Trapped By The Devil
A Punishment for the Seduced

Raka moved after closing the door perfectly. Soon, however, the door opened again.

Raka immediately turned around and found Davina already standing before him with a flushed face.

“YOU SALAAAH!” Davina. His index finger pointed at Raka, his voice also snapping at the man loudly.

Raka frowned.

“I pulled my words earlier! You were wrong in our relationship! You are always wrong! You become a coward when we are faced with a long distance relationship! You are a coward when our relationship is full of problems!” Davina keeps cursing. Now not only was his face flushed red, even his entire body trembled withstanding the sudden burst of rage.

Raka had trouble keeping her facial expression up. Although Raka knew that Davina was venting all her pent-up anger during this time, but what she wanted to do at this time was to embrace this beloved woman. Davina always looks so adorable when angry. Like a mini pomerian bark or red toy poodle that actually wants to make us want to menguyel-guyel gag their faces…

Well, Raka better never tell you this secret. That he had just likened Davina to a little dog, which although funny was incredible, they were still animals.

Raka should focus on Davina. Because the woman is like going to continue her long speech.

And it's true…

“Keep now, what do you expect, Ka? You come again, ruin everything, all the happiness that has been cape-cape I wake up after you destroyedin–“

Davina had not yet finished her sentence, Raka immediately cut. Satan cannot see the slightest gap, once he sees the weakness of man, he will take the best chance possible.

“If you go back with me, you don't need to cape-cape the wake of your happiness, Devni. It just comes naturally. Because I am your happiness, and you are also my happiness,” said Raka, steady. There is no doubt at all. As it already is.

Always sweet, sweet mouth full of poison for Davina's liver.

The woman immediately shook her head firmly, “Bullshit!!!”

Raka instead smiled obliquely, like an understatement.

And seeing all that, Davina suddenly realized.

Raka is not a forbidden fruit at all.

If you want to be likened to the story of human creation, there is one role that turns out to be more suitable for Raka than just a forbidden fruit full of temptation.

Raka is the real form of the devil, which forces him into the temptation. He kept whispering crazy ideas in his heart. He constantly tries to make sure that what he doesn't have is what he needs.

And want to know what's more sadistic than all that?

That…

The forbidden fruit…

It is his own desire.

His desire to return with Raka. His desire to return to feeling a warm embrace, just as he had desperately refused in the room. His desire to return to being someone Raka loved wholeheartedly.

Even Davina couldn't believe her own heart.

Didn't he already struggle to get up to this position? Until he can stand up without needing to hold on to someone as unreliable as Raka? Which always let it fall, broke apart. By ourselves.

While Davina was busy with her own thoughts, Raka walked over. Her finger stuck to Davina's forehead just like that.

“Devni...” call him.

Davina jerks.

“Don't think that's heavy-heavy!” said Raka, again.

Davina was about to open her mouth again. But Raka immediately held him back.

“I'm not here to make you dizzy again. I'm here to show you that I'm sorry. I'm stupid. And I used to be just big talk.” Raka's hand is now playing around in Davina's face frame, stroking the beautiful face with full of feeling.

“But I need you to look at me now, Devni.”

Davina did not answer. Refused too.

“I hate you now!” Davina.

“Why? Because it makes you more in love than ever?!”

Indeed, he had already begun to doubt his motive of confronting Raka directly like this. It seemed like the events in the pool last night, the events in the room just now, all the glimpses of the intoxicating memories of the past, made him so unable to think clearly. Did he just want to hear all this from Raka? Does he want to be convinced... that Raka still.... wants it?

Davina quickly threw Raka's hand from her face.

“No shame!” mean it. Despite saying it right in front of Raka's face, Davina was cursing herself.

She's an engaged woman. Should have even been married. And what is he doing right now with the other men?

In front of his room.

Talk about the past.

Making this other man even promised a future that he.

“Kony!” davina said, again, like not being content with cursing yourself.

Raka nodded, preparing to accept all of it, “I am indeed silly, Devni.”.

Davina turned to look at Raka's face.

“All this would not have happened if I had not acted silly first.”.

Davina was silent, not answering.

In fact, it all happened.

Raka left him bleeding.

Davina, too, is not trying to save Raka from the black hole of guilt and helplessness.

And when everything has turned out to be fine as it is now, isn't it ridiculous that they still want each other's existence in their lives? They never pass the tough test, what makes them dare to think that there is a future for them?

“Devni... Please..”.

Yes, Davina would never hate that call.

“What about now?” ask Raka, lirih.

What about now?

What a futile question. Because everyone knows the answer, even Raka herself. But the owner of the answer will never let the sentence slip from his mouth.

Moreover…

When someone suddenly appeared before them.

“Davina!!” call Rara. His face was unusually pale.

Davina's gut feeling was bad.

He had been playing around on the brink for too long, so falling was a reasonable reward for his stupidity.

“Why, Brother?” raka asked, because Davina really lost her tongue.

“Nikolas..” Rara looks doubtful.

And Davina understood that for those who are tempted there will always be provided with the appropriate punishment. Like Eve being condemned to come out of the Garden of Eden. So too he must be punished, for having dared to be tempted to the devil, for the umpteenth time, without deterrence, without mercy.

“Nikolas why?” The voice of foreign Davina.

“Nikolas... hospital admission..”.

Davina closed her eyes. He should never be tempted again.
