My Cruel Husband's

A gift from Daddy

Shortly after Andrean left his parents' room, Adrian woke up. Lucky Lovi and Devan are both wearing clothes, not bathrobe anymore.

"Mom..."

Lovi quickly came out of the walk in closet, he was forced to throw Devan's hand that hugged him looking for another chance.

"Oh Mommy's son is awake? fast sleep,"

"I'm hungry,"

"Come, we'll eat."

"Where's daddy?"

"On the walk in closet, clean up."

Lovi's original answer made Adrian squeak confused. It was impossible for Devan to clean up in the room. Like there's no Daddy's job.

"Really?"

"Already, don't think about Daddy. Now you have to eat, he said hungry, right?"

Adrian got out of bed after kissing Auristella's cheeks. His mischievous nature is always there anytime and anywhere. Even just waking up he was still ignorant to his sister.

"Hallo Grandpa's handsome grandson,"

"Hallo, what's this talking about?"

Adrian sat between his grandmother and Jane who was talking seriously earlier.

"Adrian, Aunty is graduating soon."

"Wow really?"

"Really, Jane?" Lovi asked curiously. Jane nodded quickly with a happy smile. He could not wait to arrive that day.

"But it's so close to my wedding day,"

"Oh yeah, how many days are you getting engaged?"

"Nine more days. Two weeks from the show, I got married."

"When is graduation?"

"Two days before marriage,"

"Wow, that's cool, Jane."

"Cool from where?! I'm getting stressed, Lovi."

Lovi sat down and subconsciously wanted to dissolve in Jane's conversation with both Mama. He forgot to prepare food for Adrian. And Adrian also focused on hearing his Aunty story.

"Yes, take a mental exam before marriage,"

"Am I retreating ya pern--"

"About speaking. Everything ready, time to be pushed back?" Rena immediately responded with her disapproval.

"I don't think I can face that historic day in the near future,"

"Why can't it? graduation should not stress you out. Marriage is like that too. Live it out, both are important days for you. And you have to do your best,"

"Mom, Adrian wants to eat."

"Oh yeah, Mommy forgot." Lovi patted his forehead softly. He immediately went to get Adrian's food. Rarely did Adrian want his food prepared by a maid. As long as there is Lovi, then Mommy must be the one who prepares.

"Vanilla know when you're getting married?"

"Here, my graduation day he knows."

"You're telling us now?"

"The graduation schedule was also just out two days ago,"

Hearing the explanation of her husband's niece whom she already considered to be the child, Rena nodded.

"Adrian, Grandpa is still a gift for you," Rena gave information to Adrian who was cupping his chin on the back of his hand.

Adrian's eyes were still sleepy, now immediately opened wide with an enthusiastic light that was so visible.

"What's the prize, Grandma?"

"Not knowing,"

"Where's the prize?"

"Ask the Grandpa,"

"Where's Grandpa?"

"His work space,"

Lovi just came from the kitchen carrying a plate of Adrian food and he saw his son wanted to get out of the chair.

"Hey, where are you going? eat first," said Lovi firmly. Adrian was forced to sit down again, not so step into his grandfather's study. Though he was very curious about the second gift given his Grandpa. He did not expect to get a double gift for his birthday this time.

"Grandpa has another gift for me, Mom?"

"Yes, you'd love it,"

"Mommy seen the card?"

"Hmm not yet, but Mommy sure you'll like it. Because Grandpa knows what you like,"

"I'm getting curious. Can you eat later, Mom? I'm not calm if I haven't seen the gift,"

"Eat first. Mommy has prepared, Grandpa is still working. Don't disturb. Wait for Grandpa to finish work, then you can ask,"

Adrian took a breath and nodded. "Okay, Mom."

"Is everything ready, Jane?"

"For the wedding?"

"Yes,"

"Oh, it's almost done."

"Quickly yes when the implementation is still about three weeks away,"

"I think it's too slow. My friends, if you're getting married, it's a month before the wedding,"

"You have been giving answers for too long. So it's all hampered, too,"

"Yes, that's right too. But convincing yourself is necessary,"

"of course. Although you are sure from the beginning, you still have to think again before making a decision. Because marriage is only for once in life,"

Jane hugged Senata and Rena with feelings of haru. "Pray me to be a great woman like you,"

Lovi and Adrian noticed the three. Adrian holds a smile and glances at his unblinking Mommy as Rena kisses Jane's forehead affectionately.

"Must be better than us,"

"Mom, Adrian is full,"

Lovi's eyebrows shot up. He did not believe his son. "Definitely because you want to come to the Grandpa's study? I've agreed with Mommy's words that don't allow you to approach Grandpa in his study until Grandpa himself comes out,"

"But I'm curious about his gift,"

"Nanti--"

"Oh already woke up Grandpa's second granddaughter,"

Adrian turned his head and immediately exclaimed happily when he wanted to meet even present without He who had to approach.

"Grandpa has another present for me?"

"To be exact for you two,"

"So the prize is for both?"

Raihan nodded and invited Andrean and his sister to go to the playground or where they played.

"After seeing the gift, come back here and finish the meal" Lovi said before Adrian followed his grandfather.

"Yes, Mom." she replied obediently.

As soon as he reached the playground, he saw a large object covered by something so that it could not be seen the contents.

Raihan immediately opened the cover and Adrian immediately jumped happy once he saw the toys he often played on the playground now he has.

"You should play together,"

"Thank you, Grandpa."

His sister immediately approached the gift while Andrean hugged his grandfather while saying 'thank you'.

"Adrian tell Grandpa something first!" Andrean's word with a flat tone but able to make Adrian subdued. Adrian hugged Raihan as well. He even kissed his grandfather's forehead.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I'm so glad to get this,"

"Give me a kiss!" His words were directly obeyed by the two twins. His right and left cheeks were kissed by Adrian and his brother.

Lovi approached her two happy children.

"Died Daddy and Mommy who have not given a gift" Adrian told Lovi.

"Daddy wants to give it now. Ask Daddy,"

"If from Mommy?"

"Tomorrow yes,"

"Really, Mom?"

Lovi nodded quickly. The car that will be given to them both can only be delivered by the dealer now.

Adrian quickly ran to his parents' room. "Street slowly, Adrian."

Adrian did not listen to the reprimand from his grandfather. He was both happy and curious now. The gift from Devan and Lovi is what is awaited by him.

"DADDY, WHERE'S DADDY?"

"DADDY DADDY DADDY,"

Adrian from the stairs was screaming. Think of the mansion like a wilderness.

Devan opened the room door and turned to the stairs. His son had just arrived at the top of the stairs. Adrian took a breath first. It was exhausting to scream as well as climb the stairs.

"Why yell? Auris's still asleep, Adrian."

"Where's the gift for me?"

"Oh, ask me a gift. Come on, let's get down."

"Auris left alone?"

"Daddy move it into his crib first,"

Adrian nodded and waited faithfully at the door. Devan moved his daughter carefully so she wouldn't wake up. Auristella will sulk if she wakes up not yet.

Now Devan is used to checking all the security in his room especially if there is a child in the room.

"Just bring Auris down, Dad. There will be bad people,"

Adrian's words are very compatible with his inner words since then. He is not calm if he has to leave Auristella alone here, since the bloody events in the mansion some time ago. But actually, nothing happened.

He is too afraid. If he works, and Lovi has to finish something while Auristella is asleep, then Lovi will leave Auristella for a moment to finish her job. Lovi is not like Devan who has been completely overcome by fear so much that he let Auristella sleep alone in her crib.

"Okay, let's just get Auris down,"

Adrian will be cheered and instantly stared intently by his Daddy. "Your mouth cannot be silent,"

Adrian chuckles without a sound. He was banned from speaking because Auristella was asleep in Devan's hand.

"Where's Mommy?"

"In the playground,"

"Well? play there?"

Adrian does not answer and pulls Devan's hand to follow him.

"Slow down, Daddy's carrying this Auris,"

When he arrived at the playground, Adrian pointed to Lovi and Andrean who were using the gift of Raihan. They were playing hockey together.

"Mom, this is Auris."

Adrian told his Daddy to give up Auristella because the gift business is not finished. So Auristella has to be with Lovi and Devan gives her a gift.

Lovi immediately grabbed her son. "Why did you bring it down? She's sleeping,"

"I was worried about leaving him alone in the room,"

"It's okay, I do it often. The most important-"

"No more, Lovi. The twins' room was broken into by criminals. Doesn't rule out our room either,"

"Okay, next time I won't do that,"

Lovi immediately took his grandson out of the playground. He will put Auristella to sleep in the room Senata on the bottom floor.

"Let's show me where the prize is, Dad." Adrian exclaimed as he jumped his body. He whines at Devan to quickly resolve his curiosity.

Devan turns to Andrean who is now playing hockey with Raihan. "Andrean, come with Daddy for a second, honey."

"Grandpa won!" Raihan exclaimed in pleasure of defeating Andrean.

"Grandpa cheated. I'm being talked to by Daddy so the focus is divided,"

Raihan's laughter exploded upon seeing his eldest granddaughter sneer softly. Andrean was called back by Devan. Finally he followed Devan and Adrian who came out of the playground.

"What did they react to after getting a gift from Devan? I'm curious" Raihan murmured and then he came out.

They arrived at the basement of the mansion. Andrean and his sister frowned in confusion when they brought him here.

"Dad, where's the gift? why are we going to the basement? are we going to get in the car?"

Devan opens the cover of each car belonging to the two of them which becomes a gift from Devan.

"This is the prize,"

"Car?"

"Yes, what do you see now?"

"Gosh, we've got a car, too,"

"Add a collection,"

His reply lightly invited decak Andrean. "We have our own cars. But if you go anywhere still use one car. Now Daddy's buying it again for me and Adrian?"

"You don't like the prize?" Devan's face turned sad. He thought by giving this facility, they were happy.

"Like, I really like the car. Thank you, Dad."

"Andrean doesn't like it?"

"Likes, Daddy. But just love the money,"

andrey doesn't know how much it costs. But he is sure that the money spent by his Daddy to buy both cars is not small.

"It's okay. Besides Andrean's new car one, Adrian so too. Now each one has two,"

Andrean and Adrian hugged Devan tightly. Devan deliberately gave them that, because the car they have now been running for two years was used. Usually every go anywhere, they almost never use their own car. Always go with one car whether it's Adrian or Andrean's car, who obviously wear it alternately.

"Tomorrow we ride,"

"Yeaaay is finally riding again,'

"Wear a new car,"

"We split the car?"

"Mommy with Adrian. Daddy with Andrean. How's it?"

"It's less exciting to split up like that, Dad." said Adrian who likes togetherness. As long as there is an opportunity to be together, why should we split up?

"Let both of your new cars be tried for starters,"

"Oh okay."

"At any time soon you will go to school to a higher level. Not necessarily the same schedule. So you guys should get used to parting. If at school now your schedule is always the same because of one class. Later in the new school is not necessarily like that anymore,"

Devan was happy to see his son compact. Although they have their own car, they always leave and go to school together using one car. But the bigger it gets, the two must have their own interests. Soon they will study in elementary school, not necessarily have the same schedule.

"Said Mommy, a gift from Mommy is given tomorrow. Why not just now, Dad? tomorrow we're riding,"

"The stadium will be ready tomorrow maybe. Daddy's car is ready now, too,"

"Oh so. Tomorrow Auris is riding too?"

"Can he ride? he lives in the mansion. The four of us went riding,"

Devan held back a laugh after hearing the words of his second son. He glanced at Andrean who was staring at his sister with his eyes glaring. "Auris got a horse? walking is not so good. Strangely you are. Just play a toy horse just him,"

"Yes, Auris already has her own horse instead,"

"We are not, Dad." said Adrian, pointing to himself and his brother.

"Daddy has no intention of buying us horses?"

"Toy horse huh?"

"The real horse. Not a toy horse like Auris,"

"Later, if there's money, then,"

"Daddy has a lot of money,"

"We just got a car from Daddy, Adrian. Have you asked for anything else? you think you're making easy money, huh?"

Devan was anxious to see his eldest son reprimanding his sister. His mind is very mature. He knew finding money was not easy, so he did not like to hear Adrian asking parents a lot. After all, they can ride on horses owned by Lovi and Devan. Usually it is like that too.

***

"Rena, accompany me to check out the boutiques and restaurants, will you?"

"You know, but I have to go to Lovi's boutique first because there's a client who wants to meet Lovi while Lovi is riding today, so I'll take his place,"

"Oh, okay. We'll go together, then,"

"Grandma time,"

"Yeah right,"

Rena and Senata saw both of her grandchildren playing with Auristella in the living room.

Adrian and Andrean had woken up early in the morning because as planned they would ride today.

"Auris is confused to see we're already handsome this early in the morning,"

Since Lovi was taking a bath, Andrean and Adrian were the ones who accompanied their sister to play. Devan is preparing for the walk in closet.

"Hmm but we are always handsome at all times" Adrian said, confirming his own words. Serry, who was guarding them at this moment was made to chuckle when he heard the boy's words.

"Auris don't be naughty. What will you bring?"

"Silver,"

"Wouldn't you?"

"Ndak au,"

"Errrghhh I'm anxious to see you,"

"AARRRGHH!"

Auristella screams because her cheeks are pinched by Adrian who is too anxious with his sister.

"Adrian don't start fighting this early in the morning!"

"Who wants to fight? I'm just---I

"Auris doesn't bother you, why are you pinching her cheek?!" Andrean Sentak.

"The cheeks are adorable,"

Auristella pelts her second sister with a toy and Adrian's laughter instantly explodes. He ran away from Auristella who was crawling to attack him.

Adrian accidentally hit the playground door when going out of there. Seeing that, Auristella and Serry laughed. Auristella laughed the loudest. While Andrean was still with his cold carrier.

Even in his heart he said, "The effect received after disturbing the sister is so,"

"How does it feel? hmm?"

"MOMMY, ANDREAN IS EVIL!"

Serry, Auristella, and Andrean looked at each other as Adrian shouted furiously and ran out of the playground.

"When he is evil often makes Auris cry,"

"Why the hell?!"

Devan exclaimed angrily at his son who had already made a ruckus in the morning. "Why crying?"

Devan pulls Adrian's hand that covers his own face. Devan humbled himself in front of Adrian.

"Jawab, Daddy! why yell and cry?!" Devan's slightly raised voice made Adrian sobbing. Andrean who heard the anger of his father came out of the playground.

"Adrian--"

"Dad, Adrian was harassing Auris. As Auris wanted to retaliate, she ran over and accidentally hit the door."

Devan immediately let out a long sigh as he shook his head slowly. "You started and you cried too? great for you, yeah,"

Devan tried to look Adrian in the eye but the boy still covered his entire face with his hands.

"Devan, what's wrong?"

Raihan immediately took Adrian in a sling. Adrian shook his head as Raihan requested that his face be shown.

"Keep crying so you don't have to go riding" said the father of three children.

"Andrean! we'll be leaving soon,"

Devan gave a firm word to his eldest son who was immediately obeyed. Devan stared at Adrian sharply even though his son was hiding behind his grandfather's shoulder.

"It was a big one, just yesterday's birthday. But the bad-bad nature hasn't gone away. You if you're ignorant are often too outrageous,"

Raihan did not understand the cause of his son's current anger. He could not bear to see his grandson being scolded to the point of crying like this.

Adrian actually did not cry because he was scolded. But his head hurts from the door. After his Daddy got angry, his crying got harder to control.

"Try it, Grandpa, look at his face. You want to ride no? his riding time face closed?"

While Devan is still quietly looking at his son, Raihan tries to persuade Adrian.

Raihan forced Adrian's hand to no longer cover his face. He had to wipe away the traces of the child's tears. After his face was seen, Adrian's cries broke.

Raihan and Devan were flabbergasted to see Adrian's forehead blushing. Adrian's hand was raised and he wanted to wipe it, saying, "Sick, Grandpa." The boy's voice was still choked with tears.

Devan's little heart grimaced to see his son cry out in such pain. Finally he grabbed Adrian from Raihan's arms. Adrian wants to be back with his grandfather.

"No going with Daddy,"

He still remembers how angry Devan was. He did not dare to be in Devan's arms.

Adrian's hands extended to the back where Raihan was still standing in his place, while he and Devan were already walking away.

Devan takes her to the room to coincide with Lovi who is about to exit the room with an appearance that is ready to go.

Devan entered the room and Lovi who was in front of the door was confused as she was passed by. "Adrian why are you crying?"

"Please treat his head, Lov. It was at the door,"

"Oh my God,"

Lovi immediately approached the child to see clearly the wound drawn on his child's head.

"Not hurt, just blushing and I think it's gonna be bruising soon. Right away, I'll wait in the car,"

After putting Adrian on the bed, he stood up. "Don't cry anymore. That was your fault, wasn't it? if you want to ride, there can be no crying, Daddy's been saying that since then,"

Devan came out after saying a series of sentences. Lovi is still trying to digest. He doesn't know anything. Suddenly Devan came to the room with Adrian who was crying from sleepiness.

"When did it happen, dear? and why did it stumble at the door?"

Adrian chose the silence. He answered with a head. Lovi understands, maybe his son has not been willing to discuss it.

Lovi immediately took warm water and a small towel to compress Adrian's forehead for approximately ten minutes. After that, he also applied a little aromatherapy oil.

"It's done. Come on, let's get down. Daddy's been waiting,"

Lovi clasped his son's hand after he removed the remains of Adrian's tears. They should get downstairs right away.

"Where's Aldrian and Mommy?"

"Mommy's treating Adrian,"

"Adrian is what, Dad?"

"His silence was reddened by the stumbling of the door,"

"Until it's like that?"

Devan nodded. He was ready with his wheel in Andrean's car. Devan's eyes see Lovi also entering Adrian's car.

"Mommy's got a car, Dad? Daddy can?"

"Only for this time Mommy who brought Adrian's car. As planned yesterday, today we will try your car and Adrian,"

"Oh it turned out to be. I thought---"

"Of course so. Mommy rarely drives,"

"That's the problem. If Mommy forgot how to drive?"

"No way, honey. Within a month, Mommy must have been driving around the mansion in her own car,"

"But it's going to be quite a long journey, Dad."

Andrean was worried that Lovi would bring Adrian's car, not their driver. Actually Lovi can drive but it almost never goes far to bring his own car. Only around the mansion.

"Mommy is sure" Devan said.

They exited the mansion and started to accelerate at a normal speed. Andrean looks worried about Lovi. While Lovi himself seems relaxed and enjoys his role as a driver at this time.

"Adrian, don't shut up. Usually talk a lot," Lovi turned to his son who was sitting next to him for a while. He rubbed Adrian's chin while looking at the window.

His mood has not improved. And Lovi who knew that could only sigh softly.
