Trapped By The Devil
Until the Day Change. (2).

The day of determination has arrived…

Raka awaits the arrival of Nayla and Azel right in front of the Jakarta Art Building. He could not pick up his parents from Bogor because there was a job that could not be left behind.

Someone patted his shoulder while saying, “Raka?”

He also looked at the origin of the voice. Stand before him now, Jihan and Glenys.

“Lo come too?” ask Jihan.

“Iya.” Raka nyengir's. Then he looked down, equalizing with Glenys, “Hai, Glenys!”

“Hai, Om Raka!” Glenys smiled shyly.

“Glenys today show ya?” ask Raka.

“No, Om.” Glenys.

Jihan stroked her son's head, “We came just to watch. Who knows, next year Glenys could follow.”

“Dong definitely follow. Kan Glenys jago.” Raka stroked the little boy's head.

Glenys immediately smiled.

“Don't tell me you've turned Davina around..” Jihan smiled.

Raka chuckles, “Doain aja.”

“Hah? Seriously? Really? Well, how come you didn't tell me anyway?”

“Not yet. I said doain. Can yes, can not.”

“What percentage is likely?”

Raka shrugged her shoulders.

“Ah, you are not happy!”

Raka chuckled again. There was no doubt that the man was feeling very optimistic.

“Eh, my husband has returned from the toilet. Unplug it first yes.” Jihan held Glenys hand, then walked away. Jihan's husband smiled gently at his son and wife.

Raka looked at the little family. Is marriage not as bad as her mind?

Raka quickly shook her head. Not yet given an answer by Davina, she began thinking about getting married. How ridiculous!

Raka shifted her mind by observing the few people around her.

He saw Nikolas and his parents walking through the parking lot. Raka let out a breath.

Raka no longer had time to cover because she was standing near the entrance and Nikolas had already met her eyes. And Angel has also been observing Raka from the very beginning out of her car.

“You invited too?” Angel's cynical voice rang out as soon as they arrived before Raka.

“Iya, Tan.” Raka smiled just for the sake of modesty. Without him realizing it, his attitude was just like being a gasoline for Angel's emotional field.

Angel's face was instantly red.

“Davina how the hell, Nik? How come even ngundang people who have ruined your marriage?” Angel scolded Nikolas, in a quiet voice, but could still be heard by Raka.

“Ma, come.” Nicholas tried to calm down.

“Mama doesn't like us to be attracted! What does Davina mean? What if someone knew about all this?” Angel growling.

Raka could not take it anymore. He hates the most if someone starts trying to be a victim, when in fact the whole party has a mistake.

“Sorry, Tan. I want to be here anytime, I'm a Davina family. I am here because I want to support him. Nothing to do about my feelings.” Raka explained at length.

“I don't need an explanation from you!”

Raka let out a breath. Perhaps for Angel, a person without a big surname was not worth speaking a single word to her. However, Raka did not care. Azel did not bring down a big family name for him, but his father always taught to always treat others as best as possible. He wanted to teach that to Angel.

“I was wrong to have foiled the marriage of Nikolas and Davina, but it was not Davina's fault at all. And one more thing that Auntie needs to remember, nor is it Davina's fault that her future husband instead allows her and gives time to other men to seize her.”

Angel's face turned red.

Raka smiled. Seiblis. A already-existing.

“Ma, already. Come, log in!” Nicholas has now pulled his mother.

***

Nayla and Azel appear fifteen minutes after Nikolas and his family disappear.

“Your face why tangle so badly, Ka?” nayla asked, as soon as she arrived before her son.

“Nothing, Ma.” Raka tried to smile. She probably told her mother that she had just met an angel.

“Rara has arrived?” ask Azel.

“Udah. I'm in the same class as Brother, Papa Dave and Mama Dee.”

“We want to enter?”

“Raka nyulaus.”

“OK deh.”

Raka let her parents in first. He took out a cell phone to type in a short message.

20 Minutes to go, deg-deg-an?

Not waiting long, the message was answered.

Davina : Severe. More deg-deg-an than if it appears alone. Wish us luck!

Me: Of course!

Davina: Anyway, thank you flowers.

Raka smiled, like a labil ABG boy who was just getting along, as Davina photographed the flowers. He had indeed deliberately ordered red roses from the Flower House to be sent to the backstage.

Though Davina no longer appears here, but she just wants to give a signal that whatever Davina will do in the future will always get support.

The support he once forgot to give, being too preoccupied with his problems…

But if Davina chooses her, she promises to always give her best, no matter what.

The ballet Espoir x Nararya was very successful. Evidently with a few minutes of standing ovation given by the audience once the show is finished. Davina and Ilana as the owners of two dance centers that work together, even a little shed tears because they are very proud of their students.

Raka's heart was filled when she saw Davina who only appeared on stage for a few minutes. This stage used to belong to Davina.

But Raka immediately threw out those thoughts. It's Davina's new dream, her new happiness. I don't need to feel guilty anymore.

He saw his beloved woman standing there. Not only did he realize that he loved the woman with all his heart, but he also learned to forgive himself.

Only Davina can make it like this. Only Davina could teach him this much.

How he used to think he could go through life without Davina.

As soon as the event was over, the whole family immediately approached Davina. Not even to miss the Nikolas family.

Only Raka remained standing in her place, looking at Davina from a distance.

In the middle of the crowd, Davina's eyes were looking for someone. Raka realizes that she is the one Davina is looking for. But he's waiting. Until finally, their eyes met.

Raka smiled, full of haru.

So did Davina.

Raka knew he was going to win.

Raka knew Davina's whole heart was still hers.

He went home to his apartment that night with an overwhelming sense of optimism. Not only will he get Davina back, he has forgiven himself as well.

What an incredible feeling.

Without Raka knowing…

Until the day changes, Davina doesn't come to him either…
