The Pearl of Ternista
The Death of Alan

In the car that Devan and Alina were driving, the tension still continued. Both of them are silent, because talking will only cause emotions. Devan had tried it earlier, but Alina's anger was even more broken. It was only when they arrived home that Devan reopened his voice.

"Darling! Wait, Honey!" devan shouted, when he saw the wife out of the car while slamming the door.

"This is not all true. Karel has slandered me, baby! I've never minjam the money, nor is there any connection with Tiara or Nala. Here's her wits, baby!" Devan's voice was still rising, in tune with his swift pace offsetting the wife.

"If you really have nothing to do with them, then how can Karel get the photo? And if you don't spend money, how can there be proof of transfer to Alan? Continue again ... why until now Novan has not been caught as well? Is it all just a coincidence?" alina replied, also in a high tone.

"It's not a coincidence, but Karel's plan. I'm sure something's wrong with him."

"If this is only Karel's plan, then what about you who always care and care about Tiara? Did Karel tell you to, or did he control your body? Or___"

"I want to adopt his son" Devan cut. Quick and firm.

That was indeed the purpose for which he cared about Tiara. She hoped that when the baby was born, Tiara would be willing to give it away.

"What do you mean, Mom?"

"That Tiara son of Shaka conceived, there was a blood relation with me. I want him to be our adopted son" Devan replied.

Alina shook her head, "You think I'll believe it, Mas? Mama doesn't believe that she's Shaka's son, so there's no way we can adopt her. I'm sure you understand that too. In addition, Tiara is not likely to give his son to us. With him defending the child despite many insulting, proving that he loves his child, so it is impossible to be loved by others, including you. Except ... You did take part in making that baby."

Devan closed his mouth while giving a rough breath. He had almost no way of persuading his wife.

"I have intentions that might not be too good. My plan, later do not tell Mama that we adopted Tiara's child. As for Tiara herself .. that's why I care so much now. I mean so that later he can't refuse our request. I didn't participate or anything. I'm just a son-in-law, and there happens to be blood. Please believe me, dear." Devan explained while holding both shoulders of Alina.

The woman is still silent. Husband's explanation and the reality that occurs as opposed.

"Let's ponder, all the information that got him. My pictures are from him too. It is not possible that all of it is just engineering to destroy our family. Then he took advantage of that" Devan said.

Alina remained silent.

"I'm going to Alan's place now. I'll make him talk and expose Karel's rot, " Devan continued. Insist on persuading his wife, as well as clearing up the trouble that destroyed his good name.

"Tell me, prove it first if your words are true, Mom!" alina said as she shook Devan's hand, then left without caring about the husband who was still glued to the spot.

Without thinking, he turned around and left the house. The goal is Alan's house.

"I don't know what Karel's really planning, but . whatever it is I'll make sure it fails. I'm not going to let an outsider like he ruined my name and my relationship with my family" Devan said, stepping on the accelerator. He drove his car at high speed, impatient to get to Alan's house.

However, disappointment must be swallowed when Devan arrived at his destination. How not, Alan's house is empty. There's no one there. So when Devan tried to contact, the number was not active.

Has Alan escaped?

With a very chaotic feeling, Devan was forced to go home without bringing any results.

______

"Evening Alan was not at home, his number was off as well. I'll be back to look for him this morning. If it fails again, I'll call the police. It's possible that Alan was in cahoots with Karel and is now trying to escape" Devan said, as he and Alina sat face to face at the dinner table.

Alina did not reply, merely exhaling a coarse breath while stirring breakfast on her plate.

Devan had no time to talk anymore, his phone suddenly rang. Devan turned his head quickly, hoping the call came from Alan. However, wrong. The one who contacted him that morning turned out to be another employee.

"What's wrong?" ask Devan without further ado.

"Mr Devan, there's bad news. Mr. Alan .. he died."

The answer of the person across made Devan flinch.

"What do you mean?"

"She had a single accident, on the road near the office. His car hit an electric pole and rattled badly. Mr. Alan's body was pinched, unable to be saved anymore."

Devan slowly kept the phone away from his ear. Pupus had hoped to uncover the truth, because the key he had no longer existed.

Seriate...
