The next day.
It is now nine o'clock in the morning. Soon was the departure time for Claire and the others.
Not only the Smith family, but the Atmadja family were also there. Accompany their prospective daughter-in-law and accompany her until the time of departure arrives.
"Honey, don't forget to call us when you arrive," Devan said to Claire.
"I'll do it," Claire replied with a nod.
"Tell us often, dear," said Mrs. Seira.
"You too Grandma. Don't forget to call me if you have free time," said Dave chimed in, the boy was in Mrs. Seira's arms.
"Of course. After all, in a few days, your grandfather and I will return to Australia. I have been away from the Hospital for a long time," said Mrs. Seira.
"I'll be visiting the Smith Family, my dear. As long as Mr. Aaron doesn't mind," she added.
"Of course, we welcome you, madam. The door to the Smith residence will always be open to you. You can visit at any time, I don't mind at all," said Aaron immediately.
hearing that, Mrs. Seira turned to her husband. They then smiled at each other.
"Wait!!" suddenly heard a voice from behind. Everyone immediately turned to the source of the sound and found Grandma running in a hurry. One hand holding a small piece of paper.
"You also have to say goodbye to me," said the old woman again.
"Grandma? Where have you been? We've been waiting for you for a long time," Leo said approaching her.
"I arrived a few minutes ago," Grandma answered.
"Grandma, what is this?" Leo asked again and took the small piece of paper in the old woman's hand.
"Grandma, do you want to go with Claire too?" Leo asked at once, the paper he was holding was a plane ticket to Australia.
"Mom..."
"I have the right to follow my grandson, I don't want my future daughter-in-law to feel the hassle of taking care of Dave. Besides, I'm lonely at home alone. So I decided to go with them," said Grandma cutting Mrs. Seira's words.
Everyone glanced at each other, "Grandma, are you sure you want to come with us?" Claire asked.
"Of course. I've been thinking about this for a few days. I won't let my grandson feel lonely," Grandma answered confidently.
"I can help you take care of Dave, honey. I don't want you to bother taking care of him alone," she added.
"But I'm afraid, you'll be the one troublesome for them, Grandma," Leo said.
"No, no. Don't hit me. I'm only kidding, Grandma. Why do you always take everything I say seriously?" Leo said immediately when Grandma suddenly raised the stick in her hand, intending to hit him.
"Hmm, I'm old. But I'm still strong. There's no way I'd bother them. Isn't that right, honey?" said Grandma while asking for support from Claire.
The woman smiled in response. "Thank you for your generosity, Grandma," said Claire very politely.
Leo wanted to speak again but failed when the man saw his mother's gaze. The man laughed crisply, rubbing the nape of his not-itchy neck.
"Then where is your luggage, Mom?" asked Sally.
"Ah, r-regarding that. I didn't bring anything with me," Grandma stammered a little, her voice very small.
Hearing the old woman's words, Serly and Mrs. Seira took a deep breath.
"Grandma, you just said you didn't want to bother Claire, and you..."
"I can look for my own needs there later," said Grandma interrupting Leo's words.
"You don't have to worry, madam. You don't have to worry about it either. The Smiths can cover all your needs, everyone, it's no big deal," Aaron interrupted.
Grandma laughed loudly, "Good, good, now I can calm down. Boy, stop babbling. I will go with them to Australia. For the time being, the two of you stay at Atmadja's residence," said Grandma while looking at Leo and Devan closely. together.
"Then be careful on the road," said Mrs. Seira and Serly almost at the same time.
"I'll follow you soon, honey," said Devan.
Claire nodded.
Shortly after, the announcement of the flight to Australia resounded.
"I'll call you when I get home," Claire said.
Hearing that, Devan nodded and hugged the woman again for the umpteenth time. Mrs. Seira and Serly also did the same.
They then parted, with feelings of longing already lurking in the man's heart.
.***
Three days later.
It was raining heavily in the city of J in the afternoon, occasionally a strong wind blew the leaves on the trees.
In a room at the D.A Group office, on the fifth floor to be precise. A man sits leaning on a chair.
The man seemed to have his eyes closed as if he was sleeping.
The knock on the door that had been heard a long time ago didn't bother him at all.
That man is Devan. The man remained in his position without moving an inch.
Drrtt... Drrtt... Drrtt...
The sound of a cell phone accompanied by vibration is heard. Made Devan who had been silent for a while now slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the name on the phone screen, Devan took a deep breath. He then deactivated the flat-shaped object and stood up from his position.
Out of the room, Hendra was already standing there.
"Black Jack has gathered, sir. They are at hotel A, waiting for your arrival," said Hendra with his head lowered.
One of Devan's brows furrowed, "When did they arrive?" he asked, stopping in his tracks.
"Since this afternoon, sir."
"Erm," said Devan nodding.
Two days ago, a massive auction was held in Singapore. Black Jack was one of the guests at the event. And coincidentally, Devan had something to talk to them about. Asking them to gather in Indonesia within three days is easy.
"Would you like to go there now, sir?" said Hendra.
"Yes. Prepare clothes for me," Devan replied and started walking again. During the whole day, he was very busy. His body was so tired that he unconsciously fell asleep on the chair in his room earlier.
"Okay, sir," replied Hendra and then walked after the man from behind. Enter the elevator that leads to the car park.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Devan looks very neat. After arriving at the hotel, the man rested for a while, took a shower, and then got ready.
Wearing a black tuxedo that Hendra brought a moment ago, with a very sharp look in his eyes, the man looked very domineering.
"They are already waiting in the meeting room, sir," said Hendra right after Devan opened the bedroom door. The man's appearance was completely different. No longer a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, but a handsome grown man.
Devan just nodded at the man's words, he then walked away.
The atmosphere in hotel A is very quiet, not without reason because Hendra has reserved all hotel rooms without exception. .all for the convenience of the Black Jacks.
"Max and Erick are already there, sir," said Hendra again.
Max is the real name of Lukman, Erick is the real name of Deden. As for Hendra, the man's real name is Samuel.
All this time, the three of them went undercover and guarded around Devan. Wearing a leather mask so similar to human skin, until now no one knew about it except Devan.
The three of them only took off their masks if they wanted to meet Black Jack.
The face of the middle-aged man that the three people always displayed was just a trick. They were very young, to be more precise, very handsome grown men.
Apart from Black Jack, only the people they had transactions with knew what the three of them looked like.
Stop right in front of the room that says VIP Guest room. Hendra immediately stepped forward, turning the doorknob to open it.
Devan cleared his throat, then entered the room. His steps were wide and firm, his eyes very sharp.
Hearing the knock of shoes entering the room, immediately those who were in there immediately turned to the source of the sound, reflexively standing with their bodies slightly bent.
"Greetings to the Leader," said a middle-aged man.
"Sit down," Devan replied curtly, then sat down in a chair, followed by the others.
Black Jack members have an average age of 35 years and over. As for Devan, the man has not even reached the age of 30.
Some of them were astonished and did not expect that their leader was so young. All this time they thought that the leader of Black Jack was a man aged forty and over.
At first, some of them were a little hesitant, but the doubt only lasted a few seconds before Devan showed him the special plat that only their leader had.
Mr. X had been hiding his identity and now appeared in front of them. Anyone could tell that what the man was about to say was very important.
It was an honor for them to be able to see the real face of Mr. X, their leader.
Sitting in his chair, Devan was silent for a while. Scan one by one the members of Black Jack. .causing those in the room to glance at each other.
Only the sound of Devan's tapping fingers on the table filled the room.
