Aira's Choice Man

The Eps 30

Aira was shocked when she opened the door of her apartment and saw the battered faces of Erigo and Devano. One corner of her lips was bleeding, then swollen and bruised all over her face. He touched the faces of the two and frowned. "What's going on? You guys had a fight?" He asked while pulling his second hand to enter.

Erigo chuckled "We didn't fight." The answer. He stepped into the kitchen looking for ice cubes to compress the bruises on his face and Devano.

Devano nodded his buttocks on the sofa of Aira's living room. "We just made up." Speak lightly. "You got a p3k box? There is no in my house." Devano again. He tried to laugh but failed when the corners of his torn lips were attracted and caused a sting.

Erigo threw a bag of ice cubes at Devano. "Omong empty." His voice then frowned feeling the pain on part of his face. "You have. You just want to get close to my boyfriend." Say again. "Auughh shit you Dev, this hurts a lot."

Devano chuckled softly. "Bingo! I miss you, Aira." Devano looked at Aira and then smiled ignorantly.

Erigo kicked Devano's leg. The two grimaced withstanding the pain on each other's faces.

Aira who had been standing up while folding her hands on her chest was only able to shake her head in frustration at the behavior of the two.

Aira tells Winne that they are met by Toddy and Yansen to solve the problem, but Aira does not expect that they will solve it by fighting like two men with a rickety. "I'm so upset to see you both." Her speech. He picked up a p3k box stored in a hanging cabinet near the door of his dressing room.

Aira put the box on the table in annoyance. "I'm first." Devano and Erigo said.

Aira squinted at the two men in front of her. "Who said I'd take care of you? Do ityourself!" Aira ketus. He walked into the kitchen and washed his hands.

Erigo approached Aira and hugged the girl from behind. "I'm sorry. Don't be angry anymore. We made up, isn't that good? Aye right? Don't you? " She said silly. He gently kissed Aira's head who would not look at her.

Aira let go of Erigo's embrace and walked into the living room by stomping her feet. He helped Devano apply the ointment on the corner of his lips and some bruises on his face. "Look at what you're doing to each other's faces. Are you kids? Can't you talk like two adults? So ridiculous. Really ridiculous." Aira continued to nag while shaking her head in annoyance.

Devano and Erigo silently accepted Aira's nag.

"What if your nose is broken?" Aira.

"I beat him with full calculation so that his face is not damaged and his nose is not broken" Erigo said.

Devano. "Me too" he said.

Aira closed her eyes and shook her head. "Do you want to start a war with me?" cetus Aira's.

Devano grimacing. "That hurts. Slow down Aira." Her request.

Erigo raised the corner of his upper lip scoffing. "Push the strong. He punched me in the face." Erigo tried to complain.

Aira turned her head and stared fiercely.

Erigo surprised. "He's spoiled once." He said slowly because Aira was looking at him fiercely.

Aira turned back to face Devano. "Let's see I'll push your face until you're bonyok!" Cetus Aira was the target for Erigo.

Erigo groaned at the threat of Aira.

Devano got up from his seat "You have food?" Ask Aira who is applying ointment on the face of her lover, Erigo.

Aira turned while frowning. "You haven't eaten yet?" Ask. "So you're just fighting without eating?" Ask again. Aira's getting upset. "What did your leader do then?" Cecar Aira refers to Toddy.

"Don't insult him baby, you once said he was the best leader." Erigo.

"You also once worshipped him like a god." Cetus Devano's.

Aira gaped, she felt attacked and cornered. "I don't worship him like a god. I just admire him. That'sthat's all. And he's the best leader." Said nodding. "No, that's not what I want to say." Confused speech. "What were we talking about?" Ask.

Erigo laughed, and so did Devano. "Food. We're talking about food." Erigo said giving a kiss on the top of Aira's head. "We'd better order it." Cetus Erigo grabbed his phone on the table.

"At least you've got cold water." Cetus Devano then passed towards the kitchen.

"You want to ask about Kei, don't you?" guess Aira. He had felt that Devano had been following him since then and definitely wanted to say something.

"If you're willing to say it, I'll thank you" Devano said. Aira is Devano's only hope at the moment.

Aira sat in front of him. "I'm sorry Dev. Kei won't let anyone tell you where he is. And I will not betray him." said Aira softly and firmly.

"He hates me." said Devano. "I deserve to be hated" he said again. Regretting is no use. Devano is like a fool who sees ants on the other side of the island but does not see an elephant in the eye. He pulled a rough handful of his hair.

Aira took a breath and exhaled it. "Give him Dev's time" said Aira. Aira felt pity, but could not do anything about the decision taken by Kei. He didn't want to mix it too far.

Devano. "I'm late Aira. I've lost him."

Aira looked at Devano. "What do you feel for her Dev?" ask Aira. "If it's just guilt__"

"I miss her Aira." cut Devano. "That's how I feel now" he said again. "I felt guilty at first. I consider him a bully. But his departure only made me more disturbed. I can't find it anywhere, it makes me nervous. I want him to always be around me. I'm so selfish."

Aira smile. He realized that Devano also had the same feelings that Kei felt, only that Devano was a bit late to realize it. Very late actually, but that does not mean it can not be attempted. "If her feelings for you were still the same as before, would you fight for her Dev?" ask Aira.

Devano looked at Aira. "Even if her feelings had changed Aira, I would have made her come back to me no matter what." Confidence flashed in Devano's eyes. He's already lost Kei once, and he'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Aira smile. "I'll see what I can do. Be patient." he said, calming Devano down.

"That's a very big promise dear." said Erigo who was sitting next to Devano. "Kei might not want to come back after everything this stupid jerk said." Erigo was skeptical.

Aira nodded. "But we never know the heart of others dear. Kei is tied to her since adolescence and it is not that easy that her feelings will go away. We just need to remind him and give him a little push."

said Aira. "I think I can work on something, at least we can try it" said Aira.

"Thanks Aira. You're very kind." said Devano.

Time shows at 11am. Devano was lounging in his house. He did not have any schedule of activities that required him to leave today.

Two months passed without any news from Kei. Aira said nothing either. Kei's bitter farewells hit Devano every night. Kei actually left without giving him a chance to explain or apologize.

Time passed for hours, Devano said slowly. Damnit damnit!! Thought in the heart. He never planned such an event. He never thought that losing Kei would affect him this much.

Her life feels complicated. He sat alone on his living room couch and looked around. Kei was here, in his living room, in his kitchen, singing, laughing, having lunch and dinner with him. Devano could not shake his thoughts.

The shadow of Kei ran up to him, smiled at him, holding his hand, everything made him miss the girl even more.

Instantly the shadow of the injured Kei infiltrated his mind. The glint of heartache and disappointment that radiated in his eyes drove Devano crazy. He wants to remove it. Her guilt was deepening to torture him.

Devano groaned considering how stupid he was, how harsh his words were about Kei. "Where are you Kei?" Lirih. Devano really regretted it.

He took his phone. Considering actions. He wants to try again. Although it will remain the same and Kei's phone will remain out of touch, he will look back on his disappointment once again. Some of him still hoped.

He pressed the call button and waited. Waiting as if there was no end and then the eyes were rounded. Audible tone of call. Kei's phone is back on. Devano's heart beats expectantly in the endless wait.

Cklek. "Hello."

Devano swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. Throat's dry. Kei Voice. Kei's voice that he missed. He's sure. Devano felt as if a hand was squeezing his heart. He has trouble talking.

Long silence, Kei does not close his call while Devano struggles to find his voice choked with his own emotions. "Look.. " She said slowly and softly.

His self-defense slowly collapsed. She missed the girl so much that she got to the stifling stage. "Look.. " Say it again with a trembling voice. A single tear fell on Devano's cheek. Her first tears for a girl.
