Merely Winnowing
Believe Me?

Hearing a voice from outside the bars, Dea raised her face. He looked surprised when he saw a man he knew very well standing up smiling at him.

"Would you come here, Devano? You want to laugh at me? You better get out of here because I'm so sick of seeing your face!"

"Ck, tsk, tsk. Please don't ever get sick of me my sweet, honey, baby cipirily. You might regret rejecting the second-in-a-kind presence of this handsome man!"

"Curtain! Never dream!"

"From cipirily, why are you saying that to me? I came because I miss you so much, dear."

"You think I believe in those words? I no longer want to be fooled by your stinking seduction! Better get out of here!"

"Honey, baby, sweety, my angel why are you saying that to me? Why do you have to, honey. Do you have any idea how tortured I am for holding back my longing for you."

"Please stop those foul words! And don't you ever call me by the word dear, Devano! Did you forget what you did last night to me?"

"Baby, honey, sweety, cipirily, my angel. Now please listen to me, I want to be honest with you, if actually last night I was just pretending to be with you. I was just pretending in front of everyone so that no one would suspect me."

"Squeals! You think I believe you? You came here for something, right? There must be a shrimp behind the rock because you start to panic that your relationship and Luna are not as smooth as you imagine, right? So you came to seduce me again? Cih, you think I'm Devano's stupid?"

"No, baby, you're not stupid. I know I'm a fool for not being able to escape your love, ea ea."

"Stop Devano! You think I believe you? I'm so sick of you and your rotten seduction!"

"Sweety, please don't say that. Now look me in the eye, do I feel like I'm lying to you? Look at me, feel the look of love in my eyes? Do you still doubt me?"

"Curtain! Till when I'll never trust you, Devano? Aren't you ashamed to say that to me after what you did to me last night! You're even treating me so badly, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry, honey. Please believe me because I've been pretending to love Luna for the whole time."

"Don't lie! You've been dating her since, haven't you? Why are you suddenly saying that?"

"Hahahahaha, dear Dea. Now, I'll tell you what really happened. Since long ago, I was just pretending to love Luna, because actually I already knew that Luna was Sachi."

"Don't lie!"

"So you don't believe me? If you don't believe me, please ask Arka, because I've been ordering Arka to investigate who Luna really is."

"No way!"

"All right what you're telling me?" tanya Dea who began to be influenced by the words of Devano.

"Honey, baby, sweety. Why would I lie to you? That's why I was in a relationship with Luna so I could control all of Luna's possessions, and I kept being stupid until Mama Delia told us everything. That's all I'm doing so no one can suspect me."

"I still don't believe."

"Honey, let's just think, why I left Luna at our wedding, to meet you who I love so much, love you so much, and am so proud of. Dear Dea, I was actually very interested in you when we met at my mom's house. When you look at you, to me, you look so sweet, sexy, and exciting, you know my heart also feels like it's beating so fast, so fast like a giraffe running in the African desert. You look very different, unlike Luna who is very passive and bored me."

Hearing Devano's words, Dea fell silent. Looking at Dea who was beginning to be affected by his speech, Devano then held Dea's hand.

"Darling, now you believe me, right? If you believe me, will you cooperate with me?"

Dea then looked at Devano as she frowned. "Working with you? Working together on what's Devano?"

"I don't want to tell you my plan before you say you believe me. I can't possibly divulge my secret to a person who still has bad thoughts about me."

Dea was silent, and seemed to think for a moment. "Dea babe, sweety, honey, baby cipirily. Hows it? Do you believe me?"

Dea then looked at Devano with a question mark. "Alright, I trust you Devano."

Devano smiled, then stroked Dea's face. "Thank you, honey. Thank you my son."

"From my empire, mimi peri similikiti weleh-weleh welcome to my game again" said Devano lirih. Moreover, at this time Dea seemed to close his eyes, feeling the caress of Devano's hand that felt washed away his heart.

FLECKISH

A nurse pushing a Fitri wheelchair into a treatment room. Upon entering the room, a woman, lying on top of a gurney, seemed so shocked by his arrival.

"So you're Rahma?" ask Fitri.

"I-iya, Mistress. Sorry, who are you?"

"I am a woman whose mind is so tormented that a granddaughter is hidden by an irresponsible woman like you!"
