In the evening.
The Villa yard was very crowded, seen young people who lit bonfires assisted by Villa guards. It turned out that the young man who came was not only the one he saw this afternoon, but there were other groups. They were so happy, some were busy with their guitars, some were preparing food, some were busy crafting firewood in their graceful fire.
Reva sat on the lip of the stairs in front of her room smiling at the sight reminiscent of her High School days. The night wind at the height of the Villa makes it comfortable to enjoy the atmosphere alone. He didn't know if someone was coming to him.
"Hi, good night. Is it true that you're named Reva??"
Reva turned towards the voice that called out to her.
"Yes." Yeah." Reva smiled a little.
Ayu who was standing at the door stared intently at the man, sitting in the corner quietly watching him.
"I'm Aldo, your fiancee's best friend, Devkan Arza Pratama."
Hearing that Reva smiled with relief, because the person in front of her was not a stranger.
Aldo sat on one side of the stairs. "I just wanted to convey this, Dev asked me to give it to you." Handing over a medium-sized box to Reva.
Reva took it and opened the contents. "Thank you." He closed the shoe box again. "You're his friend, why haven't I seen you??"
"I'm a friend and neighbor, we both have no parents. So we're like brothers."
Reva looked at the face of the man in front of her, so she felt lucky to still have a mother who always loved her. "You're dropping off your sister?"
"No, he's the boss's son I work for, I'm just dropping him off. Actually it's not my job, I'm just a security guard at his company, but maybe Mr. Reporter trusted me so I drove him."
Reva looked at Aldo from head to toe, why not the security guard?" Her thought.
"Are you the security guard or the driver??" Reva thinks that the driver will be more convincing than his appearance.
"You this, last night your fiancee said that phrase, now you say it too. Did you eavesdrop last night?"
"How can I eavesdrop, you don't accuse me!" Reva did not accept, looking at him in annoyance.
"How do you know that phrase, I'm afraid to talk to you." Aldo kept his face out of position.
"I don't want to talk to you either!" Reva became annoyed.
"I don't like you."
"I don't like you either!!"
"I hate you."
"I hate you too!"
"I love you."
"I love_ too??"
Reva shut her mouth, realizing that those words were inappropriate to follow.
Aldo chuckled amusedly looking at it. "Why not continue, I'd love to hear it." Aldo chuckled again.
Reva was very upset, he so thought, is it not a man in front of her is not a friend of her lover. He sees ayu, but ayu still sits casually playing the phone in her chair. Usually Ayu will ask Reva to stay away if she feels that the person nearby is not a good person. It made Reva calm again. Realizing the attitude of the girl in front of him was a little agitated, Aldo stopped his laughter.
"Sorry, I was just kidding. It turns out you're so funny, it's only natural that your lover thinks of you." Aldo put a sweet smile on his face.
Hearing that Reva raised her face, looking into Aldo's eyes looking for the truth of the words he said, as many things the man already knew about their relationship.
Aldo was excited at Reva's eyes as he showed off his smile. His eyes did not blink back at the sight of the beautiful girl in front of him.
"He loves you very much." Said Aldo again in a soft voice.
The wind hit the two, turning back Aldo's hair and waving the tip of the hijab Reva was wearing. The light at night struck their faces, adding to the admiration of the two.
As soon as Reva's heart skipped a beat, why was it so heart-wrenching, why did her speech sound so sweet. So soft makes the wishful thinking float.
"Ehem!" Ayu purposely stopped their impromptu romantic scene.
The two instantly came to a realization and threw away each other's gaze.
"Astaghfirullah, why am I being misbehaved, when he is expressing Dev's feelings for me, but why is it like he is expressing his feelings for me." Inner Reva while regulating the breath.
Aldo also looks nervous and erratic, scratching his head that does not itch. "G ... I just remembered, I have to put up a tent for my mistress, tonight they sleep in the tent. Excuse me first, good night "His cleaver, he went down to the yard rubbing his head.
Reva also immediately stood up and went inside, Ayu also went to accompany her beautiful boss with an amused smile.
***
That night Dev was sitting waiting for orders at a fast food store. Sitting alone, while staring at the screen of his cellphone, clearly plastered Reva's beautiful face there.
"Triiingggg....." Dev immediately picked up a phone call.
"Assalamualaikum darling." Dev said his greetings with a happy smile.
"Waalaikumsalam mas." The answer across there is very soft.
"What's wrong, have you eaten?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm ordering food." Answer's short.
"Mas, thanks for the shoes."
Hearing that Dev smiled. "Do you like it??"
"Of course I like it, these shoes are like yours, so we have the same shoes."
"Don't forget, tomorrow you have to wear it, so that your legs don't hurt."
"I must've worn it. Ah yes, Aldo is right your neighbor mas, I never saw him?"
"She was only home 5 months ago, all this time she was working out of town. Is he flirting with you?" Investigate Dev curious.
"No. I was just wondering if I'd never seen her when I went to your house"
"Darling to go home first, my order has come."
"Ah yes, be careful on the street mas, Assalamualaikum."
Greetings waalaikum."
Dev hangs up the phone, picks up food and goes home.

In the room Reva tidied up the pillow and began to lie down, it felt tired once the journey from the house to the villa took 3 hours.
"Are you very tired? " Ayu started to open the chat.
"Not really, just a little tired." Answer
"Oh yeah, you seemed to calm down when Aldo talked to me, usually you don't easily trust anyone we just knew?" Reva's curious
"I asked Mr. Dev, he said Aldo was his friend, so I didn't have to be suspicious. Mr. Dev just believed him." Added again.
"It turns out, I think you don't care about me anymore." Reva stated what she was thinking from earlier.
Ayu looked at her Boss in wonder. "I can't be like that. You are a very important person to me."
"If I'm so important to you why are you always so formal toward me."
"I'm more comfortable that." Answer ayu slowly
"I've repeatedly asked you not to call me formal like that, just call me brother. You're like my sister." Reva Pleads.
"Sorry I can't. My father was drunk, my brother committed suicide, my mother was depressed and my uncle went somewhere. Right now I only have you, and I don't want to because I called up brother and lost for the umpteenth time. When living in a world of kara, there is no need for the status of a brother, but a good person will resemble a brother." Ayu looked down sad. "Since that day, I've promised myself to take care of you, at least until you get married."
Reva seemed to think. "But I'm not getting married." He said sadly
"Why, doesn't Mr Dev love you so much?"
"Because he has a disease. He won't marry me! " Reva sleeps his back to Ayu.
Ayu Quietly.
"Does this have anything to do with Aldo coming here?" Ayu just thought about it.
