15. Cruel Cousin
The clock shows 3 pm, Davina has just finished taking a shower and intends to relax watching the Korean Drama she has been waiting for the episode. The woman relaxed her position lying on her stomach on her king-size bed.
She's hand slowly opened her notebook and prepared to play her favorite drama. Until her intention was stopped when she heard the ringing of her phone from above her dressing table.
Reluctantly, Davina got up from her bed and took the cell phone. Davina's brow furrowed in surprise when she saw Nara's name displayed on the flat object's screen.
"Nara? Suddenly she contacted me, is there a problem?" Davina muttered, then immediately picked up the phone from Nara.
"...Hello?" Nara's voice from the other side.
"Yes. What is it Nara?" said Davina.
"Can you meet me now? I'm with Mama. I need your help," asked Nara who sounded very panicked.
"You're all right, aren't you? Are you hurt?" Davina asked starting to panic.
"You'd better get over here and don't waste time. I'll send the address!" said Nara firmly and immediately ended the call.
Davina was silent as she looked at the cell phone in her hand. The beautiful woman was still confused about the intention of Nara who suddenly wanted to invite her to meet. It is true that as long as Davina is married and lives with Revan, they have not seen each other again.
But isn't Nara's way of asking Davina to meet her not polite enough? Nara should have explained what happened before hanging up the phone.
Not long after the incoming message from Nara was received by Davina. The address indicated that Nara and her aunt were in the city's shopping center. Looks like the two of them had just as much fun as usual.
Davina could only sigh and smile faintly. She knew exactly what her cousin was like. Davina slowly walked to open her closet door to change clothes.
Yes, of course, Davina will go to see Nara and her aunt. Although Davina doesn't know what reason she has come to see Nara, Davina is not that cruel to let her cousin get into trouble and needs her help.

On the other side, Nara and Sarah were busy picking out some expensive clothes in a famous boutique within the city's shopping mall. The two women had already chosen many clothes and also some quite expensive dresses.
"Are you sure that Davina will come here? Doesn't the child suspect anything?" Sarah asked her daughter.
"Tsk, Mama, take it easy. Mama knows how Davina is, she's just a stupid girl we can take advantage of. Seeing that we're in trouble, the girl will take pains to help us," said Nara lightly.
Sarah chuckled a little at the answer from her daughter. Davina is indeed the type of person who is more than kind. So it's not uncommon for Sarah and Nara to often take advantage of Davina's kindness for their benefit.
"You're also right, I don't know how long that girl will always be stupid and easy to fool. You are indeed my smartest daughter," said Sarah to Nara.
"Do you have how many daughters you have to say 'most'...?" snorted Nara did not like it.
"The one and only one. Don't be too serious, understand?" said Sarah while embracing her daughter's body affectionately.
Nara smiled faintly at the sweet treatment from her mother. They also resumed their shopping activities until they picked up some more expensive items.
They chose expensive clothes for a long time until Davina came over to them both. Seeing Davina's arrival made Sarah and Nara very happy.
"What's wrong, Auntie? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Davina asked with great concern for her aunt.
Sarah also put on a pitiful face like holding back tears to get more sympathy from Davina.
"Nara and I bought some clothes and dresses here, but Nara's credit card seems to have a limit. Can you help aunty pay for it?" Sarah pleaded.
"Y-yea, I didn't know that my card couldn't be used anymore. It seems like papa has also restricted it. Help us Davina..." added Nara.
Davina was silent for a moment looking at Nara and her aunt in turn. Then a few seconds later, Davina sighed in resignation. At first, Davina thought that something serious had happened to her aunt and cousin, but it turned out that she was only called to pay for their groceries, which seemed not to be small.
Davina was silent for a long time, making Nara feel a little impatient. The girl nudged her mother's arm giving a code to make Davina immediately give her decision whether to pay for their groceries or not.
"Davina..." Sarah called softly.
"Okay, I'll pay for all of Aunt and Nara's groceries," Davina immediately walked to the cashier and finished paying for Sarah and Nara's groceries.
There are more than 7 shopping bags, and the total paid by Davina is more than 15 million. Fortunately, Revan gave Davina more spending money, which was specifically for Davina's needs, but it seems that Davina doesn't need it all.
With pleasure, Sarah and Nara accepted the shopping bag that was given by Davina. The two women smiled broadly at Davina, even though in their hearts they were laughing out loud seeing how stupid Davina was that they could easily take advantage of her.
"Is there anything else I have to pay for?" Davina asked with a straight face.
"N-nothing. Thank you, Davina..." Sarah said still with her fake smile.
"Next time you need money, don't bother me to come to see you two. This annoys me," Davina snapped, holding her arms.
Of course, this succeeded in making Sarah and Nara surprised. They didn't know that Davina had other traits than they usually knew. Indeed, since when Davina can be arrogant like this? This was not the Davina trait they had known before.
"Do you think I'm that stupid? Can you use it as you please?" Davina asked with a crooked smile.
"What do you mean? Why do you say that? I don't..."
"Tsk, what a two-faced woman!" cut Davina casually.
"Crazy girl. Is this how you thank Aunt for taking care of you?" Sarah growled, feeling despised by Davina.
Seeing Sarah who was having the most emotional trouble made Davina smile lightly because she felt that what she said was true.
"Auntie said take care of me? Like what? Like Aunt scolding me for no reason? Hit me without me knowing what I did wrong? Or... Even aunt once harmed me just because I chose to be with my lover instead of giving up your semi-daughter? Is that how Auntie takes care of me?"
Questions kept popping out of Davina's tiny mouth, the young woman was still bringing up how her past was when she lived with her aunt. Her heart still hurts when she remembers how cruelly Sarah treated Davina.
Davina used to be just a weak teenager, but now Davina is an adult and can determine how her life will be. Now with all her feelings, she ventured to fight Aunt and her cousin.
Davina must be able to turn things around. She didn't want to be constantly under Sarah's or Johan's control. It was enough for her to decide to marry based on her uncle's business arrangement. Now she will not want to be an ATM for her uncle's family.
"For me, every time you ask for what I have, I just assume that I give alms to people in need," said Davina with great emphasis.
"You?!" Nara's hand flew in the air to slap Davina, but the girl refused.
Davina's beaded pair looked at Nara with a look as if they wanted to kill her right then and there. This made Nara's guts shrink in fear.
"If you dare to injure my limbs even the slightest, then you will pay for it many times over!" Davina threatened not kidding.
Nara immediately fell silent and lowered her hand. Meanwhile, Davina immediately walked away from Sarah and Nara, without even saying goodbye.
"Don't expect you to be able to use me as you please again. I'm a fool for not daring to fight you guys in the first place, but don't expect you to get away with it. I will make you regret what you have done to me!" Davina said in her heart with a crooked smile.
While Sarah and Nara were still standing in front of the boutique shop in silence because they were too surprised by Davina's change in attitude, which was completely different from before.
It seems that Davina is no longer the Davina who used to be kind and easy to trick. Remind Sarah and Nara to be more careful with Davina, or they will both regret it later.
