"What?" asked Luna because she did not hear Devano's words very clearly.

"It's nothing, Luna. Let's go home!"

"Going home? Where to?"

"Of course to your house! Aren't you going to stay with me from today?"

Luna smiled bitterly at Devano's words. "Why are you smiling like that, Luna? Are you sorry?"

"Oh, emhh. No sir, I have no regrets."

Devano smiled mischievously hearing Luna's words. He then drove his car to Luna's house.

Before long they had arrived in front of the simple house. "Don't take too long, Luna."

"Okay sir" replied Luna. He got out of Devano's car and went into his house. When she entered the house, Luna approached her mother who was cooking in the kitchen.

"Ma!"

"Oh Luna, you're home, son!"

"Yes Ma. Mama, I'm sorry. Actually I came home to say goodbye to Mama because for three months I had a job out of town. So, I went home to say goodbye to Mama and to take my things, Ma."

Hearing Luna's words, the happy look on her Mama's face faded. "Luna, are you suddenly like this because of what your sister said, son? Please don't take heart your sister's words. Everything he said wasn't right, son. You're not a pickpocket like he said."

"No, Ma. I never took heart the words of Arka. I was indeed assigned by my boss to take an additional job out of town because today I borrowed money with a large enough nominal to free Arka. So, I have to pay my debt to my boss, Ma."

"Geez, so you borrowed money from your boss to free Arka, son?"

"Yes, Ma."

"Geez, you shouldn't have to be like that, Luna. Let Arka and Kayla solve their own problems."

"But, Ma. If I don't do that, then Arka will be thrown in jail, Ma. Not only that, but this house might also be confiscated by the moneylender."

"So Arka also mortgaged the certificate of this house?"

Luna nodded her head. "Mama, I don't have much time. I'm gonna pack up, Ma."

"Oh yes Luna. Let's help mama!"

"Yes Ma."

They packed Luna's belongings. While Devano was waiting in the car looked so anxious.

"For so long!" grumbled Devano while looking at his watch which almost showed the lunch hour.

Before long, Devano saw Luna who came out of her house and was hugging her Mama.

"I'll go first, Ma."

"Be careful, honey. Again, I'm sorry if Arka's been bothering you."

"Yes Ma, it's okay. I'm her brother, I deserve to protect my sister."

"Please promise, this is the last time you help your sister. Let him learn independently."

"Yes Ma, this is the last one. I'm saying goodbye, Ma."

"Yes, Honey. Take care of yourself."

"Sorry it's been a long time since you've waited, sir."

"It's okay, Luna."

"We're leaving now!" devano. He then drove his car to his apartment. Before long, they had arrived at the apartment in the center of the capital.

Luna stepped into the apartment while pulling her suitcase even though her feelings now felt so raging, the fear and anxiety of having to live with a man she had just known was actually so haunting her. Moreover, the man had already given a bad impression since the beginning he knew her. But, for now he really had no choice but to follow the will of Devano who had helped him, even though the help was selfless.

"Put your things in your room, Luna. I wait here, then we go back to the office."

"Yes, Sir."

Luna then put her things into the room occupied by her. Devano was waiting for him to sit on the living room sofa.

"Already, sir," said Luna who was now standing behind him.

"Oh, okay. Let's go now!"

Devano then got up from his seat, then approached towards Luna. When Devano pulls his hand suddenly Luna pulls Devano's hand back so as not to leave first. "Shortly, Sir!" luna. When they faced, Luna then brought her face closer to Devano's face and then kissed her cheek.

CUPS

Devano who got a sudden kiss from Devano also looked so surprised. "Lu-Luna?"

"I heard, Sir. I heard your request in the car. This is what you want, right? Think of it as a thank you for helping me."

'Ahhaha, anyjay! There hasn't been a day, you can't stand touching a man as handsome as me, can you, Luna? We see that in the next three months, you not only fall into my arms, but also infatuated with me, Devano's inner self.

Devano then smiled as he scratched his non-itchy head. "Here we go back to the office, sir," said Luna.

As he was about to step up, Devano suddenly pulled his hand, until his body crashed into his arms.

"Tu.. Monsieur!" said Luna who began to be haunted by fear. Moreover, Devano was now looking at him with such a deep gaze.

"Master didn't you promise not to touch me?"

"Luna, didn't you touch me first? I'm just returning a touch from you, Luna."

'Oh, my God, he really sucks. Uh basic male messum. His mind is so cunning! Dare to take a chance in the narrow. Now, what is he going to do?' inner Luna while holding back the feeling that was so raging, because at this time Devano began to bring his face closer and then stick his lips and frown so gently.

'Jeez, he's still just as insolent! But, this is all my fault because I kissed her first. Ah, I'm sorry I kissed her. I did all of this as a thank you for helping me. If it were like this, I would never touch him again!' inner Luna.

He also let Devano smear his lips. "Reply to my kiss, Luna!" devano whispers. Forced, Luna also replied to Devano's lip.

'Basic, brazen! Brengsekk! Next time I have to be more careful!' inner Luna is back.

As they were engrossed in lip-scratching each other, Devano's cell phone rang, but the phone call was ignored by him.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, a middle-aged woman looks so upset that her call was ignored by Devano.

"DEVANOOO WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU DOING? DIDN'T YOU PROMISE TO COME TO THIS ENGAGEMENT PLAN!"

Seriate...
