Stephanus sighed again, then looked at Devano for a moment. While Devano frowned and straightened his seat, trying to pay attention to every word that came out of the mouth of his President.
"Please, Sir. One thing what else you want, I will try to do it according to my ability" said Devano.
Hearing this, Stephanus smiled and dared to say it. "Devan .. I ask you to be my daughter-in-law, to be the husband of my daughter Keisha" Stephanus said.
Deg.
Devano was again shocked by the request of his President, he really did not believe what he just heard. Devano looked at Stephanus in search of the truth of Stephanus' words.
"I mean, Sir?" devano asked again to confirm Stephanus' words, worried that he had misheard them.
"We'll have a drink, Devan. It seems that we are too tense in talking," said Stephanus invited Devano to enjoy a drink that has been served on the table.
Devano also complied and immediately sipped the coffee presented in front of him, while thinking whether he misheard the words of his President or not.
After the atmosphere calmed down again, Stephanus continued his remarks to Devano. "You didn't hear wrong, Devan. Yes ... today I ask you to be my daughter Keisha's companion."
"Being the Father's daughter's companion?" devano asked, repeating Stephanus' words.
"But sir, I don't deserve to be your daughter's companion. I am just a man with a background that is far different from the background of the Father Family. In my opinion, there are still many men who are better than me and are worth your daughter" said Devano.
"That's what you think, Devan. But I think you deserve Keisha. I am Keisha's father, I know which man is suitable to accompany him" Stephanus assured Devano.
"But take it easy, there's no need to answer now. I will give you a week to consider my request. Next Monday I wait for the answer from you," he continued with a smile towards Devano.
"But sir, what about your own daughter? Did he approve this request of my father? Maybe your daughter already has a prospective companion of her own choice. Most likely, he would disagree less with this request." Devano tried to find a gap so that Stephanus' request could be considered again.
Instantly Stephanus smiled at Devano's behavior. "Don't worry about it Devan, it'll be my business with my daughter. I just want this week to really consider my request."
"I didn't ask for your decision because I had to, if you agree you really sincerely accept it. Even if I refuse this request is okay and also has no effect on anything including the first request. I will still choose you to be my successor" Stephanus said.
Again Devano was stunned and could not say anything. During this time Devano only considered his boss's remarks as a mere joke about Stephanus who wanted to make him a son-in-law for his daughter.
"Oh yeah, you don't know my daughter Keisha yet. But I make sure he's a good boy, yeah. It's because my mom and I treated our daughter special."
"Keisha is my only daughter and I love her very much. I am very worried that he will get a companion who does not sincerely love and accept him, who just wants to use him. I don't want that to happen to my daughter."
"But after I met and got to know you personally, I finally found a suitable companion for my daughter Keisha. A kind and responsible man, you are Devan. I really believe in you and if you were ready to be Keisha's companion, I would feel at ease Devan" Stephanus said.
Time has shown at three in the afternoon. Stephanus ended his conversation with Devano. Devano and Stephanus leave the cafe and walk to Stephanus' luxury sedan. Seeing the presence of his boss, Lucky immediately got down from the car and helped open the car door.
It didn't take long, the car rolled into the Arkana group office. In the car there was not the slightest chatter between Stephanus, Devano, and Lucky.
Stephanus leaned his head and slowly closed his eyes. Stephanus took the time to be able to rest because the trip to the office like it would be taken about an hour considering the crowded conditions of the streets of the capital.
On the other hand, Devano simply gazes forward with a heart and mind that is at war with arguments. Today there are many things that Devano himself does not understand. I don't know where to start thinking about Stephanus Presdir's request. Devano massaged his nose while thinking.
Lucky also turned on the music to fill the void in the car. Lucky set a sound that was not too big so that Stephanus also did not wake up from his sleep. Seeing Devano begin to enjoy the music, Lucky smiled.
Nearly an hour later, Stephanus' luxury sedan entered the lobby of the Arkana group. Stephanus, who felt the car stop, slowly opened his eyes as if he knew it had reached his office.
Deftly, Lucky immediately opened the door and Stephanus was out followed by Devano. They immediately walked to the elevator, looking security and some employees who passed by nodded their heads along with a smile to the President.
After Stephanus, Devano, and Lucky left the first floor for the top floor, the employees talked about Devano's familiarity with the President.
"It's lucky Mr. Devan, he's young but his career has been good. Even after returning from Sulawesi as a pimpro, he looks authoritative well," said one employee.
"True, already handsome more handsome," said a female employee.
"It seems like Mr. Devan has a family relationship with the President."
"Maybe Mr. Devan is the President's nephew."
****
Stephanus, Devano, and Lucky were already on the fifteenth floor. Then Devano went to the project division room, intending to meet his best friend Emir.
"Sir, I said I'd go to the project division room."
"Please Mr. Devan. Next Monday I wait for your answer" Stephanus recalled before he left Devano for his room.
"Alright sir," Devano replied smilingly.
After Stephanus and Lucky disappear from his view, Devano also headed to the Emir's workspace which used to be also his office. "Excuse me!" devano said as he chuckled in search of the Emir.
"Yes, come in." Juan seemed to take his eyes off the screen and immediately gave a wide smile greeting Devano.
The Emir who sat facing the window immediately turned his chair of work to see who was coming. It seemed like he recognized the voice of someone who had entered his study.
"Crazy you bro. From the morning I was looking around, to the point that the cave general to the information section you are milling in the swallow of the earth," joked the Emir who immediately approached Devano.
"Sorry bang, I forgot ngabarin. I had some business outside with Mr. Ridwan and Mr. President" explained Devano.
"It's okay, bro. Please sit down first! Looks like your face is very tense," said the Emir. "What's wrong?" ask him to Devano who is already sitting.
"That's okay, I'm sad not in the project division anymore."
"Where are you moving, bro?" ask the curious Emir.
