Not the Ex-Friend

Chapter 48 The Secrets of Devano

30 Minutes of travel without conversation. Diana falls asleep in the car while Bianca's mind drifts around thinking about what will happen between her and Devano.

The car entered the gate of the mansion after a security guard opened the door. Bianca clucked and was amazed by the magnificent building that was plastered in front of her now. From the window of the car looks Bianca fascinated with the Wijaya family home.

“Di.. In, wake up.” Bianca patted Diana's shoulder softly as the car had stopped in front of a wooden door nearly 5 meters high.

Diana blinked her eyes and stretched her body for a moment.

“Sorry I overslept.”

“Nothing In. Looks like it's up.”

Three servants who came out of the main door were waiting and the driver opened the door to Diana's side.

Bianca opened the car door and walked around to the terrace.

“Sayang.” Mama Angela appeared at the door and shook her hand.

Diana approaches Agela's mother and hugs her for a while and lets Bianca change to meet Angela's mother.

“Honey Bianca, how are you?” Mama Angela immediately hugged Bianca while rubbing Bianca's back.

“Good Aunt. It's also nice to see aunty again and look sehar.” Bianca smilingly looked at mama Angela after their embrace came off.

Mama Angela immediately embraced Bianca's arm and stepped in following Diana first.

“You take a shower first yes, only later we chat.”

“Sorry I did not bring a change of clothes Aunt.”

Diana stops her steps and turns around so face off against Bianca and Angela's mother.

“Let's just relax, the clothes I picked were in the mall.

For the underwear I've asked aunt Sri to prepare a new set. It's in the guest room.”

“Then you take a shower first, we will chat.”

And this is where Bianca is again being ignored the condition of the guest room prepared for her. The grocery bag that Diana had given her had already been placed on the dressing table. A change of clothes complete with underwear has been prepared on the bed.

Bianca gave her eyes. Simple furniture but looks luxurious and expensive complete the room. There is one more door that Bianca is sure is the bathroom.

Bianca stepped out the door that had been slightly opened and saw a luxurious bathroom complete with bathup, shower and wastsfel that was very luxurious for Bianca and made her cluck several times.

Just looking at the situation of the guest room only makes Bianca feel not comparable to Devano The guest room complete with a luxurious bathroom cannot be compared to the condition of her family home.

But given the attitude of parents and sister Devano who is so friendly and kind to him, makes Bianca feel a little better because it remains accepted even though the state of her family is inversely proportional to the Devano family.

30 Minutes Bianca completes the ritual of bathing and dressing up thinly for dinner today. He stared at the shadow of himself wearing a knee-length peach dress with a mix of laces on his collar and underneath. Diana's choice was very suitable for Bianca's taste, only the price alone made Bianca immediately a headache

Bianca opened the door and looked to the left right looking for the figure of Diana or mama Angela. Confused where to go because not familiar with the layout of this large house.

“Nona, mistress is waiting in the dining room.” A servant approached Bianca and walked ahead of Bianca to the dining hall.

“Please.” The servant bowed slightly and was replied with a nod and a thank you from Bianca.

“Beauty.” Mama Angela who just finished cutting the cake immediately greeted Bianca.

Bianca smiled and approached Angela's mother.

“Such fragrance. Aunt make your own ?”

“Iya, you have to try.”

Bianca took the prepared piece of cake on the plate and a waiter brought a glass of juice in front of them.

“Sound really Aunt.” Bianca raised her thumb after one mouthful of cake ran out in her mouth.

“Truly ?”

Bianca nodded while putting one piece back in.

“Mama you are also good at making cakes.”

“Mama more often make Auntie.” pastries

While chatting, Bianca turned her head left and right looking for Diana who had not been seen.

“Diana said she wanted to take a nap. Last night finish the task until 2 am. Later after dinner just ask to be woken.” Mama Angela immediately explained when she saw Bianca's eyes circulating her gaze.

“If it's done, Auntie would like to take you to Devano.”'s room

Bianca chokes when she hears Angela's mother. The middle-aged woman laughed as she patted Bianca on the back.

“Don't be nervous so.”

Bianca's face immediately met with red.

Not long ago Angela's mother took Bianca to the 2nd floor and showed her some of the rooms that were there including Diana's room. Now the two of them were standing in front of the brown wooden door and were opened by mama Angela.

“Log !” Mama Angela told Bianca to follow her when she saw the girl still standing at the door.

Bianca hesitated. The gray-white room depicts its masculine owner. Bianca gave her eyes. The large bed is in the middle complete with a nightstand on his right left. The room's fragrance reminded Bianca of the masculine Devano figure at school even after a workout.

“Sini Bianca.” Mama Angela broke Bianca's daydream, called her over and asked her to sit next to her on the long sofa that was there.

Bianca approached Angela's mother who was holding a shoe box. Bianca sat down next to Angela.

“Block !” Mama Angela moved the shoebox to Bianca's lap.

Bianca looked at Angela's mother for a moment to make sure she could open and look inside. Mama Angela nodded with a smile.

A little nervous, Bianca opened the shoebox cover. His eyes immediately widened when he saw the contents within.

He took a keychain with a puppet picture. He remembers very well that the keychain was a gift from him to Devano as his family filled the year-end holiday to Jogjakarta. They were in 9th grade. And Bianca who had already started to put her heart on Devano specifically bought the guy a different key chain, specifically bought it in one of the famous batik shops. For other friends, Bianca bought keychain souvenirs as well which she bought in Malioboro.

In addition to the keychain, Bianca also found an envelope of love letters that had been given to Devano. His condition is very shabby and dirty in some parts. And to his surprise, under the envelope was Bianca's photos ! The photos were candidly taken in various poses, even when Bianca was filling out the event at a school event. And not only during SMA but also when they were still SMP.

“Now you understand why om, aunt and Diana are so sure that Devano has the same taste as you.”

Mama Angela stroked Bianca's back.

“Your love letter is not the first and only one for Devano but only your letter is the only one kept by him.”

Bianca was still looking through the photos stored in the shoebox.

“Devano must also be tormented because it has to cover up his feelings since Junior High. And you want to know why ?”

Bianca raised her face and looked at mama Angela with sadness.

“I know that Devano has been betrothed to Opa Ruby, Auntie. I...”

Mama Angela raised her index finger and brought it closer to Bianca's lips.

“The match was only Opa Ruby and Arini's wish, not om and aunt as her parents. Don't you torture each other anymore.”

Bianca smiled bitterly.

“After four years Aunty passed. I'm not sure if Devano still keeps the same flavor as the contents of this box.”

“Tante is sure that Devano is not a person who easily shifts his feelings.”

Mama Angela rubbed Bianca's hair lovingly with a smile.

“Last om and aunt met him during the year-end holidays. That was about 7 months ago. Devano is still a cold, flat man as you know him. We are sure that Devano has not learned to love others.”

Bianca. Although his heart was happy to see the contents of the box that was on his lap, but there was little doubt in Bianca's heart. If Devano likes him so much, why does he insist on fighting against his heart ? Moreover, the whole family except Opa Ruby is very supportive of Devano to establish a relationship with Bianca.

“This box was discovered not long after Devano left for America for college. Neatly stored in the corner of Devano.” wardrobe

“This photo can be for my Aunt ?” Bianca took one of the photos she found in the box.

In the photo, it is seen that Devano took a selfie against the background of Bianca who was standing on the edge of the basketball court. Seen the purpose so that they are in one frame of the photo.

Devano smiled faintly. A smile that Bianca has rarely seen as long as they start entering the SMA level.

“Bianca, om and aunt believe that your love will end sweetly. Please help me be a little more patient. Om and even Diana's aunt will always give you support. Opa Ruby problem, om and aunt who will talk directly so that opa release Devano from the load.”

“How about it turns out Devano doesn't like me anymore, Auntie ?”

Mama Angela smiled and grabbed Bianca's shoulder.

“Don't be too pessimistic, dear. It is not easy to throw away pent-up taste for five years.”

Bianca took a deep breath and again lowered her face staring back at the contents of the box in her lap. Mama Angela was still rubbing her back.

Happiness rises in Bianca's heart when she learns that her feelings don't clap one hand. Even his mind was reminded of the last event at the Rainbow Cafe as they sang together. Although Devano did not say anything, the man also did not get angry or say ketus when Bianca subconsciously held Devano's hand.

Will the span of four years not change the flavor that exists between us Devano ? Inner Bianca.
