"There are many reasons why I want to take you home."
Alesha just stared at Devan, without chiming in on his words. It felt like Alesha was very stiff when she was faced with someone who spoke too much formal language.
"First of all, I am the backbone of the family. I no longer have a father and I have to support my mother and my sister who is still in school. Second, my mother was often sickly so I also had to monitor her condition every day even though there were sisters taking care of her. You take it easy, at home there is already a maid you do not need to do homework. Enough with Mom because I often come home late."
Alesha scrunched her forehead. Even Alesha yawned several times hearing Devan's words that were as long as a speech person.
"Third, because..." Devan stopped his words. "Sometimes you will understand one of the most important reasons of all cliches."
Alesha propped up her chin while winking. "Have you been Mr Devan? I don't understand what you mean." Finally Alesha let out a rough breath. "Sir Devan can not if talking not like a doctor to a patient or an official who is speaking in public. Ordinary to talk about it. My head is getting dizzy." Alesha stood up and took off her hijab. "Part of talking to high school children does not need to be polite."
Devan just held back his laughter. He knew exactly that Alesha was indeed very chatty since childhood.
"Sir Devan, gini." Alesha looked at Devan. "We are married but I am still not ready if I have to one bed let alone touch each other. About our first meeting, forget that I ever touched Mr. Devan. I didn't mean it."
"Yes, I, uh, I mean. Yes, I understand."
"Good, that's the language. Let it be closer and easier to understand." Then Alesha went into the bathroom to wash herself.
Devan now has his eyes out. She smiled as she looked at the teddy bear on Alesha's bed.
"These dolls are still Alesha's keeping?" muttered Devan while grabbing the doll. Alesha remembered it all along.
He remembered very well, he used to deliberately save from the results of busking it to buy Alesha a doll. Yeah, his life used to be hard. It takes a lot of effort to get to this stage.
"Don't hold my doll." Alesha pulled her doll from Devan's hand. "It's my beloved doll." Then Alesha looked at Devan in full search. "The person who loves this doll is also called Devan. But not Mr. Devan, is it?"
Devan stiffened immediately. Should he answer Alesha's question honestly?
"But it's impossible. Mr. Devan is a very stiff man."
Devan just smiled a little. He was now staring at Alesha who was only wearing a bathrobe.
"Sir Devan see what?" Alesha clenched her chest. "Don't look weird. Get out, I'll change."
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After Devan passed, Alesha put on her pajamas. "Beautiful, but very stiff. Kayak kanibo dried." After that Alesha put herself on the bed. "Today's a gripe." It didn't take long for Alesha to fall asleep.
A little while later Devan came out of the bathroom and saw that Alesha had fallen asleep. He justifies Alesha's blanket. Devan kept staring at that pretty face. She still did not expect, the Alesha she once loved once had become hers.
Then he took a pillow and slept on the floor with only a rasfur carpet. For Devan, sleeping wherever so origin there is still a base and roof.
...***...
The next day, Devan helps Alesha pack her things. Although Alesha continued to mendumel because she was actually not willing to leave her beloved room.
"Lesha, bring important items first tomorrow can be repaid," said Fara. He is also helping his daughter.
"Kirain told everyone to bring Lesha back to this house."
Devan just smiled a little and brought Alesha's things out of the room.
"Right up, Ma. Lesha is tired of sleeping."
"Lesha, the ritual after marriage."
"Lesha is a child, don't understand."
"Yes, let Doctor Devan teach you later" Fara said with a laugh.
Alesha just sneered. Most of his stuff has been packed even by force.
"Lesha here." Fara pulled her daughter's hand to sit next to her. "Mama sure, you must be happy with Devan. Although you are half-hearted, never be rude with Devan ya and you also have to be respectful with Devan's mother. Think of her as your own mother."
"Yes, Ma." Alesha hugged her Mom. "But Mama still considers Lesha Mama's son right?"
"Yes dear. Sure oes. If you want to play every day at home is okay but must still go home with Devan."
"Yes, Ma."
"All that?" ask Devan.
Alesha now took off her embrace. "Say this box. Let me take it."
"Let me take it."
Then Alesha put on her sling bag and carried her doll. Then he walked to the front of the house with his mother.
"Don't you guys go home now, because Dad's having a meeting at the office."
After saying goodbye to Fara they both got into the car. Moments later, Devan's car drove to his house.
No conversation in the car. Only Alesha was busy playing her teddy bear.
"Do you like to play with dolls?" ask Devan.
Alesha doesn't immediately talk to Devan. He hugged the doll. "Because only this doll has never hurt my feelings." After that Alesha looked at the streets.
Devan just took a deep breath. Every now and then he glanced at Alesha who was daydreaming.
