My Boss My Enemy
The Story of Devania 23: Mouths Lack of Work

Devan stood staring at the big figura in the living room, looking at the picture of him who was ten years old being flanked by his parents. The picture was taken a few months before his father left him and his mother for good. Everyone there showed a happy smile.

His gaze was straight forward with his lips tightly clenched. He hasn't said much since returning home from his mother's funeral, even ignoring his relatives and close relatives. His mind still strongly denies, if Sekar is gone. The middle-aged woman's last words were still clearly ringing in her ears.

"Don't get too tired of work, Van. Think about your health too. Don't pawn health to pursue the world, it's useless. Now that you have a wife, your attention is growing. You should be able to share your time with your family. Don't let Dania get comfort from another man's shoulder." Sekar began his conversation when the son just wayang massaged his two legs alternately.

"You're lucky, Van. Got a woman as good as Dania. Kind, polite, gentle and loving mother like her own mother. Getting Dania feels like mom has a daughter. Please take care and love him. Don't waste him. If in your heart there is still no feeling for him, nurture that feeling. Love comes from habituation."

Devan could only nod in affirmation when he heard the advice from his mother.

A pair of soft hands wrapped around his burly stomach from behind. That action managed to forcefully draw out Devan's consciousness. Who else would have done it if it wasn't Dania.

"I understand your sadness but I beg you not to overdo it like this. Poor mother there, the path is complicated because her child is not sincere. Right now, all you need is a prayer from her devoted son." Dania said by leaning her head on the husband's burly back.

He will try to strengthen this fragile man.

Devan turned his body around, then hugged the woman of his mother's choice. Piled his chin on the top of the woman's head with his eyes closed. Without feeling, her tears melted without being prevented.

Dania immediately looked up when she felt a drop of tears wetting her scalp. He saw her, the husband was crying with his eyes closed. His outstretched hand removed the rest of the clear crystal.

Devan opened his eyes when he felt a soft hand touch the surface of his face. He broke his arms, then stared intensely at the woman who had become his wife.

Dania smiled, then said, "i will always be with you. Don't cry anymore."

Without saying much, the thirty-two-year-old man clutched his wife even more tightly than before.

''I will try to keep my last wish. I take this as my last devotion to mother, "inner Devan.

...----------------...

Without feeling a week passed after the departure of Sekar. Devan and Dania have also been undergoing activities as usual due to the demands of work.

Devan's condition is much better. It was all thanks to the wife who was always with him. The newlyweds were also still occupying the Sekar residence and agreed to settle there. Because it feels dear if the house is left empty. Although, it is not too big yet in it holds many meaningful memories.

''You don't mind, do you? Departing from here which in fact is quite far away?" devan asked before starting the engine.

''Absolutely not," said the woman accompanied by her sweet smile.

''Wherever you go, I will always come with you because you are my husband" she said.

Devan who heard that only responded with a sweet smile. He should be grateful, got a wife who is not much demanding like most women in general. Her mother's choice was never wrong.

Devan started the car engine, slowly the iron train was walking away from the courtyard of the house. Due to the considerable distance, they had to leave earlier than usual.

Arriving at work, a pair of adam's children walked in tandem into the lobby. And it did not escape the observation of the people around. Some of them were staring at each other, some were whispering to each other.

''Feelings from yesterday, the Dania kok often went home with Mr. Devan. Do they have a special relationship" whispered one of them who was still heard in Dania's ear.

''I heard, the hell they both married." Another woman chimed in.

''Time anyway? Don't tell me the secretaries that the superiors were sleeping with at the time, are repeating themselves." Devan who had just heard that could only frown.

He glanced at the wife, asking through his eye gesture. But, Dania only responded indifferently.

''Don't-don't, the Dania managed to tease Mr. Devan continues to be married to the state he already soared first." The other woman chimed in with a slightly loud voice, so her other friend gestured to lower her voice.

Dania just shook her head hearing the assumption of a lack of work. He remembered the scandal that Renita and the Boss had uncovered.

''The supreme leader in this company alone they dine, let alone me who is just an ordinary employee. Been finished unceremoniously. It's stupid, later if tired also stop his own mouth," the woman's mind does not want to take a headache.

Dania immediately blocked her husband's arm when she saw his gurgling about to approach the underworked women with a face full of anger. Along with that, the elevator doors opened. She immediately dragged her husband into the elevator.

''No, ''kan. One thousand percent sure, they have a special relationship. The Dania dared to drag the hand of Mr. Devan, in public again."

The last words they heard before the elevator door closed tightly, even Devan had a hard look at the women. And recorded one by one their faces in his memory.

''Why are you holding me back from reprimanding them?" devan asked in a cold tone.

''Make what? It doesn't matter" replied the woman indifferently, watching the color of the cuttings on her fingernails.

''But they've accused you of nothing, Dania." Devan growled in annoyance, not having exhausted his thought of how this woman could still be that relaxed after hearing their scathing remarks. He alone who was not rumored to be feeling hot himself.

''Let it be, later if tired also stop alone. It's a waste of energy on them. Most importantly, we don't do that. Let the evidence silence their nyinyir mouths."

Devan smiled faintly at the woman's response. He did not expect that this woman was really mature and wise to deal with her problems.

''If the smile is not half-smile," the woman replied.

Devan immediately cleared his throat returning his flat expression. He didn't think his wife knew what he was doing.

"Sweet her eyesight."
