Finished with the dinner, Lovi cleaned the cookware he had used. Devan is still in the pantry. Somehow the man did not return to his room and continued to sleep.
Lovi deliberately did everything slowly. He was afraid that Devan was still there because he had the purpose of asking for service from him after all he had succeeded.
Devan watched Lovi from behind. He's saturated. But his satiety didn't make him leave the kitchen.
"I know you avoided it on purpose,"
Lovi's hand that was rinsing the dishes they had eaten had stopped moving. He froze when he heard footsteps behind him.
The danger alarm in his brain instantly sounded. He gasps when his waist is touched by Devan, Yes it is Devan because the aroma is very recognizable by Lovi.
Lovi turned around with a hand that still had foam, he did it suddenly until Devan's face was targeted by the foam. Lovi panicked and scared. He cursed his stupidity.
"My eyes are sad, you idiot!" maki Devan removes Lovi from the sink. He will rinse his eyes exposed to the foam of dish soap.
"Sorry, sir." lovi cici behind Devan who is still busy relieving the pain in his eyes.
Lovi poked her head forward to look at Devan's eyes. Along with Devan who looked. He made sure there was no more foam there. Although the pain still pierced his corneas.
Lovi stood up straight and awkwardly. He pulled back his face that was almost in contact with Devan's face.
"Pardon me, sir." said the woman stammeringly.
What punishment will He receive after this, O Lord?
"I'll make you unable to walk tomorrow!"
Lovi shouted in shock as his body was lifted by Devan all of a sudden. The man did it as easily as if he was carrying cotton.
"Sir..."
Lovi turns his face away when Devan wants to give a kiss. Seeing that rejection, Devan was not offended like before. Now he's even feeling anxious?
Really anxious?
Uh! I don't know, Devan doesn't know if it turns out he can feel like this if they explore their role well as husband and wife.
******
Vanilla was seen coming down the stairs to her parents who were watching television. Vanilla paid no heed to Devan and Elea who were currently at the dining table staring at him who was walking with annoyed steps.
Vanilla slams her body on the sofa opposite Raihan and Rena.
Vanilla looked at Rena who was frowning looking at her. Seeing an upset mimic on her daughter's face, Rena was sure there was something Vanilla wanted to say.
"I want the one who cleaned my room is Lovi not another" vanilla said, folding both hands in front of her chest.
Devan turned his head for a moment when he heard Vanilla say. It did not escape Elea's sight. Seeing the reaction that the man showed when Lovi's name reached his ears, an odd feeling was present in Elea's heart.
Feeling noticed by her lover, Devan tries to re-rilex. She was afraid that Elea had misinterpreted her attitude.
Rena was silent and did not respond. He is confused what to talk to Vanilla who is always looking for trouble with Lovi.
Vanilla turned to Raihan when she saw Rena was more concerned with her entertainment on Television.
"They denied me, Pa. They should've listened to my words for that they were paid,"
"You're too childish, Vanilla. Lovi's not a waitress here. He's your brother too,"
Hearing that, Vanilla grew sullen. His heart was already growling inadmissibly.
"You remember Lovi was Devan's wife,"
Elea sighed as she came back to hear the fact that made her hurt.
Devan chewed his food slowly when he heard Vanilla answering Raihan with a trembling voice.
"Papa didn't teach you to be impudent, Vanilla!"
The atmosphere turned tense as Raihan spoke with great emphasis. According to Raihan, Vanilla has gone too far. Many servants in this mansion were able to do the task.
"You're an adult and you should be able to do anything on your own. What life did you live during your separation from mom and dad?"
"Papa was overdone in protecting that woman,"
Rena commemorates Vanilla through the look in her eyes. Vanilla will get the consequences if it still denies Raihan's remarks.
"Papa meant to protect her because papa was in a relationship with such a woman?"
Raihan's teeth grumbled as his lips thinned trying to contain the outpouring of anger that dominated him.
"Woman******, I mean."
BRAKKS
Everyone jumped in shock when they saw the burly hand of Raihan who had just nearly smashed the table in front of him.
Conditions were not possible therefore Devan took Elea away from the dining table. Elea can't hear that discussion. Because it will have a bad impact on his mental.
"Take care of what you say, Vanilla!"
"Wh...."
Vanilla had not yet responded to Raihan's sentence, Rena immediately denied it with a loud warning.
"Vanilla! You don't deserve to say that. It's none of your business!"
Vanilla has been too involved in her parents' personal problems. Past mistakes are not worth re-evaluating. Enough to make it a lesson.
"I'm just saying what's in my brain. Not wrong, is it?"
"Your voice is getting worse!" Snapped Raihan with a hand pointing at Vanilla with a bang.
"Before you talk about behavioral problems. Try Papa in the mirror. So that you can see how much bad behavior you used to do to me, Mama and Devan. The easiest example is when Papa leaves Papa's responsibility for us for the sake of women ****** out there,"
The topic of conversation has spread in all directions. Vanilla can't control herself.
Devan returns in the middle of a family quarrel after driving Elea to her room. He looked at his sister.
"Just because of the little things you've been acting like this, Vanilla? Then do what you want. I'm freeing you for that,"
Rena looked at her son in disbelief. What did he just hear? Devan gives Vanilla the freedom to treat Lovi badly.
Raihan smiled slantedly glancing at Devan.
"You're crazy!" The hardship distracts Devan from his sister.
"He was indeed fit to carry out Vanilla's orders,"
"Treat him all you want! If he denies it, don't hesitate to hurt him,"
As light as cotton he gave permission to his sister. The sentence does sound cruel but the other corner of Devan's heart strongly rejects Vanilla's wishes. Devan is sure there is no good in him anymore. But what has happened lately is quite the opposite.
"It's free for Papa to tell you. I think God is tired of seeing your behavior. Whatever, Devan. Like what you said, Lovi is yours, only you can hurt him. And that's why, if something happens to Lovi or your marriage, don't expect anything from anyone else. Live your karma alone,"
As hard as Raihan warned him, as cruel as Raihan gave a bad shadow that will happen in the marriage of Devan, did not bring meaningful change to Devan. He remains firm on his principles.
