Trapped By The Devil
The vanity in Life

Morning's approaching. Finally, Davina was able to force herself to move her muscles that were so stiff. Yesterday, he had been torturing himself all day. It was time for him to get out of this bed and meet his family. He did not want to be a burden of thought anymore for his parents and brother. But whatever it is, he must rise. At least, he should be decent.

He immediately cleaned himself in the bathroom. He tried to avoid the mirror this morning, but he had a glimpse of the image of his face as it passed through the mirror. His face still looks dirty and puffy. A smile will fix everything.

Before he got out of his room, he deliberately told Espoir that he would not come there today. Maybe he'll take another sabbatical. This time, he wanted to be selfish. After all, their ballet show is over and very successful. It's okay for the next week, Davina disappeared for a moment, styling herself and arranging her heart.

He wishes...

No one realized the misfortune of his life. Her marriage failed, now finding a future husband sleeping with another woman. Davina's life is like a cheap soap opera. Not to make others sad and regret his fate, but instead will laugh at his every misfortune.

Davina sighed. It was enough that he had self-pity. He has to get out of this room.

He also stepped towards the door of the room. When his hand reached the doorknob, he tried to convince himself that there was only his family out there. Who will not judge every futility in his life. This is the safest place, the safest place. It is precisely they who will be firm supporters.

Davina finally opened the door. Shocked when he saw Mbak Nur walking towards his room while carrying a breakfast tray.

"Eh, Ma'am, would you like another breakfast?" ask Mbak Nur.

"Yes, Mother. Sorry yeah. Here I am the one who brought it."

"That's okay, ma'am. I'm taking it back to the dining room."

They also walked to the dining room. There is only silence. Ma'am Nur did not try to pay attention or comfort him. And Davina likes it. Being with people who don't know the problems in their lives is fun.

Upon arriving at the dining room, everyone gasped as Davina appeared.

"Tanteeeeeeee!" Keysha who regained consciousness first, immediately ran towards Davina.

Davina stretched out her arms to hug her beloved niece.

"Keeeeey kangeeeeen tahuuu!" said Keysha, with anxiety, as soon as Davina grabbed her tiny body.

"Kan Aunty here. If you miss, why don't you come to Aunt's room?" Davina menguyel-nguyel cheeks Keysha.

"Key wants to come, hug. But Mama said, Auntie's busy in the room." Keysha answered innocently.

Davina threw a smile at Rara. Her brother was so wise, not telling anything confusing to this little boy.

Then suddenly Keysha's tiny hands touched Davina's cheeks.

"Tante, don't be sad anymore."

Everyone is stunned.

"Oath! I didn't say anything!" Rara raised both her hands.

Everyone knows Rara is right. However, Keysha has always been the most seasoned child. You can follow the papa. But her personality is entirely Rara. Little key can even tell when a new person is crying? The sensibility of young children is sometimes beyond the logic of thinking!

"Kok Key knows the hell Auntie's sad again?" ask Davina.

Keysha just shook his shoulders, and his hands now hugged Davina's neck.

"Ooooh..." Diana could not help her sense of smell.

Davina's tears are spreading. But, he quickly mastered himself so that his nephew did not see him cry. Even though these are haru's tears.

Long Keysha hugged his aunt. Like wanting to channel a lot of calm to Davina.

Quietly, Davina observed her entire family.

What did he say?

She wants one aspect of her life to be perfect, which is Niko?

So stupid.

Again futility in life!

He already has something perfect in his life. Namely, family. Yep. In the end, it is the family that will always be there for us.

As soon as Keysha took off her arms, they rejoined her at the dinner table. His brother-in-law immediately gave a seat next to Dave to his son.

"Thank you, Bang," said Davina.

Her brother-in-law smiled back. The owner of the most shady smile.

Then a hand reached out to pat Davina's back.

Her papa.

Davina smiled.

Without needing to say anything, she already knew that her Papa was encouraging her. And Davina will always be grateful for that.

***

"Sir, Ma..." Davina called Dave and Diana suddenly.

"Yes, Honey?"

"Let's call off the engagement," said Davina, steady.

(Come cancel the engagement.)

They all looked at Davina.

"Are you sure?"

Davina nodded.

"okay." Dave and Davina agree. No one can get them to approve of Davina and Nikolas' marriage anymore. But they just want Davina to decide. And they were very happy that Davina agreed with them.

"Where is the cancellation? We have to come or–" Davina can't go through with the sentence because Dave just cut the sentence off.

"That, you don't have to think, Dav. Let Papa be the same Mama who thinks," said Dave.

Davina nodded. He can always count on his family.

"You're focused on a broken heart." Diana ruffled her daughter's hair.

"So, just focus on crying-sleep-eating?"

Diana nodded, with a soft look. His mother was most able to make everything sound normal and natural.

"Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Ma." Davina smiled.

"Thanks, Rara's sister." Rara quips.

Davina laughed too.

He immediately wrestled spoiled to Rara. He put his hands around his neck.

"Greatest kakaaaak of lueeee!" She kissed Rara's cheek.

"Yuhhhh, you bauuu, Dav!" Rara tried to avoid.

Everyone laughs.

It is true that all this time Davina always pursued the futile. He thought Nicholas was his most comfortable place. In fact, everything is here.

What a waste in life.

Suddenly the house bell rang. They're all stunned.

Mbak Nur immediately ran to open the door, but Rara immediately ran after him. He had already selected whoever the guest was about to point in from yesterday.

"When is he coming?" ask Davina.

Dave and Diana compactly shook their heads.

"Where dare he. Want to be thumped sekampung?" Diana squeezed his hand.

Davina laughs. My mother can act barbaric if needed.

Shortly after, Rara appears in the living room doorway. With someone. Rara looks tugging at the hand of the person as if not also managed to defeat his strength.

The man met Davina's eyes.

"Where are you going?" Raka asked in a loud voice. His tone was full of emotion and full of frustration.

Davina did not answer.

Just stunned.

Ah, there's one more...

That will never be a waste in his life.
