"You're Juna, right?"

One of the first questions comes from Devan's lips when Juna is already sitting in front of him.

Nodding nervously even Juna did, thinking it was enough to answer Devan's question.

"You know who I am?" Devan asked back.

Juna nodded again, "Sir Devan, right?"

"Yes. I'm Devan, Sherin's sister," Devan said.

There was no more chatter between the two, just silence for a while. Even so, Devan's view cannot be separated from Juna. While Juna himself, prefers to look down to avoid Devan's gaze.

"Do you know why I came here and called you here?" Devan's question again fills the quiet in the room.

This time Juna shook his head because he did not know what purpose Devan called him for. Either the business problem, Sherin's problem, it's still gray.

"I came here because of Sherin" Devan said with a rough gasp.

Although surprised, but Juna tried to hide it. He doesn't want Devan to be suspicious of the feelings he has for Sherin. Still mending if later approved, if denigrated and forced to retreat? Better just keep it in the dud, right?

"What's your relationship?" devan asked before Juna said a single word.

"Our relationship is only limited to superiors and subordinates. There's nothing more than that" Juna replied, not entirely lying.

"really?" Devan looked down at him, as if saying that he did not believe Juna's answer.

"Yes. Is ... Miss Sherin didn't tell you that?" Juna asked back.

"No, he said something else. That's why I need your honesty."

Juna can't be squeaky. He doesn't know what Sherin said to Devan, so now he doesn't know which part to describe to Devan—his feelings or his involvement in trying to tempt Novan the other day.

Within seconds, Juna was silent. So far he has not been able to guess which honesty Devan expects. However, the insistence after the insistence that continues to be thrown by Devan makes Juna can not survive in silence.

In the end, Juna explained in detail how he and Sherin knew each other, not to forget he also told how his relationship with Novan.

There was no shock emanating from Devan's face, as if the man had known earlier. Yeah, reasonable. Perhaps, Sherin has been explaining since yesterday-yesterday.

"That's all?" devan asked after a long time Juna ended his explanation.

Juna was stunned again. Now there is one thing that he has not expressed, namely feelings. Does Devan know that too? But, from where? Even Sherin, Juna never revealed it.

"I gave you one chance to be honest. If you miss it now, there will never be a second chance."

Juna was surprised to hear that sentence. Slowly she thought back to Sherin's smile, which she honestly missed. Then, her fragile beautiful face that makes it difficult to turn away, comes back to haunt Juna's mind, forcing him to admit it all in front of Devan. Regardless of what the outcome was, what was important was effort, such was Juna's inner self.

"I love Mrs Sherin." Finally, there was also a confession of love that had been held by himself.

Devan let out a long sigh, then got up while putting his hands in his pants pocket.

"Forget your feelings, Sherin's getting married soon!"

Like lightning during the day, Devan's statement is so shocking, as well as disturbing the heart. Sherin ... had only been four five days away, but was already planning on getting married. Is this the answer to her disappearance?

"If you may know, who is Sherin married to?" Juna dared to ask.

"With the man of Mama's choice. Two weeks to go for the prescription. If you want, you can come. I'm the one who invited you officially" Devan replied.

Juna is speechless. His mind is still fucked. In fact, to get up and go from there alone he needs all his effort.

Seriate...
