Trapped By The Devil
Confession of a Coward

“Gue wants you to know that you always have other options. And I'm sure, you won't regret if you open up with me.”

The sentence flashed back on Raka's head. His hand clutched tightly at the wheel of his car.

He's such a coward! He's a real coward!

She had tried to ventured to Davina's house, bringing her beloved's bouquet of flowers. Wanted to apologize for all his brazen actions over the past few days. Wanting to beg her lover again that even though she was not worthy, she still wanted to stay with Davina. That her life had been so fucked up, but she would be fine, if there was Davina by her side.

However, lately, the reality is so unfriendly to Raka. As soon as he arrived, he saw Davina sitting together looking at each other with Nicholas. He wants to be angry. She doesn't like it when Davina looks at other men!

Then the word just came out of Nicholas' mouth…

Which made all of Raka's anger evaporate instantly.

Yeah, Davina always had that choice…

A better choice than himself…

The reality he had been trying to avoid the past few days, but it turned out to be now thrown right in front of his face.

He immediately left the place. But before he got in the car, someone greeted him.

“Eh, Mas Raka! How not to enter?” ask Mbak Nur.

“What's wrong, Ma'am.. I was in a hurry..” Raka tried to dodge.

Mama Nur looked confused.

And this is the stupidity of Raka, the behavior of children that will never end. He handed the flowers to Mba Nur.

“Please love to Davina yes, Ma'am..”.

Nur looked confused. Then, Raka immediately got into his car without any explanation.

Really ridiculous…

Raka wanted to curse herself…

Why did he keep giving the flowers???

Want to show Davina that she came???

That on top of all her ugliness, all her folly, choices that were far better than her, Raka still wanted Davina to choose her…

“Lo shy!!!” maki Raka while hitting the wheel of her car.

He doesn't know what to do. He can only continue to drive his car, it is better that he languished in his apartment since then.

***

As soon as Raka entered her apartment, Albert and Julia were already waiting with expectant faces.

“Where?” askthem.

“Lo both do not need to know,” replied Raka, sober.

Albert and Julia took a breath. Can guess that this friend of theirs must not have met Davina.

Raka threw her body on the sofa. Then curl up and immerse his face into the pillow.

“Lo why, Ka?” ask Albert.

Raka did not answer, she chose to close her eyes. He wanted to forget his thoughts for a moment.

“Gue sleepy. If you want to go back, ntar do not forget to close the door,” muttered Raka, with a tone of ogah-ogahan. He was completely unable to socialize with other humans at this moment. The contents of his head were only poison, as well as if he was forced to say something. There would only be cruel sentences without a sieve at the moment. So, he better keep quiet. No one needs to get hurt if he's like this.

Shortly after, no more sounds were heard from Raka, it seemed like she had already fallen asleep.

Albert and Julia looked at each other.

“This guy wants what the hell, Jules?” Albert looks upset.

“Lo can't fault him completely.” Julia sighed.

Albert's expression changed. His face turned sad. He observed Raka with a sympathetic look.

Yesterday, Wetix's lawyers filed a lawsuit against Creature at the hearing. Belasan billion. If the basic demands are not met, then Raka as the person legally responsible in every deed and agreement with Wetix will face criminal charges.

“Gue will be jailed anyway.” muttered Raka after the hearing.

“We don't have that much money, Bert,” lamented Raka.

Julia herself was crying.

“Lo don't be sad, hey!” Raka clings to Julia's head.

“But..” Julia as young as possible, can not finish the sentence.

Raka did not talk much after that. The two of them had been half-dead confused since yesterday how to comfort Raka.

He doesn't want to talk about his feelings at all. He just eats and sleeps. At first they thought Raka would be fine after meeting Davina, apparently their opinion was wrong. Raka doesn't even want to see Davina.

Albert understood Raka's feelings.

Since the days of the ancestors, men have always been the breadwinners. So no one is surprised if any man will experience prolonged depression if something happens at his job.

“Gue how to do yes, Bert?” julia asked, pulling back Albert's focus.

“What's the point? What can we do, Jules?”

“It seems, I want to do something for Raka...”.

“There’s nothing we can do. About her relationship with Davina, it's their problem, Jules."

"But there's nothing we can do?" Julia nodded, frustrated.

Suddenly the door of Raka's apartment opened. They both looked. Someone pushed Davina in a wheelchair, into Raka's apartment.

A man!

Albert and Julia were stunned. Who the hell is that guy?

"Sleeping rabbit?" davina asks Julia and Albert when she realizes that Raka is curled up on the sofa.

"Yes, Dav." Julia answered.

"Your work is so much?" ask Davina, again. Just wanted to confirm why Raka rarely contacted him.

Julia looked at Albert. He doesn't like to lie, even to people he doesn't know very well, like Davina.

"Lo should have a conversation with Raka anyway, Dav." Albert finally spoke. He did not want to go too far in Raka's personal affairs. But he also did not want Raka to keep everything hidden from Davina.

Finally Davina nodded.

"We go first." Albert and Julia got up from their seats.

"Lo want me to go? Or how?"

Albert and Julia had heard the man ask Davina. And they finally understood why Raka looked so messed up after that. They quickly moved out of the room, not wanting to know more about their friend's problems.

"Yes, Nik. Very sorry yes. Thank you for coming here" Davina said.

"No problem. Hopefully your problem with Raka quickly finished yes," said Nikolas, as it were. Even in his heart, he did not agree with his words at all.

The man also went out.

Davina stared for a moment at Nicholas. He was obviously using the man. However, he had no other choice. She could not let both her parents know that there was a problem in her relationship with Raka. Until Davina has to meet Raka like this.

The door also closed.

Davina turned her head again towards Raka.

He was stunned as Raka's body had already moved to get up.

He never expected that Raka had not slept at all since earlier.
