-old son is Adrian son of Kayla and Dev from their past relationship.

Really Dev is interested in the boy, it's unique to think why there can be children who really similar to him as a child, Andre really they are very similar to each other.

Dev becomes a smile in his heart when he imagines how happy he is to have such a handsome son, especially from a mother like an ex-wife who still makes him fail to move on to this day.

Not much is known about Dev and Nika's married life to this day. What is certain is that Dev has not been able to forget the figure of a replacement who managed to bring his heart along to go somewhere even now has 6 years passed.

Dev remembered his wife, he sent Nikayla a message.

'Don't forget to take your medicine this afternoon, I'll be home tomorrow. There is something interesting I want to tell you later, Dev wrote in his message, followed by a sentence that reminds Nika to go to the hospital on the chemotherapy schedule tomorrow.
