SUDDEN MARRIAGE CONTRACT (Sudden Marriage Contract)
Search Anton Lee

Anton really did what he promised.

The man went to the city where Devana used to live. He was looking for the home of Anne's mother's foundation, with the aim of being able to meet again with his cousin's wife.

The home that looks a bit fragile makes his heart smell.

Anton took a deep breath before his fist knocked several times on the door of the foundation house.

"Excuse me, assalamualaikum!"

Quite quiet, and no answer yet.

Tok tok...

Anton knocked on the door again. This time he shifted slightly towards the slightly open glass window of his curtain.

"Excuse me!!! Assalamualaikum!"

"Glamma!"

He's relieved. Finally there was a voice of response from inside the house.

A girl of about eleven years old came out to open the door.

"Excuse me, is Devana home?" ask Anton politely.

"Sister Dev? Isn't Deva's sister at Chandra's family home huh? They live in the city of K!" he answered with a confused face.

"Hm... Does the owner of this parlor exist?" ask Anton again. He was not satisfied with the answer he wanted to know.

"Just a minute, Mom!"

The little girl went back into the house. He called to the owner of the house with his cry.

"Yes? Is there a need with me?"

A middle-aged woman came out to meet Anton.

"I'd like to talk to you for a minute, do you have time?" Anton asked back.

"certain. Please come in, son! Come, sit!"

"Oiya. My name is Anton. I'm Chandra's cousin. My intention to come here is to find Devana and her son, Ericko. What's... Do you know where Devana went?"

"Devana?"

Mother Anne's face was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't Deva live with her husband and father-in-law in K?"

The same answer that Anne's mother had with the little girl.

"When was my last contact with Deva?" ask Anton again. Very impressed to investigate. Of course, Anne's mother followed her anxiously and worried for one of her foster daughters.

"What's wrong with Devana? Don't they live well and are okay? Devana khan just gave birth? Mas's? Did Devana leave the house?"

Anton gasp. Ms. Anne was now even more panicked than him until her two palms unhesitatingly shook Anton's arms.

Hhh... Only a long sigh could Anton do. His face was sluggish.

"Deva, ran away from home three days ago!"

"Swash from home? Wh why? What's the fight with Chandra? Deva last called about two months ago, he said his phone was broken. So I can't call her again until she has a new phone. So said!"

So Devana really didn't return to the parlor! Where did she go to bring a seven-month-old baby? Hhh... Anton's heart and mind tried to guess.

"So you don't know any more news from Devana?" ask Anton. He continued to try to extract other information from Deva's foster mother.

Deva used to call her. But after giving birth to a baby boy, Deva started calling him less often. Miss Anne knows, Deva must be busy taking care of her little family.

Only occasionally did he ask Deva about her situation through a short chat. And surely Deva's live video call says that he and his family are fine.

That'sallthatis.

So he was shocked when Anton said Devana ran away from home three days ago.

"Chandra passed away five days ago, Mom!"

"Cha Chandra's? Died??? Is that right, son?"

"Yes. He had leukemia when he was young. Her health has dropped for the past half year. I also do not know for sure because I continued my studies in the country sebrang!"

"O My Lord is the Greatest! Give Chandra a worthy, beautiful place in Your paradise!"

Mother Anne looked very shocked.

The water is crying non-stop. Many times he wiped the clear melts that poured out from the right and left of his eyelids.

His nose was also wet and flushed.

Apparently the news that Anton brought really hit his mind suddenly.

Devana is the first daughter she raised 22 years ago.

A social service worker gives a tiny body fresh out of the intensive care room after a day of worrying conditions for Anne to take care of.

The tiny body was lying on the porch of his house. His body was placed in a box of old instant noodles, just covered in shabby cloth.

Starting from just a deposit from the local Police, he finally submitted an adoption request to the Village and the related Population Service.

The baby was named Devana Wandira.

Again Mother Anne wept as much as she could recall the fate and life story of her first foster daughter.

"What... Devana has a best friend here, Mom?"

Mother Anne could only swallow the saliva, then shook her head slowly.

"Deva doesn't have many friends. Since childhood he has always been persistent in helping our economy. Hik... Even after school he never had the desire to get together with his peers. Just help Mom at home and go to work anywhere that needs her energy."

Hm... The woman should be a matreatist. Life seems difficult from a small age!

"Mother married her because of Chandra's proposal and married them immediately to want Deva's happiness. At least, his mind should not continue to be fixed on this house, Mother and also the sisters of the orphanage! Even Chandra's dowry of twenty million Deva allotted to renovate this house, son! That's Deva! Hik hik hicks..."

Anton just kept quiet.

He's also confused. Don't know what to say.

Miss Anne's story got her washed away too. Anton also tried to relate Chandra's story of Devana's kindness some time ago.

"Yes, then I say yes Mom!? I'll try to find somewhere else first. Maybe to his school-time friends!"

"All right! But..., please tell Mom that Nak Anton found Deva, huh? Please tell him, Mother told him to come home! This is your contact number!"

Anton took the business card that Mother Anne gave him. He kissed the back of the good woman's arm. Say hello, let's go.

The steps are gontai, the search is unsuccessful.

Anton pensively before turning on his pajero sports car.

This could be an outside influence. Until the Devana changed nature and character as it is today! Honestly, I would probably have more respect and forgiveness for my Uncle and Unty, especially for the late Chandra if he ran away to the orphanage foundation. But it turns out he didn't go back to where he lived! Precisely blurred not clear where the limb! Maybe he knows, if the foundation for sure Uncle and Unty will find him soon. That's why he goes with other people and they're ponya-foya with Chandra's savings! Damn*n indeed, that bitch!

Anton turned on the machine. He gasped immediately leaving the suburb of K. Now the next destination is the Budi Santosa High School building. Devana and Chandra went to school.

He hopes to get Deva and Chandra yearbooks. So that he can trace one by one the people suspected of taking Devana away from the Chandra family residence.
