The Married By Challenge
The Part 18
Sarah had dinner alone because Devano hadn't come home yet, though Sarah wouldn't care.
In the middle of enjoying her dinner, Devano finally appears but Sarah ignores her. While eating while watching YouTube, he did not even say hello to Devano or tease Devano as usual.
It certainly makes Devano like losing something, he feels there is less without the naughty temptation of his wife. But Devano remained on his ego, he ignored Sarah and immediately went to his room.
Sarah who had finished her dinner immediately went to the room to study, because next week was the final exam simester.
Sarah picks up her book and laptop and then she goes back down to the living room because she doesn't want to be with Devano.
While Devano is now bathing, he tried to sleep early because all night he could not sleep well. But without Sarah in his bed, Devano began to feel uncomfortable, his bed seemed to feel cold and his room felt lonely. Although all this time they just sleep on the side of each bed but apparently there and none of Sarah's existence still makes a change for Devano's feelings.

Sarah and Devano have been ignoring each other for days, they barely even talk to each other unless something really matters. Even so, Devano still fulfills his obligation as a husband that is to pay attention to Sarah's material needs.
Devano also no longer restricts Sarah in any case, but he still asks Aldo to report to her whatever Sarah does, wherever she goes and with anyone.
Until Sarah's test arrives, Sarah stays up late to study in the living room, and it makes Devano feel sorry for Sarah. He also bought a very complete study table and put it in his room.
Sarah was very happy and almost shouted excitedly and thanked him, but he held it and Sarah also did not wear it. Every time he wanted to study at night, he always went to the living room and even slept there. And it makes Devano very angry, he can no longer be ignored by Sarah like that, Devano can not stand it anymore if it continues not to talk to Sarah, Sarah, no more temptations, jokes, or threatening each other, and it turned out to make Devano's heart empty.
"Enough! I think this is enough!" Sarah who was studying immediately looked up to hear Devano's firm voice, the two of them threw a momentary gaze at each other, but then Sarah looked back down and focused on her textbook.
"Sara...!" the exclamation of Devano approached Sarah and grabbed Sarah's jaw, making Sarah inevitably look up and look into Devano's eyes but Sarah remained silent.
"What's your problem, huh?" devano asked as he let go of his grip.
"I'm busy, if you can see it" Sarah replied calmly. And he again wants to focus on his lessons, but Devano instead takes his book and keeps it away from Sarah.
"I can get you to class without taking that fucking exam, Sarah. Now we have to talk" Devano asserted with a hardened jaw and his gaze as sharp as an eagle. In response to Devano's power, Sarah laughed blandly.
"You've married this underage girl, haven't you?" his taunts made Devano grow angry.
"Damn" growled Devano while hitting the table made Sarah gasp "I've spent a little money to buy your study table so that you are comfortable learning, Sarah. At least appreciate a little of that"
"Oh, is that for me?" sarah asked in a mocking tone once more while raising her next to her eyebrows.
"What's wrong with you, huh? Why do you shut up and ignore me every day? Why do you appreciate my gift? Why are you so annoying?" hiss Devano and honestly the following questions made Sarah gaping but then she returned to laughing blandly.
"Why am I wrong? I'm talking, you say I'm flirting, shameless, and as her. I was also wrong, what do you want?" sarah shouted while standing up and looking up so that she could look at Devano who was currently also standing up.
Devano was silent, he himself did not know what he really wanted. To be sure, she wants Sarah to be with her, to say hello to her, to tease her and not to ignore her like she's been for almost two weeks.
"You freak" murmured Sarah then she ran upstairs, went into her room and Devano heard the door buzzing.
Devano sighed heavily then flopped down on the sofa, why is his feeling now chaotic?
"Sir..."Eni comes over to Devano who looks like a "No one else should be punished for someone else's fault, right? Sarah's like Caitlin, she's still so innocent and doesn't know anything"
"And Lady Sarah is very young, sir. He wants to be treated like a teenager"
"I don't do bad with him, Auntie En" Devano finally open the voice "He's a bitch, hard to set, likes to defy" his grumbling.
"A teenager will behave in accordance with how we treat him, sir" explained Eni briefly, Devano did not discuss it, he went straight to his office and just like Sarah, he went to work, he closed the door so violently that a very loud noise could be heard.
Eni chuckled with it, at least he felt that there was life in the house after all this time, at least he saw an emotion in Devano's eyes after all this time, and it's all thanks to Sarah. Although Eni must love because Sarah is the sister of a man who has ruined her young miss's life.

Sarah returns to school as usual, all students must be tense with the exam without exception Sarah. But Sarah's tension this time is not only because of her exams, but because of a warm news about the bankruptcy of her family company, and what makes Sarah hit the most is the sloping news about her father.
All his friends looked at Sarah while whispering to each other, making Sarah feel very uncomfortable, even one of the students named Karin brightly asked Sarah the very painful thing.
"I hope it's just a rumor, but all the evidence says that it's true that your father is corrupt in his own company, you know that's not it?" ask Karin without caring about Sarah's feelings. Sarah's eyes have even glazed glass and her chest feels tight.
Naina immediately came and scolded Karin.
" Keep your talk" Naina snapped, then she pulled Sarah into her class as soon as the exam began. Karin herself just flicked her shoulders while flicking her lips.
"Sarah, are you still in school here? I thought you'd move straight to a cheaper school after your father went bankrupt" exclaimed one of the students in his class. Sarah was about to leave because she couldn't stand it, but Naina held her back.
"Don't listen to them, Sarah. We just focus on the exam" Naina said, taking Sarah to a seat.
"I'm going home, Naina. I want to know the truth of this news, I want to know what really happened" said Sarah trying to hold back her tears so as not to spill.
"Later after school we find out together, okay? Now focus on this exam" persuaded her, initially Sarah refused, what more friend of her friend who kept throwing questions and scathing insinuations on Sarah. Even the bad girl Karin recommends cheap school to Sarah, she says it's suitable for Sarah who now has nothing left.
But Naina continues to defend Sarah and asks Sarah to ignore them.
"Oh my God, what really happened"

Even for this purpose, Devano had to pretend to be William's business partner, pura became his best friend and approached his family, only to find out their weaknesses, the ins and outs of their company and it would make his easily destroy her as she is now.
"This is just the beginning, William. The real game is about to start"
