Miss Culun And Mr. Arrogants

197

Keysa was still asleep when he heard a scream from beside his body. Devano's voice that had just been a nightmare along with Devano's phone ringtone woke him up.

Keysa opened his eyes and saw Devano who was bathed in sweat.

"What's wrong?" keysa asked, looking at Devano like a frightened man.

Devano who was holding the phone just shook his head, then attached the phone to the ear. Keysa was only a loyal listener while gathering his consciousness with a head that felt dizzy from waking up suddenly.

"What's wrong?" asked Keysa, after Devano ended his call with the caller.

Devano let out a rough breath. Her nightmare is still in the shadows, now coupled with bad news. "Cheryl tried to kill herself."

"How is it now?" Keysa sounded panicked.

"I don't know. Exel said he was being treated by a doctor."

Keysa was just nodding, actually he had also heard the talk between Exel and Devano. He then grabbed the hand of Devano who was still holding the phone, rubbing it gently with eyes that looked at the crumpled face.

"You better look at Cheryl first" Keysa said solemnly.

Devano stared at Keysa with squinting eyes. Not expecting her lover instead told her to visit Cheryl who was clearly going to ruin their relationship.

"No need. I'm sure it's just their game to get me back home." Devano tries to convince himself that the news from Exel is just their ploy to get Devano home.

"Exel's voice sounded very worried. Does anyone like to play with their lives? Meet them first, make sure the truth first.after that it comes back again," said Keysa.

"But ...."

"No but-but, look at Cheryl's condition first! I'll always be waiting for you here." Keysa kissed Devano's lips for the man to see Cheryl's condition.

Devano did not think with Keysa's mind, even though the girl was often hurt, Keysa should be happy to hear his rival is not okay. Maybe some will immediately pray for the man to die, but his lover is different from others. Keysa never really hated anyone, his anger was only momentary. Upon hearing the news of Cheryl's suicide, concern was evident on the girl's face, which led Devano to grant her request.

"All right, I'll see it. You sleep again, yeah! I'll be back."

Keysa. Devano got out of bed. Don't forget to give a kiss on the forehead before leaving.

Night had passed and morning changed, Keysa was awake. He had also made breakfast for her and Devano, but Devano did not return and there was no news at all. Though the man had promised to give news about Cheryl's condition.

"Is it possible that Cheryl's condition is critical, so Dev can't reach me and is busy taking care of Cheryl?" Keysa stared at the phone with no notification at all, then stared at the food he had not touched at all as it waited for the host.

By noon, there was still no news from Devano. Keysa decides to contact his grandfather's men and find out more about Cheryl.

"Miss, we just found out the latest news about Cheryl. The girl is fine" said the grandfather's men from behind the phone after receiving an order from Keysa fifteen minutes ago.

"If it's okay, why doesn't Dev go home?"

"From our perspective, Devano was always next to Cheryl in the ward. If you can guess it looks like Devano has been controlled by his family," said the man again.

Keysa breathed a harsh sigh upon hearing the words of his grandfather's men, then ended the call after saying thank you. Keysa didn't think that far. He who was worried about Cheryl's situation told Devano to leave just like that. He forgets that his girlfriend is surrounded by people who hate him. Devano's return must have been an opportunity to restrain the man from staying and keep him away from Keysa.

"I promised to wait for you to come home. Maybe tonight or tomorrow you'll come home and find me. I'd better stay here until you get home" muttered Keysa, hoping her boyfriend would come home.

***

A week has passed. Keysa still lives at Devano's house hoping the man will come home. He went to college every day from that house.

"Have you been living in Dev's house for a week, has he never been home?" ask Disti, while both of them are in class.

Keysa. Disti could only sigh deeply, then pat Keysa on the shoulder, bracing. He knew what was going on with his best friend.

"Have you had breakfast yet? Let's get some food, yuk!" disti said again, switching the conversation.

"My stomach answered first" said Keysa, grinning his horse. "Come, get some food!" Thinking about Devano who did not go home also needs energy. Keysa pulls Disti to go to the cafeteria.

On the way to the cafeteria, Keysa was stunned when she saw Devano and Cheryl return to campus. Smile when she sees Devano beside Cheryl walking towards her. The man Keysa missed this week is back.

However, when Keysa's smile disappeared, Cheryl suddenly held Devano's friendly.

"What the fuck?" Keysa muttered when he saw Cheryl so attached to Devano, the severity of Devano did not protest at all.

The two passed Keysa without saying a word. Devano's gaze looked cold to Keysa.

"It seems like what they said was true" Keysa muttered, recalling the words of his men. Keysa's body immediately felt limp.

"Patience, Key." Disti calms Keysa. It would be a lie if Keysa said he was okay. It was so bad he cried to see the abandonment of Devano.

"Dev, I want you not to be near Keysa anymore. You remember your promise to me, don't you?" Cheryl, a few steps away from Keysa, spoke so loudly that Keysa could hear.

Devano did not answer. He couldn't say yes, because it would hurt Keysa and he didn't want to. However, Devano is also unlikely to not fulfill Cheryl's request, he has promised and if not kept all will be chaotic.

"Dev, you heard what I said, right? Starting today you should not get close to Keysa anywhere, including in class. You'd better move seats, too" Cheryl ordered.

Devano did not reply, but his head nodded in tears. Making a sly smile rose on the face that glimpsed towards Keysa.

"I'm not hungry, Dis. I'm full" Keysa said. He who saw Devano's head nodding immediately burned with emotion.

Keysa is not eating. He returned to the classroom with a myriad of emotions filling the body. He just passed by a lovebirds who were walking while showing off intimacy. The girl wearing jeans overalls was immediately sitting on her stool.

'We see, are you going to comply with his request?' mumbling Keysa in the heart.

At the moment, it looks like Keysa should have a large stock of patience. The man actually picked another bench when he saw Keysa sitting on his bench. Devano did not say hello once, making Keysa throw the original ballpoint pen forward, then grabbed the bag. Keysa's heart was in turmoil and chose to leave the classroom.

***

Keysa didn't take classes. He was in a shopping mall with Felix. The beautiful man of his best friend invites Keysa to go to the mall to look for clothes for Felix photo shoot, as well as comforting himself.

While the two were shopping, Felix's phone rang with Zack's name on it.

"Thank you" said Keysa.

Felix nodded, then dialed the green button on the constantly flashing screen.

"What's wrong?" ask Keysa, after the call is over.

"Zack took me to the nightclub."

"Yes, I've, just meet."

"Eh, I don't think I'm a loyal friend, huh? When his friend was sad, he hangs out alone" Felix's circus, unable to leave Keysa alone.

"I'm fine. I'm doing fine. Go!"

Felix refused. He did not want to leave Keysa alone until finally, an idea was sparked to invite Keysa along. With Zack's permission.

Felix and Keysa have been walking all day tirelessly, straight to where Zack promised.

***

Keysa was enjoying the melodious sound of Felix dueting with Zack. Zack, who knows the problem of Keysa from Felix, chose to entertain Keysa with Felix by karaoke ria. The two entertain Keysa while making out, which makes Keysa amused himself.

"Fel here first!" Keysa asked Felix to sit close to him. Seeing the eggplant and eggplant making fun of Keysa who was filled with anger immediately shuddered.
