My beloved the Good Devil

Is This Taste Wrong?

A few weeks later ....

This month was precisely the month of Rania's birth where she would have her birthday. Of course the sense of pleasure and also sadness both perched in his mind. Sad to get older and pray that all will be well, but also sad to think that his age is growing and more will be thought. That night as Rania wrote, Bima came.

"Rania, what do you want for this year's gift?"

"I want health and blessings. I don't want Aira and my mom to suffer because I don't have a steady income yet."

"Rania, name something concrete that you want right now as your birthday gift." Bima urged Rania to say what she wanted.

"alright. I want a cell phone. My phone has been out for a long time and has been erring a lot. I need to work, right. How's it?"

"Well, on your birthday, you'll get that phone. Like this is what I meant. Something concrete can be stated."

"Thank you, Bima. Whether it will come true or not, I've been grateful that you've paid so much attention to me. You're so much better than everyone I know, much less than my first love." Rania glazed over her eyes looking at Bima. Never had she found such genuine care and love.

"Rania, believe me, one day you will have true love. A person with true and sincere love who truly protects and is there for you."

"really? Just having you as my protector is so much better than the people who might hurt me." Rania looked far away, if at this time she was outside the house.

"Sleep. I'll take you to a beautiful place." Bima knew what Rania was thinking and was about to take her away.

Rania is asleep too. Rania also entered the dream world where Bima was waiting to invite her to go to a beautiful and quiet place after what was liked by Rania.

"You like it here? Quiet and pretty beautiful place." Bima looked at Rania with feeling.

"Yes, beautiful. It's so beautiful and it's the first time I've been to a place like this." Rania felt astonished, who was in front of her. Is that really the devil? Or is it a person who has true love for her?

"Rania ... What do you think?"

"Ningsih .. his love is deeper. After all, we were like a couple. Rania, I can't make the same mistake. I ... will only protect you. I'm not gonna touch you. I ... just want to make sure you're okay with more and more cruel days. Later you will understand why I can be here for you."

Bima does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. He wants to make Rania get a more decent life with his efforts, not with the indulgence. Bima does not want to make Rania trapped also in an unreal love. Love that will only hurt each other.

"Thank you for coming for this despicable and down-on-his-luck me. Thank ye. I didn't think life would be this painful. I didn't know love hurt so much with the wrong people."

Rania stared at the flickering star in the sky. That feeling ... regret will only make more hurt Rania. It's a pity because Gavin never felt remorse for any crime he ever committed.

"Rania .. You are wrong, but don't keep regretting your mistakes. Focus on the future. Aira needs you very much."

Bima did not expect the descendants of her master in the past to have such a miserable life. Bima did not expect because Rania's ancestors were people who were famous, famous, wealthy, and powerful. Why can Rania be so pathetic like this?

"Yes, Bima. I'll focus on Aira because she's all I have. Aira is the spirit God has entrusted me with not giving up this cruel life."

"Rania, believe me that the wheel of life will spin and someday you will get all the ease and happiness because Aira is a given path to facilitate your life. Take care of him and love him. True love may not be seen in your life. However, Aira is a true happiness for your life. See you later."

Bima had already seen the future of what might happen to Rania's life. Fate will provide some offers that Rania can choose and will bring what Rania's life will be like in the future. All hang with the choice of Rania whether to be patient first and stay on the right path or rash in walking. Bima sees that Aira brings sustenance and happiness in Rania's life until the end of time.

"Yes, Bima. I'm so sorry about Aira. I can only hope someday when an adult Aira can say proud to have a mother like me. Maybe I'm not perfect, but I try to always give my best" said Rania while shedding tears because I can not hold the tightness in the mind.

Rania and Bima often talk and explore in dreamland. Just along with Bima, Rania felt some relief and there was a backrest. Rania's family is unreliable and always scorned after the work efforts made by Rania were considered to embarrass the family and Rania was removed from family life. Rania realizes that her family may be ashamed of her current condition but she does not want to give up for Aira's sake.

Rania is leaning on Bima's shoulder. "Mom, let me rest for a moment from all the wounds and sorrows I hide every day. Allow me to cry for a while, so that tomorrow when I wake up in the morning I can live life well."

Bima was silent. If Bima could stroke Rania's long hair. If Bima is able to. do it to make Rania more calm. But Bima held her hand because she did not want more feelings for Rania. Enough of Bima's complicated past along with Ningsih. Bima did not want to repeat that and made Rania hurt because they could not possibly be together. Bima's job is only a moment.
