DESERVEDLY

Chapter 14 - Surprises that Make Confused

“Intan, don't go!” whispered a man in Intan's ear.

A few seconds Intan was lulled by the scent of perfume from the body that was holding it. The aroma of perfume that is so well known makes Intan can immediately guess who is the figure of a man who slyly hugs him.

“Don't be sad anymore, Tan. There I am here,” said the man who increasingly tightened the deck.

A distinctive tone of voice becomes the confirmation of the identity of the man. At that instant Intan realized, his hands moved quickly to break the man's embrace which was none other than Sandhi.

Intan was astonished by the arrival of Sandhi who was beyond reason. Isn't Sandhi out of town? Why is he suddenly here with less than two hours since Intan sent a rejection message? Why did Sandhi come here? Didn't he agree to quit, which was confirmed by the word ‘baik’ at the end of his reply this morning? These are the questions that fill my mind. Intan's facial sharpening up clearly implied a sense of wonder.

“Why are you here, San?” That question came out the first time.

“I'm looking for you.”

“For what else?”

“To prove my feelings.”

Intan to sharpen the hearing to make sure he does not hear wrong.

“Didn't you accept my decision not to continue with you?” Pause for a moment, “Well at the end of your message this morning,” added Intan to reinforce the sentence.

“So that morning meant it, well I'll prove my feelings.” Sandhi's smile expands. “If I first said I would come to see you, surely you prevented me,” Sandhi added.

Still Intan was amazed by Sandhi's explanation. When Intan thought about it again, seeing from the time lag, Sandhi headed straight to the city where Intan lived just after Intan gave him a reply message. And, Intan was very confident that Sandhi was driving her car at high speed, so that the two of them could meet this quickly.

“It's so crazy,” muttered Intan.

“Hm? I'm not crazy, Tan. I just did what I deserved to do.” Sandhi lightly said so.

At that instant Intan's cry broke, but tried to be held back by him, so that the look of the face at that time really made anyone who saw Intan become pity. Intan threw a glance at the side of the fish pond, then wiped his tears repeatedly that kept coming out.

For Intan, the condition he was experiencing was so confusing. It was like a joke, but no laughter could be revealed. Sandhi, who should have gone with the woman her parents chose, is in fact present again presents feelings for Intan. Although Intan has given a rejection, but Sandhi has decided to fight. While Devano, he who was so Intan expected, in fact kept the painful facts and just heard.

“Remove your tears, Tan.” Sandhi thrusting a handkerchief.

Intan doesn't care at all. He still continued crying without sobbing in order to reduce the painful wound. No blood, but so real the pain.

“We sit there first,” Sandhi with us while holding Intan's right arm.

“Lease!”

Sandhi took off Intan's arm.

“I want to be alone. Go!” Intan told Sandhi to leave.

“Did you throw me out, Tan? Far away I came here just to prove my feelings.”

Intan was silent. There was a feeling of unbearability when Sandhi asserted so.

“So I came to your house,” Sandhi said.

Instantly, Intan turned his head to see the seriousness on Sandhi's face. From the look in his eyes, Sandhi did not look to be joking. That means Sandhi actually came to Intan's house before arriving at Cafe Bintang.

“Your sister said you were here,” added Sandhi.

Intan's thoughts were immediately fixed on Mira. If the story is like this, surely his sister will continue to bring up the name Sandhi. Moreover, Mira had known the past feelings of Intan who had put his heart to Sandhi.

Slowly, Intan wiped his tears. Not with the handkerchief Sandhi offered, Intan rubbed it with his own hoodie arm. Ordinary glasses that Intan had used at that time were not used anymore. Intan no longer cries, because her crying has been replaced with shock due to the actions of Sandhi.

“Say what are you on Mira?” tanya Intan, curious.

“Not much. I just said .. was looking for you. Then Mira told me that you were here.”

“Only that?”

The deg!

What Intan got from Sandhi was a surprise. A confusing surprise. Starting from his sudden arrival to his introduction to Mira, all of that was very surprising to Intan.

“Sandhi, why did you say that to Mira?”

“And I told you, I will prove my feelings. I'm not messing around, Tan.”

“Not fooling you said? At that time you said you prefer women who are betrothed to you. Suddenly the match was broken and you said you were going to fight me again. I've been wanting you to go, San!” Intan reveals what she feels.

“Why are you coming again, ha? If you go, just go! Don't come again! I am confused by this situation! You really make me confused,” Intan continued his words in an emphasis-filled tone.

Intan's inner voice silenced Sandhi. She also felt guilty for making things go back and forth like this. However, Sandhi's determination was really already strong. He had intended to fight for Intan's love again.

“This time I'm serious, Tan.”

“Do you have the blessing of your parents, San?” Suddenly, Intan questioned.

For that one question, Sandhi was unable to uncover, because it had not received the blessing of the mother. Sandhi's mother is still disappointed because Sandhi and Nisa's match is void just because Sandhi wants to fight for Intan.

“Jawab, San!” Intan.

“But.”

“Good. Then we don't need to continue.”

Intan steadfastly decided because she did not want to be confused again by Sandhi's surprise decision.

“It looks like you need yourself first, to be clearer thinking about this.”

“My feelings are not what they used to be. Your name has been changed by another man.” Intan blatantly reveals.

Sandhi still displays a calm mimicry. So far Sandhi has survived for Intan.

“Who is he?”

“You don't need to know.”

“I should know to make sure he deserves you.”

Quickly. Again, that word takes the role. Intan who heard those words immediately thought no longer, and decided to reveal who the man who had managed to color his days.

“The man who fills the space of my heart, he is the very definition of comfort. He deserves me. Totally deserved to me. He even willingly threw himself into the fish pond, just so I wouldn't get soaked by myself. He introduced me to the other side of the world, about sharing, and the true meaning of happiness. Again, he deserves me. Unfortunately ...” Pause for a moment, Intan continued her words inwardly, “Unfortunately, she has been with the woman she loves. I was invited here just to witness a fact about his love life.”

“What's unfortunate, Tan?”

“Forget. You better come back, San. Sorry, I can't continue. Excuse me.”

Intan left Sandhi who was still standing where she stood. Sandhi did not try to prevent especially following Intan's steps. In the mood of Intan who was still shrouded in sadness, Sandhi felt that she would not be able to make changes despite being forced.

While it was not far from there, it appeared that Devano was also speechless. The difference was, Devano was astonished by what he had just heard from Intan's mouth. Yes, Devano's current position is not too far from where Intan and Sandhi were. Especially with the excessive Intan emotions, Intan speech can be heard clearly by Devano. Entering at the end of Intan's confession, Devano could immediately guess who the man Intan meant.

‘The man who fills the space of my heart, he is the very definition of comfort. He deserves me. Totally deserved to me. He even willingly threw himself into the fish pond, just so I wouldn't get soaked by myself. He introduced me to the other side of the world, about sharing, and the true meaning of happiness. Again, he deserves me.’

“That man, he is ... me," said Devano.

What the hell is going on? Why can Devano hear Intan's words to Sandhi? Where is Dhea, who previously sat at the same table as Devano? Looking forward to the story!
