DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
part 142's
Devan pov's.
I swallowed with difficulty. Anye said Surya's father is the best father lovingly, but why do I feel so scared when I'm alone with him now? It felt like this place turned into a creepy atmosphere, like a battlefield with many casualties scattered. I was afraid, like there were thousands of arrows ready to be tethered when capturing the sharp gaze of Surya's father.
"Sit down!" his baritone voice sounded eerie among the quiet workspaces filled with these thick books. Sometimes I give myself to look at my dad. His eyes were exactly like Anye's.
I approached and sat in front of him. What courage have I gathered all this time. Beg it!!
Dad opened his desk drawer. Take something out of there in the form of sheets, maybe it is valuable paper. Read it without a sound.
Seconds by second it felt like a long time for me. My chest beats faster, waiting for what you're going to talk about becomes a scary and thrilling thing. How did Dad respond to me? Will you accept me who hurt his daughter's feelings?
Finished with paper in his hand. Dad pulled out a black white box. Chess box?
"Can you play chess?" ask dad. I nodded as I answered yes with stammering, fear.
We prepare our own pawns. Once all the pawns are in place, the father advances first. It feels thrilling, I can only play chess, not expert.
A few minutes played and I lost, lost some of the mainstay pawns. Ah embarrassing! I should have meant it in this game with Seno. At least I should have learned to do every strategy. Seno forgive me for always mocking you and never being serious in this game.
"I know what you mean by coming here!"
Tak. One warrior pawn advanced, ready to devour my horse pawn.
"I'm sorry if our arrival is sudden, father."
"Master! Call me like everyone else, big sir!" said cold.
I felt like a helium balloon that had flown for a few days, then deflated and slowly descended to the ground.
"Yes, sir! Please excuse us if we arrive unannounced!" I said, cold sweat coming out of the pores of my skin. I move the horse pawn away, lest I lose another precious pawn that is only a few.
"Anye is my most precious treasure! You ever hurt her, I can't hand her over again with you!" dad's moving the other pawns.
I let out a long sigh, emboldened myself, while moving my pawns to threaten the whereabouts of his ministers. "Sorry sir. But Anye is still my wife. It's my duty to bring her back to my side!" steady say.
Father moved the fort until it blocked my path.
"But you can't protect him properly."
I was dying to talk that I was blocking bullets for his daughter, but I didn't do it.
"I'm sorry, sir. Everything is beyond my power. Ever since I lost it all, I've been helpless. It was all my fault from the start!" my regrets.
Dad moved another chess piece.
"You know you're helpless, and you want him back?" It felt like the words were piercing my chest to the heart.
Jamb.
"And you're hoping to bring my granddaughter along?"
Jamb.
Jamb.
"What if you can't keep both of them the same as you did a while ago?" father asked, his tone now freezing me. Thousands of invisible arrows pierced my heart repeatedly.
"Supreme!" dad's words made me realize. I'm losing. Not only have I lost the game of chess, but I have also been defeated in this life!
I stood up and walked towards the open window. Both of his hands were clutched behind his tall authoritative body.
"Rethink what you want to do!" said father. I know the meaning of this father's words. I stood up and said goodbye to my father, then walked towards the door.
Devan pov end's.
