The Love of Mr and Young Miss
Mate

Devian drove up his car without saying a word. Carissa was confused by Devian's cold-turned attitude.

"Dev, is it still far away?" ask Carissa to try to melt the atmosphere.

There was no answer, Devian's eyes were still focused on the road.

"Devs?" call Carissa soft.

Devian looked back and refocused on driving.

Carissa sighed, trying to remember what she had done wrong. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet.

15 Minutes later we arrived at Devian's parents' residence. The car stops in the garage, Devian just exits without opening the door for Carissa. The sweet thing he always did after being in a relationship with Carissa.

"Why else is he? Leaving me for granted." Carissa grumbled hurriedly following Devian.

"Assalammu'alaikum." said Devian.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Mother Tamara and Father Adhitama.

"Where's your wife?" ask Adhitama's father who saw Devian walking alone.

Devian realizes he has left Carissa because of her obscure jealousy.

Of jealousy? I don't know.

"Assalammu'alaikum Father, Mother." said Carissa to hold off Devian's steps who intended to return to the car to pick up Carissa.

"Wa'alaikumsalam son-in-law." welcome Mother Tamara and then hug Carissa as well as Adhitama's father.

Carissa looked at Devian with her lips weaving, making Devian feel guilty.

"You guys clean up first. After that we had dinner together. Mother has prepared special meals to welcome you." said Mother Tamara happy.

"Well, Bun." replied Devian who held Carissa's hand towards Devian's room on the second floor.

"I'm sorry, dear." said Devian softly after the young couple was in the room.

"Sorry for what?" ask Carissa pretending she doesn't know.

"I'm sorry I left you in the car and even left you when I got home" Devian replied guiltily.

Carissa looked at Devian's face then sighed for a moment.

"You're not wrong. Me or you used to take a shower?" carissa asked him to try to divert the conversation.

"We take a bath together." replied Devian the spirit that made Carissa's body bristle.

"No. We shower alone. Dad and Mommy are waiting downstairs." refused Carissa to hide her reddened face.

"It'll be longer if we take alternating showers. We're together, I'm not gonna fuck around. Just shower together." said Devian seducing Carissa with a seductive smile.

"No. I'm gonna take a shower myself." Carissa ran into the bathroom and locked her up.

Carissa took off her clothes then turned on the shower to wet her body.

15 Minutes Carissa had finished cleaning her body. Carissa was looking for a towel that wasn't in the bathroom.

"Ah I forgot to bring it." Carissa murmured.

"Dev, can you get me a towel, please? I forgot to take her." pinta Carissa opened the bathroom door a little bit that showed her head.

Devian chuckled inwardly then handed her a pink kimono towel which she had prepared for Carissa in advance.

Carissa closed the door again and put on the towel with lightning speed.

Chequek!

"I'm done, now it's your turn" said Carissa who was fresh.

"You can put on the clothes in the closet" Devian pointed at a large cupboard before entering the bathroom.

Carissa opened the closet slowly. The eyes of Carissa widened to see the contents of the closet that showed women's clothing various well-known brands and various models.

"Did Devian have prepared this all for a long time? Or maybe this used to belong to her ex-boyfriend?" ask Carissa in your heart.

Carissa sat up on the bed and was still staring at the door of the closet that was still open.

Not long ago Devian had come out of the bathroom just with a towel wrapped around his waist. Devian was surprised to see Carissa who had not changed clothes.

"You haven't changed, honey? Is there nothing you like about the clothes in the closet?" ask Devian in wonder.

"No. I'm just afraid to use it." replied Carissa.

Devian sat down next to Carissa.

"Why afraid?" ask Devian curiously.

"I'm afraid if I use it carelessly. Later you will be angry if I accidentally choose clothes belonging to your ex-lover." replied Carissa plain.

Devian rounded his eyeballs then looked at Carissa's cute face. Devian laughed amusedly.

"Why are you laughing? Is something funny?" ask Carissa astonished.

"All those clothes are yours, honey. I've prepared everything when you go to New York. I've never been close to any woman, let alone to an ex-lover." replied Devian, who made Carissa ashamed.

"Sorry, Dev. Thank you very much." said Carissa hugging Devian's body which was still open and slightly wet.

"Hem. Let's get ready. Father and Mother must have waited a long time." said Devian who kissed Carissa's lips for a moment.

Carissa immediately headed for the closet and picked up some casual clothes. Light beige color short t-shirt with green color a-line midi skirt. Carissa let her long hair down.

Devian wears a white and red stripe shirt paired with black polyester shorts.

Devian held Carissa's hand down the stairs to the dining room downstairs.

"Mother's children's night. Let's eat." said Mother Tamara who was taking rice for Adhitama's father.

Devian pulled out a chair for Carissa then sat down beside her.

Carissa took the plate and took the rice, side dishes and vegetables for her husband. Devian smiled happily at Carissa who was painstakingly serving him at the dinner table.

"It turns out like this it feels like having a wife." Inner Devian was happy.

"Thank you, dear." said Devian softly.

After handing over the filled plate to Devian, Carissa took it for herself.

Dinner went on without any chatter only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks.

"Rissa after this Mommy wants to talk to you, can you?" ask Tamara.

"Can, Bun." replied Carissa after sipping a glass of water.

"Would you like to talk about Rissa?" ask Devian curiously.

"Urusan women. Mother borrow your wife for a moment." replied Tamara.

"Don't be late for a long time" said Devian.

"You're a roaring newlyweds huh. You guys just stay here first. Mother also wants to know Rissa more closely." pinta Tamara while holding the hand of her daughter-in-law.

Carissa looked at Devian's face asking for approval.

"Alright." answered Devian at his mother's request.

Tamara takes Carissa to the living room leaving Devian and Adhitama's father still in the dining room.

"Sit here, honey." take Tamara to a sofa overlooking the big tv.

"Rissa, is Dev being rude to you?" tanya Tamara opened the conversation.

"No, Bun. Dev is very gentle and kind to Rissa." replied Carissa and smiled sweetly.

"Alhamdulillah. Mother is worried that Dev will be rude as you were at the restaurant" Tamara said, recalling the incident some time ago.

Carissa chuckled considering her little quarrel she had when she met Devian. Never get along.

"Mother seneng finally you become Mother's daughter-in-law. Indeed, only you are a woman who can tame Mother's children." said Tamara who made Carissa laugh.

"Mother can." said Carissa blushed.

Carissa's eyes were accidentally fixed on a small photo of a man who was no stranger to her on the back wall of the soffa.

"Who is that, Bun?" ask Carissa curiously.

"That's little Dev." replied Tamara who made Carissa surprised.

"Why, Honey?" tamara asked frantically when she saw her daughter-in-law's expression.

"Did Rissa and Dev have known each other since childhood?" carissa asked looking at her in-laws face to make sure.

Flashbacks.

In an empty land that is in the plantation owned by Papa Cakra.

"Dev, Rissa wants to ride a bike." cried Carissa when she saw Devian riding a bike.

"You're a kid. You can't." said Devian, the sooner he pedaled his bike.

"Wait for Rissa, Dev. Rissa wants to ride a bike too." cried Carissa as she ran after Devian.

"Pursue me if you can." Devian replied as he sped up his bike and stuck his tongue out at Carissa.

Carissa ran as hard as she could to catch up to Devian's bike.

BRUUUU!

"Aaaa.." cried Carissa who fell on the ground.

Carissa tried to get up and sit down. Carissa grimaced in pain feeling the pain in both of her knees.

"Hiks...Hix... Evil Dev." muttered Carissa hugging her bloody knee.

Devian let her bike ride feel Carissa was no longer chasing after him. Devian looked back not finding Carissa.

"Where is he? Has he given up?" devian muttered instantly turning the direction.

Devian saw the little girl curled up to her knees and immediately approached her. Devian hears a sobbing sound making him get off the bike and approach Carissa.

"You crying?" asked Devian who was sitting in front of Carissa.

Carissa raised her head to look at Devian.

"Dev is evil with Rissa" said Carissa, whose cries grew louder.

"Not crying. Forgive Dev ya." persuade Devian to try to calm Carissa down.

"Shhhh..." Carissa grimaced as Devian accidentally touched her knee while pulling Carissa's hand.

Devian saw Carissa's bleeding knees instantly become panicked.

"I'm sorry, Dev ya. Dev didn't mean to hurt Rissa." said Devian, worried, then blew Carissa's knee to relieve the pain.

"It hurts?" tanya Devian looked at Carissa's face that was wet with tears.

"sickness. Rissa doesn't want to see Dev anymore. Dev is evil." said Carissa sulking.

Devian felt very guilty and he was also very afraid that Carissa would stay away from him.

"Dev apologizes yes. Let's go back to the villa, let's get it." invite Devian to try to help Carissa stand up.

Carissa felt her knees getting sore making her cry again.

"Let's go up" said Devian, who was crouching in front of Carissa.

"Dev what?" ask Carissa confused.

"Let's go carry. If you ride a bike later your legs will hurt even more." said Devian volunteered because his bike was no boncery.

Carissa immediately approached and her body was already on Devian's back. With small steps Devian carried Carissa towards a villa not too far away.

"Rissa is heavy, Dev? Rissa go for it." said Carissa unpleasantly.

"No. It's Dev's fault. Dev must take responsibility." said Devian with guilt and worry.

"I promise I won't make you hurt again." Inner Devian in heart.

Cakra saw from a distance Carissa carried Devian. Cakra immediately ran up to him.

"Rissa why Nak?" ask Cakra.

"Rissa's knees are bleeding, Om." replied Devian.

Cakra looks at Carissa's knee and takes over Carissa's body from Devian's sling carefully.

"We treat it inside ya." said Cakra carrying Carissa who followed Devian into the villa.

"Ma, please get me a medicine box and some water to drink." Cakra ordered when he saw Allisa sitting on the soffa.

"Rissa why Pa?" allisa asked in a panic and immediately obeyed her husband's orders.

Allisa carried a tray containing a medicine box and a pot of drinking water along with 2 cups.

Cakra lowered his daughter on the soffa and straightened her legs carefully.

"I'm sorry Dev, Om. It's all Dev's fault." said Devian, full of regrets.

"Drink first, son." said Allisa handed a glass of water to Devian who looked tired and his body was sweating.

Devian drained the water with a single gulp.

The chakras clean Carissa's wounds carefully then drip a red medicine that makes Carissa scream and cry again. Devian was panicked and very worried. Devian immediately hugged Carissa.

Cakra blew away Carissa's wound slowly and then put the red medicine back into the medicine box.

"It's okay, honey. Tomorrow let it heal quickly. Hold it." said Allisa then kissed Carissa's forehead.

"Om, Aunt. This is all wrong, Dev. Dev hurt Carissa" said Devian.

"What's going on? Dev can tell the same Aunt." said Allisa who approached Devian.

"So Dev rode the bike and Rissa wanted to ride it too. But Dev asks Rissa to chase Dev. Rissa fell down and got hurt like this. Om and Aunt can be angry with Dev." obviously Devian felt very guilty.

Allisa and Cakra looked at each other and smiled at Devian who was still hugging Carissa.

"Om Aunt isn't mad, son. Dev is not entirely wrong. Maybe Rissa was less careful. Rissa's sorry Dev?" ask Allisa who got Devian's head.

"Darling, would you like to excuse Dev?" allisa asked her daughter.

Carissa raised her head then looked at the faces of Papa Mama and Devian alternately. Carissa breathed out slowly.

"Yes. Rissa sorryin Dev because Dev was tired of carrying Rissa up here." said Carissa and smiled gently.

"Thank you. Dev promised not to make Rissa sick again." Devian cheers happy to make Cakra and Allisa smile warmly.

Off Flashback.

"It turns out Rissa and Dev have known since childhood. But why did Rissa meet Dev, Bun?" carissa asked after recalling the memories with little Dev.

"When Dev entered adolescence, he had to continue his schooling abroad because he had to continue his business. So Dev has to be ready at his young age. It makes you never see each other again." explains Tamara then hugged her daughter-in-law.

Carissa felt a warm feeling then recalled the treatment of Devian's parents were very good when Carissa was a child. Don't even hesitate to scold Devian when he doesn't stop bothering Carissa.

"It's just right for Rissa to feel a familiar feeling when meeting Mother and Father" said Carissa.

"Yes, Honey. Mother used to always be dizzy with Dev's behavior that likes to make you cry. But if he doesn't meet for a day, he'll whine to take Mommy and Dad to your house or to your villa." Tamara shook her head in light of her son's childhood behavior.

"Now Mother really hopes Dev can take care of you and always make you happy, dear" said Tamara kissed Carissa's forehead gently.

"Of course, Bun. Dev will always make my wife happy. I will take care of him with all my body and soul." said Devian who suddenly came.

Tamara let go of Carissa and looked at Devian.

"Just look if you dare to hurt your beloved daughter-in-law" Tamara said throwing a sharp look at Devian.

Devian chuckled softly then walked over to Carissa.

"Mother just relax. Dev will try to make Rissa happy. Dev will protect his wife and mother-to-be from Dev's children as hard as he can" said Devian gently making Carissa blush in embarrassment.

Tamara smiled at her timid daughter-in-law.

"It's night, now it's Dev's turn to Carissa ya Bun." Devian took Carissa by the hand and led her to the room.

"Based on the newlyweds." grumbled Tamara.

"Rissa take a break from Bun." said Carissa was not feeling well.

"Yes, Honey. Dev don't let Rissa get tired" said Tamara, making Carissa lower her head to hide her tomato-red face.

Devian chuckled at his mother's words.

"Mother just relax. Do'a hope Mother and Father will soon fondle the grandchildren." Devian looked at Mother Tamara who was smiling happily.
