DESERVEDLY

Chapter 21 - Come to Help

A stocky man with a thin mustache and a charming smile, such is the figure of Reynal. Reynal's smile was also so cheap, and was reserved for anyone who had a warm conversation with him. Old young, friend or stranger though, Reynal will always be friendly. Except, in times of certain circumstances that make him have to be firm and need the wisdom of attitude.

“Since when was four eyes, Rey?” Jefri asked as he helped Reynal open the cans of biscuits to serve.

“Since two months ago. Our look is the same, bro. Equally wearing glasses. Different again if Devano, the more here the more youthful look.”

“Can you, Rey.”

The chat continues around Reynal's story while in the region. About humanitarian activities, experiences help a person's mental recovery, until suddenly Reynal remembered to Dhea.

“Oya, how is your relationship with Dhea, Dev?”

“If that one don't ask, Bro!” Jefri codes Reynal not to continue the question. However, Reynal was already curious about something that happened to Devano.

“Means?” Reynal kepo too.

“I mean, no longer any relationship.” Devanolah who insists that there are no more questions.

Reynal quickly understood Devano's affirmation. He didn't ask more. All he did was nod slowly, then pat Devano on the shoulder. That's all, because Reynal won't force it until Devano chooses himself to share the story. However, there is Jefri there, who actually likes the origin of plaques when talking.

“Devano has a new scene, Rey.” Jefri said while raising his eyebrows.

“Oh yes? Seriously, Dev?” Reynal enthusiastically wanted to know, but he who was used to being harassed by people, immediately knew the mimic changes of Devano's face. His best friend seemed reluctant to tell.

“Jef. Don't be a bucket boy!” Sindir Devano while giving a sharp glare.

“Ngaku aja, Dev. Let more people support. You can be more lucky to be the same In .. hm-hmmm!”

Devano auto smothered Jefri's mouth when he was about to say Intan's name. One slow tease also landed on Jefri's head with a misty hair.

“Already. I'll just wait until Devano tells me.” Reynal.

Only then did Devano release Jefri with a big smile after Reynal said so. While Jefri, he vent his frustration by taking biscuits that are served in large portions, then chewed quickly while looking at Devano.

“Better listen to my reason for returning to this city.” Reynal makes a new topic so that Devano no longer quarrels with Jefri.

Succeeds. Devano and Jefri instantly corrected their position to hear Reynal's story. Unexpectedly, it turns out Reynal is back because it will hold a wedding in the next few months.

“Congratulations, yes Bro. Pray for Devano too! Poor, upset only.”

Devano is not interested in keeping Jefri anymore. He only gave a sharp glance once, and at once Jefri was silent without any intention of continuing his insinuation again.

“Which child, Rey?” Devanolah asked.

“Child of the city here. After marriage, she will come with me.”

“What's his job?” This time, Jefrey asked.

“Teacher,” Reynal replied briefly.

The deg!

Devano's memory was immediately fixed on Intan. Starting from the face, how to smile, until the face pouting Intan was immediately shadowing. Worse than that, about Intan who cried during a misunderstanding in the Star Cafe, the memory also suddenly appeared without being muted. Spontaneous Devano looked towards the tile while still stirring his mind.

“If your wife comes along, then she should stop being a teacher at her place teaching now, dong!” Jefri enthusiastically guessed.

“That's. We've talked about it, and she's still willing to marry me.”

“Uwow!” Jefri cried out stifled, while the glances of his eyes were fixed on Devano who was still throwing his mind at Intan.

Reynal did not catch Devano's changed face, because he was in a hurry to take a drink to serve. Once back, Devano no longer catapulted the mind because it had elbowed Jefri's arm.

“The two of you are always fighting, yes?” ask Reynal when he comes back.

“Not really. It's just that today Jefri made me a little blood,” said Devano who was immediately touched by laughter by Jefri.

Pause for a moment. Someone just called Reynal. Devano and Jefri are welcome to eat the treat at the table while Reynal receives a call from someone across the street.

Reynal received a call in the living room. Faintly, Devano heard Reynal mention Intan's name. However, at that time Devano was still not thinking about anything. Until then ….

“Dev, you remember Intan?”

The deg!

“Which intan?”

Jefry heard. But, he chose to remain silent despite knowing who Intan was referring to. Jefri did not make a sound, and continued to chew his biscuits.

“My wedding is still a few months away. The reason I returned quickly to this city was one of them because of him,”, Reynal said, bluntly.

“Dia? You mean Intan?” Devano questioned the clarity.

Reynal nodded as a sign of agreeing with Devano's question. Unfortunately, the chat did not immediately continue again because again Reynal got a call from the same number as before. The difference is, Reynal received the call by staying seated next to Devano.

“Iya. Take it easy, San. I'll help you. There's a good friend of mine here, too. He must be willing to help,”, Reynal said on Sandhi's phone.

Simultaneously, Devano's heart was pounding incoherently. There was an unpleasant premonition, thus messing with the mind.

“Dev, you know Intan's home address, right?” ask Reynal suddenly.

It's hard for Devano to just say yes. The bad feeling is getting stronger.

“Dev?” call Reynal because Devano doesn't.

“Iya. I know.” Finally, out also the words of Devano even though his tongue had been confused.

“Halo. Sandhis. Just order a bouquet of white roses. Later my friend will help you also deliver the bouquet to Intan's house,” said Reynal later.

The deg!

Devano's mind is getting less and less. He began to guess the direction of Reynal's questions and words just now. Meanwhile, Jefri, he vaguely realized. But, again he chose silence and kept observing.

“Who called you, Rey?” Devano asked.

“Name Sandhi. He's a lecturer, Dev. Dan, you know what? Sandhi likes Intan.”

“You mean, Intan our friend?” Devano wants clarity of name.

“True. Our friend. Intania Zhesky.”

The deg!

Awakened already premonition Devano. In that instant, Devano's mind soared to the incident this morning at the Star Cafe. Devano remembered a man who was with Intan at the time. Devano sure enough, Sandhilah was with Intan this morning.

“Then? Why'd he call you, Rey? A bouquet of white roses? What does it mean?” Again Devano wants more clarity.

Reynal begins a story about Sandhi asking for help. It also happened that Reynal's position was not far from his hometown. So Reynal decided to return to his city at that time to be able to help Sandhi immediately.

“Sandhi called when I had a visit in the next city. So, all of you, I'm going back to this city.”

“You said, Sandhi likes Intan?” ask Devano.

“Iya.”

“Since when?”

“Come, Dev. I didn't ask far. I was just told to help ...”

“Their relationship?” guess Devano who interrupts Reynal's sentence.

Reynal spontaneously expressed his sense of herdness over Devano's clearly changing attitude.

“Hei, Dev. Wasn't it! I was told to find out the guy Intan likes.”

The deg! Deg-deg's!

For the last time, Devano remembered the words of Intan while at the Star Cafe. ‘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.’

Rey, will you still help Sandhi when you find out that man is me? Inner Devano.

“Sandhi plans to send a bouquet of white roses to Intan. You come with me to Intan's house, huh Dev? We send the bouquet of flowers all looking for info,” added Reynal enthusiastically expressed his plan.

Devano did not. His mind is still wandering here and there.

“How, Dev?”

“Rey, i …. Actually ...”
