Take Me To Your Heart
Chapter 87 - The Arrival of Devan

Aunt Goddess was so agitated in her room. He even bit his thumb so much that he trembled. He had a bad feeling in his heart. I don't know what, he doesn't understand.

The sound of his apartment bell, kept ringing loudly and repeatedly. It turned out that his uneasiness was because it seemed like the owner of his rental apartment would come to collect the rent for next month.

"Oh, how is this? I don't have the money to extend it. If I get out of here, where should I stay? I don't want to be the same as I used to be in the streets."

While the sound of the bell in front, it continued to repeat itself. Aunt Goddess until frightened. In the end, Auntie Dewi opened the door.

"It was not for a long time" said the owner.

"I was in the shower so I didn't hear" his alibi, but he was intentional.

"Oh yeah?"

Aunt Goddess nodded.

"I came here just to ask for certainty. You want to extend the lease or move."

"I want to extend, but can the money be paid at the end of the month?"

"Honey alone, here is not a cheap contract, but an elite apartment, where there are people who pay at the end of the month. The tenants here always pay on time. If you can't afford it don't have to rent in expensive places! Get out of my apartment! There are still many other tenants who want to live here!" angry with the owner.

"I beg Mba, I'll pay you."

"No, no, just pack your things. I'll be advertising soon if this apartment's empty!"

"Mba, help me please!" said Aunt Goddess with pleading.

"If you need help, you come to the wrong person.I'm not that good. Quickly pack up, I'll give you an hour to get out of this apartment!"

The goddess Aunt went inside. He immediately packed his things. There are no more wealth left. It was just clothes he had brought. Finished, he came out of the apartment while pulling his suitcase.

After that, the apartment owner left and Aunt Dewi also left from there. He really doesn't know where to go. Family has no. The treasure has no. Even people only looked at her cynically when meeting on the street.

Devan visits Regan's family home because he gets word from Grace that Renatta has been in an accident. He was really worried about his friend. Fortunately, when it comes, Devan is well received by Mommy Jessie.

"Natta's friend, huh?" ask Mommy Jessie.

"Yes aunty" replied Devan.

But Mommy Jessie was like a familiar with this man's face. I think he's seen it before.

"Have we met before? Your face is familiar."

"I'm Amanda's ex-husband, Auntie. It's natural that Auntie feels familiar, maybe Auntie has seen me with Amanda in person or from a photo."

"Ah, right, Auntie never saw it from the photo. Please sit down first. Auntie's gonna call Natta first."

Devan sat there waiting for Renatta's presence. A few minutes later, Renatta came with his cane assisted by Mommy Jessie.

"What are you talking about, what do you want to drink?"

"Aunty, as long as it's not a hassle."

"okay."

Mommy Jessie leaves from there, leaving Devan and Renatta in the living room.

Devan continued to look at Renatta's leg which was still in the cast.

"I'm really concerned about your situation Nat, it feels like trials keep coming and changing to you."

Renatta sighed before responding to Devan's words.

"How else, it seems like my way of life is like this. I have to accept and live it well."

"I know, you're a strong woman, but it's too cruel, Nat."

"Then what should I do? Blaming God for the destiny He made for me? Don't you?"

Devan remained silent. What Renatta said is true.

The waiter came to give me food and drinks.

"Thank you Bi" said Devan. The waiter nodded.

Renatta opened the topic again by apologizing to Devan.

"I'm sorry for all the trouble in your life, Dev."

Devan's confused. Because he did not understand the direction of Renatta's conversation.

"Your failed marriage, all that, Amanda's plan. She used to know that I liked you, so she wanted to make me suffer by putting you by her side. When I got close to Regan, Amanda threw a tantrum again, wanting to take Regan again. Until you finally got divorced. That's all Amanda did to get revenge on me. I really feel guilty, have brought you who know nothing."

Devan is surprised to hear all of Renatta's words, but he realizes that Amanda never loved him. Especially during their marriage, Regan continues to be the one Amanda always talks about.

"It's not all your fault Nat. It was all my choice. I am just a fool. Though I already know who made you continue to feel guilty to Regan first. But I still love him. This has all become my way of life. It's not your fault, Nat. Don't apologize for mistakes you didn't make."

"So Dev, I feel guilty about this. Because you were taken."

"It's the way it is so Nat. Besides, now I'm living well without him" said Devan, wanting to make Renatta feel no more guilt.

Unfortunately, Renatta knows that Devan has not fully recovered. It may look fine, but the glare of the eye, clearly shows that Devan is not okay.

"Did you know Amanda was in jail?" ask Renatta.

Devan nodded.

"Aren't you planning to meet him?"

Devan shrugged his shoulders not knowing. It felt like he was lazy to meet people who had made wounds in his life and heart.

"How are you?"

"I want to meet him, and listen to all the hate he has for me. But maybe later after I'm cured."

Devan nodded.

"Say, this accident was intentional, and then has the culprit been found?"

Renatta.

"I haven't heard any more news from Regan. Maybe he's taking care of it."

"Ah, so."

Tap tap tap.

The sound of footsteps could be heard walking closer to the living room. Regan appears with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Why did you come here?" ask her with ketus and sharp eye glare.

"Check at Natta" Devan replied.

"Back home!" drive Regan.

Instead of being angry, Devan smiled. He knew Regan was jealous of him. Regan must have known that Renatta had loved her. But he is happy that Renatta has earned his heartfelt love from Regan.

"Not to be jealous, Natta and I are just friends."

Regan doesn't care about it, she keeps staring dislike at Devan.

"It turns out to be true, yes, hate the same love is a very thin difference. I remember very well that you hated Renatta very much. But, see now? You become possessive of him. Like fear of losing him. I hope you're consistent and never hurt her."

"But! That's a lot to say!"

Not wanting the two to keep fighting, Renatta asked Regan to sit next to him.

"Why there? I should be sitting between the two of you" he said, not wanting Renatta to get close to Devan.

"Gee! Mommy pisses me off, why let this guy into the house," he's upset again.

"Don't say much Re, just sit still."

Regan complies with Renatta's words and instead shows his spoiled attitude to Renatta by leaning his head against Renatta. He did that, to drive Devan away from his house.

Devan was just shaking his head. It's like he didn't see the Regan he knew. Regan, who is usually gluttonous and looks to hate Renatta, is now spoiled.

"Very unpredictable. Then I say yes Nat. I'll come back sometime."

"God! Don't come again! Because the door of this house is closed to you!" ketus Regan's.

"Don't say that" Renatta said.

Regan snorted.

Devan was smiling. Devan stood up from his seat. Before leaving he said his words.

"I hope you will always be with Renatta under any circumstances. Always trust him and never hurt him."

"Curtain! Don't you tell me I'll do it."

Devan was completely gone from the presence of the two. Renatta looked at Regan cynically.

"It turns out you're jealous."

"Jealousy is a sign of love, Nat. So natural."

"Yes I know, but can't you be a little good to Devan? He came to see, not to find trouble."

"Yes, yeah, yeah, I'm still pissed at him."

"Next time don't do it again."

"Hm" he answered lazily.

"Why did you get out of your study, instead of having a lot of work?"

"How can I possibly be at work, knowing that my future wife is talking to another man? Think about it."

Renatta understood and then rubbed Regan's head slowly.

"I've said it before. Want as many stupid men as you can in this world, you're still my stupid man of choice."

"Why don't I like hearing it?" regan.

"Not to be heard if you don't like."

Regan grunts annoyed. Though he wants Renatta to say the word love more romantic.

"Basic is insensitive" muttered Regan.
