I'm Just a Substitute
Mutually suspect

Eden was really upset by Tiara's behavior which he thought was getting childish. Though all this time Tiara more obedient, relented and always meek, also always mature.

But the Tiara he met today was very different. When bi Ana and bi Mery were in the dining room and preparing dinner, Eden immediately announced Tiara's pregnancy. Aunt Mery was so happy to hear the news. "Your father would be happy if he heard this news!", said Mery gladly. Nugroho had not yet come out of his room, usually around that hour Nugroho was still watching the news on television, after all bi Ana was still preparing side dishes on the dining table.

Bi Ana, who had listened, was also happy and congratulated the couple.

"Bi Mery, bi Ana, please be able to pay more attention to Tiara better when I work huh. Do not be allowed to go out as he pleases, if he wants to go, if he can be accompanied, do not let out on his own. I hope Aunt Mery can help me pay attention to Tiara. Tiara was a bit careless, just now the road almost fell" Eden said.

"Duh! Why can you be careless so Tiara. be more careful huh!", said aunt Mery worried. "Auntie will definitely pay more attention to Tiara, Eden", continued bi Mery.

"Tiara, are you okay?", asked Aunt Ana to approach Tiara.

"Ah.no bi, I'm not why-why koq. Eden exaggerated the problem too much! He just wants to lock me up and not let me go as I used to!', said Tiara got up from her seat, then turned in front of bi Ana.

Eden who was still standing, immediately caught Tiara's arm, "You think you're a ballet dancer? wear everything in a circle? How will our baby be dizzy? Be careful if there is anything with your content" said Eden staring resentfully at Tiara.

"See bi! Eden from earlier scolded me constantly! She just wants her child, she doesn't want me anymore!", Tiara said with teary eyes. "Bi Mery I want to go back to my father's house, I can't stand living with Eden if that attitude continues!", Tiara said wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

Bi Mery and bi Ana look at each other confused, seeing the usually harmonious couple was quarrelling.

...********...

"What is this?", asked Nugroho who suddenly appeared in the dining room. Nugroho felt strange with the atmosphere that seemed to be tense, everything was still standing.

"Tiara is pregnant again mas" said Bi Mery who immediately took Nugroho to sit in the dining chair.

"Is it really Eden?", asked Nugroho.

"Yes well", said Eden briefly.

"Well what is this? we should all be happy, because soon our family members will grow. But your koq seems to be so tense?", asked Nugroho puzzled, moreover he felt like Tiara had finished crying.

"It's well, I felt Tiara was a bit careless, so I asked bi Mery to pay more attention to her, but she felt I was curbing her" Eden said.

"Tiara, Eden behaves like that because he cares about you, you don't think Eden is holding you back" Nugroho advised Tiara.

"Yes well", said Tiara according, because Tiara did feel reluctant to Nugroho, but in his heart thought otherwise, "You are his father, you must defend him. It's free to say anything, I'm the loser!"

The thought that eventually made Tiara even more hate Eden. Tiara is not aware that the hormones that are increasing due to being pregnant are fluctuating, making her feel hate for Eden, especially because of her curiosity in Eden lately.

...********...

Eden clenched his hands in his frustration, when he saw that Tiara had finished eating, but did not touch the side dish he had scooped for Tiara. Eden, who is also a layman about pregnant women, thought Tiara was deliberately against him because she had found her diary.

"Or else his amnesia has healed, and he's about to go with Rico again. Otherwise, why does he seem to hate me so much? And from that moment he wanted to go home?", thought Eden in a suspicious heart.

"I am not lustful with the side dishes that you take" replied Tiara who did not think the answer was misunderstood by Eden. But the offended Eden didn't say anything, this time he just kept it in his heart, because there were a lot of people in that space.

"I went up first, there was something I wanted to do well" Eden told Nugroho and did not turn to Tiara again, then walked out of the dining room.

Tiara just stared at Eden's departure with a disappointed heart."He left me alone, and did not wait for me to go upstairs together. Basic tega! I was pregnant not more dear, but diomelin continues", thought Tiara.

"You are patient Tiara, sometimes when Eden is doing a lot of innate work easy emotions" said aunt Mery comforting, she could feel the disappointment of Tiara.

Tiara just nodded in embarrassment.

...********...

Up in the room Eden sat at his desk and daydreamed, not looking at the screen that was open. Eden tried to hold back his anger to face Tiara, so he chose to avoid being rude.

"I'm actually guilty of lying to her, but I did it for the good of our relationship. Why is it so hard to suppress my emotions? Why did I leave him under myself and not wait for him to ride together, just out of emotion", Eden said.

Eden finally looked at the monitor screen to distract her chaotic thoughts.

But Eden started to unsettle when the clock showed at half-eight Tiara had not yet returned to the room.

...********...

Tiara, who felt that Eden did not care, chose to help bi Ana tidy up the dining table rather than having to go back to the room. Nugroho and Mery are no longer in the dining room.

"You should immediately go back to the room to rest, do not get too tired if you are pregnant" advised Bi Ana.

"No koq bi, I am not tired, just want to move after eating too full" said Tiara reasoned.

"Yes, aunt understands. But later if anything happens to you, Eden can blame aunty" said Ana who understood that Tiara was angry at Eden and seemed to be avoiding Eden.

"Sometimes fighting is a common thing that happens to husband and wife, especially you are still a young couple and married not long ago. You don't have to avoid Eden, just be normal and go back to the room, most Eden will behave as usual again to you!", Bi Ana advised Tiara.

"Alright bi, then I go back to the room first" said Tiara.

"Well that's dong!", said Bi Ana happy. "I am indeed suitable to be called Cupid', thought Ana happy.

...********...

But Ana's pleasure soon breaks, when Eden reappears in the dining room.

"Bi Ana, where is Tiara? koq hasn't gone upstairs?", asked Eden.

Seriate......
