Trapped By The Devil
The Albrecht

Davina received a red rose from the courier that afternoon with great pleasure. He already knew who the flower was from without having to open a card inserted between the flower stalks.

“Nikolas?” ask Yuni.

Davina smiled, mysteriously. Even if she was put on a gun, she would not tell Yuni who the flowers were from.

He walked away, placed the flowers on a table, and read the letter in the corner of the room.

(Always) you're…

(Always) you…

Davina smiled. That's right the guess!

Rabbet. He always made her feel special. Happy, and at the same time dangerous!

“Davina!” Someone called.

Davina.

“There is your future husband,” the man said as he pointed at the backstage entrance.

Some of the people in the room immediately cheered seductively at Davina. He secretly glanced at Yuni. Now Yuni must have known that the sender of flowers is not his best friend. Nikolas is unlikely to give flowers if he has time to be present in the backstage.

Yuni now seemed to be only shaking her head in silence. Davina has no defense. And don't want to defend yourself anyway. So, he ignored Yuni's vexation and walked towards Nicholas.

“Hai,” greet Nikolas, as soon as Davina meets him.

“Hai, Nik.”

“How do you feel?” ask the man.

“Excited. But nervous too.”

“Definitely succeeded!” nikolas said, sure.

Davina smiled. It was this man who had always believed in his dreams about Espoir from the very beginning. He was the one who always pushed Davina to this point. And Davina will always be grateful for that.

“Thanks, Nik,” says Davina, sincere.

Nicholas smile. And the topic of conversation is over. They looked clumsy for a while, until Nicholas finally said something.

“My mom came,” said.

Davina chose not to answer, only to nod. He understood the purpose for which Nicholas had said it. Nikolas just wanted to show Davina that Angel also supports this art show.

But, in her heart, Davina always knew that being a ballet teacher would never boast for Angel.

“I wait in my apartment later tonight, not at Mama's house.” Nikolas reminded. Deliberately hanging up her sentence, waiting for a reaction from Davina.

But the woman simply flinched, not responding to anything. Nicholas smiled a little.

“I go first,” said Nikolas, finally.

“Oke.”

Nicholas turned around, leaving Davina. After Nicholas completely disappeared, Davina went back into the room.

Yuni was waiting for him.

"Are they from Raka?" ask Yuni.

"Yes" Davina replied.

"Dav"

Not yet Yuni chatted at length, Davina immediately cut her sentence.

"You know what makes me this way, Yun, you know..." Davina passed, leaving Yuni.

Maybe Yuni was once his best friend in France. But when faced with Davina and Nicholas' relationship, Yuni was still a friend of Nicholas who would always defend him, no matter what. And Davina doesn't need to hear supporters from any side. He already has his choice.

Show's starting. Davina watched Tiara dance Giselle from backstage in amazement. His favorite protege danced gracefully, with all earnestness. Reminds Davina of the times she was busy competing everywhere. Reminds him of Paris. A million memories for him.

Davina smiled.

For everything there is a time. To forgive and receive. This is the perfect time to really leave everything behind and accept all circumstances. With great determination, Davina locked it in a box of memories of the past and promised not to open the box again.

Because this is where Davina is. Finding his other dream. Teaching, injecting dreams and passion that he used to have for his students. Proudly, looking at Tiara who was giving her best performance. As Giselle, a role that is not at all easy for women as young as Tiara.

Davina turned to observing Ivan. The Albrecht. Which makes Giselle's life a mess. Deceiving Giselle and letting her get hurt, full of sadness.

Davina then watched the spectator bench. On the front bench sat Albrecht for Davina. The man had already hurt her in such a way, leaving her more than once. However, it is to him that Davina's heart is always fixed.

Then, in the same line, not far from the line, there was the Hillarion for him. A man who has become his comfort zone. Who helped him all this time. And to him was a great gratitude Davina expressed.

Two men are precious. He taught her a lot of lessons. And he wouldn't want it if the two precious men were constantly confused by his attitude.

Davina closed her eyes, pervaded and heard her heart speak. He made a choice from the beginning. No one can shake that choice anymore.

However, all the feelings he had only realized at this moment when he saw Tiara dancing, made him come to his senses.

It took him a long time to forgive everything. He knew how hard it was to forget someone when he didn't get a proper farewell. So, he needs to do it.

According to the wise man, when one door is closed, the other opens. If the logic is reversed, then, when Davina wants to open a new door, she must also close the old door.

And when the event was over, when everyone congratulated him, when Nicholas hugged him, his eyes were looking for someone. And finally, he found it. Stand there Raka.

He smiled meaningfully.

Davina smiled back. Ah, his entire heart was still completely possessed by that man.

***

Davina let the two men go home first from her. He said he would choose. And they'll really know the answer tonight.

The clock has shown at one in the morning when all his activities are in order. He thanked everyone, then stepped into his car. He already knows his purpose.

He didn't care how late it was, he drove his car to his destination. To an apartment.

Many times he pressed the bell, but it was not opened. From between the doors, he could see that the lights inside were out, meaning there was no one inside.

Davina thought for a moment. Where about this guy went.

He looked back at the clock.

He doesn't have time anymore!

A place suddenly flashed through his mind. Davina's body trembled as soon as she remembered it. He immediately drove his car to the place.

His face was pale, hoping that none of this was true. His intention to come, really good. Don't let everything be ruined!

Shortly after, he arrived at an office.

Tedjakusuma Company.

Davina parked the car just like that. Then, immediately ran towards Nikolas's room.

Davina's body trembled as soon as she saw the lights still on. Actually his body refused when his hand reached the doorknob. However, he did not want to deceive himself anymore.

The incident in Bandung is not just a mistake, but something that has been done many times! He must see it with his own eyes!

After this, the road will be easier...

And he opened that door...

And true is...

Nicholas was doing something inappropriate with Sienna, the secretary.

Davina's stunned. He always makes mistakes.

Nicholas the Albrecht in his life. Not Raka.
