"Well, five minutes and let go of my hand!" Eventually Dea relented and gave the man time to make his point.
"Please promise that you will not go" said Alfa.
Dea threw away her face. He did not want to return the man's gaze at all. After Dea began to calm down a little more than before, Alfa began to stretch her grip.
"Dea, now I remember everything. Everything, including the fateful incident that happened that night." Alfa's face was again wrinkled.
"Then?"
Dea let out a rough breath. He still threw his face the other way and refused to return Alfa's gaze.
"I beg your pardon. That night my friends and I were drunk and we were completely unconscious when we did that to you" Alfa said.
Dea smiled cynically. "I'm sorry .. Do you think that by apologizing to me, my life will return to normal just like before, right? I am like a glass plate that you throw on the floor very hard, Mr. Alpha. I've been blown to pieces! Although you can fix it by using the super strong glue that exists in this world, but the traces will still be there."
"Lantas, how should you be willing to forgive all my mistakes and let me take responsibility for you as well as the baby?" lirih Alfa, who was still staring at Dea with a sad look.
Finally Dea turned her head then returned Alfa's gaze. "Break in jail! I think that punishment is worth what you did to me!"
Alfa rubbed her face rough. He did not expect that Dea was a very stubborn girl. Alfa's hand clutched Dea's.
"Come with me!"
"Take me off! Off!" the screech of Dea who was so shocked that the man clutched his hands back very quickly.
Alfa pulled Dea's hand to follow her. However, the girl still insisted on defending herself. He did not want to go with the man. Seeing that, Nadia finally intervened.
"Stop, Mister. Don't hurt my best friend!" said Nadia while trying to help Dea from the grip of Alfa.
Alfa stopped the action. However, his hand was still tightly grasping the wrist. "You just calm down. I have no intention of hurting Dea in the slightest. Instead, I wanted to take her somewhere and prove to her that I really seriously wanted to take responsibility!" firmly Alfa.
After hearing the Alfa's words, Nadia slowly took a few steps back and let the two men solve their problems.
"Don't believe her words, Nadia! He could have lied! Please, help me!" pinta Dea to Nadia who is now away from him.
"I'm sorry, Dea. Not that I don't want to help you. But, maybe you guys do need time to talk about this matter both," replied Nadia with a sad face.
"No, Nad! Please!" Dea was still trying to remove her hand from the grip of Alfa. However, until now he had still not been able to let go.
"Please! Help me!" dea cried increasingly frightened when carried by Alfa. Alfa did not care, upon arrival in the car, Alfa immediately entered Dea's body.
"Don't come any closer!" dea said with a hunting breath as Alfa caught up with her and sat down beside her.
Alfa only smiled obliquely then sat in front of the steering wheel with a fixed gaze on the girl.
"Calm down. For God's sake, I promise I'll never hurt you."
"Trus, what do you want?"
"I will take you back to Muara Asri village and meet your brother" Alfa said as she turned on her car engine.
"Are you crazy, sir?! Meet my brother, but for what?" screeched Dea with furrowed eyebrows.
"No. I'm not crazy! I want to admit everything to your brother" replied Alfa who was now focusing on her wheel.
Dea bent both of her legs over the seat, then hugged her tightly. He smiled sinisterly as he threw his gaze outwards.
"Aren't you afraid of getting beat up by my brother?"
Alfa had glanced at Dea for a moment then refocused on the road before her. "No. Don't just get beat up by your brother, beaten by villagers I'm ready."
"Hhh, you arrogant human! I wonder why God has even met me with such a proud and haughty man like you" muttered Dea with a gaze still fixed on the road beside her.
Alfa chuckled softly. "Maybe the Lord has betrothed us both. It's just the way it goes."
Dea grunted angrily then grabbed the tissue box in the car and threw it at Alfa. "Close your mouth! I wouldn't be fooling around with someone like you even if you were the last man in the world."
Instead of being angry, Alfa laughed. "Don't say that. What if we're a fool and that means you lick your own spit."
"Shut up! Or I'll jump into the street!" dea Tham.
"Yes-yes, okay. I'll shut up" Alfa replied with a smile.
