Devan's residence
Currently, Byanca was standing behind her bedroom window. Enjoy the refreshing evening air. A few hours ago, that woman received a call from Edward and since earlier, the smile has never left her face.
"Who are you to ask me to cancel this marriage?" muttered Byanca then laughed lightly.
Knock...knock...knock...
"Byanca, where are you, honey?"
Suddenly a knock accompanied by a middle-aged woman's voice that she knew very well came from outside the room. Immediately Byanca walked to the door and opened it.
"Mom?" Byanca seemed surprised to see Mrs. Seira's arrival.
"Sorry I just came, honey," said the middle-aged woman then hugged Byanca briefly.
"I thought you wouldn't come," Byanca said.
"I wanted to come this morning, but Leo suddenly called, asking the extended family to gather. He said he was going to say something very important, she even said that you would also come, dear," said Mrs. Seira at length.
One of Byanca's eyebrows raised faintly, "Really? Leo said that I would also come?"
"Eh? Aren't you coming?"
"Mama sees for yourself, I'm still here. Not going anywhere, with my current condition, I feel lazy to go out, Ma," replied Byanca.
"Besides, Leo didn't tell me I had to come. Can't I just ask Mama? I don't have to come, do I," she added.
"Hehehe, right, honey."
"So what did Leo say, Ma?" asked Byanca with a cold gleam in her eyes, only briefly then returned to her warmth.
"I don't know what happened to him, he didn't come. Nor did he give any news. I called him before I came here, but he didn't answer my calls," Mrs. Seira replied.
"That's why I chose to come here instead of waiting for the boy," she added again, her attitude still as usual as if nothing had ever happened between her and his nephew.
"Forget it, now that I'm here, how do you feel now? You still often dizzy?" asked the middle-aged woman again.
"Erm just a little, now and then. I feel nauseous too," said Byanca.
Seira who heard that just smiled, "You've eaten right?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"I brought fruit for you, want to come down and eat together?" offered Seira again.
Hearing that, Byanca nodded faintly.
"Okay. Come on baby," Seira said then grabbed Byanca's arm, pulled her slowly, down the stairs to the living room.
"Devan isn't home yet?" Seira asked right after landing her body on the sofa, one hand grabbed the knife and the mango she bought during the trip earlier.
"Not yet, Mom," replied Byanca at the same time. Yes, since yesterday she had not seen her future husband and reportedly did not know. Even so, she didn't want Mrs. Seira to know that her son didn't come home.
Byanca didn't want Mrs. Seira to think that their current relationship was very strained.
"He's busy Mom, he said he would often come home late because he took care of a new project that his company was about to launch," added Byanca again. The woman knew this because she had once heard Devan talking to someone on the phone.
"That child, the marriage is near, still busy in the office," replied Mrs. Seira, she had finished peeling the skin of the mango in her hand.
"Just leave it, Mom, I'm fine at home alone. Devan is doing it for our future anyway."
Mrs. Seira sighed harshly at Byanca's words.
"Here, eat it," she said later, as she handed a plate of mango pieces to her future daughter-in-law.
"Thanks, Mom," Byanca replied.
"Equally love."
DDUUAARRR…
Suddenly an explosion sound was heard, making Byanca and Mrs. Seira who were busy talking suddenly startled.
"What's that?" Byanca rose from her position, followed by the middle-aged woman next to her. They immediately walked out of the house to ascertain what had just happened, because the sound of explosions sounded very close to where they were.
Right after leaving the house, they met Deden who was mowing the grass, the middle-aged man seemed to feel the same way that Byanca and Mrs. Seira felt.
"Deden, where did the explosion sound come from?" Mrs. Seira asked approaching the gardener.
"Wait a minute, I'll check it out first, madam," replied Deden.
"OK."
With hasty steps, Deden headed to the buggy car he often drives. The middle-aged man headed to the backyard of the house.
As he approached his residence, he could see smoke rising high, accompanied by a scorched smell carried by the wind.
The buggy car he was driving suddenly stopped in the middle of the road when his eyes caught the house where they lived, which was now engulfed in flames that seemed to have grown bigger.
Deden panicked, the man tried to approach but failed. The temperature of the surrounding air grew hotter.
Deden thought that maybe he could still save some of their valuables, but in fact, his guess was wrong.
The whole house was engulfed in flames. Without waiting long, he immediately called the fire department, asking them to come.
After doing that, Deden re-entered his Buggy car, turned around, and returned to Mr. Devan's residence.
"What happened? Do you know where the source of the explosion came from?" asked Mrs. Seira when even the middle-aged man had not gotten out of the car he was driving.
"The house in the backyard is on fire, madam," replied Deden.
"What?" Mrs. Seira was surprised. She had known there was a house in the backyard, only she had never seen it or been there.
"Immediately call the fire department before the fire spreads everywhere," said Byanca, following along, the woman followed Mrs. Seira, approaching Deden who seemed to be shaking.
"Okay Miss. I've contacted the fire department," replied Deden with his head still lowered.
"In that case, good."
"Mama we better go back inside," Byanca said.
"But…"
"You want to go to the backyard?" asked Byanca immediately cutting off the middle-aged woman's words.
"Yes."
"Then I'm too, Ma. Deden, take us to the backyard," Byanca ordered.
"Okay, Miss," replied the middle-aged man as he bowed slightly.
"No. I won't let you go, honey. Let me go see it, you stay here, wait until I come back," said Mrs. Seira pulling Byanca's arm who had started to walk towards the buggy car.
"There's a lot of smoke in there. It's not good for your health, honey," she added
