Trapped By The Devil
"Just Go, Dav."

The first hearing between Creature and Wetix was held today. The evidence presented by both sides is equally heavy, equally supportive.

"With this, the defendant can present concrete evidence that all communication and all sharing of data between the defendant and the plaintiff is carried out in the application container managed by the plaintiff himself. The defendant has run all the existing protocols while using the application. And if there is a leak of information that occurs in the application, the defendant cannot be the responsible party alone." That's how Ikhsan closed his argument that afternoon.

The judge decided to hold off until the second hearing before actually deciding the outcome of the trial. They can't guess at all

After returning from the court, Raka, Albert and Julia also ate three at a tent stall. None of them wanted to open the conversation. Everyone is busy with their thoughts.

Even until they got back in Albert's car, no one was able to open their voices. Because his mind is still chaotic, Raka is deliberately nebeng in his friend's car.

Oh, these times are hard

They are making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby

Danny O'Donoghue's voice from The Script is heard from Albert's car radio. Raka stared straight at the road expressionlessly. He looked at each of the lyrics of the song For The First Time in silence.

Exactly alike.

The song is his true heart...

Raka let out a breath. Actually, all of these things can be simple.

And Julia realized all that.

"Ka," call him.

"Hm?" That was Raka's first word today.

"Yesterday Davina called me."

Raka turned her head quickly, "Continue?"

"He asked for an explanation for why."

"Lo engga–" Her voice hung as she realized Julia's current expression. Raka lost power. So, Davina already knows everything?

"LO DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT, JULES!" maki Raka's.

"This is none of my business, Ka. But Davina deserves an explanation. She deserves to know everything, Ka." said Julia.

Raka felt his head was indeed about to explode. He quickly turned away from Julia, clenching his hands. Why is there nothing in the world that goes according to his will?

He just wanted Davina not to see it as a failed product. Disabilities everywhere. Is the request too heavy to be granted by the universe?

"Ka.." call Julia.

"I need you to shut up, Jules!" hardik Raka's.

(Mending you shut up, Jules!)

"Raka..."

Raka couldn't take it anymore, "Can you stop ruining my life?!"

(Lo can't stop ruining my life?!)

Julia fell silent.

Fortunately, Albert's car had entered Raka's apartment. The quarrel was over with Raka quickly getting out of Albert's car.

Julia observes Raka who walks into her apartment.

"So she finally got out of her true feelings about me, Bert," Julia said.

Albert did not reply, only patting Julia on the back.

"Better than this. I'd rather he beat me up."

Albert just shook his shoulders, then drove off his car.

Both of his friends are strange. He better not comment.

Raka rubbed her forehead as the elevator drove her to the floor of her apartment unit. If she was in a state of turmoil, it seemed like she would rather sew her mouth together. He should not be able to interact with any form of sentient being that has feelings!

He pressed the automatic lock button, then walked into his apartment with mixed feelings.

When she turned around, Raka was silent when she saw that there was one figure in the living room of her apartment.

Davina was always as pretty as her memory.

Especially without tears.

Not as of now.

The face was puffy and looked languishing.

And he's the cause of all that.

"Raka.." call Davina, with great difficulty.

"Why did you come here?" Raka asked indifferently while taking off her shoes.

So, Davina can already walk on her own? Raka is grateful in her heart. Three weeks did not meet it turns out that the progress of healing Davina's legs is as fast as this.

"Why don't you tell me, Ka?" Davina instead asked back, instead of answering Raka's question.

What could Raka explain right now? It's like there's not enough pain she's inflicting on Davina's heart.

"Ka, if you have a problem, you don't want to be alone. I'm here, Ka, do you a favor."

"Nobody needs to be helped."

"Papa can help you, Ka. Papa knows..."

That finally made Raka turn to Davina.

"You told me about my problem to Papa Dave?" He felt his anger overflow.

He was able to maintain all the feelings in his heart as long as nothing touched his pride.

Davina was silent when she realized all that.

"I asked you once again, did you tell Papa Dave my problem???"

"Cu-just Papa, Ka..." Davina.

Suddenly a phone call came into Raka's phone. Rara's name is on there.

"And why now Brother Rara calls me, huh?!" hardik Raka, again.

Davina fell silent. He's really just a story with Dave and Rara. Doesn't he need someone else's opinion? Doesn't Raka also need someone else to deal with all this?

Raka lost hope.

Even if Davina alone knew about her failure this was already a big blow to Raka. Especially now that Dave and Rara are. He could not imagine that his parents knew.

"Just go, Dav!" said Raka, finally.

(Go, Dav!)

Davina flinched, not believing her hearing.

"Davina.. don't you hear me?"

(Davina... Can't you hear me?)

Davina's riveted.

"I said go!"

(I said go!)

Davina's tears are spreading. He was no longer a Devni to Raka. She's just Davina. A stranger to Raka.

Davina quickly stepped out of Raka's apartment. He will not be able to help people who do not want to be helped. Even though that person was the one he loved with all his heart.

Raka hears the door of her apartment being knocked down just like that by Davina.

Then she sat down in a chair and answered Rara's phone.

"Why, Brother?" asked Raka, while re-mortifying her forehead.

"Ka, how are you? What was the outcome of today's trial? Why don't you tell me, Ka?" Rara spouted out all her worries.

"Not yet to know, Brother. Still waiting for the second trial. Brother hasn't told Papa the same Mama, has he?"

"Lo don't want Papa to know Mama?"

"No."

Rara was silent at the end.

"Papa Mama don't know yet, do you?!" ask Rara again.

"Yet. If you don't answer the phone, I'll call them."

"No, Brother! Please tell Papa Dave as well so as not to tell Papa the same Mama too. I can finish this all by myself, brother. Please help me this time. I don't want anyone to know anymore."

"okay." Rara finally agreed, albeit with a heavy heart.

"Lo broke up with Davina because of this?" ask Rara.

Raka did not answer.

"Lo coward, Ka!"

Raka just shut up.

"If there is a problem, it is speaking well-bai–"

"Well, brother?! My problem is enough. Don't add any more."

Raka disconnects the phone, leaves her cell phone in the living room, then immediately goes inside her room. He wanted to disappear for a moment from the fatigue. It was enough that he faced one judge this afternoon, lest anyone dare to be a judge again for him.
