The Secretary For Life
Ruckus
Inside, all the big families had gathered, they were talking to each other.
" Devan, is this your wife?" Ask a woman who is none other than the wife of Opa's first child.
" Yes, Aunt. Meet Azzura, Devan's wife," Devan replied.
" Arimbi, the Tantean Devan. More precisely the wife of Antoni, the eldest child and heir to the Hadiwinata family," said Aunt Arimbi arrogant while observing the appearance of Azzura from top to bottom.
" Oh yeah sorry, we couldn't attend your wedding that time. Understandably we are busy people," said Aunt Arimbi.
" It doesn't matter, Tan." Reply Devan.
" But Aunt is happy, you can finally move on from Naila. At least that way you will not disturb the marriage again," said Aunt Arimbi.
" Naila?" Azzura said softly as she looked at Devan.
" You don't know yet, who's Naila?" Ask Aunt Arimbi.
" Naila that..," said Aunt Arimbi but immediately cut by Devan.
" The past I want to forget, because knowing him is a mistake for me. And I told Azzura, didn't I, dear?" Devan said coldly, the expression returned to cold mode, different when chatting with Opanya earlier
" Yes right Auntie, Devan told Zura everything" Azzura replied.
" Yes already then, we went there first, Tan. Excuse me," said Devan leaving Aunt Arimbi.
In the heart of Azzura asked who Naila was, why Devan's expression looked angry when discussing Naila. But he chose silence, not daring to ask Devan.
Devan invites Azzura to join his parents as well as his older sister Carissa.
" Hi Dev, Zura," Carissa said as she looked at the two.
" Sister, how are you? Where are Ammara and Edward's brother, they're not coming?" Ask Devan. Edward is the husband of Carissa.
" Amara and Celine, Edward went to the toilet again" Carissa explained.
" What's it like being Devan's wife, Ra?" Ask Carissa.
" Did he torture you at home?" Ask Carissa again.
" No, sister" replied Azzura.
" Kak Risa what the hell, indeed I like to torture people," Devan replied.
" Yes, because in the office you like to torture your employees. To the extent that you have to let Azzura, your favorite employee to work with you," said Carissa.
" Yes because they can't work" Devan replied.
They were in conversation, sharing stories about their lives. Until the arrival of Aunt Arimbi makes them forced to stop her chat.
" Dev, this is Aunt Tania want to meet your wife, he said," said Aunt Arimbi who came with Aunt Tania, Opa's youngest child.
" Oh please, Tan. Zura, come here" Devan told Azzura.
" This is Azzura, Tan. Devan's wife" said Devan, introducing Azzura.
" You're serious, marrying a woman like this?" Aunt Tania.
" Women like this? Mean Aunt?"
" Do you not know who he is? He is just the son of a small shop owner, you know Dev, it is not appropriate that he became part of the Hadiwinata family," said Aunt Tania again, making Aunt Arimbi shocked.
" Are you serious, Nia?"
" Seriously dong Kak, I met this woman once, while visiting her small shop," said Aunt Tania.
" Why are your tastes so low, Dev? Aunty thinks you're married to a woman equal to our family." Aunt Arimbi.
" Have you spoken enough, Auntie?" Ask Devan.
" Who my wife is, what family she comes from, it's none of your business" Devan said with a chilling expression.
" This you, Auntie is like this because she cares about you, Dev. This woman must not be a good woman, she deliberately approached you, surely because she knew that you were rich. Aren't you afraid that he'll drain your property?"
" When does Auntie care about my life? Aunty said it was because Auntie's attempt to be my wife Vallery, did not work, did she? She's my wife anyway, so if she wants to spend my property, that's her right, and that's not Auntie's business, my own property, not Aunt's" Devan replied.
" But still this will make the Hadiwinata family ashamed of Dev, what people say if they know one of the Hadiwinata family members married a lowly woman," added Aunt Arimbi.
" I'm sorry if I think the low status of humans cannot be measured by their wealth. You are rich, but is it your own work? From the attitude you showed I believe you only rely on the property of your parents," said Azzura.
" Look, does he have any manners? Is that how you talk to an older person? I'm sure he must be uneducated, too" said Aunt Tania.
" Maybe the teachings of his parents are like that, ordinary people do not care about education. Most importantly for them, how do you get a rich man to live, didn't you just say he was just a little shop owner's kid?" Aunt Arimbi.
" Sister is right" said Aunt Tania.
" Before his apologies, I did come from a family that you guys considered lowly. But I'm proud. And you need to know, my parents never taught me the way you alleged. They always taught us to work hard, so that we could be independent, able to stand on our own feet. So that we don't always hide behind our parents' armpits. As most rich people do now, who can only rely on the wealth of their parents" Azzura said.
" You insinuating us?"
" Do you feel that way?" Azzura.
" You really need to be taught a lesson, in order to have good manners," said Aunt Tania while raising her hand to slap Azzura, but in a failed attempt by Devan.
" Keep Aunty's attitude, don't you dare touch my wife" Devan said, holding the hand of Aunt Tania, with an angry look.
" Your wife has no manners, she has no respect for us" Aunty Arimbi said.
Carissa who had been silent since then, finally intervened. He approached the two Tantenya.
" People-mannered? Your honor? If you want to be respected, respect others. I know who Zura is, he's not a person who likes to make a fuss. Unless someone's fishing for it first. The woman that you consider to be from this lowly family, is not an indiscriminate woman. You could say he's much better than you. And you need to know he's the best graduate of....." Carissa was cut by Azzura.
" So, you don't have to say that to them. Because the sky will never say that he is tall" Azzura cut.
" So arrogant as you are, already poor is still arrogant" said Aunt Tania.
Hearing the commotion, made Opa approach them.
" What's going on?" Said Papa Angga, along with the arrival of Opa. He had also been watching them from a distance. He was very disappointed with the attitude of his brother-in-law and sister, it was outrageous.
" Behold, the wife your son chose, this Devan. It's really inappropriate to be a member of the Hadiwinata family" Tania said.
" Yes, I think Devan will choose a wife who is commensurate with us, it turns out again he made the Hadiwinata family embarrassed," added Aunt Arimbi.
" That's enough, Tania, Arimbi!" Opa Yell.
" But that's the truth, Pa," Tania said.
" Azzura is the best daughter-in-law I have, I'm proud to have a daughter-in-law like her. And I also salute his parents for being able to educate his son like this. Things you can never do" Papa Angga spoke.
" So you don't think we can educate our children?"
" Yes that way, isn't it? And yes one more if you think we chose the wrong daughter-in-law, and embarrassed the family name Hadiwinata. At this time we will also release the name Hadiwinata from us," said Papa Angga.
" What do you mean, Angga?" Ask Opa.
" I'm sorry Angga, Pa. But it looks like it's time" said Papa Angga as he walked forward and asked for a mic on the MC who was there.
