Promises

Devan covered the body of his wife who had fallen asleep earlier. Just celebrating the moonlight out there Devan opened the black bag he took the other day from his apartment, he pulled out the old book that had been torn on the cover.

His face hesitated a little when making the call.

"I'm Devan, when do you have time?" Devan asked someone on the other side of the phone.

"Okay" Devan turned off the phone.

Just making a short call seemed like Devan was so tired that his sweaty hair came out. He breathed a sigh of relief along with that he leaned his back to relax a little.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?"

A gentle voice made Devan glance sideways, a curved smile at the end of her lips found Riana already standing near her. Devan pulled Riana to sit on his lap.

"Is there a problem in the office?" Riana said gently, she looked lovingly at her husband's face

"No dear. Why are you awake? Am I bothering you?" He asked while gently stroking his wife's long mane.

"No, I woke up because you weren't next to me."

Devan smiled at the spoiled attitude of his wife, once a jolt he carried Riana to lay her on the bed. Devan cradled full of Riana's body, gently stroking her back until the girl drowned in a dream.

Devan had to postpone some of his meetings because of something much more important. The steps are in line with the service that leads him to the VIP room at the Japanese restaurant until finally they stop right in front of room 212. Gracefully, the maid opened the bamboo material door in front of Devan.

"Welcome Mr. Devan" said a beautiful woman with a mole under her lips

"A long time ago we didn't meet you, it's been fascinating to Devano." He said with a smile floating on his face

"I don't need your flattery Scarlite, I'm asking you to meet for something."

"Liet Devan, you're always in a hurry. We haven't even ordered food." The girl was getting upset.

"okay... Okay. Speak mister sucks." Scarlite said her cheerful face instantly sank, a cold gaze as if tore at the heart that was staring at her.

"I need your help, my best friend is dying and he needs a heart donor. I'm sure it's an easy treat for you Scarlite" Devan said at the core.

For a moment the girl looked at Devan's face so seriously. "Looks like he's the most important person in your life, Devano. But, this job is quite difficult and not cheap ." Said Scarlet, leaning on herself.

"Whatever it costs I'll pay."

"It's not about Mr. Devan's expense, if it's any other organ it might be easy for me to find a donor for you. But, this core organ is just a brain-dead patient who can donate Devan's heart, even if his family wants to." Evidently

"I've been working in this field for a long time so it's hard to get what you want."

"I know that but at least you helped me. You're my last straw, Scarlite."

The girl was amazed this time Devan begged her like this.

Scarlite smiled sinisterly as she crossed her legs gracefully

"Is she a woman, is she your lover?"

"No, he's a man."

"Okay, I'll try and make it mine."

"Sure! If you can make him fall in love." Devan stood up from his seat. "I'm expecting you Scarlite."

Nodding Scarlet who is almost invisible. "You can send me the medical records. Maybe it'll take a little Mr. Devan's time."

"I'm reading you." Devan walked away from Secarlite who was still staring straight ahead.

"You're still the same as Devan." Lirinya smiled cynically.
