Devita inhales as much oxygen and then just exhales. He was worried about stating or keeping it. He does not want to because his expression of feelings makes Erick keep Mikayla away from him. Erick who realized Devita's concern spoke up.
" Just say Dev! No need to hide." Erick.
" What if I tell you the truth, brother Erick won't keep me away from Mikayla?" Devita looked at Erick carefully while waiting for his answer.
" No, whatever you're going to say, I guarantee it won't affect your relationship with Mikayla. Some of you took care of him, which I may have kept you away from." Erick made Devita feel relieved.
" really... " Devita paused her speech while looking at Erick. Erick nodded his head as if asking Devita to continue with her words.
" I love you Brother."
Degs...
Devita closed her eyes in embarrassment, she would be so ashamed that until Erick rejected her.
" Since when?" Devita is surprised by Erick's reaction, thinking Erick will scold him or insult him as he did Ayu before.
" I don't know since when I don't know, which is clear this feeling is getting bigger every day. I know if this is wrong, I know I shouldn't have these feelings for a married man like you. But I can't keep holding on to this feeling alone sister. I feel like you should know about my feelings too. No matter if you are going to welcome this feeling or not, I also do not expect a reply from you, Brother, which I clearly feel relieved after expressing the feelings that have been hidden in you. I'm sorry!" Devita lowered her head.
" No need to worry! I'm okay." Erick cuek.
" I'll assume you never told me this." Connect Erick.
Cesss....
As if in sepat sembilu, Devita's heart felt pain. It's better to get a rejection than to get an answer like that from Erick's lips. Devita smiled wryly when she found Erick who was indifferent to her feelings, she continued eating it greedily ignoring Devita who was at war with her mind.
" Maybe after the incident Erick's brother realized his love for mbak Ayu. Moreover, the situation mbak Ayu like this, surely brother Erick more compassionate and more loving him. Even though I am the substitute for Ayu, but still I will only be her shadow. You win, even though you can only be silent, but it turns out you're the winner." Inner Devita pilu.
Unwilling to feel any more pain than this, Devita soon passes from before Erick. Erick just looked at her with a feeling of being somehow. To be honest, he felt the same way as Devita. The tenderness and motherly attitude that Devita showed her made her heart slowly lean towards him. But Erick thought, he is not a good man let alone deserve to cool women as good as Devita. He is just a jerk who wasted his wife until Ayu suffered the unfortunate fate as it is today.
Erick rubbed his face rough, he felt annoyed with himself.
" Fuck!!!" Bait Erick.
" Why should Devita have the same feelings as me anyway? I was worried like this. It would be much better if only I had this feeling. I'm Devita's asshole.. I don't deserve to be loved by a woman as good as you. You deserve a man far more than me. You'll regret your feelings someday, you'll regret loving a man like me Devita." Erick pulled his hair as if he wanted to eliminate the moment that had just happened that made his life uncertain.
Erick moves from his chair to his room, as he climbs the stairs he crosses paths with Devita. He looked at Devita but Devita preferred to keep her head down. He just went down the stairs while carrying Mikayla. Erick continued his steps towards his room as well as Devita. He walked out of Erick's house to his house.
...****************...
It is different from Valle and Tomi. Tomi is getting close to Valle, as Tomi came to Argham's house this morning just to pick Valle up. He joins the Argham family who are currently having breakfast at the dinner table. He offers to take Valle to school, but Valle refuses.
" Come on, Valle, I'll take you to school. I'll pick you up later when I get home." Tomi's words staring at Valle made Valle shudder in horror. I don't know why Valle became infeel with Tomi's presence that disturbed her so much.
" No, thank you, Om. I can go with papa or between Lukman's men." Valle Sahut.
Just now Valle finished talking until Ijah came to report if Mr. Lukman permission not to work today because his wife entered the hospital. Tomi immediately developed her smile hearing all that, she felt that nature was on her side.
" All right, thanks Den." Say bi Ijah before leaving the dining table.
" Papa, I'm the beaver.... "
" I'm sorry dear, Papa can't take you because Papa has to survey and take some files to the house of people who want to take a car in Papa's shorum. Papa had to get there this morning because the guy was going out of town." Argham.
Valle could only sigh slowly. Intentions want to avoid Tomi but it is as if nature has brought them closer together. He can only quit without wanting to fight again.
After breakfast, Tomi takes Valle to school. Jia stared at their departure in front of the door feeling somehow.
" Don't worry, baby! Tomi's a good man. He'll take good care of our son." Argham said, embracing Jia's shoulder.
" But Mas, I feel Valle is not comfortable with him. Especially after Tomi expressed her feelings for Valle, Valle was like a bully or maybe she was... "
" It's a matter of time difference, baby, although their age is much different but Mas is sure as time goes by Valle will definitely feel comfortable and protected with him." Sahut Argham's.
Argham stood in front of Jia, he held his wife's hand gently.
" Tomi is a heavy drunk, but he's a nice guy, baby. He really appreciates her name as a woman. He would never touch a woman and vice versa. He won't let himself be touched by any woman, he's clean in bed-smelling stuff." Argham seemed to know Jia's worries. How could Jia not worry? Valle is a minor while Tomi is a grown man, she is afraid Tomi is doing bad things to her daughter. He doesn't know Tomi very well.
" Just this time Mas saw Tomi interested in the opposite sex dear. If they make a match someday, I hope you won't get in the way. But if they're not a match, let's just say we find a free bodyguard for our current daughter. Believe me that Tomi will take care of our daughter with all her soul and body. If he dares to be like Valle, Mas will beat him." Argham tried to give his wife peace of mind.
" Aren't you going to bless their relationship if one day they're dating?" Argham asked wanting to know Jia's opinion.
" I don't mind their age difference Mas, which obviously I want my daughter to be in good hands. It's in the hands of a man who's always trying to make her happy." Jia.
" Of course baby, I guarantee Tomi is that guy. Now don't let go of your worries about them, we'll just focus on giving the baby sister to both of them. I love your style of play, baby." Whisper Argham at the end of his sentence.
" Mad.. " Jia pinched Argham's stomach making Argham squeal in pain.
" Agh is sick dear."
" Biain, it's my fault to say the origin. I know I'm embarrassed, still teasing me." Jia.
" Tempting his own wife is legitimate only dear, if tempting the wife of a new person... "
Jia instantly ruffled her waist while staring intently at Argham, Argham immediately swallowed the coarse salivary.
" So, all this time, Argham's been flirting with people's wives?"
" Good yes... Now just ngaku." Jia pinched Argham's stomach many times.
" Agh hurts baby, stop it." Although it didn't really feel as painful as Argham said, but he wanted to please his wife. He likes the attitude of Jia at this time, Jia really respect him so far that jokes like this rarely did Jia make their marriage not so fun.
Whether since when Jia turned into a quiet person like now, Jia herself did not know. At the moment he feels happier living with Argham. His life became more colorful than ever.
