MY MOTHER'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE
Episode 150's

"Hanum, what's wrong with you?" Afkar asked as he shook the body of the girl next to him.

Her tears did not stop flowing, what else as the arrogant man beside her shook her shoulders.

"Hanum."

"I'm okay, sir." Hanum answered while wiping his tears.

Afkar got out of the car, the man walked towards the street-side drinking vendor, as he looked back at his pale face trying to smile. The man gave the bottle he had opened to Hanum.

"Have you ever been traumatized?" ask Afkar while sending a message to Satya.

"Never, sir. Just ...." Said Hanum stalled as Afkar hugged his body.

"Be quiet, back when I was scared my mom always gave her a warm hug like this" she said.

Hanum's body immediately stiffened, because only this time he was in the arms of a man other than his Father and Sister. His heart was pounding fast, he was sure the man who was hugging him felt as well. Afkar let go of his embrace as his phone rang.

"We picked up Mr. Satya first, yes" he said while reviving his car.

Hanum did not reply, the girl was still so shocked at the incident just now. Now cars driven by Afkar split the capital's street crowd. After forty-five minutes the car that Arga's assistant was driving reached the front of the mall where Satya and Dusk were waiting for him.

Hanum gets off soon, when Satya and Dusk are about to get in the car. Seeing that Afkar just shook his head.

"Come in!" her word.

"But Mr ...." Hanum stopped his words as Afkar looked at him sharply.

The girl finally came back again sitting next to Afkar, while Dusk smiled sincerely as his eyes met Hanum. The car drove back to the Yoga house at Satya's request.

"Af, next week I have to go back to Surabaya, so your office business is handle," he said while rubbing the stomach of Dusk.

"Yes sir" he answered while focusing on driving his car.

"Sister Afkar, why not be introduced? who's she?" ask Dusk with a smile.

"That's not important, ma'am," Afkar replied.

"Hi, who said it didn't matter!" shouted Dusk angrily, he most disliked if there were women not appreciated.

"What's your name?" ask Dusk to Hanum.

"I'm Hanum, Madam," he replied.

"Don't call me Madam, I'm not that old as Hanum, even our age doesn't seem so far away." His word.

Satya just silently listened to what the wife said, while Afkar several times had to swallow his saliva when Dusk looked at him sharply, once in a while the pregnant woman hit the arm of Afkar who was driving the car at moderate speed.

Before long the car has entered the gate of the house owned by Yoga, along with the arrival of Yoga and Mentari who just arrived.

"Where are you from?" tanya Tari looked at her son.

"Look on, Mom." He answered while looking at Hanum who was standing beside Afkar.

"Af, you just go home, but you deliver Hanum first, yes" he continued, holding Dusk's hand to enter the house.

"Okay sir" he replied, and the man got into the car followed by Hanum.

"Sir, I'm down at the front corner, just" he said.

"Why?"

Afkar continued to drive his car, the man did not heed the words of the girl beside him. Hanum could only take a deep breath, he wished for this cold assistant next to him.

"We'll eat first, remember don't run away again!" he stopped his car in front of the restaurant.

"Sir, I still have this" he said as he showed the package from the restaurant.

"It must be cold, Come on I'm hungry." Bring along.

Afkar only took a breath when the girl did not come down as well, she again got into the car. He stared at Hanum who was crying without him knowing what the cause was.

"Why?" her tan was gentle while wiping the free-flowing tears on Hanum's smooth face.

"The father doesn't know, does he? I spent my money for this month just buying this!" he said while showing the package in his hand.

"Keep what's the connection?' tanya Afkar was frustrated.

"I have to walk home and go to work this month, and this is one last sheet of money until the end of payday."

"If you hadn't invited me to eat at a Japanese restaurant earlier, I would still be able to eat rice until the end of the month."

"Father if you want to eat, just eat there. I want to go home, and thank you for the ride" he explained after that Hanum got out of the car.

Afkar just stared at the back of the girl who was walking away, he finally drove his car to his apartment.

"Am I being too cruel to him, I mean the last money?'

The man was busy with the words said by Hanum earlier, until the car he was driving arrived at his apartment. Afkar immediately ordered food online because he was so hungry.

***

In the narrow room a girl was lying thinking about her life, the work of being an OB she had to do for the sake of both her parents in the village. Surviving in the city really makes it as frugal as possible.

Today it is as if he had forgotten the word frugal, when he had to pay for expensive food that until now has not been touched. It felt like he could display the super expensive food.

"Basin' a shitty guy!" his grunts recalled Afkar who told him to pay for his own food earlier.

Feeling sultry, Hanum immediately picked up a towel and entered the bathroom. He looked at his face in the mirror, then closed his eyes remembering that tomorrow he had to go to work on foot.

After fifteen minutes the girl had finished cleaning her body, because she was so hungry she finally opened the package on the table, her eyes immediately glared at the sight of the raw fish there were several pieces.

"Oh my God, this is raw fish."

Hanum immediately went to the kitchen to get the raw fish, which only amounted to three pieces, did not wait long he fried it. His lips were unceasingly chattering at the cuisine that made his wallet instantly arid earlier.

After all presented, then he began to eat so delicious maybe because he was so hungry from noon had not eaten anything.

Hanum who was curious about the food he had bought immediately searched the internet, his eyes immediately widened when he found out the name of the food he had spent.

"Tuna Sashimi." He said while looking at the photo on his phone.

Hanum chuckled, as he thought that the restaurant was stingy just giving three pieces of fish turned out there was a reason for the tradition in Japan to present an odd number of pieces of sashimi on a plate called mukozuke, which is not unusual, because it is considered unlucky if it has an even number. Sashimi is often mistaken for another popular Japanese dish, sushi, a dish made with raw fish and vinegar rice.

Hanum just sighed, he better eat with salted fish alone than raw food, for him it will make him nauseous later.
