That day, though my heart was broken and wounded, I still saw at least a small light that I could hold in my hand, at least when the person I loved most betrayed me and left me, there is still Dika who was sent by God to accompany me.
That same day Dika brought me home to his residence and he asked me to stay with him from that moment on and he even told his mother that he would propose to me, hearing that, of course, Mrs Michael was very happy and she said she would be home in two days after finishing all her business there.
And to the next morning Dika took me to go prepare everything for our engagement, she took me to a famous boutique in the city and she told the waiter there to give her her best dress for me but unfortunately the waiter said that the dress was the latest and best in the city sana has been taken by Miss Keysa who is none other than Devinka's fiancee.
"Sorry sir, but our dress was ordered by Miss Keysa she came here a few minutes earlier with you and she tried it, I will prepare another dress that is just as good" said the waiter.
We relented even though I knew Dika looked a little upset, I also held her hand because I did not want her to get angry or make a fuss in such a public place, until when we were looking at another dress neatly lined up in the boutique, Devinka and Keysa suddenly came to me and Dika.
They also showed me affection, but it didn't make me sick because the pain of being betrayed and being lied to was much more painful than this and I was able to get through it in one night.
"Eh.... Honey look it turns out this couple also shop here well, by the way which dress you guys choose I can pay for it for you guys and just think of it as a gift for your engagement later" said Keysa who was impressed like looking down on me and Dika,
"No need Miss Keysa, I can still afford it" Reply Dika firmly, saying,
"Yes Miss Keysa thank you in advance for your generosity, but I also want to feel and wear the clothes that my lover bought me, and feel his affection always, it would be bad if you bought it" I refused gently, though,
"Alright, hope your show is smooth, let's love we go from here, my dress has also been paid for" Keysa said as he continued to hug Devinka's hand.
But when Keysa invited Devinka to leave she just kept quiet and kept staring at me which at that time I did not realize because I was busy seeing the dress that was there with Dika.
Until suddenly Devinka even threw Keysa and walked towards me then he held my hand firmly and said the inappropriate before his future wife.
"Elisha... Are you not at all sorry, did you not feel any pain at all when our relationship ended? Elisha look at me, man, I've never loved her I only love you Elisha even if I have to die because of you I'm more willing that way than to marry a woman like her and I hate to see you close to Dika!" Devinka said with a face full of emotion.
Devinka looked at me very sharply and I could see the emotion and the love so great in her eyes I knew she loved me so much and I knew she was the only one occupying the dark side in my heart, Devinka has a special place in my heart even though Dika tries to occupy that place.
I looked towards Keysa who looked very angry and he immediately pulled Devinka's hand and tried to release her hand from my grasp.
"Devinka what are you doing to get that woman's hand off, she's Dika's fiance, what's wrong with you?" Keysa snapped very hard at Devinka and kept trying to pull Devinka's hand which was holding mine.
But Devinka just threw Keysa's hand instead of releasing my hand, and it made me very surprised to see Keysa fall to the ground quite hard, I can't stand watching Devinka being rude to her own future wife.
I immediately threw Devinka's hand and slapped her in front of Dika and Keysa to let them know that I wasn't trying to tease Devinka in the least.
"Plakkp.... Devinka you're too much, why would you do that to your own master? Are you not a man, I hate you even more!" I said as I immediately helped Keysa stand up.
I thought Keysa wouldn't be mad at me but instead he was rude and slapped me when I was about to help him stand up.
"Plac.... Basic lady j*Lang, how dare you slap my future husband, feel it just think it's a reply from the pain that Devinka felt because of your slap earlier" he said cynically and stand alone.
Then he immediately pulled Devinka out of there as soon as possible.
"Darling if you're okay, let's get out of here they're lowly humans" Keysa told me, and Dika helped me up.
"Lisa are you okay, wait here I won't let them go so easily" said Dika who immediately held Keysa's hand and he almost slapped Keysa's face but Devinka immediately held it.
"Keysa feel this" said Dika and raised his hand.
I ran trying to hold Dika back from replying to them again but when I saw Dika's hand that almost slapped Keysa was held by Devinka firmly and my heart felt pain when I saw Devinka defending the woman, I was also hit by a slap and she did not try to hold the woman's hand when she slapped me earlier.
It was even Dika who was emotional and did not accept, even Dika wanted to reply to the woman for slapping me.
"Devinka why are you holding me back? Shouldn't you teach him a lesson, he slapped Elisha!" Snapped Dika to Devinka while throwing her hand,
"Why did I scold Keysa, she deserved to get a slap because she slapped me too, and you... I'm warning you no one will touch my bride except me!" Snapped Devinka with a sharp look in the eye.
My heart was again broken when I heard the words coming out of Devinka's mouth I immediately walked lethargic towards them.
"Devinka I'm glad you finally realized, and for everything you said just now I've come to understand that I'm not the one destined for you, let's just go" I said while holding Dika's hand and immediately left her.
The pain in my cheek from Keysa's slap was nothing compared to the pain in my heart that Devinka had so many times broken, she never seemed to see me calm and happy for a moment, she always haunted me and my head, I loved her so much but she always made me hate her.
In the car I just silently looked ahead lethargicly and Dika took me to her cafe she served me a drink just like she often did to comfort me and make me calmer.
"Have forgotten Devinka, I will make you happy Elisha I will never make you cry" said Dika as she wiped the remaining tears on my face.
I really had to hear Dika's words and she was very kind to me at all times.
"Why is it possible that I've been blind all this time? Why would I choose Devinka over you?" I said as I stared at Dika and drank the drink he gave me.
Dika just smiled and she blushed a little with my words just now then she grabbed my hand and held it tightly then she took something out of her clothing pocket and it was a red bracelet.
"Elisa you're not blind, it's just that I'm not brave enough to snatch it from Devinka, from now on I'll tie you up with me using this fate bracelet, when you wear it and I also wear the same bracelet fate will always bring us together" he said while putting the bracelet in my hand.
I smiled happily and looked at the bracelet which was quite pretty even though the name sounded very strange.
We talked together and enjoyed the food that was there for a while until we finally decided to go home and rest.
It was quite tiring and consumed a lot of energy from morning to night, passing a very hard day for me and Dika, seeing Devinka uncontrollable like that made me think about it again.
I wonder why she's protecting Keysa when she tells me that she doesn't want to marry Keysa, she really looks weird because she's fickle and doesn't have the slightest stand.
"CRC... Basic Devinka's planless she wants me back to her but she won't let go of Keysa, what the fuck is man, no, did he just think of me as his mistress and he married Keysa and everyone knew it. It sucks!" My gertutuku continue to feel annoyed.
Maybe me and Devinka are destined to be enemies not spouses let alone life partners, I was the one who crossed the line with her and used her feelings to love her and became close friends with her until we decided to be a couple.
Though it was clear from a long time ago that he and I were mortal enemies that could not be separated, I should be able to keep my distance from him and not bring feelings to him, he was a fucking jerk and never changed with his temperament.
"Baaahh... Whatever Elisha you think of that stupid man for, I better focus on being with Dika and I should choose Dika for giving her my first kiss" my words again chimed in my mind that just kept penetrating.
I immediately went to bed that night and forgot all the problems that happened to me today, until the next morning Reksa came to Dika's house and he said that the mistress Merisa had arrived, and that she had, I who was sitting at the table and enjoying breakfast with Dika did not understand and could only stare in a daze when I saw Reksa barging in with breath and saying that mrs Merisa is back.
"Well... Huh... Hah, this dangerous Dika, madam Merisa is back!" Muta said and made Dika immediately stop eating him he also looked as shocked as Reksa.
His eyes widened and he immediately stood up and went to pick up his suit and immediately left with Reksa.
"Elisa you stay here remember do not go to see Devinka let alone go to the office yes I will be back soon" said Dika looks panicked and rushed.
They just left, leaving me who was still staring in wonder and confusion.
"Where are they really going? Strange base, who the hell is Miss Merisa?" I continued with my breakfast.
Because I'm tired of being home alone and not doing anything, Ms. Michael hasn't come back yet, finally I decided to turn on the television and see all the channels in the broadcast was the same news.
And when he saw it in the news was also busy talking about the return of Madam Merisa owner of CTN Group company where she is also a famous reporter of her time who married the founder of the big company to date.
And I saw also heard it clearly that it turned out that the mistress Merisa was the mother of Devinka they were seen hugging at the front gate of the company, which was, I was surprised to not think that my idol woman had been the mother of the man I loved and the mother of the man who broke my heart.
I immediately turned off the broadcast and now I understand why He and Reksa looked so panicked and rushed when they found out that Madam Merisa was back, apparently the mistress of Merisa whom they meant was Devinka's mother.
"It turns out he... Why Devinka never told me, why I never knew anything about her, I was like a mistress to her" I said, bowing in lethargy and lamenting my fate.
Just now I was about to start a new beginning and a better life but it just looked more chaotic and there was no bright spot for me anymore.
I feel lost in the middle of a jungle so lush that it is difficult to get out of there or just find a way to return, it feels like my chest is very crowded when it knows all the truth, he said, all this time I only knew Devinka was a wealthy, influential person in this city.
I never found out anything about him because he didn't like it either every time I asked him about his family and everything about him, though I just want to know more about the people I love, but Devinka has been hiding everything from me for a long time.
About who her mother was and why she could get everything so easily, now I know why it used to be when Devinka and Reksa interns were given special rooms for those who were very nice and spacious also had many facilities in it.
In fact they never do their job and just sit back and relax even play games in there with satisfaction, while I must try desperately to do my work in a minimalist room inhabited by four people, he also always looks free to enter at any time and do everything as he pleases.
It turned out that it was his company and the mistress Merisa a legendary former reporter was his mother.
"If he made me his mistress, someone like me would not be worthy to be with such a famous and wealthy family" I said, exhaling heavily.
I was fully aware and I immediately went to burn all my photos together, all the photos on my phone that showed Devinka's face I removed completely as well as the photos I had printed.
I took everything and burned the photo next to Dika's house where there was a trash can big enough of iron that I could throw all the gifts out of her, starting from the beautiful dress I wore at graduation also high heels and some photos of her that I have.
Devinka's smile that I really liked was gone in the flames, I had to forget her completely and could not leave any memories of her in the slightest.
"I'm sorry Devinka, I don't hate you but I just don't want to drag on in grief, you don't think about me, do you? So for me I thought about it and kept all these sweet memories" I said to myself as I continued to insert the photos one by one.
