“What did you do to my face?” Dev touched his face in shock. Feeling so foreign to his reflection in the mirror. It never crossed his mind that he would go through something so bitter.
“Don’t be surprised! You should be grateful because the damage can still be repaired,” said Joana.
“Hah!”
“Sit down, I will treat your ears!” Joana slightly forced Dev to sit down, then swiftly took care of his ears.
“I will order food for you, after that you should rest. Tomorrow morning, the bandages on your body must be removed.” Dev only glanced at the woman beside him. Not in the mood to speak, even if only a word.
As the clock ticked, the beautiful doctor came out after checking Dev’s condition, which was getting better, and left the food that had just arrived. Dev stares meaningfully at the food served. What else was bothering him, a bowl of oatmeal topped with sesame and nuts he played with a spoon. The various boiled vegetables served in small bowls did not go unnoticed. In fact, he picked it up and watched it closely before his sharp nose sniffed the vegetable.
“What food is this?” He muttered after tasting hesitantly.
“It feels very strange.” He complained, but spent it too.
“Mommy never gave me food like this. Mommy?” Suddenly, Dev remembers that woman. His memory instantly reverted to the time when they had a duel with the mysterious man. Dev takes a sip of kefir, and leaves it down to half a glass, then stands with the fire lodged in his chest.
“I know you’re still alive. Hell demon, wait for my vengeance!”
Walking hastily to the bathroom, he removed all the bandages that were wrapped around his body. It was at the reflection in the large mirror that he gaped, the changes that occurred made his male soul pinch. Every inch of his new body gave a shock that slapped him over and over again. His body backed away with his head shaking a few times.
“What kind of joke is this?” Dev puts himself in a corner, avoiding a mirror that has just shown a very painful honesty. The hairs on his neck would goosebumps every time he looked at his body. However, no matter how hard he resisted, reality would not change. His expanding chest had confirmed that Dev was dead.

In the morning, Joana was surprised by the condition of Dev sitting on the edge of the bed without a bandage attached. Bowls of oatmeal and fish soup and fruit were brought to the table. Lost in daydream, the young man did not notice Joana’s presence at all.
“Hi, good morning!” Joana forced a smile when her greeting didn’t get a response.
“I was planning on taking off your bandages this morning, but it seems your curiosity is high.” This time, Joana’s words managed to make Dev look at her.
“Explain to me, why did you turn me into the same human as you! Are you trying to help me, or are you just making me a guinea pig?” Sighing, Joana was slightly surprised by Dev’s psychic attitude. Pulling a chair, the lady sits facing Dev.
“Sorry, if you might not like it. I have no other choice. You have serious burns, and your genitals are damaged. I can’t recover it. I hope you learn to accept your new identity!”
“You have to accept reality! Rest assured, this won’t hurt you at all,” Joana explained, giving a little breath of fresh air to Dev’s frantic mind. For a moment of thought, the young man finally said, “You’re right, being a woman doesn’t hurt me at all!” Joan’s smile widens. She didn’t want to think further about what made the person she helped change his opinion in such a short time. The woman didn’t bother to recover his shaken mind.
“Good! By the way, what’s your name?” asked Joan.
“Saka!” said Dev, deliberately disguising his true identity. Of course, he didn’t just trust the woman in front of him, even though that person had saved his life.
“Okay, Saka. I can help if you want to change all your identities. Next time, I will ask you something else. Now, eat your breakfast!” Joana lifted her weight and was about to do something else, but something stopped her.
“Why are the backs of your hands and feet blistered?” Shaking his head, the young man could not possibly say that the blisters appeared because of the snake’s touch. Joana swiftly checks and takes care of Dev.
“Listen, you must be diligent in eating the food I prepared so that your swollen body parts recover quickly! For those blisters, there is nothing to worry about.”
“Thank you, Doctor Joana.”

After a few weeks of recovery, Dev is now in perfect health. In front of the mirror, he looked at he new body wrapped in a beautiful mini dress. The young man acknowledged the greatness of Joana. His body is proportional, and clean skin like that of women in general. Perfection is supported by a beautiful circle that expands quite large in the chest. And all of that is supported by Dev’s already handsome face.
“Oh, Sa-”
“Call me Devada!” Dev cut to Joana’s words, who suddenly entered without knocking on the door.
“Yes, Devada. Sorry, I forgot. I came here to say that I can’t take you to your new house. Today, I started being active in the hospital.”
“No problem. I can go there myself.”
“Alright, quickly let me know when you arrive.” Devada nodded, after which the door closed again.
Dev prepared a new ID card along with the cell phone, atm card, and other essentials in a dark brown sling bag. The hair that had been curled up had fallen apart. Dev’s hair was black and shiny. Devada brushed the fingers through it, then smiled again in the mirror.
“It was fun being a woman. Before, I had never seen a woman’s body. Now, I already know. Very beautiful, and exciting. Let’s just say, Devada is the reincarnation of Dev Sasaka.”
Satisfied, Devada rushed up Joana’s Audy through the crowds. Dev’s first destination was the cathedral. It was the last place she’d ever met Jess-her mother. However, when she got there, she did not get any information. Until finally, she decided to visit the Amora Diamond building.
The building looks dark even though the weather outside is very hot. Things were still the same as the last time she was there. Messed up with visible thickened dust. With big strides, Dev fixed the eyes on the counter-where Dev had hidden Elfara’s bloodied body. It turned out to be empty.
“Shit!” Devada kicked the table so that the heavy furniture was thrown and made many cracks in the wall. Unsatisfied with kicking, the gender-changed youth smashed the entire interior of the first floor with both hands, then came out red-hot.
Driving a car with overflowing emotions, Devada is involved in a police chase for violating traffic rules. The screech of tires was heard repeatedly. The way Devada brought the car enlivened the chaos that occurred on the road. Seen the police launched hot lead repeatedly. As a result of Devada’s actions, consecutive collisions were unavoidable. Devada is very good at dodging bullets that are aimed at the tires of her car.
“Stop!” Several police cars managed to surround Devada. She was forced to stop the car by swerving into a palm tree on the shoulder of the road, then got out when the police pointed guns.
“You are a brave girl!” said one of the police officers after giving the signal to lower the gun.
“Excuse me, Sir. I didn’t mean to make a mess. My car brakes lost control!” The policeman, who is estimated to be in his thirty years, immediately checked the car.
“What she said was true. I’ll take care of it, all of you take care of the accident behind.” The policeman called out to all the members, then turned his gaze to Devada.
“You still have to be responsible. After all, your car has already injured a lot of other drivers.”
“You’re going to throw me in jail?” Devada asked with cold eyes.
“No, if you’re willing to have dinner with me.” Was she so seductive, that the person in front of her was acting off the mark?
“How?” Devada nodded in the end. Considering this a new challenge, because serving with emotions will be detrimental to her rebirth.
“Good! I like it!” The brown-skinned man took Devada’s hand, and kissed it briefly.
“Give me your cell phone!” Devada held out the smartphone, let the policeman write down his own mobile number, and made a fake call.
“Thank you. Your number is as beautiful as your face.” Devada smiled crookedly in response to the boast.
“You are just a predator camouflaged as a state apparatus. Gross!” The girl cursed after their separation.
Remembering that her car could no longer be used, she contacted the repair shop to tow the four-wheeler to repair the brakes that she accidentally damaged and repair the body’s car that had been hit by bullets. The girl contacted Joana via text message so as not to arouse suspicion, then decided to go to her new house using public transportation.
Lago Sul, Devada has entered a luxurious white concrete building. Sitting on the sofa, the beautiful and beautiful view that automatically looks, dampens the burning sensation in the chest. Her eyes suddenly narrowed when she accidentally saw a small box under the table. She brushed off the dust that clung to the black leather fibers. She opened it, it turned out to be an album where on each sheet were photos of Joana and a young man during school.
“This man seems familiar. Who’s he?”
