Father Or Boyfriend ?
Chapter 199

Devan stared one by one the faces of the mechanics who seemed still silent. They all must have been very shocked and well it was Devan could see from their faces. It felt very sad this time, he tried to wipe his tears but the two eyes that had now been flushed incessantly shed tears.

Devan slowly stepped into the line of mechanics who are now seen marching with their gazes so very sad that even the notoriously grumpy Tara now painstakingly endured her cries.

"Why can this happen, Boss Ceo? Wh why? I came early in the morning the state of the workshop was like this," asked Mamat.

"Why Boss?" ask Mamat again.

"Gue doesn't know," Devan laughed a little and turned to look at the flat and charred workshop.

Devan folded his lips inward and smiled. His smile now turned into a cry but Devan quickly held back, it was a bit embarrassing if he cried in front of his mechanics.

"Boss is fine, right?" ask Mamat..

Devan smiled and nodded slowly as if to tell his mechanics if he was okay and soon Devan touched Mamat's shoulder with warmth and patted him several times.

"I know the Boss is sad but-" said Mamat stopped, it felt like he could not talk this time.

Mamat bit her lower lip trying not to cry but what can make Mamat take off her hand and quickly he hugged Devan's body while crying. Devan smiled, it felt like he also wanted to cry now but he was trying to toughen up.

"Boss, I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry maybe I'm not good at the fire when the fish burn is over. I'm sorry Boss," said Mamat.

Devan let go of his embrace then patted Mamat on the shoulder while shaking his head.

"Lo, what the hell is that talking? It's not your fault, Mat!" devan said as he patted Mamat on the shoulder who now rubbed his eyes with his sleeves.

"But Boss-"

"Udahlah! Don't think about it" he tried to calm and reassure Mamat if this fire was not his fault.

"Bos Ceo, Oe apologize Boss Ceo," said Yuang who was now stepping towards Devan as his two fused palms gave an apologetic gesture to Devan.

"Sorry what else?" devan was upset while trying to smile.

Devan stroked the back of Yuang who was now crying as much as a child.

"Boss, money.the money of the workshop is in the closet drawer, boss. Oe already cali in lemali but oe look very real lemali has Boss Ceo already hancul, Boss. The money is gone" explained Yuang.

Devan sighed, he did not expect that Yuang had just checked the money in the closet the last time Yuang had saved money.

"Have a calm time!" devan said win.

Jojon who had rubbed his wet cheek was now patting Devan's shoulder slowly, Jojon knew at this time Devan needed support from people closest to him. Jojon knew that his boss had just lost Mak Fatima and now his workshop had been destroyed by fire.

Devan looked at Jojon with a smile.

"Who's crying anyway?" devan asked, patting Jojon on the shoulder.

"I'm sad, Boss," said Jojon.

"Me too, Boss," Deon said as he raised his right hand.

"Please Boss! God knows what's best for Boss Ceo," said Adam, then rubbed Devan's back, who was now nodding.

Mamat now rubbed his wet cheek and turned to look at Tara who had been as hot as before.

"Boss, Tara's crying boss." Show Mamat towards Tara who is now looking at Devan with her eyes reddened.

Devan smiles even though it feels heavy.

"Jon, Jojon!" calling Devan makes Jojon look over.

"Yes Boss," said Jojon quickly as he moved closer to Devan.

"Tuh, Tara was crying! The time was already so bad," obviously Devan made Jojon rubbed his wet cheek with his palm and turned to look at Tara who was still as hot as possible.

"Dam!!! Why do you cry?" jojon asked while hitting Tara's arm.

"Body doang big but crybaby," Jojon cerocos.

"Look at the Baby, the soft baby is not crying." Pointing Jojon towards Baby who is now smiling widely makes the mechanics turn to look at Baby.

"Well, baby is wearing the latest false eyelashes so he is not crying" Haikal explained.

"Well, what about tempeh?"

"Know!!!" jojon shouted, Yuang and Mamat made Deon gasp in shock.

"Well, I'll always look at the IG Baby" Haikal replied.

"I've been caught often to IG I'm cieeeeee," tease Baby.

Haikal poked his lips in annoyance, as if he had mispronounced.

Cia smiled even though her tears had been dripping down her cheeks. What kind of trial this time was so very heavy. Can he get through all this.

"All lines!" peech Devan with his voice already hoarse.

All of them now rushed to stand neatly in front of Devan who was no longer crying. Everything now stopped his crying and forced himself to stand up straight.

"Ready everybody?" ask Devan.

"Ready!!!" shouted the mechanics compactly.

Devan took a deep breath and felt so claustrophobic.

"Today's a fire shop and that means there's no place for you to work today and maybe so on."

"Te.te.te.thank you for your cooperation all this time."

"Thank you again."

"Gue's proud of you."

"Gua knows you've all worked here for a long time and there must be a lot of memories we have in this place."

"Gue's sorry if I got it wrong as long as you all work in this workshop."

"For that you all gu...gue..gue fired," Devan said as if unable to say that.

The mechanics who heard it were shocked. They do not feel ready to stop in a workshop full of fun stories. In this workshop they all had different personalities that were put together into a family.

"Dissolve!" peech Devan.

Everyone fell silent, no one broke up the ranks after being ruled by Devan.

"Why don't you all disband?" ask Devan.

Everyone is silent, no one answers Devan's question.

"Babys!" devan's calling made Baby look up.

"Lo can now work in a salon and join your friends! I know that every hour of rest must go to the salon."

"Thank you for everything" Devan explained, making Baby smile.

"Jojon, thank you for your laughs we're all so not bored in the workshop."

"Mamat, I salute you who are smart and thank you for Trisakti's book of disputes" said Devan.

"Life the tri-sakti book!!!" mamat shouted making the mechanics gasp in shock.

"Well, I know you've been working here for a long time and I know that during your time here you must have enough money to save money for you to go back to China" explained Devan.

"Deon, I know you're the single most passionate mechanic but you have a lot of services here."

"And Adam, you're the only one who's the best here and thank you for the religious knowledge that you love all of us."

"Tara."

"Yes Boss!!!" shout Tara.

"Thank you for your loud voice."

"Together Boss!!!" shout Tara.

Devan is now silent for a while and bowed and before long he raised his eyes again to look at all his mechanics.

"Let's disperse!" peech Devan again.

All the mechanics are now turning away one by one leaving the Boss with slow steps and feel heavy.

Devan was silent staring at the departure of his mechanics. They were like brothers to him. Mamat who is the smartest mechanic in this workshop is complete with his tri-actbook. Jojon, the funny guy who is busy every day just making people laugh with his silly words. Tara, the gondrong guy who always screams every day. Deon, the boy with the bad brain. Yuang, the young Chinese man who always keeps the workshop pretty well, Baby the man who feels the most beautiful here and Adam, the gentleman who always talks every day in the workshop.

Devan's gaze now turned to look at Haikal who seemed to be standing right in front of him.  His gaze now seemed empty with the guitar in his hand.

Devan smiled then approached Haikal who was still silent. Now the two looked at each other for a while ended by Devan who was bowed.

Haikal breathed heavily and immediately patted Devan's shoulder gently. Haikal smiled even though Devan was not looking at Haikal. Haikal bowed and turned and walked away from Devan.

Devan turned to look at the flat workshop with both eyes that had blurred because they were blocked by tears.

It feels so painful.
