Mother (Lost Love)
BACK TO JAKARTA

Early in the morning, Devan prepared to leave for Jakarta. Daniel's waiting for Devan in his car.

"I'm leaving first, if there's anything, just call me, I've made my personal contact, on your new phone!" pamit Devan's.

"Be careful on the road, brother! let me know when you arrive!" shanum's message broke from her husband's embrace.

"Sure, I'll let you know! if you need anything, just call Daniel !"

"Well brother...! sana departs, later arriving in Jakarta," Devan smiled sweetly while landing a sweet kiss on his wife's lips.

After traveling almost 3 hours drive. Devan arrives at the head office in Jakarta. The clock on the wall of his office already showed at 09:00 a.m.

"Guests have arrived, Mel ?" devan asked his secretary.

" Already, sir...! they've been waiting in the meeting room." said Devan's secretary named Melisa.

"Please prepare the file I asked for yesterday, Mel!" tell Daniel, open his laptop.

"Okay, sir !" Mellisa took out a blue map at her work desk.

"Here,pak!" Melisa handed the map to Devan.

"Put it there" said Devan, pointing to his desk.

Melissa seemed to observe the boss secretly, usually the boss, very carefully if she received each file. But this time, Devan didn't do it. He was busy making his appearance. The aura emanated on Devan, showing the handsome man being happy.

Accidentally Mellisa saw a purplish red trail on the neck of her white boss. Not just one, but many.

" I'm sorry sir, if you should not have your neck covered, later the meeting members ask about the status of the father, the problem here people do not know that you are married!" mellisa.

Devan realizes his status is now married, but he is hiding his marriage. He didn't want his papa to think Devan was playing a woman.

"Oh, yes .. thank you for reminding Mel "Devan took a scarf in her private room and covered her neck with it.

"Mel, do you know where I've been married ?" Devan looked at Mellisa, full of probing.

"Sorry sir, I heard it from my brother who works in the hotel project Mr. Yang in Bandung." Mellisa felt bad.

"Then please keep it a secret to everyone in this office, before I announce it myself,"

" Good sir !" Mellisa understood.

Devan was headed to the meeting room when, time had already shown at 09:30. All meeting participants are present waiting for the presence of the owner of the property company.

Talks regarding the accelerated construction of the hotel went hand in hand. Some agree that some do not. The decision is in the hands of Mr. Adam Mahendra as the owner and largest shareholder in the hotel.

"What is your reason, until the construction of the hotel must be accelerated, Devan," asked the Papa.

"I just don't want to be there too long, Pa, my job here is also a lot, if the number of workers plus our time can be more efficient" said Devan.

"If according to papa, we better finish the construction according to the rules that we have agreed to together, 3 more months, not a long time, Van!" said the papa. "Then, all right...! if no one agrees, maybe I won't stay there much longer, then we'll close our meeting until here. The decision was the construction of the hotel according to a plan that had been arranged from the beginning. Thank you" said Mr. Adam Mahendra firmly.

Devan immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting room, with a flat face.

Devan went into his room, he forgot to tell Shanum, when he reached Jakarta.

In a hurry Devan picked up the phone that had been living in his desk drawer.

Devan contacted Shanum immediately, some time when the phone connection was connected via Video Call.

"Hallo, sis...kakak has arrived in Jakarta?" shanum asked from behind the phone.

"Dear, I'm in Jakarta, sorry, I forgot, I just got there, just finished the meeting,"

"Oh...Hey, did you eat?"ask Shanum.

"Not yet, ..I miss your cooking, you've eaten !" Devan asked back

"Not brother, I'm not hungry yet..!"

"Sister, brother is sick ?" shanum asked as he looked at Devan's neck which was tied up by a scarf.

"Yes, it hurts, last night there was a bite and the nyakar became red like this !" sahut Devan with a seductive smile.

"Sister, that's right...!" Shanum paused his words, he became embarrassed himself.

"What?" devan Goda.

"Not so, shame...!"

"Ngapain shy, bitten by his own wife is fun. It is a sign of a happy husband and wife relationship.

"Then, you work first, I want to eat brother!"

"So, I'm eating ya! don't be late" Shanum said.

"Okay baby..love you !"

"Love you too, brother!" a sweet smile puffed up at the corner of her ripe lips.

Devan closes his call, he does not realize that the papa is already in front of him.

"Who's Van !" asked the papa, making Devan startled.

"Nobody, Pa! just a friend," Devan tried to cover up his nervousness.

"When are you going back to Bandung !"

"Maybe tomorrow, Pa. .. I want to see my mom first, before I go home" Devan said.

"Yes, your mama and Vania are always nanyain, before you return to Bandung, we should have your engagement with Vania first," suggested The Father.

"The engagement, later Pa.. if the construction of the hotel is complete," reject Devan smooth.

"That's too long, Van....! I think your age is enough to get married" said Mr. Adam.

"I want to live free first, Pa ? If I'm married to Vania, I can't go anywhere, papa knows, what Vania is like, if only you didn't force me to marry Vania, I must have married someone else."

lamented Devan.

"Later tonight, your mama's having dinner at home, you should come !"

"I have a reunion appointment with High School friends, Pa, "Devan is trying to find an excuse not to attend his family meeting.

"It's important, Van !" exclaim Mr. Adam.

"This is also important, Pa..my friend is Mario, he is developing the Travel and Tourism business. I'll talk about the opportunity so that he can make our hotel a destination if there are tourists who want to stay. I also want to build a resort in Bali, but this is my own business" Devan said.

"Yes, it's up to you, what's the reunion show, where?"

"No notification yet, pa ! if you've gathered, just shared the location!" devan assured his father.

Devan had planned, to meet his mother for a while at home, after which he would return to Bandung, see his wife.

After lunch, Devan went home, met his mother. Lady Sonia seemed busy arranging the look of the house to make it look spacious.

"Jiang, Mama !" Devan hugged the woman who had given birth to him warmly.

"Devan, .. You're finally home son! tonight the Vania family will come here, we'll talk about your engagement first!"

said the mother, making Devan feel uncomfortable.

"Mama, later tonight I can't, I have a friend's promise to build a resort in Bali, please ma, this project is important for me !" pinta Devan's.

"You've repeatedly refused meetings with Vania's family, Devan...Mama's not feeling well with her parents" said Mama Sonia, looking upset.

"Ma, I told you, I don't want to marry Vania, but mama maksa!"

"Listen to Mama Vania, Vania is the girl who suits you, she is kind, well educated, and again she comes from a family that is on par with us" said the selfish Mama.

Devan took a deep breath. She is upset with her mother who always wants to match her with Vania. According to Devan, Vania is just a spoiled woman who sucks. His job is just shopping, going to the salon and traveling abroad spending money from his parents.

"I'll try to get home as soon as possible, if my business with my friend is done! " sawut Devan at the end.

Devan then went into his room and took some of his belongings to be taken to Bandung. Then he went out of the house again, to the biggest Mall in Jakarta. Devan went to a store that sold jewelry. And pick some jewelry there.

"Van, you're here! what a coincidence, you want to buy?" the voice of someone he wanted to avoid sounded from his left.

Devan is shocked, and hides the couple ring he just bought.

"Eh, that,...Vania! I want to buy a present for a friend who wants to get married!" devan answered a little lie.

"Oh, I thought you wanted to buy a ring for our engagement, then I saw the latest output ring, I wanted the ring," Vania whined spoiledly pulling Devan's arm.

"Let's go find.I want to hurry Vania!" Devan immediately t-shirts the cashier to pay for his groceries. And leave Vania just like that.

"Sir, what did you buy?" vania asked curiously, to the jeweler's cashier.

"Sorry, ma'am ! we can't tell.it's our customers' privacy!" the cashier said it was friendly.

"So, my future husband mbak, I want to buy a couple ring that I saw yesterday. Who knows if he's bought it first, let's be a surprise !"

"Oh, this baby is his future wife, happened to be buying a Couple ring !" replied the cashier at the jewelry store. Vania smiled broadly.

"So the ring has been taken, huh mbak !? then thank you!" Vania seemed to be smiling happily. Vania thinks the ring will be given to Devan for her, at her engagement tonight.
