That night became a night of recognition, especially from Sandhi who apparently could not hide any secrets from Intan at all. Sandhi was very honest. Aside from being trusting, it was all Sandhi did because it had something to do with Intan.
As for Intan, he has pocketed a solution for his younger brother, Mira. Sandhi has also agreed to keep a temporary distance with Mira. However, Intan is still unable to respond to the 31-day challenge Sandhi presented. Honestly speaking, Intan was really surprised to hear that. Although the reason that Sandhi uses is to protect Intan or Fani, and even though Sandhi's feelings are now more focused on Fani, still Intan cannot accept Sandhi's decision that seems desperate.
"Sandhi, what if Fani really passes on her feelings to Benny? There you will be tormented yourself. The 31-day challenge won't be met, and neither will you get Fani's heart." Rational mind responds according to circumstances.
"I know, Tan. Love cannot be forced. Just like you used to, who apparently preferred Devano over me. I tried that time, and immediately let you go after."
Suddenly Sandhi's chatter travels to the past. Intan is less fond of the diversion made Sandhi, especially before Sandhi has said that their meeting this time will not discuss about feelings in the past.
"Don't talk about the past" Intan said, turning his eyes to the right.
And ... that's when Intan caught the figure of a bespectacled man who looked familiar to him. Intan directly focuses the view. Strangely enough, the man that Intan saw was not disturbed at all, even looking back at Intan.
The next second, then Intan began to realize the figure of the man in sunglasses whose disguise was really reliable. Had the man not opened his sunglasses, Intan would not have been as shady as he was at the moment. And, the man in disguise is Devano Albagri, the future husband.
"Devano?" Intan spontaneously widened his eyes, then stood up from his seat.
Sandhi, she was piqued with Intan's sudden expression, then came looking in the direction that Intan was looking at. Apparently, right across from Sandhi and Intan's desk, there's Devano in incognito mode. Sandhi was surprised as well, but not as obvious as Intan pointed out.
Starting with one light smile, Devano walked up to Sandhi and Intan's table. Devano approached Intan first, stopped right in front of her, then looked at her while still presenting a smile.
"Hi, don't be surprised like that, Tan." Devano's tone sounded so soft.
However, still Intan could not quickly fade the shock. Intan was worried that after this there would be a commotion. Moreover, Intan made an appointment with Sandhi without Devano's knowledge.
"Dev, I can explain."
Intan was about to give an explanation, but Devano hurriedly pressed his index finger against Intan's lips. One code so that Intan does not need to bother giving an explanation.
"You're not wrong. You came for Mira. Not for the others."
The successful intan is confused by Devano's attitude. The aura that Devano emitted was a comfortable aura. Devano's face also still presents a smile for Intan. Intan has made one mistake by not telling Devano about tonight's appointment.
"Now, you sit down again, yeah. And ... I'll also sit in ... here." Devano has taken a sitting position right next to Intan.
Sandhi, he sat down again. His gaze was fixed on Devano, probing carefully.
"Is there anything you want to say?" devano asked Sandhi, directly, without further ado.
First Sandhi cleared his throat, then improved his sitting position to look more comfortable in front of Devano.
"I'm .. I won't apologize for asking Intan to see me alone, without you, or anything else." So calm was Sandhi's expression as she said that.
"OKAY. Doesn't matter. Because now I know. I also heard all your conversations with my future wife, from beginning to end. I purposely stole the listen. So, I'm sorry for what I did."
In Sandhi's heart there was a sense of annoyance, but it was not shown at all. All Sandhi showed was a calm demeanor. It feels like rebuking Devano all-out, but all that attitude will only lower his image, let alone there is Intan there.
"About Mira, I agree with Intan. You better keep your distance, so that Mira's life is calmer too. I admit, you are indeed handsome, cool, and of course many secretly admire you. But, it seems like one of them has dared to look for her due to antagonizing Mira." Devano made an opinion according to what he had just heard on purpose from the next table.
"I promise. Next I will be more careful. I'll put some distance to Mira." Sandhi's promise in front of Intan and Devano.
Devano seemed satisfied with Sandhi's affirmation. For a moment, Devano turned to look at Intan, then developed a smile. Seeing that, Intan also smiled slightly forcedly. Understandably, Intan still has not fully recovered from the shock.
Sounds like deheman again. But not from Sandhi, but from Devano. This time Devano discussed the 31-day challenge. Devano firmly told Sandhi not to involve Intan at all, because the decision was purely a decision Sandhi made. Devano does not want Intan involved, especially to help Sandhi win the heart of Fani.
"Once again, don't involve Intan." Devano reaffirmed in a really firm tone.
Devano was a little surprised because Intan suddenly gave a defense. Not worried about Sandhi being a big head because of Intan's defense, Devano just did not expect that Intan would say so.
"Intan, do you want to help Sandhi to win the 31-day challenge?" ask Devano.
"Dev, you misunderstood. I just told Intan. Not to ask for help." Sandhi.
"Ow, so. Sure you just tell stories? Not to attract Intan's attention, then steal the opportunity? Sandhi, obviously you brought up the past. What's it for if not to attract Intan's attention, huh?" Devano's tone is rising.
Intan felt like something was wrong in Devano. Devano seemed fine, so calm, emitting a comfortable aura, even smiling at Intan. However, the attitude that Devano is currently showing is completely opposite. Devano's tone easily rose, as if he was expressing the jealous feelings he had longed for earlier.
Well, there he is. Intan is immediately aware of what is happening. "Maybe Devano get jealous seeing me meet Sandhi secretly?" Intan began to wonder in his heart.
"You know nothing, Dev." Sandhi denied.
"Sandhi, I know you still expect Intan's love even though there's Fani you have to fight for. Is that right, isn't it?" Devano Shutter.
"Dev, already! Keep your voice. Not good for other visitors." Intan half-whispered while circulating his gaze towards the surroundings.
Sure enough, Devano's high tone apparently provoked the attention of diner visitors. Not a few who began to observe even began to prepare the phone to record. Seeing that, Intan immediately took a stance. He did not want to fight between Sandhi and Devano to be content and spread to social media. At all, I did not expect that. Before it continued worse, Intan immediately made an affirmation.
"Sandhi, thank you for understanding Mira's situation. About Fani, if you really have feelings for her, just prove it. Good luck to you." Intan's view turned towards Devano. "Dev, tonight I'm really disappointed by your attitude."
After saying so, Intan immediately moved from his seat. Footsteps were swung so quickly towards the exit of the restaurant. Intan has absolutely no regard for the call of Devano. Keep walking until finally Intan arrived at the edge of the highway.
"Tan, wait a minute. I'm sorry!" exclaim Devano.
Intan did not respond. His steps continued to be swung until he reached the ojek base near the restaurant. Because Devano managed to catch up, Intan paused to order an ojek. Returning the body, then reaffirming.
"I need time to myself, Dev."
Devano. His eyes could not escape from Intan. "I'm sorry" he said later.
"I'm sorry, but leave me alone first."
"Let me drive you to Mira's boarding house, yeah." Devano's tone is softening.
"Dev, leave me alone first."
"I'm sorry, Tan. I was just a little jealous and ...."
"Devano!" Intan's turn that elevates the tone of speech. Quiet for a while, then his tone weakened. "Please, just leave me alone first. You better go home. I'm also going back to Mira's boarding house. Okay?"
Devano was silent for a moment. Originally it was difficult for him to agree. But the atmosphere was so different this time.
"Please, Dev. Let me be alone first, "repeat Intan in an increasingly weakened tone, as if Intan's heart and mind were really tired."
"alright. Go ahead. Again forgive me, Tan."
After Devano said so, Intan immediately turned back. His steps back swayed but more slowly. Next, Intan climbed into the angkot which stopped not far from the base of the restaurant ojek. And ... The next thing left is regret. Devano regretted his rash attitude, who suddenly interfered in the chatter and instantly made an affirmation.
"I'm sorry. Once again forgive me. I just wanted to protect you. But, it seems like my attitude was wrong because of the rush." Inner Devano while watching the angkot on board Intan drove slowly.
