Trapped By The Devil
Don’t Kill Us…

Seeing that Davina did not want to say a single word, Nicholas decided to wait. It took a lot of courage for him to ask that question. It was like dropping yourself into a cliff. However, it turns out that waiting for Davina's answer is more draining the sanity of Nicholas.

People say that the eyes are the windows of the heart. Thus, Nicholas sought. In Davina's eyes.

He looked at the two beautiful eyes and tried to dive into the heart of the owner. It is not difficult for Nicholas to read Davina. The woman is like an open book, though she always tries to hide her feelings.

And even now, deep in his own heart, Nicholas knew very well about Davina's doubts about the continuation of their marriage. But, he has gone so far. He did not want to leave the arena of the match just like that.

“Dav...” Finally Nikolas chose to break that silence. Because if you wait for Davina to open your voice, this silence will last forever.

“Take the time you need as long as possible,” continued Nikolas.

Davina until made stunned by that sentence. Didn't expect her future husband to utter this sentence at all.

“The time I gave Raka to fight is only two weeks away. But we don't need to get married right then. I'm free to choose a date. Whenever you are ready.” Nicholas stroked the back of Davina's hand, as if to imply that Davina was something very precious. Which is worth waiting for. Worth the pain, worth the wait.

“I want you to take as long as possible. Until your doubts are gone. In the end, I can still marry you.” Nikolas' voice trembled slightly at the end of the sentence. All the regrets started to become real. He should never have let Raka into this arena of matches. He should have known that he would never win.

“Nik...” Davina finally makes a sound.

However, it was very scary for Nicholas. He quickly shook his head at Davina.

“You are way above my imagination, Dav. You are the dream. You are the unicorn. Should not be reached. I'm sorry if I'm scared, I'm sorry if I'm scared to lose you now.”

(You're way above my imagination, Dav. You are a dream. You are not real.)

“Yes, you should..” reply Davina. The tears began to melt.

(Yes, it should be.).

Nikolas' eyes waver, “Dav, I beg you.”.

Davina flinching.

“Dav, please, don’t kill ‘us’.

(Don't kill ‘kita’.)

Davina's tears had melted all over her cheeks.

“Loved one more chance for us, Dav. Please?” Nicholas begged. If he could kneel at this moment, he would do so right now, so that Davina would remain by his side. So that the woman does not leave him.

Davina did not answer. He looked only at Nicholas, though the tears had clouded his eyes. Not once did he want to turn away from Nicholas. He wanted to see how Nicholas kept it.

Since the beginning of Nikolas letting Raka fight, Davina had expected that their relationship would be this difficult. Everything's falling apart. No longer have a direction. Davina and Nikolas should not have allowed anyone into their relationship.

But in the midst of the storm, while their chatter was still hanging, the door of Nicholas' room suddenly opened wide.

“Niko!” Someone with his trademark voice just walked in.

Davina quickly wiped her tears.

“Eh, there's Davina, when's it coming? How can I not live first?” ask Angel.

Davina cleared her throat slowly to remove the hoarse voice.

“Sorry, Ma, it was past from the living room, but Mama is not there,” Davina said.

“Masa anyway? Daritadi Mama there loh.”

Davina's chortling again. How do you hide your own feelings when you are required to talk?

“Ma, gone. Maybe Mama went to the toilet again or where.” Nicholas was no longer able to hide his anger.

He and Davina are in important talks. Can't her mom bother them later? This is not the right time.

Finally Angel just answered with a shrug, “Ya already deh, mumpung Davina here too, Mama just want to tell you, your reception building yesterday turned out to have an empty schedule of three weeks. The 15th of July. But it's weekdays. If you guys are okay, let Mama book.”

“Ma, we will discuss later,” said Nikolas, in the end, with a tired voice.

“Why later? Don't delay anymore dong. It's an available building, Nik. Mama doesn't want you guys to marry in another building.”

“Later, Ma...” says Nikolas, again.

“Can't do it, Nik. There are still catering, decorations and others that need to be taken care of. We don't have much–“ time

Angel hasn't finished his sentence, Nikolas has exploded.

“I SAY LATER, MA!”

Davina's shocked. Especially Angel. He stared at his son. Never thought that his proud son, who was always polite, would snap at him. Especially now that they are not alone.

Angel is a typical female in-law candidate who will always consider the prospective daughter-in-law as a rival. Angel was not at all willing to be yelled at by Nikolas like that in front of Davina.

“Why should you be angry anyway??” Angel's voice went up.

“And I told you later, Ma!” Nicholas replied, with a huff.

Angel glanced at Davina at a glance, then turned to look at Nikolas, “You are not married yet have dared to snapped Mama kayak gini yes. What if I get married later???”

Davina flabbergasted. Why is he being carried around between this mother and child problem? Nikolas had not yet answered, Angel had gone out of Nicholas' room.

Davina's tears spread again, this time she turned quickly to Nicholas.

“Dav, sorry Mama–“

Davina cut out Nikolas's sentence quickly.

“Now, tell me, Nik..” said Davina, desperate.

(Now, tell me, Nik.).

“Tell me how not to kill us.”

(Still know me how not to kill ‘kita’.)

Nikolas speechless. Didn't expect Davina to be hurt by the incident just now.

Davina quickly picked up her bag and stepped out of the room. He heard Nicholas shout his name. But he doesn't care at all.

This time he wanted to save himself. He hated being this weak and stupid. Accepting the arbitrary treatment of others on him is no longer tolerable.

No Raka. No Nikolas. Not Angel. No one has the right to treat him like this!

Davina continued to step out of the Tedjakusuma residence. He did not care, walking on until he did not know the direction.

Until he's tired.

Until he no longer knows where.

Finally he pulled over.

Davina was tempted to take her phone to dial someone's number. That can calm him down in an instant. That would certainly wade through anything for Davina.

However, Davina overcame the will of her heart.

Meeting and depending on Raka at this time will only make things even more chaotic.

Happy weekend, everyone. Enjoy time with family 🤗
