DAD CONNECT
Chapter 23 - JEALOUSY

"Div, what happened to Mas Bram?" ask Elen.

"Can we eat outside?" ask Divine. His tone was no longer as lively as before.

Elen nodded, "may."

The two walked slowly out of the room.

"You're not ashamed, are you, if I bring a stick?" ask Divine once more.

"Gosh, no! Wh why? What's the problem with the stick? it won't diminish your charisma." Elen walked stiffly beside Divine.

"You're complimenting me? Or tease me?"

"I mean, your charisma as a CEO! I dare to flirt," sibir Elen.

If it was in the past, Divine was cold to him. Another case at this time, he was instead made chaotic with the usual attitude of Elen and tend to be indifferent.

"Jiang, Mr. Divine. Miss Elen, would you like to eat out, would you?" greet Anita.

"Hm, yeah!"

"Yes, Anita."

"It just so happens, the restaurant next to our company is having a promo and I have a discount voucher there. There are three, perhaps..."

"Me and Elen are having lunch with our son at home!" The Divine Remark drew Elen's hand hurriedly past Anita.

"What?" Anita froze on the spot, until Rafael's clapping broke her.

"Geez!"

"Why, surprised huh?"

"Sir Rafael, come!" pamit Anita was flushed, for fear that the assistant CEO would scold her.

"Wait, where was your voucher?" ask Rafael.

"This," said Anita thrusting it towards Rafael and hurriedly fled.

"Wait, you're not coming?"

"Who? Me?" anita asked to stop her steps.

"Who else? The creature next to you can't foot, I'd like to take lunch!"

Anita immediately goosebumps, and walks quickly to Rafael.

***

Divine deliberately lied to Anita by saying she was going to have lunch at home. In fact, clearly at this time he and Elen were at the recommendation resto Anita earlier. While waiting for the order to arrive, Divine chose to tap on the table with her index finger to drive away the clumsiness and awkwardness.

"Can we start?" ask Elen.

Divine frowned, she knew Elen's intention was the talk of Bram's matter. But why, that looks exactly like a very stiff chat.

"What?"

"Ehm, okay. I'm used to formal language, I'm sorry!" sighing, sometimes Elen still feels hesitant to use casual language when talking to Divine who incidentally is the CEO where he works.

"As for Bram, he was caught by the police with Noah!" divine Saying.

Deg.

Elen. Knowing the habits of the ex-husband from the past, made Elen think the day Bram was arrested must have arrived.

"I had expected that day would come!" muttered Elen quietly.

No surprise on the look of his face made Divine curious about what great thing his woman had passed.

"Noah got caught because of him..." Divine took a long breath.

"Yes, he's a user and has had frequent transactions with your ex-husband. Elen, can you hide this from Satria?"

"But not now, Elen. He's in a time of growth and introduction."

"Hm, okay. Just temporarily! Sooner or later, you might find out! Not from me, it could be from someone else" said Elen looking down lethargic.

Can't imagine if the son knew what happened to his father.

"I'm going to your parents' house, I'm going to distract Satria for a while with our relationship. In the afternoon, come to the hospital to see my grandfather!"

"Should follow?" ask Elen.

"Here we must, because..." Divine fell silent again, he could not tell Elen that Grandpa Djaja did not like him. To Divine, the most important thing was the blessing of Morena and Vijaya.

"Let's eat first," Divine said as the maids finished putting the food on their tables. Two servings of beef steak became Divine choice lunch together with Elen.

"Hm, yeah!"

"Let me cut! You eat mine first." Divine thrust her steak that had been cut into small pieces before Elen.

"Thank you, Div! I can't cut very well" Elen said.

"But you can be the best," muttered Divine without looking at Elen for fear that the woman ignored his flutter.

"Hm."

Sure enough, even the mother of one child only answered him with deheman.

In a chair not far from them, precisely in the corner of the restaurant. Rafael has lunch with Anita.

"Father if you are not angry again is actually handsome, you know" Anita praised.

"Are you praising me or telling me not to get angry?" Rafael furrowed his brows, looking at Anita.

"Em, both, sir! Oh, yes, Mr. Divine said that eating at home with children, indeed Mr. Divine is married huh?" ask Anita. He was with the Assistant CEO, no matter if he poked a little personal problems of his boss.

"It has. Do you not know?" ask Rafael.

"No, Sir!"

"The child is already big even, lucky Elen so his lover Pak Divine. Although a widower, but can be a pretty secretary!"

"Huh?" Anita was dumbstruck, feeling be go because she did not know any news about Divine being a widower, even had children.

"Look, aren't they compatible?" show Rafael a bland smile, please, pointing to Divine and Elen who were not far from them eating where Rafael and Anita saw firsthand how Divine was treating Elen starting from swapping dishes to even rubbing the corner of the secretar's dirty lips.

Raphael put his knife and fork on the table, "I am full. This food, pay you!" his firmness immediately rose to his feet and passed making Anita only able to sigh deeply.

His fate was really unlucky because Anita thought he would get a tract from the Assistant CEO, it turns out he could only dream of while wailing the contents of the wallet.

***

In the afternoon, as promised if Wijaya, Divine and Elen will visit the hospital where Djaja treated.

"Dad." Vijaya entered, along with Divine and Elen who were walking slowly behind him.

"Hm."

Morena sighed, The father of her husband did indeed slightly suck her attitude. In addition to favoritism, he also cannot appreciate others and always uses the highest caste as a benchmark for judging someone.

"Dad, this is Elen. His future wife Divine."

"Greetings grandfather, I'm Elena." Elen bowed and stretched out his hand but Djaja had no intention of responding.

Sighing, Elen realized who he was. Feeling unwelcome, she approached Morena and chatted on the sofa.

The Divine Heart felt squeezed seeing Elen being treated like that. His emotions are ready to explode on the spot if not Wijaya code it to understand the attitude of the grandfather.

"I'll just go home, yeah. Kasian Elen, after all, my presence is not important here," furious Divine.

"Div, stay a minute. Your grandfather's condition needs attention!" pinta Wijaya's.

"Ck! Isn't there Noah, the grandson of pride as well as a favorite? I'd be here if a little grandpa could appreciate Elen's whereabouts, no matter what my choice is! And that choice didn't let Djaja's grandfather approve of him!"
