Residual Flavour
His egoism Dira

Dave turned his face to the other side. The lower upper teeth are docked with a jaw that looks hardened. Dira's attitude is too aggressive and curbing, making it increasingly uncomfortable.

"Why not bring me here, Dave? I don't mind accompanying you anywhere." Dira immediately stopped his steps and stood beside Deva. Then she smiled at Deva who was also ready to throw her smile at Dira.

"Hi, Dev... I hope today is better than yesterday, yes. Don't be discouraged. Life must go on. As bitter as any reality you face." Dira extended her hand to Deva, her smile was definitely not a smile of friendship.

"Not everything is bitter, it cannot be enjoyed. The proof, many people who choose to drink coffee without sugar. What I'm going through right now is the process of my life's journey. I don't want to miss this part. You think I might be fragile. Not because you're strong, Dir. Because you were never in my position. The one with a smile like you, not necessarily really happy. In my sorrow, may there still be a blessed soul. And in your happiness, may there be no wounds for others."

The smile that had previously expanded on Dira's lips, instantly disappeared. Change Dave who smiles cynically. The gods are silent. Inwardly, he regretted Dira's childish attitude. As a woman who wants to take a man's heart, what Dira-Just does makes her cousin look very sad.

"Eat, yuk! I'm hungry, right." Sashi appeared right behind the Gods, breaking the awkward atmosphere that was going on.

"Come, Dir... Bangs.... " Deva tried to be as normal as possible.

The dining room is not too spacious, it feels crowded to accommodate six people. There were only four dining chairs there.

"Let's be fair, we'll just eat it outside. Let's be more familiar. We enjoy Deva's cooking. It looks really good," exclaimed Sashi, beginning to take a plate and spoon. Then he gave it to the gods. Dira did the same for Dave. But, baby, just ignored. The man chose to take his own cutlery.

"I don't eat, I'm just going to eat my husband." Dira further confirms who he is. But no one cares.

After bringing their own food, they ate together quietly in the living room. Deva sits between Hilda and Sashi. He continued to lower his face, choosing to focus on the rice and side dishes on the plate in front of him. Dira, sitting next to Dave, continues to stare at her future husband with admiration that makes Dave completely lose his appetite.

"Dev, you haven't seen Mr Tino yet? In a moment, he's coming here." Sashi continued to reply using his left hand. While his right hand still grasps the spoon.

Deva just shook her head slowly. He continued to feed the food to his mouth so that the plate in front of him was immediately empty. Deva is very uncomfortable seeing Dave seem very depressed. Several times Deva stole a glance, her ex-lover forcefully swallowed her food without chewing for as long as usual.

What Deva does, is inseparable from the vision of God. The man caught the love that was still so deep in Deva's eyes. That sense mingled with the highlight of suffering which is also still very obvious.

"Dave. I came here because I wanted to invite you to finish our wedding preparations. Because prewed in Bali failed, we just simplify the prewed in the studio. I've arranged everything. This afternoon, can you?" dira asked, without hesitation in front of everyone who was there. It's not really a good time.

Again, the Lord regretted the attitude of his cousin. It seemed, he indeed had to invite Dira to speak from heart to heart. Seeing Dave treating Dira unfairly, obviously made him not accept. However, finding Dira's attitude as it is now-God can understand if Dave who can not accept his cousin easily.

Others clearly felt the uncomfortable atmosphere transmitted by Dave and Dira. From the beginning, Dira did not look very friendly. He had not even greeted Hilda and Sashi at all.

"I'll excuse you to go back first" said Deva as she stood carrying her empty plate. Linger there, just nurturing the wound.

In the back, Deva immediately washed the dishes. Unknowingly, a clear feather drenched the cheek of the owner. Apparently, Deva has not been able to ignore Dave at all. Seeing the man she loved was sad, it really made Deva feel unbearable.

The god finished his meal together with Dave, both of whom wanted to put the plate back. But Sashi offers to bring their plate. God does not refuse, not so with Dave. Who chose to carry his own plate.

Hilda followed Sashi into the kitchen. Deva is seen sitting on a chair facing the dining table. His left hand held a glass of water. Dave pulled the chair next to Deva. Sashi and Hilda exchanged glances, both of them like they were expressing what came to mind without a word. Compact conjecture with remaining sensitivity. Hilda and Sashi agreed to go into the room. Make room for Dave and Deva willingly.

The two people with love were still equally large and deep it fell silent. Well Deva, Dave's maapan, keep his head down. Thousands of words came to pass, none of which could be thrown. As if mute, the two chose to state their wistfully in silence.

Meanwhile, in the living room, the Gods hold back Dira who wants to catch up with Dave. The man does not want Dira to continue to do stupidity for the sake of stupidity which even confirms his selfish attitude.

"We have to talk, Dir," said Dewa.

"Not now, Brother. I want to catch up with Dave," Dira refused.

"Dir, I'm disappointed in you. Is this how you love someone? Do you really look like someone who is begging by force? Don't you see in Dave's eyes there's not the least of you? End, Dir. Before your heartache is more severe," said the God with the volume of the voice restrained.

"No! I told you, Lord, don't interfere anymore. It's not as simple as you think. Because Dave is an o----," Dira doesn't so continue. Realized, his cousin's brother had never known the heavy story he had experienced before.

"Who's Dave? Why don't you continue?" god Search.

Dira was silent for a moment. If you explain everything, it will make things easier. But Dira was afraid, even he who was not strong. It may be true what the psychiatrist who handled it suggested. Going to the same place with Dave, maybe is a way to try immediately.

At a time when the Gods are still trying to open Dira's mind. It's different from what happened to Dave and Deva. Both are still in the same position.

"Dev..," call Dave with a voice so soft.
