My Cruel Husband's

Jane's boyfriend besides Richard

After school, Adrian watched television until the afternoon arrived. While her brother studied and then slept in the room of her grandparents.

Adrian stayed focused on watching as his grandfather came home. He did not even realize that Raihan was sitting on the sofa next to him.

"Adrians...."

Adrian flinched then looked at Raihan as he rubbed his chest in surprise. "Grandpa just surprised me,"

"When to watch?"

"Just now,"

"Correct?"

"Yes,"

"Try Grandpa see cctv huh?"

"uh? no, why see cctv? Grandpa doesn't believe me?"

"No," said Raihan.

Seeing his grandson again focus on watching his favorite cartoon series, Thomas train, Raihan invited him to talk again.

"Adrians..."

"Yes, Grandpa. What's up?"

"Then did something happen in Daddy's office?"

"Yes, Grandpa knows?"

"Know, and Grandpa just wanted to be sure,"

"There's a bad guy who hurt Daddy. Grandpa see the wound on Daddy's hand no? it's because of the bad guys,"

"See, but Grandpa won't ask,"

"Why? grandpa should be paying attention to the child,"

Raihan pinched his granddaughter's squeezed cheek which could already advise her. "Grandpa already knows, so lazy to ask your Daddy. He's gonna lie, for sure,"

"Yes, Daddy likes to lie. Adrian was told to shut up yesterday. But Adrian did not. Because Mommy was pressing too. Yes, Adrian tell me everything."

"Who did it?" raihan asked if Adrian knew Arnold.

"Know, hmm. but forget,"

"That means you don't know,"

"Adrian knows! but forget," he denied.

Adrian watched while remembering his name. Because yesterday he heard Devan tell Lovi.

"Heyy I remember!"

Raihan smiled faintly at the granddaughter who was so eager to tell him.

"The name is similar to the word 'astronaut' as I recall,"

Raihan's laughter exploded. 'Arnold' doesn't remember. Adrian only remembers the mention of it which is almost similar.

"What's wrong Daddy, Grandpa? I was really sad when Daddy got hurt like that,"

"What is sad for? Your daddy is a strong man,"

"Yes, Daddy didn't complain of any pain when I knew it hurt him enough,"

"That's nothing to him,"

"Daddy has been like that since childhood? Daddy's a hobby fight no, Grandpa?"

"Hmmm no. He's a good boy. You should too,"

"I'm good, Grandpa. But it's good it's less,"

"Hahaha this kid could have answered him,"

*****

"With me, Lovi."

"I'm all, my job is done."

"What the hell? Lovi wants to shop for the needs of me getting married later,"

"I can accompany him. You should just stay quiet here. Another day married. Later if out there meet another handsome man, your eyes will be wild and forget that soon will be the wife of people,"

"You're crazy!"

"My Daddy's not crazy, Aunty!"

"Ck! Lovi, can you help me talk to these two shitty people?"

"Daddy, Adrian, let Jane accompany Mommy shopping. We just pick the fruit, then go home. The fruit will be delivered,"

"I'll drive you, man,"

"Yes already. When else will the higher-ups in the Vidyatmaka corp be my driver,"

Devan did not answer his cousin's words. The debate is over, he will lead Lovi and Jane to choose the fruit in their subscription. Since the fruit will be purchased in very large quantities, then Lovi must really sort it out. The fruit will be one of the dishes in the mansion to entertain relatives who come tomorrow.

The atmosphere before the wedding is increasingly filled with family warmth. And anyone likes that.

"Mommy I'm coming,"

"No, just look after your sister at the mansion,"

"I want to come! why can't I?"

"What are you going with? you helped Mommy and Aunty no?"

"Help, I'll help. Just tell me what I need to help. I'll help you, just relax. My intentions were good, wanting to accompany Mommy, Aunty and Daddy as well,"

"What help for example?"

"Spend Mommy and Daddy's money. I buy this, buy that later,"

Lovi nodded no wonder. That is how his son is. If you want to go somewhere with him and Devan, surely because he wants to buy what he wants. While diving, drink water. From the mansion said he wanted to accompany and help, but after arriving at the destination, there must be a desire.

Adrian hurried to his room to prepare, following in his footsteps. They just need to change their pants. Exit from each room. Devan looked at his son in confusion.

"Where are you going?"

"You go" said the boy, walking ahead of his father down the stairs.

"Where to?"

"Follow Mommy and Daddy,"

"uh? who allowed you? no, you're in the mansion with your brother and sister. Better to play with them,"

"No, I'm tired of playing. That game again, that again,"

"What does boredom mean? you're asking to buy a new one?"

"Oh my Daddy's very sensitive as it turns out,"

"Unfortunately Daddy won't fulfill,"

"Huh! I know because Daddy was mop--"

"Don't tell me Daddy's stingy. What has Daddy given you so far is still lacking?"

"Hehhee no, Daddy's not stingy. Okay, so nice. Always follow my wishes,"

Devan goes to the Playground downstairs to tell Andrean and Auristella that he will be gone for a while.

"Bye, Daddy go first. Just a minute, you guys be careful."

Andrean who was playing a puzzle immediately turned to the door where Daddy and his sister were standing.

"Congratulations, Dad. Careful,"

"Auris, bye."

Auristella waved at Devan who said goodbye to her. The boy did not whine about wanting to come along because he was busy decorating his Barbie doll.

"Look at them, didn't ask much when Daddy was leaving. Try if you, there must be a lot of questions asked. 'Where are you going, Dad? not long? what do you want to buy?' the ends will come,"

"Hahaha whose son is yes," the sentence came out of Adrian's own mouth. He seemed to laugh at others when what Devan had just talked about was himself.

"Devan, Adrina can come?" ask Lovi to make sure. Everything must be with her husband's consent.

"Adrina's? that Mommy's son is Adrian, not Adrina."

"Oh sorry, Mommy mispronounced. Dad, Adrian can come?"

"He was ready. Yeah, come along."

"Adrina is also your Mommy's son, Adrian."

"What the hell, Aunty? mommy's son is only three. When did it become four?"

"When you grow up, he'll be your Mommy and Daddy's son too,"

"How do you mean?"

Devan glared sharply as he began to understand the direction of Jane's conversation. He pushed slowly on the head of his cousin who had thought too far.

"Children's daughter-in-law,"

"Jane, what are you talking about?" seeing Lovi's slurred look, Jane laughed. "I know you're refusing to think about Adrian's future. You assume that Adrian will be the baby boy for you. Though not so. Because he's getting married,"

"Until now Andrean and Adrian will be baby boys for me" Lovi confirmed.

"So you can't get married?"

Devan prepares to pummel Jane who is sitting in the middle seat with Adrian, with a tissue box but does not so because Lovi forbids it and Adrian also notices them.

"Who wouldn't allow it? of course I can, when it's time."

Jane rubbed her chest in relief. "Thank God, my niece is not forbidden to marry."

"Basic crazy!" muttered Devan. Jane's just talking about it. He wants to get married, and he talks about Adrian. It can be ascertained, if Adrian has grown up later and is ready to climb the marriage ladder, surely Jane is very excited.

"What's talking about? married-married everything. Who wants to get married besides Aunty Jane?"

"Nothing, dear."

*****

"My Lov, that's dad, right?"

"Who's father?" ask Jane.

"Lovi, man,"

"Where?"

Devan's hand pointed at a fairly old man who was still nimble to work cleaning the floor. They are currently near the toilet, waiting for Adrian who is urinating inside.

Lucas's work is now increasing. In addition to being a coffee delivery driver to several cafes and being a cleaning service in an office, now he is also a cleaning service in a shopping center.

"Devan, wait..."

Lovi and Jane try to equalize Devan's rapid pace approaching Lucas.

"Dad...."

Lucas. Devan smiled faintly as his guess was right. Although Lucas' position was sideways and using a mask, but he could recognize his father-in-law.

"When did you work here?"

"It's been almost two weeks,"

"Geez, there's a lot I do. So there are three jobs?"

"Yes, Devan. But all the work is not done every day. So you can rest too,"

"Your health condition needs to be considered, Dad."

"It's okay, Dad's okay."

Lucas sees Lovi and Jane getting closer to him. "Dad work here too?" ask Jane to Lucas.

"Yes, but not too long."

"Why work so hard, Dad? you have a daughter-in-law who is very rich, why not just use it?" jane asked in no way. Lucas laughed at hearing that. Anyone who knew her and knew who her daughter-in-law was, would definitely say something similar to Jane.

"What are you doing here? didn't bring your three little angels, Devan?"

"Daddy!" Adrian ran to his parents after urinating in the toilet accompanied by Devan's men.

"Grandpa, Hi."

"Why leave me alone?!" adrian asked his parents.

"No leaving. Just walked a little away from the toilet. Still under Daddy's watch,"

"Stay, I was left with the men,"

"Yes, sorry."

"Grandpa's cleaning the floor? it's exhausting, Grandpa."

"No, Honey."

"Dad will come to my wedding? I'll have the manor drop off an invitation for you,"

"You're getting married soon?'

"Yes, Dad. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow,"

"Yes, Dad's coming."

"Thank you, Dad."

"Then we go, Dad. Don't be too tired to work, Dad." said Lovi a little warmer than before who impressed very cold with his father.

"Think about dad's health" Lovi continued.

"Yes, Lovi. Thank you for caring about me,"

"Dad, if there's something, don't hesitate to tell me. I didn't know that Dad was adding jobs,"

"Dad's happy to do it."

"When do you work? just stop, Dad. I'd do anything for you" said Devan, who had run out of sense to persuade his father-in-law to stop working.

"As long as Dad is still strong, there's no harm in trying alone to make ends meet,"

"Grandpa, I want to go shopping first. Bye, Grandpah. Come on, Aunty." take Adrian and immediately pull Aunty's hand to immediately leave from Lucas' presence. Before leaving, he asked his Grandfather to bow and pin a kiss on his cheek.

"We go first, Dad." said Devan. Lucas nodded and let his daughter and son-in-law retreat.

He smiled at the backs of the two of them. He was always happy to see the togetherness of his son and daughter-in-law. May their happiness be eternal. Lovi was already quite tortured his life during adolescence. He hopes that now, tomorrow, and forever they can still be together, sharing happiness and laughter.

Devan follows where the wife steps. They immediately came to the fruit sales center inside the mall.

Lovi and Devan hold hands, Adrian and Jane do not want to lose. Even if it's a child, Jane doesn't matter. From his finger empty. This is what it's like to walk with Lovi and Devan. There is also a benefit Adrian came with them. He becomes friends when Lovi and Devan assume that the world belongs to only the two of them.

Not only Jane, when Vanilla was single too. Besides the nephew, Adrian could also be considered as their little lover.

"Wow there's a lot of them,"

"Adrian wants strawberries, Mom. It will be eaten with chocolate. Uh must be delicious,"

"Yes, Mommy knows what your favorite is right now,"

Strawberry fruit until it runs out in a very short period of time because Adrian is valuing the fruit that is enjoyed with chocolate jam so that the sour taste of strawberries covered by the sweetness of chocolate jam.

"What's this, Mom?"

"Blueberries, which you usually eat,"

"But why the skin---"

"It's usually like that too, Adrian. But all this time you've been eating it after it's been peeled, as you wish."

"Are ya?"

"You're weird, when the blueberries are peeled?" said Jane who did not think out with her nephew.

"It turns out this is her real skin, Mom?"

"Yes, blueberry skin is actually good to eat. But you always refuse with the skin. From childhood you've been used to it,"

Devan follows them behind while occasionally checking his phone. Going shopping is not the right and fun option. But he didn't want his wife to just go with Jane. If He comes along, He is calmer because he can take care of his wife directly. The presence of Arnold lately, many present a sense of worry in the mind Devan to his small family.

"What else, Jane?"

"Hmmm I don't know. You better understand what is needed. By the way, thank you for getting complicated ahead of my wedding. Everything you take care of, especially the consumption section for the mansion when the family gathers later,"

"Yes, equally. We are family. We should've helped each other,"

"Dad..."

"Hmm? why, honey?"

"I want that,"

Adrian began to express his desire for an item that had previously stolen his attention.

The fruit parcels are arranged to form a sports car. Very unique and caught the attention of Adrian since the beginning of his arrival. Because by chance the parcel was displayed on the front, so that when entering, Adrian's eyes were immediately fixed on him.

"Who's the parcel for?"

"Make me myself. Can't it?"

"Not eaten, must be made into a display by you. Aye, right?"

"I eat, but it has to be on display for a few days to let people see, too,"

"The rot of the fruit, Adrian."

"No, Daddy!"

"Yes already, whatever. Ask your Mommy,"

"Use Daddy's money. If Mommy's not necessarily okay,"

Eyebrow Devan linked. What's the difference between her and Lovi's money? the source is the same. It's just that, holding not just one hand.

Adrian does ask something more often to his Daddy. With Devan, he doesn't persuade too much. With Lovi, it's harder. Lovi will think about whether something asked by his son is of any use. Lovi including women who are frugal, her husband just memorized how Lovi's nature. Before buying something, must be well thought out. Adrian more often ask for something that is not useful, just want to waste money in vain.

But if the toy business is indeed nothing that can be used as a mainstay by Adrian. Because Mommy and Daddy both disagree if He too often buy new toys.

"Ah or I'll just ask with Aunty Jane. Aunty's getting married, it's gotta be a lot of money,"
