After a brief conversation that night, Amaya felt sorry for Dave. He did not expect at all, the man who used to bully himself and David had such a fate.
"What's up, why daydream?" Amaya forgets that she is with Leo right now. After several times it was off to go to dinner, finally tonight this week they did it too.
"The food is bad?" Amaya stared into Leo's eyes. He shook his head then bribed his steak pieces.
"It's good, I just thought about Mr. Dave!"
Leo's forehead wrinkled from hearing Amaya's words just now. "Dave's? Your boss is that?" Amaya nodded. He did not see how annoyed Leo looked, but tried to be held back by smiling. "Why him? He's doing a tantrum?"
Amaya put down the fork. He noticed Leo's calm face as it could always calm his rumbling heart, let alone that it was caused by Dave. "No. Some days he's more serious about work because we're doing a lot of work. But ...."
"But, what?"
"I feel sorry for him. Maybe it's a punishment, too, but I think it's too much!" Amaya sighed softly. He never thought that Dave would have that kind of trauma. He thought Dave was okay all along, apparently not.
"Why?" Amaya looked at Leo and shook her head. He chose not to tell stories. He does not want to burden Leo by telling other men in their relationship.
"What's your job? Smoothly?" Amaya switched their conversation. "We better talk about what's happening to us, right? I don't want to when we're spending time together, instead talk about someone else!"
"You're right."
Amaya nodded. "Huh. Sorry, but I started!" He chuckles softly.
"Not discussed anymore. For my work all goes well, tomorrow for two days me and some team-mates will go out of town. Is it okay to stay?"
Amaya nodded. "Did Femi come too?"
"Unfortunately yes. He's part of the team!"
"Okay, no problem. Besides, I believe that you will not be tempted by him at any time!"
Amaya notices her hand being held tightly by Leo. He smiled happily to return the sweet smile of his lover. "Don't worry. I've chosen you, we must trust each other and be faithful!" Amaya was of course touched by the sincerity of Leo's speech and gaze, she nodded happily.
"certain. I trust. Go without burden! But ... don't forget!"
Leo let go of his grasp. He laughed afterwards. "That's sure. I'll buy you a lot!"
Amaya sighed softly. He notices Leo leaving to receive a phone call. Her heart warms to remember every moment of togetherness she spent with Leo.
"I'm really lucky to be with you. The man who was always there for me!"

Just arrived in front of the boarding house, after releasing the departure of Leo who came home. Amaya is shocked by Dave's arrival out of nowhere.
The man suddenly came, without saying anything holding his hand firmly and hugging it tightly. Luckily, Amaya's body did not fall because of the sudden embrace.
"Sir Dave!" great-granddaughter Amaya while rubbing the man's burly back. "Sir!" call Amaya back when there is no answer. Amaya heard a rough sigh from the man who was hugging her.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Amaya felt Dave's embrace tightening and she felt uncomfortable. Afraid someone would see. "Sir, don't do this!"
I heard a rough breath. "One more minute!" pinta Dave. His voice was so weak. Amaya undoes her intentions when she will forcefully release Dave's embrace. He became unbearable and chose to return Dave's embrace.
"Why is it so calming? Amaya realized, he's the guy who humiliated you!"
Dave let go of his embrace, he lowered his head to hide his face from Amaya. "Sir, what's wrong? Why is it here?"
Dave did not answer Amaya's question. Curious about what happened to Dave, Amaya cupped Dave in the face and forced him to look at him.
"Why is he so fragile?"
Amaya gulped her saliva got a look so deep from Dave. The man's eyes were glazed. "We're sitting there!" invite Amaya to sit on the bench not far from them.
Amaya fell silent. Dave's question doesn't need to be answered. The man already knows. "I'm sorry, but I'm really tormented, May! Can you forgive me?"
"What exactly happened?" ask Amaya. He let it go when Dave clasped his hand.
"Why divert the question? Do you really want to know what happened to me?" Dave's gaze was so lovable. Horrible, but Amaya wants to keep staring into Dave's beautiful eyes.
Amaya looked up when suddenly Dave stood up. Let go of his grasp and choose to walk away. "What's wrong with her?"
The woman chose to chase after Dave who staggered. He helps Dave who turns out to be walking towards his car.
"Once, I'll go home. Good night, May!" said Dave sincerely. His smile was also sincere.
"Sir Dave is going home in this condition?" Dave nodded. Sure oes. "I'll drop you off!"
Dave's right eyebrow raised, the man stared fixedly at Amaya and chuckled softly. Dave patted Amaya's head three times and then shook his head. "Why?" ask Amaya annoyed. His good intentions were rejected. "I don't want anything with you and me!"
Dave opened the car door, then told Amaya to get in the car. "Why silence? He said he'd take you, so you're the one with the car!"
"I can't drive a car, sir!" Dave chuckled softly. He nodded in understanding.
"Then go in through that door over there!" point Dave with his chin. Amaya just according to that. In his heart he was so excited, Dave allowed him to come along.
Along the way to Dave's house, there was no conversation between them. Dave chose silence while occasionally massaging his head that hurt and Amaya just became a connoisseur of the scenery in the car.
"May, I need to sleep. Two days ago, I didn't sleep at all! The sleeping pills had no reaction at all!"
Amaya looked at Dave pity. During these two days they rarely establish communication because of work. "You want to, don't you, May?" Dave turned his head and looked at Amaya hoping she would agree.
"Don't be afraid, May. I'm not gonna do anything bad. I just need some sleep company. The last time I was able to sleep well in the office and it was because of you!"
"Aunt Rose?" ask Amaya to make sure.
Dave shaking. "My mom's out of town. Attending my cousin's wedding, May. You can, right?" Amaya nodded. He couldn't bear to see Dave's lethargic face.

"Why stop, May?" dave asked anxiously at Amaya who looked scared as they were about to enter Dave's room. "You agreed I asked you to accompany me to sleep!"
"I'm scared, sir!"
Dave smiled sweetly at her. The man clasped Amaya's hand and invited her into the room. "You sit there first, yeah. I'm going to the bathroom for a second!"
Amaya said she was sitting on the couch waiting anxiously for Dave in the bathroom.
Dave came out of the bathroom with a face that looked fresher, without saying anything he went to bed. Before lying down, he took sleeping pills from his container.
"What medicine is that?" Amaya. He was curious about the medicine Dave was going to take. "Sleeping pills?" Dave nodded. "Why is that much?" Amaya did not expect that Dave really took sleeping pills. He thought Dave was just saying something to let himself down.
Dave chuckles. "If only one or two items would have no effect. That's why I drink more!" Amaya shakes. He then forced the drug to take over and put it back in place again.
"Sir Dave asked me to go to bed, so don't take any medication. Now sleep!"
"You sure?" Amaya nodded. He then asked Dave to shift his body and lie down next to Dave.
"Now Mr. Dave, go to sleep. I promise to be with you!"
Dave nodded. He then closed his eyes. She smiled with her hands tightly clasped Amaya's hands.
"You're so sorry! Leo sorry! It'll be the last."
Amaya rubs Dave's head fondly and continues to notice Dave's peaceful sleeping face.
