Merely Winnowing
Empang Angel

Viona seemed to be pacing around inside her house. He looked so anxious while looking at his phone a few times.

"Why hasn't Devano been taking calls from me since yesterday? So, he already dares to be presumptuous of me? How insolent Devano is! This must have all happened because he was influenced by that damn woman!"

Viona looked to be frowning her brows. "But didn't I warn that woman yesterday? Has he not yet left Devano's life? This really cannot be allowed! I'd better go to their house now, and I'll give them another warning! Especially the fucking woman!"

But when Viona was about to step out of the house, it seemed Dea was already standing in front of the house with a smile that was so sweet.

"Good morning Aunt Viona" said Dea.

"Good morning Sachi," Viona's java stammered in surprise to see Dea who was now in front of her.

"Tante is so neat, is Aunt going?"

Viona looked so nervous. Then, suddenly that's when Viona gets an idea. 'Supporting aja Sachi here, I take advantage of her existence, ' Inner Viona.

"Why Aunt Viona?"

"I'm fine Sachi. Emh, is this Sachi will you help me?" viona asked with a bit of hesitation.

"Of course what can I do for Aunt Viona?"

"Look, will you help me get Devano to come here? From yesterday his phone was so hard to contact, he must have been so busy with his job that he just ignored me."

"What's? Devano ignored Auntie?"

"Emh is actually Devano a good boy, it's just that if he's too busy with his job, he could forget about auntie, because he feels he's a big boy and not a mother's son that aunt meant."

"Oh like that?"

"Yes, Devano is very independent. He does not want to be taken care of by his parents anymore, he is also a very sweet and devoted child to us. You must not regret having a husband as good as Devano. You guys are gonna be a great couple."

"Auntie could have."

"Yes, that's the truth Sachi. You want to help me?"

"What am I supposed to do, Auntie?"

"Emh this way," Viona replied by whispering something in Dea's ear that made her smile.

"How do you want, right?"

Dea then nodded. "Yes aunty."

"Good Sachi, I'll make sure you meet Devano today."

"Thank you, Tente."

'And I won't let Devano out of this house. Once Devano comes, I won't let Devano leave this house, and see that damn woman again because Devano has to marry Sachi as soon as possible. Hahaha,' Viona's inner heart.

Meanwhile, Devano, who is currently busy in the office, was suddenly startled by a voice on his phone. Devano was just clucking, but the phone repeatedly rang. Eventually, Devano is forced to pick up the phone and see a message sent by an unknown number that is the number of Dea.

The message contained a photo showing Viona lying on the bed with an injured hand, and filled with blood.

"Gosh what the fuck is this?" said Devano who now began to look panicked. He then read the message in the one below the photo.

"Devano, your mom hurt herself. Please go home and see your mama now."

While driving his car, a message went into Devano's phone. Devano glanced at the phone screen and saw the name of Shakila who sent him a message. He then smiled wryly when he saw the video recording sent by Shakila in the form of a confession from Rahma who said that Dea was his biological child, along with other evidence, which he said, the results of blood type tests and differences in photos of Dea and Luna when they were babies.

Dea and Viona seem to be waiting for Devano's arrival with a bit of anxiety inside Viona's room. They were worried that Devano would not come to the house, but when Viona called the office, one of the office staff said that Devano left the office a while ago.

"Tante," calls Dea to Viona, who appears to be playing her phone.

"What's Sachi?"

"Emh, Auntie trust me?"

"Of course aunt believes in you, honey. What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell auntie?"

"It's about my relationship with Shakila. Actually, my relationship with Shakila is not good. Brother Shakila doesn't like me very much."

"God is that really Sachi? Yes Aunt, Brother Shakila doesn't like me very much, she always even vilifies me, and says no-no to me. He also accused me of not being Papa and Mama's real son."

"Is it really that bad for Sachi?"

"Yes Aunt, that's why I've been living abroad. Because my relationship with Shakila's sister isn't very good."

"I really didn't expect Shakila to do that to you. She looks so sweet and polite, I didn't expect that she turned out to have such a vices."

"Yes, Brother Shakila is indeed very beautiful, her attitude is polite and very sweet. But, that's the truth Auntie, Brother Shakila isn't as good as everyone thinks. He's always even badmouthing me, Auntie trusts me, right?"

"Of course, aunt believes in you because you're a future aunt's daughter-in-law."

"Thank you, Auntie. Emh actually like this Auntie, Brother Shakila always accused me that I am not the biological child of Papa and Mama, so later if Brother Shakila vilifies me please do not trust him Auntie. Just trust me, Auntie will believe me?"

"Oh of course you will because you are the future wife of my son, I trust you very much Sachi."

"Thank you Auntie."

"Yes dear."

Before long, the sound of a car stopping in front of the house was heard. "Maybe it's Devano, you better open the door for your future husband."

"Oh yeah, well I'll open the door for Devano."

Dea then exited Viona's room, and walked down the stairs to open the door. When the door opened, Dea was shocked to see a handsome man in front of her.

'Oh, my God, so this is Devano? How handsome, he is even more handsome than Kak Derren Kak Shakila's girlfriend. Of course I would if I had to marry a man as handsome as Devano. In that case, I will not let Devano off just like that, Dea's inner self.

Devano who saw Dea in front of him then smiled wryly. "Hi, so you're Sachi?"

Dea looked nervous too. "I-yes I'm Sachi," Dea replied.

"You're beautiful, Sachi, it's nice to meet a woman as beautiful as you are" Devano said, kissing the back of Dea's hand.

"Thank you so much Devano. Let's go inside your mama's waiting for you" replied Dea who now blushed embarrassed to get praise from Devano. Devano then enters the house following Dea's steps into Viona's room.

'It looks like Devano is attracted to me, ' Dea's inner self.

'You are so beautiful, like an angel. Angel descends from empang, mimi fairy dong hahhaahaha. Let's start this game my empress angel, Devano's inner.
