"Sir, I've got the address!"

"Let's go there now!"

"Yes, sir" replied Luna. They then walked out of Devano's study.

'Hm, finally. Welcome into my arms, dear Luna, Devano's inner self as she glanced at Luna who was walking beside her.

Half an hour later, they finally reached the address given by Kayla. When Devano's car arrived at the house, it appeared Kayla was waiting for their arrival in front of the gate.

"Mba Luna, I talked to them. Now they're waiting in the dalem, Mba."

"Come on!" Luna.

They then entered the courtyard of the house, and when they had reached the door, there appeared several burly men standing at the door of the house.

"We have an appointment with your boss" Kayla said.

"You've brought the money, haven't you?"

"It."

"Please enter!"

They entered the house, greeted by the smile of a middle-aged man sitting on a rocking chair holding a cigar.

"Finally you came too, hahahaha."

"Please release my sister. We have brought money to pay my sister's debts" said Luna.

The old man seemed to play his tongue when he saw Luna which made Devano so uncomfortable. He then stood in front of Luna while staring intently at the middle-aged man.

"I don't want to mince words, let Arka go, we've brought the money you asked for."

"Mahaha."

"O old man! Don't laugh too much! Quickly release Arka right now!"

"Ck, tsk, tsk! Young man, don't be too hasty. Is there still a way to negotiate? Hahahahahahaha."

"Concert? Whatchu mean?"

'Basar old bangka! I know what's on his mind. He wants Luna! Basic messum!' inner Devano.

"Hahahahaha, young man. I'm actually a very generous person and not as bad as you think. In fact, I want to free Arka for free!"

"Freely? In this world, nothing can be free! You think we're stupid? Here's your money, and let Arka go! Otherwise I'll call the police right now!"

"So you threatened me? Didn't you hear if I offered you an offer?"

"I don't need an offer from you, you better take this money and release Arka because I don't have much time!"

"So you refused my offer?"

"Of course!"

"Young man, you better save your money and please give the young lady to me to make me my wife!"

"Haiiii watch your words, Old Bangka! You really have exhausted my patience! Just so you know, I never mess with my words! Do you know who you're dealing with? Just so you know, I could have ruined your illegal business in an instant!"

"Please! Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, which I could have destroyed all your illegal business by reporting it to the authorities!"

"Police? Ahahaha! I'm not afraid of the police!"

"But they are against me! And they can't just ignore my report!"

"Who are you?"

"That's not important! If you don't believe my words, either I will obey your request to deal with the authorities and feel for yourself your destruction, Old Bangka!"

Devano then fiddled with his phone. And just as he started sticking his phone in his ear, suddenly the middle-aged man prevented it.

The man then told his men to free Arka who was currently in one of the rooms in the house. After Arka was released, Devano then approached the middle-aged man and gave him a brown envelope containing a hundred million dollars.

"It's money! And please don't try to deal with their families! Moreover, wish for Luna to be your wife! Rather than you dreaming of marrying Luna you better open your prayer mat before you sleep in front of the prayer mat! Do you understand?"

The man was silent, and Devano turned his back, but before he stepped his foot, he turned his back to the middle-aged man.

"I'm Luna's future husband! A stinking man like you doesn't deserve to compete with me! Do you understand?" devano snapped in a whisper.

The middle-aged man seemed to nod slowly.

"Let's get out of here!" devano orders Luna as well as Kayla and Arka. Devano then took Luna with a sneaky glance towards the middle-aged moneylender who could now only stare at her.

They then left the house. "You go home, and don't do it again! Live according to your portions and abilities! And you Arka, you better find a job to support the wife and child in your wife's womb!"

Arka and Kayla were silent. "Luna, please wait for me in the car, I'll catch up with you. There's something important I want to talk to your sister about."

"What?" said Luna while frowning.

"Get in Luna's car!"

"Okay sir" replied Luna. He then stepped his foot into Devano's car. While Devano stared intently at Arka and Kayla. After Luna's figure was no longer visible, Devano then raised his hand and slapped Arka.

PLAQUE PLAQUE PLAQUE

"Tu.. Mr. Devano," said Arka, holding his cheek.

"Why? You don't accept me acting like this?"

Arka and Kayla looked down her head. "Now you listen to me! Please stop all your disgusting behavior like this that can only trouble others! Can't you think, huh? Where's your common sense? Especially you, Arka! You really are a sister and child who does not know yourself and can only trouble your brother and parents!"

"Sorry" replied Arka.

"This is the last one! If you're being childish again, I don't hesitate to break your neck! Do you understand?"

"Yes Sir!"

"Tomorrow, come to this address and tell the head of the branch in that office if I give you a job in that office, and never throw a tantrum! Do your best and never disturb Luna's life again with that disgusting attitude of yours! Do you understand?" devano said while giving a paper.

"Yes, Mr. Devano."

"I keep your promise!" devano said as he left Arka and Kayla who were still lowered in fear.

"Sir, what did you say to Arka?" luna asked as Devano got into the car.

"Just a warning that he won't make the same mistake."

"Thank you very much, sir," said Luna with a smile so sweetly on her thin lips.

"Sama-sama," replied Devano who was holding back the turmoil in his heart upon seeing Luna's smile.

"Ehhhhh, E... Luna."

"What's up, Mister?"

"Kiss" said Devano.
