BXBX NOVEL Chapter 325 - Something Bad Happened
The highway they passed was not too busy. But Devan deliberately drove the car slowly. Solely just because he wanted to linger with his future wife.
Being carried away, Claire unconsciously fell asleep in her chair.
When Devan saw Claire was asleep, he immediately turned down the volume of the music, trying his best so that Claire wouldn't be disturbed by anything.
Even after arriving at the cinema parking lot, the man had no intention of waking the woman. He just kept quiet and waited for Claire to wake up from her sleep.
The rain had stopped, only drizzle remained.
At this moment, Devan was very happy, because he leaned back in the chair while looking at Claire to his heart's content. until thirty minutes had passed.
Claire suddenly opened her eyes, making Devan close his eyes immediately. He didn't want Claire to know that he had been watching her since earlier. The man pretended to be asleep.
Claire cleared her throat softly, then glanced at the watch in her hand. A sigh escaped her lips. She then looked around and found herself already in the parking lot.
"Devan," Claire called then turned to the man.
"Devan," she called again when she got no answer.
With a slow-motion, Devan opened his eyes. "Ah, you're awake, honey," said Devan then corrected his position.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" she asked.
"You slept very well, honey, I couldn't bear to do it," Devan replied.
"Here, have a drink," he added as he handed Claire a bottle of mineral water that he had bought before entering the cinema parking lot.
"Thanks," said Claire.
"Are you sure you're going to take me to the movies? You look tired, Devan. Since arriving in Indonesia, you haven't had a good rest, have you?" said Claire.
"I'm never tired when I'm with you, honey. How do you feel now? Want to come in now? I've already booked the ticket," replied Devan.
"You don't have to push yourself like this, honey."
"No, you're wrong. I do everything with pleasure, honey. Don't say that again," said Devan again.
"Okay, let's go," replied Claire, nodding.
Entering the cinema, Devan held Claire's hand. The atmosphere in there was quiet. Only a few people were seen queuing in front of the cashier.
Someone suddenly came and approached the two of them, they were the manager of the cinema.
"Welcome, Sir and Miss Smith," said the manager.
Claire reflexively turned to Devan with a questioning look. She never expected that wherever she went, someone would recognize her. Is this what it feels like to be the daughter of a rich family?
"Please come with me," said the manager again respectfully.
Devan just nodded, then followed the fat man until he reached a door marked room 7.
"Please come in, sir, miss. Have a nice time," said the manager as he opened the door for the two of them.
"Thank you," Devan replied.
Right after entering the room, the room lights immediately came on.
"Come on, honey," Devan said as he pulled Claire's hand towards the chair in the middle of the room.
The woman just obeyed and didn't ask much.
The room was very quiet, only the two of them.
"Where are all these people? Why is it just the two of us?" Asked Claire right after landing her body on the chair.
"I booked this place just for the two of us, honey. I don't want anyone to disturb our time together," Devan replied.
Two women suddenly came and approached them, they brought popcorn with jumbo size and a cold drink.
"Thank you," Claire said to the two women. After that, she returned to focus on the cinema screen. The film will start soon.
Drrtt… Drrtt… Drrtt…
Devan's phone suddenly vibrated. Immediately he reached into his pocket and took out a flat-shaped object from it.
Claire turned her head, "Who?" she asked.
"Leo," Devan replied, intending to turn down the call from his cousin.
"Just answer, maybe he wants to say something," Claire replied.
Devan took a deep breath, why is Leo always a nuisance? This sucks.
"Hello," said Devan first.
"Devan… Dave is missing."
"WHAT?" Devan immediately stood up from his chair.
"I'm sorry, this was my negligence. Naila and I are still looking for his whereabouts, we will find him."
"Tell me, where are you now?" asked Devan, his breath sounding ragged, the look on his face was very worried.
"What happened?" asked Claire standing up. Staring at Devan without blinking.
Devan didn't say it to Claire right away, only glanced at the woman.
"Quick, tell me where you are?" asked Devan repeating his question.
Leo then said their current address.
"Okay, we'll be there soon," said Devan then hung up the phone.
"What's the wrong Devan? Tell me, Dave is all right, right?" asked Claire, worried about her son.
"What did Leo say to you?"
"Where are they now?" asked Claire in succession.
"I'm worried about my son, we better catch up with them," she added and grabbed her sling bag.
"Okay honey, we'll catch up with them," Devan said then hugged Claire tightly, making the woman freeze on the spot.
"Everything will be fine, honey. Trust me," he said again, and that made Claire even more worried about her son.
"What's the matter, Devan? What happened to Dave?" she asked.
"I'll say it in the car, now let's go, honey," replied Devan.
Claire just nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Her mind was filled with her son, the feeling was very bad.
Devan drove his car very fast, overtaking the cars on the road. He'd almost even broken a traffic sign if Claire hadn't warned him.
"Devan, tell me. You've been silent since earlier, If anything happens to Dave, tell me. I am his mother, I have the right to know everything," said Claire.
Hearing that, Devan took a deep breath. He was worried that something would happen to Claire if he told her this.
"Devan, can't you hear me?" Claire slightly raised her voice.
"Dave's missing," Devan replied curtly, his voice low, but Claire heard him.
"What? Dave is missing?" Claire repeated, wanting to confirm her hearing.
Hearing that, Devan nodded. "We'll find him for sure, don't worry, honey.. Dave is a smart kid, he won't go too far, trust me," said Devan trying to calm his future wife.
