NEW STORY
Instead of sending the message she had written, Elena suddenly pressed the delete button. Embarrassed? Of course, Elena suddenly turned into a shy girl, even though she was the one who initiated it before. She placed the phone on the dressing table and reached for the comb. Elena began to comb her long hair while humming cheerfully. After ensuring her appearance was beautiful, Elena hurriedly left the room to join her family. Truly, today was the most beautiful experience in her life.
Happy with you
Joyful when close to you
You’re the creature I pursue
The others I don’t want
Hold my hand tightly
And never let it go
Because I need guidance
Don’t miss my love
I’m happy when I’m with you
My heart is calm in your embrace
Stay with me until you age
Until your hair turns white
My heart is happy living with you
My soulmate, take care of me
With you, my heart is at peace
Sell yourself with me
Hold my hand tightly
And never let it go
Because I need guidance
Don’t miss my love
I’m happy when I’m with you
My heart is calm in your embrace
Stay with me until you age
Until your hair turns white
My heart is happy living with you
My soulmate, take care of me
With you, my heart is at peace
Sell yourself with me
I’m happy when I’m with you
My heart is calm in your embrace
Stay with me until you age
Until your hair turns white
My heart is happy living with you
My soulmate, take care of me
With you, my heart is at peace
Sell yourself with meRêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Still singing happily, Elena descended the stairs. Ivand, who had just come out of his room, felt surprised. Elena’s face looked radiant, unlike her usual self. Then Ivand ran to catch up with Elena. Lately, he rarely teased his sister.
“Cie cie now has a boyfriend!” Ivand teased with a grin. Since Elena was allowed to go out with Dirga, her brother has been a little different. The aura of happiness radiated clearly on his face. Moreover, at this time Elena clearly looks like a girl who is in love.
“Just be curious about being a little brother. You don’t have to take care of me,” replied Elena, annoyed because Ivand had disturbed her fun. It’s actually a normal thing, but for her problems with Devan, of course Elena needs to worry.
“Just be careful when you’re dating Sis. Tell Dirga if he dares to mess with you, I’ll teach him a lesson,” said Ivand again, clenching his fists. This time Ivand was not joking in his words. Any man who is close to her sister will also deal with her.
“Don’t interfere in other people’s business!” annoyed, Elena doesn’t like it.
“No debate! Whoever it is will deal with me,” said Ivand again, not caring about Elena’s sharp gaze at him.
Suddenly, Elena felt afraid that Ivand would find out that the man close to her was not only Dirga but Devan too. The only man she loved. Not wanting the conversation to get longer and wider, Elena immediately took quick steps towards the place where her parents usually were. Elena then sat on Jeremy’s left side. Hugging his Daddy’s body possessively. Vanessa who saw it just smiled. Yes, this is the closeness between Elena and her father. They are like letters and stamps that always stick whenever they are together.
“Mom, tonight Ivand wants to go with Viero and Nathan to buy a birthday present for Kia,” said Ivand, who had just joined. The 16 year old teenager chose to sit under the carpet while taking a jar filled with food.
“Nathan picked me up, right?” Jeremy responded with his left hand stroking Elena’s hair.
“Or ask Rikzy to take you there!” continued Jeremy again. “Where are you, Brother?” Jeremy just realized that his first son was not there now.
“Ivand will take you there, Dad,” said Ivand with a big smile. Hope Daddy will give permission.
“Rizky has been there since this afternoon, usually meeting Lala,” said Viero casually.
“No need. Daddy, just call Rizky then so he can pick you up,” Jeremy said firmly, not giving permission. It’s not because Ivand isn’t good at driving a car. But because Ivand is not old enough. Do not yet have a driving license, aka driving license. So Jeremy will never allow Ivand or Viero to drive their own car before they get their own resident identity cards. So far, Jeremy giving Ivand permission to take his own motorbike to school has gone through a lot of consideration. There are also S and K or terms and conditions that Ivand must always comply with if he wants to be free to bring his own motorbike.
Not wanting to argue, Jeremy then removed his arms from Elena’s body. He took out his cell phone and immediately called Rizky.
“Later, Rizky will come here!” Jeremy emphasized after speaking with Rizky by telephone. Then Ivand and Viero only responded with a nod of their heads.
After evening prayers, Rizky came with Nathan and Nafla, his twin sisters. The six of them finally left together and deliberately took only one car.

At 22. 10 WIB they arrived home bringing special gifts according to each of their wishes to be given on Kia’s birthday the day after tomorrow. Because she was sleepy, Elena excused herself and went up to her room first. In her room, Elena immediately fell on her soft bed. Both hands were stretched out.
For a moment, Elena stared at the ceiling with her hands moving up and down regularly. Creating gentle movements on her favorite pink sheets. Again his mind was filled with Devan. Just imagining Elena’s heart beating fast again. The corners of his lips lifted into a smile.
“Oh, I really miss those batteries,” Elena muttered with her face feeling hot. Even though it was battery, it succeeded in making Elena’s heart hot and cold.
Elena’s hand reached for the pillow to cover her face. Luckily, Elena was alone in the room, if someone else wanted to put her face, which was currently red like a boiled crab.
Elsewhere, Devan is contemplating. Staring at the night sky while monologuing as usual. Tells what he experienced today. He hopes that Gita will be able to listen to his complaints and give him advice so that he doesn’t take the wrong steps. Feeling the burden on his heart lessen a little, Devan returned to the room. He left the balcony door wide open, allowing the breeze to accompany him tonight.
Not going straight to sleep, Devan then grabbed his cell phone. According to his heart, Devan tried to check on Elena, whether the girl was still online or vice versa. Seeing that Elena was still online, Devan wrote a few sentences.
UNCLE DEVAN
“Not asleep yet?”
Elena’s eyes widened when she received a chat from the man she and Citra were currently discussing via private chat. Elena quickly opened the chat from Devan with a big smile. Elena turned her cell phone aside for a moment before replying.
ELENA
“Not yet Uncle, El just came home. After shopping for gifts for Sis Kia’s birthday,” replied Elena while biting her lower lip.
UNCLEM DEVAN
“Going with who?”
ELENA
“Together. Rizky was driving the car earlier,” replied Elena, telling the truth.
UNCLE DEVAN
“Oh… I want to see you again tomorrow.”
Just reading the message, Elena suddenly felt embarrassed. Even Elena’s hand which was holding her cell phone was shaking.
UNCLE DEVAN
“Why? El can’t do it?” Devan sent another message because Elena’s reply never came.
Elena became increasingly nervous reading the last message from Devan. Honestly, at the moment Elena is not ready to meet Devan again after what Devan did this afternoon. It was just a kiss on her forehead. But Devan’s actions succeeded in disturbing Elena’s peaceful life. Make the girl fly above the clouds.
Elena was just about to reply when suddenly her cell phone rang. Elena didn’t immediately accept it. But instead he looked at the flat screen which still displayed Devan’s name on it. Elena was confused about whether to accept the call or just ignore it. The second option certainly won’t be good for him later. That man would definitely be determined to meet him. Like when he was in Surabaya. Devan actually took him there.
For a moment the ringing stopped. But not long after, it rang again. Elena was forced to receive a call from Devan. Ignoring his heart which was currently starting to argue inside there.
“Why didn’t you reply to Uncle’s message?” Devan asked him to get straight to the heart of the problem.
“emmmm.” Elena could only mutter. Confused about what kind of answer to give the man.
“Okay, tomorrow Uncle, just pick me up at the house…”
“No, you don’t need it Uncle. Let El go there!” Elena interrupted quickly. For now, Elena doesn’t want her parents to feel suspicious. Moreover, it is not yet clear where their relationship will go. Devan only said he missed her yesterday. There were no words of love yet from the man’s lips. So for now Elena wants to understand her feelings first. On the other hand, Elena also wants to understand Devan’s feelings for her.
