Merely Winnowing
Acknowledge the Truth

"Dea!" shouted a voice that made him surprised, and immediately stopped his action.

Hearing that voice, Dea then turned her face and looked at Shakila who was already standing in the doorway and currently seemed to be closing in on her. Dea then distanced her body from Rahma then smiled slantingly at Shakila.

"That's great, Brother. So, you're following me? You are really sneaky!"

"Squeaky? Aren't you the one who's sneaky, Dea? You already know who you really are and you don't want to admit that to us? What's that called if it wasn't sneaky?"

"Sister Shakila have you forgotten? All these misunderstandings happened because of your parents, and I didn't do anything wrong, brother. It's all because of Papa Dimas and Mama Delia's fault."

"Yes, it all started with my mom and dad. But you don't deserve to behave like that, Dea. You're not the real Sachi and you should be heartened to admit that!"

"Just kid! You say it like that! So you think I should bear the mistake I never made? That's what you mean, right, brother?"

"It's not about bearing the blame, Dea. But admitting the truth."

"And that truth, covered by the wrongs committed by your parents. Am I wrong if I just continue what happened? Am I wrong to be Sachi? Didn't your parents admit that I was Sachi?"

"It's very wrong that we also met the real Sachi, and he is Luna! So you don't have to confess to me with your fake identity, Dea. Until now, you're Dea, not Sachi!"

"Oh so your parents have met Sachi?"

"Of course because Sachi is my parents' second biological child, and Luna deserves her true identity and identity!"

"But I won't let it, because Sachi will remain attached to me!"

"It's a shame you're talking like that! You are not Sachi and forever you will never be Sachi. You are not my sister, not the biological child of my parents, and not part of my family!

"Well, I accept that I'm not part of your family, but I can't just let go of that matchmaking because it's my right. Mama Delia has already betrothed me to Devano. Besides, I've also met Devano's parents. And, he's already approved of our marriage."

"Dea! He approved of the marriage because he thought you were Sachi! Try if she knows you're not Sachi, I'm sure Aunt Viona would never agree to you marrying Devano."

"But unfortunately it's too late, tomorrow we'll get married because Aunt Viona already thinks that I'm the real Sachi, and so is Devano. Didn't Brother Shakila see how Devano behaved to me? He seems very interested in me, doesn't he?"

"Never dream of Dea! Devano was never interested in you!"

"Dea, Devano is married to Luna!" keep a voice behind him. Dea then turned her body and looked towards Rahma.

"What did you say?" dea asks Rahma who just said that Luna is married to Devano.

"Dea, Luna has been in a relationship with Devano for a long time, ever since they didn't know that Luna was Sachi."

"No way!"

"That's the truth, Dea!"

"If Devano is married, why would Devano continue his marriage? He even had a ring on your finger, right when you replaced Sachi on the engagement?"

"That's because their love story wasn't easy and there were a lot of misunderstandings because Devano's parents didn't approve of the relationship."

"Oh so Aunt Viona doesn't approve of their relationship?"

"Yes, but after knowing Luna is Sachi, I'm sure Aunt Viona will definitely approve of their relationship. Especially now that they were married, no one was able to separate them. Including you Dea, you can't take something that isn't your right and yours! You have to realize, Devano was never interested in you!"

"Sak Shakila didn't you know yesterday, how Devano behaved to me? She even wants to marry me, right?"

"I thought you were smart, but it turns out you were stupid Dea. Didn't I tell you not to dream. Devano did all that to pretend in front of his parents. Didn't you guys do the drama in front of Devano yesterday? Do you think Devano can't play a drama?"

"Hahaha, of course and another one Devano also already knew that his wife was the real Sachi. So, never dream that Devano would leave Luna and marry you. Because the woman Devano loved was only Luna."

"So, you've all been playing me?"

"You've been playing us too."

"I'm not playing you guys, don't you know I'm doing all this because of your parents' fault!"

"And you don't deserve to continue that mistake! Dea, haven't I told you many times that you should be heartened to accept that you're not the real Sachi!"

"What if I still don't want to?"

"You don't go crazy Dea! You need to know who you really are!"

SREKKK

Amidst the debate, suddenly a heavy sound came from the open door. Then a female figure of a middle-aged woman entered the room. Behind the woman looks Devano who holds Luna's hand.

'Fuck you Devano!' inner Dea.

'So, the man Luna referred to as her lover when we met in the food court was Devano?' inner Dea is back.

"Dea!" call the middle-aged woman.

"What's Mama Delia doing?" ask Dea.

Suddenly, Delia cried and rested before Dea. "Dea forgive me, sorry that I was the cause of this misunderstanding. Please forgive me. You're not my real daughter, after all."

"So you mean you just made me, after meeting your real daughter?"

"No Dea, please forgive me. You're not my real daughter, but I'd like to think of me as my daughter."

"Is that Mama Delia?" ask Dea.

"Dea now I'm asking you, what did you get out of all this? You can't always force things. You're not Sachi, and you'll be like that forever."

"Shut up you Devano! You're such a dick, how dare you lie to me!"

"You lied to my family first, Dea! You even dared to confess to me as Sachi to my parents and ask for our marriage to speed up! Though at that time you already knew that you were not Sachi! You don't deserve to act like that, whereas Luna alone never acts like that!"

"Luna again, Luna again! Why is everyone always defending Luna? Then you better die, Luna!" dea said as she walked towards Luna.

"Dea, if you dare to do anything to my wife, I don't hesitate to finish you off!"

"Dea don't!" shout Rahma.
