Lovi repeatedly stared at the clock attached to the wall. He sat down because he was getting bored waiting for Devan.
"Says briefly. Apparently not. I better just go home. Auris must be awake,"
Lovi prepares to return to the mansion. He tidied up his clothes before leaving Devan's room.
"Dashinta, I'm home."
"Don't wait for the Boss, Miss?"
"No, he's long. I'm tired of it inside,"
"Alright, be careful, Miss."
"Yes, thank you."
********
While Lovi was on his way home, Senata contacted Lovi. And it turns out that the one who spoke on the phone was not Senata but his second child who asked to buy shorts for swimming.
"Shorts are yours a lot, Adrian."
"I want a new one, Mom. Just buy me one. Can ya?"
"Yes, Mommy stopped by to buy it,"
"Buy the one but the expensive one yes,"
"You know all about your money, yes,"
"Heheheheh." he chuckled and made the faithful Senata sitting beside him shake his head.
"Your clothes are expensive. Don't have to talk to Mommy, you must be looking for the best" said Senata who sounded also in Lovi's ear.
"Mommy hang up. Be nice with Auris, don't fight!"
"Okay, ready."
"Don't get ready for you. Do what Mommy says,"
"Yes, Mom."
Lovi finished his call. Then he told his driver to stop by first at the shopping mall.
Lovi went straight to the boutique where he used to buy clothes for his children. Boutique branded that has become a subscription to the Devan family.
As usual, Lovi never bought an item for just one child. If one is bought, the other two children must also be bought. The number was the same even though only Adrian felt the need.
For her two sons, Lovi bought three shorts for each. While Auristella two stel house clothes and one dress for swimming. He only swims occasionally. Unlike the two brothers who began to swim regularly every afternoon because now their teacher gave the task to exercise every day and swimming has made both comfortable. Morning runs are only occasional, usually on Sundays because their Daddy is off. All that can be done every day is swimming because they have their own swimming pool in the mansion.
"What else would Angel buy?"
"Already, Uncle. This is enough for me,"
The voice made Lovi look up. Lovi, who was going to the place of payment, immediately stopped his steps when he saw Devan was holding a small child and they were also shopping for clothes.
Lovi's eyebrows are linked. "So this is his business? it's worth it long," muttered Lovi quietly. He exhaled slowly and then continued his steps. He chose not to say hello to Devan. He also does not need any explanation for now even though he is curious about the child in Devan's sling. They look very familiar. Lovi tries to think positive although it is undeniable that various bad accusations for Devan have filled Lovi's head. But he thought, it feels less fitting if He asks Devan now. Let the man be honest without asking first. Devan will be honest with him, he's sure.
After finishing paying, Lovi came home with a troubled mind. He tried to calm down but it was still hard to do.
"Can we go home now, Miss?"
"Yes,"
******
Devan's car has arrived at Angel's grandmother's house. The boy will live with his mother Lianne, Angel's grandmother after Lianne's death.
After the funeral procession, Devan immediately brought Angel to play in the Playground located in a shopping center, invite him to eat at a restaurant, then shop for clothes. Angel made happy today.
"Thank you, Uncle for everything."
"Yes, equally. Angel is a good boy. Don't be naughty, love your grandmother."
"Yes, Grandma will be my friend from now on. Because Mama was no more," the last sentence Angel said slid from her lips in a very slow tone. Devan who saw Angel's sadness again, immediately hugged Angel then rubbed his head with affection.
"The uncle must go home now."
Angel nodded and let Devan into his car. He waved as Devan's car left his grandmother's yard.
Grandma Angel was waiting in front of the house still with her face to cry, just like Angel.
"Mom, I'm coming."
"Yes, Honey. Come, eat. Grandma made Angel's favorite fried egg,"
The old woman hugged her granddaughter while holding back the cry between haru and could not bear. He was moved because Angel was very good to him and He did not have the heart because the child who should still get complete affection from parents, now must feel lost it all.
*****
Upon entering his room, Devan felt quiet, as usual. And he immediately stepped into the room where Lovi was. Turns out the room was empty, he did not find Lovi's whereabouts. He opened the toilet door, nothing.
Finally he came out of his room to meet with Dashinta who was struggling with his work.
"Dashinta, where's my wife?"
"Jeez, Boss just makes me shocked," Dashinta who is not aware there is Devan was of course surprised when she heard the heavy voice of the man who became her superior.
"Where's Lovi?"
"Home home,"
"It's been a while?"
"Yes, he said waiting for the old Boss, Miss is bored. So Miss's home,"
The brief explanation of his secretary made Devan nod in understanding. He went back inside to finish his job.
*****
"Auris got a shirt, didn't I, Mom?"
"It's not nice to be envious like that, Adrian. All the same amount. Three each. You asked to buy shorts, yes Mommy bought shorts. If Auris hasn't been swimming as much as you. He needs more casual clothes that can be used when playing at home. Your casual clothes and Andrean's already much more. Some are not even used,"
When they have birthdays, there are many invited guests who make clothes as a gift for them. There are those whose size is still too large so that in storage, there are also those that have not been used.
Lovi warned Adrian firmly. Lovi tried to be fair. He bought it as needed. And Adrian talks like that as if Lovi is discriminating between him and Auristella.
"Yes, just a little girl is jealous of so much sister. How big later? can't be, honey." Senata gave understanding to Adrian that what he said earlier was an act that was less commendable.
Auristella unpacked her new clothes with a feeling of pleasure. Every bought anything, he must be enthusiastic about accepting it.
"After all, even if it's just pants, the price must be expensive, Adrian. Look at the price tag, you can read it, right?"
"Sstt," Lovi gestured for Andrean not to corner the silent sister.
"Where's the price tag? must have thrown Mommy away" said Adrian.
"Children do not need to know the price of goods given by their parents. Simply thank me with pleasure, use as best as possible, and do not forget to say 'thank you'," concluded Lovi did not want to extend the discussion. Adrian immediately hugged his Mommy.
"Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome,"
*******
Lovi accompanied her son to swim while holding Auristella and conversing with her two mothers.
Lovi has prepared snacks for those who are swimming and also those who just sit back by the pool in the afternoon today.
While the new Devan came looking for his youngest son who used to play in the playground, Auristella was not there. Lovi he didn't find it either.
Devan changed his work clothes and then moved downstairs again. He thought maybe those Devan was looking for were in the pool. Apparently true. He smiled at his children who could always restore his spirit after being tired all day work.
"DADDY, SWIM COME ON!" Adrian exclaims to call Devan from the pool. Devan approached then nodded. After he took off his newly replaced clothes, he approached Lovi to briefly kiss the woman's forehead. He did the same with Auristella.
"Busy today?"
"Hmm tolerable. Why did you go home first? I'm back in the office, you're gone,"
"Yes, you're old. He said just for a second,"
"Sorry, the business can't be finished in a short time it turns out,"
Lovi's lips lifted up a little. Devan was not honest with him. "Correct? you don't want to be honest with me?" lovi's speech made Devan's forehead squint, as well as Rena and Senata.
It seems Devan has taken a wrong step. He should be honest. Devan thought, it looks like Lovi already knew something about his long-term departure.
"Later, I'll explain. Now I'm accompanying them to swim first,"
