My Devil Man's

MDM - Part 24

A man sits on the floor of his apartment, between bottles of liquor that are splattered there. His appearance looked messy, his face was tangled and pale and his eyes were blackish, indicating that he had not slept all night and was awake. His trembling hand reached into the pocket of the trousers he was wearing, picked up a flat object and turned it on. His eyes were all over the glass, staring longingly at the photo of a sweet woman who was embracing him affectionately.

Her tears dripped down her cheeks then down onto the matted shirt she was still wearing from yesterday afternoon. He did not expect the woman he loved with the second heart behind him, even though he was convinced and proposed to her yesterday. But fate said another, the woman turned to the man who had always bothered her.

"Yes.why are you the same with me..". Raihan gave a soft smile, his tears did not stop wetting his two firm jaws.

Raihan again downed the liquor in his hand, this was really the only escape he could think of right now. The overwhelming love for Asya had caused him to be in a state of chaos for a moment.

"I miss Sya. miss your voice. miss your embrace. miss everything in you.. Argh!!".

Pranks...

Raihan threw the bottle rough until it broke to pieces, and then his body lay down instantly. His glazed eyes tried to fall asleep, at least in his uneasy sleep. One that he hoped, in a dream he would be able to meet Asya again, embrace her in his arms and not take her off again.

✳✳✳

Asya's heart was troubled since earlier, uncertain feelings rained down on him without Asya knowing the real cause. Raihan.. only that one name was on his mind this time. Is he okay??, he did not make a determination??. Only those questions revolved around his brain. Asya then took a flat object on the workbench, turned it on and typed a name in her cell phone contact.

Raihan's name was written there, but Asya hesitated, even just to ask about the news of his former lover.

Suddenly without realizing Asya, Zidan was already in front of him. Look at her lover carefully. "Don't macem-macem Sya.lo don't expect to call the ex-boy lo..". Zidan said furiously, trying to hold back emotions when imagining Asya back to Raihan again.

Asya snorted angrily and decided to get up to the cafeteria for lunch, apparently filling her stomach better than having to hear the babbling of the man who was still standing in front of her.

"Where are you?!". Zidan blocked Asya's hand, holding her back from moving again.

"You want a bag.. What else?!". He said with no intention of turning to look at Zidan.

"Lo don't have to kantin.It's better to come with me..". Now it was Zidan's turn to be in front of Asya, pulling his body into the elevator that would lead him to the basement.

Ting..

The elevator door opened, Zidan again pulled Asya's hand as soon as they reached the basement, then forced her to get into the car that would take her to where Zidan had planned.

"Where are you taking me, Zidan?! it's still working hours..". Asya grumbled as soon as Zidan got into his car.

Zidan was silent and did not answer Asya's question, so he drove his car to a public hospital about a twenty-minute drive from his office.

Asya simply fell silent, gazing out the empty window with no intention of opening the chatter. His heart was still broken and somehow his mind was only on Raihan. 'Hopefully at all.'. Inner Asya.

"Udah..".

Zidan's voice startled Asya from the daydream, making the woman prank for a while before finally waking up. "This where is Zidan??". Asya asked confusedly.

"Hospital dear..". Zidan got out of the car followed by Asya.

Zidan turned his head, looking at Asya who was still standing clumsy beside his car without moving an inch. The man stretched out his hand, hinting to Asya to come closer.

Asya walked in doubt without intending to hold Zidan's hand. "Well, did you come here, Zidan??".

"Sir Ana told me to come here, so I asked you because you were alone..". After saying that Zidan pulled Asya's hand, took her to the hospital and walked into a room with the name Liliana Revandra on it.

Zidan knocked on the door, and a split second later Ana let them in. "Sister..". Sapa Zidan to the figure of the woman in the white coat of the doctor.

"Zidan?? eh Asya... You come too??". Ana walked up to the two of them.

Ana's eyes squinted at Asya's hand that was perfectly grasped in her sister's hand. "Ehemm... What are the handcuffs of Asya??". Ana asks teasingly.

Zidan glanced at Asya at a glance then smiled sumringah. "He's my girlfriend, brother..".

"Uhukk.. Zidan!!". Asya choked on her own spit. How could Zidan say that in front of his brother.

"Eh.. eh... eh. since when did you become the same Asya??".

"So early in the morning. oh yeah brother, why did you tell me to come here??".

"Oh that..". Ana turned towards her desk and took out a few checkpoints. "So, I don't want you to be a volunteer who helps comfort children with cancer in this hospital..". Obviously Ana then opened the map showing a piece of paper that was printed there the pictures there.

"Where's it, you want to come??". Ask Ana again.

Asya nodded in spirit, however much she liked the name children. "Come, sister Ana. I want to come too..".

Ana smiled to see the spirit that radiated in an Asya, as well as Zidan who had been beside her earlier. The man did not stop looking at the adherent Asya who was smiling sweetly, revealing his neat row of white teeth.

"Come on if that's it..". Ana leads Asya and Zidan into a spacious room, where the children with cancer chat and play with other volunteers.

"Doctor Ana!!". One of the boys approached them.

Ana squatted a little, aligning her height with the little boy. "Ryan?? rich where is he??". Ask Ana.

The boy named Ryan smiled. "Nice doc..". Then his eyes he pointed at two foreign figures he had never seen before. "Who are they, doc??". Ask innocent.

Asya crouched down a little after Ana, her arms outstretched around Ryan's already hairless head. "Sister's name, Asya. Sister here wants Ryan to play.. Ryan want??".

Ryan nodded happily then excitedly pulled Asya's hand towards the crowd of children his age. "These friends are Asya!!". Ryan was so hard on his friends.

His friends welcomed Asya's presence, they played, told stories and then laughed when there was something funny that helped nudge them.

Ana and Zidan watch Asya and the children from afar. Ana slightly turned towards Zidan, the sweet smile that had once disappeared is now rising back on the handsome face of her sister. "Are you sure you're dating Asya??". Ana nudges her sister's bulging body.

Zidan blinked a few times, then turned to look at Ana lekat. "I've never been this sure..". Zidan replied with great sincerity.

Ana pulled Zidan's hand to sit in the long chair, in the corner of the room. "You just met him, right?? why is that sure??".

Zidan sighed, remembering the past was the same as opening a scar on his heart. He had indeed liked Asya before and even continued until now. However, the memory of his family that was destroyed also left wounds there. Zidan is still disappointed with Asya and that cannot be denied. "I know him from High School.he's the guy I used to like..". Zidan replied after a long thought.

Ana's forehead frowned deeply, a sense of shock perched and then expressed through a smile. "So this old love hasn't been around yet??". Ana asked with a slight soft tone.

"Maybe..". Murmured Zidan ended the conversation and chose to go to Asya, because he knew his brother would definitely taunt him again.

"Asians..". Zidan sat next to the woman who was telling the story.

"What story??". His hand grasped the palm of Asya slowly.

Asya turned and stopped telling stories for a moment. A happy roar emanated clearly there, after the gloomy time he had faced for some time. "Secret..". Asya glanced at the sisters in front of him. "Will it be??".

"Yes..!!". Answer them compactly then laugh together.

Zidan who felt a little upset finally laughed to see the little children in front of him. Her feelings warm up, maybe this is what she called togetherness that she rarely gets. Family, a neatly closed keyword in his heart, buried in terrible memories when his parents were busy fighting and maintaining their own selfishness and decided to divorce.

Zidan took a long breath. He shouldn't have remembered that past, which he knew Asya played a big part in. Although Zidan did not know until now, that everything embedded is a misunderstanding.

✳✳✳

Raihan opened his heavy eyes, the pain in his head was buzzing so intensely, making him curl up and his trembling hands clutching his head hair quite strongly. Raihan realized this might be the effect of a lot of drinking from yesterday and ended last afternoon. Raihan tried to close his eyes forcibly, expelling the pain that increasingly tortured him.

Raihan got up, sat down and leaned on the sofa, his eyes trying to open glancing over the nightstand where the digital clock was placed. Growing up in the evening, can he contact Asya for a moment to find out the condition of the person he loves??.

Raihan's trembling hands, whipped a flat object lying on the floor close to where he was leaning. One contact with a special name, became what he was looking for at the moment. He pressed it and tried to wait for the connection, his hope was dashed so there was no answer from sebrang. But suddenly..

'Damn..'. The voice of the person he so longed for finally heard.

But suddenly his head again throbbed violently, Rihan grimaced pain and it could be heard until sebrang.

'Raihan?? you why??'

"Sickness Yes. aww. head I sakiiit..". Raihan complained with one hand holding his forehead.

'Where are you now??..'.

"A. I'm in Sya. arghh's apartment..". Raihan's weak body immediately fell back, the cellphone he held was released.

Sayup-sayup teedengar voice Asya from sebrang who said. 'Raihan. wait for me. I came there..'.
