Devano then ran after Luna towards the office lobby. But by the time he reached the lobby, Luna had already gotten into the taxi he had booked.

"DAMN! WHAT IF HE GETS ANGRY AND DOESN'T WANT TO FOLLOW MY WISHES ANYMORE? OH SHIIIITTT! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF MAMA!" dwano Umpat.

He then ran towards the basement to pick up his car and went home to the apartment. "Shhiittt! Hope Luna still wants to go back to the apartment!"

Before long, Devano had arrived at his apartment building and immediately rushed to his apartment unit.

"May Luna come back here!" devano said anxiously while in the elevator.

As he opened the door of his apartment, the atmosphere of the apartment seemed so quiet. "Luna!" call Devano. But there's no answer. He then looked towards the footwear storage and saw Luna's work boots that were inside.

"Thank God! Thank goodness Luna has returned to this apartment, maybe she is in her room!" devano said as he passed to Luna's room.

TOK TOK TOK

"Luna! The luna! You're inside, aren't you, Luna?" call Devano, but silence has no answer.

"Luna! Please get out, Luna. I'm sorry, Luna. I'm sorry Luna. Come outside! I brought you dinner, Luna! Come and eat me!"

"Sorry sir, I'm not hungry! I want to be alone too! Sorry, for tonight you eat alone!" sahut Luna from the room.

"Luna's... The luna! Please don't act like this, Luna! Please forgive me! I'm sorry Luna!"

"Sir, you're innocent, this is all my fault. You better eat and rest!"

"Lunaaaa!"

"Master, I beg you. I want a break!" sahut Luna is back. He then laid his body on the bed, then tried to close his eyes, although he had to endure the pain in his heart and try to heed his ears because at this time Devano still called his name outside the door.

"Good night, Mr. Devano," Luna said before closing her eyes, wiping away the tears on her face.

The sound of an alarm that sounded from the phone beside her made Luna wake up from her deep sleep.

He then looked at the clock on the wall of the room that was already showing it at five in the morning. "Oh, it was already morning" said Luna.

"My stomach is so hungry, this must be because last night I didn't have dinner! I'd better have breakfast now, so I can avoid Mr. Devano!" grumbled Luna. He got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom to wash his face and walked to the door. When the door of the room opened, how surprised he was when he saw Devano who was now asleep in front of the door of his room. Next to Devano, there are several food bags that are still tightly closed.

"God! He slept here all night? On this cold floor? She hasn't had dinner yet? You stubborn! What if he's sick?" grumbled Luna. He then crouched down and woke Devano up.

"Master! Mr Devano!" luna said as she shook Devano's body.

Eventually, Devano awoke. "Oh, Luna? Are you awake?"

"Mr Devano? What are you doing here? Why are you sleeping here? What if you're sick, sir?"

"Ohhh, I'm just afraid you're leaving, Luna. I'm afraid you're gone! So, I'm waiting at your door."

"There-there-is!" grumbled Luna.

"Luna, you haven't eaten last night. You must be hungry, right?"

"You too, sir?"

"Devano! Just call me Devano, don't call me Master again!"

"Ta.. Butii.."

"You must obey my orders! Let's eat!" said Devano while pulling Luna's hand towards the sofa.

Devano opened the food he had bought. "You want me to steam?"

"No need, sir."

"Devano!"

"Yes, no, Devano!" luna said while chuckling. Devano smiled as well. "So, aren't you mad at me?"

"I'm not mad at you."

"But why didn't you meet me last night?"

"Don't I tell you I want to be alone?"

"Of myself, wouldn't it be better to be with me?"

Luna smiled back. "Why are you smiling? Open your mouth!"

"At a time like this you think I'm going to do you a dissolute act?"

"Maybe."

Devano then ruffled Luna's hair, then began to feed the food into her mouth.

"Thank you."

"You thanked me too soon! Every time I could pounce on you! Ahhaha!"

Luna's face turned so tense. "Not to be afraid, I'm just kidding. Didn't I tell you that at a time like this I can't be naughty with you!"

Luna smiled again. Devano now appears to feed bribes into Luna's mouth.

"Now it's my turn to feed you, Devano!" luna said after Devano finished bribing her.

"Not to."

"No need? Why why?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Not hungry? How come? Didn't you eat last night, too?"

"I'm just gonna take a break, Luna. Wake me up at eight."

"Oh, okay."

Devano then got up from the sofa and walked to his room in shaky steps. "Devano, are you okay?"

Devano smiled as he nodded his head and went inside his room.

"It's weird, it's not like he usually behaves like that" Luna grumbled.

"Ah I better take a shower first, then warm the food for Devano," said Luna as she walked to her room.

***

The hour hand showed almost eight o'clock in the morning, Luna walked towards Devano's room and knocked on his door.

TOK TOK TOK

"Devano! Devano!"

But still no answer, until several times the door was knocked by him. Finally, Luna ventured to open the door of the room, while repeatedly praying that Devano would not do anything to her.

When the door was opened, it appeared that Devano was still lying on his bed.

"Gosh, he's still sleeping."

Luna then approached towards Devano's bed. "Devano, it's almost eight in the morning."

However, Devano was still asleep. Luna then sat down on the side of Devano's bed, intending to wake him up. But when Luna had just held Devano's hand, she was so shocked that she felt the heat on Devano's body.

"Devano, are you sick?" luna said as she shook Devano's body.

"Devano!" call Luna back. Eventually, Devano opened his eyes.

"Oh, Luna. You here?"

"Devano, are you sick? Your fever is very high. Hold on, I'll get you a compress!"

Just as Luna was about to step up, Devano suddenly pulled her hand. "No, you're just here! Accompany me!"

"I'll get you some medicine!"

"No need! Just accompany me! Luna, please don't be mad at me anymore."

"No, I'm not mad at you."

"Luna...."

"What?"

"Kiss."
