...Sister of Ipar Malang ...
...Chapter 38 The Jealous Devan...
POV Lilis
"You are unique. Woman, if she's bought, she'll choose all the expensive and branded stuff, but you want cotton candy." Brother Fero chuckled small.
"Sweet foods can make our bad mood better, sister. So don't underestimate it" I said, pinching a small piece of cotton candy and then putting it in my mouth.
I stopped the mouthful when I saw Brother Fero who kept watching me. It makes me feel uncomfortable and a little embarrassed. Eating, but being watched continuously. My eyes moved to the right and to the left, trying to escape the embarrassment. Or maybe Fero wants his cotton candy, too.
"So why are you looking at me? Brother want some cotton candy?" I thrust cotton candy towards Brother Fero.
"No. I don't like sweet food" she said. "Except ..." Brother Fero stopped his words.
"Except?" I was a little curious.
"Ra-ha-si-a," he replied as he moved his face closer to mine.
From this close distance, I could see her fine, yet firm line of face. His eyes were narrow and sharp at the same time. Not to miss his good looks and charm that continues to radiate, wherever he is. It was as if all the limelight was taken all by him.
Suddenly something kicked in from the stomach. Reflexes instantly retreated, and kept my face away from her. I rubbed my belly while having a fistighfar in my heart.
Thank you, dear. You saved Mom at the right time, I said in my heart.
The atmosphere between us became awkward at once. Brother Fero smiled sweetly at me, as if nothing had happened. I was looking the other way, as long as I didn't look at him. Inwardly continue to mention the name of Kak Devan. So that I can remember that I am a married woman.
"Em, I'm going back to the room."
"Why so fast? Just a minute too. We haven't explored all the places." His smile disappeared instantly.
"Sister Fero can continue on his own. I'll go back to the room."
"Later, yeah. You'll be with me in a minute. Or are you tired? We can rest for a minute."
"No way, brother. Devan must have gone back to the room. I don't want to worry him because I'm not back yet."
I turned around, walked away from Brother Fero. Most importantly now I have to get to the room, before Brother Devan returns. I'm afraid he's worried, and then he does something silly to look for me.
Suddenly Brother Fero was already standing before me, making me have to stop walking. "Don't sulk that way, dong. You become more cute if you're craving that."
My eyes glared at him. Maybe he was fighting with a married woman.
Without responding to her words, I still stepped past her. Walk towards the exit leading towards the swimming pool. I used the pool as a benchmark to make it easier to find the room where I stayed with Kak Devan.
When I looked, it turned out that Brother Fero was following me behind. Let it go, maybe he wants to go back to his room as well.
"Do you remember the direction of the road?"
"Remember, really. I used the pool to be the benchmark." I answered with certainty.
"Where are you going?" asked Brother Fero as we reached a crossroads.
"I told you that." Without a second thought I took a straight path while answering Kak Devan's question.
"You want to soak in the night like this?" asked Fero who successfully stopped his steps and turned his body facing towards him. I looked at him confused. Whatdoes thatmean?
Then Brother Fero raised his hand, pointing to a pedestal. I read it with a shock mixed with embarrassment. Turns the pool to the right, the bath pool is straight, and the playground to the left. With my face flushed with embarrassment, I walked towards the direction of the signboard.
I could hear the voice of the person holding back the laughter from behind. It's clear that's the voice of Brother Fero. I ignored him, and kept going. Although I actually feel very embarrassed.
Why didn't I remember from the beginning that there was a signboard? Then I don't have to go with Brother Fero, until I go to a place like the market that night. I continued to grumble in a soft voice as I continued walking.
Not long after walking, I arrived at the row of rooms of the inn. Even from this distance I could see the door of the room where I and Brother Devan were staying.
"Till here. Thank you for bringing me here" I told Fero.
Although we have to target first, I still have to thank him too, right, to him. After all, he was willing to accompany me, and did not just leave me in a foreign and crowded place.
"Yes. Quick in! Devan must have been waiting for you."
I nodded then walked into the room. As soon as the door opened, I saw Brother Devan standing anxiously while fiddling with his clothes.
Brother Devan looked at me. "Came on!" Brother Devan's face was very tense after seeing me.
He ran and hugged me tightly. I keep a little distance, so that the stomach is not squeezed. My head was showered with small kisses from his lips. From this embrace, I could feel how worried she was, as if she did not want to let go of me.
I felt a little guilty at once, but I was also innocent. I'm, right, stray, because I met with Brother Fero.
"Finally you're back" said Brother Devan, still hugging me. "I'm very worried. I'm afraid you're why-why. Where have you been? Why not go back to the room? I can't call you either." Brother Devan took off a hug while showering me with a lot of questions.
I saw my device. Oh my goodness, the battery's gone. There was no sign of life in my pocket. I think Devan is still busy taking care of Evan, so he didn't try to contact me.
I told everything to Brother Devan. From meeting Kak Fero to straying in the night market place. Keep coming back to this room, with nothing to cover. I can see Kak Devan's palms clenched tightly.
"I'm sorry, brother," I said timidly.
Is Brother Devan jealous? Why should I be jealous of Fero? He was an old friend of Devan's. I don't feel anything at all for Brother Fero.
His palm slowly opened. Brother Devan took a breath and then exhaled slowly. He did that a few times. Like he was neutralizing his emotions.
"You ain't nothing, are you, same Fero?"
I frowned at my husband's question, then shook my head. "Sister Fero doesn't fuck with me."
"Thank God. Yeah, already. Now you clean up, after that rest."
I did what Brother Devan told me. I also feel very tired after circling with Brother Fero earlier. Looking down, my legs are a little swollen. If you say mama, this is natural experienced by pregnant women, but why should you be here?
Finished cleaning the body, it was Kak Devan's turn to use the bathroom. As I recall, Urip brought rubbing oil just in case there was anything. I refused before, but now it turns out to be indispensable.
Finally after tearing in the medicine box, it turns out that Urip put it in a cosmetic bag. There's-there's this mbok Urip.
I sat down directly on the bed. When I was going to rub my feet with rubbing oil, I just realized that my hand was not up to touch the soles of my own feet. Obstructed by a distended stomach contains my adorable future son. I just remembered, to cut the toenails of the feet, Brother Devan is doing it now.
Right then and there, Devan came out of the bathroom. He immediately approached and took the rubbing oil from my hand. Without hesitation he began to polish and massage my swollen feet slowly.
"This is why it's swollen? We'll check tomorrow, yeah."
"No need, brother. Mama said this is natural experienced by pregnant women. Most have to change the size of the sandals." I chuckled, which was given a pinch on the nose by Brother Devan.
"Yes, we'll buy tomorrow."
"Sister, what about Evan? What's going on?"
Old Brother Devan was silent not to answer. Like thinking of something. Although I have bitter memories with Brother Evan, still he is my brother-in-law, the husband of Kak Laras.
"Sister!"
"Em, he's fine." That's the only answer.
I could see from his face that he was hiding something from me. Am I not his wife? If there's a problem he should be willing to share, instead of being self-sacrificed, then cover it from me.
"What's happened?"
"There's nothing. Only Evan was given stimulants through his food." Then Devan told me everything.
I was so surprised to hear that. How could anyone do such a thing to Kak Deva, a married man. If only there had been no Devan, I would have fared like what my brother's household was.
"It's a good thing that Devan came on time."
"You worried about Evan?"
"Of course you're worried, brother."
"Why?"
"Why? Because she's-"
"Father of your son."
My eyes were round hearing Kak Devan's statement just now. Why is he so blind jealous like this? Do not let our relationship tenuous just because of a trivial misunderstanding.
