Miss Culun And Mr. Arrogants

203

A few days have passed.

The last two days Devano never contacted Keysa. Every time Keysa calls Devano, it's always tulalit. For two days Devano had disappeared without news, his number was also inactive, making Keysa feel anxious.

"Why can't his number be reached? Did something happen to him?" Keysa is not tired of dialing Devano numbers, hoping there is a miracle— suddenly connected.

However, the result obtained was only disappointment. Devano's number has remained in the past two days, unable to be reached. Keysa's heart was getting more anxious.

"It seems I have to make sure of myself. I won't calm down until I know what's going on." Eventually, Keysa decided to return to town B. He grabbed a bag and rushed to catch up with the man who came to the capital a week ago.

"Key, where are you going?" Grandfather who was in the living room with Zian saw the granddaughter coming down the stairs and passing them just like that in a hurry.

Keysa stopped his steps, then turned around and approached Surya who was sitting on the sofa. He forgot something, did not care about the man.

"I have to go home to B, Cake," said Keysa, then farewell.

"You'd better be here a few more days until Grandpa is fully healed." Zian tries to prevent Keysa's departure with Grandpa Surya's health as an excuse.

"I've been off college for too long. According to the doctor, Grandpa was fine too. Grandpa's fine, 'right' if I go back to town B?" Keysa asked Surya's Grandpa for permission. However, who would have thought, the grandfather also agreed with Zian. The man also told Keysa to stay.

"Which Zian said has a point, too. You better be here first until grandfather is completely healed" said Grandpa Surya.

Keysa squinted. It's not usual for Grandpa Surya to ban it like that if it's an educational problem.

"But, Cake ...."

"Grandfather knew you were there not because of college but because of that man. Forget him, Key, he's not the best for you. Behold, here is Zian who is always faithfully waiting for you!"

"Why did Grandpa suddenly speak like that?" ask Keysa, annoyed. He saw Grandpa Surya's face turning flat. Not as usual either, Grandpa Surya talked about Devano in front of Zian.

"Because he can't be yours. He will be engaged to someone else because that's why he never contacted you again" said Grandpa Surya, as if he knew what the granddaughter was thinking these past two days.

Instead of believing Grandpa Surya's words, Keysa laughed. "Grandfather if joking do not miss. It's not funny, Cake. If you want to prevent me from leaving, don't say things that don't." Keysa did not believe Grandpa Surya's words at all.

"Grandfather is not kidding. Everything that grandfather said was the truth. Devano is preparing for his engagement to the girl who always acts with you" said Grandpa Surya, mentioning Keysa's lover's name. "So stop reaching people you can't reach anymore! It's enough grandpa gave you guys a chance, but look what he did? She can't prove anything and is instead engaged to someone else. Obviously, Zian was much faster than the man," Grandpa Surya said at length.

Zian smiled triumphantly as he had the full support of Grandpa Surya.

"Go to Zian's room or talk to him here." Grandpa Surya gave us a choice.

Keysa let out a rude breath, then looked at Zian and then turned to the grandfather who looked at him with intimidation. "I went back to my room" Keysa said, then walked up to the half-running stairs.

"This must be Grandpa's wits so I can stay and be with Zian. It seems that Zian has also influenced Grandpa, even though yesterday Grandpa had already agreed to our relationship." Keysa still believes that Grandpa Surya's words are just a bluff for him.

Keysa tried to contact Devano to confirm the bird's news, but Devano's number was still the same as before, not connected. Finally, he asked Cheryl directly. Despite being lazy to get in touch with Cheryl, Keysa is forced to contact the girl to make sure.

"I was just about to call you, but you called me first" Cheryl said from across the street after the call. "You can't wait to hear wow today! Aye, right?"

"Is there anything you want to call me?" Keysa felt bad about Cheryl's mocking words.

"I want to tell you the news of ter-wow throughout the universe. A happy news that will be a trending topic everywhere. Good news for me and bad news for you" Cheryl said, ending with a loud laughter in Keysa's ears. "Me and Devano are officially engaged. So, stop dreaming of becoming Madame Dev, because it's just being carried by me. No matter how much you love, here I am the winner. I'll have it whole" Cheryl said, again full of emphasis, then ending the call between them.

Keysa pecked with the phone still attached to the ear. It is hard to believe after their togetherness, Devano will still continue the engagement.

Seeing and hearing about the truth that Devano is getting engaged makes Keysa increasingly want to return to the city of B. He had to break the engagement, but he also could not escape the control of the grandfather and Zian who keep it super tight so as not to go anywhere.

"Come, Key, think of an idea so you can go there." Keysa was pacing back and forth in his girly room, looking for a way to get out of the house. "It looks like I can ask someone for help" he murmured.

A glimmer of hope made Keysa slightly comment on the smile when remembering someone. Keysa immediately contacted the person who was believed to be able to help him. Within seconds the call was connected.

"Hello, Key, Zack is in the bathroom." Felix's voice came from across.

"Felix?"

"Yes. Its me. Zack's in the bathroom. You just wait a minute" Felix said again.

Yeah, Keysa called Felix's number. But it was unexpected that Zack was with Felix. When Zack's phone rang, Felix accepted because the man was in the bathroom.

A new idea comes to Keysa's head again, if the macho man who loves his best friend refuses his request.

"Fel, please ask for help!" said Keysa, then.

"Solicit what please? If I could help, I would help. What the hell isn't for you?"

Keysa smiled at Felix, although his best friend was different but the man was always on standby if he asked for help. Keysa told me everything that happened and the plans that he had made.

"Keep my hand here what?" felix asked, upon hearing Keysa's words the girl needed was only Zian not himself.

"If Zack won't help me, you threaten him by asking him to break up."

Felix who listened to Keysa's remarks immediately agreed with the idea. "He's out of the bathroom. You're talking to yourself about your problem is that I'm talking?" felix said he saw the bathroom door open and showed Zack wearing only a towel.

"I'm the one who talks first."

Felix nodded, though his nod was definitely invisible to Keysa. "Zack, your phone's ringing. Keysa called. I'm sorry I picked it up." Felix then gave the phone he held to the owner.

Zack frowned upon hearing who had contacted him. Keysa had never contacted him first, although they had exchanged numbers since the meeting in the village back then. "What's wrong?" ask Zack while taking the phone in Felix's hand.

Felix just put his shoulders down.

Zack me‐loudspeaker calls from Keysa and asks about the reason the girl contacted. Zack believes there's something Keysa wants to reach him.

From across the street, Keysa said he wanted to contact Zack and ask Zack to help him realize his intentions. "It's risky, Key! I don't want to." Zack who heard Keysa's request immediately rejected Keysa's invitation.

"Related to not? Then you have to break up with Felix" Keysa said.

"Why was the relationship between me and Felix brought up?" Zack is frustrated by Keysa's request. He did not want to break up with Felix, but he also did not follow Keysa's will.

"Felix is my best friend. He will always support my decisions. If you don't want to, then this very second she'll leave you, '" Keysa's circus again.

Zack looked at Felix, who was listening to Keysa, hoping that he would not do what Keysa wanted if he refused. "Keysa's words are a command to me. I will always follow and support everything he does. So, if you don't want to help her, it's better that our relationship ends here" Felix said, as if he knew what Zack's gaze meant.

Zack is made limp by Felix's statement which is uttered without the slightest hesitation. He is completely helpless. There is no other option to stay with Felix other than to follow the request of his lover and best friend.

"alright. I'll be looking for someone to help us."
