''Which in say Papa you are right Van, you better make Line secretary so that he can help you in his office.''

''Ma, Pa, Lini still can not work with mas Devan, after all Luni also does not understand the affairs of the office, '' said Mahalini who did not want to be made a secretary by his two parents-in-law.

''Actually Lini sudsh works there kok Ma, but as office girls, ''' replied Devano who knew the eyes of Mahalini.

''Yes already, living in the adoptive office just what is difficult sich,'' continued the Mama again who did not want to see her daughter-in-law become office girls in her son's office.

''Ma, we better have a night first, then the food will be cold and unpleasant when eating, '' said Papa Devano stopped his chat.

Finally they all had dinner with silence, just the thump of spoons and forks that collided with each other that night, finished dinner Mahalini helped clean the table and also dirty dishes to be brought to the sink immediately.

''Let me alone Miss,'' prevent the Aunt who was cleaning her dining table.

''No matter what you can, let Lini help,'' he replied by commenting on the smile on both of his lips.

''But Miss,''

''It's okay Bi, it's not every day Line help settle in this house,'' cut Mahalini who can already guess what will be said by the house assistant Mama Devano.

Mama Devano just smiled looking at the daughter-in-law who was always friendly to everyone, Mama is happy because you got a really nice woman Devan, so Mama's message? never hurt a woman who looks innocent and sincere like Lini, or you will regret it later, and after you lose her? that's the regret you'll get, so?? from now on treat her like a very precious woman in your eyes, Mama Devano's message makes to worry in Devano's heart.

''Well Ma, ''' Devano replied briefly and tried to behave as usual.

Looking at the Line that was so deft and teramoil in the kitchen the assistant asked, ''Miss Lini is also very agile and deft in working in the kitchen,''

''Yes, this is my job before Bi, so Bibi does not have to worry anymore okay, ''' Mahalini replied by rinsing the dishes that she had soaped.

''But usually if the rich never want to enter the kitchen Miss, but Miss Lini is very smart, '' asked her who thinks Mahalini is a rich man, so she said so.

Mahalini smiled bitterly at the words of the house assistant Devano. ''Lini is not a rich person Bi, instead behind her Lini is only an adopted child in the house who is treated like garbage, ''' answered her softly, Mahalini closed her eyes for a moment, relieving the pain that suddenly came in his heart.

''Forgive Aunt Miss, Auntie really does not know, ''' please regretfully, because it has made Mahalini feel very sad with all her words just now.

''If Githu Lini bamit want to go to Mama and mas Devan, ''' pamit Mahalini and step away to the family room, where there sudsh gathered both in-laws and also her husband.

''Sitting down, Mama Devano said when she saw Mahalini walking towards her, and Mahalini sat next to Devano as Devano had asked before her.

''Mama, now there is already a Line that accompanies you here, so Papa and Devano will be in the workspace for a while, there is something that must be discussed right now,'' exclaim the Papa.

''Is that important?'' ask her curious.

Papa Devano nodded and invited Devan to go to his Papa's study. ''You wait here first baby, or you just wait in the room if you are still tired, said Devano gently and also attentively to the wife, it was as if he was really a couple who were in love.

''This is here, just want to talk to Mama too, '' his reply with his thin smile.

Devano and his Papa walk towards his study, while Mama and Mahalini still sit back in the living room, where there is already a cup of hot chocolate and also a plate of snacks that have just been delivered by the assistant.

''How's college you boys?'' mama Devano asked to start her conversation.

''Well Ma, everything can be arranged according to the initial plan, ''' to be honest by continuing to sing her smile, making Mama Devano's heart sliced.

'Why would an Agnes treat Mahalini like this, she is a good girl and also polite, but why would it be as if Agnes and also Almira hate Mahalini so much,' mama Devano's mind is still staring at the tired face of Mahalini, maybe she also just came home from campus and immediately went to this house, thought Mama Devano.

''What do you think about being Devan's secretary in the office, ''' asked Mama Devano again.

''Sorry Ma, Lini can't. And Lini was also not good with all the employees there, later there he even thought of the sort again, because Lini was suddenly appointed as Devano mas secretary,'' again Mahalini refused the proposal from her in-laws.

''Why is it so? you do not need to listen to the speech of all employees there, after all you are the legitimate wife of Devano, why should be afraid sich, ''' he murmured by hugging Mahalini with affection.

''That said Mama is right, if Lini is the wife of Mas Devan, but all the employees there are no one who knows the truth is Ma, so Lini hope? Mama no longer forced Lini to become secretary mas Devan, '' Lini's heart phrase throw the most in just he uttered to the Mama-in-law, she said, because he does not want to be considered a teaser and instead ends up with hatred that he will get from all the employees who work there, he said, Mahalini was also afraid that she was hated by everyone who had done good to her during her work in the office.

''Alright, Mama won't force you anymore, but Mama hope that if you sudsh very tired of being an OB there, Mama hope you can quit the job'an yes,'' pinta Mama Devano gently.

''Now that you go back to the room first, maybe Devan will be long in his study with his Papa, many problems that his Papa is experiencing, maybe, maybe Papa Devan asked him for help so that his swmuanya quickly resolved quickly and also found someone who dared to play with your Papa in the office, Mama Devano's story at length.

''Alright, Lini will go back to the room first if that's Ma, is it okay Lini left Mama here alone,'' his question is not good.

''No matter what, dear, Mama will also go to the room to rest too, '' said the person who was embraced by Mahalini.

After saying goodbye Mahalini stepped up the stairs to her husband's room on the top floor, actually Mahalini wanted to go home to the apartment, but her husband still did not run wild from his work room to make Mahalini lay on his bed.

Mahalini closed her eyes as she inhaled the fragrance of Devano left on the pillow she was sleeping on.

The night was so calm and quiet that Mahalini fell asleep very home on the big bed.
