A Star

Seventy-four

The Dutchman named Edward, if he wasn't my family's guest, he'd be a Deva family guest,

The man hugged Deva for a long time, I was a little uncomfortable seeing her,

"thats good idea Dev" whispered the bule man to Deva, Deva just silently stared

After taking off his arms, Edward turned to me, he almost hugged me but was quickly prevented by Deva,

"oh sorry! stay calm Dev!" she said to Deva and then paused her intention to embrace me, she even shook my hand and said,

"happy baby, for your marriage to Dev!" he said that makes me flabbergasted, it turns out he can speak Indonesian fluently.

"thank you, Edward!" I answered after coming to my senses from my momentary war.

"may your marriage last forever!" he said it again while blinking one eye at me.

I just smiled wryly in response.

After greeting the two of us, Edward came down from the pelaminan with occasional glances towards Deva, I don't know what the glance means.

I, who was curious, asked Deva half a whisper,

"is Edward your friend?" I sit quietly in her ear.

"yes." she replied briefly without looking at me.

"oh.." I'm just oh ria responding to the answer.

Being busy greeting the invited guests, my eyes accidentally caught the figure of Pandu among the crowd of invited guests, he nodded his head towards me and smiled, I returned his nod and smiled.

At least I don't want our relationship to deteriorate after the divorce, although honestly I still hurt when I remember her treatment for me, there is still Mela who needs the affection of her biological father.

I never limited him to meeting Mela, he was entitled to her daughter, unlike Lala, a former Pandu affair who had become his wife after divorcing me, Lala does not allow Pandu to meet Zidan, their son.

The event was over when the time had shown at 11 pm, my feet felt stiff because they were tired of standing especially with high heels that were rather high.

Deva and I came down from the bed, saying goodbye to everyone who was still there to ask permission to go to the room first, I really felt tired and sleepy.

Seeing me walk slowly, Deva then took the initiative to carry me, my face immediately met red because Deva was holding me in front of many people,

"Deva.. put me down, I can walk alone!" I said while patting his arm.

Deva did not respond to my words, she just kept walking past the people there and immediately took me to the room, I could only resign when she did not respond to me.

Arriving at the room, Deva immediately laid my body on the bed, helping me remove the high heels that had been torturing my legs.

"h. Let me!" I said to prevent him from opening my heels, he continued his activities without making a sound.

I was back only able to resign because again he did not respond to my words, after the heels were released, in washing my feet with warm water, very comfortable it felt, making my mood relax.

"i should have done this to you!" I said to Deva, then Deva looked up and looked at me,

"you are now my wife, I must always make you comfortable by my side!" saith.

"i've always been comfortable by your side!" my answer.

"are you tired?" tanyakanya.

"yes little...!" my answer.

"change your clothes and go to sleep!"

I rushed to the bathroom to change clothes and wash my sticky face by make up.

It felt so fresh after washing my face, when I came out of the bathroom, I saw Deva standing in front of my open window, as if she was thinking about something, I don't know, I saw Deva standing in front of my window, he hasn't even changed his clothes.

I approached her and patted her shoulder slowly, she flinched, it seemed like I had already broken her daydream, she said,

"what are you thinking?" ask me after Deva looks at me.

"it's not. It's just an office problem!" he said in a flat tone, I felt he was lying to me.

"office trouble? what's wrong with the office?" ask again.

"just a little problem!" he held both my shoulders.

Deva brought her face closer and kissed my forehead briefly,

"sleep first, I still want to be here, after cleaning up I'll catch up with you!" said it.

"alright.." I said, I really feel very tired and want to immediately lay down in bed.

It didn't take long, I fell asleep, I don't know when Deva got into bed, when the morning prayer rang, I've seen him sleeping on my back.

I woke up to perform the morning prayer, I wanted to wake Deva to ask her to pray together but her face looked so exhausted that I could not bear to wake her up.

It was only after I finished praying that I intended to wake him up, no matter how tired this body is, praying remains an obligation that should not be missed.

"Deva. wake up!" I said slowly as I shook his shoulder slowly, Deva did not budge, her sleep was very slumbering.

I woke her up again, until she squirmed and opened her eyes slowly,

"what's wrong?" he said with half-open eyes.

"it's time to pray at dawn!" I said.

"well, a minute, I just fell asleep an hour ago!" saith.

"but at dawn there is not much. Pray first and after prayer you can sleep again!" I said softly.

Deva got up without answering, she went straight to the bathroom and prayed quickly, finished praying she went straight up to the bed and pulled the blanket until it covered almost her entire body.

Then I went to the kitchen to help mommy and made Sani prepare breakfast.

"wow the newlyweds?" goda mama's.

"what the hell is Mah.." I said embarrassedly, maybe you think me and Deva had missed a hot night last night, when in reality we were both exhausted and asleep.

"normally newlyweds don't have to go out of the room!" said mama again.

"o Allah, why can't you go out of the room? Dara is not Mah's prisoner!"

"surely last night you were exhausted, and now it's time to rest!" mamah said in a seductive tone, making my face meet with shame.

"what the hell is Mah!!!" I said then I chose to go back into the room.

But what am I in the room for? Deva was still asleep with her slumber, though,
