Devan sighed softly and exhaled violently. He was confused where to start answering. All of Vania's questions and statements turned around. But he did not feel that what the girl was accusing him of was right.
"we talk outside yes" he asked to make the office atmosphere stay good
"no" replied Vania briefly
"why?"
"i don't have much time for all your bullshit. It's better to explain it now" he said in anger.
Devan stood up from his seat and pulled Vania's hand to invite her to move to sit on the sofa of the room.
They were sitting next to each other but two meters away. Vania gives Devan some distance because she is upset with him. Vania looked straight ahead while Devan was
tilted his position facing the girl he loved.
"quickly explain" said Vania cynically without turning to her interlocutor.
"listen to me. You misunderstood"
"how can you say I misunderstood when clearly you've incited papa to force me to continue an arranged marriage that I never expected at all"
"Vania, I'm not doing what you're accusing me of" Devan said in self-defense
"liy" said Vania quickly
"i swear to God"
"yes, I can't give you any evidence. But you should know, I'm not a selfish man who can only force others to follow my will even though I was expecting this matchmaking myself" it was obvious that he had indirectly expressed his feelings for the girl.
"what do you mean"
"i love you. Long before there was this match" he said slowly.
Vania was silent at Devan's statement. His mouth shut tight. His lips seemed to be confused to convey his surprise.
"It's up to you to think and respond to what it's like. I don't care anymore, all I have in my brain is how happy you are with or without me. I'll take care of the annulment of the matchmaking with your parents if it makes you happy. I also promise after this I will not bother you anymore and leave your life. Sorry if all this time I've only been a prank to you" Devan continued in a weakened tone. Disappointment from his face. He then moved on and left Vania alone in his room.
Vania was glued to her seat. Her tears began to fall. He felt guilty for Devan.
"god, why does it have to be like this, and he loves me? I didn't hear wrong, did I? But I did bad to him... Everything's messed up, I feel guilty for her. I was so selfish, I hurt him" he murmured inwardly.
Vania wiped her tears and walked out of Devan's room. He's going after Devan. But unfortunately when he arrived in front of the lobby, he saw Devan had already drove his car quickly out of the SA Group building.
Vania's heart is so fucked. He even cursed himself which was already troublesome and troublesome for many people.
Vania walked out of the building to a nearby stop. He contacted Nadya after sitting on the bench. He wanted to spill all his grief with his best friend.
"yes hello Van, what's up?" greet Nadya as the voice call starts to connect
"where's elo?"
"it's just coming home from the boutique, why?"
"gue wants to meet"
"okay lo where now let me go there"
"gue at a stop near the SA Group office building"
"why can it be there?"
"it's a long story, I'll tell you"
"yes, I've been waiting there for 20 minutes"
"yes" replied Vania who then turned off her phone.
He was waiting for Nadya. After a few minutes later, Nampak from far away Nadya riding his motorcycle began to slow down because it almost reached the destination.
"where are we? nadya asked as Vania was already piggybacking behind her.
"it's up to Nad, at home you're okay too"
"okay deh" replied Nadya who then restarted the engine and drove it at medium speed.
They arrived in front of Nadya's house a few minutes later. The house feels empty. Even the door was locked.
Nadya reached into her bag and pulled out the house key. He opened the door with the key he was carrying.
Nadya's door was open. There's no one in it.
"so lonely, where's your mother's father?" ask Vania curiously
"They were all out of town visiting my uncle for three days" Nadya replied as she placed her bag on the table.
"are you alone?" asked Vania while sitting on the chair
"yes, I actually want to come too, but lately the boutique is crowded, so it is very unlikely for me to take a leave" he replied as he poured water from the pitcher into the glass.
Nadya thrust the glass filled with water to her best friend, "sorry yes, I have not had time to shop, so there is only this"
"it's okay, I'm not here to fuss over your treats anyway" Vania replied smiling as she grabbed the glass.
The two of them sipped water from the glass until it ran out. Then put the empty glass back on the table.
"so, how's the story going you can be at a stop near the SA Group building?" tanya Nadya started the conversation.
"gue has met Brother Devan"
"wrong?" nadya asked, beginning to wonder
Vania recounts everything from her parents' arranged marriage to Devan's parents and her rejection that made her father angry and forced her to follow her father's orders.
"so you go to Devan's office to ask for clarity?" nadya and Vania asked.
"what did he say?"
"he said he said I just misunderstood. And he's..." Vania fell silent not continuing her words.
"he why?" asked Nadya who was curious because the words of her best friend hung.
"he said that he likes me" replied Vania slowly.
"uh uh? so brother Devan has revealed his feelings to elo? continue...keep....you answer what? you accept him?" Nadya flocked to Vania with many questions. His smile expands to hear the words of Vania who says that she was shot by Devan.
Vania is confused by the attitude of her best friend who is so enthusiastic when she finds out Devan has expressed her feelings.
"kok be that enthusiastic" asked Vania.
"emmm.. I want to tell you something the same lo" said Nadya hesitated.
"about?"
"sister Devan" replied Nadya briefly
"what do you mean?"
"actually this is a secret, but because you already know the truth, so yes I'll tell you everything to lo"
"lo hide something from me?"
"it's not so Van , listen to my explanation first"
Vania then tries to be quiet before listening to the explanation of her best friend.
