The Married By Challenge
The Part 113
William helps Devano clean up the mess of Devano's company, which caused the owner and CEO to be heartbroken.
While working, William endlessly lectured and grumbled at Devano. From bringing up his misunderstood foolishness to William, his folly that married Sarah only because Sarah made it a challenge and also his stupidity that was discouraged life only because of heartbreak.
At its core, to William everything that Devano does is pure stupidity. Of course it makes Devano very furious and want to striking the puncture wound on William's waist, but he still has heart and feelings. And Devano realized what William was saying was very true.
"High school, stupid is not too high." William grumbled again and again the end makes Devano was not nearly able to hold back his emotions.
"The man you always call a fool is your sister's husband, your parents' daughter-in-law and your nephew's father. Okay?" devano tried to calm down. William simply choked his lips and reluctantly responded.
"It's...." William thrusts a file at Devano.
"What's this?" devano asked as he accepted.
"I need a little of your money." said William made Devano frown confused.
"Make?"
"Buying Agus' company"
"What?" Devano immediately stared in disbelief at William "Her company is on the edge, Will. Buying it is worth it unless you're going to develop it again, and I think you should focus first on your baby company"
"I know, his company is indeed on the edge but it still belongs to Agus. I want him to have anything" William said with angry eyes. Of course Devano still does not understand what William means, and William is not his hobby of revenge.
"What do you mean?" ask Devano again.
"Come on, Dev. Don't pretend to be stupid, I know you nearly broke him because he leaked your secrets. And now it's my turn, I want him completely broke because he's spreading slander about me raping Caitlin"
Devano now understands what William means "Okey, I'll take care of this." Devano said calmly and William looked happy.
.........
Naina comes to her father's office to deliver lunch, and only God and Naina know Naina's true intentions why she arrived at her father's office which is Juan's company. Where there Juan could have appeared and back teased Naina, but that's exactly what Naina expected.
"Tumben.." said Papa Naina, but Naina only showed her innocent smile while arranging food at the table near her desk.
"Where do you have a go to event? Or what kind of activity is that?" ask father.
"That's it, Pa. No Sarah, no Jacob. Yes Naina is going where without them." said Naina.
"Your friend Vino?"
"He's busy with his gang" replied Naina again.
He also glanced at the sweet circular watch on his wrist.
"Naina's coming home now, Pa." she said.
"Loh rantangnya? Papa hasn't eaten yet"
"Let's bring it home later, bye Pa..."
Naina kissed her father's cheek and then she rushed away.
And in the lobby, that's right. He saw Juan there talking while walking with some men.
Naina looked up at her face but she pretended not to see Juan, Naina continued to walk past Juan until the voice of Juan called her.
"Maaina..."
Naina stopped her steps and turned to "Yes?" her exclaims are formal and she squirts her thin smile.
"What are you doing here?" ask Juan.
"Having eaten Papa's lunch" Naina replied still maintaining her smile. It makes Juan feel weird with that overly sweet smile when he remembers how they last met and Juan gets a slap gift in return for his kiss.
"Have you had lunch?" juan asked, his crocodile instincts began to rise.
"No, it's just foraging" Naina replied as if fishing.
"Thank you" Naina replied briefly but still with the same smile, even that smile looks like a shy person.
"Come, Naina. Think of it as my apology because of the incident at that time" said Juan persuaded.
"Gotcha!!!" inner exclamation Naina girang.
"I think you're busy" Naina exclaimed then as she glanced at some of the staff who had been standing behind Juan.
"How come.." replied Juan while raising his hand beckoning the man to leave him and they immediately went "Yes let's go, where will you eat?" juan asked and he walked side by side with Naina.
"I want to eat gado gado.." said Naina.
"Gado gado.." muttered Juan.
"Yes, it's delicious. I'm sure you will be addicted" said Naina with a big smile.
.........
Juan looked around him, he felt very hesitant to eat gado gado that has been served in front of him. The noise of the vehicle makes her feel disturbed, not to mention the pollution that makes her more hesitant to eat on the side of the road like that.
"Now isn't it?" ask Naina who has started to enjoy her food.
"Clean with neh?" asked Juan grimacing. Naina chuckles, she takes a sip of Juan's untouched gado .
"Clean, aaa.." he feeds Juan and hesitantly accepts him and then chews on his "Enak right?" asked Naina and Juan nodded with her wide smile.
"Enak, but next time eat in a cleaner and more comfortable place yes" Naina just chuckled and reluctantly responded.
To be honest, Juan feels strange with Naina's attitude that arrived this sweet. Usually the girl was no less fierce with Helen, Agh, Helen again...
.........
"Thank you very much, Sarah. Thanks to your proposal adding English subjects is very useful. The kid was so happy and said it was so cool..."
"There has to be progress, the world has changed and is getting more modern. Someday, there should even be lessons about information technology and networks even if it is just material"
"Yes, it's just that it's still very difficult, as you know. In this village electricity alone is still difficult, what about the internet network"
"Slowly everything will change, I'm sure of it"
"Oh yeah, here's your salary..."
A middle-aged woman thrust an envelope at Sarah, instead of her directly taking it, Sarah was pensively staring at the envelope.
"Wage?" for the first time in her life Sarah felt how difficult it was to find a job, how difficult it was to get a job and how meaningful the salary was even far from expected.
Unknowingly Sarah shed her tears while receiving the envelope, it was her first paycheck from her first job of a lifetime.
Sarah never felt the slightest lack of material despite her family ever went bankrupt, because Devano was always there for her and met all her needs and desires.
"But it hasn't been a month since I became a teacher here" Sarah said, wiping her tears with her small hands.
"I know, but you gave me a brilliant idea and a wonderful addition to science. And also you are pregnant, you must take good care of your womb"
Once again Sarah shed her tears, and she was very grateful to the teacher named Asih. Which has offered Sarah to be a teacher at the elementary school even without a job application letter what else is a degree. Of course, about the age of Sarah was forced to lie what else she had to admit her pregnancy and find a reason how she could be there without her husband.
"Thank you very much, Asih ma'am" Sarah said as she once again wiped away her tears.
"Same, you better go home and rest. Pregnant people can be too tired"
"Yes, thank you again, Ma'am Asih. Excuse me..."
