Merely Winnowing
Exists Where?

Instantly, Luna's heart seemed to stop beating to see Devano who was already on his own not far from him. His heart felt so raging, especially when he saw Devano who was looking at him so sharply.

His face that was now flushed showed such great anger. However, not only his face, but also the look of his eyes that also look red. The look in his eyes even looked so scary, the eyeballs were reddened but also looked slightly dewy.

"Devano!" call Luna lirih. He then tried to get closer to Devano. However, before Luna stepped foot, Devano was already shouting again.

"STOPP! Don't come any closer! Don't ever try to get close to me again!"

"Devano, I can explain all this. Please listen to my explanation."

"I don't need an explanation from you!"

"But Devano, it's really not what you think it is."

"Unlike I thought how was Luna? It's even very clear! I saw it for myself with my eyes when you walked so kindly, and almost went into a hotel room! What else do you have to explain? I don't need an explanation from you, you hypocritical woman!"

"Devano please listen to our explanation first. It's really not what you think it is. I accidentally grazed Luna, and then I drove her to this room to rest, because she really had trouble walking. I know, you're here too. So, I asked Luna to have her rest in the room, and after you finish your business, you can pick her up in this room."

"NOT A LOT OF EXCUSES!"

"Devano, I really don't have any ill intentions for Luna. We don't have any relationship."

"Cihhhh, don't have any relationship but meet at the same hotel? What an illogical reason!"

"Devano, I'm at this hotel because Mr. Kenzo told me to deliver the files left behind. You can ask Mr. Kenzo if you don't believe me."

"Yes Devano, we really did nothing. It's really not what you think it is" Brian continued.

Devano then looked at Brian with eyes so scary, eyes that seemed to want to pounce on anyone in front of him. He then pulled one corner of his lips up.

"Mr Brian, shouldn't you be on the show downstairs with me? But, would you rather have fun with a woman here? Then after I caught you two wet, you guys told me something beyond reason? Then do you think I can so easily believe that stupid story? Hhhhhh!"

"Devano this is really not what you think it is..."

"ENOUGH!" bentak Devano's. He then turned his body around, then walked away from Luna and Brian at such a fast pace, even though luna's voice called out to him. He then took his cell phone and appeared to call someone.

"Hello, Mama. Tell Oma Fitri, tomorrow morning I'm in Jogja to get engaged to Shakila" Devano told someone on the other end of the phone.

While Luna, now can only sob staring at the perggia of Devano. "Luna, I'm sorry. Sorry if it turns out that my intention to help you turned into a disaster like this."

Luna could only be silent, her sobs sounded even louder. "Luna!" call Brian.

"Please leave me, me."

"Luna..."

"Please leave me, Mr. Brian. Please, please leave me alone."

Seeing Luna so messed up, Brian then left Luna, though her little heart could not bear to leave her alone in a moment when she felt so broken. After Brian was no longer seen, Luna then tried to stand up and walk in the corridor of the hotel, although with a step that was so limped because of the pain in his legs. He then headed to the event that Devano was originally going to attend, but after asking the reception, Devano was also not at the event.

Finally, Luna came out of the hotel after struggling to move her leg which was still sick. Luna then took a taxi to the Devano office building. However, after arriving at the office building, he also did not find Devano in his room.

Luna then asked one of the staff in the office. However, the office staff said Devano had not returned since he went to the hotel where they had met.

"Gosh where's Devano? Where are you actually, Devano?" luna Luna said. He then left the office, then went to Devano's apartment.

FLECKISH

The door of Devano's apartment opened, Luna then called out to him. "Devano! Devano!" call Luna, but there's no word. The apartment also looked empty.

"God turns out Devano also did not go back to the apartment," said Luna. He looks so panicked. "Then, I better wait for him here while treating my leg" Luna said back.

He then waited for Devano's arrival at the apartment, while treating his legs by taking painkillers and applying cream on the sprained part of his leg.

Time changes, seconds turn into minutes, minutes turn into hours, and the bright sun has sunk changed with the dark star-studded night. However, Devano did not show the trunk of his nose.

"Jeez, where are you actually Devano?" luna. He has repeatedly contacted Devano's phone, but it seems that Devano is not willing to take calls from him. He even blocked his number.

"Where exactly are you Devano?" luna said as she shed her tears.

"Oh yeah, to the office! Maybe he's in the office" Luna said. He then looked at the clock that had shown at eight o'clock at night, but did not dampen his steps towards the office building owned by Devano.

A little while later, Luna had already arrived at the office building she was heading to. He rushed to Devano's room, and when he saw that it was still burning, a smile fell on his lips.

"So Devano's still in the office?" luna. He then sped up to the room and opened the door to Devano's room.

FLECKISH

When the door of the room opened, it appeared that Devano was sitting on his chair while playing a pen on his desk, and looked at the pen with a sharp eye.

"Devano!" call Luna. Hearing Luna's voice, Devano raised his head and looked at Luna who was already standing in the doorway.

Luna then walked closer towards Devano and hugged his body. "Devano, please don't be mad at me. Devano, we really didn't do anything, please believe me."

Devano was only silent, while Luna was now clutching Devano's body and crying on his shoulders. "Devano, please don't shut up, tell me something Devano! Please don't act like this! I love you so much, so much love you!"

Devano was still silent, until a moment later, he turned his body, then stared intently at Luna. With such a quick movement, Devano suddenly pressed his lips against Luna's lips, then smeared those red lips so greedily.

"Who's calling? why not lift? Lift it up now and turn on the speakers!" kabir's orders to his wife.

"Bu-not nobody, it's yes, Bang, I'm leaving first, I've been waiting for by friends,"

"No, can! Pick up your phone, now!!" Kabir is losing patience. While Sasti remained on his stance. Keep letting the phone ring.

"Don't, Brother! That's my privacy. Brother can't just play take dong!" Sasti loudly asked for his phone to be returned.

"Since when have you put limits on me, I am your husband, have you forgotten? I'm your husband, Sasti!" Kabir's voice was loud, making some of his home workers secretly peek from the kitchen door slit.

"Anyway, no, Bang! turn my phone, Bang!" Sasti continued to try to reclaim the phone that had changed hands. It's free, Sasti's efforts to get his cellphone back. His height is not comparable to Kabir's height.

"Literature, who's Literature?" Ask Kabir to Sasti. Sasti looked nervous, his countenance tense.

"Who's Literature! answer me, Sasti!"

"He-he, my friend, Bang. Yes, my friend Bang."

"Friends? Is he a man or a woman?"

"Men uh .. women,"

"Who is right, man or woman?"

"Man, Bang. But just a friend, Bang. He's a friend who likes to help me with my content, Bang."

"Then?"

"Yes, I want to meet other friends now. They must have been waiting for me. I'll go first, Bang."

"Thank you!"

"Ba-good, Bang." Sasti stared hesitantly at his Handphonen for a moment staring towards Kabir.

"Why? You doubt? He's not your usual 'friend?"

"It's not so, Bang. I'm picking up, now." Sasti received his phone back.

"Hey-hello ...,"

"Hello, baby where are you, I called why not pick up. We're hunting the picture?"

Kabir was surprised by the voice of his caller. The caller called Sasti, his wife, affectionately. Kabir's forehead wrinkled up. asked Sasti for an explanation. Sasti

looking at Kabir scared. Hand vibrates.

"Hi, honey! you were there, right? so meet no. We're at the place, hello?"

"Yes-iya so I'll be there in half an hour."

"Ok in wait, baby. Bye see u "phone call ends. The eyes of Kabir can no longer be avoided. Staring sharply at Sasti.

"Friends? Is that what you call a regular friend? Call darling?" Kabir said cynically, looking intently at Sasti's eyes. Sasti threw away his gaze.

"We're just friends, Bang!"

"What kind of friend do you call dear?"

"Really, Bang. We're just friends."

"Men and women are friends? I can't believe it! here's your phone, let me call back your 'beloved friend,"

"Bang, what the hell, don't embarrass me, Bang! Among us we are used to calling affection in friends."

"What! You said you were ordinary? Where's the differentiator? a call between your boyfriend and your husband?"

"Abang won't understand, because you never get along."

"So you think I'm bod*h, don't you? Sasti, what's wrong with you?" Kabir grabbed the phone in Sasti's hand.

"Which is why, why do you always curb me. Pressing me, I'm tired Bang. I'm tired!"

Kabir's hands were clenched. I want him to punch anything to shreds. The rumbling in his chest was like wanting to just explode. His beloved wife, his beloved wife. The little woman he once cared for with all his heart. Lately acting strange and tend to forget themselves.

"You really tested my patience, Sasti. Go into the room. Hurry along!"

"No, Bang! I'm leaving, they're waiting for me, you know what I'm saying."

"You're my wife, you want to do whatever you have to do with my permission, if I don't let you, then you can't go either,"

"If I keep pushing away, how about?"

"You challenged me?"

"Bang, I'm leaving. Please, I promised them."

"You prefer your friend to me? i'm your husband!" Kabir slammed Sasti's cell phone. Crushed to pieces. Sasti stared at the phone barus one week he used.

"Abang! Why did you break my phone?"

"When did you buy? You just take it at my storefront, so it's mine. I'm free to slam or burn, what do you want?"

"You're crazy, Bang. They're my friends, if you're jealous don't do this,"

"I'm jealous, natural. You're my wife. I don't want you hanging out with just anyone."

"The evil thing, Brother always acts as he pleases. I'm a big, grown-up, Bang. Not a little girl who's everywhere to be in control,"

"Yes, if you feel grown up. Then be your adult. Don't do this, you're married. Have a son, have a husband. It's not worth it to keep going,"

"Bang, I'm bored at home anyway. I want to hang out with my other friends too, Bang. You know what I want?"

"I've understood you for a long time, I know exactly who you are, I know all about you. I know what's best for you,"
