Trapped By The Devil
Jack To My Rose?! No Way's!

Davina and Nikolas sat on the rooftop for a while. There's not much they talk about, just about each other's activities as long as Davina avoids them.

They sat on two AC fans while facing each other.

"Where is Espoir's preparation for the day after tomorrow?" ask Nikolas.

"Udah ripe, doain ya so that the show smooth."

Nicholas nodded.

There was actually one thing Davina wanted to ask, but it was stuck in her mouth.

“I've been in the office,” said Nikolas, as if I could read Davina's mind.

“Don’t worry. Everything is safe.”

Davina nodded, finally deciding not to offend anything.

Then Davina's mind turned again to something else. As long as they were silent like this, there were many things that flashed through his head. One of these…

Is this a good time to allude to the arrival of Raka and her family at the Espoir event later?

But instead of him being crazy and just keeping this time bomb on and on, he'd better just say it all.

"Lusa Raka also came to GKJ.”

Nikolas stunned.

"Papa is also his mother." Davina added, again. To the extent that Nikolas scratched his head, which was actually not itchy at all.

Davina waited, letting silence rule them. He didn't want to say anything.

Sometimes Davina is confused by her own attitude. Was he just trying to hurt Nicholas or was there another reaction he hoped Nicholas would show?

But, again, Davina was disappointed.

Nicholas turned his eyes away from Davina. First he looked at his shoes. Then look at the AC fan.

"It's hot sitting here" said Nikolas.

Davina remained silent.

"Where can we go, but even chat on the rooftop like this." Nikolas grinning.

"Sir..." Davina finally opened her voice.

"What, honey?"

"If you don't like it, get angry dong."

"So you can get angry if you don't like it anymore?" Nicholas smiled, sad.

Davina was silent again. Nicholas turned his sentence right on target.

A message came into Davina's phone. Davina picked up her phone, looking down to see who the message was coming from.

It was from Raka.

Raka: I'm in front of Espoir. You where?

Davina raised her head, and looked at Nicholas.

"From Raka?" ask Nikolas.

Davina nodded. Again without understanding the meaning of yourself why this honest.

"What's he saying?"

"He's downstairs, pick me up."

Nicholas is stunned, again.

Davina could not stand Nikolas's attitude. He also stated the most rational thing that should be said Nikolas, “I can not go, if you forbid.”

Nikolas shook his head, "You want to go home with him?”

Davina did not answer. He was flabbergasted by Nikolas's question. Was his desire so important that Nicholas allowed him to go with other men? What exactly does all this mean.

But Davina's silence was even misunderstood by Nicholas. He concludes that it is a sign that Davina wants to go home with Raka.

"Then, go,” says Nikolas.

"It's not healthy, Nik!" Davina's voice was rising.

"Anything, Dav... Anything I can accept... Just so you don't leave me..."

"You're ridiculous!" Davina growls. He stood up and left Nicholas. Even the flowers that Nikolas gave him were still there.

Davina went down the stairs, picked up her bag from class, walked towards Espoir's exit. He can see Raka's car from a distance. Then, he looked up to the rooftop of the Espoir building. Nicholas stood there, watching him

Davina kept walking away from the Espoir building. Raka looked at him, then waved from inside the car. The man smiled slanted. Favorite smile. Always his favorite.

Davina kept walking. However, in the opposite direction of Raka's car.

Raka's face was confused.

Davina looked at him. He doesn't care anymore. He can even hear Raka getting out of his car.

However, Davina had already gotten into her own car. Let her dumbfounded Raka watches her pass by with her car. Then, Davina took the time to glance at Nikolas on top of the building.

The man smiled. With incredible ridiculousness. Davina had never seen a man this stupid.

Why would...

No Raka...

No Nikolas...

Why always let him just leave??? Why didn't there even the slightest effort from them to defend Davina??? Is Davina really not that valuable??? Which man would want his future wife to be driven home by another man???

He can forgive anything. He was able to accept all of Nicholas' shortcomings, as they were. Only one that Davina could not forgive if the man did not want to fight for her.

Just like Raka did to him.

***

Davina did not come home. He knew that Raka would catch up with him there soon. Nicholas? Don't expect that indecisive man to confront her!

Davina got inbound calls from Dave and Rara several times. But he clearly knew that it was just Raka's wits. This guy always gets what he wants.

Davina's not really going anywhere. Just sit at a fast food restaurant near his house, enjoying his solitude while ordering a chocolate milk shake and large portions of fries.

Stupid shit about fat. Stupid shit about stubborn fat. He doesn't care anymore!

Why was his life arranged by Nicholas?

He opened up Netflix on his phone, then watched the legendary movie Titanic. Everyone knows about the tragic love story between Jack and Rose.

The ending of this film always frustrates Davina half to death. And now it seems like he is also quite frustrated to the point of watching this movie again for his madness level to reach its maximum.

That is to say….

Look Jack!

Why would he have to die? Why would he sacrifice so many things for Rose? Is love not worth fighting for? Couldn't they find two wooden slats that could support Jack so he wouldn't freeze to death? And what kind of writer even makes a love story as sweet as this one??? Doesn't everyone deserve a happy ending???

Then, Davina turned everything on herself. Where is Davina's happy ending?

Davina doesn't need a Jack willing to sacrifice a piece of wood to keep her alive, while Jack dies and drowns at the bottom of the ocean. Davina needed a man who was desperately looking for another wooden blade in order to live with it. Fight for him, with him.

Davina doesn't need a principled Jack “you jump, I jump”. He will pick someone who catches his hand, pulls it with all his might and convinces Davina that living with him will be the most extraordinary thing.

That simple…

But he didn't get it from anyone…

While Davin was busy thinking about everything. Someone appeared behind Davina's back. His face looked relieved as soon as he found his beloved woman.

“Finally... meet also..” The voice jerks Davina.

The tears spread

As he frustratedly expected a better man from a Jack Dawson, he meant by no means Raka!

Because even though Raka always managed to calm her madness, she was also the source of the madness itself.

Davina turned around, raising her face to meet him.

“You can't keep gini, Ka, I'm someone else's wife-to-be.” Davina sobbing.

Raka frowned. I was wondering why Davina was crying. However, Davina's sentence clearly got all her attention.

“Terus, why if you are someone else's future wife?” challenge Raka.

“Yes, that means I can no longer be with you!”

“You want to be someone else's wife though, I won't give up, Devni.”

“Means?!”

“Again I said, I will not give up, even if you have become someone else's wife!” said Raka, steady.

Davina's dumbfounded.

Jack to my rose? No way! This is Raka to our Davina.
