"Keep me how? You guys are right." The god turned to the left right with a confused expression. Only once did he set foot in this place. With his eyes open, the road covered with grass, the route is so confusing, especially with his eyes closed like today.
"Who do the three of us trust?" ask Dave.
The god shook his head, "There is no one, there are only five pillars of faith. No one believes in any of them."
"It's not so, Wa. Don't you need our help getting to the parking lot?" grunts Dave.
Deva and Debora exchanged looks. Both then smiled thinly. Like sharing power with each other. This game was deliberately made with a purpose. It was a coincidence that the loser was a God. In the plan, Dave is expected to lose.
"Wa ...," call Dave, remind God to make a decision immediately.
"You alone, Dave," God finally broke up.
Deva and Debora code Dave to take the God of the road first. The atmosphere is getting closer to the afternoon even more crowded make not a few pairs of eyes that make Dave and God as the center of attention.
Dave continued to direct the footsteps of God while holding one of the man's hands. Several times the God was seen slipping due to the mound of land he stepped on.
"Dave, people must have seen me a lot, right?" The god asked while inviting his sense of hearing to work optimally to capture the sounds around him. Although the eyes of the Gods were closed, it could clearly feel the crowd of visitors there.
"They just look. Are there any people who want to help you walk? They're just busy wondering why you're walking around with your eyes closed like this."
Dave's words make God stop his steps. The man only realized what he was doing at the moment was the worst possibility he would experience some time in the future if his eye condition continued to worsen.
"Dave, let me walk on my own," the God broke up all of a sudden.
"It's too crowded, Wa," Dave recalled.
"You walk in front of me."
Dave turned to Deva as if asking for approval. A small nod in lieu of an answer was made by the woman he loved so much.
The god slowly begins his steps, along with Dave's footsteps being deliberately stomped so that the God can feel his movements. Deva and Debora followed behind with misgivings. The path they were currently traveling through, was clearly not easy to pass through with their eyes closed. Especially without anyone's help.
Deva started to blame herself. The idea this time, may be too exaggerated and improperly done. Just now Deva wanted to turn her face to the other side because she could not see the God, the man's body seemed a little staggered and almost lost its balance due to tripping over a used drink bottle that was thrown away just like that. Deva swiftly widened her steps, then she immediately helped to support the body of the Deity with all her might.
"Let me alone, Dev. Let me fall. You guys are really good. Thank you for reminding me that one day I will be blind like this." The god says it while upholding his body position and lowering Deva's hand from his hip.
Again they became the center of attention because of the voice of the Gods that quite seized the attention of visitors who happened to be around them.
"From now on I have to learn to do things without looking, right?"
Dave approached the gods as well as Debora. They took turns to convince the man not to give up. Even if the worst was likely to happen, the three made sure-God would not go through those times alone.
"I don't need your mercy. I'm a God, even if my eyes are closed I can get to my destination without you." The god resumed his path with staggered steps. The man even hit Dave's shoulder.
Deva gives Dave and Deborah the code to let her follow God. Deborah herself could not bear to see the reaction of the man she loved so much that the woman chose to turn around, the body, giving a wide enough stretch of distance so that he could not see or hear Deva's efforts to talk to the Gods this time. Dave is sensitive to circumstances. Choosing to accompany Debora.
"Dear you say? What kind of darling? Don't keep trying to cheer me up, Dev. Wait... has everyone noticed us now?" The god turned his neck to the left and to the right, moving his head as if he could see the surroundings.
"How do their eyes see me, Dev? With a sneering, weird look or what?" The god asked with an irregular breath due to being carried away by emotions.
"It doesn't matter how they see the Father or us. Lord, I'm sorry if our idea is outrageous. We have absolutely no intention of humiliating you in front of anyone. It's stupid to do that." Deva tiptoed in order to untie the scarf that closed the eyes of the God.
"Don't let go, Dev. You're right, before I was completely blind. I have to get used to doing things with my eyes closed." The god again kept Deva's hand away from her head.
"Let me lead the Father." Deva's unyielding attempts to persuade the Gods.
From a distance, Dave stared at the two with a wistful glance. His breath was so deep. No matter how hard he tried to make peace with the situation, he still could not hide the heartache when he saw Deva giving such deep attention to God.
"Can Deva melt the ego, God?" ask Debora to Dave.
"We'll see." Dave gave a smile to Debora.
The god flinched-ignoring the few who passed by him, as well as Deva. Both of them momentarily quiet. A second later a crazy idea flashed through Deva's mind.
"God does not want to be pitied, does he? Then how about we make a mutually beneficial cooperation." Deva said it with a voice made as cheerfully as possible.
"Hmmm...." The gods give a response that is difficult to interpret by Deva.
"Take me and I will be the directions for your step."
Deva's request made the God swallow his saliva with great difficulty. Walking alone is likely to get hit, fall and stumble very large, especially if added to the load on his back. Not to mention later if the loud thumping came unexpectedly - once he and Deva were close together intensely.
"How, Sir? It's mutually beneficial. No pity for you at all" challenged Deva.
"When it falls how?" The god asked innocently.
"We'll get sick and wake up together."
Deva's short but very meaningful answer made the Gods more misbehavior. However, moments later the man finally nodded in agreement. Deva instantly lifted her thumb up while throwing a smile at Dave. All signs are under his control.
"Dave, why do I feel that Deva's gaze on the Gods is not the gaze of love as the opposite sex, yes," Debora squinted her two eyes.
