Shackles Love, Brutal Mafia

Nostalgic

Nevan, who had fallen asleep after seeing Reva's photo album, woke up after hearing the sound of typing that had filled the room.

Nevan turned to the clock on the wall which turned out to have shown at 3 pm which means he had been asleep for almost 7 hours, while Reva was still cool in front of his computer.

"What are you doing?" Nevan asked Reva and hugged her from the back of the chair

"Tracking my mother and the others.. " Reply Reva answered nothing from the computer screen

His eyes were busy alternately staring at the computer in turn because he was currently working on several things at once.

"I know you're a great hacker. But I didn't think that you were this good.. " Talk Nevan with her now resting her head on Reva's shoulder while her hands are coiled around Reva's waist

"of course. I've learned it since I was a child, how could my abilities be mediocre" Praise Reva for herself

Nevan just smiled admitting "So how? Can you track him?" Ask Nevan later

"Yet. My mom is really good at hiding herself.. " Reva replied with a heavy sigh because since then he had tried his best but could not trace the location of his mother

However, his ability was still below when compared to his mother's ability.

"When are you done? It's been 7 more hours we've been in this room"

"That long? I didn't realize it at all" Reva said, then stopped his movement

"Yes. You should stop first, it is not good if you spend time in front of a computer screen too long" said Nevan worried about Reva's health especially his eyes

"alright. Come outside. I'm also hungry now" said Reva holding his stomach which began to sound

The two then exit the room with Reva twitching on Nevan's arm while descending the stairs.

...

"You are not even married, it is not inappropriate to stay alone in the room for that long" Reproved a voice from the living room that is none other than Bela, said Bela, Stepmother Reva who now looks at the two especially Reva with a cynical look

"Urus is your own business.. " Reply Reva

"Sister.. " Call Kristin who is also there with her fiance Gavin

"What's wrong? Didn't your mother warn you to stop being hypocritical in front of me"

"Revaa.. " This time it was Gavin's turn who had deliberately come to visit to meet with Reva

"Once again you see my bad side, I hope you can pretend you didn't see it because I did it only to hypocrites like them" Reva said with a smirk

"Take your word Reva.. "

Reva just grunted in annoyance, then pulled up Nevan's arm intending to come out "I'm leaving, you better get out of here soon, it'll be really bad if you contract the vices of the brand" Reva teased Gavin

Gavin only chuckled at Reva's words. While Kristin is now clenching her hands full of anger, because of Reva's treatment that has really been outrageous, especially in front of her fiance.

"When did you guys know each other?" Ask Kristin then

"Not so long ago. I met him a few times. And also he was friendly with my cousin that's why I got to know him" Gavin replied back to being mediocre

If not for the coercion of his family, he would never have accepted an arranged marriage with this girl he did not love. Because of this reason, he vented his frustration by racing in city x which then made him meet with Reva, the girl he loved, who he loved, although his feelings are already impossible to reply given Reva who will soon be married to Nevan.

Meanwhile, Nevan and Reva leave the house and go to a simple restaurant that was once frequented by Reva at school.

As if nostalgic, Reva felt moved to be able to come back to this place, especially because choosing from this place was considered Reva like his own parents.

"Somehow are they now.. " Say Reva then go inside looking for the figure she missed

Right after Reva stepped in, she quickly approached an old woman at the cashier.

"Bi Eka's.. " Call Reva then

The woman turned her head after hearing the slightly familiar voice of "Reva? You really Reva?" Ask is unexpected

Reva then nodded her head saying "Yes Bi, it's me Reva, I'm home.. " Answer Reva

"You've come home" Bi Eka quickly walked up to him and hugged Reva's body tightly

Both of them were crying in their arms. During this time Bi Eka only lived alone with her husband, both of them did not have children, which is why they both considered Reva as their own child because Reva who always came to the restaurant, either just to eat or even cause trouble for the two if he gets into a fight.

"Who is he?" Bi Eka asked then, after a meeting with Nevan who had been silently watching the two

"Oh, know Bi. She's my future husband, Nevan" said Reva pulling Nevan's arm over to him

"C-prospective husband? You're getting married?" Bi Eka asked again not expecting the shocking news

"Yes. The wedding is three weeks away, so I hope Bi Eka can come along with uncle" Pinta Reva holds Bi Eka's hands

"Your husband is going to the market. He will definitely be very happy if he hears this happy news" said Bi Eka moved

"Because you've come, let auntie make you some food. You must be hungry" Bi Eka then enthusiastically returned to the kitchen to prepare to make both meals

As before, nothing has changed in this restaurant. Even the tables and chairs that were once often carved by Reva out of boredom still remained in place.

"Look, the tables and chairs I carved back then are still here. Aunty would scold me if I carved her desk.. " Say Reva chuckled watching all the carvings on the table

Nevan just smiled looking at Reva who was currently laughing. It was rare to be able to see him laughing happily like this moment. In any part like this, sometimes he hopes that time can stop.

....

A little while later, Bi Eka came up with various foods on the tray and served them on the table.

"Aunti has made your favorite food, savory spicy Shrimp" said Bi Eka serving fried shrimp dishes in front of Reva who is now impatient to taste it

"Still Bi.. " Say Reva intended to take one but was immediately restrained by Nevan

"Let me help you peel it.. " Say Nevan put on plastic gloves, then peeled the shrimp

"I think he's a creepy guy" Inner Bi Eka looked at Nevan unexpectedly, since his meeting earlier he constantly felt depressed because of the intimidating air of his, especially his flat face with sharp eyes that had become a habit of Nevan when meeting other people

"He's not as scary as he looks isn't Bi?" Tanya Reva noticed

"That's right. Aunty thinks he's a creepy person, it turns out he's so considerate" said Bi Eka now not feeling too scared

Reva only chuckles to notice Nevan who is busy peeling the shrimp for her. Even if he was creepy, he would not likely show it before him.
