Merely Winnowing
Sweet Kiss

"Ja-so you?"

"Yes, Luna or Sachi are my grandchildren. And just so you know, I'll never accept anything you do to my granddaughter!"

"I'm sorry Madam" said Rahma, bowing her face, anxious and afraid seeping into her heart.

"I'm sorry you said? It's easy to say that after what you did to my granddaughter!"

"Sorry Madam, this is all I can do. But if this isn't enough I'll do anything to atone for all my guilt."

"Curtain! Not even everything you do in this world will be able to make up for your huge mistake! You have so recklessly hid my grandson for decades and to the point that he lives with deprivation and suffering. Even he also had to endure the insults and ill treatment from Viona! And this is all because of you! Because you're the one who hid my granddaughter!"

"I'm sorry, please tell me what I can do to break through all my mistakes, ma'am."

"What can you really do? Isn't it too late? We have met Sachi who has been missing for twenty years! Twenty years he's lived with suffering, and it's all because of you!"

"I'm sorry ma'am, maybe you're tired of hearing my apologies. But, that's all I can do, madam, if there's anything I can do to make amends, then I'll do it, madam."

Hearing Rahma's words, Fitri then smiled wryly. "What can you do?"

"I will do whatever the Madam tells me to make amends. I also want to make amends to Luna for separating her and her biological family."

"Are you really going to follow all my orders? Yes Madam, please just tell me what I can do for you."

"Alright, then after you've healed please meet me."

"Meeting you?"

"Yes, after you recover you meet me as soon as possible."

"Okay" replied Rahma.

After that Fitri again called the nurse who drove him to the room, then he came out of the treatment room Rahma headed to the treatment room again.

Meanwhile, Dea, who is currently seen drifting in jokes and laughter, after hearing the mutterings from Devano, is seen starting to hold Devano's hand.

"Devano you really like me, don't you?"

"of course. Do you still doubt my love? Do you want proof, my dear? My honey sweety, baby, cipirily like chery fruit on apple tree. You need proof especially so you can trust me? I love you so much, love you so much more than you know, like God 19."

"I believe you, Devano."

"Good, it should be. Is the gaze of this eagle's eyes less able to reveal how deep this feeling is to you?"

"Yes Devano, I know. I believe you, honey. But, do you want our relationship to continue like this? You want to be with me, right?"

"Of course, of course I want to be with you."

"If you want to be with me please release me, would you like me to live in a prison like this?"

"Of course not, Dea. Just so you know, I was thinking about all that, too. Of course I'm thinking about how I can get you out of this prison, because whatever I'm gonna do to get you out of this one."

"really?"

"Of course, but I don't seem to have that way yet. If I act now, it's too dangerous, Dea. I'm afraid they're suspicious of me if I just ask you to be released."

Hearing Devano's words, a smile fell on Dea's lips. "Devano, you don't have to worry because I already have a way to get me out of this custody. You're just gonna continue my plan, Devano. I'll let you know it's time."

"What's? Do you have a way to get out of this custody?"

"What have you done, Dea?"

"Look, Devano, when Kayla came to see me, I ordered her to give my phone to Oma Fitri."

"What's? Giving mobile? What's in that phone, Dea?"

"I'd like to apologize to you first, Devano."

"I'm sorry? Apologize for what, Dea?"

"I'm sorry that on the phone there was a voice recording of a conversation between me and your mom. And, I've edited one of those voice recordings."

"You edited my Mama's voice recording, Dea? What's it for?"

"Oh that's so that Oma Fitri hates your mama, I'm sorry Devano. I did all that because I knew how Oma Fitri was. She must have been very unwilling to hear that her granddaughter Luna was insulted by your mother. In addition, in one of the voice recordings I also edited that your mother's purpose is to marry you to Luna so that she obtain their family property."

'Fuck!' devano's mind when he hears Dea's words.

'This woman was indeed really brash, ' her inner self returned. But Devano tried to temper his anger, and remained sweet to Dea.

"Why are you silent? Are you mad at me?"

"No Dea, honey. You are my very smart lover. Your brain is really so amazing, just like a sponge. You are so spectacular and intelligent, beyond the two words themselves. Besides being beautiful you are so stunning Dea," said Devano who made Dea blush embarrassed.

"You could have, Devano."

"Then I'll go home, baby. I don't want Luna and her family to suspect that I'm visiting you here."

"Yes Devano be careful."

"Of course, honey. Dea, do you want to close your eyes?"

"Close eyes? What's for?"

"I want to kiss you, Dea."

"But I'm ashamed."

"Dea, please. Please close your eyes."

Dea then closed her eyes while blushing in shame, her face looked so blushing. When he saw Dea had closed his eyes, Devano then called one of the office boys who had just delivered a drink to one of the police nearby.

"What's up, Mister?" ask the office boy.

Devano then placed his index finger on his lips as if to code for the office boy to lower his voice.

"Please kiss her" whispered Devano.

"What's? Is that really Mister?"

"Yes, kiss her! Hurry along!" devano orders while tucking in some red sheet money.

"Good."

The office boy then kissed Dea's cheeks and lips. "You can go!" devano.

"How's the kiss from me?" devano asked after the office boy left them.

"Very sweet, and warm Devano," Dea replied while blushing in embarrassment.
