Trapped By The Devil
And Last…

Actually, that afternoon, Raka actually came to Davina's doctor's room. However, he never really entered. His steps were stopped right outside the room when the doctor said something.

“Davina recovery may be a bit long. It takes physiotherapy about five to six months to be completely cured,” said the doctor.

Raka stunned. The hand that was about to turn the door knob of the room immediately stopped.

Six months? The race that Davina will be participating in will take place three months from now!

Guilt returned to attack Raka all out. He decided to break into the doctor's office. How was the expression he could show in front of Dave and Diana? He's the one who caused all this!

“But can Davina's legs really heal as they are, Doc?” Raka could hear Diana ask.

No word for a while.

Raka's hands clenched. For God's sake, don't let him hear any more bad news. Because otherwise, Raka would not have been able to forgive herself. Raka begged desperately in her heart.

However, the universe has decided its destiny.

Raka could hear the doctor sighing softly, then said, “Maybe it won't be able to return another hundred percent.”.

Raka immediately felt beaten. He could hear the gasps of Diana and Dave at that moment.

“But, take it easy, Davina will still be able to dance. Only arriving can be a hundred percent like it used to be again. We'll try our best. Let's both hope.” The doctor hastily explained further.

Raka could no longer hear everything. He chose to quickly step away from that place, before he knew of an even more painful reality.

As Dave and Diana returned to her room, Davina's forehead frowned. He looked for a figure, but after Dave and Diana entered, they immediately closed the door again.

“Where's the record, Ma?” tanyakanya.

“Raka?” ask her parents, together.

“Iya, Raka!” Davina repeated again.

“Mama doesn't understand, Dav,” Diana explained.

“Tadi Raka said to follow to doctor's room.”

“Nothing, Honey. Not that Raka hasn't come yet huh?”

“Udah, Mom. But he was gone for a while, said he wanted Papa nyusulin with Mama to the doctor's room.”

Dave and Diana looked at each other. It seemed like they could guess the reason Raka left. Did Raka hear their conversation with the doctor earlier?

Meanwhile, Davina tries to hide her panic in front of her two friends. Nicholas and Yuni must not know what happened.

“Maybe he went briefly to the hospital canteen. Usually at this time he sleepy, definitely again buy coffee.” Davina gave everyone an explanation.

“Iya. Later Papa susulin to canteen ya.” Dave stroked the baby's head.

Davina nodded.

For a while, Yuni and Nikolas were still trying to stay there just for the sake of politeness. However, they could catch Davina's unease. So they have permission to go home. They don't want to be a hindrance to Davina's search for her lover.

After touching Dave and Diana, they immediately headed for the exit. Nicholas peeked for a while before closing Davina's door.

“Udah, do not be seen continue,” whispered Yuni while laughing softly.

Nicholas closes the door immediately. Then they walked side by side.

“It looks like they will break up.. again..” Yuni murmured.

“Again?” ask Nikolas.

Yuni nodded, “They broke up before Davina went to Paris. I think Raka is not the type who can survive in difficult situations.”

Nikolas pondered for a moment, “What is the difficulty anyway? Davina was just an accident. But he's fine now.”

“These strings are unique in my opinion, Nik. Sometimes I like to be irrational when it comes to Davina.”

“Too love?”

“Maybe. If I get good news, I will tell you immediately lo.” Yuni patted Nikolas on the shoulder.

“Sinting!” Nikolas laughs.

“Stupid no one knows, my bro!”

“But the time of day should doain people break up anyway?”

“Yeah! Those who want to get married can still be stabbed. Especially just this courtship.” Yuni laughing.

Raka didn't answer Davina's phone call either. After several attempts, Davina gave up.

“Still not answer?” ask Diana.

Davina shook her head, “Maybe called a lecturer again to campus, Ma. Or there's work on Creature.”

Davina tried to smile, as usual, Davina was always neat in covering up every behavior Raka likes at will. Because he didn't want Raka to look ugly in anyone's eyes.

“You sure? Want Papa to try the phone?” ask Dave.

“No need, Pa. Ntar must also be Raka answered.”

Inevitably, Dave complies with Davina's wishes.

“So the doctor said what, Pa, Ma?” davina asked, trying to divert the conversation.

Dave and Diana are holding Davina's hand.

He immediately took a deep breath, fully aware that it was not good news that he would get.

He alone could feel how his legs were at the moment. And actually, from the very beginning, he was already preparing for the worst possibility of this accident.

“Doctor says, you need physiotherapy five to six months.” Dave started it all.

Davina closes her eyes, trying to understand that not everything she wants can be had. The race he so desperately wanted to win was only three months away. And this is the last year he can enter the race. It seemed like he really had to give up this one wish.

It's okay, it's okay.

Think Davina.

“There's more that Davina needs to know?” ask Davina.

Diana looked at Dave doubtfully.

“Ma.. Davina doesn't like being lied to. It's better that Davina knows now, than later. Much more pain.” Davina convinced Diana.

Diana clasped her hands on her daughter.

“There is a possibility that your legs can not recover another hundred percent..”.

Davina's tears were slowly flowing.

He has prepared his mind for this one. However, he did not expect that he would never be able to accept it.

“Dav, the doctor is sure you can still nari, dear... You do not cry, Dav.... Oh, my dear child..” Diana immediately hugged Davina.

“We'll find the best treatment, honey. Wherever that is. Any doctor that is. You don't be afraid. We'll try, Dav.” Dave hugged his wife and daughter.

Davina was no longer able to answer. He just wants to cry.

Even at his best, sometimes he can still make mistakes on stage. How could he do it with a foot that could no longer function a hundred percent?

As everyone knows…

Ballet is like breathing for Davina.

And how can he keep breathing, if the air disappears?

Davina's whole dream is slowly fading away.

The whole…

Parisian…

Ballet…

The stage…

And lastly…

Rabbet.

Which disappeared now, in the worst times of his life.
