My Cruel Husband's

Hurt for money

"You go to sleep, let Mommy take care of Daddy,"

"No, I have to be next to Daddy" Adrian said. He kissed Devan's face at a glance making Devan smile.

Adrian and Andrean focus on relieving fatigue in Devan's head and legs. While Lovi is still compressing her husband's burly stomach.

"I don't see Auris. Where's she?"

Devan misses his daughter so much. He was welcoming but now he knows where.

"Maybe playing with Grandpa. Better outside, Dad. Later if it's here, Auris bothers Daddy,"

I went into the room to see Devan's condition. And Rena has prepared a nightgown for her son.

"The same wood as my two children, Ma"

Rena chuckles. Devan is sick but still thinking of compactness. He immediately looked for the same Devan shirt as Andrean and Adrian.

"I'll change the water first,"

Devan nodded as Lovi permission to remove the compress from his stomach.

"Dad, Andrean's compressing ya,"

"Don't, Honey. It's hot water, danger."

"But Andrean wants to compress Daddy. Let Mommy get changed and rest,"

Lovi heard his eldest son speak. Devan alone was made happy with the boy's good intentions, let alone himself. Andrean doesn't want Lovi exhausted taking care of his Daddy.

Lovi sat down near Devan again with the new compress water, then he put it back in Devan's stomach.

Rena puts Devan's nightgown on the bedroom couch and goes out to clean up and see her granddaughter.

"Andrean and Adrian are sleeping, baby. It's night,"

"Later, Grandma." Adrian said of Senata who had been silent about the warmth of his grandson and son-in-law.

Auristella is comfortable in her grandfather's arms while watching the cartoon series. It looks different today. Usually, if you see Lovi arrive at the mansion, he immediately does not want to be separated from Lovi.

Right now he seems to understand that Lovi should focus on taking care of his sick Daddy.

As he watched, he bit his pliable toy to relieve itching in certain areas in his mouth.

"Auris is sleepy?"

Raihan looked at his youngest granddaughter who was lying on top of his chest. Auristella just stared at the grandfather without answering.

"Your mom hasn't searched. It means he's still busy. Just be patient,"

In the room, Devan no longer wants to be compressed. He said it wasn't cramping.

"Change clothes first,"

Lovi helped her husband walk into a walk in closet to change his work clothes with pajamas clothes taken by Rena earlier.

"I want to sleep here. Can't Grandma?" When his parents left, Adrian spoke to Senata.

"Indeed why? Yesterday I used to sleep in my own room,"

"You look after Daddy. So if Daddy wakes up in the middle of the night to need help, I can help,"

"Can you wake up?" Ask Senata with a careless smile. Adrian nodded quickly. "I would wake up if I woke up. Unlike Andrean who sleeps like an unconscious person," he said blatantly. That's how Andrean sleeps. Not the same as her and Auristella

"Lov, thank you, yeah,"

Every time he got sick, Devan always said that phrase to his wife. Lovi who used to be hurt is now always trying to help heal him.

"Don't talk like that,"

"But I am grateful. If you remember the past, it's very inappropriate for me to have a wife as good as you,"

Lovi shook her head firmly. He put his index finger on Devan's lips. "What are you talking about? We're a match, which means you deserve me,"

Lovi rubbed Devan's cold sweaty forehead. She quickly closed her clothes. It seems Devan is already uncomfortable standing up.

Just stood up. When Lovi put her pants on, she asked Lovi to sit down.

Lovi and Devan came out of the room containing a lot of expensive clothes, they saw their two children were struggling with their respective activities. Adrian arranges Devan's pillow, while Andrean puts drinking water for Devan on the nightstand.

"Thank you Daddy's kids. It's very different if Daddy is sick, yes" said Devan while chuckling softly. He lay helped by Lovi.

"You better get some sleep,"

"Later, Mommy! Well, from earlier the storm told me to sleep continuously," her wrath made Lovi anxious.

"Say they'll sleep here again, Lovi." Senata conveyed the wishes of his two grandchildren to the princess.

"May, we sleep together later,"

"Andrean massage again until Daddy sleeps. Her back doesn't want a massage, Dad?"

"No, Honey. Daddy's hard to come out."

"Oh yeah, his stomach just hurt, yeah,"

"Not hurt anymore?" Tanya Lovi made sure. Devan immediately shook his head. Lovi stared at the clock attached to the wall. It's eight o'clock at night.

"I clean first. Then put Auris to sleep. I'm staying a while is okay?"

"Yes, pity Auris too she must have been sleepy,"

Lovi rubbed her husband's bushy hair just before entering the bathroom. And Senata came out of that room.

In addition to massaging, Adrian also sings so Devan sleeps quickly. Andrean looked at her strangely. Is Devan a little boy who was sung to fall asleep?

Ferro and Dashinta just arrived. They were immediately greeted by Rena who just finished cleaning herself and also Senata.

Raihan also got up from the sofa with his grandson. Auristella looks fresh again after having a guest because he was invited to joke by Dashinta.

"Can I see Mr's condition?"

"Please, Devan is being cared for by two handsome little nurses" replied Senata who invited Ferro's small laugh.

Ferro and Dashinta went to the room of the young master who owned the mansion. Auristella reached out to Dashinta before the girl went to her Daddy's room.

"I just finished from the outside. Upik abu was afraid ah carrying the king's daughter,"

Rena shook her head softly hearing the clumsiness of her son's secretary. Finally Rena who carried Auristella and they also saw Devan's condition.

Auristella was already very close to Dashinta when it was brought to the office by Devan. Maybe it was Dashinta who helped him to meet Devan when he cried that time. Dashinta is very nurturing.

"Sir, how's your condition?"

Devan turned to the door as well as his two children. Raut Adrian immediately beamed to see Dashinta, Devan's secretary who often gave him ice cream and chocolate when he came to Devan's office.

"DASHINTAA,"

"Hallo, handsome little lord."

"Not chocolate?"

"Huh?"

"'And Daddy's sick,"

"Daddy is sick but doesn't ask for anything else chocolate" said Devan, who made the boy misbehave. He wanted to but instead brought the name Devan.

"I'm better than I was this afternoon, Ferro."

"Thank God,"

Ferro hinted Dashinta to put the two parcels she was carrying on the table by the bedroom window.

"Boss, for God's sake, I'm not the one who's bad to Boss,"

Dashinta tried to dare to say that. Devan's eyebrows instantly lifted.

"I'm not accusing you,"

"Yes, but I really don't feel good about Boss. Because the one who gave me the coffee was me, but I didn't make it,"

"Yes, I know. Usually it is like that. Office boy who makes,"

"I know what did, sir. There is evidence as well. It's just that I haven't done anything. Because the Master has the right to do so,"

"Yes, just keep the evidence. When my condition is much better, I'll do what I should,"

*******

"You don't have to be afraid. I'll hire you when Devan fires you,"

"I can hold your words, sir?"

"Yes, you can trust me. After all, only the stomach is made to hurt. Not the life I've killed, yet,"

"Good, Sir."

Such was the initial agreement between Arnold and an office boy who worked in Devan's office.

He took the wrong step. Over the years of working with Devan, he betrayed Devan. Anyone knows that Devan does not tolerate treason. Once betrayed, it will be like that forever. Devan will no longer be able to trust the people who stabbed him in the back.

Office boy choose an instant way to get a lot of money even if it has to hurt people who think so much about all their employees.

"The money I will give you is not small. Much more than your monthly salary,"

A tempting offer. For the sake of money, trust is betrayed. The good Devan should still be able to feel, at this time even threatened to disappear.

******

"So, I wasn't fired, was I, Boss? I'm innocent,"

"I'll see the evidence first,"

Dashinta let out a disappointed breath. Honestly after learning that the coffee he gave Devan made his boss enter the hospital, Dashinta immediately panicked. He immediately thought of the possibility he was also blamed by Devan.

His fate is currently being hung. Actually Devan is pranking his secretary who when talking about the bars. He believes in Dashinta, but seeing her anxiously makes Devan want to laugh.

"But Boss believes in me, right?"

"Not completely,"

"Gosh, Boss. What do I have to do for Boss to believe? The further away I lie,"

Lovi came out of the bathroom with a much fresher appearance in the same nightgown as Auristella's current outfit.

He was surprised to see Ferro and Dashinta in their room. Dashinta greeted him immediately. "Hi, Miss."

"Hi, Dashinta. Since when did you come?"

"Not long, yet,"

"Every dinner first. Ferro too,"

"We've eaten, miss."

"In the office,"

"Oh so. You guys work till tomorrow morning?"

"I don't,"

"Dining at the office for overtime workers until tomorrow morning, Dashinta. You're greedy" Devan said in his weak voice.

Dashinta glanced at Devan with raised eyebrows. "Since when have there been such regulations? in the office, be free. How many times to eat too. Ten times not banned,"

"The boss is kind and a lot of money. So the eating matter is not a problem" he continued, boasting the owner of the company who was clearly in front of him was lying down but he was too proud to admit that Devan was good.

"Who is the owner? Daddy I'm, aren't I, Dashinta?"

Dashinta slicked her shoulders at Adrian's question. "No idea, little sir. I suddenly forgot,"

Devan snarled in the heart. If he's not sick, Dashinta will have a fight with him. Very brave of his secretary.

Lovi and Rena who saw Dashinta's unrelenting attitude also chuckled. He is humorous and very smart to melt the atmosphere but why has no one wanted to marry him yet? Dashinta also looks to love children. Lovi. The first time he brought Auristella to Devan's office, Dashinta was very helpful to him. He does not hesitate to hold Auristella who cries to meet Devan in the meeting room while Lovi does not dare to take him there because he is afraid Devan is angry and considers it can not calm Auristella. Lovi knows very well her husband does not like to be disturbed when working.

But that was just his fear. In fact Devan was immediately happy to see his son present in the meeting room and happened to have finished the meeting so Devan did not feel disturbed at all.

"I'm back in the office. May you recover quickly,"

"I also need to get home soon, Boss."

"Yes, you guys be careful. Worked well even if there was no me. Especially you, Dashinta. Your fate is on the edge of the horn. Don't fuck around, 'cause---"

"Doing anything never. Boss don't scare me,"

"You're not wrong why be afraid? not wrong, is it?"

"Fear it when it comes to firing. I'm not wrong but Boss hasn't believed in me yet because he hasn't seen the evidence. So now I'm worried once again,"

"Decision fired or not will be later," said Lovi.

"Yes, Miss. If possible, tomorrow there will be a decision. May the Boss yes, Miss."

Dashinta immediately walked out of the large room as Devan glanced at him sharply. He used Lovi to persuade her.

After the room was abandoned by Ferro and Dashinta, Rena immediately gave Auristella who had been sleepy to Lovi. But he's not fussy at all. Comfortable in his grandmother's arms.

"Good night everyone. Mama came out, yes" Rena said before closing the door. It's just a little Devan family.

"You haven't been tired of massaging Daddy since?"

"No, Daddy's never tired of making money for me to go to school and buy toys,"

Devan smiled with a full heart. Behind his infuriating, hyperactive, and selfish attitude, Adrian is Devan's son who understands how much his Daddy's sacrifice is. He made Devan upset not because it was not dear. But his mindset was indeed not as mature as Andrean. He often quarreled with his youngest brother, causing Devan to grow angry.

Whatever it is he will make a fuss. My sister prefers calm. Little things won't be Andrean's problem, unlike his second brother. Seeing Auristella play the remote of her cars would be furious.

"You really don't know yourself, do you?! how much to poison Mr. Devan. Huh turns out you're the same as Mr. Devan's other ex-secretary,"

Desas desus about the cause of Devan fell ill yesterday has been crowded into the conversation of people in the office this morning.

Dashinta who just came was immediately invaded by employees who idolized Devan. They are very sorry why there are people who are so willing to make Devan weak like yesterday. Their boss, who usually looks excellent every day in the office, yesterday had to be carried by the ambulance because it was no longer strong to support his own body even if only to walk.

Devan was very weak yesterday because his stomach felt completely drained. Throw water incessantly even though it has been given medicine by Ferro, as well as the vomiting he experienced.

Dashinta simply responded to them all casually. It was not He who committed the crime, and He already knew the culprit.

"Where did you hear the news? who eats the crap? is the instigator here? or is this still part of the traitor's plan?"

"Who do you mean?" ask one of the women who just came to Dashinta's room next to Devan's.

"Later you know, too" he replied casually. After putting down his expensive bag, he began to get busy with the computer in front of him.

"Why do you work here? keep it in front of Mr. Devan's room there!"

The words of his friend made Dashinta crackle. He immediately disarm.

"Boss today is not working. Who's the guest who wants to meet an empty chair?"

Usually Dashinta who served in front of Devan's room to ask for the needs of every guest who wants to meet with Devan. Today Devan isn't there, so why was he in front of the sick room?

"Boss not working? good to be you. Today's a lot of free time,"

Dashinta massaged his head and shook his hands to expel all those who had caused him a headache early in the morning like this.

"Who am I saying I have a lot of free time? my job is getting more and more. Because sir gave it all to me and Ferro,"

"Huh why would you give up your work for you? it'll be messy later. You can trust the person who hurt him,"

The three sharp-mouthed women immediately walked out of Devan's secretary room.

Dashinta growled in annoyance. His two hands squeezed each other as tightly as possible to vent emotions.

"It must be him who has spread the lie. He deliberately made me the guilty party in the eyes of the officers here,"

******

"My mother's illness is getting worse, sir. I need that money now. I finished my job yesterday anyway,"

This morning Arnold arrives an office boy who has teamed up with him to poison Devan.

Arnold nodded and immediately wrote the nominal on one check sheet. Then he gave it to her.

Office boy smiled as he accepted it. He could not wait to offer this to his sick mother. The way is very wrong, but he wants his mother to recover quickly. This is an instant way to earn a lot of money despite having to hurt Devan.

"Thank you, Mister. If you need my help again, let me know right away" said Bandy, the office boy.

"You're gonna help me again? I'm sure you'll be fired by Devan. So what can you do to get back to harming Devan?"

"Ah maybe the case that was not discovered yesterday as well as when I leaked the car tires,"

Arnold chuckled while shaking his head. Not likely. He believes Devan will find out about the culprit and fire him mercilessly. Especially if he knows that the one who made his car tires leak the other day is the same person.

"He's a fool, the proof is he doesn't know that the guy who broke his car tire is me,"

Devan intentionally did not want to find out. He thought it was just a small matter. His car broke but God was still kind to him. He did not experience anything dangerous on the road even though the driver only realized that the tire had broken after they were already in the middle of the journey to the mansion.

While yesterday's incident was a big problem and did not play games because he made Devan lying sick. Even to the point of having to leave his job. Not only that, Bandy has managed to make Devan's children and wife feel anxious, Devan does not like it.

*********

When Devan wakes up, next to him is Andrean and Adrian who are ready with school uniforms.

They smiled welcoming Devan's open eyes. Devan's condition is much better. He felt there was a change. Devan is much fresher than yesterday.

"Sorry, Daddy can't take you to school just yet,"

"It's okay, Dad. We can go with the driver,"

"Be careful. So good boy,"

"Yes, I hope Daddy gets well today,"

"Pray continuously,"

"Already, even before going to bed last night I prayed for Daddy. The proof is Daddy's better this morning. Aye, right? it's thanks to my prayer, Dad."

"My prayer, too," said Andrean, who was embraced by Devan.

"Thank you for praying Daddy. You're good boys,"

When Adrian and his brother want to hug their Daddy, Devan quickly refuses. "Daddy hasn't had a shower yet,"

"Wild, Daddy stays fragrant. Daddy never stinks. I wonder, hopefully when I grow up, I'll be like Daddy too. Always look good being a girl---"

"Hmm still small already have a plan to spread the charm on women. Just be careful if you dare to mess around," said Lovi while glaring sharply when he returned from the walk in closet.

Lovi has just prepared a change of clothes for Devan to finish bathing later. He just entered the room after cooking and taking care of his two children who want to go to school.

After preparing clothes, Lovi went to the bathroom to make sure the bath filled with warm water.

"Daddy, will Adrian be on his birthday soon, when Daddy's sick? Daddy hasn't prepared a present for Adrian yet,"

Andrean glanced at his cynical sister. His Daddy was sick, he even thought of gifts. Truly a gift-eye child, not a duitan eye.

Ahead of his birthday, Adrian was again incessantly making an announcement that soon He would be his birthday. Even his friends are like that. Until Andrean shook his head in shame to see his sister's behavior. Just telling once should be enough. But for Adrian it is less. He invited all his friends and teachers to his birthday party. But what makes Andrean grateful, his sister did not blatantly ask for a gift. He just wanted the party to be attended by everyone.

Each friend asked 'want what gift?' he always replied 'no need, I'll get a gift from Daddy and Mommy. You guys just come, just so I'm happy, ' the same sentence when you invited Lucas.

Devan just smiled. He prepared a gift for both of them. It's just that no one knows but Lovi. Every birthday, Devan tries his best to celebrate. Birthdays only happen once and a year. They should be made very happy on that day of age.

"May be healed. Birthday party's still a few days away,"

"But there's a party, isn't there, Dad?" ask Adrian make sure. He has invited through direct speech from the mouth, lest there be no party. God, where does he have to hide his face? that's a shame.

"Hmm it doesn't seem. But don't know either. Daddy is still confused about throwing a party or not," Devan deliberately looks worried when all the preparations are almost done. The venue, the consumption, the souvenirs for those who come, as well as the prizes for the winners of the game that will be held in the party later are ready. Their birthday theme this time is robots. Looking for robot-themed clothes for women is also difficult according to Lovi. In addition to herself and Auristella, Lovi also had to prepare it for the closest family such as Senata, Rena, Vanilla, and Jane.

"I've invited my friends to come, Dad."

"Who told you to?"

Adrian's lips immediately piqued. He immediately hugged Devan to persuade his Daddy.

"I'm ashamed there's no party,"

Andrean held back a laugh. Can not be imagined what the boisterous friends Adrian later when they know that there is no birthday celebration. They'll be bustling with Adrian.

"Holyness itself. Daddy hasn't made sure if there's a party or not, but you've invited them,

"Daddy, I beg-"

"Devan, let's take a shower," Lovi came out of the bathroom. And persuaded Adrian immediately stopped.

"Why beg you so?"

"There's a birthday party for me, right, Mom?"

Lovi glanced at Devan who blinked one eye. He just understood, it turns out Adrian and Andrean are being bullied by Devan.

Lovi sniffed his shoulders and replied, "Mommy doesn't know." Lovi followed her husband's pranks.

"He's invited all his friends,"

Lovi immediately shook his head slowly while staring at the downed Adrian. "If it is not celebrated how? there's-there's this kid,"

"It should be celebrated!"

"Coercion," Devan sneered. Adrian nodded unconcernedly. He closes his ears when Devan will speak again. As fast as lightning he came out of his parents' room running.

Devan and Lovi laughed at him. While Andrean was only silent with his flat face.

"Come, take a shower" said Lovi who instantly turned Andrean's gaze.

"Mommy wants to take a shower with Daddy?"

"Huh?"
