DESERVEDLY
Chapter 29 - Fighting



“Why shut up, San? Are you still unable to let go of Intan?”


“Iya,” Sandhi replied truthfully.


Devano had expected it from the beginning. There was no way Sandhi would only intend to get acquainted without anyone she wanted to fight for. At least, Sandhi must have a lot of strands of words that will be conveyed in order to resolve his disappointment at Intan's choice. Sandhi, he has become an unelected figure. Although his disappointment was not revealed through words, but the pain was so real.


The atmosphere around the lake suddenly changed. The atmosphere became tense, more serious as Devano and Sandhi clashed with sharp eyes. There was no smile at all. There is only seriousness.


“Say!” Devano took one step forward, approaching towards Sandhi. “Tell me what you want to say.”


Feeling the opportunity, Sandhi also revealed everything she felt. Absolutely not hesitant, and no matter if Intan knows what he said.


“Those years I saved feelings for Intan. Since we both studied S1. But at the time, I didn't feel worthy of him. I decided to continue S2, and will apply immediately after graduating from college.”


“Then? What is your intention already conveyed?”


Sandhi. “I was betrothed first, and I easily agreed. Next, I canceled unilaterally. I also decided to go back to pursuing Intan's love. Unfortunately, there you are there, blocking my path.”


“Hei, Sandhi. Don't blame others for a mistake you made yourself. I never get in your way. You yourself mistakenly chose the step forward!”


Sandhi immediately threw a glance. He slapped Devano's speech. Indeed, his steps had been wrong from the start. Sandhi should be more decisive in making choices. However, Sandhi's heart is not okay. Be a demon as a third party will easily be a scapegoat over the self that feels not to be defeated by the reality.


After a short pause, Sandhi opened her voice again. There was still something he wanted to ask.


“OK. I was misstep. But I still deserve the heart of someone I love. Intan should have chosen me, not you, Dev!”


“I understand. But you don't deserve to force Intan to change options.”


“So you think you're more deserving of Intan?”


At first, Sandhi used the word merit and associated it with the struggle of love. While Devano, he was not at all willing to lose.


Love is sometimes blinding. Oral that should be controlled, easily launch words that are not worth saying. That's what's happening to Sandhi. He easily gets carried away by the emotions of the heart.


“Befit it's proof. I had proved to Intan that I was not just gathering opinions about speed. I choose to continue forward, until finally conveyed also that feeling.” Devano borrowed the phrase Yoga that was once delivered to him while at Cafe Bintang.


“That's all you do, huh? How easy is Intan to accept you?” Sandhi still doesn't accept it.


“You still doubt me?” Devano followed with emotion.


“Iya.”


“OK. I challenge you to draw a rose just like Gion asked. Can you do it? No, right?”


“Then I challenge you to teach. You definitely can't, right? Obviously, I'm the one who's faster for Intan.”


“Not you, but I. Obviously Intan has chosen me.”


“Ber-stop!” reynal just arrived.


Reynal's role as best friend begins. He did not want the initial moment of the introduction of Devano and Sandhi instead turned into hostility.


“Sandhi. Remember your initial intention of meeting Devano, just to get acquainted. Not hostile. And you, Dev. You promised me you wouldn't overdo it.”


Devano and Sandhi were silent. Reynal's words are true, that's what was intended at the beginning. Unfortunately what happened was not so.


“Rey, tell your friend this. Affirm to her that Intan has chosen me, not her!” Devano uttered it while still glaring a sharp glare at Sandhi.


“Reynal. Tell him, if Intan is unhappy, I will go forward and reclaim what should be mine."


“Ck. How dare you say that. Rey, tell him ...”


Reynal's threat has changed the face of Devano and Sandhi. Whatever they do in the clear water lake, Intan must not know.


“You're calm?” reynal asked while still lifting his phone, with Intan's phone number on the screen.


Neither Devano nor Sandhi answered Reynal. They showed silence. Started to calm down, but still throwing glances at each other.


Seeing Devano and Sandhi's attitude, Reynal intends to threaten again. But suddenly there was something beyond belief. There's an incoming message on Reynal's phone. The message was from Jefri. He reported that Intan will soon follow to the clear water lake.


"Wine! Intan really will come here.”


***


Intan, he held back both resentment and worry. The motor is ready to be advanced to the clear water lake. Intan will meet Devano and Sandhi, nag them, and decide to settle everything there.


At first, Intan did not know. Just let Jefri come to see him, then tell him everything. Jefri himself also initially did not know, just like Intan. Jefri only found out when he came to soften Devano to his house. The one Jefri met was Yoga. From there Jefri got news about Devano, Reynal, and Sandhi who were in a clear water lake. Jefri with all his overthinking, he didn't want anything bad to happen there. Be, Jefri told Intan to immediately follow and become a mediator.


“Jef, do you want to come?” Intan. It just so happened that Jefri had not come home after giving news to Intan.


“No, deh. I have a shift schedule today. Devano should also have a schedule, but it looks like he has already switched his shift schedule with another colleague.”


“Good. I'm leaving alone. Tell Reynal I'm on my way.”


“Siap, Tan. Be careful on the road, yes.”


Intan nodded, then launched his motorbike at medium speed. Not enough with the speed, Intan also increased the speed when leaving the large street area. Fortunately, Intan still memorized the path he had been through. Fortunately also at that time the road passed was not too quiet, so Intan was not worried if he had to travel alone.


On the right-left side of the rice field area that Intan passed, there were some farmers who were harvesting rice. It looks very busy and focused. Like Intan who is focused on driving his motorbike to immediately arrive at a clear water lake.


A few minutes have passed, Intan just had to turn his bike to the right once the rice field area runs out at the end of the road. However, the speed of the Intan motorbike must stop before the streets are Intan through.


“It turns out you guys are waiting for me there,” Intan said when he saw Devano, Sandhi and Reynal.


Yep. Devano, Sandhi, and Reynal decide to wait for Intan in the driveway before heading towards the clear water lake. It was Devano's initiative, because he didn't want Intan through the streets cluttering with messy emotions.


The Intan motor stopped not far from the piles of rice that had been harvested. There were farmers there too. Intan could not drive the bike further because there were vehicles and goods owned by farmers who were then ready to be transported in the pick up parked there.


Meanwhile, ten meters from the parking lot of Intan motorbike, it looks Devano, Sandhi and Reynal. From a distance the smiles of the three of them seemed to expand. It was also part of the planning, the Devano initiative, so that Intan did not nag let alone to think things through.


“Hai, Tan!” devano exclaimed as he waved his hand and prepared to welcome Intan's arrival.


Intan's steps began to swing, but suddenly stopped because there was a car that suddenly passed beside him. The car was also suddenly back in direction, making Intan have to wait a while so as not to be hit by the body of the car. But, something happened. Once the car is done turning direction, the car door opens. And .... Surprising. Suddenly, Intan's mouth was smothered, then forced into the car.


“Hmmmm!” Intan tried to defend himself.


Devano, Sandhi, and Reyanl spontaneously ran over. Farmers who see not dare, so prefer to facilitate the steps of three men who intend to save Intan. Too bad, Intan was already in the car. Devano who saw the car door that had not been closed immediately took a gallant step. His hand barged in, then menjotos the origin of the face of the man who smothered Intan's mouth.


“Deeev!” exclamation Intan.


Intan's arm was grabbed by Devano, but it was released again because the man pushed Devano's body to fall. And .... Car door closed. Still in a state of falling, Devano had to watch the car carrying Intan speeding away from the rice field area.


“Deeev, toloooong!”


“Intaaaaan!”
