"Devinka you're nothing, I want to go in" I said as I threw out her hand that had held my hand before,
"Who will allow you to sit in the back with Mutual?, sitting in the front" he said flatly and commandingly.
He got into the car and I had to obey his orders to sit in front of him again, he took us to a restaurant that was quite luxurious not far from there, Muta looked much better and he rushed out of the car because he could not bear to go to the bathroom.
He went inside the restaurant first while holding the front of his and left me with Devinka behind.
"It looks like he's fine" chirped at me who saw Reksa running so fast.
I almost got knocked over by him when he got out of the car and left the car door open so he didn't want to go to the toilet, while Devinka immediately invited me to go inside and we sat together facing each other.
The atmosphere began to feel awkward especially when the waiter there thought me and Devinka as a couple and he asked us to take a picture together.
"Excuse me, sister, can we take a picture of you there, there is a Valentine's Day celebration, so we are photographing the most compatible couple here" the waiter asked for permission.
Devinka and I looked at each other and we were confused how to explain to the waiter that we were not actually a couple, but Devinka nodded, making the waiter even more curious.
He immediately pulled me and took me to the edge of the photo spot at the restaurant with another couple who were also doing a photo shoot there.
"Devinka are you crazy, we're not a couple what do you want to do?" I whispered to him while pinching his waist a little bit,
"A..aaaw.aish.why do you want to hurt me, this is just a photo why you should worry, just follow" he said casually.
Until our turn came and they dressed me and Devinka and took pictures of us several times and told me to pose very close to Devinka even they kept telling me to make a heart with Devinka and the most outrageous thing they even praised us as the most romantic and harmonious couple they photographed during Valentine's Day every year.
I was really embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it until they finally set me free and gave our table a gnarly meal with so many menus available there.
Muta, who had just returned from the toilet, was shocked to open his eyes wide when he saw the table was filled with various dishes to almost eat all the places on the table.
"Waaahh...Devinka are we having a party? Why so much like this?" Ask Reksa while immediately sitting next to me.
I immediately looked down embarrassed not to know anymore how to explain it to Reksa but Devinka said it first, so that Reksa actually followed her to take pictures with me and Devinka.
"I.aahh.that's...already it's free food because we take pictures of couples there" said Devinka while pointing to the end of the shooting.
Seen there are also several other couples who were photographed by the store employees and the couple was given a super much menu as well, exactly the same as the one on their table.
"Aahahaha...wah..wah...you are indeed a couple of fortune bearers, if so I can take pictures with this attractive couple" said Reksa teasing me and Devinka.
I was really very upset and could only shake my head by tightening my teeth strongly while Devinka instead looked calm, these two of them were indeed human beings without shame, so I can't keep up with them both.
Reksa continued to force me to take pictures with him and was forced to smile in the photo because I did not want to be hurt again by them, after taking pictures on our Mutual cell phone we began to enjoy the food.
Photographs of three of them.
All the dishes were very delicious and amazing the three of us could not even spend all the menu available there and after satisfied eating we immediately went home Reksa and Devinka delivered me first but judging from Devinka's face she kept looking at me and held my hand before I got out of the car.
He seemed to want to tell me something but I myself did not know what he wanted to talk about.
"Wait" he said holding my hand,
"What's wrong?" I turned to him right away, towards him,
"A.ahhhh, no, there you go" she replied.
I felt strange and immediately came out but just a few steps away I went Devinka suddenly called me and when I turned around she immediately hugged me tightly and Reksa was seen standing next to the car not far away from where I stand.
"Eh.... Devinka what's wrong with you? Release!" I said firmly while pushing her body slightly keeping her distance from me.
"Say what's wrong with you, why do you look weird today?" I asked him in surprise,
"I want you to know, if I like you, Elisha, I like you" she said with sparkling eyes and she grabbed my hands quickly.
I was speechless and could only stare at her with an erratic feeling, she made me very shocked and too shocked to hear a sudden declaration of love in a place like this.
At that time I thought he was just teasing me because there was also Mutual there so I didn't take his words too seriously and I immediately pulled my hand back slowly.
"Ahaha....Devinka you're kidding well, don't confuse me you're nothing at all" I smiled awkwardly.
"I'm serious Elisa, I really like you and really like you. I know this may sound strange to you but I'm not lying or teasing you look at it, Muta is standing there and she will be a witness that right now, right now, she said, this moment and today I express my feelings for you, I love you Elisha" he said with an earnest look.
I started to get nervous and didn't know what to react to, but I also liked him but I remember what he said earlier that I wasn't his type and he didn't like me.
"Devinka don't lie to me and don't play me like this, I know and hear for yourself that you don't like me, you just feel sorry for me right?" I asked him, please,
"Elisa do you still not trust me?" Ask Devinka back, please,
"How can I trust you if yesterday I heard with my own two ears that you were speaking before all your friends and saying you only felt sorry for me, you were even willing if Dika chased after me, is that true Devinka?" I said while looking at her with pain.
Devinka did not answer me and she just bowed lethargic and exhaled a lethargic breath, she might start to remember the incident and the speech.
"Why are you keeping quiet, Devinka? Did I hear you wrong at the time or did you....." My words got stuck because Devinka suddenly just peeked at my cheek.
I was shocked and immediately widened my face and held my right cheek that was kissed by her without my permission.
"DEVINKA! You're totally nuts!" I yell at him,
"Yes Elisha I was crazy, I was crazy because of you and at that time I did say that I pity you, but that's because I'm angry with you, the fact is I still like you and I can't see you close to another man, I'm going abroad and I don't want you with Dika when I'm not around, therefore I say it now, I am only afraid first by Dika" he said while looking at me with the look of his eyes that make my heart beat fast.
I was silent and confused as to what to answer but on the other hand I was also shocked when I heard that Devinka was going back to go abroad, I was also afraid that she was far away from me, I was sad and wanted him to always be by my side.
"Devinka you're a fool!, why do you say it now when you're about to go far away?, Why Devinka?" I asked her to raise her voice, to her,
"I'm sorry I. I know it's not the right time, but I'm not forcing you to answer now, I can wait for you Elisha" Devinka replied without a doubt in her.
"Well, I'll answer it when you get back to this town again" I said, making a pact with him,
"Really?, you promised me, but you like me too, right, we'll date and be a couple right when I get back, won't we?" Devinka said enthusiastically by holding both hands.
I nodded in reply and Devinka immediately pranced with excitement she looked so happy that she even hugged me and lifted my body while spinning around, Reksa also looked at me and she gave me her thumb, I know Mutual was a good friend he always supported Devinka and I also felt very happy at that time.
It was the happiest day of my life, so I couldn't fall asleep because I kept thinking about the man named Devinka, and he even told me about his departure to the next morning, I drove him to the airport along with Reksa, Ciko and Dika.
I saw her waving at me and smiling sweetly one last time, at that time I thought he was only gone for a while just like the departure of him before so I didn't worry too much about him when he left, I also did not let him kiss my forehead for being too embarrassed to be seen by Ciko and the others.
She just hugged me and stroked my hair gently, she also returned to take the hair tie I was wearing that day, as if taking my hair tie became a habit for her.
Until a month passed, Devinka did not return either, nor did she ever give me news since she went abroad. Usually he often sends me emails or short messages in wa, he also often contacts me by video call at midnight because of the difference in time between the countries where I live and the place.
Even so one week after he left it was not a barrier to my relationship with him, even though I knew at that time we were not really officially a couple, yet, but knowing that we loved each other was enough for me and I was always happy with him.
But in the second Sunday to a month passed he had long since never given me news, not sent me messages or emails, he seemed to suddenly disappear in the swallow of the earth and all his contacts there was nothing I could contact, his social media suddenly disappeared and was never seen again.
