The Married By Challenge
The Part 40
Scared to meet Devano after what happened in the car, Sarah chose to go home to her parents.
The kiss was completely different than usual, Sarah felt as if Devano claimed her and wanted to tie her up. Sarah was confused and scared at the same time.
At her parents' house, Sarah only lives alone with her Mama because her Papa and William are working in William's office.
"Is your marriage going well?" ask Venita to Sarah who is busy enjoying the afternoon breeze in her yard.
"Hem" Sarah answered without looking.
"Why? You had a fight with Devano?" ask the mother again.
"Ma, actually..." Sarah wanted to tell the truth but her mom couldn't believe it.
"What actually?" ask Venita. Sarah nodded while shaking.
"You must be fighting, right with Devano?" urge Venita what else is not usually Sarah directly home from school.
"Engga, Mother. Justjust... Sarah's just not ready" whispered Sarah who made Venita frown.
"What's ready? You hamili?" peekik Venita who immediately makes Sarah glare.
"That's it, Ma. We never do that" answered Sarah accidentally and it immediately made her mama gawk.
"How did you ever do that?" ask Venita who made Sarah feel excited. He could only scratch "Sarah's head, silent"
"It's nothing, Ma" Sarah replied embarrassedly.
"mama seriously, Sarah. What do you mean, you haven't..."
"Not yet" Sarah replied quickly interrupting her Mama's remark.
"Gosh, Sarah. Why aren't you KB yet? Let's remember, you're still in school and Sarah can only gawk. What he meant was not having sex but whose mother responded even KB problems.
"Let Mama talk to Devano so you can prevent pregnancy" she said, which makes Sarah again only able to lift. What's more when Sarah was about to talk, her mother was already sliding away making Sarah can only pat eidat.
In the evening, Devano comes to Sarah at Jason's house. Sarah thinks Devano will pick her up but turns out Devano actually asked Sarah to stay with her parents for a few days because Devano had to go to London to check on her sister's condition.
And Devano also meets Jason and Venita. Devano told me he had a sick sister in London. They seem surprised to learn that Devano has a younger brother and is now in a coma.
After speaking and saying goodbye to his in-laws, Devano had to leave because of his flight tonight as well.
Sarah drove Devano to the front, actually she wanted to take Devano to the airport but Devano forbade her.
"Greet Catty" said Sarah and from the look on Devano's face, Sarah could feel the tension and Devano was very frightened.
"Yes, take care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell Dominic" Sarah nodded and hugged Devano. Devano hugged Sarah very tightly and kissed her forehead and pi. Now they are like husband and wife in general.
After that, Devano had already heak into his car but Sarah blocked his hand.
"Dev.." exclaimed. Devano turned his head and Sarah hugged him again.
"Dev, sometimes we have to let go of the person we love for his good" said Devano's great Sarah.
Sarah let go of her embrace and she looked into Devano's eyes.
"What do you mean?" ask Devano.
"You'll understand when you see Caitlin later. Think of him, Dev"
Although still do not understand Sarah's intentions, but Devano had to leave before he missed his plane. And before leaving, Devano took the time to kiss Sarah's lips that always felt sweet and tempting.

After escorting Devano, Sarah returned to her house and in the middle room her parents were waiting.
"Sarah, since when did you know that Devano has a sister?" ask Jason curiously.
"It's old, but it's only when we get to London that I meet him. It's very worrisome, Pa"
"But why Devano never told me about it" continued Venita.
"Maybe because of the condition of his sister as now and he is also the son of his father's affair same servant of his house"
"Who's his sister's name?" ask Jason.
"Caitlin Lake" replied Sarah and at the same time William had just come and heard Sarah mention the name.
"Caitlin?" ask William.
Sarah just plainly nodded her head making William confused "Caitlin who?" ask her again.
"His sister is Dev, her name is Caitlin" replied Sarah.
"Devano has a sister?" william asked in surprise and Sarah once again nodded "Caitlin?" william muttered because the name was familiar to him.
"Why? You know a girl named Caitlin?" ask Venita.
"Engga, Mother. Just a stranger and.when in prison, some say I shouted Caitlin as I slept" said William who makes everyone more confused.
"Ma, Mum. Did I have an acquaintance before named Caitlin?" ask William. Jason also shakes Venita.
"Sure your mom doesn't have it. But ask Freya, maybe your childhood friend or your schoolmate first" Venita suggested.
William was speechless and now he was taking Caitlin's name seriously.
And Devano has a sister? That was very shocking news for William.

London...
Devano was told that Caitlin had a seizure. The internal organs were damaged due to drugs that must be inserted into Caitlin's body every day.
Once again, the Doctor suggests that Devano release Caitlin for Caitlin's own good. Because life also feels useless and there will only be more tormenting the body of Caitlin who is already half dead.
Devano looked at Caitlin and remembered Sarah's words.
"Dev, sometimes we have to let go of the person we love for his own good"
"You'll understand when you see Caitlin later. Think of him, Dev"
Is this what Sarah meant?
Devano asked the doctor for a day to think about this. While Margaret obviously rejected it because she still wanted her child to live.
And of course Devano wouldn't bother with Margaret's opinion even if she was Caitlin's mother.
Devano started thinking about everything, what happened to Caitlin 5 five years ago. And what Caitlin has been going through for the last five years, Devano forces Caitlin to survive while Caitlin is unable to live.
Devano was also conscious, wounding Caitlin not only in her body but also in her soul.
True said the doctor, life will not be any use now Caitlin's internal organs are starting to break down. There was no hope Caitlin could live.
Devano sat down next to Caitlin overnight without even closing her eyes. When Devano lost his parents, Caitlin was the only one he had as his sister. Devano sincerely loved Caitlin from the bottom of his heart.
And now, should Devano lose her?
But if that's the best thing for Caitlin, Devano has to let go.
"I'm sorry, Catty. I should have been able to look after you" Devano stroked Caitlin's head.
"And sorry that I tortured you all this time, I was too afraid to lose you. And William, William helped you back then, didn't he? You mentioned her name because you wanted me to help her, right? You take it easy, Catty. William survived and now he's fine even though he's lost his memory" Devano clasps his sister's skinny hand and kisses her.
"And Sarah, who I brought here at the time. She's my wife and she's William's sister, I love her. She's my first love, I hope you're blessing our marriage"
Unknowingly, Devano shed his tears and he peeked long at his sister's forehead.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to be a good brother, Dek. I hope you're sorry, brother, and sister loves you so much. Good bye, my dear"
