Delayed Happy
Chapter 18's
Devan stood under the shower letting the running water wet his entire body. His mind was currently very chaotic if he thought back to Bayu's words.
Argh.
The man screamed in despair.
Devan quickly finished his bathing ritual.
After wearing a bathrobe, Devan walked towards the mirror in the bathroom.
Devan stood up while staring at the reflection of his face in the mirror, a face that looked very chaotic and desperate.
While shaking their heads “No. I'm not ready with this.” Devan spoke to himself in front of the mirror.
His mind suddenly bleng since his conversation with Bayu earlier.
***
Elsewhere, Vina and Naya are getting ready for bed.
Lovingly Vina placed the blanket on her little angel.
“Mother, tomorrow morning accompany Naya to school until finished.” The little girl suddenly.
Vina frowned confusedly, not usually Naya like this.
“But unfortunately tomorrow morning you already have to go to the stall to cook and have to open the stall also.” Vina is soft.
“Mother, Naya also wants to be like Naya's other friends. They are accompanied by their father or mother until school, while Naya is always alone. Naya only has a mother, father does not exist. So only mother can ask Naya to be accompanied just like Naya's other friends.” Polos Naya speaking.
Vina felt her heart as if it was sliced to hear the words of the child. During this time Naya will always be delivered by Adi or Vina to school and after that they will return home. Every time Naya went home from school, she would ride with their neighbor's children until she got home.
“Naya dear, mother can not accompany because mother has to work. All mother do for Naya later so that she can go to school until success.”
“But the mother promises, later the mother will accompany this beautiful mother child for one full day. But not tomorrow yes, mother has already been shopping to open a stall today. If today the mother does not open, it is a mess of the ingredients so rotten and can not be cooked again.” Vina gave an understanding.
“Ya already.” Naya replied in a disappointed tone.
Vina who saw the look on Naya's disappointed face so bad.
Especially Naya had mentioned about dad. Vina was always afraid that Naya had offended or asked about dad. It's a sensitive thing for him.
Not because of anything, but Vina was afraid of not being able to answer the child's question. Vina was also afraid of not being able to give a proper explanation later.
“Come to sleep.” Take Vina while lying next to the little girl.

Next day.
Photos of her and the woman she loved so much, past and present.
Only Devan knows his heart now.
Devan's daydreams caved in instantly upon hearing the knock of the door.
“Log.” The law from within.
Devan then put the picture frame back in place.
“Morning pack.” The greeting of that person was none other than Viko, Devan's secretary.
“What's up?” Ask Devan directly.
“Previously sorry sir, I want to say that for a project visit later it seems I can not come to represent the company.” Answer Viko.
“Why?” Devan asked as he frowned.
“My mother is sick sir so I have to take care and keep her in hospital.” Answer Viko again.
Hearing about the mother reminds Devan of the mother who died a few years ago.
Although Santi sometimes makes Devan upset but Santi is still the mother who has given birth to him. There was guilt in the man because there was nothing in the last moments of the mother.
“Ya already, let me come with them to represent the company. You take good care of your mother as long as she's still around.” Devan said.
There was a look of relief that Devan could see from his secretary's face.
“Can I also leave the pack for a few days until my mother's condition improves?” Doubt Viko. He is afraid Devan will not allow, especially no one to take care of the work later when Devan leaves.
The answer that Devan issued this time was beyond the expectations of Viko.
“Ya.” Short solid and clear but very meaningful to Viko.
“Thank you sir, thank you.” Viko said with excitement.
After the business was finished, Viko was ready to return to her room. While Devan, the man tried to focus on the files on his desk.
The man tried to focus on his work that had been delayed because he thought about Vina.
