Merely Winnowing
Forgive Me

"This is the order" said the voice of the maid who broke Luna's daydream as she looked at Devano who came out of the canteen.

"Oh yes, thank you," Luna replied as she took the money out of her wallet.

"Sorry, it's been paid. Thank you." Thank you." The waiter then left Luna.

Luna looked at Brian who was still sitting in front of her. "Have you paid for this meal, sir? I'll replace it."

"No, Luna. It's okay, don't replace it. Let's just say I treat you both."

"Sorry it's been a hassle."

"No hassle at all, please just accept Luna."

"Thank you very much."

"Either. Emh, Luna, is Devano upset to see us together?"

Luna just smiled bitterly. "Oh, then you'll meet Devano quickly. Please apologize to her, I didn't know you had a special relationship."

"Yes, sir, I'll go first. Thank you very much."

Brian then nodded his head, while Luna now seemed to be walking so hastily towards Devano's study, feeling so anxious.

TOK TOK TOK

Several times Luna knocked on the door of Devano's room, but there was no answer from inside. Finally, by gathering courage, Luna opened the door.

FLECKISH

When Luna opened the door, Devano was fiddling with her laptop. Luna entered the room with heavy steps while holding back such mixed feelings.

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Devano. It's your lunch" said Luna, putting the food on Devano's desk.

"I'm not hungry" said Devano coldly.

"But sir, you just got sick. You mustn't be late for a meal, sir."

"I'm not hungry, are you deaf?"

"Sir, please don't act like this. You should eat. Then, I put the food here huh, Mister?" luna said as she put the food on the table, she then walked away from Devano. But, when Luna had not reached the doorstep. Devano had slammed the food onto the floor until it was scattered.

'Asataga,' Inner Luna. He then came out of Devano's room, and called an OB to clean up the scattered food.

The clock was five o'clock in the afternoon, but Devano was not out of his room yet. Luna who was waiting in front of the room that was still tightly closed, could only stare at the door with a feeling of anxiety.

'Forgive me, Devano!' inner Luna. At that moment, the door finally opened.

"Devano!" call Luna. But Devano did not reply, just walking past him without even glancing at Luna. Finally, Luna walked in her footsteps.

"Devano!" call Luna. But, Devano remained silent.

"You're mad at me, Devano? Well if you're mad at you, I'll leave you alone. I'll just take a taxi home" said Luna. He then turned his body, and prepared to walk towards the direction of the office lobby. But, suddenly Devano blocks his hand, and pulls Luna's hand to walk with him. Luna could only helplessly walk beside him while occasionally glancing at Devano who was staring intently at the front, without a word coming out of her mouth.

'Devano, ' Luna's inner self as they enter her apartment and Devano goes straight into her room.

Luna was just pensive and stood staring at the door of the room. 'Devano, have I hurt you? Forgive me Devano, ' Inner Luna while walking towards her room.

Moments later, after Luna finished her bath, she returned to Devano's room.

TOK TOK TOK

"Devano!" call Luna.

"Devano! Come eat, I've bought food for you!"

However, for almost half an hour Luna called Devano, there was no word at all. Finally, with a shaky step, Luna walked towards the dining table and ate her own dinner.

***

Three days have passed, but Devano's attitude is still the same, cold and not willing to talk at all with Luna. They live in one roof.

For three days, Luna seemed to be living alone in that luxurious apartment. The breakfast and dinner he used to pass with Devano, for the past three days he passed by himself, as if making lonely friends. While in the office, Devano only spoke as necessary, only limited to work issues, and briefly asked by Luna.

His heart actually held back the raging feeling of longing. The spoiled, mischievous words that used to feel so disgusting to him, now seemed to be the opium he so longed for. However, when he saw Devano's face, it was not the longing antidote he got, but it hurt.

'Sickness, it's me because in this life there is only me, without you, inner Luna. Why am I suddenly like this? Logically I should be happy because I don't have to obey Devano's disgusting request. But is it really just about logic? What if the heart drifts into this game?' inner Luna as they were on their way home.

'Three days passed without a word between me and me, why does it feel like hell to me?' inner Luna is back.

They finally arrived at the Devano apartment unit. "Devano!" call Luna softly, but as usual, Devano still did not reply, and passed into his room just like that.

Luna stepped into her room with lethargic steps. After bathing and changing her clothes, she then walked towards the dining table and saw Devano enjoying dinner.

Luna then rushed towards the dining table. "Devano!" call Luna. He then sat down next to Devano, but Devano was still silent, without saying a word to him. They finally enjoyed dinner together with silence.

After finishing his dinner, Devano then got up from the dining table chair towards the balcony of the apartment and lit a cigarette.

'Devano smoking? Since when does he smoke?' inner Luna.

After gathering courage, Luna finally approached Devano on the balcony of the apartment.

"Devano!" call Luna. Devano then glanced at him.

"Devano, please don't keep acting like this to me. I'm really tormented, I want to see the old Devano. Is our relationship beyond repair, Devano? Is my fault too great for you that you cannot forgive me? Can't I have a chance to fix this relationship?"

Devano was silent, only a puff of cigarette smoke could be seen coming out of his mouth.

"Devano look at me! I'm talking to you, Devano!" snapped Luna. Devano finally directs his body, until faced with Luna.

"Good Devano! If you still behave like this, I'd better go home! I will also resign from your office, and will return the hundred million in my own way! You take it easy, Devano, I'm not going to lie to you! I'll return the hundred million to you as soon as I can!" shouted Luna.

He then stepped his foot while hitting the shoulder of Devano who was standing before him. However, while walking to his room, suddenly a warm embrace clutched his body from behind.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Luna."
