Chapter 33 - 33. Grandma's Visit
Entering Devan\'s home yard, a middle-aged man immediately greeted Leo and Grandma.
The man is Devan\'s driver \'Hendra\'.
"Is Lija still there?" Leo asked Hendra.
"Lija just got home, sir."
"Okay. Bring the things in the trunk to the kitchen," said Leo.
"Yes sir."
"Come on, Grandma."
"Devan is inside right?" asked Grandma.
"Yes, madam," answered Hendra with a slight bow, he had worked with Devan for a very long time, obviously he knew who the old woman was with Mr. Leo at the moment, she was the lady old Atmadja \'Mrs. Raina Atmadja.\'
As for Lija, she is a maid who works at Devan\'s house. She only comes in the morning and leaves in the afternoon, her job is only to clean the house, nothing more.
The reason why Lija didn\'t live in that house was because of Devan\'s request, he didn\'t like it when other people were on the same roof as him. He thought it would be very disturbing, he preferred to live alone.
As for cooking, Devan prefers to eat out, ordered food, or cook it himself. Yes, because he decided to live apart from Grandma, occasionally he cooked his food.
"Devan ..." Leo shouted bursting into the big white house.
"Where\'s the kid?" Oma asked while looking around the room.
"Maybe swimming in the back pool, Grandma." Leo knew Devan\'s habit on weekend afternoons. If his cousin didn\'t come out then usually he would just spend his time in the pool.
"Let Leo check it, Grandma wait and sit down first."
But instead of obeying Leo\'s words, the old lady Atmadja immediately walked to the kitchen, intending to organize the groceries she bought during the trip.
"Grandma, rest first. Let Hendra do it," Leo exclaimed when he saw his grandma walking into the kitchen.
"That\'s okay. I\'ve been wanting to do this for so long."
"Okay, it\'s up to Grandma." Leo immediately walked to the back garden where the swimming pool was.
But only a few minutes later he reappeared.
"Devan..." he called again, got no answer, Leo reached into his trouser pocket, took out his cell phone, and made a call.
At the same time, his sense of hearing caught a familiar ringing tone in his ears. He followed where the voice was and ended up in a room on the two floors.
Opened the bedroom door and "Oh my God, Devan…" Leo shouted as soon as he entered, waking his cousin up. No wonder there has been no response since earlier.
"Wake up. It\'s afternoon."
"Oma is coming," he said again as he pulled the blanket that covered Devan\'s body.
Hearing the noise, Devan blinked, adjusting the light entering his retina. While trying to normalize his feelings, he got up and leaned against the bed, his head feeling a little heavy.
"What are you doing here?" asked Devan right after getting a clear vision and meeting Leo in front of him.
"Are you sleeping or dead training?"
"Noisy," said Devan and rose from his position.
"Tidy this up, I\'m going to take a shower," he said then left Leo alone in the room.
"Hey, I\'m not your maid," Leo shouted out of the room. Leaving the very messy room.
"Let Lija take care of it tomorrow."
Devan who was walking towards the stairs suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.
"Grandma..."
"What are you doing here?"
"Devan…what happened to you?" asked Mrs. Raina immediately put the food ingredients in her hands, seemed to want to approach her granddaughter.
Realizing how messy his appearance was, he resumed his steps, "Devan takes a shower first, Grandma."
Seeing Devan going to another room, the woman turned to Leo.
"Don\'t ask me anything, Grandma."
The old lady Atmadja snorted when she heard the words of her grandson. She then returned to continue her activities that had been delayed.
Until a few tens of minutes passed, Devan came and join with them. Wearing a plain black t-shirt combined with knee-length shorts.
"What is Granny doing?" asked Devan approaching the kitchen where his grandmother was.
"She is concocting poison for both of us," said Leo who was sitting at the dining table.
Simultaneously, an extremely loud crashing sound was heard.
"Aww-sshh… Grandma, this hurts." Leo\'s head was hit by an old can from Mrs. Raina. Since earlier, the man just watched everything the woman did without intending to disturb. Not without reason, because previously, he had intended to help but only ended up making the old woman angry.
Suddenly the fire soared making the three of them panic. Luckily Leo and Devan moved swiftly to grab the fire extinguisher* that was hanging on the kitchen wall and immediately extinguished the fire.
"Almost," Leo muttered right after placing the red tube on the kitchen table.
"Granny, what happened? How come..."
"The pot is burnt, I forgot to fill it with water," said Mrs. Raina.
"Oh my gosh, Grandma… are you going to cook or kill yourself?"
Hearing the two, Devan just sighed deeply. "What do you want to eat Grandma?"
"I am cooking for you two, not for myself."
Glancing at the watch in his hand, Devan then decided to order the food.
"Granny should rest," said Devan then lifted the old woman\'s body and landed her on the sofa in the living room.
"Hello." Devan makes a call.
"Hello, sir."
"Comes in, Hendra, and cleans up the mess in the kitchen," he said. Yes, even though Hendra\'s job is only to be a driver, he often does housework when the maid is not there. Like this time and of course, he didn\'t do all that for free because Devan had given him more salary, especially for problems like this.
Hendra and the caretaker of Devan\'s garden and yard have their own house specially made for them, a detached house not far behind the magnificent house.
"I\'m still not done," said Raina.
"I won\'t allow," the two men said at the same time.
Hearing his grandson\'s big voice. Mrs. Raina scowled.
Devan who glanced back at his cellphone screen, frowned, his eyes focused on dozens of messages from Leo.
"Is it because I didn\'t answer your phone that you spammed me...." his words trailed off right after seeing the contents of the message.
