"I really didn't think Mr. Hadi would say that!" decak Gege ketus.
"He's a good man! He also often gave me extra pocket money if he happened to be playing to the foundation!" said Deva tried to straighten out Gege's words that sounded less like the middle-aged man who had always helped Anne's mother's finances although not too much too.
"Hhh...! I'm afraid he can't keep secrets! What... should I scare her by giving her a little threat through my people?"
"Don't!!! Don't do anything to him!"
Devana swallowed the saliva with her eyes fixed on Gege.
"I don't want my plan with Papa to fall apart!"
"But we promised earlier that our relationship is purely professional! So, nothing will happen between us. Especially if Bablas is far from the contract agreement! We already guaranteed that to Mr. Hadi!"
"What's the matter until he asks us to promise like that? What is wrong if there is a relationship between us in the end?! Is it wrong, my status and your status is now single!?"
"Maybe because of my status, brother! Legally, you have been wrong to marry a newly widowed woman for a week! There are religious and state laws that we violate. That might be what Hadi meant!"
"It's true, I didn't think it would be a problem!"
"Initially it didn't matter if it was just a fake. And only a toy wedding. But aren't we officially registered as husband and wife in the local KUA and have a real marriage book, not a fake!"
"Khan did you ask for the wedding to be made real? You say marriage is not a toy, and kabul ijab is sacred, can not be written in the marriage book like a child who plays house!"
Now the silent Devana no longer said.
Arguing with Gege is certain he will never win.
In addition to the education of Georgino Gunawan who is a master, while he is just a high school graduate. Also in terms of emotion and self-esteem Gege, much higher above Deva.
Now the two are in a state of silence, each other prestige to talk first.
Even until they returned to the great palace of Gunawan Wicaksono.
And each is seen to keep their distance regardless of the surrounding conditions which are now monitored by several pairs of eyes such as CCTV monitoring 24 hours.
☘Three hours before Gege and Deva go home☘
"Father! Do we have to go out of town to take care of the subsidiary that Papa gave us?" ellie asked, followed by Lisa, who followed her sister from behind.
"Lho's? Shouldn't you be happy? Now you are the official owner of those assets? Is there something wrong with Papa's decision?" Gunawan asked back. Anxious she saw the behavior of the three princesses and her husband who was tired because they had to leave the comfort of life in the capital. Go from the underarm of the Papa who has been meeting all their needs to the smallest thing.
"Father! Hik..."
"Why, Lisa? Even there you have a large residence as big as your pavilion here! What else is less?"
"Mas Tio can't stand the cold weather in the city of M, Pa!"
"That's impossible! Here your room AC is always nonstop with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius! The temperature of the city M is more or less around that if it is night. So, you can save electricity costs by eliminating AC in the room of your big house!"
"Father! Ish, Dad..."
"Mistake up Papa's talk, Ma?" gunawan asked Widia who had just come down from the top floor of her room.
Widia looks bright with her sweet smile. Making Gunawan rushed to the wife who looks happy.
"It's about time you guys got independent, off us, Ellie, Lisa!" widia added, making Gunawan raise his two thumbs.
"Well, khan!? Papa and Mama did want to kick us all out of here!"
"Not just you guys. Indra and Nani too! So, you better cancel your protest to me! Give understanding to your husbands to fight together in their respective destination cities!"
"Pa, Ma! What about Ellie's kids? They'll have nothing to take care of!"
"Ck ck...! They're all grown-ups! Why are you worried about them? And they were in this pavilion with Grandpa and Grandma! Don't you worry!"
Ellie and Lisa can only look at each other. Upset too, mixed into one.
Eventually the two passed away leaving Gunawan and Widia.
"Hhh...! I don't know if they'll be able to survive their new life there, Mas?"
"We have to be able to stick with this commitment, for their sake too, Widia! I do not want to die carrying a very heavy burden of sin, because I am unable to properly educate my sons and daughters in surviving this harsh life! I don't know what they would be without our treasure! Will they be able to fight when we no longer support them literally?"
Gunawan's words were like insinuations to him.
Decades ago, he expelled Claudia who had publicly admitted her affair with Gunawan. Even Claudia turns out to be two months pregnant from their forbidden relationship.
How could Claudia who should be thanking Widia for accommodating and accepting him live in her big palace, it was as if she did not have the heart to bravely have sex with Gunawan.
"Widia! Widia!!!"
"Ah, what is Mas? I'm sorry.., I didn't hear what you said!"
Gunawan can only grumble to see Widia's attitude is a little other than usual.
.......
.......
Devana felt her stomach hungry. Just remembered that he had not eaten dinner because he immediately slept soundly in Ericko's room.
He saw a large clock on the hallway wall of the Gunawan pavilion room. It's ten o'clock in the evening. But his hunger was unable to overcome and made it difficult for Devana to continue her sleep.
Finally he decided to go down to the kitchen, on the ground floor.
Somewhat surprised Deva saw the bright kitchen lights while the quiet atmosphere was not visible to anyone.
Who lights the kitchen lights? Could it be that grandpa just came down and went back upstairs without turning off the lights again? Most likely like that!
Devana was trying to overcome her rather excessive fear.
Clotra
Deva almost screamed when she saw a pair of hands with nails slightly pointed elongated, attached to the wall of the kitchen barrier.
"Amachi!!!"
"Deva?"
Surya's head poking makes Deva almost jump and fall due to tripping his own legs.
"Review, careful!"
Like the scene in the film, Surya grabbed Devana's waist which almost kayang up to 90 degrees position.
Red extinguished Devana's embarrassed face to the crown.
Fortunately, Surya's hand swiftly pulled his waist so that he did not fall flat on the cold and hard marble floor.
"Hehehe..., sorry! I think I scared you, didn't I?" surya said trying to change the atmosphere that was clumsy because of the incident earlier.
"Yes, here! What are the nights in the kitchen? Alone anyway!"
"I'm starving, Dev! Look for oatmeal, I found it here and there I didn't find it either!"
"Hm..., can you just eat cereal?"
Surya nodded softly.
"Do you want me to make something?" deva's offer made Surya return to remember Deva's incredible fried rice flavor.
"Deva want to make me something?" Surya asked back.
"Mmm..., one minute! Deva try to find something in the fridge. There may be foods that can be cooked simply!"
Surya sat at the bar table, not far from the dirty kitchen. With eyes staring fully at Deva and her cooking activities.
"You made me fall in love, Devana!"
Devanna only laughed at Surya Abdi's statement that was not too surprising. Gege and Demian have told Deva several times about Surya's temperament which is easy to fall in love.
