Devin closed the front door and walked back to the dining room. There's no one there. There was a sound from the backyard where Mona's distinctive voice shrieked as Luna spilled the sausage.
Devin smiled slightly then headed straight for the backyard. There they all stood around the firepit while warming themselves up. The air of the mini mala is quite cold.
When Devin gets next to Mona, Mona immediately offers him a pack of potato chips. Devin smiled slightly and grabbed some to eat.
Mona looked at Devin fixedly then asked quickly, “Why can that person be friends with you?”
“Gama? Ah, it just so happens that our businesses cross so we help each other.”
Mona narrowed her eyes trying to read Devin's face.
“Are you not familiar with Gama while in college?”
“Akrabic. Appreciable. Where is she anyway?”
“He must go. There are a few things he seems to have to do.”
“Ah, she is always busy.”
“Haha you sound like you are really familiar with him.”
Mona just snorted and ate more potato chips. The night was spent with those sitting around the fire exchanging stories. More precisely, hearing papa-mama tell a story.
The two continued to tell the story until finally Mona asked, “Wait first, meaning papa together mama met at SMA?”
Papa nods, “Mama you used to be the top girl in school.”
“Seriously? Whoa...”
“But it was yes. Now yes…. You guys see for yourself.”
Mama looked at the fierce papa then replied, “As long as you know, papa you were once thugs and super stupid. Almost all in the subjects he got ugly grades.”
“Means mama married a fool huh?” ask Mona.
“Yups. Good thing now it's divorced.”
Everyone laughed a little at it. Mona glanced at Luna who was now staring fixedly at papa.
His eyes are not friendly eyes. He looks like a predator watching his prey.
Now Mona is more curious about the reason Luna is so avoiding papa.
After being satisfied with each other's jokes, at 10 pm Devin finally decided to return. So too with papa. Mona drove the two forward.
Arriving in front, Devin suddenly stopped and turned to face Mona and said, “You want to go for a walk?”
“When?”
“Entai, tomorrow may.”
Mona frowned, “I'm not the head of a company like you that's free to do everything. I think papa will scold me if I ditch.”
“True too. When did you leave?”
“So, I just took a big project so it might be busy lately.”
“So. If I stop by your office is okay?”
“Haha for what?”
“As we could have lunch with.”
“OK deal yes means.”
Mona smiled broadly at hearing that. The two looked at each other for a moment and Devin suddenly raised his hand and placed it on Mona's head. Devin stroked the top of Mona's head gently and affectionately.
It made Mona lowered her head slowly and then blushed in embarrassment.
Looking at that scene papa, mama, and Luna could only smile a little.
Devin stopped the swab and said, “I go first. See you tomorrow.”
Mona nods awkwardly and watches Devin and Papa climb into the car. In the end the car they were riding in walked away.
As Mona turns around, she finds Mama and Luna smiling broadly showing their teeth towards Mona. Mona who was embarrassed just snorted and went into the house.
Mona goes to her old room, locks the door and throws her body into the bed. Mona drowned her head on the pillow and then shouted with all her might.
Of course her voice was muffled by the pillow, but Luna who was passing in front of her room could still hear Mona yelling.
After feeling somewhat kind, Mona raised her face slightly paying attention to the wall of her room.
His heart was still pounding, happy to be able to spend time with Devin. The man by himself gave Mona the attention and touch of happiness she wanted.
The little feelings that make us smile, make us happy, make us feel protected, all that Mona felt when she was with Devin.
Mona turned her body and lay facing the ceiling of her room. I don't know why he feels like a teenager in love.
Hugging tightly onto her pillow, Mona slowly drifted in her joyful feeling of forgetting the figure of Gama who was actually there.

Gama drives at high speed to his grandfather's old office which he now uses. The office was located in the city center, when finally Gama's car began to appear from a distance, several large guards immediately stood by the side of the road to greet him.
Gama got out of the car and one of the guards got into the car to take the car to the basement.
Gama passed by the guards who lined up neatly letting Gama through. Arriving at the small shophouse that was transformed into the office, Gama immediately went up and headed for the workspace.
Gama threw the body on his grandfather's favorite high velvet chair and leaned his shoulders there. I don't know why he felt so tired today.
From tomorrow Gama will have to go the extra mile to ensure their victory. Perhaps more accurately, Devin's victory.
Thinking of that the shadow about Devin having dinner with Mona immediately flashed in Gama's mind.
A few hours ago Gama was walking down the cold aisle of the night market district when his informant informed him about Devin's older brother Felix and the Caligists.
Gama immediately went to where Devin was. He never thought Devin and Mona knew each other. Especially close. But Gama remained professional and as much as possible kept his eyes away from Mona.
But all of that is too difficult. Gama just spent the night with Mona yesterday. Pretending so makes it a little uncomfortable.
But because now all is done, Gama only needs to focus on his work.
But still the thought of Devin and Mona continues to bother him. Gama scratched his head then turned on the loudspeaker in the corner of the room and turned the piano game so soft.
The melody of the classic song really calmed him down. Suddenly interspersed with the piano game was heard the voice of a woman who said, “You can repeat it?”
“No.”
“Come, try first, Gam.”
“Gak.”
“Hah…. How do you want to play if you don't want to play?”
“I'd rather you play.”
Hearing that Gama smiled slightly. He remembered the next moments. That woman will definitely pinch her gnarled cheeks.
Those memories of the past made her smile. It's been 10 years since his death. Never a day is left unturned for Gama without remembering the girl.
The first love always comes out. But for Gama, there is no such thing as first love. There is only one. He was the only one who could make Gama so alive.
