Trapped By The Devil
Again, Maybe For the Last Time
Raka observed his cell phone long ago. The message had already been read, but there was no sign Davina would return the message.
Raka didn't know what to do. He just lay in his bed. He didn't make the slightest move. A broken heart made him completely lose any passion.
A few hours later, the door to his room was suddenly slashed.
“Rakaaaaaa!!! Rakaaaaaa!!” Nayla screamed in fear.
Raka frowned. Feeling ignored, Nayla banged even tighter. Raka quickly opened the door before her mother broke down the door.
“Why, Ma?” ask Raka, confused.
Nayla hugged her son.
“Why are you daritadi kok not reply???”
“Hah?”
“Daritadi mama talked from outside, you didn't answer.”
“Raka not hearder..”
“Long!”
“Oath, Ma!”
“You don't think weird, do you?”
Raka shook her head, relaxing all her muscles in Nayla's arms as she said, “But how does it feel like kayaking to die, Ma..”
“Rakaaaa!!! Kamh tuh if rejected by girls do not immediately think of suicide!!!” Nayla takes care of her emotions.
“Eh??”
“You can find girls besides Davina, Ka. You don't gini dong.” Nayla is hysterical.
“Maaaa, Raka does not want to kill herself..”.
“Continue saying dead???” Nayla's mad.
“Yeah, Raka is just frustrated! Raka's mind is not that narrow as well, Ma,” complained Raka.
Nayla loosened her embrace, then observed Raka. And there are no lies there.
“Never think of a macem-macem yes, Ka!” Nayla reminded Raka, stroking her cheek.
“Iya, Ma.”
“Promise Mama!”
“Iyaaaa! Geez!”
Nayla also released her embrace from Raka. But the dajjal boy pulled Nayla back into his arms.
“Ma, if Raka really loses Davina how do ya?” Raka muttered on her mother's shoulder.
Nayla stroked Raka's back, “Yes already, you relain aja.”
“Weight not?”
“Mama used to move to Sumba a month after breaking up from Papa.” Nayla.
“Keep so forget?”
“Neg. It even so can't stop thinking.”
“Terus, Raka should how?”
“Meet Davina once again.”
“Terus?”
“Continue, you and Davina will know what you both really want when you meet.”
“But he has chosen Niko, Ma.”
“Ka, Davina came with you to this house a few days ago. Now Mama asks if it means nothing at all?”
“Mama don't make Raka hope.”
“But even if Davina stays with Niko, you have to be sincere. The most important thing of loving is to see her happy.”
“Although that means Raka is suffering?”
“Although that means we suffer..”.
Raka hugged Nayla tighter and tighter.
“Duh, my son could also be upset because of the girl.” Nayla laughs.
“Davina anyway, try to choose someone else. There is a handsome kayak gini as well.”
Nayla immediately took off her embrace. Then, walk away leaving her child.
“You have no treatment!”
Raka smiled slightly seeing her mother leave. No one knew, this he did only to rebuild the remnants of his pride.

Raka went into papa's room and her mother's room early in the morning.
“Ma, Pa, Raka go home first yes.”
“Kok early in the morning, Ka?” ask Nayla. His eyes narrowed, not used to the light. It seemed like he and Azel were still not a hundred percent conscious.
“There is an office townhall, Raka forgot..”.
“OK. Yes, be careful yes.”
Raka nodded, then walked out. But just as he grabbed the doorknob, Azel had already called out his name again. Raka also looked.
“When do you want to see Davina again?”
Raka stunned.
Azel and Nayla are waiting.
“She hasn't responded to chat Raka.” Raka evasive.
“Emang you don't know where Davina's house is?
Raka can't lie anymore.
“Raka go first...” He also quickly left his parents' room.
From the beginning Raka did not need Davina's approval to come to her home, her office, Paris. Why does Raka now need Davina's permission just to get to her?
Raka hates to admit it. But he is just not ready. Meeting Davina is like realizing her biggest fear. It's like confirming that he has indeed lost Davina completely. That Davina had chosen, and the choice of her beloved woman was not her…

Raka arrived at his office at exactly nine in the morning. As usual townhall is held in one hall that is not too big, inside the Creature office.
As usual, townhall is held to tell all employees about how the company has performed for some time to youth, as well as provide additional information about the company itself.
One of the agendas is related to the acquisition of Creature by one of the giant technology companies. It is expected that with all of this, employees are more eager to provide the best performance for the company.
As usual, townhall opens with a little talk from Raka. As a leader, whatever is in this heart must be hidden. Raka might be able to make jokes or serious advice at this time. However, the real mind contains only Davina.
After Raka, Liana replaced to reflect on how Creature has performed over the past year financially. What they have achieved, and what is the target in the future.
After that, it was Tia's turn to take over. And this is what they were all waiting for, as per the rumors circulating among the employees these few days.
Eventually, they would hear the higher-ups officially reveal that they would be joining Olsen.
And amazingly, Tia managed to bring Julia that morning to Creature. Everyone immediately nodded happily.
As always, Julia was as charming as ever. She looked warm and very enthusiastic, making all the attention on her.
Raka was stunned to see the two women standing next to him. Both Julia and Tia are two beautiful and single women in Raka's life. Like Davina, they are typical independent women who know about what they want to do in life.
Then Raka looked again at the people around him. There are so many beautiful women, who have not realized Raka's existence. The whole quality of Davina can be on anyone. His position should be very easy to replace anyone.
Yet…
What Raka has never realized over the past two years, is that Davina has made other women bland for Raka. Since their painful separation, secretly, Raka always awaits when Davina finally returns to her life.
For throughout his life, Raka's heart will know only one woman.
And she is Davina.
No matter what the world says, whoever the beautiful women around him are, Raka will love only one woman. And Davina needs to know that.
Raka really just needs Davina to know. After that, he will be able to let it go. Because he wants Davina to be happy, with or without him.
Raka could not wait for the entire series to end. Because Raka knew what she had to do next.
He has to go see Davina.
Once more.
Maybe for the last time.
For broken hearts as dry as possible.
To destroy itself.
To let Davina, this time, really say goodbye to him.
Raka is ready.
