Residual Flavour
Last Greetings

"Maybe this is not the right time. Not knowing whose heart belongs to whom. I'm not asking you to answer now. Think about it carefully. Talk of love, maybe too far from your imagination. Dev's...." God said it really. His eyes were so deep and warm.

Deva began to understand the direction of the Gods talk. The woman immediately held her own chest. Verily Deva was not ready to hear the expression of feelings from anyone at this time. Never mind to reply, just answer Deva probably won't be able to.

"I hope you are the woman God created to accompany my days until I die. Certainly not just as a boss and assistant. I want us to be more than that. Maybe I'm not very good at stringing words, but I assure you, my desire is earnest. I want you to be my wife, Dev."

Deva took a deep breath. The straightforward words of the God without a stale ado can really make his mind instantly rowdy. The voice of God is ringing, but Dave's sad face is flashed. The woman's lips were tightly closed. All this time, either he is insensitive or the heart is numb. To the extent that Deva was not aware, behind all the goodness and attention of God turned out to save more flavor to him.

"Please don't rush to refuse. There's still plenty of time to give me a chance so I can convince you that I'm not joking. Just know how I feel, don't change your attitude." The god extended the blue sapphire box to Deva. "Save this. If someday you're ready to accept me, just use something that's in there. If you refuse me, give it to my mother. Tell Mama I leave the gift to her. I'll take it again when I fall in love again" he added.

Deva's getting flustered. Even the woman had not received the box given by God. Deva felt her entire body stiff as a mannequin. There was no reason for him to reject all the goodness of God. In fact, these past few months, that man has always been there for her. Beyond the arrogant and arrogant attitude that is sometimes excessive, Deva must recognize the perfect figure as a child and also as a friend. However, to undergo a serious relationship, it is clear that the word good is not enough.

Realizing Deva's reaction, the God stood around the table and approached the woman who had disturbed her peace of mind. He sat next to Deva. Grabbed Deva one hand and clutched the box there.

"I'm not forcing you to say what I want. Don't feel burdened to repay. We're walking as usual." The god slid one of his eyeballs. Hope the situation melts a little.

Deva forced a slight smile. What the gods say is quite acceptable. There was no need to answer the man's statement as soon as possible, making Deva feel a little relieved and comfortable.

"I'll keep it, sir." Deva said it in a soft voice while receiving the God-given box and directly putting it in the bag.

The god nodded his head while giving a loving look. Anyone who saw the way the Gods were staring at Deva at this moment, would definitely understand that the man was falling for the figure beside him.

After waiting for Deva to finish the drink and pay the billing order, the god immediately invited Deva to leave the restaurant. There was no disappointment in the look on the face of Deswita's favorite son, long before tonight, God had indeed prepared himself to be rejected or did not receive an answer. Especially when Deva and Dave had met, his belief in not being accepted was getting bigger.

"Bee...." Again the voice of the call stopped Deva's steps. Even this time also stopped the steps of the God who was about to open the car door for Deva.

"Yes, Bang." Deva answered softly while bowing her face. Obviously he was avoiding Dave's eyes.

"Sorry, Wa. May I speak to Deva for a moment. Just a minute," pinta Dave.

"Wait here for a second, Bee." After saying that Dave ran a small car to the parking lot of his car which was only a few meters away from where they are now.

Deva also just nodded small. He leaned his back against the door of the God car that was still tightly closed. What a night of stirring hearts and minds.

Not long after, Dave was back in front of Deva with something that was still hidden behind his back. Not to mention, the man's eyes already looked so sad.

"I'm actually planning to see you tonight or at least tomorrow morning before I leave. It just so happens that we meet here." Dave started the conversation.

Deva budging. Again, he did not know how and what to say. One thing is for sure, he should try not to cry in front of Dave.

"I'm saying goodbye, Bee. I hope someday we meet again under different circumstances. I am happy, and you are the same. Sorry for leaving such an incredible wound in your life. Sorry if I was this coward. Leaving you without making sure your wounds have recovered or not." Dave paused his sentence for a moment. Swallowed his own spit with great difficulty.

"Me and my heart have agreed to leave. No longer a part of you, it doesn't make me stop thinking about you. Thank you for making me such a lucky man to have accompanied such a great woman like you."

Deva turned her face. His power almost collapsed. If only he had not hurriedly stared at the stars in the sky arrogantly, the clear fur would have already fallen soaking down his smooth cheeks.

The god bit his own lower lip. He heard what Dave said. Despite not being able to see Deva's expression, God could already imagine how excited the heart of the woman he loved was right now.

"On the journey of my time, you are the name I always pronounce. Farewell, it doesn't stop me from expecting the best thing to happen in your life." Dave pulled out something that had been hidden behind his back. A box made of recycled paper is very beautiful. Its size is no more than twenty inches square meters and its lid is almost full decorated by dried edelweiss flowers.

"Some people, destined to love each other without having to have each other. We might be one of them. At the end of the journey, at least we don't hate each other. You will never be replaced, although later maybe I am with another, and you are the same, let the rest of this taste remain." Dave grabs Deva's hand and leads her to receive a gift box from her.

"Thank you for being this short in my life. I used to wish our story forever, but what the forces of destiny have set us not to the goal."

Deva was no longer able to withstand the roar of tears. His hand was clearly shaking when Dave started touching his hand earlier. His strength had not only faltered, but had already collapsed. The previous breakup didn't feel as painful now. Even when he found out Dave was married, his heart was not this bright. In the past Deva was still able to remind his heart to be sincere.

"Lately I have always prayed that God would not give me the fear of loss. I kept hoping that God would lead me to let go without regret. Bee... May I hold you for a moment?"
