Rheas

Part 3: Daffa

"Alright, I'll take care of your return. For a while I'll bring the doctor home. Either way you should stay in care."

Devian rushed to take care of Rhea's repatriation procedure. I don't know what it really means. Either because he was indeed afraid that his treatment of Rhea would be exposed or there were other intentions, such as giving the girl punishment.

Rhea's state was so weak, requiring Devian to carry her. He grabbed the girl and moved her to a wheelchair. He also pushed Rhea's wheelchair up to the car. All continued until they arrived at their residence as if nothing had ever happened.

"There's no one here. You can put me down now." pinta Rhea shrieked when both of them had disappeared behind the main door of their house.

Devian didn't obey. He continued to bring the girl into the room and put her body on the bed gently. He enveloped Rhea and sat by the side of the bed beside her.

"Who made you like this? My heart hurts to see it." Devian clasped Rhea's hand and made the girl feel confused by her attitude.

"Is he still playing? But for what?" rhea couldn't believe it.

Rhea was about to sit down to compensate for Devian's position, but Devian prevented him.

"Lay down, you need to rest. Your condition is not good."

Rhea according. Devian walked towards the kitchen and fetched a glass of water for Rhea complete with her medicines. He asked Rhea to drink it, and accompanied the girl to rest.

Honestly in Rhea's mind, she felt very scared. This unusual change in Devian could be a bad sign. But he still forced his eyes to shut because of the influence of drugs that make him feel sleepy.

In the depths of his heart, he could not even deny. That the position of Devian's body that is now holding it feels so warm and comfortable. This is the first time in my life I have felt that feeling.

"I'm sorry I still have to learn to love you. But I'll try Rhea. Don't go again, I'm afraid of a farewell." said Devian, who helped lead Rhea into her dreamland.

At 19:00 p.m...

Rhea woke up when her body was thrown rough to the point of chanting down from the bed. Again the corner of his forehead banged to the side of the nightstand for the umpteenth time.

Devian had just woken up from his deep sleep when he found the girl in his arms. His emotions exploded, and instantly pushed Rhea's body so hard.

"What's this about? What's wrong with her?" inner Rhea while grimacing.

"What are you doing? How dare you hug me like that, Huh!" snapped Devian as if in fidelity.

It had only been three hours since her sweet treatment of Rhea. But his nature now returns to the violent Devian.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the bathroom? How dare you come out and hug me like that!"

Rhea turned the memory inside her head, faintly she remembered the memory that happened in the morning after she was unconscious in the bathroom.

At that time one of the maids came and intended to clean the house, when he found Rhea unconscious in the bathroom. Maid took him to the hospital. But not yet at the hospital, there was someone who hit him from behind until he also fell with Rhea.

They were at the playground waiting for a taxi. But he can't remember anything else. How could he be in the hospital alone? Where's the maid?

"May he be angry at me for thinking I'm trying to escape?" rhea couldn't believe it.

"What the fuck? What happened to his attitude? Why do I feel so sincere?" rhea's own dialogue after Devian leaves her and locks the bathroom door.

He remembered how sweet Devian was before. Even Devian moved her to bed yesterday, when she was unconscious. But why is his attitude like this? It was as if he were two different people in one body.

Rhea's phone rang. His family's legal name is on there. Without thinking any longer, Devian also lifted the phone and acted as if the wife was asleep.

"I just want to make sure Mister to help Miss with her medicines. Tomorrow morning there's a consul with a disease doctor at 09:00 a.m. If you're busy, let me pick up Miss tomorrow morning."

"Hospital? Damnit damnit!! What's he doing this time?" inner Devian swearing.

"No, I'll drive him myself. Rhea had just taken her medicine and she was asleep" Devian said, trying to give a reasonable reason.

Devian closed his call and ran straight to the bathroom to meet Rhea. The girl fell asleep, her strength was completely exhausted coupled with the condition of her body which was in a bad state.

He shook Rhea's body a little with his feet, but the girl was unmoved. Devian finally relented and came down to rest right beside him.

"Did he do it again?" Devian looked at him meaningfully. I don't know what he meant by doing it again?

"Damn, even this girl is really sweet for me to waste." he said before he finally grabbed Rhea's body into his arms. He lifted Rhea's body up to the bed and laid her there.

"I'll ask him tomorrow. Now rest!" as if nothing ever happened between the two.

It was Devian. He did not even cover the girl at all and let her sleep soaked.

"You know, I still have a sense of compassion. You can't die that fast, your father still has to witness his son's suffering from up there." sneaky Devian grin.

Devian stepped out of his room and headed to the basement of his house which looked even more gripping than anywhere else in the house.

"You helped him? Aren't you too good at Daffa?" Devian gently stroked the top of the head of a young man who looked younger than him. A young man was lying helplessly on a bench in front of him.

His body was so pale, with a stinging stench that invited insects to gather there. Devian calls him Daffa, the elder brother who died a few months ago from a construction accident that happened to him in his last project with Aziel, Rhea's real father. At least that was how he knew, to lure all his actions to Rhea all this time.

Devian hated Aziel so much because of that. But since Daffa was not a child published by the family, he could not simply reveal his death.

He kept Daffa's body there complete with his favorite construction uniform as if he was staring at the young man sleeping from exhaustion instead of dying.

Devian was convicted of having multiple personalities after Daffa's departure. He seemed to live as two people at once, Daffa and himself. The white side in him was Daffa while the dark side belonged to himself.

He did not even mix up the memories of the two and ended up dazed after the exchange took place. It was as if Daffalah was possessing him and taking over his body all this time.

"Stop Daffa! Stop feeling sorry for her daughter just because her hands are doing nothing. He still has to make amends for his father's mistakes." Devian's dialogue alone.

"Whatdidyou say? Did I kill Aziel? Do you think that's equivalent to his betrayal of father and his treatment of you? Don't stop me if you don't want me to torture her even more."

Devian came out of the cellar by slamming the door and locking it back from the outside. Devian's current self looks more like a madman than one who has the ambition to finish off his enemy.
