Devan slowly let go of his embrace, holding ire''s cheeks, staring at the woman without blinking.


    "Do I look that weak in front of you, honey?"


    "No, it''s not like that. I mean…" she was cut off when a springy object touched her lips. Suddenly Devan kissed her, making the woman''s body stiffen.


    "I''ll take care of what''s mine," said Devan and then kissed ire''s lips very gently.


    At first, ire was silent and didn''t reply, but it onlysted a few seconds. Devan bit her lip and managed to cause a strange sensation in her.


    Finally, ire returned the kiss''s Devan. Feeling each other''s lips, the sound of the click of tongues and lips shing now and then filled the room.


    ire''s hands wrapped around Devan''s shoulders.


    The man narrowed his distance from ire even more.


    Kissing for a few minutes, Devan''s hand did not stay still. Slowly the man''s hand moved and stroked ire''s arm and stopped right at the two springy objects that the woman cheated.


    ire''s body stiffened when she felt Devan''s hand start to squeeze her chest.


    Sensing the change in ire''s expression, Devan stopped the movement of his hand.


    "May I?" he said between their kisses.


    ire''s cheeks flushed, the woman didn''t answer but tightened her arms around Devan''s neck.


    As if understanding the woman''s response, Devan smiled,ying ire on the sofa in a very slow motion.


    Their kiss became more intense, ire''s breathing bes fast, and so did Devan. They both felt hot.


    Without breaking their kiss, whether consciously or not, ire unbuttoned all of Devan''s shirt buttons so that the man''s upper body was fully exposed.


    Feeling ire''s hands exploring his body, Devan closed his eyes. Enjoy the touch of the woman.


    "Dad, what are you doing? Why do you want to eat my mom?" suddenly heard a child''s voice and managed to startle Devan and ire.


    Soon they rose from their positions, each still shifting their bodies away from each other, smoothing the clothes they were wearing while clearing their throats.


    "Mom, are you all right?" Dave asked again and then approached his mother.


    "Mom, your face is so red. Did Dad hurt you?" he added again.


    Caire cleared her throat, trying to normalize her expression and feelings.


    "No, honey. There''s no way I could hurt your mother. I just fell and identally hit your mother," said Devan and approached his son. Lifting him onto hisp.


    "Is that true?" Dave asked as he looked into his father''s eyes very innocently.


    "Mom, is what Daddy said true?" asked the boy again, turning to ire.


    "A-Ah Yes, that''s right, honey," ire stuttered a little. Her cheeks were still red.


    She was so ashamed of Dave and herself, how could she and Devan do such a thing in the same room with their son.


    "You didn''t lie to me, did you?" Dave said again, looking at ire and Devan in turn.


    "Of course, honey. There''s no way I could hurt your mother," Devan said, stroking the boy''s head.


    Hearing that, Dave smiled.


    "Then when did youe, Daddy?" he asked.


    "Why didn''t you wake me from my sleep?" he added again.


    "I don''t want to bother you, honey. How? Did you sleep well?" Devan replied.


    "Erm. I slept after Grandma left earlier," said Dave while nodding his head.


    "Did your grandmothere?" asked Devan as if he didn''t know about it.


    "That''s right, Devan. Mom and Grandma visited here a while ago. Them from shopping and took the time to visit us" answered ire.


    Hearing that, Devan felt happy. Finally, his mother can ept ire.


    Several hours passed, the atmosphere of the light in the afternoon slowly changed. The orange light on the western horizon was slowly reced by the night sky. Thousands of stars also began to emerge. The moon shone brightly, asionally seen hiding behind the clouds.


    The sky tonight is very clear.


    "Daddy, just spend the night here. Apany us, tomorrow we will go home," said Dave to his father.


    They had just finished dinner.


    Hearing his son''s words, Devan nced in the direction where ire was.


    "Go home. Get enough rest. Don''t make your mother worry about you" said ire.


    "Besides, we''re getting married soon," she added.


    Devan took a deep breath. "Hmm, fine. I''ll visit again tomorrow morning and take you to the airport," he said.


    "Okay thank you."


    Devan nodded, "Then I''ll say goodbye, honey," said Devan then kissed Dave''s forehead.


    And it managed to make the boy put on a sullen face.


    "Go to sleep, don''t stay upte, OK?"


    "Don''t forget to drink milk before bed," he added and stood up from the sofa. He then hugged ire''s body, "I''m going, honey. Tomorrow I wille again," said Devan while whispering in ire''s ear.


    "I love you," he said again and let go of his arms. Walk to the door.


    "If you need anything, call Hendra. I''ve already sent the contact to your cellphone, honey."


    ire just nodded hearing that.


    "Be careful on the road," she said, leading the man to the door.


    "Come in," said Devan when he was out of the room.


    ire nodded and closed the door slowly.


    Seeing that, Devan was still standing where he was, reaching into his trouser pocket, and seemed to be calling someone.


    Just a few minutester, a man approached him.


    "How? Have you prepared everything I asked for?" he asked.


    "Yes, sir," said the man as he handed him a brown envelope.


    Devan epted the envelope and opened it, checking its contents.


    "Okay, you can go," said Devan again to the man.


    "All right, sir. I''ll excuse myself."


    Devan nodded then walked towards Aaron''s room.


    It is now eight o''clock in the evening.


    "Good evening, Mr. Aaron," said Devan as the bedroom door opened.


    "Come in, I''ve been waiting for you for a long time," Aaron replied kindly, ushering the man into his hotel room.


    "Thank you," said Devan. They then headed to the sofa and sat there.


    "Is ire already asleep?" asked Aaron, he knew that Devan visited ire earlier.


    "Not yet, but I''ve asked her to sleep early," replied Devan.


    "Hendra called me earlier, he said that you wanted to meet with me," said Devan again.


    "That''s right. I have a few things I want to ask you," Aaron replied.


    Hearing that, Devan handed Aaron the envelope he had brought earlier. "This is for you, Mr. Aaron. Maybe it will answer all your questions about ire and the Javier Family. There was also some information from the time I met ire until now. I know, maybe some things you already know. I trusted you, so I thought it was wrong to hide some things about ire from you," Devan said.


    "So I decided to tell you all about it. After all, you are the only family that ire has right now," he added.


    Aaron fell silent hearing the words of the man in front of him, slowly reaching for the envelope, "Thank you."


    Devan just nodded.


    "Did they ever hurt ire? How can my nephew have a problem with them?" Aaron muttered, his brow furrowed faintly. He thought hard because he knew that all this time ire had lived in Indonesia with a poor economy, how could that woman have a problem with Javier''s family?


    "It would be more correct to say that they were the ones who were looking for trouble with ire, Mr. Aaron. ire is just an innocent girl who doesn''t know anything," said Devan.


    "It all starts when the contest. Since then, the Javier family has always interfered with ire''s life. You will find out more clearly when you open the envelope, sir."


    Hearing that, Aaron fell silent.


    "I hope they don''t have any ill will towards ire," Aaron said, his eyes never leaving the envelope in his hand.


    "Don''t worry. I can guarantee the safety of ire and my son. You don''t have to worry about them," said Devan.


    Aaron raised his gaze and looked at Devan "Is it because of this that you sent some people to guard around ire?"


    "Regardless of what it is, ire deserves my care. Their safety is the main thing for me," Devan replied then leaned back on the sofa.


    Aaron smiled at the man''s words, "Thank you for loving ire and Dave like this, Mr. Devan," Aaron said standing up from his position, bowing in front of Devan.


    Devan reflexively rose from his position and grabbed Aaron''s shoulders. "What are you doing? You don''t deserve to do this to me, sir. I''m just doing what I''m supposed to do, I love them more than anything, so, naturally, I don''t want anything bad to happen to them," Devan said.


    "As ire''s Uncle and parent, I am so grateful to have met you, sir," said Aaron.


    They sat back on the sofa. "You don''t have to think about the Javier family, let them be my business, sir," said Devan, he was trying to make Aaron not worry about anything, because he was very sure, after checking all the contents of the envelope, Aaron must not be able to calm down thinking about ire. Therefore, before the man checked the contents of the envelope, he tried to convince him.


    Aaron was silent for a moment as if he was contemting something. "Hmm, fine. I believe in you," he said.


    "Thank you," said Devan.
