GIVE ME LOVE
CHAPTERS 14. RUNNING THE BROTHER'S TRUST

The tahlilan event is over, the residents of the house have entered their respective rooms and there only live the helpers who pass clean and clean.

Mahen, lying next to his slumbering daughter, had his mind muddled as he recalled everything that had happened. For him this was like a dream, in an instant he had become a man without a wife.

Joking laughter, intimacy with Devina will no longer exist, all that is left is a sense of loneliness and deep sadness.

Mahen does not know how to live life ahead, taking care of his little daughter, alone without the person he loves so much.

A flashback to the good times with Devina kept coming to his memory. One by one, Mahen made a smile of his own.

But when remembering the fact that the wife no longer exists in this world, she was also unable to hold back her tears.

Mahen's eyes were not closed overnight, until before dawn, then he forced himself to close his eyes for a moment.

Mahen fell asleep but finally he woke up when he heard the sound of the chanting of holy verses reverberating in the mosque signifying the time of dawn worship will soon begin.

Then Mahen rushed to the bathroom, cleaned himself and ablution. But he was stunned when he found that the prayer clothes that were usually available in place every morning, now no one prepared them anymore.

For a moment Mahen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to reduce the tightness in the chest. Then she rushed to the closet where Devina used to keep her clothes.

Trivial and small things can remind Mahen how important the role of Devina in his life, especially the main moments when he is dependent on the services of the wife.

After finishing preparing, Mahen immediately came out of the room, but before leaving, he met Mbok Ijah first in the kitchen. Mahen left Annisa, who was still sleeping, to guard her until she returned from the mosque.

Papa Andara who saw his son-in-law was also ready to immediately approach and invite him to the mosque together with the men who work at his home. While the women perform worship in their respective rooms.

After finishing worship, Mama met Devani and symbok in the kitchen, he told about the last conversation between himself yesterday morning with Devina when before the accident.

Devina asks Devani to help take care of the needs of her child and husband if she cannot take care of them today.

This indicates a message or trust that indirectly Devina has hinted that she will go and it turns out for good.

Simbok who yesterday heard the conversation between Mama and Devina also agreed, then said to Devani that it was the last message for her brother.

Devani shook her head and said, "If you take care of Annisa's needs and take her to school I can Ma, but not Mahen's business. As Mama and Simbok know, we always have different opinions, so I don't want to risk interfering too much in his affairs" Devani said.

Then he continued his remark, "It's Ma, Mahen can certainly take care of his own needs and soon he will definitely find a personal assistant who will help take care of his needs," said Devani casually while preparing the frying pan.

"Non what do you want? youho...Here Non, let Simbok do the cooking! Later Non hands exposed to hot frying pan," pinta mbok Ijah.

"Let me go Mbok, I should be able to and should learn to replace Devina's duties, helping you prepare breakfast for Papa, Mama and Annisa. About Mahen whatever, if he likes to be allowed to eat, otherwise he can have breakfast outside. Most importantly now, my father's son is only me, so from today, I will take care of their needs" said Devani.

Spaghetti is indeed his favorite breakfast menu, especially made by Devina, which he thinks is very delicious.

This morning he had to and should be able to cook for all of them even though it might not taste as good as the late brother's cooking.

After finishing cooking and preparing breakfast, Devani hears Annisa's crying voice from Mahen's room, but she doesn't dare to go inside. Devani asks for a symbol to see Annisa in there, while she arranges food.

Simbok went into Mahen's room, seduced Annisa to stop crying, then carried her and took her to the kitchen to meet Devani.

Devani, who had finished arranging the food, then took Nisa to her room to take a bath but previously she had asked for a symbol to prepare Nisa's clothes and deliver to her room.

Today Annisa is still off school, because it is still a period of mourning, so Devani did not intend to go to campus. She wanted to accompany her niece to play at home to distract Annisa from her mother's absence.

Mahen who had returned from the mosque immediately entered his room, but when he did not see his daughter on the mattress, Mahen immediately looked for a symbol to ask where Annisa was.

Not yet Mahen asked Simbok, he saw Annisa running out of the room Devani to approach him.

Annisa hugged the Papa and asked, "Where are you from? nisa was crying, when she woke up there was no one in the room" said Annisa.

"I'm sorry, son, Papa went to the mosque. Nisa has taken a shower.hemmm, how sweet Papa's daughter is!" mahen said as he kissed his daughter good morning.

"Yes Pa, Nisa has taken a bath with mom and mommy promise you know Pa, later will accompany Nisa to visit mom."

No time Mahen chimed in the words of his daughter, Mama Intan and Papa Andara arrived there.

"For Eyang's grandson" said Papa Andara.

Annisa replied, "For Eyang Kakung and Eyang princess. Come on Which we have breakfast. Mother said, there is Nisa's favorite fried rice, mother deliberately you know Yang, cook for Nisa."

Papa Andara was astonished, then he looked towards Mama Intan to find the truth about Annisa's speech. Because all this time, as Papa Andara knew, his daughter never cooked.

Mama nodded, then took Papa, Mahen and Nisa to the dining room to enjoy breakfast from Devani cuisine.

While Devani herself did not dare to come out, she was afraid that all would comment unkindly about her cooking.

Fortunately, he did not forget to bring his spaghetti to the room, so while waiting for all the breakfast, he could also enjoy his favorite menu.

"Hemm... delicious! It turns out that I'm good at cooking too" Devani said to herself as she hurriedly devoured her favorite food.

While Devani eats in the room, the others wait for her at the dining table. Seeing his daughter so long appear, the mother was impatient, and then he got up to call Devani in his room.
