Davin lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, with indistinct smiles. Henry's words always haunted his heart and mind. Speech that is able to make himself best hover in the clouds.
Flashback On!
Almira brought a tray out of the kitchen, then placed the tray on a mat.
Henry fixed the position of the tray that Almira had brought earlier, then took another tray from Davina's hand. Henry was silent for a moment, he looked up at Davin who was bowing and staring at him.
"Khemm! Look at it later! Now eat first!" almira said as she stared at Henry and Davin.
Henry and Davin immediately turned their eyes away. Both of them were really embarrassed to hear Almira's words earlier. Davin straightened up again, then walked up to Zia, and sat down next to the woman.
Now they're sitting on the same mat. In front of them was a lunch menu that looked so simple. But very appetizing.
Zia took a plate for Davin, put two spoons of rice on it.
"Eat, Davin. This is all Auntie can cook, I hope you like" Zia smiled.
"Thank you, Bi. This is more than enough. Again, thank you."
Henry and Zen smiled at her. Henry grabbed a plate containing fried fish, then put the fish on Davin's plate.
"Eat! Don't be shy like that" he said with a smile. Davin just replied with a nod.
After lunch. Davin and Almira take the time to help Zia clean all the dirty dishes, and intend to wash them all.
Zia stopped Davin's hand while shaking her head. "Later Auntie washes, now Davin goes home and rest."
"It's okay, Bi. Let Davin help, just once.." whine Davin.
"Okay, but be careful."
Davin smiled and began to squat down to wash the dishes. Almira, who saw this, ran to Davin and helped the girl.
"Sister Davin used to wash dishes, huh at home?" almira asked, because she was surprised at how skillfully Davin's hand washed all the dishes in front of her
"Never, this is the first. Indeed why?"
"Well, this is the first one, huh? But Brother Davin looks great, my hands just can't be as fast as Kak Davin's, '" said Almira.
Henry who was standing in the kitchen doorway smiled hearing the two girls' brief conversation. Henry walked over to Davin and also Almira.
"Excuse me," he said as he tidied Davin's hair, tying it with his rubber band.
"This is prettier," continued Henry smiling.
Davin looked up at Henry. "Thank you, Om," said Davin smiling.
"Hmmm....Hemm....My presence is not considered, okay, I'll close my ears and be a stone!" sahut Almira's. Almira refocused on her plates, letting the two people nearby stare at each other with gazes that Almira did not understand what they meant.
* * *
"Thank you for lunch, Bi. Davin said first," said Davin to Zia and Zen.
"Can I take him home?" henry asked Zia. Zia did not immediately reply, she was instead staring at Davin right now.
"Ask the man!" answer Zia.
"Don't, Om! Davin can go home alone" Davin replied. Because the distance of Zia's house and the house he occupied was not far. It only takes 7-10 minutes to get there.
"I'll keep driving you!" Henry stood behind Davin, then followed Davin's steps, out of Zia's courtyard. Davin just took a slow breath. He allowed Henry to step beside him.
Now the two go hand in hand towards the old house that Davin occupied.
"Davin?"
"Hmm." Davin glanced at Henry at a glance, and looked back at the road in front of him.
"May I ask you something?"
Davin just nodded slowly.
"Why are you here? Do your parents know you're here?" asked Henry softly. Henry stopped his steps and looked at Davin.
"No-no, Mom and Dad don't know I'm here" said Davin.
"You're running away?"
Davin nodded slowly. While Henry began to catch his breath, exhaling it slowly. Henry dared himself to grab Davin's hand, while looking into the cold girl's eyes.
"You better go home now. Don't be like this, you're a woman, it's not good to be blurry like this" Henry said in a soft tone.
"I love you, I care about you, I don't want anything to happen to you. So please, go home and go back to your Mom and Dad" Henry continued.
Davin's still down. For some reason, he felt that what Henry said was true. It should not be like this, it should stay at home and calm itself in the house as well. Not just run away and disappear like this.
"Think again, I hope you listen to the advice I gave you earlier." Henry took Davin's hand off, then continued his steps. He kept walking beside Davin, sending Davin to the front of Zia's old house.
"Thank you, Om," said Davin before entering the house.
"Either. And don't call me that, just call me Brother Henry, I'm 27, only 5 years and a half apart from you."
Davin didn't answer anything. He stepped in when he saw Henry's back had walked away from his house.
"Hiks, that's so sweet.....Yeah, God.....Is this what you call falling in love?"
Davin turned around with a happy smile. He held his chest that began to pound, when Henry's shadow haunted his mind.
Flashback Off
Davin woke up from his sleep. He looked out the window of the room. Davin has made his decision. He will return to the main house, and also apologize to Father, Mother and everyone who helped to find his whereabouts.
Davin stepped closer to the wooden cabinet in the corner of the room. He put some of the clothes he was carrying in his bag.
The girl is now walking towards Zia's house, intending to say goodbye to Zia's little family. And also wanted to thank him for all the things that Zia had given him.
* * *
"Davin said goodbye to go home, Auntie, Uncle. Say hello to Almira too. And thank you for all that Aunt and Uncle gave Davin, thank you so much."
"Together, Davin. Uncle and Aunt are happy you're here. If there is time, come again, and stay longer here" replied Zen. Davin just smiled at it.
"Who are you going home with?" ask a man who is now standing behind Davin. Davin turned his body to face the man.
"I'll find a taxi up ahead" replied Davin bowed in embarrassment.
"There's no taxi here, but don't worry. I'm willing to drive you home safely" Henry smiled sincerely.
"I don't want to trouble Om..."
"No, I don't feel bothered. Hows it? Do you want to come home with me?" cut Henry.
Davin thought for a moment. He turned his body back to face Zia and also Zen. The two men smiled at him, and it was as if they also wanted Davin to come home with their niece.
"All right, I want to."
Henry and Zen smiled at the same time. The two exchanged glances while smiling triumphantly.
Davin grabbed Zia's hand. Kiss the back of the woman's hand. Davin did the same with Zen.
"Be careful, Agus....Don't take him away again." cried Zen as Henry's motorbike came out of his yard. Henry only responded with a hump.
Henry glanced at Davin from the windshield of his motorbike, then pulled Davin's hand, putting it on his waist.
"Hold on! So that you don't fall later" said Henry. Davin just obeyed.
* * *
Half an hour later.
Henry stopped his motorbike right in front of a diner. He is now hungry, and wants to fill his stomach immediately, so he can focus on driving again.
"What do you want to order?" henry asked Davin who was sitting in front of him.
"Anything, Brother," replied Davin bowed. Henry smiled at the girl's reply.
Henry ordered the same menu as himself for Davin. Henry took out his phone, waiting for the order to come.
"Davin?"
Davin lifted his head, looking at Henry's face.
"Can we take a picture together?" henry asked doubtfully.
"One photo is charged at 5 million rupiah" Davin replied, holding back his laughter.
"Alright, I'll pay for it, as long as I can get a chance to take a picture with you."
"Hahaha, I'm kidding, brother. Here's Hpnya!"
Henry gave his HP to Davin. Then smile as the camera leads to him and Davin.
Both took a lot of selfies. They started to stop when the order was already on their table.
'Maybe this meeting was my last meeting and Henry's brother's. Father must have sent out guards to look for my whereabouts, and they must be around me right now, watching my every move, and then reporting everything to my Dad and my mother!' Inner Davin.
"Davin, eat! Don't daydream like that" Henry said, touching the back of Davin's hand.
Davin could only smile stiffly. He began scooping the food in front of him, trying to swallow everything with his mind floating everywhere.
* * *
Half an hour later.
They were at the high gate of the large Pranata family house. Davin got off Henry's bike, then smiled at the man.
"Thank you, Brother. And I'm sorry, I can't take you in, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I get it." Henry returned Davin's smile with a smile that was no less beautiful.
"Come in, I'll take care of you."
"Be careful, Brother!" shouts Davin as he waves his hand.
The tall black gate suddenly opened. Jessica stood in front of the gate while looking at her daughter who was still smiling happily.
"Davina?"
Davina twisted her body, then ran and immediately hugged Jessica's body. Davin cried as he continued to apologize to Jessica. He also promises to obey all the words of Aldy and Jessica. And will not oppose all their words.
Jessica stroked Davin's head fondly. He removed himself from Davin's arms, then kissed Davin's old forehead.
"Already, Honey....Don't cry anymore, I've forgiven you. Now go in and see your father."
Davin nodded then walked into the main house. He ran up the stairs to his father's office. Davin shaped the door of the room, before long, it opened and revealed the smiling Father to him.
"Dad.....Forgive Davin.....Sorry Dad.." said Davin, hugging Aldy's body tightly. Davin was crying in his father's arms.
"Already, Honey....Mom and Dad have forgiven you.....Don't cry anymore."
"Sorry, Dad."
Aldy smiled and wiped Davin's tears. He is now trying to understand his daughter, his daughter who has the same nature and behavior as himself and Kamila first.
"Dad forgave all your mistakes, baby. Don't leave again, Dad and Mom don't calm down if they're far away from you." Aldy's body again felt the warm embrace of his daughter. Davin is really sorry for all the mistakes he has made over the years. She wanted to be a better girl than she is now.
