Merely Winnowing
Identity Falsification

"Let's get our Devano inside!" said Dea while pulling Devano's hand into the house.

"Devano, Papa and Mama haven't come home yet, we're waiting for them here huh."

"Yes Sachi" Devano replied.

Just as they were sitting on the sofa in the living room, Shakila suddenly came closer to them.

"May I sit here with you?" ask Shakila.

"Oh of course, Shakila," Devano replied.

"Thank you."

"Dea, you're not bothered with me, are you?"

"Oh of course not, sister," Dea replied, though while holding back the resentment in her heart because Shakila still called her by the name of Dea, as well as disturbing her friendship with Devano.

"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting, I'm looking to watch television, while the television in my room is broken. So, once again I'm sorry I bothered you guys here."

"It's all right, Shakila. You take it easy, you're not bothering us at all."

"Thank you very much, Devano."

"Yes, it's okay. We can talk together."

"Thank you my dear sister" replied Shakila.

"Do you want to see Shakila? Why do you look so enthusiastic" asked Devano.

"I just want to watch the news of the hot artist, Devano."

"What's Shakila news?"

"That's Devano, the KDRT case that hit one of our famous artists."

"What's? The KDRT case?"

"Yes Devano, there is one of our famous artists who got caught up in the KDRT case. Too bad, even the wife had to be hospitalized because her throat shifted."

"Good, how cruel. I can at least stand the KDRT case, Shakila. You know, I'm very loving."

"Yes, I know that, you are very loving."

"Yes Shakila, I can't possibly hurt anyone else especially if that person is still a blood relation with us. Punishment for KDRT offenders is also very severe. If the victim of KDRT suffered severe injuries and fell ill, then the perpetrator can be threatened with criminal for 10 years. If the KDRT causes the victim to die, then the sentence for the perpetrator can be a maximum prison sentence of 15 years, it is terrible," said Devano, shivering in horror.

"Ten years," said Dea, swallowing her saliva violently. Seeing the look on Dea's frightened face, Shakila smiled wryly.

'Ten years, Dea. Yes, if your mother wanted to, she could sue you because last night you stabbed her in the stomach, so that she wouldn't reveal the truth about who you are, you could definitely go to jail for ten years. You're panicking, aren't you? Supposedly, that is your place, inner Shakila.

"How is Sachi you too, right? You also don't like to see violence in a family relationship?" asked Devano who broke Dea's daydream.

Dea was nervous about getting such questions from Devano. "Oh of course, I don't like violence either. Especially in a family."

"It's good that you're a very loving wife-to-be, very compatible with me cie, cie, cie."

Dea was embarrassed to hear Devano's words. "Of course Devano, my sister is as gentle as I am."

"Yes you're right Shakila, Sachi's attitude is very gentle. Her heart is soft like cotton. Let alone the look in his eyes, the look in his eyes was even like GPS in my heart."

"GPS what does that mean, Devano?"

"Yes, GPS because you have shown me where my heart is going, cie cie cie."

"You could have, Devano."

"Hi, look at that. There's new news!" shakila. Spontaneously, the three of them looked at the television screen.

"That's not just a Romlah because he's a Turkish crossbreed."

"Are you sure he's really a Turkish crossbreed, Shakila?"

"Of course I believe that the veiled woman named Romlah is of Turkish descent."

"No, I think he's making it up. I'm not sure."

"Devano, if you don't believe me, just read Romlah Guvizar Ercel's full name, don't you think it shows that he's really Turkish?"

"So you believe only by name? Come on Shakila, don't be so innocent. Many people in this world claim to use a person's name and identity to get what he wants."

"What do you mean Devano?"

"Yes, in this world there is a lot of Shakila, people who pretend to be someone else, who is not themselves. Even masking his true identity only for the sake of his own self."

"Geez, that's really creepy, Devano."

"Yes, and that could include a case of identity forgery."

"Identity forgery?"

"Yes, and a sentence for identity forgery, can carry a maximum sentence of 4 years in prison."

"God's scary. Devano, I so imagine that someone who committed the crime of identity falsification as well as the KDRT, must be subject to a layered article right?"

"Yes, and the punishment must also be severe. It's the same as spending the rest of his life in prison. It's so creepy, Shakila."

"Yes Devano."

Hearing Devano and Shakila's conversation, Dea fell silent. His heart felt so raging. 'KDRT Case and identity falsification? Then imposed a layered punishment? Oh my God, that feels so scary to me! What do I have to do so I can get out of this? I must do something, ' Inner Dea.

The rhythm of his snare felt so tight. "Sachi, why is your heartbeat even heard by me? Is it because we have one heart, one heart, and one soul?"

"Ah you could be Devano, you know I'm having a little heart trouble, so maybe my heart condition is not very stable."

"God so your heart condition is unstable? How about you just rest Sachi."

"Yes Devano, it looks like my heart condition is not okay. I'm gonna take a break, Devano. Sorry if you have to go home now. You're okay, right?"

"Oh, of course it's okay, honey. You have to rest because we're getting married tomorrow, right?"

"Thank you for your understanding Devano. I went into the room first" Dea said.

"Dear, I want to go home now too."

"Yes Devano." Dea then rushed into her room, as her feelings were already so erratic. His heart, shrouded in fear. In fact, Devano hasn't left that house."

Meanwhile, Devano only whispered to Shakila. "I haven't finished working on it yet but why is he panicking like that, Shakila?"

"Maybe he's afraid of going to jail, Devano."

"Alright then, I'll go home first. I've missed my wife, I can't wait to nubruk Neng Luna."

"Nubruk? What is nubruk, Devano?"

"Ah it's only in the Devano dictionary, Shakila. You don't need to know because you're not married."

"Yes, yeah, yeah."

"Okay, I'll go home first. Joni can't wait to meet Dora."

"Joni again Dora again," Shakila grumbled, after Devano left her. As he walked outwards, Devano suddenly looked down at his bottom.

"Calm Joni, there's no need to worry. You only belong to one Dora, not a fairy mimi."
