Delayed Happy
Chapter 20's
Early in the morning Devan was up and getting ready to go with the group who would be involved in the project.
Last night Devan also had permission on Bayu that he would go a few days for work.
Outside Devan is already in wait by the driver who will be with him later during the trip to the village.
“Place pack.” Devan's orders after getting into that car.
The car drove away from his residence to where everyone gathered before going to the village.

After a long and tiring journey, the group finally reached their destination.
They stopped at an inn that had been provided in the village.
“Color today we all must be tired so we should just rest first. Tomorrow morning new we'll all be together into that market.” Info of one of the project's managers.
Devan then went to enter his room, the long journey made his body tired and Devan could not sleep well during the trip.
“Hhhh, my body aches all.” Devan complained while sighing.
Devan laid his body directly on the minimalist mattress.
***
In the same village but different places.
Vina, Naya and Adi were sitting together enjoying their dinner.
All focused on their food, there would occasionally be small talk at that dining table.
After the simple dinner was finished, Vina moved quickly to clean all the dirty dishes, while Naya and Adi were already ahead.
When all her work was done, Vina followed them forward.
“So tomorrow the stall does not open?” Adi asked Vina who had just landed her body on a wooden chair in the room.
“Iya daddy. The plan is tomorrow I want to accompany Naya all day, pity also maybe I was too busy with stalls to not pay too much attention to Naya.” Answer Vina.
“Yeayy, finally tomorrow mother can accompany Naya at school until finished.” The joy of the little girl.
Apparently Naya listened to the conversation of the two adults.
Vina shook her head at the behavior of her little angel, this simple thing alone could make Naya happy.
“You happy?” Vina asked teasing the little girl.
“One thoughtful mother.” Seru Naya steady.
That made Vina and Adi in the room laugh.
They look very happy, the happiness they get just in a simple way.

Next morning.
Devan and his entourage are preparing to review the location.
The journey to the location takes only a few minutes.
There was someone waiting for them, the groups were led through the market to see what needed to be repaired.
No time shows at 12 p.m. The review process has been completed, they only need to hold another meeting to discuss things that must be done later.
“Where is a good place to eat? It's lunchtime.” Speak wrongly from the group that is there.
“Actually a good place to eat is in front, but it looks like today is not open.” Said the person who had been their guide, he was also one of the local villagers.
“Sweetest. Is there anywhere else?” Ask that guy again.
“It looks like we should go back to the inn and eat on the spot there only.” Propose one of them.
Devan was just silent, his body was still tired especially in addition to the hot weather that day.
On the way Devan just kept silent while glancing out the car window.
Devan accidentally saw the silhouette of a woman who was very similar to the woman he had been looking for.
The woman turned her back on the street, looking down like she was doing something to the little boy in front of her.
The car passed the woman and the little boy. Devan's eyes continued to watch them, even Devan had to turn his head back just to see the two people.
I don't know why Devan seems interested and curious in the two people. Devan could only see the little boy's face but she couldn't see it because she was looking down with her hair draped over the sides of her face.
The woman's posture was so similar to her.
What's wrong with me, I've gone crazy thinking about Vina.
Devan continued to stare at the woman until slowly their shadow was lost because of the car that continued to drive forward.

“Completed.” Said Vina while standing from her squatting position.
Vina and Naya were walking home from school, that day according to her promise Vina accompanied Naya at school to completion.
On the way, Naya's shoelaces had come off to almost make the girl fall down to the front, fortunately, Vina quickly caught Naya and squatted down to fix Naya's shoelaces and tied her tightly.
“Ayo street. We should get home soon and cook for grandpa.” Vina again.
“Siap mother. Today Naya wants to help you cook.” The woman was happy. Today the mood of the little girl was happy because it was accompanied by Vina.
“Good son.” Reply Vina smiled.
The mother and son continued their steps towards the simple and comfortable home they had been sheltering in.
Along the way home Naya continues to hum to sing children's songs that she knows.
“We go home.” Vina said after arriving home.
“Kakek.” Sapa Naya while running hugging Adi.
“Change clothes first dear, he said to help mom cook.” Vina reminded the little girl.
“Oh yes, sorry to forget mother.” Naya Grin.
Vina walks straight into the kitchen, while Naya goes to the room to change her school uniform.
Vina began to bring out her cooking skills, her hands nimblely cutting and peeling the ingredients.
“Mother, Naya can help what?” Said Naya who had just arrived in the kitchen.
“Please wash vegetables yes dear.” Vina's Leech gently.
The little girl immediately grabbed the pan containing the pieces of vegetables. While Vina refocused on the fish she was cooking.

Back to Devan.
The man did not focus on his food, his mind was still attached to the little boy and the woman he only saw from behind but managed to unsettle his heart.
“What is the food not good Mr Devan?” Ask one of Devan's co-workers who saw Devan from earlier just silently daydreaming with his hands busy stirring the food on his plate.
“Ha, no. It's tasty.” Elak Devan scoops food into his mouth.
Each one focused on their food.
