Trapped By The Devil
Everything Comes To An End

For everything there is a time. For all the trouble on earth there must be an end.

Currently, Raka, Albert and Julia are awaiting the verdict of the second trial. Julia clenched her hands tightly. She's so scared.

"Can you calm down?!" Raka complained.

Julia looked at Raka. Finally, Raka wanted to open her voice again.

"God, Jules. I lost Davina. Creature will also struggle out if they win in this case. I have nothing more to lose."

Albert sighed hearing Raka's words.

"I'm sorry, all because of me" Julia said.

"Udahlah."

Albert and Julia observe Raka. Their friend seemed relaxed this time. Very different compared to his attitude when facing the first trial.

Raka doesn't care anymore. Since the day she let Davina go of her life, she has buried all her feelings and desires.

Shortly after, the judge entered the courtroom. After reading the various considerations of the case, the judge went into the topic of the verdict.

"With this, the judge decided to grant some of the plaintiffs' demands. That is, a fine of two billion without criminal penalties to the owner of Creature. Although it does not deny the negligence of Creature, Wetix as the provider of data sharing containers is also considered to have its own negligence in maintaining the system."

Julia crying. Albert too.

They hugged Raka tightly with a fluffy smile.

"We did it, Ka! We did it!'

Raka let her body be hugged by her two friends. His soul is not there.

Just two billion? Creature can still endure it. Borrow here and there, from banks and mortgage receivables. There's a lot Creature can do to cover it all up.

Raka closed her eyes.

Finally, ends. Everything's over.

This time, Raka did not drive her car directly to her apartment. He's headed to a house. That will be his tranquilizer. The house that he did not dare to go to from the very beginning he faced this problem.

He just parked his car.

Upon entering the living room, he immediately found what he was looking for.

"Raka?" Nayla's face sparkled.

"Tumben remembers going home..." Azel sneered.

Raka felt her eyes heat up.

He quickly sat down in front of Nayla, hugging and resting his head on her lap.

"Why you?" nayla asked, shocked, by the treatment of her son.

Raka shakes.

"You want your money, huh?" asked Azel, suspicious.

"Have a son! Raka has been independent of us for a long time!" Nayla hits her husband's shoulder. Then slowly Nayla's hand stroked Raka's shoulder, then onto her head.

"Raka is the son of Mama's pride" said Nayla.

Raka could not help her sense of smell. The mother did not know what Raka had just been through. If you knew, Nayla couldn't possibly be this calm.

But it's okay.

Raka tightened her embrace to her mother. Because there is peace to be found.

It's all right. Everything is over. Everything has really ended.

Six Months Later...

"Why do you have to take me anyway, Ka?" moaning Julia while tidying up her clothes.

"This is my last request before you unplug from Creature!" said Raka while driving her car slowly.

Julia sneered. He made a big decision to leave Creature. Initially Albert and Raka did not accept. But when they heard what company asked Julia, and what salary was offered to her, they immediately understood why Julia wanted to leave.

Raka secretly observes Julia who repeatedly peels herself in the mirror of her car.

"Udah anyway, Jules, I want to see a real prospective in-law, deh," Raka said.

Julia looked at him with a murderous look.

"Shut up! Your ex-boyfriend Davina! Continuously if I come messy it's my name to embarrass myself!" Julia repet.

Raka laughs.

"Yes anyway. Davina sets the standard too high huh."

"Eat him! I'm also very lazy actually and only for you, if you don't remember my debt is the same lo!"

Raka laughed again.

Today there is a celebration of the anniversary of Dave and Diana in a famous hotel ballroom. The rich are free.

Raka knows that Davina is no longer alone. So, he asked Julia to accompany him so that he didn't look too pitiful.

Upon arriving at the ballroom, they were immediately greeted by Nayla and Azel.

"Oh, this is Raka's current boyfriend. Hello, Julia!" Nayla reached out to Julia.

"Just a friend, Auntie," Julia explained, chuckling.

"Beautiful like this is rare, Ka. Buruan is tied up, if not taken by people," Nayla told Raka.

"Tali kali ah, tied up," replied Raka.

They also attended the show for a moment.

Then Raka saw it...

Davina's...

As beautiful as ever...

Another male.

He knows the man. Nicholas.

"Nyesel, right?! Nyesel, right?!" Julia Whispered.

Raka smiled knot. He no longer has rights. He's the one who let Davina go. He ignores Davina when she needs him so much. Who does he have to regret?

"She deserves someone better, Jules."

"Deserve someone better, my a*s! Everyone looks here and holds my hand! Whynot? Want to make her jealous?" Julia sneered.

"Beware of you too!" Raka laughs.

Julia grunting.

An hour later, the event began to enter a free event. There is a legendary Indonesian acoustic band on stage singing a slow song. Some people were seen dancing near the stage. Including Davina and Nikolas.

Raka decided to sit on a bench while enjoying her third beer glass.

"It's still eight o'clock you're drunk, boss?!" Dave suddenly appears next to Raka.

Raka chuckles, "Beer can't get drunk, Pa."

"If a gallon is drunk, yes" said Dave, sipping also his beer glass.

Raka ignored Dave's words.

"Kok who has a celebration is sitting here anyway?" sindir Raka's.

"That's got a celebration for your mom! Papa can only follow what he wants!" Dave sneering. Raka could only laugh.

Then, they were silent for a moment.

Dave's attention was shifted for a moment to the figure of Julia who stood not far from them. Julia was holding Keysha laughing with her.

"She's beautiful, inside and out" Dave told Raka, pointing at Julia.

(She is beautiful, inside and out.)

Raka just grinned. He never thought that way about Julia.

"But she's only a friend. Am I right?" Dave's tone turned ignorant.

(But he's just a friend. Aren't you?)

Raka laughed, "Six months is enough to eat Papa's child?"

Dave shook his shoulders, "Yep! That's my point!"

Dave then reached into his tuxedo pocket, retrieving his phone.

"Hardon-heard Creature again find new clients huh? Still need money to recover, right? This is Papa there are acquaintances, he said again want to make an application for his office." Dave types something in a private message with Raka.

"Eh, no need, Pa!" Raka evasive.

"Udah. Just haubutin. He's the one with Infitro." Dave mentioned a big company name.

"Infitro?" Raka's face sparkled.

Dave nodded.

"The rich are cihuy's connections!" said Raka.

Dave sneering.

"Thank you, Pa. Although Raka is a jerk, keep aided," muttered Raka.

"You're like Papa's own son. Whatever your mistake, Papa's sorry."

"Even if Raka's fault hurts Papa's real son?"

Dave contemplating.

"He was very happy with you, Ka. That's all Papa wants to remember."

Raka fell silent.

Dave patted Raka on the shoulder, then left.

Raka sipped until she finished her third glass. Then go back to the table that gave the free flow beer.

When he finished filling his fourth glass, he realized Davina was already standing next to him. Both of them were equally shocked when they realized their respective presences.

Davina tried to act ordinary while pouring beer into her own glass.

"So, you're with Julia now?" ask Davina. His tone was calm, there was no longer any jealousy reflected.

"Are you Nikolas now?" raka Balas.

"Yep!"

Silent moment.

"How long in Indonesia?" ask Raka again, finally.

"I've settled here."

Raka slashed. He had to clutch his glass tightly so as not to fall.

Davina looked up, watching Nicholas standing not far from them.

"I can't reach my dreams, Ka. So, I'm looking for a new dream. And now, I've had that dream."

Then, Davina walked away.

Leaving Raka alone.

Raka downed her fourth beer glass.

Everything is over. Including everything about him and Davina.
