Aira's Choice Man

The Eps 29

Kei sat quietly beside Airez on a flight to America in business class. The time difference of more than 13 hours did not make Kei waver in the least. His resolve is round. He will leave all his memories behind him and start a new life, in a new place.

Aira had already tried every means to persuade him for two days, but Kei really did not want to return. He was saddened by what Devano had said. Moreover, he was ashamed of what he had done. He'll forget Devano forever. At least he'll try.

Airez looked at Kei beside him. The girl stared blankly out the window. His eyes were sad, his cheerfulness faded, his spirit lost. Not even if the girl talks. "Key. Are you all right?" Tanya Airez was worried. Aira told Airez everything the night before they left.

Kei smiled weakly. "I'm fine Airez. Thanks. Aira must have told you everything." Vibrant speech. "I don't want to talk about it, if I may."

"Of course, baby." Airez nodded. "Don't worry Kei, I'm on your side." Airez said and only smiled at Kei.

Kei felt fragile. Heart's empty. But he was trying to look tough and it drained his energy. He wanted to sleep, but his eyes refused to shut. He wanted to forget everything that happened a few days ago, but his brain did not let him.

Kei vividly remembered his place, the atmosphere, and his words. He can even repeat it without leaving a dot and a comma, complete with the intonation Devano uses when speaking. He repeated it dozens of times in his head so that he would not hesitate to leave. In the end he used it to give himself a boost.

Not even Kei cried. I don't know why but Kei's tears are like they are drying up in his heartache. Although he wanted to cry, there was nothing he could do about his tears that seemed to have run out.

After nearly 11 hours of travel that felt like an eternity, Kei finally set foot in the furthest spot of Devano. Far from the source of his heartache. Far from the memories of her teenage love. However, suddenly clear and salty tears flowed profusely wet his cheeks. Makes it tight and numb. The fortress of stubbornness that he had held for days was instantly crushed to pieces with his broken heart. He sobbed in Airez's chest that could only hug him.

Airez does not ask, does not judge. He was just trying to calm her down. "It's okay Kei. Cry as much as you can." He hugged his cousin's sister.

More than two weeks have passed since the unfortunate incident at the villa. The day that should have been a joy to celebrate the success of his duet with Kei, instantly turned into a disaster. Kei disappears and Erigo no longer talks to him outside of work.

Devano was glued to see a copy of the monthly schedule of Mousent artists. His eyes stared pushyly at Kei Monita's schedule. There's nothing there until next month, not even until the end of the year. Devano.

For weeks he tried to contact Kei, sending dozens of apology messages, and even asking his manager. His phone is off, Kei is neither in his dorm nor in his apartment. The manager just said he didn't know where Devano felt was impossible.

Devano had already tried asking Aira, but the girl also refused to tell him. Devano was upset by himself.

Devano never thought that losing Kei would bother him more than when Kei followed him.

Devano began to moody, his mood deteriorating. Kei's existence for several months by his side while working on a joint project, slowly makes him attached to the girl without realizing it. Even when he thought that seeing Aira walking affectionately beside Erigo made him disappointed and angry, Kei's absence around him even made him more disappointed and angrier.

The worst part comes as he spends the nights remembering his friendship with Kei. He was beginning to miss the girl. Missed her smile, her cheerfulness and her spirit.

How could he ever think that Kei was a bully?

He deserves to be hated for his words towards Kei. Devano realizes it and he hates himself even more.

Not to mention the trouble with his best friend, Erigo, who got them into a cold war for several weeks. He felt better if Erigo just hit him. His head was already throbbing at the thought of how stupid he was.

Winne sees a striking change in Devano's attitude. He felt sorry, but on the other hand, Kei asked that no one tell Devano where the girl was going. Kei really wants to disappear from Devano's life.

"I want us to talk about this now before things go awry" he said. "Who wants to talk first?" Ask.

"I hate you." Erigo said directly.

"Thanks. That's a huge relief." Devano said cynically.

Erigo's eyes narrowed. "I'd really like to hit you." Cetus Erigo's.

"You can do it." Devano said defiantly.

Erigo smiled obliquely. "No. I won't try to ease your guilt by hitting you. You deserve to be tormented for your own stupidity." Erigo said again.

Devano chuckled in frustration. "Why? Why won't you hit me, huh? Just hit me. Hit me!" Devano shouted furiously. He turned the small table that separated him and Erigo.

Devano pulls Erigo's collar "You complicate Erigo's life. Because of you, I lost Aira. And now I'm losing Kei. I hate you Erigo. This is all driving me crazy!!"

Erigo forcibly takes off Devano's hand and blows a hard blow at his best friend's jaw. "You stupid Dev!" Angry talk.

Devano returned Erigo's punch at the same spot. "I know, goddamn it!" Her speech.

They clutch each other, push each other, curse each other and hit each other several times. Yansen and Toddy eventually broke up. They had enough of each other's annoyance. "Stop you fucking. Even your bodies are bigger than mine, :_!-_)#-_." Yansen is both.

Devano sat on the floor wiping off the blood at the corner of his lips. He chuckled "It makes me feel better." Said gasping.

"Fuck you Devano. I feel better too." Said Erigo who was holding his knee while regulating his breathing. He helped Devano stand up.

Yansen continued to curse to see the two people make up after a fistfight. While Toddy laughed at the battered two.

"What are you gonna do with that bruised face, you crazy son of a bitch." Her speech.

Erigo groaned holding his painful cheekbones. "Dam. Aira will grumble me all out." Her speech.

"I'm going to complain to him, so he's going to turn to me." Devano.

Erigo looked at him "You want to die?" He asked and immediately cursed at Devano.

Toddy and Yansen chuckled while Erigo and Devano could only chuckle a little as his entire face hurt.

Devano looked at Erigo. "Tell me, what should I do now?" Ask slowly.

"What about?" Erigo asked not understanding.

"On Kei"
