Who's Dora?


"Jeez Devanoooo! Control yourself!" luna said while glaring at her eyes.


"Why indeed? Can't I be happy? Try you think, after so many tragic stories, steep roads, and winding many derivatives and climbs, now it turns out you are Sachi? Sachi? Hahahhaha, isn't that so amazing, Luna? We are already a match, maybe even when our parents just planned to make us both, hahahahhaaa..."


"As far as you!"


"Neng usually ketus mulu. Auntie, look at your daughter's behavior, she always sniffles at me" Devano grumbled to Delia. Delia smiled as well.


"Luna, don't be like that. You must be a good wife to your husband."


"That's what Mom said, Neng. Must be a good wife for brother, first kiss Neng!"


"Devanoooo...."


"Yes, yes, very fierce Neng. Is it Auntie?"


"Call me Mama, Devano. You're married, aren't you? Just call me Mama. I'll talk to your father, and your parents so you can get married as soon as possible."


"Thank you very much, Ma. Emh, this is Ma.., so this is why you never gave me a picture of Sachi because Sachi was missing?" ask Devano.


Delia then nodded her head. "Yes Devano, this is the reason why we haven't met you with Sachi in the past. Actually my Sachiku was missing since he was a baby, when he was only 2 months old. Sorry, we lied to you on purpose and said that Sachi is still overseas because we don't want to let you and your family down."


"It's okay, I get it, Ma. Sachi is missing and found by Bu Rahma and treated by Bu Rahma as her daughter. Isn't it Ma?"


"You know where Devano is? How do you know all these stories?"


"Because I've been looking into it, Ma. I know that Luna is not the biological child of Ms. Rahma. Actually this morning when I came to Mama's house, to investigate whether Luna was Sachi. Because when we met up in front, I saw Mama Delia drop a photo and it was a picture of baby Luna. So, I suspected that Luna was Sachi, but Mama said that there was Sachi at home, so I came to the conclusion that Luna wasn't Sachi."


Hearing Devano's words, Delia looked wrong. "It was my fault, Devano, I was wrong for coming to the conclusion too soon that Dea was Sachi."


"So, at that time the one in my house was Dea, and then Shakila and Deren tried to investigate in their way, and it turns out that they only found out the truth that Luna was Sachi when I considered Dea to be my daughter" Delia added.


"Geez, so is there really a misunderstanding, Ma?"


"Yes there has been a misunderstanding, and for now Mama is very confused to explain everything to Dea, Devano."


"Why should I be confused Ma? Just explain it to Dea."


"But all this happened because of mama's fault, Devano. Mama's wrong, and Dea's gonna get hurt if she knows the truth."


"But the truth cannot be hidden continuously, Ma. Apologizing and admitting mistakes is the best way. Mama should talk to Dea."


"Yes Devano, Mama will explain to Dea. I hope he understands and forgives you."


"He must be self-conscious, Ma. Because that's the truth, she's not my sister" Shakila added.


"You don't think it's Shakila, it's all because of mama's fault."


"But Dea is so annoying, Ma. If only he hadn't been such a bitch, I'd have thought of him as my sister."


"Luna, you know, Dea is a real bitch" said Shakila.


"You don't say that."


"In fact it's like that Ma."


"What has Dea done to you, Shakila?" ask Devano.


"She's so annoying to Devano, she even dares to insult me and say a no-no to me."


"Is it really that bad? It's so presumptuous."


"Yes Devano."


"Shakila, how about we teach Dea a lesson?"


"Taught her? How's it?"


"Let's tell you."


"All right, it's up to you, Devano."


At that moment, Delia's phone rang. "Mama Fitri?" delia said when she saw Fitri's name on the phone screen. Delia then raised the call. While talking to Fitri, the look on Delia's face looks strange. His mouth seemed open and his forehead was furrowed along with a question mark-filled eye gaze. After hanging up the phone call, Delia then looked at Devano.


"What's wrong Ma? Why did Mama Delia suddenly look at me like that? Does Mama doubt me? I really just love Sachi, Ma."


"Devanoooo..."


"Yes, Ma. I never cheated on you, Ma."


"I haven't asked you yet, Devano..."


"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot, Ma. What would Mama ask?"


"Devano, I need an honest answer from you."


"Yes Ma, I was always honest, who often boong Neng Luna, Ma. What do you want to ask?"


"Devano, are you impotten? Oma Fitri told me earlier this afternoon that you called her and said you wanted to cancel your match because you were impotent. Are you really impressed by Devano?"


"Gosh, no Ma. Last afternoon I just lied to get Oma Fitri to thwart my marriage to Sachi abal-abal aka Dea. Mother, Ma. I'm not impotten, the strength of my Joni missile is even equivalent to three million light speeds that are able to penetrate space, see the evidence in Sachi's stomach, my sprout power is embedded so perfectly and second to none, produce outstanding superior seeds. In fact, Dora likes it a lot, doesn't she?"


"DIVANOOOO!!" shouted Luna.


"Dora's? Who's Dora?" tanya Delia and Shakila.
