Doctor Alby Pujaan Hati
Graduation Gifts

"Of!!!" devi shouted happily as she ran to hug Alby.

"Don't run down" said Alby as he walked toward Devi to keep her from running too far toward him, but as usual Devi did not bully her.

"Om Alby why lie?" devi asked pursing her lips.

"Surprise" whispered Alby who made Devi smile widely.

"When I had confided in Arin and Gara that I was very sad that Alby could not come" said Devi.

"But it's not sad anymore, is it?" alby Goda.

Devi nodded her head with her wide smile. Devi also signals Alby to lower his body because the difference in height with Alby far away makes it difficult to whisper something to Alby.

"Om Alby want me to kiss you?" devi whispered right in Alby's ear.

"Here?" reply Alby.

Without waiting for an answer from Devi, Alby immediately hugged Devi's possessive waist.

"You okay if tomorrow's a hot topic at school?" alby asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Just take it as a memento before leaving school," Devi replies, returning Alby's embrace.

At the time Alby was about to bring his face closer to Devi, suddenly a loud voice Gara stopped his action.

"Let's go in, the graduation ceremony is about to begin," shouted Gara interrupting.

"Ck Gara really ruined the atmosphere!" annoyed Devi while looking annoyed at Gara.

"Dev come!!" yell without sin.

"Come, the ceremony's about to begin," Alby held Devi's hand.

Alby who saw the look on Devi's face was also laughing. Devi is so adorable with her pursed lips.

The cup!

Devi rounded her eyes as soon as Alby kissed her lips at a glance. Devi looked towards Alby.

"Don't be angry anymore, if you want to after the show you can kiss me as much as you can," Alby's tease that immediately makes Devi blush.

"Om," scolded Devi in shame.

Afterwards they walked together to enter the school building to carry out the graduation ceremony.

"Om Abi and Aunt Ishy where's om?" devi asked in a frenzy looking for the whereabouts of Abhimanyu and Ishwari.

"There was. Let's go in first let mom and dad catch up with us later," asked Alby, who is possessed by Devi.

"But o'm."

"Hm?"

"Om Alby here didn't bring anything?"

"What's eagle?" alby was confused.

"Look, my friends got flowers and graduation presents but why didn't Alby bring me anything?" point Devi towards her other friends.

Alby seemed to be scratching his nape which was not itchy. Apparently he forgot to buy Devi a graduation gift.

"Dev sorry I forgot. After the show we bought it, right? I promise I'll buy you anything you want" Alby persuaded.

"Promise me?" devi asked as she pointed her little finger at Alby.

"promises. But what do you want a gift for?"

"There," Devi replied with a mysterious smile. "Let's go in."

"Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question."

"What I want is easy and cheap."

"What's that?"

"A set of prayer tools paid in cash."

*****

"Let's get off," Alby as soon as they arrive at the airport.

After Devi's graduation, Alby did not immediately bring Devi home. Instead of taking Devi on vacation somewhere.

"Airport? Why are we going to the airport? Who are we going to pick up? Renata? Renata's sister has gone home?!" ask Devi enthusiastically.

"It's still less than two weeks to pick Renata up here" Alby replied as he removed his seatbelt.

"Why are we here for?" confused Devi.

Alby immediately got out of the car and turned around to open the car door for Devi.

"Holiday" replied Alby, letting Devi down.

"Vacation?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Who?"

"We both."

For a second Devi still could not believe Alby's words until Alby opened the trunk of the car and took out two suitcases from it.

"Are we on holiday??"

"Do I look like I'm lying?"

Devi immediately rushed into Alby's arms and even Devi jumped up just like wrapping her legs around Alby's waist and Alby swiftly held her back.

"Huaaaa om Alby very understanding. I've been very stressed because I didn't pass the test at UI but thanks to Alby the stress is gone" said Devi happily.

"It should be a holiday after graduation like this not even before the exam go on vacation" said Alby.

"Om Alby don't talk about it anymore, let's hurry up and leave before we miss the plane" Devi said, hitting Alby's shoulder slowly.

"Then get down so fast."

"No way," Devi refused as she pressed her arms around Alby's neck.

"All right, let's go in like this" said Alby, who made Devi come straight down from Alby's sling.

"Why down? Don't you want to get inside the airport with a cradle?"

"Once you don't want to get off my sling" said Alby.

"I was just kidding. Here's my suitcase let me take it."

Devi immediately takes over her pink suitcase from Alby's hands but Alby forbids it.

"no need. Let me just, you just walk around beside me and embrace my arm so you don't disappear" Alby joked.

"I'm not the kind of kindergarten kid who gets lost in the crowd so regardless of his mother's grasp!" devi protests.

"Then Alby bring everything!!" devi continued as she walked away from Alby. But just a few steps he left Alby, Devi stopped his steps and went back to Alby and hugged his arm.

"I'm afraid Alby is gone" Devi's alibi makes Alby laugh.

*****

Devi unceasingly stared in amazement at the night scene before her. Devi did not expect Alby would take her on a holiday in Singapore.

They are now on the Singapore Flyer. Once he arrived at Changi Airport, Alby immediately took him there.

Devi fell silent. She still clearly remembers her togetherness with her brother here. Enjoy the beauty of Singapore and talk a lot with Sean.

"Om" call Devi.

Alby who hugged Devi's body from behind also propped his head on Devi's shoulder.

"Hm?"

"Om what country is it?" show Devi.

"Australia."

"It means right my answer first," said Devi who made Alby not understand.

"What answer?"

"I've been here with Sean's brother and Renata's brother. I said it was Indonesia but brother Sean said my answer was wrong, but Renata's answer was even worse. Renata's older brother said it was Korea" Devi told cheerfully. But Alby catches something else from Devi's eye bead. Alby can clearly see Devi's longing for Sean, at every moment of togetherness Devi spent with Sean in her final moments.

"Then you guys talked about what else?"

"I told you that Alby must be saving the patient, but Sean again said my words were wrong. It was night time just like this and Sean said that Alby was not saving the patient because Alby was home."

"You're right again" said Alby, who made Devi turn her back to look at Alby.

"If you say the time is exactly as it is now then you are right. At that time I got an emergency patient who had just been in an accident and as you say I was saving his life who was on the verge of death. Your brother is wrong again" Alby said with a smile.

"Om Alby was right, sister was wrong" Devi turned her back to Alby to hide her crying.

"Sister was also wrong for not telling me about his illness earlier. I'm going to complain to my sister to let her be scolded" Devi continued with teary eyes.

Alby who responded with Devi's feelings immediately wrapped his hands on Devi's stomach and held her tightly.

"If you want to cry, crying is okay. There's me, I'll hold you like this" whispered Alby.

Devi silently flinched.

"You know why I brought you here when we should have rested first and gone for a walk the next day?" alby's question was answered by Devi's headband.

"When you get home from here, Sean tells Renata that he should invite you to the Singapore Flyer again to celebrate your graduation and Renata tells me about it. Today is exactly six months from Sean's departure, I immediately invite you here instead of tomorrow" explained Alby gently.

"Dev, this is actually your brother's graduation gift. Your brother promised you'd take you for a walk in Singapore, didn't he?"

Devi nodded her head in response. He remembered Sean's words that would take him to go for a walk when Devi knew Sean was sick at the time. Until finally when he was about to leave Sean's disease relapsed and ended they watched Korean dramas in his nursery.

"Your brother never broke a promise" continued Alby who immediately made Devi spill her grief.

Devi turned around and immediately hugged Alby tightly spilling all the tears she desperately held back.

Devi sobbed in Alby's arms.

Alby lets Devi take the time to vent her grief. Alby knows what it's like to lose. Let alone Devi who just left six months ago, Alby who had been left many years ago was sometimes still remembered and sad.

After a while later, Devi released her hug on Alby but Alby's hand still faithfully hugged her waist.

"Alby's clothes get wet" Devi said as she rubbed Alby's shirt wet with tears.

"It's okay. How's it?"

"It's better o'm" Devi replied with a smile.

"You're gonna complain to Sean about your mom, aren't you?" joked Alby with a soft tone.

"No. I have the heart Sean scolded my mother," replied Devi.

Alby smiled at it. He was relieved Devi had looked better.

"You've got a graduation gift from Sean, now I'm the only one who hasn't given you a present" Alby said, wiping off a tear on Devi's cheek.

"Om Alby what do you want to give me? I don't want anything other than what I asked for this afternoon" Devi joked as she folded her arms.

"I don't think I've been able to give it to you. But I can take it," said Alby, who confused Devi.

A few seconds later, Devi laughed. It seems Alby is taking Devi's request seriously.

"Om I was just kidding. Om Alby don't have to give me anything. Really, with the presence of Alby alone is enough to be a graduation gift for me," said Devi ended her laughter.

Alby smiled faintly. Then the next second he bent one of his knees and opened a white velvet box with a pink diamond ring inside.

"Of."

Devi could say nothing more than to stare at Alby. Is Alby going to propose to her now?

"Like the sacred lotus flower in Asian folklore, pink depicts beauty, understanding and unconditional love. In addition, the pink stone is said to be able to protect the love between the user and the ring giver forever. That's why I chose this pink diamond."

"Didn't that describe us? Unconditional love, other than love we no longer need any reason to be together. I know this is just a myth but I hope this ring can protect our love forever."

"So, will you marry me and spend the rest of our lives together in a household?"

Devi closed her mouth using both hands. He can't believe Alby has proposed to him and asked him to get married. Is this really real?

"Om" Devi's great-grandson.

"I'm sorry to pay the interest first, for the repayment I will give later after you want to receive my interest payment," said Alby.

Devi shed her tears of joy before she nodded her head in acceptance of Alby's proposal.

"I want om" said Devi hugging Alby. "Make sure that Alby really pays the repayment," continued Devi who made Alby smile happily.
