Marrying an Abuser's Ex-Husband

MMSP2ND. Chapters. 38

"Ma ... We'd like to be picked up by Aris. Isn't that right, Hasna?" Hasan nudged the brother's arm.

"Yes, Pa. We'd like to be picked up by Aris. We are sorry that you are tired of cooking," replied little Hasna with an adorable face.

"Alright then, thank you Aris," Hans said representing his son and wife.

"Together, Mas. Then Aris went back to the office first, Mas. See you tomorrow at the office" Aris said.

"Thank you, Ris." cried Tia who had already entered the house. He thought that if his brother would stop by first, he didn't.

"Together, Ma'am," Aris replied as she waved her hand.

Hans, Tia, Hasna and Hasan entered the house.

"You guys change clothes first just like Yuni ya, mama will prepare her hammer," said Tia directly to the kitchen.

"Okey, Ma" replied Hasan and Hasna rushing into their rooms to change clothes.

Hans came closer to Tia, and she wrapped her hands around Tia's stomach.

"From giving martabak to Hasna and Hasan, you go straight to the room, baby. Just rest. Let Hasan and Hasna take care of me" Hans whispered in Tia's ear.

"Yes, Mom, yes. Thank you so much for accompanying Tia today." Tia pinched with a squeeze of Hans cheek from the side.

"Mas, keep going like this, yeah. Mutual trust and complement," said Tia suddenly made Hans immediately move his head to look at Tia. But the next few seconds he immediately drowned his face in the niche of Tia's neck.

2 Weeks passed, and for two weeks Aris took Hasna and Hasan. Half an hour later they had picked them up because he wanted to see the face of their teacher, Bu Devi. During this one week he also finds out about Bu Devi's family, life, and career.

Aris has started to get quite familiar with Hasna's new teacher, even he already has his mobile number and reason to tell if at any time he is late to pick up the children. Tia herself already knew that Aris was putting her feelings towards Bu Devi.

Of course he was very calm his sister was able to rise from the slump and love another woman who was obviously good. Later with his sister picking up his children he became helped and he no longer needed to bother to pick up his children.

Aris has sent Hasna and Hasan back to school because she wants to pick up Devi. He made an appointment to go to a cafe with Ms. Devi. They were no longer as awkward as the beginning of the meeting. They even talk to me using you.

While Bu Devi got into Aris' car, she smiled at Aris. Immediately Aris drove his car to the cafe. Arriving at the cafe they immediately headed to the chair that was booked by Aris.

"What do you want to order?" ask Aris.

"Just be with you" said Ms. Devi.

Aris felt closer to Bu Devi. Moreover, the hallmark of the woman who was meek. After a few minutes of chatting Aris finally decided to speak her intentions. Of course, his heart was beating faster than usual.

"Devi, I want us to have a more serious relationship together. I feel that we have a lot in common in our outlook on life and future dreams, and I want us to support and inspire each other on our journey."

Bu Devi was surprised by Aris' words, and she immediately flushed. She did not expect Aris to express her feelings on this day. Moreover, he knew Aris invited him to eat at the Cafe and nothing more.

"Aris, instead of me refusing but we've only known for a few weeks are you sure of your decision?" ask Miss Devi.

"Of course I'm sure, all this time I've been trying to figure out all your lives. I'm sure I didn't choose the wrong way and you God did for me" replied Aris trying to convince Ms. Devi.

"I know that you are the Uncle of Hasna and Hasan, there is absolutely nothing on my mind that you will enter into my life like this because I consider you playfully close to me like a man in general," said Ms Devi.

"Devi, for this age I don't want to mess around anymore and I want to focus on one woman only, you. Even I can guarantee you that I am sincere and I express this from the deepest of hearts" Aris said.

"Aris, I can't give you the answer right now but if you're serious about what you say I want you to come to my house to ask permission directly to my parents. God willing if they agree I will accept an offer from you, besides I also want to be serious in a relationship."

Aris smiles at the reply from Bu Devi, he himself can't wait to come to Devi's house to express his good intentions. But even like that he still felt groggy. Apparently he had to go home soon to talk about this matter to his brother and sister-in-law.

***

While at Hans's residence, the couple was quite confused because their sister asked them to gather in the family room. He said there was something important he had to say. So now the three of them had gathered in the living room of Hans' residence.

Tonight Aris will talk about her intention to come to the Devi residence. He will say that he has put his feelings to the teacher of his nephew. Tell her unbeknownst to her brother and sister-in-law that she investigated Devi alone.

"So brother, I spoke to Devi about all this. I really love her and I want her to be my wife" Aris said.

"She wanted to, but she wanted me to come to her residence as a form of seriousness. He handed over his decision to his parents. I kept telling him that I would visit his house soon" Aris said.

"God, you didn't think that your soul mate was Hasna's teacher. You should be thanking your sister because she told you to pick up Hasna at school. If only brother did not tell you, you can be sure you will not find your soul mate," said Tia proudly.

"Yes, brother, thank you very much. I myself did not expect to put such a deep feeling into Devi. Even every time I get close to her my heart is pounding. Then there was anger when he got close to another man" Aris replied.

"Are you so close, Devi?" ask Hans.

Aris nodded her head. "Yes, for two weeks I tried to get close to him and it turned out that he was very welcome to people who wanted to be close to him. Moreover, his personality is good and he is very fond of children. Every time I pick up Hasan and Hasna, she's always waiting for me to come in front of the school gates."

"Alright, tomorrow we'll come to Devi's house. Later brother will prepare everything for tomorrow so you just have to prepare yourself. Brother pray that Devi's family receives a proposal from you, because of your happiness Brother's happiness as well" said Tia with a smile.

"Yes, thank you for your help and support. Brother also does not need to bother to get everything really, if I can for sure I will prepare it myself," said Aris.

Tia and Hans were so happy, because in the end their sister had found a new woman who could replace Alya in her heart. We are both excited to wait for tomorrow. Aris also looks happy since she knew Devi.

Even now he is much more open than still dating Alya. Devi did bring a good influence to Aris. Because of the sisters they can rise from the slump. According to them, Aris was really mature to come directly to the Devi residence to propose to the woman.

Even they weren't sure there was a man as brave as Aris. Alya must be sorry that she has betrayed Aris, Aris is a good person and she is full of responsibility. Look, now their sister is smiling happily. Can't wait for tomorrow. Hans told his assistant to prepare for the things to bring tomorrow.

The night is getting late, Hans and Tia are in their room. Aris has returned home, so in this house only they and their children are left. Since that incident they no longer care about Alya's life. Wherever she goes, they don't care either.

"Mas, Aris must be very happy if the family receives a proposal from him. But what if the Devi family doesn't like Aris? I'm sure Aris will be disappointed with this" Tia said.

"Don't think like that, baby. We must pray that the Devi family will receive a proposal from Aris. We'll just call if Devi is the teacher of our children and the artist is our sister, God willing the proposal from Aris will be accepted by the Devi family," Hans replied.

"Yes, I hope the same. I also can't imagine that such a proposal was rejected by the Tia family," said Tia.

"God, we better get some sleep. Tomorrow we have to come to the Devi residence, later we will take Hasna and Hasan as well. They were happy to come to their teacher's house. He said my assistant's preparation is almost 100 percent, the university overtime brand is preparing for all this" Hans said.

"Thank God, so tomorrow we'll just leave."

***

After planning everything carefully, Aris heads to Devi's house to ask Devi's parents for permission to propose to her. He felt tense knowing that this was an important step in his life. He is accompanied by Tia and Hans.

When she arrives at Devi's house, Aris is greeted warmly by Devi's parents. They sat together in the living room, enjoying a glass of tea provided by Devi's mother.

After chatting for a while, Aris finally expressed her intentions to Devi's parents. He explains that he loves Devi very much and wants to ask her permission to propose.

"We really appreciate your kind intentions, Aris," Devi's father said in a soft voice.

"You are a good young man and you have a future. I actually accepted your intentions well. First of all I want to thank you for coming to my house. Just try asking Devi, when she wants to have a relationship and a bond with you then I will agree."

Devi's mother nodded her head with Devi's father's decision.

Aris stood up and took the ring out of his pocket. "Devi, will you marry me and be a life partner forever?" ask her while opening the ring box.

Devi looked at the ring expectantly and finally nodded. "Yes, Aris. I want to," he answered.

Aris smiles happily and puts the ring on Devi's ring finger. The two hugged each other and celebrated their happy moments.

"I'm so happy, Devi," Aris said as she looked into Devi's eyes lovingly. "I will always love you and take good care of you."

Devi smiled and returned Aris's gaze. "I will always love you, Aris. We're gonna live this life together and support each other."

Everyone here was relieved that Devi was willing to accept Aris' proposal. Hans and Tia were moved to the point that they didn't even think that God-given destiny would be this beautiful after a passing storm. They're really happy.

"Don't be sad, we should be happy with this moment. We better just eat, I deliberately cook a special to welcome your arrival."

They ate together to tighten the strings of this brotherhood. Having obtained permission from Devi's parents, Aris gets closer to Devi. Even the two people were like stamps attached to each other. Devi's parents are also very kind and welcome them like a family.

"Aris, Devi, congratulations on your proposal. We are both very happy because this event is going on very smoothly. May you continue together until death do us part, we need something you should not hesitate to ask us for help" Tia said.

Aris and Devi smiled, Devi thought Aris would not come here. But it turns out that he really proved his point to come here.
