Byanca didn't want that to happen. She so longs for the status as Devan's wife. Although after marriage later, the man does not meet her inner needs, it is not a problem for her.

"What are you thinking, honey?" suddenly Mrs. Seira's voice broke Byanca's focus.

"Is something bothering you?" she asked again.

"Ah, it's okay Mom, I'm just not feeling well."

"Okay then let's go inside and rest inside," Seira replied as she opened the car door and took the groceries she was carrying in the trunk.

Byanca just followed behind the middle-aged woman. Entering the house, Byanca immediately looked for Devan's whereabouts, while Mrs. Seira went straight to the kitchen and arranged the things she brought.

Down the stairs, Byanca dialed the man's number.

"Where's Devan dear?" Seira asked.

"I don't know, Mom. He's not in his room either."

"Try calling," said Seira.

"Yes, Mom."

She called Devan several times but no answer at all.

Byanca who was just about to land her body on the chair suddenly wobbled because of the dizziness that suddenly hit her head. Seeing this, Mrs. Seira immediately stopped her activities and approached her future daughter-in-law.

"Are you okay?"

"Let I help you," said Mrs. Seira as she put her arm around Byanca's shoulders, walking into the living room.

After that, Seira slowly grabbed the arm of the woman in front of her, she intended to check her pulse, then switched to checking her eyes.

"Looks like you lack blood, honey. Your body is also tired, don't push yourself too much. Soon, you will be married," said Mrs. Seira while taking a deep breath.

She then grabbed her bag which she had previously placed on the table, took out a flat-shaped object from it.

Looking for her son's contact, she intended to contact him. Only after making several calls, no answer at all.

"Where did the boy go?" Seira muttered then tried to contact Leo.

"Hello," a male voice came from the other side.

"Hello, Leo. Where are you now?" Seira asked.

"I'm outside Auntie, what's the matter?"

"You're with Devan?" asked the middle-aged woman again.

Leo didn't answer right away, causing Mrs. Seira to check her phone screen thinking that the connection was disconnected.

"Hello, Leo. Can you hear me?"

"A-Ahh, Yes Auntie. Why? What are you saying? Sorry, I was talking to someone," Leo replied from the other side.

"You're with Devan?" asked Mrs. Seira again repeating her sentence.

"Devan? Isn't he in the office?" instead of answering, Leo asked back?

"His secretary said he wasn't in the office today."

"Is that true? Maybe he's at the house, aunty," Leo replied.

Hearing her niece's response, Seira could immediately tell that Devan was not with her.

"Hmm, okay. Then I'll close first," said Seira.

"Okay, Auntie."

And after that, the connection is lost.

"What did Leo say, Mom?" Asked Byanca, the woman still leaning her head on the sofa, her stomach rumbling a little making it look like she wanted to throw up.historical

"He's not with Devan," said Seira.

Hearing this, Byanca's hands clenched into fists. In her mind, she guessed that maybe Devan was with Anna.

Seeing Byanca's silence, Seira held the woman's hand. "Don't worry, he'll be fine and might be taking care of something."

"Yes, Mom."

Seira nodded "Don't think about it. All you need to pay attention to now is your health, honey."

"Maybe it's better if you move to Grandma's house for a while, as well as things related to your work, it's better if you postpone it until your wedding is over, honey."

"I am worried if you're sick."

"How can you give a grandson to me if you don't take care of your health?" Seira continued to chatter, expressing her concern for Byanca.

Hearing all Mrs. Seira's words, Byanca slowly turned her head and shook her head slowly. "No mom. I'll stay at the hotel, and for my work maybe I'll do what you say," Byanca replied.

"But baby, who will take care of you if you are sick like this? Or like this, I will talk to Devan so you can stay here," said Seira again, her hands never stopped stroking the arm of her future daughter-in-law.

Byanca was silent. A faint smile appeared on her lips. "But I am afraid of troubling Devan, Mom."

"Or he refuses," she added.

"No, honey. I will guarantee it," replied Seira, looking very sure.

"Do you want it? I know you don't want to stay at Grandma's house because you don't want to bother us, do you?"

Byanca only responded with a smile on her lips.

"I will also definitely come here every day to cook for you, so there's no need to worry about anything," said Seira again.

Byanca was still silent as if considering the middle-aged woman's words.

"Okay, Mom. It's up to you," Byanca finally spoke, in her heart, she was already cheering cheerfully.

"Good, later I will ask some people to take all your things from the hotel and bring them here," said Seira.

"No. Don't do it, Mom," Byanca immediately got up from her position.

"Shut up, don't move too much, honey."

After Byanca felt a little better than before, she slowly opened her eyes and looked sadly at Mrs. Seira.

"I'll take care of my things, Mom. You don't need to hire anyone else," Byanca said in the smoothest possible tone.

"But, honey.."

"Trust me, Mom. I'm fine and can do it myself," said Byanca, cutting the middle-aged woman's sentence.

"Okay, but you can't get tired. Remember to take care of your health."

"Yes, Ma. Don't worry," replied Byanca. The reason she chose to do it herself was that she didn't want anyone to know that in the past few days Edward had been visiting and even spending the night with her.

And right now, her room was very messy after her activities with Edward all night. Even though the hotel room where she was staying had been cleaned by the hotel maid, but she still doubted that the room would be kept clean of the things she had done, because before leaving to pick up Mrs. Seira earlier, she did it again with Edward.

"Alright, honey. Then you rest here until you feel better, or do you want to go to Devan's room?"

"No need Mom, I'm just here," replied Byanca immediately.

"Okay," Nod Seira then rose from her position.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen first, honey."

Byanca nodded slowly.

***

Leo's apartment.

It was already five in the afternoon, Devan had woken up a few minutes ago. And now the man is taking a shower.

While Leo, the man was busy playing with Dave, while Naila seemed busy with the tv show that was currently airing.

And Anna? She's in the kitchen heating the cold chicken soup for Devan so that her remaining hangover can go away soon.
