The Deal with the Devil
Chapter 9
Still in a tense atmosphere and still unsolved, suddenly the doorbell rang repeatedly in a marathon. It may have sounded since, but no one heard it well.
"Gosh, has he been sounding since.." said Christian.
He left Erick and opened the door.

"Good morning .." said Casandra and Taslim.
The two are the parents of Erick Taslim, Christian's son-in-law. That morning the two came to surprise their son-in-law and son. Their happy faces were beaming behind the door, very different from Christian's suddenly pale face when he found out that his two men had come at the wrong time.
"Please enter .." take Christian in stammering.
"Did our arrival bother Mr Chris?" casandra asked back with a good look at Christian's face that was slowly moistened with a small sweat.
"Ah, no. Come in please come in!" take him quickly.
He did not want to if the two of his iron will wait so long outside the house.
The house was so quiet, that it made Casandra feel strange because she did not meet Alma who would usually welcome him warmly.
"What else is traveling today, how does it feel to be so quiet?" casandra said by putting her little jelly bag on the table.
"There's all ..." clearly the real Christian is also confused about where to start.
"Look, Mr. Chris, we are very sorry because our arrival was impressed suddenly. But all this is Sandra's request, you know not if the woman has asked?"
"The man can do anything but obey..."
Welcome Taslim with a fluffy laugh because of his self-defeating. But still it did not make Crishtian's heart and mind gradually subside, he was still riled up by the situation at his home. What would have happened if the two men had known this terrible thing from the lips of their own son Erick.
"Where are the two newlyweds, aren't they awake yet ?"
"Ah you, did you forget about our newlyweds. You fell asleep one full day at a time, and just one day your son got married you've been visiting him." Tepis Taslim is back.
Papa Erick was deliberately to break the atmosphere that he thought was so tense there. So he tried to neutralize the atmosphere.
"A moment, I'll look inside." added Christian with panic.
After the departure of the besan, Casandra began to tell strange things to her husband.
"We didn't arrive in time, why does it feel so strange this house. Suddenly silent without any activity!" coined.
"Had it been, perhaps they were also busy resting after yesterday's event. You alone are very impatient to see Erick back after parting 1x24 hours." Taslim quipped casually.
In the back seat, Erick and Nancy were sitting so far away. One on the right, and one on the left. With eyes filled with question marks, Erick looked at Nancy so closely that it made the girl feel very uncomfortable with Erick's body gesture.
Occasionally he looked at the shoulders and around his body, perhaps there was a strange object that could provoke Erick's horrible eyes. After not finding anything strange, now he switched to smelling his scent slowly whether anything stung.
Still with the same thing, he did not find an unpleasant body scent even on him.
With a finger that had been knocking on the table rhythmically, now Erick stopped him and immediately wanted to convey all his worries since his chat with Christian.
He could not deny if Christian's words so haunted the entire contents of his brain suddenly.
But the statement had to be blurred when Christian patted his back and called his name simultaneously.
"DON'T!" Erick's mind that found his effort was dashed for a moment.
He immediately moved from the seat to meet his parents .
"Hi dear .." said Casandra who was impatient to hug her favorite son.
But he was also suddenly surprised when he looked at the messy face of Erick who met the two there.
"Hey hotshot, have you been fighting?" casandra asked, turning back Erick's chin in turn.
But Erick remained silent with eyes that were so upset.
"Of course he just had a fight, he must have won his first round well." - Taslim .
Papa Erick is a man who is so humorous, he never even issued a high note to his wife and child. In addition to humor, he is also known as a man who is so loyal to his wife Casandra. Although struggling with property, it does not necessarily make Taslim to do something very inappropriate in the household, namely infidelity.
"Sir ...!" tepis Casandra with annoyance, he re-styled Erick's hair that impressed carut marut there.
Not long ago, now Felicia has come out with Christian. His face was no less pitiful than Erick, he looked at the faces of his two in-laws with a flat smile.
"Is he sick, Mr. Chris?" ask Casandra who began to be suspicious of the appearance of the two newlyweds.
"In-he may just be exhausted."
There was no other reason so good when the question trapped him one time.
"Okay, let's forget for a moment the tension here !" Obviously Casandra with a single incision her eyes repeated.
He seemed to be unable to see the condition of the house anymore, but how else he had arrived there without giving any previous news.
"Our arrival here just wanted to give this little gift to these two newlyweds ..."
"Let's go, come here and take this" said Casandra.
The map extends a bright red color and some gold motifs decorate there, and the middle he gave to Felicia.
"Open up!" the door is happy.
Feli's hand immediately opened the hook from the map and took out the contents slowly.
Well, it was a honeymoon trip ticket that he purposely prepared specifically for his ex-boy. Not to forget, a silver key was also tucked in with a red ribbon at the end .
"Key?" sahut Feli with flat.
"Of course, it's the key to your house later.We have prepared it for Erick and his little family later dear." said Casandra no less happy.
It should be the happiest moment of Felicia's life, too, but apparently the incident this morning still can not he forget just there to make him from earlier very rigid to respond to everything.
While Nancy who was at the table eating so hate to hear all the happiness that Felicia obtained easily.
