M34 🥀 : ACT, EV.
The roar of a familiar voice is quite loud, heard when a black helicopter with the D-WIJAYA logo is parked on the helipad of the mansion page. Ev had just walked out the main door of the mansion when the door of that thing opened. A man wearing semi-formal clothes walked out with a crescent moon created on his lips. A bouquet of white Lily flowers does not forget he brought on one hand.
“I’am sorry. Turns out my private jet is still at the airport. Yesterday used mama to Bandung.”
The beautiful woman wearing one of the canal collections from TheStoryOf and combined with Gianvito Rossi heels ‘105’ praline suede smiled as she nodded. Dean didn't bring a private jet like he promised. Given if the iron bird is still at the airport. So, he brought his own personal helicopter.
“Ah, I almost forgot to give you this.”
Ev smiled broadly as he received the bouquet of flowers that were thrust towards him. “These are fresh once.”
“The material is fresh. Just taken from florist.”
“Thank you,” said Ev while inhaling the aroma of the fresh flowers.
The beautiful man nodded while smiling.“You are welcome.” Dean's gaze then turned on the balcony on the second floor, where a pair of soot eyes were observing in silence.
“What are you already? If so, we leave now.”
“I'm ready.”
“Ok. We leave now,” Dean said as he stuck out one hand.
Ev happily accepted the helping hand. Letting the man's big fingers grasp his, channeling warmth. Leads him to an iron object that will soon take them away.
Ev was treated like a queen. Dean really did that. Inside the private helicopter whose selling price ranges US$ 1.5 million. Or almost equivalent to the price of a Lamborghini-branded car, the comfort of the Ev really Dean comes first. Dean's personal helicopter is a Bell 505. The operational cost of this helicopter per hour can reach US$ 1,500 or 20.2 million. The cost does not include the pilot.
In addition to helicopters, the Dean family also has a private jet to support their mobility. Ev also has a private jet. Giving the husband. However, Ev prefers to let the jet be used by the more needy members of the Xander family. Given they often travel, because the flight hours are very high. After all, Darren gave the private jet as a sweetener to their charade when celebrating the 2nd anniversary.
When the helicopter was already in the air, far away from the helipad area, a pair of sharp eyes were unaccustomed to staring at the departure of the object that brought with it the hostess. His hand then quickly moved, connecting the phone call to a number that was at the top of the row on the outgoing call contact. When connected, he immediately expressed his intention to contact someone on the other side.
“Track my wife's whereabouts. Then send people to follow him.”
“….”
“Do not lose track.”
After saying so, Darren severed the phone connection unilaterally. The man's gaze now shifted, staring at the clean whitewashed walls adorned by some framed photos. One of the framed photos was large, printing a picture of a couple of brides. At the end of the picture is scratched writing in the form of the date, month and year of the picture taken. The date they always commemorate as the anniversary of the wedding every year. The same date has actually fallen in the last weeks. However, celebrations to commemorate their 5th anniversary will only take place next week. It will also be carried out in a family manner.
Darren is actually a bit suspicious. Because the anniversary that will be held next week is quite shrouded in mystery. Like something's hidden behind an anniversary shield. However, as far as his mind wandered around, Darren had yet to find a definite path. Not to mention the current closeness between the wife and her rival is increasingly fueling emotions. This problem should not be left for much longer.
This time, Darren admits he cares. He wants Ev, the wife.
A woman who was destined to be her life partner.
🥀🥀
“Hai, I'm coming.”
A warm greeting was given by a beautiful woman who was reviewing the thin smile. A bouquet of lily flowers are white and clean, do not forget he gave.
“Sorry to visit you again. A lot has happened lately.” His smile shrunk, along with the sad arrival on the beautiful face. “I came to ask for permission. I want to break the bond that binds me to her. I can't hold on much longer. Sorry if I was selfish. Do I have to continue to hang on to the side of the man who is completely unable to appreciate my presence? He even has a mistress. I hope you understand my decision. Again, sorry I couldn't be by his side any longer. Our relationship is too toxic.”
Dean standing beside Ev could clearly feel the difficulty Ev was trying to share on the grass-covered mound of soil that was flourishing and well-groomed. His hand held a black umbrella to protect Ev from the blazing sun. After a long time not visiting this place, in the end Ev ventured to return to visit.
Dean knew very well how difficult Ev was to come to this place. The place where the body of someone he loved was buried. Even though many years had passed, Ev still could not forget the dark day where he had to feel a very deep loss. The reason why Ev can survive with Darren for 5 years, even without any sense between them.
Yeah, he's one of the reasons. Darchelle Xender's. As the name means calm, Darchelle is also so. Darren Arysatya Xander's cloning is the reason why Ev has survived so far. The beautiful Darchelle is a calm girl, she said softly, smiling and kind. She is, in fact, the real princess. The favorite daughter of Xander.
Whatever Darchelle wants, a blink of an eye will surely be granted soon. Among Darchelle's lovers, Ev was among them. Since childhood Elle—a small call to Darchelle—had considered Ev as his own brother, as well as Ev who had considered him as his own sister. Darchelle is also the one who originally initiated an arranged marriage between Ev and Darren. It was then made a reality by Ev's grandfather who actually has a promise debt to Darren and Darchelle's grandfather.
Ev has survived because he always remembers Darchelle's last request. Ev is asked to always accompany Darren. Even though Darchelle knows that her brother does not like Ev, but Darchelle believes that Ev is the one her brother really needs as a companion, not another woman.
“I'll pick up my happiness. Even the way I use it later seems selfish. That's all I can do. Hope you understand, Darchelle.”
After saying so, Ev stroked a gravestone bearing the name Darchelle written in gold ink. Unable to prevent, the clear crystal granules escaped from his eyelids. Ev has made a good decision. Preparation for preparation has been made. All are awaiting execution next week.
Assisted by Dean, Dimi, and Deesa. Ev had planned out the biggest decision he dared to take, thinking about the consequences that would later arise. As the plan progresses. Ev believes his decision was the best decision, and the most manageable.
“Neg. This is enough.”
Dean nodded, wiping the sweat on the woman's temple beside him painstakingly. The beautiful woman looked sweaty after enjoying a portion of the legendary chicken penyet their subscription if playing to BSD.
After visiting Darchelle dining which is still in the Jakarta area, they have just left for Tanggerang. And here they are now. Enjoy a portion of the legendary Bu Kris chicken penyet. Actually, the famous restaurant with all-purpose dish started from Surabaya. Then opened a branch in Jakarta, precisely in the Pluit and Fatmawati areas. Then opened another branch in Tanggerang. Nevertheless, Ev only knew this food when often invited Dean to BSD with Deesa.
“You want me to go-jeckin your favorite boba from AEON?” bargain Dean, when you see the spiciness never subsides.
“No need. This is enough,” said Ev while moving a large glass filled with sweet iced tea. “Dimi would be angry if I knew I bought her favorite boba, without her knowledge.”
Dean smiled at it. “How dare he temper you.”
“Dimi dare. proof I often get angry.”
“That means Dimi cares about you, Ev. Anger can sometimes be interpreted as affection, caring, or jealousy.”
“Masa?”
“Iya,” replied Dean straightforwardly as he touched the temple Ev. this time using his own hands, instead of using a tissue. “After this we stop by grandfather's house, want?”
Ev nodded, but a split second later shook his head. “Front week Grandpa will come to Jakarta. Better to see him later. There are many things I have to take care of today.”
“Including meeting lawyer?”
Ev nodded small. His attention was still focused on the iced tea glass in hand. “Dimi has set our schedule today. I'm leaving.”
“You want me to accompany?”
“If you don't mind.”
“Of course not,” replied Dean casually. “Again I also want to make sure everything goes with the plan.”
Ev turned, bringing his gaze towards Dean. “This is my business, Dean. Why are you excited?”
Dean winks his shoulders indifferently. “Maybe because this is your problem, I want to make sure everything is as you see fit.”
Ev was stunned to hear it. Dean Wijaya actually managed to keep him quiet for a few seconds. Until consciousness returned when the man's warm fingers clasped his hands.
“Act, Ev. I will always support your decisions. Even if later you will experience a slump or loss, I will remain by your side to make your shoulders stay firm.”
“Dean...” Ev is out of words.
“I'll always be there for you, Ev. Strengthening you, holding your hand like this, giving you as much power as I can.”
Ev fell silent without being able to utter words. His gaze straightened towards the face of the man who was grasping his hands tightly. Sharing the warmth also supports the system through all its words.
He's the same Dean Wijaya. A sincere figure loved Ev up to this moment. He did not even need to doubt his loyalty. Soul, body, to treasure, he could not spare for Ev. Therefore, in every night that Ev passed without being able to close his eyes, he tried to convince himself. Trying to make peace with the heart, to be willing to accept the existence of a man this sincere.

And thank you very much for readers who always support me, without crowding me with spam around when the update. You sometimes spam so make the mind teroos 🥲
