Residual Flavour
Tim who?

"It's my risk, brother. It's too soon if I demand that Dave forget Deva. Maybe all this time my way was wrong. Instead of getting close, Dave's getting away from me." Dira rubbed his wet eyes and cheeks. Then stand equalized his position with the position of the God who was staring towards the open sea.

"Dir, end your relationship. Before it's too late. You guys are still fiancees, it's very possible to back off. He's not the right guy. He does not deserve to make you his wife. A traitor deserves to be with a traitor too."

"Dave's not a traitor, brother. Dave and Deva are innocent. They didn't hurt me! Please Lord, do not interfere. Brother will never understand, because brother himself is also unfaithful to one heart. Dave is even better than Brother" Dira said.

Dira's words were like a slap to God. The impression displayed all along, clearly implied how don juan was a God. Embrace, rub the waist, and kiss the cheeks of women at will. Though, behind what is seen, God is closing and fortifying himself so as not to be tied to a relationship. Of course women think many times if close to him. That said, God is avoiding commitment. Four years of relationship with Debora, then run aground due to a fairly mature mutual agreement. Making God choose does not start an uncertain relationship. Just dating, not the goal.

"I beg you, brother don't look at cheap girl Deva. I am more cheap. I made their relationship what it is now."

The gods increasingly do not understand the thought of Dira or the story behind the relationship between Dira, Dave and Deva. He could not guess at all. But his curiosity is so great. As an older brother, he would certainly not let his cousin be sad and hurt.

"Say! What reason could make me accept this situation. Don't let me take any hard action, so you can get away from a cowardly man like your fiance." The intonation of the Gods was still very firm.

"I asked Papa to match me to Dave, Brother."

"But why, Dira? Why are you acting like only Dave-men are left on this earth? Where's your pride, Dir? You are beautiful, well-educated, and your career as a doctor is also good. Without being betrothed, many men are willing to make you a wife. I don't understand your way of mind at all." The god rubbed his face violently.

"There's something I'm not ready to tell my sister. Trust me, Dave is a good and loyal man. Maybe now that loyalty is still being given to Deva. But I'm sure, someday, Dave will give it to me. We all need time, and maybe I should have started getting used to the hurt and disappointment. Happiness must be fought for. Bismillah.I am ready to do my best. Dave is my only dream. Without Dave, I might not be in this world right now." Dira clasped the hand of the God with full tenderness.

The god shook his head with the corners of his lips slightly pulled up so cynically. To him, it all sounds absurd. People should live in search of happiness, not even put up a body to be the target of suffering. Obsession or blind love, God can no longer judge what Dira really feels.

"Okay, I won't interfere anymore. But never complain and cry in front of me. If that happens, it doesn't matter who the real traitor is. It's you I'll protect." The god walked first to leave Dira.

At the same time, Deva slapped her face on the pillow. His shoulders seemed to move up and down along with the sobs that were no longer under control. Condemn the stupidity and generosity that so resignedly received a touch of Dave.

The woman hit the bed with emotion. Disappointment in yourself is much more painful than when you have to be disappointed with others. Deva's hand movements weakened further, she continued to stand aside in between her sobs. Remind yourself not to drown yourself in grief.

Under the same roof, but in a different place, Dira and Dave appear to be looking at each other in a different 180-degree way. Dira's gaze clearly implied such deep love. While Dave, that gaze seemed cold and indifferent.

"Dave, I'm sorry, for bringing my cousin's brother into our trouble" said Dira, softly without compassion.

"It doesn't matter to me, Dir. What he wants to insult me like, I don't care. Being beaten until I bleed I won't bother about it. Just do not despise and bring Deva," said Dave, firm and sharp.

Dira takes a deep breath, then exhales slowly, slightly dampening themselves so as not to get carried away with emotions.

"Whatever! Consider me whatever you want. What you wish for, is clearly different from what I have in mind. Without preempting God's will, I know exactly who I have set my mind to." Dave paused his speech for a moment, receiving a call that went into his phone. Talk for a while, then put the phone back in his pocket.

"If you want to go back to the hotel now, we can be together. But if you still want to be here, please go back to the hotel by yourself." Dave walked straight to the car from the hotel where he was staying.

Dira also immediately followed the footsteps of her future husband. This is one of the things that makes Dira sure, forcing Dave to be her husband is the right choice. Even if the man doesn't love him, Dave still cares and doesn't just ignore Dira.

"Dave hasn't changed much. But why doesn't he recognize me in the least?" inner Dira.

The long night of tension has passed. No matter which heart wishes the darkness to last longer, in fact, the dawn of the morning is waiting for the living to begin the day. Night is a good time to hide tired souls. Sunyinya, momentarily able to make the eyes sleep. Completely slumbering or just pretending to be closed-feeling the noise of the soul without fear of being disturbed.

After breakfast together, all employees of the ring one from all branches prepare to go to one of the tourist destinations that is a paradise of games and water sports such as Flyboard, Banana boat, sea walker, parasailing, and so on, Rolling donuts, flying fish, and many others. Where else if not in Tanjung Benoa.

Arriving at the destination location, all employees change into comfortable clothes to enjoy various sports and water games. For starters, they will show a defense battle over a banana boat towed by jetski.

"OK, what we call his name, immediately lined up to the back as per the call. A team consists of six people. The team has been determined by the staffing division of the head office. So it can't be contested and there shouldn't be any member exchanges." One of the crew event organizers who take care of the team building this time, began to provide cues.

The god who was standing a bit far away from Deva, from earlier was still stealing glances. Black glasses are worn, making him free to glance without fear of being discovered.

Deva herself doesn't seem to care. Last night's events, though painful, didn't make him daunted to face off against a God.

Three teams have been formed, leaving two more teams. Deva without burden just waiting for his name to be called. Occasionally he chimed in Ngakan and one of the branch heads from Bandung who began to get familiar with him.

"Basic teaser," swearing God in the heart.

Dira's vague explanation, and Deva's indifferent attitude to him, still make the mind of God in the dominance of negative thoughts will figure his personal assistant.

"Deva, Ngakan, Glen, Ode, Yoga, De--," the EO crew named Nando abruptly halted the division of the team. Suddenly something irreverent entered into one of his eyes.

The god hid his smile which represented complacency. This is what is expected. He believes he and Deva will be a team together. Really he wants to build a moment that can make Dave think again because it has greatly underestimated him.

"Sorry again, yes .... " Another crew replaced Nando. The god waited while smiling at the crazy ideas that came to his mind.
