Not the Ex-Friend

Chapter 63 Letting You go

Devano enters the VIP room at a cafe at Ernest's invitation in their group wa. He was immediately surprised to find Arya was already there as well.

“Ar, elo not be anterin Bianca home ?” Devano approached Arya to confirm her request.

The watch on his wrist was just 18:15. Is it possible that Arya was already in this place after dropping off Bianca ?

“Tadi Bianca home picked up her friend.”

“Who ?” Devano.

Arya pulled out her phone. The open wa application and the pressing of the name Bianca then showed it to Devano.

“Gue send photos to make sure that he really picked up with his friend.”

“Shit !” Devano immediately cursed when he found a photo of Bianca with Desta behind him.

Devano rushed out of the room while contacting someone.

“Why else ?” Asked Ernest who had just ordered food and drinks.

“Common about Bianca.” Aryan Sahut.

“No final decision yet ?” Joshua chuckled in light of his best friend's continuing problems despite having passed for more than 4 years.

As the conversation continued, Devano reappeared in the room.

“Sorry guys, I'm not following you tonight. There's a need.” Devano raised both his hands.

“Don't hang over time Bro,” chirps Joshua make the others laugh softly.

Devano behaved foolishly and left the room, rushing towards the parking lot.

With the help of Dimas, Devano manages to track down Bianca's whereabouts. The girl was in the restaurant with Desta.

Devano impatiently brought his car in the middle of heavy traffic because it was still hours home from work. It took 30 minutes to get to the destination.

“Can be Panru, Sir ?” A servant greeted him at the entrance.

“Order on behalf of Desta.”

Devano immediately replied as he spread his gaze around the room. And just seconds his eyes caught the figure he was looking for. Without waiting for help from the waiter, Devano stepped quickly towards Bianca and Desta's table.

“Devano !” Sizzle Bianca when she saw the figure of the man approaching and standing behind Desta. Bianca's position facing the entrance made her immediately see the arrival of Devano.

Desta who was cutting the steak immediately stopped and twisted his body. Devano was standing with a hostile face.

“Night Mr. Devano,” Desta immediately stood up and stretched out his hand but was ignored by Devano.

“Didn't you listen to my message earlier ?” With a flat face and a firm tone Devano looked at Bianca who instantly stopped her eating.

“Sorry Sir, but isn't this already outside of working hours?” Desta tries to defend Bianca but is again ignored by Devano.

“Can't you be responsible Bianca ?” That flat tone sounded full of emotion in Bianca's ears made the girl just subdue

“Sorry Mr. Devano..” Desta interrupted.

“My line with Bianca is still a work problem.” Cut Devano fast while looking at Desta with a sharp look.

“Oh sorry then,” Desta retreated slightly away.

Bianca is still confused by Devano's words. But considering the nature of Devano who lately likes to be determined to make Bianca finally relented.

“Sorry Sir, but the material I live in office.” Bianca told a lie. He's trying to keep up with Devano's game.

“Then you finish also tonight !” Devano grabbed Bianca by the arm and told her to get up.

“Sorry Sir,” Desta restrained Devano's other arm.

“At least let Bianca spend her dinner first.”

Devano glanced at his watch.

“Too late at night when you finish eating. Don't worry, I won't let it starve.” Devano smiled sinisterly at Desta.

Bianca jerked her hand until Devano's grip came off. Devano glared at him. Bianca grabbed her phone lying on the table and put it in the bag and got up.

“Sorry Brother Desta, I have to go back to the office first.” Bianca looked at Desta with a regretful face for having to follow Devano.

“Don't spend your food first Bianca?”

“As Mr. Devano said, he is afraid not to run away. I'll excuse you.”

Bianca bowed her body and took her seat, leaving Desta without waiting for the man's response. Devano followed him from behind.

Bianca headed straight for Devano's car without saying anything and got into it with a flat face.

“Why don't you listen to my message let Mr. Arya come home to drive you.”

Devano took Bianca to the coastal area north of Jakarta. After his car was parked, Devano opened the window and turned off the engine.

Bianca immediately took off her seatbelt and got out of the car while slamming the door. Bianca took off her shoes and took them and walked closer to the beach. There are benches of cement provided there.

Devano, who was originally just staying in the car, finally chose to approach Bianca after closing the windshield.

“Can't you answer my question since. Why didn't you follow my orders to go home with Mr Arya ?”

Devano stood near Bianca and asked back in a fierce tone.

Bianca was silent. He threw his gaze in the opposite direction to Devano's position.

“Bianca Aprilia !” Devano exclaimed while blocking the girl's arm.

Bianca got up from her seat and positioned herself face to face with Devano. The man in front of him stood unable to contain his surprise when he saw Bianca's cheeks wet with tears.

“Devano Putra Wijaya's honorable father, what should I do to you to make you treat me like a normal human being ?” Bianca said with great emphasis. He was no longer able to hold back his emotions that were spilled through his tears.

“Indeed you feel being treated as a human is not the norm?” Cynical Devano.

“Bas a coward !” Bianca hit Devano's chest with all her might making the man grimace even though his body was not shifting.

“Why should I like the same cowardly men like elo ! I hate it ! I hate !” Bianca had hit Devano's chest before finally sagging down.

Devano was flinched by Bianca's attitude. All these years of knowing her, Bianca has never reacted like tonight. His emotions were overflowing and his cries though noiseless but heart-wrenching. Even when Nindi oppressed him, Bianca was never what she is today.

“If you have understood my nature and consider me a coward, why would you still want to try to get close to me ?”

Devano with his formal language still stands staring at Bianca. Heart's churning. There was a desire to lift the girl up and embrace her in his arms. But his promise to someone made him stick with his attitude.

“Why elo hate me so much?” Bianca's great-grandson on the sidelines of her stuffing.

“I don't hate you, but never think like most people if I like you.”

Devano was about to pass but Bianca held her hand. The girl got up again and held onto both of Devano's arms.

“Devano,” Ogre Bianca.

Devano did not reply and did not return Bianca's gaze.

“Devano.” Call Bianca back. “Can I look at me for a minute.” Bianca changed her words no longer I elo like before.

“I promise Devano, please look at me just this once. Be the Devano I know like 8th grade. Just this once.” Bianca pleaded with a clear tone.

Devano tried hard to fight his little heart. His promise four years ago made him determined to release Bianca and erase the shadow of Bianca in his memory.

Devano stomps Bianca's hand violently and intends to leave Bianca. But Bianca's hand held him back.

“Devano, I will stop loving you, expecting you and wipe away your shadow clean in my heart until it is not there. Give me 4 weeks. Only 4 weeks left, I will finish everything well.” Bianca could no longer hold back her tears.

“Can you treat me better in these 4 weeks ?”

Devano was silent with his back to Bianca.

“I will not change my decision again with your good attitude in these 4 weeks. I beg.”

Bianca released her grip on Devano's arm when there was no reaction from the man. Without saying anything, Devano continued his steps and left Bianca.

Devano got into the car and left the parking lot. No matter what Bianca is still near the beach.

“Can you release the girl for someone who is like a brother to you ? All this time he sacrificed for your happiness, everything he did for your good even replaced your position. That girl's. He loves that girl. Let go of her for her.”

The demand four and a half years ago always rang in Devano's mind. And his promise that he would let go of Bianca made him harden his heart and try to be rude to make Bianca hate him.

But the sincerity of Bianca's heart that radiated through the look in her eyes, made the girl stay afloat even though Devano tried to hurt her.

Devano hit the steering wheel several times while stopping at a red light. He leaned over for a moment to the steering wheel. When looking at the side of the passenger seat next to him, in his heart Bianca bag was left there. Even Bianca's phone is on the seat.

Devano. How can Bianca go home without money and her phone to book a taxi or anything ? While the position of the beach they come to is somewhat at the end and rarely passed by a taxi.

Devano immediately turned his car back around the nearest corner. His little heart was incapable of lying, worry stifled his chest.

Devano rushed down when his car was back in position. His eyes immediately combed through where Bianca last stood as he left her. But no figure was found looking for. Only a few other visitors and food vendors were there.

Devano approached a nearby shop but the guard did not see Bianca.

Devano returned to his car and drove slowly through the exit, hoping to find Bianca. For an hour, Devano began to feel tired.

Devano pulled over and picked up Bianca's phone. He tried to open it but put the password there. Devano turns to pick up his phone and contacts Dimas, asking for his help back to find Bianca's whereabouts.

The reliable dimas gave the news in just 10 minutes. Devano breathed a sigh of relief as it turned out that Bianca had already arrived home.

Devano threw a sideways glance. From a distance can be seen the reflection of moonlight over the sea water that stretches wide.

Devano slid his face into the steering wheel. It is difficult to fight against the heart if a loved one continues to approach and stick like a shadow. But Devano has promised to release Bianca to another heart.
