Residual Flavour
Dave's Hope for the Gods

"Huh? Meanin?" Dave asked back with great astonishment. Plus, when his eyes noticed the index finger of God right in the middle of the basin, between two membranes of boneless flesh on his phantom.

"This?" The god still pointed at the passage with quite high curiosity.

"If you really want to know, a piece of marriage, Wa." Dave shook his head while sitting on his swivel chair of greatness.

"There is a reason to get married just because you want to know such a form. You just exist. Nevermind! Let's talk about more important." The god took his hand away from the object and sat down on the chair in front of Dave's desk.

"Live it, Wa. An hour away, I've got an operation schedule." Nothing yet, Dave has warned of the duration of their conversation.

"So here, Mr. Dermawan is willing to become a justice collaboration in the case of Mr. Amar. From the conversation I had with Deborah earlier this morning, it seemed that she had little evidence that could serve as the basis for a complaint to the court. At the very least, a review of this case can be granted. My purpose here is to ask for your help to find other evidence," God said so straightforwardly.

"Before you came, I had intended to find out about Papa Amar's case, Wa. Therefore, I decided to stay at Dira's house. A little talk with my mom. I'm sure, Mr. Rudi is the brains of the case. He must have a point of weakness. There is no perfect crime. It is time for the carcass to be snatched up by the public. No matter who I'm dealing with, justice for Papa Amar, must be fought for." Dave was so emotional when he said it.

How not? The people who were in the vortex of the Amar case, turned out to be the people closest to him. The anger and disappointment of Dave, clearly focused fully on the figure of Agas. The actions of his adoptive father, if it is proven, will really not be forgiven. The person who is considered a helper, it turns out that pushed Amar to the brink of injustice.

"Be careful, Wa. I trust Deva's safety to you. If this case is reopened, many parties with their own interests will feel threatened by its position. Make sure Deva is safe. You love her, don't you? Deva is very good. Although it takes a struggle to get it, it will be comparable to the happiness you will get later."

Dave and the gods looked at each other. Both are reading their minds. One thing in common, but not spoken, both Dave and Dewa compact want to give their best to Deva.

"Wa, I wish you were a match with Deva. At least, I know you'll take good care of him. And for sure, your mom really likes Deva. There will be no one else or agreement to separate you. I'll pray for your togetherness." Dave seemed earnest when he said it. Although the eyes were dewy and the voice slightly shook, however, it was clearly implied that the man was trying to be sincere.

"I have to make peace with the situation, Wa. If I wish I could get divorced with Dira soon. I can't possibly get close to Deva anymore. I feel unworthy of Deva. If it's true that my father was involved, I really don't have the courage to look at him anymore. I'm resigned to being hated," Dave added.

"I think, Deva is quite mature and wise to respond to something. What your father did is not your responsibility at all. Obviously it's out of your control, Dave. After all, our relationship is not as deep as you have in mind. I'm looking after Deva, because of my mama. Not love, Dave ." The gods are still trying to give up for various reasons.

"Don't be too hard on your heart, Wa. Do not let you regret if there is another man who approached Deva. As far as I'm concerned, Deva's upperclassman, who used to be close to her, has just returned home from London, now that guy's on duty here. She's single and a doctor." Dave smiled smirkingly at the end of the sentence.

Dave felt himself to be so hypocritical. How not? While his heart is still intact to love Deva, Dave instead supports others to establish a relationship with his beloved woman. However, somehow he felt more willing if the God who was beside Deva than other figures.

On the other hand, Rudi is now with Dira to see an ophthalmologist who has examined Nina's condition intensively. The father and son's heart were both pounding waiting for information from the doctor. Because until now, Nina could not see anything around her, all that was visible in front of her was a wisp of gray clouds that were so dense. Even just to receive light stimulation was not the woman's power.

"So this is it, sir ... Ms ... The condition of the cornea of the patient's eye, suffered quite severe damage. Glass flakes that had hit the inside of the eye, apparently causing nerve damage that is very fatal. According to the results of our examination, it can be said, Ms. Nina will experience permanent blindness. That means, there is no possibility from the medical side to restore the patient's eye function to return to normal. He can only see, if there is a corneal donor for him," explained the doctor named Prayoga clearly and straightforwardly.

"No way! Do the check again. Use more sophisticated tools or anything to make sure what the doctor says is true" Rudi said.

"Make what, Pa? Let's take Mama to a hospital abroad. The doctor here is clearly wrong. They are just lazy to look for more details of other possibilities. Permanent blindness is too early. This diagnosis needs to be reassured by the views of some of the more powerful doctors. If necessary, find the best professor. Dira doesn't believe in the credibility of doctors here at all." Dira humbled the doctor who was in front of him, without the slightest burden.

"Please, Mr ... Ms ... It is very natural that the patient's family wants to do a re-examination. We don't mind at all. God willing, our examination results are very accurate. Our professionalism need not be doubted. As per the doctor's oath, patient safety and healing are paramount. If our credibility in your eyes is still lacking, then please just do an examination at another hospital." The doctor concluded their conversation that afternoon.

Dira and Rudi left the doctor's room with a face full of annoyance. These two people, it is not unusual to involve God's intervention in every case. When something that is not in line with expectations happens, only coarse curses and curses are uttered.

At the same time, at a food court in one of the shopping centers not far from the Diamond Corp office is located. Deva, along with Sashi and Hilda, were eating their lunch plate. As usual, when two women from the club of Gods who were not clear fate was joined by Deva, Deva, there is no other interesting conversation for the two other than to wonder about the club chairman who never bothered them again.

"Dev, Mr. Ewa why the hell? How rarely does he get together again." Sashi asked as he chewed on the small amount of food in his mouth. The sound that is heard becomes not very clear.

"Yes. There must be something. Diana and Dara also rarely chat with Mr. Ewa," said Sashi.

"Eh speaking of Diana. I feel sorry for him. Lately, he's been ignored as much as his sugar eyed. Yesterday, he even sold branded bags for daily living expenses." Hilda responded to Sashi.

Deva chose to be a good listener. He also ignores Sashi's question which is certainly very curious about his Pak Ewa.

"Eh, I'm going to the toilet for a bit" Deva said to her two friends.

The woman walked straight to the toilet on the floor. Entering the somewhat quiet passageway, Deva sensed that something was amiss. It seemed, there was someone else following his footsteps.
