BUCIN STARLA'S HUSBAND
APARTMENT
Ezekiel's wedding reception that night went well. Fortunately the bride did not act. Some of Acme's children are still at the hotel, including Darren and Juna.
Time has shown eleven o'clock at night. Devan just got out to bring Starla home. In the hotel lobby, Devan accidentally crosses paths with Aska.
“Wow, new toy?” Aska squinted, looking at Starla who looked puzzled.
“Lo not invited. Why are you here?”
“Of course see the destruction of your beloved friend,” said Aska.
“Sial,” umpat Devan.
“Sheren where?” ask Ask. The bloke glanced at Starla, “paid how much lo same Devan?”
“WICKS, DIE LO!!!” Bugh….
Hearing the screams and the sound of the blow, some hotel staff and security approached them.
“Dev, ”! lerai Starla's. He tries to pull Devan off Aska's body, but Devan doesn't care about it. Aska will die if the fight does not end.
“Neither lo?” Aska laughed out loud under Devan's cage. “The boyfriend is not really, let alone this girl!”
Bughh. Devan wanted to kill Aska that night. Yes, Aska must die. Devan's sick of this one asshole.
“Devan!!” yelled Juna who was running from inside the hotel.
“OM, DEVANDRA!!” darren shouted to commemorate Adryan who was talking with Dilan-Ezekiel's father.
“DEVAN!!” Helsa was screaming hysterically.
“Mami...,” said Cemara who saw Helsa running towards his sister.
“MATI LO TONIGHT!!” The burly hand covered in tattoos brutally hit the face of the Spanish crossbreed man.
“LO CAN NGEJELEKIN ME, BASTARD!! DON'T STARLA!”
“Devandra!” The baritone's voice managed to paralyze his hand. Adryan squatted down and pulled his son.
Starla was silent. He was afraid to see Devan that angry and almost killed his opponent.
“Antar Starla home,” Adryan said. Devan looked at the frightened Starla, then turned to look at her Mama. His breath hunts great.
“Honey, you ok?” Helsa sobbed to touch Devan's face and around his body.
“Devan ok Mami,” he replied while kissing Helsa, his black netra could not be seen Starla. No. gabe. Starla can't be afraid of him.
“Starla..,”
Devan approached the girl, grabbed her hand and placed it on a slight bruise that Aska hit. By the way, Adryan's been handling that jerk. He immediately asked some people to take Aska to the hospital.
“Do not be afraid of me,” said Devan.

There was silence in the car. Sometimes Devan grimaces because of the pain on his face.
“We stopped by the pharmacy for a while,” Starla said.
“No need, in full apartment,” sahut Devan.
Starla nodded in understanding. He knew the family next to him. Apparently, Devan was the son of a doctor who always bought flowers on the 30th. The world is so narrow. Devan introduces Starla to Adryan and Helsa during the wedding reception.
“Dev, get me down in front of the alley. You should also treat that wound,” great-grandson Starla.
“My same tonight,” Devan concluded.
“You mean?”
“Sleep with me tonight,” says Devan.
“HAH?” Starla is aghast, not taking the step that Devan has ulterior intentions at tonight's show.
“ENGK! I'M NOT THAT GIRL!” peekik Starla's.
“What the hell? I also chose kali,” ketus Devan.
“DEVAN!”
“IYA, STARLA!” reply Devan no less fussy.
“I'm serious,” said Starla.
“Gue is also serious, Starla Meisya!” Devan looked up at Starla's frightened face in case she was going to be raped by Devan.
And sure enough, the car had already passed through the area of Starla's house. Jesus, Starla promised to give it all to her husband. Is it possible she'll be raped by Devan tonight?
In addition to fearing rape, Starla also does not want Devita to worry about her.
"Gue won't be the same you," said Devan. He chuckled at the gulp of the saliva of the girl next to him. This Starla makes Devan half-dead.
"... Enough of one kind for tonight," he added.
Starla looked at Devan, with her right hand she pressed a bruise on Devan's face.
"Whenever?" Devan glanced at a glance, his eyes still focused on the streets.
"Yes, I intentionally. Bawdy guy!" starla Mark.
Instead of being angry, Devan laughed. It felt strange, when out of the millions of women praising her, there was Starla who always said it was a pervert guy. Starla also once said she was a psychopath. Gosh, just piss off girls Devan has to think over and over again.
After nearly 30 minutes, the Porsche entered the basement of the apartment. Devan doesn't mess with his words. Devan gets out, but the girl is still in the car.
"Do you want me to carry?" devan asked as he opened the door on the left.
"No need. I can do it myself" said Starla. Fortunately the dress given did not bother her.
Starla followed Devan into the elevator until she reached the floor where her apartment unit was located.
The apartment hallway is very quiet. Maybe because it was almost midnight. In front of the door, Starla was standing quite far away from Devan.
"Come in," Devan orders, but Starla is reluctant.
Devan sighed, he extended his hand. Starla did not blink an inch, but as if there was a push from within her, the girl welcomed Devan's hand.
Devan took him in, then closed the door again. Starla still didn't take her grip off Devan's hand. His eyes rolled to the corner of the room. This apartment is very luxurious.
"This is Papi's apartment" Devan said.
"You live here?" ask Starla.
"Only once in a while would I get bored at home."
Starla took off her grip. He approached the white buffet table. There are lots of family photos. Starla can't recognize the childhood photos of Devan and Cemara, they're almost like twins when they were kids. Their age is eight years different.
"Which one are you?" starla asked, showing two photos.
"That black shirt is me. The girl who was like a bule was called Kanaya, my cousin. The smallest one is called Gavin. Kanaya studied in Singapore, Gavin a year over Cemara and still High School. Gavin and Kanaya are one womb. Papa they, Papi's brother."
"Whose oldest? How come there's no cypress?" Starla curious.
"That was a photo long before there was a spruce. I am the first grandson of the Brawijaya family" Devan replied.
"Perfect" Starla wrote.
"Who?"
"Your families. I've always loved seeing things like this" Starla said.
Devan doesn't want to tell him anymore. Devan was afraid of mispronouncing and offending the girl.
In the middle of the room was a large family picture. There are Adryan, Helsa, Cemara, and also Devandra of course.
"Well asleep?" Devan approached him, "lo can find my room above. Let me sleep in the lower room."
Starla looked up, their gazes met. "I'll treat your wounds first. Where's the medicine box?"
Devan had almost forgotten the wound on his face. Soon he takes the P3K box and gives it to Starla.
They sat on the floor of the velvet carpet, with Devan leaning against the sofa. Starla's tiny hands began to painstakingly clean the wound on her face and Devan enjoyed it. Wounds like this were common to him. It's just that today was a little different.
"La, what kind of guy do you like?"
Starla was stunned for a moment. "Why is that?"
"You're stabilizing yourself" Devan chirped. Obviously Devan was aware of his talk just now.
"I want a guy who understands religion."
"Gue can be a good priest for you and our children later" Devan replied. Buset, our kids are Devan.
"Sama Mami aja I love, let alone the mother of my son later," replied Devan.
Please strengthen Starla. Don't let Devan hear his heartbeat race twice as fast.
"And certainly not a tattoo guy" Starla said. It seems he's insinuating Devan.
Devan. "Oh, don't you like tattoo guys?"
"Yes. I don't like guys like that."
"Who don't like it? This one?" point Devan at his wrist.
"Or this one," pointed Devan on the right side of his neck.
Starla was confused.
"Don't you like this one, La?" Devan opened one by one the buttons of his shirt, showing his checkered stomach, and also some tattoos there.
"Devan!!" starla screams as Devan nearly lengthens his chest in front of her.
"Don't like this one?" challenge Devan who finally takes off the shirt completely. Now that guy only wears Chino pants. Starla is far away from Devan.
"Dev, you don't have to be weird,” scolded the frightened Starla in her place.
“Starla....,” Devan crawled a little over the carpet, his voice almost like a sensual sounding whisper.
“Dev,” Starla pecked when the boy's lips touched his forehead.
Then Devan let go of the kiss, and looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him. Jesus, it looks like Devan heard Starla's heartbeat.
“Dragon yourself you make me,” said Devan, without breaking their eye contact.
Starla was still silent, digesting well Devan's words just now. Devan wants?
“You-”
“Gue to lo. Wait for me Starla,” said Devan, once again.
***
“Mas.” Helsa sat next to Adryan who was still busy with his laptop. Her husband had just returned from the hospital after making sure Aska was okay. Aska had to be treated at the Medica Rose, and everything was borne by Adryan. Do you think Adryan will have Devan apologize to Aska?
Of course not. Adryan knows their problems. Adryan knows every action Devan makes is just for the good.
“Not sleeping?”
“Mas, according to Mas, why hasn't Devan under Sheren to El's wedding reception tonight?”
Adryan removed the glasses and also put the laptop on the table. His attentions are now entirely for Helsa. “One kiss for one answer.”
“Ish,” Helsa clucked in annoyance.
“You don't?” tawar Adryan's. This doctor is very cunning.
“Nevent need to odd Mas, this is not our stall anymore,” Helsa reply.
Adryan smile. “The wedding of El and Lia was a secret to the Palm children. They were betrothed on the condition of El, no one could know. El has a girlfriend. Hence Devan does not dare under Sheren.”
“One thing you should know. Devan likes it Starla.”
“Mas don't need to know!” ketus Helsa's.
“Because Mas was once in his position,” replied Adryan.

The morning sun was beginning to shine. Starla gradually opened her eyes, neutralizing her slightly blurred vision. He realized he was in Devan's apartment, sleeping in his bed, and also wearing a white shirt owned by the man.
Time has shown at six in the morning. Starla thinks her mother must be very worried at home. But, there's no way Starla's going home without Devan's knowledge. Besides Devan can be angry, Starla also does not know the password of her apartment door. Damn it.
“I made breakfast deh,” he said. As the foot of the level led her downstairs, Starla opened the long curtain that was still closed. Great views of Jakarta from the height of the fifteenth floor.
There were no groceries in the fridge, except for a few egg boutiques. But, in Starla's closet found fried rice concoction. Without waiting for long, Starla put on an apron and started cooking.
In the room, Devan had actually been up since earlier. The guy finished his shower. It's just that he's lazy out of the room. Starla must be asleep, she thought. Devan saw Starla's shift schedule through her phone, today Starla's afternoon shift at Hello You Cafe.
Mother: Assalamualaikum, Mother. Sorry Devan interrupted me in the morning. Devan wants to say, Devan's going to take Starla to the cafe. Mother need not worry.
What Starla doesn't know is that Devan had already asked Devita for permission before the incident at the library yesterday. Devita allows Starla to go with her, as long as Devan is not careless with her child.
Devan was staring back at his phone screen when a message notification came in. Not from Starla's mother, but from her lover.
Sheren: Honey, I'm in front of your apartment lobby. I'm straight upstairs.
Devan grinned thinly. Sheren's probably in the hallway now. Inside there is still Starla, and they will meet. Sheren would think Devan was cheating on him.
Ting!
Starla turned her attention towards the main door. Any guests? Duh, where Devan hasn't woken up yet. Then the sound of the door lever opened, Devan came out wearing only boxer pants and went straight to the door.
“Who?” starla Mummets.
Fried rice is available on the dining table. Starla, who was about to sit, immediately walked into the middle of the room when the voice of a girl greeted Devan with the title of Darling.
“I miss...” said the girl. Starla is convinced that it is Devan's lover.
“Ngapain?” ask Devan.
“I brought you breakfast, beib,” he replied.
The girl went inside and her carry-on bag reflex fell when she saw Starla standing in the middle of the room wearing only a white shirt and hotpants. Sheren swerved in disbelief.
“Devan, who is he?” hardik Sheren's.
“According to lo?” Devan walked over from the door and headed straight for Starla and stood right behind the girl. Starla was silent like a statue.
“DEVAN! YOU CHEATED?” sheren shouted, and approached the two.
“CHEAP GIRL! HOW DARE YOU WEAR MY GUY SHIRT!!”
“Don't touch mine!”
“YOU WHY DARLING? MY MINE? YOU ARE CRAZY, YES?” Sheren burns a jealous flame when Devan kisses Starla's neck. And the kissed one is freezing.
“Gue sane. I was sane as we went through our long night,” Devan said.
Of course Sheren was eaten with Devan's words just now. Long nights? Devan and this girl? Have they done more?
“Dev, I'm your girlfriend. I was wrong are you?” raung Sheren's.
Devan turned to Starla, then whispered. “Raise to the top. I want to talk to him.”
Starla obeys Devan's words, then returns to her room.
Now in the middle room is left lovers who may soon be there will be a bigger war. Sheren approached Devan who was sitting on the sofa.
“Jelasin be with me! You cheated?”
Devan looked back at his lover's pair of black eyes. “Gue is not as low as lo!”
“Dev..,”
Devan laughed mockingly. He linked Sheren's hair that hung over his girlfriend's face. “Lo don't have to apologize to me. Apologize to yourself.”
“Dev, I don't understand.”
“Gue knows who you were with last night. I know how many times you've slept,” Devan said.
“Gue and the girl you say is cheap it's not like lo and him. I'm still a virgin. I'm not careless like lo,” cetus Devan once again.
“Gue falls in love with Starla. I want her, I want her to be the mother of my children later.”
Sheren.
“Sheren, starting today I want to stop. Stop pretending with my feelings. I admit that for a few months I knew your relationship with that guy.”
Devan holds both hands Sheren, “gue already sorry lo.”
“Devan....,” Sheren cried loudly. Devan decides?
“Shut, I started it all, I had to end it too,” Devan said. “Starting today you are free to do anything out there.”
“But, the one I want to ask lo.”
“... why do you cheat?” ask Devan.
