Week pass.
Every day Devan would be in Vina's shop.
If asked by Vina what the man was doing in his stall, Devan would reason to have just finished monitoring the work in the market and because there was free time he came to take time to the stall.
Every day Devan would say the same thing so even Vina just let it go, it was up to what the man was doing in his stall.
At the stall Devan will help Vina even though it is just delivering food because that is all he knows.
***
Afternoon.
Before going home first Vina tidied up her belongings and cleaned the stall clean.
In front was already Parto waiting for them.
“Come home, Parto is waiting for us in front.” Take Devan.
“No, I'll go home by myself. You guys go home first.” Reject Vina.
Without speaking again Devan immediately passed from before Vina. The woman thought Devan was angry because he refused the man's invitation.
Vina refocused her work on cleaning the stalls.
“Finally done too.” Vina Murmured.
The woman also walked out of the shop.
Outside Vina did not see the whereabouts of the car again “Maybe they have indeed returned.” Thought Vina.
After locking the door, Vina turned around. His eyes narrowed at the existence of the man in front of him.
“Come home.” Say that man.
“You haven't come home yet? I think ...”
“Think what? There's no way I'm gonna let you go home alone, I don't want that guy named Frans looking for a chance.” Excited Devan cut Vina's speech.
Apparently the man told Parto to come back first.
“Apaan anyway.” Vina Cibir.
“Let's go home, are we going to be quiet and arguing here until the sky is dark.” Devan said as he grabbed Vina's hand for her to hold.
“Do not hold-hold ih.” Vina threw Devan's grip off his hand.
“Feelings used to be okay if I held.” Chirps Devan without excuse.
“Then and now different.” Sinis Vina while stepping away left Devan in his place.
Devan ran after the woman.
They walk in tandem.
Along the way they just kept quiet with their respective minds.
“Come back to the city, I will take care of all your needs there.” Suddenly Devan opened a conversation between them.
“No, thank you.” Reject Vina.
“I want you guys to live properly Vin, you don't have to work too hard like this. Let me do that for you, I work for you.” Devan said solemnly.
The mood suddenly changed.
“Whose we are to the point that you have to work for us.” The woman spoke.
“Don't talk like that! You are an important part of my life. You and Naya are half my life, you are important in my life.” Devan said by suppressing each of his words hoping that Vina felt his feelings through the expression earlier.
“I'm not sure you'd say the same thing if Naya wasn't currently in our midst.” Vina replied to refute the man's words.
“There was and is not Naya even though I would say the same thing, you are half my life and it will still be like that! Even after I married that woman, every day all I think about is you and you.” Devan is serious.
Vina was silent while still stepping forward.
“Vina, please think about this again. Do you not want to give complete happiness to our children.” Devan asked as he chased after Vina who further accelerated his pace avoiding the man.
Vina who was too focused walked forward to avoid Devan not realizing that someone was after him.
From the back a motor is traveling at very high speed.
Devan who was still left behind turned around when he heard the sound of a motor from behind them.
The bike was going very fast and very awkward.
“Vina, beware.” Shouted Devan while running pulling Vina to the side of the road.
Seconds later “Awwh.” Ringis Devan holding her hand.
Vina rounded her eyes to see Devan's hand that was scuffed due to being hit by the motor steering earlier.
“Devan your hand.” Panic Vina.
Actually the wound on Devan's hand is not too severe, just scratched.
But seeing Vina who was so worried about him made Devan use this opportunity to see how Vina felt for him, whether the woman still loved him or not.
“Awwh, pain.” Acting that man.
“Jeez, how is this. Does this hurt like hell?” Vina asked frantically, her hand reflexively holding Devan's hand.
While Devan closed his eyes enjoying the touch of Vina's hand on his body.
I miss this, I miss your warm hands. I miss everything we did before.
Devan longed for their togetherness.
Sometimes the question arises in the minds of men, why their destiny should be like this. Why did God not unite them from the beginning, why did they have to separate first and meet under these circumstances.
Like a stranger.
“You shouldn't have to do that, just let me get hit.” Vina's words managed to make Devan open his eyes.
“You think I'll let my loved ones get hurt in front of my own eyes.” Devan's successful reply made Vina look at him.
Not long after Vina turned her gaze back.
“Come home, your hands should be treated so as not to infection later.” Finished saying that, Vina immediately released her hand from Devan then stepped first leaving Devan who was still in his place waiting for Vina's reply.
The man exhales violently, Devan feels Vina still cares for him only that the woman is reluctant to admit it.
At least today I can still see your concern for me, even if only a little. I know you still love me very much. Otherwise, why haven't you been looking for another man to take my place in all these years.
I will keep fighting until you come back.
Because as hard as the stone if it continues to be exposed to water droplets, the stone will be eroded little by little until it is destroyed. Just like your feelings are like stones, if I keep sweating my struggle then your hard feelings will melt away.
I'm sure, very sure.
Devan again stepped his feet after Vina who had already walked in front of him.
***
While elsewhere.
Tiara received a photo from her man. The photo shows Vina and Devan walking together.
Unknowingly Tiara squeezed her phone until her hand veins popped out.
“Enjoy your time while it is still there, for when it comes there are only tears that will decorate your days.”
“Wait and see only!” Tiara grinned at his place.
“New games will be started.”
