Rey was in her study when Devan stopped by.
"What do you mean you gave Kikan a ride?"
"He was walking along the side of the road when I was about to meet Alex."
Rey wanted to ask more, but what came out of her mouth was just, "And?"
"When I met him, he was already halfway through and his legs were abrasive so badly that he could barely step again."
Rey took a deep breath. "He probably came home on foot from the cafe where we had breakfast yesterday. I told him it was too far away, let alone that he was wearing a sandal"
The shadow makes Rey grimace because it is not hearty. "Did he recognize you ?"
"Live. That's why I'm so hard to ask him to get in my car."
"Why? you don't have a bad relationship with him."
"But you have, and I'm part of the people closest to you"
Rey's role has changed in the eyes of Kikan, from before the object of love is now an enemy. At breakfast the woman was careful not to show her dislike, but she hardly ever looked at Rey. "How did you convince him?"
"I insisted on taking her. I'm not until the heart sees him on foot, in limp."
Rey thinks he's the one who should be pressing for Kikan. Kikan wasn't his responsibility, but it somehow felt that way. "Did he tell you what we met before that ?"
"No. He doesn't talk much."
Then what was Devan's purpose in coming to him? "That's all you want to tell me? That you gave him a ride?"
Devan. "actually no. I wonder if you mind if..."
"What?"
"If I buy him some stuff?"
Rey was fixated for a long time, silent, trying to pay more attention. "What are you talking about? What kind of stuff?"
"Why do you want to do that?"
"Because I feel sorry for her, okay? He has nothing. I don't know how long it's been since you last came to Mom's house. Lis. But... Doesn't look good. When he no longer needed anything, he simply threw it in the yard. With a start like that, it was difficult for Kikan to rebuild his life. He couldn't have saved up much in prison, not with the money he always sent you. "
Rey shakes her head in disbelief." Since when have you had such affection for my ex-boyfriend? "
" Ever since I saw him scratched in the street, and he hesitated - hesitating to accept a very small favor, for fear that the favor turned into another blow to his face. He reminds me of the animals that are being abused. Try to avoid people or stay away from them. "
" You learned all that, with just one meeting?"
" don't know... "
" Even after getting in the car, he held the door. It looked like he was ready to jump out even when I raised my hand to scratch. The road that must be passed later is difficult, especially in this city. But he challenged those who denounced him, for the sake of his son. It takes guts... I want to not be amazed. "
" Rey felt the same admiration, but he hated to admit it, hated to admit that he would go anywhere, except to return to this City, if he was in the position of Kikan. Not many people can stand up to such great negative sentiments.
"He was truly noble, willing to face this kind of unfortunate situation."
Your Majesty is not the word Rey ever uttered when it comes to Kikan. "You're serious?"
"I don't want to argue if he's really Rey's killer. I think it's the past. Who could say what he was thinking when he did what he did? And for sure, according to the law, he has already paid the debt to the community. Seventeen years is a long time, and I'm one of those who's ready to let him move on. "
Rey rubbed her hands against her face. If what Kikan said in court, and what he said at breakfast, about the friend who took the steering wheel was true. He wasn't even responsible for the murder. And if to be honest, Devan's offer to help Kikan annoyed him for some other reason. Reasons he didn't want to think about seriously. "What do you want to buy him?"
"New comfortable shoes, if he has to walk where. Some basic needs. Not much"
Rey grimaces dislikes, according to him Devan is too caring, even though his intentions are good. Rey herself did not understand why she was acting this way. "He won't accept alms, especially from me, or one of my friends."
"I plan not to give him another choice"
"How are you gonna do it?"
"I'm going to buy an item and will leave it at the door" Devan thought his idea was quite brilliant
