Devano came out of the bathroom of his apartment. He rushed to the closet. Pick up a t-shirt and shorts then immediately put them on.
After finishing with the afternoon bathing ritual he headed for the bed. He leaned on the head of the bed and then picked up his phone. He smiled as he looked at the photo of someone in his gallery.
I don't know if he feels so weird. This time he felt this feeling. He hasn't dated in a long time. Last time was SMA time. It is just monkey love. All this time he didn't feel interested in any girl. But this little girl is different. He wanted her to stay close to him. He always wanted to tease the little girl. Looking at that innocent face that he thought was very funny. Devano gave a small smile imagining the little girl's face while advancing her lips. He can't wait for tomorrow.
Cellphone ringing. Devano pressed the green button and placed his phone on his left ear.
“Ya.”
“Mr Devano..” Turns out the work problem.

“Hoaaaammm ..” Pomegranate vaporizes. Last night he slept late due to the preoccupation of walking and chatting with Nina. Pomegranate is already in his office and is currently mopping the front floor of the Chairman's room. Since then he has continued to evaporate. Drowsiness.
Shortly thereafter the Boss and his assistant came towards the room.
“Halo little girl.” Wira greeted while smiling cheerfully.
“Eh.. Um.. Good morning, Mr. Devano and Mr. Wira.”
“Ah don't call me Sir. Call me Mas.”
PLAQUES
Devano blared the head of the hero. “Sick boss!”
“Don't tease him, Wir. She's still a kid!”
Pomegranates just smiled clumsyly.
Devano then entered his room. “Happy work, little girl.” The smiling hero then followed his Boss into that large and luxurious room.
Pomegranate stared at the door that had just closed. Later in the afternoon he has to go with his boss. But where? And why must he be? Are there OB and other OG? Why does the boss always ask for him? Pomegranate sighed and continued his work.

“You're really going to invite that little girl, Dev?” ask the Hero
“Iya. I brought her so that Luna would not do strange things to me.”
The manggut-mangut hero listened to the reason of his boss. The truth is that the hero knows the reason not only that. The little smiling hero.
“I remember Marvel's birthday party. Luna keeps following you, haha.” The hero laughed crisply. “Looks like Luna did want you, Dev.”
“No. There's another reason.”
Wira. Feeling curious.
“Luna makes me a betting material.”
“APA?”
Devano then tells everything to Wira that Luna approached him due to a bet. If Luna loses, Luna will have to pay her friends five hundred million. And the challenge is to make Devano Luna's boyfriend. That's why Devano doesn't like Luna.
“I understand.” The hero breathed his breath. “Today you have a ten o'clock meeting. I've had Deby prepare everything needed.”
“Good.”
“You like that little girl yes, Dev.”
Devano who was sipping his coffee instantly coughed. “What do you mean?”
“Forget my question. Hahahaha.”
“Damn you.”

“Del. Wake up why are you sleeping?” Via wakes the sleeping Pomegranate in the OB/OG room.
“What time is it, Vi? I was very sleepy.”
“Hour half four in the afternoon. I picket today so go home last. Friends have started cleaning other rooms before all employees go home.”
Pomegranate widens his eyes. “APA?” in a hurry Pomegranate headed for his locker. He picked up a change of clothes and immediately replaced them in the bathroom. Two minutes later Pomegranate was out of the bathroom. He picked up his bag and headed straight for the 15th floor.
“Gawatt. Mr. Devano must be mad at me!”
Arriving in front of his boss' room, Pomegranate took a breath. He entered the first room. Miss Deby is no longer there. Looks like it's home.
Pomegranate standing in front of the door of the room. For the sake of clenching his hands felt agitated. He knocked on that door.
“Log.” The heavy sound in the room. Pomegranate pounding. The pomegranate opened the door slowly then entered while lowering his head. He was just about to talk. His hand was pulled out by Devano. “Cute me.” Pomegranate resigned when he was pulled out towards a special lit. Upon arriving at the parking lot they were picked up by a car.
“Log.”
“I-iya.” Pomegranates rushed in followed by Devano. The luxury car started to leave the office.
The journey of Pomegranate and Devano was silent. Devano was upset that Pomegranate was late. Pomegranate was terrified. Afraid the boss is angry. But it was likely that his boss was already angry with him.
“I'm sorry, Sir. I fell asleep.”
“Hem.”
Pomegranate bowed his head. His eyes then looked out the window. Where will he actually be taken? I hope he wasn't kidnapped!
30 Minutes later, Devano's luxury car pulled up in front of a boutique. He entered followed by Pomegranate.
“Choose clothes you like.”
“Ya?” Pomegranate looked at his boss confusedly.
“Choose clothes you like.” Devano repeated the initial tape then sat down on the provided sofa.
“T-but for what, sir? Where are you taking me? Why should I buy clothes? All the clothes in this store are very expensive. My money may not be enough to buy it.” Pomegranates are worried. He had no money but was forced to buy clothes. Whereas next month he has to buy a stove and *****-whine.
“Cerewet once you.” Devano grunted in annoyance. “Servant!”
“Iya sir.”
“Choose the nicest and most expensive clothes! Take care of this little girl until it's over. I'm waiting for the result!”
“Good Tuan”
“Prepare also my clothes.”
The waiter invited the Pomegranate to follow them.
“T-but, Sir! I want flapped?!”
“I told them to mutilate you!” Devano said ketus. Of course he was just kidding. This little girl is so chatty.
Pomegranate. Will it really be mutilated? No way! If true, he'll report his boss to the police!
2 Hours later. Pomegranate has been mutilated. He came out of the special room where he had just been mutilated by the officials there.
When the Pomegranate came out of the special room, Devano's bluish bead did not switch at all. He stared at the girl in front of him.
Pomegranates are the same. He was amazed by the tall and handsome man in front of him. His body is big and tall too. Pomegranates are just his chest. Maybe if the man in front of him hugged him he would drown in his arms. Pomegranate shakes his head. Expel the indecent thoughts that he addressed to his boss.
Pomegranate is embarrassed. Is he so ugly? To the extent that his boss was looking at him like that.
Devano woke up from his acceptance. “Choose a bag that matches his shirt. Uh. Shoes are also.”
The waiter there deftly selects the bags and shoes needed.
“Anu. I can't wear shoes that high. Later if I fall how, Brother?”
“Good, Miss. I'll choose another.”
Both Devano and Pomegranate are ready. They both got into the waiting car.
“Pak, where are we really going? Why am I dressed like this? You know I'm just a*Office Girl. *I don't have the money to pay for any of this. I..”
“You're chatty once. We're going to Marvel's house. And everything that is attached to your body I paid for it just calm down.” Devano's tone was stung so badly because Pomegranate was too chatty! The pomegranate was finally silent. He according. Rather than getting fired, right?
30 Minutes later, Devano and Pomegranate arrive at the Marvel family mansion. Pomegranates were amazed by the grandeur of the mansion.
‘So the house of rich people like this huh. Very big! I also want to have a house like this!’
Devano took Pomegranate's hand and invited the little girl who was still amazed.
“Dev.” Luna called out to Devano in a spoiled tone as she walked over.
“Why did you take this girl, Dev?” ask Luna. But Devano was silent. He pulled Pomegranate's hand and walked towards the owner of the show, leaving Luna. Luna looked at Devano annoyed at being ignored.
“Devan!” A middle-aged woman beside Marvel called out to Devano.
“Halo, aunty. Happy birthday.”
“Thanks, Devan.” The gaze of the middle-aged woman was towards a little girl that Devano was holding.
“Who's this, Dev?”
“Not her Office Girl in your office, Dev?” Luna suddenly made a sound. Pomegranates just bowed. She is ashamed of being called Office Girl. But Pomegranate realized, she was indeed an Office Girl right?
“Mom, his name is Pomegranate. He works in Devan.”'s office Marvel finally got a sound.
“Halo, Nak Pomegranate.” mistress Almira, Mother Marvel greet Pomegranate gently. Pomegranate raised his head looking at the beautiful woman in front of him. Almira fell silent. He kept staring at Pomegranate. ‘The eye. I know him.’
“Halo, aunt. I'm Pomegranate.” Pomegranate greeted Almira with her sweet smile.
“Who is this, Devan?” Dirga asked Devano.
“Dia...” Just now Devan will answer, but his words
cut by Luna.
“She was just Office Girl in her office Devan, aunt. I really can't figure out why Devano took her.”
Devano stared at Luna sharply. He's upset. He was angry that Luna would insult Pomegranate in front of the Marvel family.
Pomegranate clenched his hand. Her beautiful head was back in. Is correct. He does not deserve to be here.
“Luna, can you shut up? It's up to Devano to take who. This party is open to anyone.” Marvel was also careless because Pomegranate was constantly cornered by Luna.
“She's my lover.”
Pomegranate looked at Devano with a shocked look. Nah! Pomegranate sure, Devano must be just pretending. Yes pretend.
***
Pomegranates sit in a chair and drink their juice. Devano says he'll be with Marvel and Wira for a while. Until he was finally alone. He was confused because he never followed a party in a rich place. Once upon a time, in the village, the most crowded party was a wedding party. It's a birthday party but it's more luxurious than the wedding party in the village.
“Hey you.”
Pomegranates were shocked. He spontaneously stood in front of the woman standing in front of him.
“You don't expect to get Devano.”
Luna held the belly of Pomegranate. Then take it off rough. “Cih. How much does Devano pay you?”
“Ti-no. I'm not..”
“Cih. Basic cheesy. A country girl like you doesn't deserve to be with the sole heir of the Wijaya Company, you know.”
Pomegranate Eyes glazed. Only this time he was humiliated like this. since childhood Pomegranate was never insulted by anyone. His grandmother took good care of him.
“What are you doing, Miss Luna.” Luna gasped in shock at the sound behind her.
“De-Dev? A-i-i.”
“How dare you insult my lover!”
Devano looked at the silent crying Pomegranate. Then looked at Luna very sharply. “Go from here.” Devano's voice was so terrifying in Luna's ears.
“But, Dev.”
“I said go, before I shamed you back.”
Luna clenched her hands and left from there with a burst of emotion.
“Delima.”
“He's right, Sir. I'm just a village girl. And I don't deserve to be here.” The Pomegranate's voice vibrated.
“Devan. What's up?” Almira came to Devano and Pomegranate who were crying.
“Aunty. Excuse me. Looks like I have to leave now.”
Almira patted Devano's shoulder slowly. “It's okay, Devan. Thank you for coming and introducing your lover.” Almira smiled then turned to look at the Pomegranate who was still looking down deeply.
“Nak Pomegranate don't cry, hm? Already, there's nothing to worry about. Don't listen to Luna's words yes.” Almira soothes the Pomegranate. His hand wiped the tears that fell on Pomegranate's cheek.
Pomegranate nodded.
“Te-thanks, aunt.”
Almira smiles. “Quickly take Pomegranate away from here, Devan.”
“Good Aunty. Devano excuse me.”
Devano leaves the party with a soft Pomegranate hand to his car.
When they got in the car, they both got into it. The driver has not yet arrived. Devano put a seatbelt on the Pomegranate.
“Hiks.”
Devano looked at Pomegranate. He held the chin of the Pomegranate, raising his head to catch it. Devano's big hand rubbed the still flowing tears of Pomegranate.
“Do not cry.” Devano said softly before sticking his lips over Pomegranate's lips.
