The Substitute Woman on the First Night

Happy reading!

Now only my mother was with me in the room. While Mas Denis went with Almira to have lunch outside. There was nothing I could do but shut up and endure all the resentment in me without being able to vent it at all. Especially when he saw Almira holding my husband's hand so affectionately when he came out of the room. I know for a fact that Almira deliberately did it just to make me jealous. The same thing I did when I kissed Mas Denis in front of him in the hospital.

In the midst of my never-ending rage, suddenly my mother thrust a cell phone. But from what I saw, the flat object was not mine. That means, Almira also switched our phones. He was very lucky because I was the type of person who did not like to use the lock screen on my phone. So, he can more freely use the phone without having to ask the password to open it.

"This was a phone call from your college friend, but Mom had time to talk to him if you were admitted to this hospital. So, maybe he'll come here to see you."

"Who, Ma?" I was curious, though I was lazy to know who my mother meant.

"Delano."

"Oh that guy who came to the house a few days ago, Mom?" I asked spontaneously when the name spoken by my mother can be remembered clearly.

Mom looked at me with a full glance. I don't know what he had in mind, but I guessed right away that I was wrong.

"Geez, I'm released. I am now Mira. So, I shouldn't have said that, "my mind was trying to shift its eyes while my mother was still looking at my face suspiciously

"Don't tell me you're exchanging roles right now."

That sentence really made my tongue feel faint. I was at a loss to say anything other than a small laugh to cover up my nervousness. "What did mom say? Exchanging what positions?" my question was quickly evaded.

"Oh about that. I also know from Lissa's sister, Mom."

My mother was silent for a moment. Like I was remembering something in his mind. "Mom always forbid you to switch positions for any reason. You remember, right? You used to change positions just to avoid subjects you didn't like at school. So, I don't like it if you do that because you're the same sister you are identical twins. Anyone would have a hard time recognizing which one is Almira and Alissa, including her own mother. The one who gave birth to you both."

"We're all grown up now, Mom. So, we wouldn't be able to switch roles like when we were in school. I don't have to think weird!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mira, I'm just afraid you're doing that again. Oh yeah, I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a second, okay, I'm staying?"

"Yes, Mom, it's nothing. Anyway, the bathroom is still in this room, ma'am."

After the departure of mother to the bathroom, I also began to hold back the phone Almira that I had put on the bed when mother gave it. No whatever whatsapp messages I saw, surely Almira has deleted everything. Even in the gallery of the cell phone I was currently holding, I did not find any photos at all. All is completely empty there is only music and some messages from the provider that inform the active period of the card on this phone.

"Why did Mira do that before giving me this phone? What is he hiding? Weird ...." I was still inexhaustible and kept fiddling with my twin sister's phone until I found something that stunned me for a while. How not, I read a message that just came in and the contents of the message really surprised me.

Delano: Please give me a chance to take responsibility for my mistakes that night, Mira.

The message that made me instantly think that it was possible that Almira had been lying to me all along?
