Promises

65

Riana's boxed but Rey's grip is stronger. From the opposite direction a burly hand gripped Rey's wrist. His veins seemed to want to come out on the surface of his skin.

Devan stared intently at Rey, a look of dislike towards this man in front of him.

"Let go of your hands, man!" Devan's Sweat

Rey stared flat at Devan, he was not surprised to see the man suddenly on this island, what else if he did not want to accompany his wife. Slowly Rey took off her grip.

"Darling, do you know him?" Ask Devan.

"Hemm, he's Rey in my class." Riana replied diplomatically "Rey we'll excuse us first." Riana immediately pulled Devan's hand away.

*

"He's interested in you, isn't he?" Devan's question made Riana choke. Devan gave a glass of water to his wife.

"From your reaction he really likes you."

Riana flushed "Are you jealous of Mr. Devan?"

"Or."

Lovingly Riana clasped tightly onto Devan's pouting hand. "Yes Rey likes me but, you have to remember this! Even if there's a thousand Reys in the world who love me it's gonna lose to you, because I chose you, baby."

Devan looked up at his wife's honesty eyeballs. Riana stared in surprise as the man stood up leaving her seat.

Without any cue or Riana's readiness, Devan fused his lips together to make the girl's eyes bully in shock.

Some of the visitors stared timidly and there was also envy.

"What are you doing?"

"Do what I want to do." Devan's back where he belongs.

"But this is in Devan's public place, Lsee! We're the center of attention."

"Leave it, I kissed my wife not anyone's wife."

"Devan" growled Riana.

Devan only smiled faintly, a smile that misled Riana.

Drt... Drt...

Riana wakes up from her sleep when her phone vibrates and sees who is calling. It turned out that the girl that Riana had been looking for lately, without waiting for a long time Riana pressed the green button.

"Hello, Mo lo di..." Riana's question hung up as she heard the sound of sobs across the street.

"Hello Mo, you why? Lo where?" Riana's voice started to panic and worry

"Ri, get to a C-type hospital now! We'll see Hendry one last time."

*

"Mo's..." Shouted Riana, making the short-haired girl turn her eyes sidha because she kept crying.

"R... Hendry Ri, he's in a coma." Momo's crying broke.

Riana nodded in disbelief. "No way Mo, the old boy must have gotten us Mo." Momo continued to sob without refuting Riana's words.

"R..." Momo's desperate voice reassures Riana, but the girl still denies the truth.

Slowly Riana and Momo entered Hendry's room, Riana's steps stopped when she saw Hendry's mother and father hugging each other in her tears.

The gadia's heart grimaced looking at the handsome face that used to be very cheerful now lying helpless on the mattress, her body full of tools that Riana did not know for what.

Riana's plan approached the side of Hendry's bed followed by Momo.

"Hend, Hend dateng cave. Kenpa you've been in the same cave as Momo? Even to the end, you are still rich with us." Riana's cry broke as well as Momo's tears were unstoppable.

Riana turned to look at the two Hendry's parents. "Aunty tia" Riana squandered in the arms of Hendry's mother "Tante, what exactly happened? Why is Hendry like this?" Issue Riana.

"His secretary said in the last few months Hendry complained of a headache, last week he fainted and until now Hendry was unconscious. After the doctor traced out that there was a tumor and bleeding in her brain y Riana, she hid all her suffering all this time Riana."

Riana was surprised how much Hendry could take care of her, all this time Riana saw her best friend was fine.

"But Hendry can still be aware of it."

Tia was silent a thousand languages, the woman again sobbed her head in sorrow.

"Aunty...?" Riana turned her gaze towards Hendry's father who was also bowed, even the line of doctors who had been standing in the room had bowed. Until his gaze stopped on Angga who was in the back corner.

"Sister Angga.?" Riana's desperate voice made the man with tired face look up.

"R... Patience, this is Hendry's destiny.".

"Sister Angga I beg you, don't say that." Riana's cry broke again.

"For Hendry's case it's not easy Ri, although drugs, aids and a ventiator machine can help Hendry breathe so that his heart still beats he will not be aware and return to breathing on his own,

because her brain is no longer functioning Ri."

Like being struck by a storm in broad daylight Riana's soul seemed to be blown from a height. That means Hendry has no hope of living anymore.

"And today we are all gathered for the final tribute to Mr. Hendry, Riana."

Riana's eyes glared not understanding "What does Angga mean?"

"Today, all of Mr. Hendry's tools will be removed..."

Riana was shocked to not be able to hold her body support, fortunately Devan was quick to hold his wife's body. Riana sided in the arms of Devan spilling all her sadness.

Right now I'm looking like a fool, letting the girl I love cry the most and this is the last time you're gonna cry baby I promise you. Devan.
