My Cruel Husband's

Distraction from past grudges

Devan smiled at the care of his children. After putting the money into the place provided by the woman, Adrian and Andrean did not immediately return. They listened to the song until the end only after they left.

"Pity them, Andrean."

"They just have less luck. That's why we should always be grateful,"

They ran towards Devan and were immediately carried by Devan. "Daddy is strong, too, carrying us both,"

"There's nothing in the weight of the two of you," Devan entered the cafe that would be his meeting place with Deni at this time.

Deni suddenly invited him to meet and because he was quality time with his children in a mall not far from the cafe, then all he took them.

Apparently Deni arrived first. The man seemed to be smoking an expensive cigarette tucked between his lips and then exhaling smoke casually.

"Please sit down, big boss."

"What do you want to see me? a miss? heh?"

"Curtain, miss you? I already have a wife. My wife rarely misses me. The time I missed you?"

"Don't have much fun then. I've been curious about what you're going to talk about,"

"Dad, have a drink. We come to the cafe just sit?"

Devan turned his focus to his second son who sounded so thirsty even though he had been drinking continuously. This kid likes to interrupt.

"Message whatever you want,"

Adrian nodded happily then called waitress. "I want one avocado juice,"

"I want hot chocolate" said Andrean when waitress looked at him after taking notes on his sister's order.

"That's it?"

"Yes, I had eaten earlier," said Adrian who was not actually asked 'have eaten or not?'

After waitress left and felt no more disturbing things, Deni immediately turned off the fire from the tobacco he had sucked and he took a sip of water for a while.

"Do you remember Arnold?"

"Arnold's? who was my friend in college?"

"Yes, never." pressed Deni on his last word. He looked at Devan's two children and they seemed busy themselves, playing their respective iPads.

"He was calm in prison,"

"Huh, who said it?"

"You mean?"

"Then he met me,"

"Oh, is the sentence over?"

"Either you're done or you run, I don't know. But there's more to it than discussing it, Devan."

"What?" Devan has not heard more explanations but his jaw has hardened. Considering Arnold is also quite close to Devan just as Deni once carved a dark past for Devan.

"He'll ruin your life again,"

Devan chuckles cynically. With sharp eyes full of anger He hissed, "It won't work. If you ever see her again, tell her that I'm not afraid of her threats. Stupid Devan will never come back again,"

"I'm saying this so that you're as vigilant as you are with your family. It's undeniable, Arnold is a dangerous figure to you, Devan, even if you're stronger than him because he's sneaky! he can do anything to everyone he hates,"

"I'm confused by that stupid brain. Because revenge is not clear he could betray his friend. You yourself know that it wasn't me who was wrong, but he stayed with his superficial thoughts until finally a grudge arose for me,"

"I know you're not wrong,"

"Huh! a long time ago my drink came," Adrian put his iPad on the table.

"That's her. You're impatient,"

Andrean's eyes led to the waiter who brought two drinks he ordered and also the younger brother.

"He knows what's important in your life. Lovi, and your three children,"

"Damn it!"

"Face calmly and don't be careless. If you need my help, don't hesitate to say it,"

*******

"Aunty, didn't you buy me a robot? it was already the second day after Aunty said 'later afternoon'. In fact, it has not been bought to this day,"

"Oh yeah, my God. Aunty forgot, Aunty took a shower, we went to buy it yeah,"

"When did you shower? tomorrow or the day after?"

"Wait a minute. Aunty took a quick shower. I just got home from college so I have to clean up first,"

"I should take a shower later. If you take another shower, it'll get dirty again,"

"This child is really impatient" his grunts and he immediately went into his room to clean himself.

Seeing her son tearing in annoyance, Lovi frowned confusedly. "Why, Adrian? mommy should have come in well-received,"

"Adrian wants to buy a robot, but Aunty keeps delaying,"

"Hey, not delaying. Maybe Aunty hasn't had time yet,"

"Mommy from the boutique?"

"Yes, where else?"

"Why just got home?" lovi's son this one is very possessive. Seeing Lovi play mobile phone while smiling, he must be suspicious. What I saw was a funny video.

"A lot of clients came. Mommy is happy because many believe in Mommy to design their clothes."

"Don't forget to share the results, Mom."

"What are you doing? you sew? well, pity Aunty Valery if you take the job,"

"I also designed, just like Mommy,"

"Huh! yes yes yes, Mommy will share the results," Lovi replied with a small laugh. He wanted to kiss the child on the cheek, but Adrian hurriedly refused. "Mommy hasn't taken a shower, usually won't touch me when it's out and not cleaned yet,"

Lovi patted her forehead slowly, "Mommy forgot. Understandably, Mommy already misses her son a lot,"

Lovi watched her daughter who was in the playground for a while before she entered her room.

Arriving at the room, he saw Devan who apparently had gone home and also Andrean. They were playing the playstation while lying on the bed. Devan did not pick her up today because Lovi was already awaited by his driver. Lovi tells Devan that Reno has been waiting for her all day so Lovi feels bad if she has to go home with her husband even though Reno does not feel offended at all because it has become her duty. Lovi is a woman who cares too much.

"Hi, Mommy's coming,"

"Hi, Lov."

"Yes, hi too, Mom."

Only so their reply. As usual, if you have played the game for sure they will not lyrics right and left, just focus forward.

Lovi immediately went into the bathroom. Leaving her eldest son and her husband who had just shouted out of defeat. Devan is never cool when playing. It's different with Andrean.

"Dad, there was at school that brought me home together,"

on the sidelines of the game that has just begun again, Andrean remembers the incident at his school earlier.

"Who?"

"Somehow, he said that Daddy told him to pick me up and Adrian. But I immediately refused because I doubted, what else when he was a little rude by pulling my hand, I was more convinced that he was lying. Luckily, Ms. Acha came to me and Adrian and said that Daddy was stuck in traffic so it was a little late to pick up,"

Hearing his eldest son's words, Devan immediately pressed the pause button on the playstation stick he was holding and looked straight into Andrean's eyes to determine whether the child was serious or not.

"I'm serious, Dad. I'm not the ignorant Adrian" said Andrean who knew very well the meaning of his Daddy's gaze.

Devan's breathing was heavy as his chest cavity began to fill with emotion. Who dares to harass his children until he confesses that he is his man so that Andrean and Adrian want to go home with him.

"He's a boy?"

"Yes, but his appearance is not suspicious. I just remembered telling Daddy this,"

Devan quickly ruffled his firstborn's hair slowly and then kissed his head also to eliminate the fret in his heart. "You're smart, Andrean. Keep good at taking care of yourself and your sister when at school. Even if there's a bodyguard, it's still a danger that can lurk at any time,"

*******

"I'm guessing you failed to bring the two damn kids,"

"Sorry, Sir. This time I haven't made it,"

"Stupid! just assigned to kidnap them you're not reliable."

A man wearing a ripped jeans jacket with a sharp weapon on his waist was staring at the dense Manhattan this afternoon through a window.

"I have to hurt his family first. After that, it's fucking Devan. I can't wait to see him plead with me to keep his family safe and he gives his life to me" he said with a sharp look. The man's jaw hardened as he clenched his two firm hands.

In this city he had two memories. Which makes her happy until it hurts. Both are hard to forget. He had met his new best friend here, had been betrayed here, and abandoned by his sister here. All of this happened in his life a few years ago.

"Don't you think once I'm punished, you can still live a quiet life. You've been looking for things with me, fucking Devan! I've been waiting for moments like this for so long. And now is the perfect time for me to take action, avenge me that you think I've forgotten,"

******

"I want you to be better at looking after my wife and kids!"

Devan called all his bodyguards or men in the basement to give them a word. Honestly, Devan is starting to get scared now. Yesterday Deni had just brought bad news and today his son got a nuisance. This is a warning to Devan so that he is more focused on looking after his family and there should be no gaps.

"My family and I are in danger. You have to look after my family without compromising their comfort. Don't make them suspicious, I don't want the slightest burden of thought in my family's head,"

"Good, Sir. We got it,"

"Little they get hurt, I'll make you hurt too. Listen carefully!"

Devan exclaimed firmly while staring at them all one by one. All the men in large bodies and in black clothes looked down. During this time there were no significant disturbances from outside for the Vidyatmaka extended family. At least the actions of small rats who are jealous of the success of the family that is respected.

"I hope you all work well together. And remember, there can be no traitors here. Whoever dares to do something behind my back, then prepare to kill me and hell is the place to be,"

Anxiety has been too mastered so he warned from the beginning so that there is no drama of betrayal at the end that makes him sick. Do not let the person he trusted to keep his family instead turned to attack him from behind by hurting his precious property, namely family.

Devan came out of the room. And coincided with Lovi who was enjoying a snack in front of the television in the middle room. He squinted when he saw the husband had just closed the door of a small room that was hidden because it was behind the wall and under the stairs to the top floor. Behind the door was a small room where there was a staircase long enough as access to get to the basement.

"Devan.." call him who makes Devan surprised. As fast as lightning he turned his dark countenance into sumringah. He should look fine.

"I remember there was a room in there. Why did you come there?"

"Just look around the atmosphere inside,"

"That's the basement, huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Yes, why?" Lovi does not need to know either because he does not need to understand how complicated his life and Raihan to have his own place to negotiate.

"No, just ask,"

"You going in there?" challenge Devan who was immediately responded to by Lovi, "Can you?"

"Come, if you can see how many human bones are in there, then,"

Lovi's body brushed for a moment while shuddering in horror. He immediately shook his head quickly. "No-no, thanks for the offer. I don't want to squeamish in there,"

Lovi thinks it's all true. Given how cruel her husband used to be. It is undeniable that hundreds of humans have been victims, Lovi is sure of that.

********

"Are you buying a robot yesterday?"

"Yes, right. I remember the place,"

At night Jane can only keep her promise to the nephew because after bathing earlier he even got a stomachache.

Devan and Lovi have already banned Jane from going with Adrian but Jane does not want to let her niece down again.

"Let's go down" Jane said as she took off her seat belt. And when he came down, Adrian cried out to call him. "Aunty, I can't open this," Adrian said. Jane snorted and immediately got back in the car. He took off the safety rope that ensnared his nephew.

"Yeaay finally bought a new robot, too,"

"It should be played often. Otherwise, Aunty was disappointed later. The one from Uncle Jhico is no longer played,"

'"Who said? I still play every day. But I play it more often at night when Mommy and Auris sleep,"

"Oh yes, Mommy and Auris are still afraid, yes" Jane laughed given how fierce Lovi and Adrian debate when it comes to robots, as is the case when the child often plays with robots until he forgets time.

Jane clasped her niece's hand and then they entered the large enough toys store.

"When I get into the toys store, I want to buy all the toys that are sold,"

"Don't, Aunty's money runs out later,"

"Oh yeah, Aunty getting married can't be extravagant huh?"

"Why talk about marriage anyway? maybe you're the one getting married?"

"Huh, don't get to it,"

"You don't want to get married?"

"Aunty, I was a kid,"

Jane chuckles in anxiety, then he forces his nephew's head to look up so he can kiss her on the cheek.

"Aunty's kidding. You mustn't think of women before you make your parents happy,"

"Yes, Aunty."

So many toys that Adrian was not focused. Like he said, he wanted to buy everything.

"The big robot was there,"

Adrian nodded and followed Jane who was always holding her small hand. Because of the mansion, Jane has been warned many times by Devan. Actually no wonder because every time he went with the twins, Devan always reminded the same thing. But this time it felt different. Devan seemed to be very pleading with Jane so as not to let loose attention to the child, he asked Jane repeatedly like very scared of his son for why. He even drove Adrian to get into Jane's car.

"Toys store must also bring a bodyguard? no wonder, actually. But three bodyguards I think are too many. It's similar to a state official,"

Devan doesn't care about his cousin protesting like that. Most importantly they are safe without reducing comfort because they will be monitored from a distance that is not too close.

"Which one do you want?"

"Green color,"

"Good, it's the hulk."

Jane's laughter breaks when Adrian holds one of the figures from the marvel comics whose body is green named hulk.

"The tax is to spend money only. No comments,"

"MMMFFTT," Jane held back her gel laugh. Can not be imagined what will be the reaction of Lovi and Auristella later let alone Adrian's plan new toy will be placed outside the room.

"Aunty, don't laugh! I'll cry later, Aunty responsibility yes,"

Jane flicked her hands in front of her face to remove the twitching on her lips as a result of holding back laughter.

"Alright, Aunty pay first," said Jane who immediately made Adrian happy not to play.

Jane looked at her nephew for a moment. "Are you sure you want to buy that one?"

"Knew!"

"Okay, we pay now,"

Adrian took off their hand links while pointing at the small robots elsewhere. "I want to look around at that. Aunty to the cashier himself,"

"Can't you, remember your Daddy?"

"Attime,"

"Go home, baby. Don't get away from Aunty, "Jane repeated Devan's words to her second child earlier.

"Huh! Aunty's stingy!"

"Oh stingy? well, then, Aunty didn't buy it for you."

Jane will step on her foot and Adrian will hold on quickly. He nodded with a pleading face.

"No, Aunty's good, Aunty's not stingy. I fixed my sentence, didn't I? so pay it, huh, Aunty?"

"Hmmm..." Jane pretended to think while tapping her chin with her index finger. He glanced at Adrian who was waiting for his answer with an adorable expression.

"Aunty-"

"Yes, Aunty pay,"

"Thank you's. I love you, Aunty."

"Huh, tumben said 'I love you' It must be because his wish was fulfilled so so sweet like this,"

Adrian chuckled not to deny that he did say that because he was very happy to get a gift from Jane.

Jane took him to the cashier and he made the payment. Just like the first toy, the hulk will be ushered in with a special introduction provided by the toys store.

"If Aunty doesn't buy it, it doesn't mean I love you?"

"Stay I love you,"

"Thank you,"

The woman who had just returned Jane's debit card nodded with a warm smile.

After finishing with all the affairs related to the robot hulk owned by Adrian, Jane and Adrian out of his paradise toys the children.

"You donut? we buy now,"

"You, won't refuse,"

"But the promise is to eat everything, don't make that donut bald,"

Jane knows very well Adrian's habit when eating donuts. The boy just devoured the toppings, not the doughnuts. So that the appearance of donuts like gnawed at wild animals.

"Yes, Aunty. "

"Be aware that lying is yes. Andrean alone if eating donuts is not like that,"

"He is, too,"

"No, Aunty knows."

"Little time,"

"The one we're talking about is not childhood. You're already a big boy, so you should be able to appreciate the food more. If it's shaved, it'll have to be thrown away,"

"We go to the donut shop first," Jane told one of her bodyguards who had been waiting for her and Adrian outside and let one of her friends follow Jane and her niece.

One car containing three bodyguards followed the Vanilla car that drove at normal speed as if Vanilla really enjoyed the atmosphere of this night which was not as crowded during the day where everyone flocked to finish all business.

"You see there's something weird about that car?"

The blond brunette man who was driving the car directly stared at the rearview mirror.

"It looks like he's been following us since. Or just my feelings?"

"Do something!" said another friend when he saw the car that followed them since earlier began to increase the speed and want to equalize the position with Jane's car that was far ahead there.

Devan's bodyguards moved quickly. They know this has been included in the unwanted interference Devan and must be destroyed immediately.

they managed to touch the side of the stalker's car. The sound of friction both the car's body makes Jane reduce her speed. Jane and Adrian both see the surrounding conditions through the rearview mirror and also the glass that is above their heads at this time. Looks like their bodyguard car is competing with one other car to approach his car.

Jane realized something was wrong. But he tried to stay relaxed because he brought Adrian. If he was alone maybe driving at high speed to challenge, he has done it since.

A very loud brake decitan managed to make Adrian's heart beat in fear. He glanced at Jane who looked relaxed but was very focused on driving a car.

"Hurry up and get Aunty's car! They must be bad guys. The evidence is being pursued by our bodyguards,"

"Don't, it'll jeopardize our safety. Just let them clean up the bullies,"

*********

"It's really fun to play around with Devan. So this time we fail again?"

The driver whose car had been damaged by Devan's bodyguards could only nod in fear.

"It's okay, we just need to be patient. From now on, I will hold the principle of 'slow but surely die'. We were invited to play around by Devan first,"

"Make them tired of our attacks. Never stop to keep interrupting,"

"Good, Sir."

The man with his sinister aura laughed thunderously. He likes the challenge Devan gives him. The more Devan closes himself, the more persistent he will find the right way until he can find a gap to destroy his target.

"Fatigured people will need time to rest. That's when we came to ruin everything,"

"Master's right, it's all about time. There are times when they must die according to your will, sir,"

"Not 'them', but only Devan has to die. After that, I lived happily with Lovi,"
