The Married By Challenge
The Part 34

William returns to report Airin on charges of defamation and spreading lies where it greatly affects his family. Even though Airin did not defend himself, he admitted that William never raped her. But when in the introduction what motive Airin do all that and whether there is anyone behind Airin. Airin just said he did his own thing and there was no one behind him. And the motive for the fake report was revenge because William's company did not accept him when he applied for a job while Airin was in desperate need of a job. Of course, that reason does not make sense to William because the business of accepting or rejecting applicants is HRD and William does not know about it. William forces Airin to admit his true motive, but Airin insists it is his only motive. Even when the police interrogation was still Airin did not say any other reason other than his false excuse. Because there's no way he's saying Devanolah's behind all this.

Finally William gave up even though he still did not believe, at least now his name is cleared and the news has also been spread.

While Devano began helping William's company again and this time as sincerely as possible. He also introduces William to several investors but not many want to believe in William because of the case of Jason who is still labeled as a corruptor in his own company.

Devano decides that he will be an investor in William's company and now he must also restore Jason's good name and also return Jason's wealth.

At her school, Sarah still faces the same day, although Airin has admitted his mistake but it does not have a better impact. Sarah's still an outcast and still a gossip, but Sarah doesn't care about it.

Sarah and Naina are sitting in the corner talking about Devano changing completely.

"Maybe he sympathizes with what happened, then he is good" said Naina.

"But he said he loved me three times he said that. But the problem is that he said he didn't want to divorce me, our challenge has also not happened again" said Sarah with a sullen face "You think he's serious or lying?"

"Hmmm..." Naina seemed to think "Try on later Jacob asked. Yep... Fellow man who knows he can guess the feelings of his other man" Sarah laughs amusedly because what his second is still often dependent on Jacob. But Sarah agreed, for her Jacob was like his own brother.

Soon the bell rang a sign that the break was over and the lesson time would start again.

After the lesson was over, Sarah was ready to go home. He put his book in a bag and he found his phone vibrating. After checking, Devano sends a message saying that Devano is waiting for Sarah in front. Sarah was shocked to read the message and her expression did not go unnoticed by Naina.

"Is he?" naina and Sarah asked.

"His word is in front, he's picking it up"

"Wow, maybe it's Sarah's trap. Maybe he's good enough that you love him and then he'll win the bet"

Sarah seemed to seriously respond to Naina's remarks and now she had to be more careful to face Devano. she also had to keep her good heart good so as not to fall into Devano's grasp.

"Yes, come on. All of us anterin you" said Sarah later.

Naina is very surprised because a Devano wants to take her home according to Sarah's request. Naina also notices Devano's behavior and she does feel that there is something different about Devano, especially the way she looks at Sarah is no longer as cold or intimidating as before.

"Thank you, Mr. Lake" said Naina then got off Devano's car because without feeling now they have arrived in front of Naina's house.

"Same, Naina" Devano replied as she gave a faint smile.

"Hem, but to Will's apartment first. I'm gonna go get my stuff"

"I've taken it earlier" said Devano with his relax that makes Sarah can only gap but he did not answer again because it was useless.

"Sarah..." exclaimed Devano because Sarah had been silent since "What did she think?"

"Dev, can you help Papa return his company and prove that Papa has been managing the company well and honestly?" sarah asked, but the question looked like a huge request and plea. Without even thinking a bit Devano nodded immediately.

"I promise I will return everything as soon as possible" Devano replied but Sarah would not have thought that what Devano meant was accountability for Devano's mistakes.

"You need to promise, too, Dev. I just wanted to ask for help, yeah, because I'm still in school and I don't know what to do to help papa" sarah said with a smile but she was happy if Devano really wanted to help her.

Sarah was surprised by Devano who suddenly stroked her head gently.

"Your father will get his good name back. I promise" Devano insisted. For a moment Sarah could feel something different with Devano's tone but she tried to ignore it.

"Thank you" said Sarah sincerely.

And without feeling now they arrived and Bi Eni welcomed Sarah so warmly even impressed like a different person.

Of course Bi Eni treated Sarah differently after Devano told Bi Eni that William was not the perpetrator of the crime against his sister. Devano has told Margaret that.

Now Bi Eni hopes for a bright future for the marriage of Mr and his young mistress. Especially since Bi Eni saw a significant change in Devano since Sarah's presence in Devano's life.

"Later tonight I'll take you out to dinner" Devano said after the two reached the room.

"Sort of dating?" sarah asked, which made Devano chuckle, but she also nodded. Sarah looked at Devano full of anticipation.

"You want to trap me, okay?" ask Sarah then "Pura pura good so that I fall in love continue you can prove that you are the one who can win the challenge?"

Hearing Sarah's questions and statements that still do not believe that Devano loves makes Devano a little furious.

"Tell me what do I do to make you believe that you really love you, Sarah? And I want our relationship to be serious"

Sarah was again astonished to hear Devano's words that seemed very sincere from the heart. But Sarah remains in her belief that Devano is just pretending to make Sarah fall in love with him.

"Come on, just do what you want but I don't think I'll fall in love with you" Sarah said, then she picked up a towel, a change of clothes and immediately rushed to the bathroom.

While Devano chuckles again, it will be difficult for Devano to prove that he loves Sarah but Devano will not give up.

Now there's only two things Devano has to do right away. First, give Jason his good name back. Second, make Sarah believe in Devano's love and also love Devano.

"I know I'm gonna make it, Little girl. Just wait and watch!"
