The Buffer of my Heart

It's been a week since Ruz's departure for good from Deeva's life. Women who are currently very fragile spend more time in the room. His school holidays are only enjoyed in a sea of grief.

Click. ..

Deeva just activated her jaw. Dozens of WhatsApp messages are coming in from Agra. A lot, her heart. He read one by one. Just about to put his gawai on the nightstand, the box thing shouted loudly.

Drrc .... Drrc ....

Incoming call from Agra.

Click ...

"Hello" said Deeva.

"Darling, are you okay? Why have you been missing all this time? I'm worried about you, honey."

"Agra's not busy?"

"No. What's up, honey?"

"I'm out, I'm bored at home. Being here alone makes me even sadder." the pretty girl's eyes were already swimming with tears.

"You're crying, honey? What's up?"

"Pick me up here, brother?"

"All right, wait a minute."

Agra grabbed her car keys and walked over to her secretary out there. He asked to reschedule his schedule this afternoon, Agra soon arrived in front of the gate of the luxury house. Security quickly opened the gate.

The black-clothed man got out of his car, and a housekeeper's aunt invited him to sit down. Shortly Deeva got off the second floor and met Agra in the living room.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Agra .. I'm troubling you" Deeva said.

"It's okay, honey. Where are we going?"

"Guet me a minute, brother. There's someone I need to meet."

"Allah ... We're leaving now?"

"Sepentar Kak ... "

Adeeva took her bag which she put on the table. Agra opened the car door.

"Okay, sister," said Deeva

"OK, Honey ... "

Agra stayed focused behind the wheel of his car. While occasionally glancing at the sweet girl next to him.

"Sir .. "call Deeva.

"Hm ... "

"I'm not interrupting Brother Agra's work, am I?"

"No, Honey ... "

Deeva turned to Agra, the corner of her mouth raised beautifully. But the beauty was gone instantly. His heart remembered back to the Mother. Agra saw Deeva's eyeballs welled up.

"What's up, honey? Why are you crying?" agra said as she gently stroked Deeva's head.

"Mother .." said Deeva lirih.

"Why mother, honey?"

"Mother is dead, Brother"

Almost Agra stepped on the brake suddenly hearing his heart adoration. He who does not know it feels guilty to Deeva.

"Died? Why didn't you tell me, honey? I mourn the death of your Mother. You must be very sad, dear. I'm sorry."

The beautiful girl shook her head. He told Agra everything. About her reunion with her biological father, about Rey, about her mother's illness and also about what she's feeling right now. The chaos that fought violently in his heart. His displeasure.

Agra pulled out his vehicle, pulled the handbrake and turned off the engine. His heart could not see his beloved woman crying at his side. She immediately hugged Deeva, putting the pretty girl's head in her warm field chest.

"Relax, honey, I'm here with you" she said, stroking Deeva's soft beautiful hair.

After she felt that Deeva was quite calm, Agra resumed his stopped wheel earlier. Twenty minutes later they arrived at a seaside restaurant.

"It's over, honey," said Agra.

Deeva took his gawai and hit a few numbers.

Peware ... Pueo ...

Click ...

"Hello" said someone on the other end of the phone.

"I've arrived. You where?"

"Acity ... Just a minute."

Then from inside the restaurant came a tall man wearing an apron. From inside the car Deeva furrowed both of her eyebrows, then she pulled both ends of her lip line.

"Niiinn ..." said Deeva.

"Nino," said Nince who has now changed his appearance to a real man.

"Well, you look cool like this, Nino."

"The mother who pulled me out of the dark mud and found me a job here."

"I'm glad to see you like this. Oiya, this is Agra ... Sister ... This is my friend Nino." Deeva introduces Nino to Agra who stands by her side.

"Norris ... "

"None ... "

The two men shook hands with each other.

"Oiya, I can't take long. I'm at work. I asked you here to give Mother a hand for you."

"Breakfast?" ask Deeva.

Nino pulled out a black plastic package tucked between her apron and her stomach.

"What truth? What other secrets does Mother keep," Deeva's inner.

Nino is back at her job. Deeva and Agra were already in the car. Deeva opened the plastic wrap. Inside was a notebook and a letter.

"Meine South "1)

It was written on the front cover of the notebook. Deeva kept the book and the letter in the bag she was carrying. There was a small smile on the end of his lips.

"Sir .. "call Deeva.

Agra turned to the sweet girl who called out to him.

"Yes, honey."

"We're home."

"Alright, Honey. But don't you feel sorry for me?"

"eeh ... " Deeva turned to Agra.

"I don't get a wage. Just hang with me for a second, honey?"

"Where?"

Agra developed her wide smile while patting her stomach. Deeva just smiled amusedly at it.

They stopped at a restaurant, Agra booked a private room for the two of them. Candle light diner to be precise. Romantic musical accompaniment makes the atmosphere more beautiful.

"Why order a place like this anyway, sister?" deeva protest.

"It's okay. To comfort you, dear," replied Agra casually as she ate her meal.

"So, Agra is overreacting."

"Who said this is overkill, honey. It's an expression of my happiness because you've started learning."

"Learn what?"

"Learn to love me."

"Eeehh .... Don't decide side, brother."

"No. You are my girlfriend. My heart's love who loves me so much"

"So again Brother Agra decided on the side. I haven't made an agreement."

"You'll agree, honey."

"What the hell ... Sister ... Didn't I say I was more comfortable in the friendzone."

"As far as you are, dear. What is clear is that you are my girlfriend" said Agra absolute.

Drr ... Drrc ...

Gawai Deeva shouted out loud. The incoming call from Reynand was on his screen.

Click ...

"Yes, Brother ... "

"Where are you, Dek?"

"I'm on the road, brother. I'll be home soon."

"Yes, already. Don't be too late, honey. Papi's worried about you."

"Yes, Brother ... "

Click ...

Huuuha ... Deeva sighed.

"Who, Honey? Your fierce brother?"

"Sister Rey. He's not that bad"

"What a turnaround, dear. I borrowed his sister for a while already sewed that."

"Borrow? I have everything to borrow" Deeva protested again.

Junan approached Rey who was in the upstairs living room.

"Your sister hasn't come home yet, Rey?" ask Junan.

"Not yet, Pi," Rey replied.

It's nine o'clock in the evening, there's no sign Deeva's back yet. Rey understands very well his Papa, although he looks calm he must be very worried about Deeva. Her youngest sister just said she was going with her friend. That's what makes Rey nervous. She worries that Deeva is caught in the seduction of the jerk-man who teases her. Before long the sound of a car entering the courtyard, Rey bows her head under the balcony.

Agra got off and opened the car door for Deeva. Not sure what they were talking about below, Rey saw Agra holding both hands of her beloved sister. His eyes glared at all that.

"Is that your sister, Rey?" ask Junan.

"Yes, Pi," Rey replied briefly.

He went downstairs to meet Deeva and they passed by the stairs.

"Just home, Dek?" ask Rey.

"Yes, Brother."

"With Agra."

"Yes .." Deeva answered and passed from Rey's presence.

Deeva went straight into her room, cleaned herself, and changed clothes. For a moment he laid his body on the soft mattress.
