Martha went to Arta Fashion Building alone, she wanted to convey something that Devan had not known.
"I want to meet Devan Artama, '' he said to Hilman.
"Do you have an appointment?" ask Hilman ketus.
"Not yet, but this is very important," replied Martha emphasizing her words.
"I'll see him, please wait!"
Martha waited in the guest chair, still one floor with Devan's workspace.
Hilman entered the President's office. "Sir, Lady Martha wants to see you!"
"What do you want?"
"There is something important that he wants to say" replied Hilman.
"I'll see him in ten minutes" Devan said.
"Okay sir, I'll pass it on!" pamit Hilman's.
As promised, Devan met Martha in the special living room of the President.
"Well what else is Aunt here?" Devan doesn't seem to like it.
"Tante wants to say something maybe you just found out, too" replied Martha.
"Just say it," Devan said without making small talk.
"Do you know who kidnapped you a few years ago?"
Devan turned quickly towards Martha. He was surprised if besides his family there were other people who knew the events of his past.
"You'd be surprised if you knew who did it?" Martha smiled wickedly.
"Where did Auntie come from?" Devan narrowed his eyes.
"Of course Auntie knows because we live in the same town."
"Who did it?"
"The father of your future wife" she replied with satisfaction.
Devan pulled the corner of his lips, "No way!"
"The man was your father's friend, so Auntie knew him."
"Of course not, Devan."
"I know if you're Vandi Artama's ex-girlfriend."
Degs...
Martha brushed off her surprise and smiled. "Yes, we do have a relationship but Auntie is aware that your father has been betrothed."
"Good," said Devan.
"But, about that guy, Aunt told me the truth that the man who kidnapped you was Clarissa's real father. So, think back," Martha seemed satisfied with her confession.
"I thank Auntie for telling me. If there's nothing else to talk about, please come out!" sindir Devan's.
"Hopefully you can see who your future wife's family is" Martha smiled and walked out of the room.
After Martha left, Devan leaned her body on the sofa. His body felt limp when he knew who did it. "Aunte Martha must be lying" he murmured.
Devan recalls the words of Aunt Siska if her mother Nikita knew who her papa friend was.
"I have to ask Clarissa this" she said softly but she shook her head again. "No, definitely Clarissa will be angry," he murmured. "I have to find out for myself what Clarissa's real father's face looks like" she said.
Devan was always thinking about Martha's statement. Until the message and phone call from Clarissa he ignored. "What did I tell Oma?" ask in the heart.
......................
The next morning, Devan was as active as ever. He abandoned his intention to tell Martha what she was saying.
Today also after the photo shoot, Devan and Clarissa plan to go to the wedding invitation printing shop.
"Van, I saw from daydreaming. Is there something you're thinking?" Clarissa asked as they were in the car and were about to head to their destination.
"Nothing" Devan replied.
"Are you really not thinking? People say anyway' if you want to get married a little stress," said Clarissa.
"I'm really fine."
"Thank God then."
The car is darting quite moderately, during the trip Devan looks silent. At lunch together at a favorite restaurant, the man looked cool and cold.
"Van, I'm going to the toilet first 'yes!" pamit Clarissa's.
Devan looks at Clarissa's bag on the table, "Do I have to check her bag for clues?"
