Trapped By The Devil
Behind The Curtain (1)

Bandung, A Week Ago…

“Nik, why are you? How silent is it?” sienna asked, stroking Nikolas' cheek.

Nikolas's gaze, which had only been on the streets, had now turned to the woman next to him.

“Nothing really,” he replied, briefly. Then, refocus on the streets.

“Lying! There must be a thought, right? Wh why? Davina again?” Sienna.

Nicholas was silent. He did not want to discuss this with Sienna at all.

Sienna sighed. She was indeed only the second woman to Nicholas, but no one in the world would like her to take precedence. She doesn't need to be treated like a real lover, just that she doesn't like the idea that her interlocutor isn't paying attention at all.

“Nik, you suddenly pick me up and take me to Bandung. Don't tell me I was invited here just nemenin you moody like this!” Sienna nagged at length.

Nikolas. He immediately held Sienna's hand. Afraid that his goal of taking Sienna to Bandung was not fulfilled.

“Sorry, accidentally.” He smiled knot.

Sienna sighed.

He knew it was only an escape when Nicholas was in trouble with Davina. And, he doesn't mind at all.

Because not someone who is looking for a serious relationship with anyone. He was quite content to just be a distraction to his languishing boss.

And, it should have been Sienna not nagging just because of a trivial matter like this.

“Where do we sleep tonight?” ask Sienna, finally.

Nikolas mentions a famous hotel in Bandung. Sienna immediately smiled. At least for the next few days, when Nikolas went to work, he could feel the spa at the hotel.

Nicholas immediately smiled as he saw the twinkle in Sienna's eyes.

“Finally, a smile!” sienna said, pointing at Nikolas's face.

(Finally, a smile!)

He was quite satisfied with Nikolas's thin smile. Soon, he was busy with his phone.

Nikolas's own views were focused again on the streets. However, his mind could not stop thinking…

Why isn't Davina like other women who are so easy to please?

***

Nicholas placed his head on Sienna's chest, curled up like a five-year-old boy to his mother. This is what Sienna is for him. Be a backrest, be a tranquilizer.

Sienna remembered exactly when this relationship first began.

The night that was supposed to be Nikolas and Davina's wedding night. Nicholas returned to his apartment with so many thoughts, his head almost breaking.

Just one more step, only one sentence left from Pastor Jefri. This should all be done. Davina should no longer be in the shadow of others.

Nicholas needed alcohol that night…

To ease his defilement.

So he called Sienna.

As a secretary who is very dedicated and willingly interrupted his time outside of work hours, Sienna also according to. He immediately drove his car to buy a bottle of his boss' favorite alcoholic drink and then drove it straight to Nikolas's apartment.

As she opened the door to her apartment, Sienna realized that her boss was dizzy.

“This order lo.” Sienna handed me the bottle.

Nikolas accepts, then says, “Thanks, Si. Sorry to disturb you at night.”

“No problem! That’s what a secretary are for!” said Sienna, sarcasm.

(No problem! That's why I have a secretary!)

Nicholas laughed a little. He can finally laugh! After a day his face and mind were just filled with tension!

Sienna was a little worried about his boss's condition. He had heard that his boss' marriage was off, though he did not know the exact cause. He was afraid there was nothing with his boss. So, he considered for a moment.

“Can I join you?” ask Sienna, doubtful.

Nicholas did not mind at all. Besides, he felt a little guilty for bothering Sienna that night.

And they sat in the living room of Nicholas' apartment…

Sienna only fished with questions a few times. And how surprised he was, as the whole story of Nicholas flowed.

Raka is a shadow of the past that Davina is hard to forget. However, he thought it was just Davina's one-sided feeling. Not welcome at all. Only that day did he realize, that Raka also had the same feelings as Davina!

He was not confident in facing that!

Nicholas' life was used to being controlled by his mother. Only Davina was a little detached from Angel's control. However, even that became chaotic.

Maybe, for the next one, he'll let Angel take on the role again. For everything that was restrained by his mother's iron hand always succeeded.

Her.

Her dad.

Their family company.

The whole!

Sienna suddenly felt pity for the male figure before her. The one from the outside looks tough, but apparently his heart needs a backrest.

Then, it all just happened.

There is never a good thing that comes with drinking alcohol. Starting from the usual clap on the back of the hand, which even continues with the pagutan lip both.

Nikolas on behalf of the vulnerability of his feelings at that time, while Sienna just filled his free time.

In the morning, when they woke up without a single piece of clothing on the bed, they immediately promised to keep it only for the two of them, to the grave. They also promised not to repeat the mistake again!

However, the situation of Nicholas who was increasingly desperate in Davina's heart just aggravated everything. Nicholas and Sienna meet again. Do it again too. Tomorrow I promise not to repeat. However, it didn't take a day, they would already do it again.

Sin is always tempting.

That's why they're here, in a hotel, tonight.

“You don't want to activate your phone? Who knows Davina called,” Sienna said.

Nikolas scolds cynically.

“So we met Raka in the condangan. I was busy talking to my business colleague, suddenly he was missing. Turns out to go alone with Raka.”

Sienna remained silent, only to leave Nikolas' hair with her fingers. In her heart, Sienna disagreed with Nicholas. After all, Nikolas foolishly gave a chance to Raka. Why is he nagging like a five-year-old just because Raka used the opportunity?

However, Sienna could not bear to open her mouth. Men who are now in his arms have feelings and levels of confidence that are actually very vulnerable.

Nikolas cannot be with Davina who also has the same vulnerable confidence. Nicholas has to be with someone as strong as his mother. As steadfast as Angel.

Because he's used to it. Are used to being controlled.

But all those thoughts were only harbored by Sienna deep in his heart. He did not want to be emotionally involved at all with Nicholas. He just needs a casual, non-binding relationship.

“Besok you work until what time?” sienna asked, distracting.

“Jam ten is also spun. Just a visit to the factory for a moment. Where are you going?” Nicholas asked back.

“Kulineran in Bandung yuk?”

“Bby.”

“Yes already, you are sleeping gih. Tomorrow should be to the factory very early in the morning.”

“Oke.”

Nicholas took off his arms from Sienna, then slept on his back.
