When school comes home. Nanda had gone home first with his matic motorbike, he went home with Nayara because their house was in the same direction. Sofia and I were still standing in front of the gate, we had a light chat occasionally laughing. Edgar's white car stopped.
"Anye darling. Come home Ed yuk!" haggle Ed from behind the wheel.
"Yes Nye, instead of taking the bus, mending comes with us. Ed Anterin" said Sofia.
"No need. My house is also in opposite directions. I want to go to the bookstore first."
"Aren't you going to be together?" Sofia asked, I nodded steadily. "Yes, if we go first. Be careful if there's something evil in here, you broke his hand!"
"Ready!!" I saw Edgar swinging in horror behind the wheel.
"Why bang?" ask me to bend a little. Edgar must still remember the events of the past.
"No! hehe. Yes, we're first. Bye, pretty!" the car drove too. I was alone and started walking towards the stop.
Half an hour waiting. Buses have not passed, while angkot is always full. And a taxi. ah too expensive to fill my pockets.
I checked my social media, commented on some other people's status. Smile at yourself when you see something funny.
"Funny huh?" ask someone sitting next to me.
"Yes" I said without looking. I still put my hand on the screen.
"Let's go home!"
"Ah bis already dat.." I was surprised when I turned to the side. I don't know since when Devan was next to me.
"not bus. But use my car!"
"No. I'll just take the bus!" I said then returned to my hp.
Devan took my phone and put it in his pocket.
"Devan. Restore it!" I put my hand up. Devan put his hand back in his pocket, but instead of taking my phone. He was just pretending! Then he took out his empty hand and grabbed my hand, then pulled me towards the car.
"Dev I'll just go home by myself." I pulled my hand out. "If you want my phone please take it with you." then I walk back to the stop.
Just two steps I felt like someone was pulling my back bag until I walked backwards.
"I told you I'd take you home!" devan was upset.
"No need! I don't want to trouble my sister-in-law!" I say with emphasis. I took off my bag until Devan stood around holding the bag near his car.
I walked back to the stop.
"Anye! Let me take you home!"
I don't give a shit. It could be dangerous if I'm with Devan. I regretted rejecting Sofia and Edgar's invitation!
I felt Devan's burly hand coiled around my shoulder, and slightly pulled me with his strength. I'm upset. This guy is so stubborn!
I'm taking a breath.
Bugh!!
With a single stomp I moved my left arm elbowing Devan's stomach hard.
"Akhh!!"
Devan grimaced, releasing his hand from my shoulder, half-bending and holding his own stomach.
"Let's!! It hurts." Lirih Devan's. His face looks in pain.
"Felt!" I said and took the bag that was on his shoulder.
The bus has arrived. I was ready to run, but my hand was back in Devan's check. Still with his face of pain he's pulling me harder now. Until it was free.
Devan led me to his car, opened the door and pushed me inside a little.
"Dev but I..."
"Shut up! Or you want me to kiss!!" he said coldly as he put the seat belt in front of my stomach, then closed the door and half ran around in front of his car.
Geez if this is how can I escape him?
Devan's in the steering chair. Then run the car slowly. Iuhhh sucks! I'd rather be brought in a jockeying!
The car stopped somewhere. Devan Apartment.
"Why bring me here? I'm going home!" i, annoyed. Devan approached, our faces less than ten inches away. My chest is pounding. Our eyes are intersecting each other. Devan brought his face closer.
Ah no! What Devan will...
Click!
Devan opened my seat belt.
Geck. Geck.
The window next to me is tapped from the outside. Devan was ready to knock again, I opened the door.
"Let's go in for a second!"
"What the hell is that? I'm going home!" Devan took my hand, closed the car door a little tight and then pulled my hand a little hurriedly towards the elevator.
"I'll drive you home later. But come along for a minute." I just obey. Rejecting Devan's wishes means waking up the sleeping tiger!
Devan pulled out a card and opened the door to his apartment. Back pulled me inside to the pantry. Some food and cake on the table. There are yellow gravy snapper, fried tofu, sambal, and also fried shrimp. In the arrangement of so many ways to look romantic. Not forgetting the candle she just lit.
"This is for me and my fiancee!"
It hurts!
"If you're just gonna say like that don't bring me here! Make what? You want to show off?" my circus is in a high tone. What the fuck he brought me here just wanted to see him pay attention to Mel's sister!
Devan pulled out a chair and sat me there. Then he also pulled up a chair and sat close to me.
"I want to have lunch with you!" honestly I'm confused. Her fiance is Melati's sister!
"You know, all that's been on my mind is you. But you always don't care about me, even this morning you deliberately made me jealous!" Devan began to pick up dishes and scoop out rice and fish with a yellow sauce, fresh as it seemed.
So this morning Devan was just pretending to look at his phone?
"What I like is you Nye! But you don't give me a chance to fix our relationship. Open your mouth!" Devan put a spoon in front of my face. I opened my mouth, good.
"I was blown away last night when I saw you coming down the stairs. You wear anything is always charming, Nye. You are so beautiful!" Devan returned to feed the food into my empty mouth.
"You know. Last night I watched you get engaged to me, exchange rings with me, stand beside me. Not Melati!" Devan's bribing me again. He really didn't give me a chance to talk!
"If only you gave me a chance I wouldn't be engaged to Melati. What I like is you Nye! Not Melati!" Devan again lifted the spoon full of rice towards me. I held his hand, then quickly swallowed the food that was still inside my mouth. Devan keeps the spoon on the plate, then thrusts the glass filled with water. I drank.
"I know!" my spoken.
"Then why did you reject me when I was going to be honest with Melati?"
"I just don't want Mel's sister to kill herself again."
"That's your excuse again?" ask Devan. Just like two days ago when we met and discussed this. Devan just shook his head. "Why do you always think of Melati rather than your own feelings?"
"Because my feelings don't matter!" cuek. I stood up and approached Devan. Devan smiled as I bowed. He closed his eyes. Does he think I'm gonna kiss him? I put my hand in his work coat. Smiling at Devan's longing face. I quickly took my phone from inside his shirt pocket.
"I'm home!" my spoken. Then turning.
"Yes!!" call him. Devan hugged me from behind. Body vibrates. He sobs. Is Devan crying?
"Sorry!"
"Sorry!"
"Udah Dev's. It's wrong that we continue like this. We live each of our lives. Okay?" Devan shakes.
"Please! You've put us in trouble Dev! You should have realized that you now have Mel's sister. Not me anymore!" I let go of Devan's hand.
"At the same time you can not refuse the wishes of your parents right? They don't want to accept me either."
"We can elope Nye!"
You stubborn Devan!
I turned my body. Looking at Devan's wet eyes.
"It's not that easy Dev! And I don't want to!"
"I'm home."
"I'm taking it."
"No, I can go home by myself. Thanks food. It's good." I said and left. Devan looks shrunken the wet corners of his eyes.
I waited for a taxi, it was almost twenty minutes but no one had passed by yet either.
Devan's car stopped right in front of me. The door opens from the inside.
"Get in, I'll drive you home."
I bit my lower lip. Doubtful and unwilling actually.
"Come on!" I finally got into Devan's car.
Along the way we were silent.
