The flashback
At that time Devan was 7 years old, because of lack of attention from his father and stepmother, Devan was closer to his caretaker than he was since infancy, his name was Hilda.
Hilda was a childless widow at the age of 25. Hilda was widowed at the age of 18 when she married young. After failing in her household, Hilda gets a job at Mahendra's house as a cute little babysitter named Devano Mahendra.
At first he was surprised by Sandra's different behavior to his two sons. Gradually he also knew the truth that Devan was not the biological child of Sandra.
Since then Hilda promised the tiny baby will take care and love her with all her heart.
Even without Hilda asking, since Devan was good at talking he called her mother.
"Mother Devan wants to come to the village!!!" little Rengek Devan when he saw Hilda was packing to go home.
"Don't den, later the mother scolded the same master mistress" said Hilda gently trying to give understanding to this handsome boy who was whining.
"They won't care about Devan, if you come home, Devan will be lonely" Devan said.
"Hmmm okay, I tried to talk and mjnta permission to grandma aden first. Do not be sad again, the handsome will fade" persuaded Hilda.
Little Devan just nodded obediently.
******
After asking permission from the Rose, Hilda was allowed to bring Devan to her village. On condition that they will return home and be picked up by Devan's personal driver.
Because the village of Hilda is located in a hilly area, the streets are winding and climbing. But surrounded by a stretch of tea plantations that are very pampering the eyes.
"Den if the cape is better aden bobok course yes" said Hilda saw her employer's son was still fun to see the scenery they went through.
"No ma'am, Devan doesn't cape!! Even Devan is happy" said the boy cheerfully.
Hilda just smiled warmly at the child she had cared for since the baby.
It doesn't feel like they've reached their destination.
Devan is carried by Dayat, his personal driver, while Hilda is busy carrying the bag she brought from the city.
"Assalamualaikum" said Hilda.
"Walaikumsalam" an old woman replied as she opened the door.
"Who is this hilda??" ask Halimah who is none other than Hilda's mother.
"This is the son of Hilda's master who often told Hilda, she ngerenguh want to join Hilda, and this is mas Dayat he's a private driver den Devan" explained Hilda.
"Kasian really must be tired on the road, let's take him to the room so that his sleep is good" said Ms. Halimah.
After tidying up the luggage, and Dayat had returned to the city now it's time for Hilda to rest.
But when he entered his room, apparently his foster child was awake.
"Mom did we get home" asked Devan enthusiastically.
"Already den, let's ask you to meet with grandma" invited Hilda who approved Devan.
"Ehh handsome boy is awake, how's the bob good??" tanya ma'am Halimah and only answered a nod by Devan.
Devan felt sincerity from the look in Halimah's eyes, his heart immediately warmed.
"Where are you going???" ask Devan.
"Grandmother wants to go to the garden for a while" said Ms. Halimah.
"Devan wants to come, Miss Devan can you go with grandma to the garden??" devan's permission on Hilda.
"Yes okay, but not far from the grandmother yaa, and if there is anything about the name just say the name aden Vano yes" said Hilda.
The change in the name of Devan during the village was the request of the Rose Grandpa. He was afraid that if anyone knew Devan was a descendant of the Mahendra family it would harm Devan.
Because Hilda wanted to let go of her fatigue for a while then she allowed Devan to come with her mother, besides her garden is also not too far from home.
While Halimah's mom was weeding the grass on her vegetable crop, Devan was engrossed in chasing the flying dragonflies. But still within the reach of the grandmother, because she always remembered what her foster mother said.
Sayup I heard the sound of a girl crying.
Because his voice sounded not so far away, with curiosity Devan approached the voice of the little woman.
"Youngd"
"Why are you crying???" devan asked the 4-year-old girl.
"The bitch Mutia is missing" the cute girl said as she pointed up. Which means his toy locust flew off.
"Let's find a new grasshopper" Devan asked.
The little Tiara wiped away her tears, and ran after Devan. Merka also played with her typical carefree children.
From a distance, Halimah smiled calmly to see her son look happy to play with his new friend, Mutia.
"It looks like Mutia is happy to have a new friend" said Mr. Munawar who happened to have his garden next to Halimah's bu garden.
Tiara often went to the garden with her father, because at home she likes to bother her sister Susan who was still a baby.
"Yes war, I am also happy to see it" said Ms. Halimah.
So this is the first time that Tiara and Devan have met.
"The sister of earlier we played but had not had time to acquaintance" said Devan. Honestly from the first moment of seeing Tiara he liked her a lot. Her cute face, plump eyelashes and round eyes. Makes Devan always anxious to pinch his cheek.
"Whose sister's name is??" ask Tiara.
"Sister Vano's name" he replied.
Tiara just paled her lips.
"My name is Pearl" Tiara said curiously.
"If you call me cute, can I?" ask Devan.
And a nod by Tiara.
"Mutia come home son!!!" take the father.
"Sister, cute come home first huh. Later cute to play at Halimah's mother's house, so we can play again brother Vano" said Tiara.
And Devan is.
