Devada walked indefinitely. Emotions have mastered it perfectly, killing awareness and empathy. She did not care about the chaos around caused by her arrogance. The girl who was almost dying continued to ruin everything along the foot. Fire-roasted buildings. Human and animal bodies affected with terrible burns. Cars collide with each other, screams of tears of children. Lago Sul is boiled with the sound of fire trucks, police sirens, and ambulance sirens.
“Mommy …!”
For more than twenty years of living in the shadow of torture, now the answer about Jess’ hatred of her has been answered. Who is to blame? She never asked to be born from whose womb. In fact, she never knew that the disaster was part of the conditions for her to see a world that lured various kinds of beauty. All the flare feelings confuse her heart. On the one hand, Devada felt very sinful to Jess, and Elfara. To the extent, Elfara assumed that Jess only loved her. Even with her mommy, she was only a victim who expressed her pain, even in a cruel way. However, on the other hand, she felt sorry for herself. Child of Satan, that’s what she thought. There is nothing to blame, even though all the complexity starts from the brain lodged in Nick’s head.
“Hi, girl! Walk using your eyes and feet! You ruined my wares! ” A young man with blonde-haired blabbering while looking at his eggs that broke out because it was hit by Devada. Devada succeeded in provoking the anger of the egg seller. The girl turned around when the tip of her hair was pulled.
“Get away! I have nothing to do with you! ” Exclaimed Devada. However, the young man pulled the corner of his lips.
“You said something that easily after breaking all the eggs of my merchandise? You are crazy! No wonder you are battered like that. Surely, you are beaten by the masses after making a problem.” Unwittingly, the young man had made Devada’s dark side rise even more with full density.
The heat wave that rolled out, Devada’s consciousness increasingly rising. There is no word for anyone who dares to disturb her at this time. She made the young man suffer a broken bone without further ado. In fact, it still continued to beat him when the poor man was no longer empowered. The sound of the trash rolling was heard when the big body of the egg seller was bounced on it. The young man’s body bent without resistance, even though only a word.
“Stop it!” The voice of a woman stopped the iron that was almost devastating to the young man’s head.
“Why did you hurt the person you actually harmed?” asked a brown-robed woman who only showed her eyes. Devada grinned with hatred.
“Don’t interfere in my business!” Press Devada, the iron in the grip she clasped on the ground to make a distinctive sound.
“All people who act anarchist and harm the weak person will be my business!” Devada’s jaw hardened. She launched a brutal attack on a woman acting like the hero. However, the robed woman accepted it very calmly. Until in the end, Devada’s brutality turned to destroy herself.
“Go, and no longer make trouble if you don’t want to deal with the law and complicate your own life!” The woman reminded, then went to bring the young man who was targeted by Dev’s anger. As soon as that, the police car came patrolling. Devada stood with the remaining energy to avoid police tantrums. Her defeat warned that there was still heaven in the sky. She returned to walk with an empty guide, following wherever the wind blows.
“Am I the devil born from a betrayal?” Words softly furious from the tongue that initially felt out. The pain came back with a bigger dose. After that, the silence accompanied along the trail left behind.
The anger continued to take her wandering until she arrived at a steep field full of loose rocks, while her soul was getting wrapped in a pile. Devada is still adrift, ignoring the bones of the body supporting the body screaming on the threshold. On a wooden bridge that shade the clear running water, Devada’s body raised the white flag. Jump to the black dot, not shine.

The breeze whistled, rubbing Devada’s face. She blinked. A woman floating blurry on the lens of the eye. The pain and pain immediately ambushed the whole body. The girl widened half her eyes to be able to see clearly the Latin woman who looked at her in annoyance.
“Good thing you’re awake!” Devada gasped when the stranger smacked her head.
“Who are you?” Devada asked, holding her heavy head.
“Don’t ask me who I am! Just look at what you’ve done!” Devada’s eyes darted around, she was surprised when she realized she was in a forest that ….
“Did a fire just break out?” Devada’s eyes were still watching the smoke billowing everywhere.
“Yes, and you have to take responsibility!” said the woman, her curls blowing in the wind.
“What does that have to do with me? I didn’t bring a match or anything, so don’t accuse me!” snapped Devada.
“Hey! Are you stupid or what?” Hearing those stupid words, Devada got watching the girl’s black eyes while tightly gripping her wrists. For a moment, the owner of the exotic skin was stunned to see the line on Devada’s face, which implied a lot of anger.
“You didn’t bring any lighters or fire-igniting materials with you, but you did it with the power you have! Don’t you see all the mess you’ve created? If I don’t put out the fire soon, many species will surely die in this forest! Besides, you’re also causing trouble in the city. Didn’t you hear the shrill screams of the police and firefighters? You killed a lot of people!” The girl’s explanation suddenly made Devada’s grip off.
“That’s not possible!” avoid it. She couldn’t believe the words of the girl she had just seen. How could she do it? What she remembers is only one, namely the young man she had injured on the street.
“How can there be people who have supernatural powers, but can’t control it or maybe don’t know about it?” The woman smiled crookedly as she folded her arms across her stomach.
“How do you know?” said Devada.
“You think?” Devada is now silent, no longer showing her annoyed expression. Her brain quite understood the rhetorical sentence proposed by the figure in front of her.
“I’m Nania!” Devada fell silent when the girl with the sharp chin extended her hand. Hesitating, Dev shakes the hand.
“Devada!”
“You have to clean yourself first before I treat you. There is a waterfall, you can wash your body with it!” said Nania, pointing to a waterfall not far from where they were standing. Quickly, Devada did as Nania ordered.
“Wait!” Devada turned her head when Nania stopped her steps.
“What would you do?” Devada’s eyes rolled. What kind of ridiculous question is that?
“Like you said, I’m going to take a bath.” she said.
“Not like that! If you threw yourself in there, it would be disgusting. You know, I used that water for drinking.” The girl groaned.
“You are insanity!” Devada cursed. Feeling annoyed being played by Nania.
“Yeah, I’d be crazy if I had to drink your bath water!” said Nania while showing an expression of wanting to vomit.
“Then what should I do? You’re the one who told me to take a bath, and you’re the one who said I took a bath there!”
“Yeah, but that’s not how it works! I’ve prepared a bucket. You take what you need and shower somewhere else! And remember, you’re do not completely naked!” Nania moved the index finger of her right hand. Just like a mother warning her daughter.
“Why is that girl so complicated?” Nania who was about to leave suddenly gave up. She replied to Devada’s words, which sounded soft. “You … are you really not a girl?” Devada doesn’t answer, she focuses on fetching water in annoyance. After that, she rubbed the blood stains on the body gently, then rinsed the five buckets she took five times.
After Devada’s body was clean and wearing the clothes that had been prepared, Nania bandaged the wounds with crushed herbal occasionally then, Devada grimaced. Especially with the wounds on the back. Nania smeared it more carefully.
“What are you really doing?” Nania tried to erode her high curiosity.
“It doesn’t matter!” Sighing softly, Nania chose not to ask again.
“Why don’t you just use your power to heal my wounds?”
“What? You are so ungrateful. Irritating!”
“I will go! Thank you for helping me!”
“Where are you going?”
“Where have you been!”
“Okay, it’s up to you. Remember, no more trouble, or I will come again as your opponent!” Devada’s brows furrowed. What does that sweet girl mean?
