Alby massaged his temples a little dizzy. He was very tired because this day he had a series of emergency operations that took time and his mind was quite long. Even this morning he did not have time to drive Devi to the campus which is the opposite direction from his workplace and Alby felt guilty about it. Moreover, as soon as they cross paths at the door of Devi's apartment just stay still without saying a single word to her, making Alby think Devi must be disappointed with the answer every time Devi asks about Icha to him.
Alby also knew he should have immediately told Devi who Icha really was before the girl thought anything of him. But Alby feels not ready to re-examine his past with Icha. But seeing Devi cry last night makes Alby convince himself that he must tell Devi about Icha.
Alby just doesn't want Devi to misunderstand him. The only person he loves now is just Devi, nothing else.
Alby glanced at his watch. It's 21:25 WIB and he hasn't come home yet. Alby had told Devi in a message to go to bed first because she was going home late but the girl did not reply.
Is Devi still mad at me?
Alby decides to contact Devi alone to make sure.
Devi's first ring does not answer her call making Alby think Devi must have slept. But just as he was about to turn off his phone, Alby noticed Devi had answered his call.
"Hello. Dev-" Alby's words stopped as soon as he heard a loud music sound and Devi's voice sounded like a drunk person.
"Huaaa kak Fitra cannot be on the phone!!"
That must be Arin's voice!
Afterwards Alby could hear all the words of Arin and Devi who were cursing at Fitra. Alby becomes convinced that Devi and Arin must be drunk and at a nightclub.
Geck! Geck!
Alby turned to the source of the voice. There Ryan walked into his room.
"Why haven't you come home yet?" ask Ryan.
"There are still some reports that I haven't finished yet" Alby replied.
"Just finish tomorrow, Devi must be waiting for you to come home. I go home first, yes" said Ryan.
Alby nodded his head in response. Then he looked back at his phone and apparently the call had been disconnected. Alby thinks Devi ended the call when in fact it was Alby who accidentally ended the call.
Alby called Devi. This time Devi answered him.
"Hm? What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"Om Alby want to take me home? I don't want to!!! I don't want to go home, I just want to sleep on a more comfortable road. I'm hoek!! Om I'm in the wind hoek!"
"You drunk?"
"I got in the wind!!!!"
"Where are you now?!" ask Alby firmly.
"Why lookin' for me? Doesn't Alby have a new woman? I saw her, I saw Alby kissing her cheek. But, um, I'm prettier than her. Why is Alby cheating on me?!"
The deg!
How did Devi know Alby had ever kissed a woman other than her?
Without wasting any more time, Alby immediately took off his snell and replaced it with his coat. Tonight he has to find Devi before anything happens to him, especially now that he is in a vulnerable place like a nightclub.
As soon as Alby passed the IGD, Alby saw Fitra walking in front of him holding his backpack. Apparently Fitra was also going home.
Without a doubt Alby immediately pulled Fitra's back collar and asked him to follow her.
"Lho doc? Take off my shirt, what's going on?" confused Fitra while asking to be released.
"Follow me," said Alby coldly, which made Fitra inevitably follow where Alby was about to take him away.
*****
"Night club? Doctor Alby didn't ask me to get drunk, did he? I'm anti-drinking, you doc."
Alby ignored Fitra's words, he immediately entered the nightclub with Fitra trailing behind him.
"Dok, this isn't true. Why did we come here? Doctor Alby wants to get drunk, huh? Or find a woman? That's not doctor Alby-"
"You go find Arin, I find my fiancee," Alby cut firmly that made Fitra round her eyes as soon as she heard Alby's words.
"Within?"
"That's Arin," pointed to Alby, who surprised Fitra even more. "Arin's drunk and I'm handing it to you. Watch out if you take advantage of this opportunity to seek your pleasure" Alby threatened.
Fitra did not listen to Alby's words until he found Arin dancing drunk.
Alby refocuses his search on Devi. If Arin is in dancefloor it means Devi is also not far from there.
Alby kept looking among the dozens of people who were busy having fun until his gaze fell on a girl sitting on a sofa accompanied by a man.
"Why refuse me? You're alone, wouldn't it be better if someone accompanied you?" said the foreign man who had suddenly sat beside Devi.
Devi screeched dislike while looking at the foreign man lazily.
"You're ugly unlike my fiancee, of course I don't want to! Just leave don't bother me," Devi pushed away but the man remained silent.
"Trust me, I can make you have fun tonight" the stranger said.
"DIVI KUSUMA WARDHANI!!!"
Not until Devi replied to the words of the stranger, a thunderous voice belonging to Alby directly entered his eardrum made Devi surprised by surprise.
"Om Alby" said Devi spontaneously.
"So you're om-om's mistress. As soon as you pretended to reject me," said the stranger as he got up from his seat and left Devi alone with Alby because he did not want to get involved in the matter.
"Wake up! Let's go!" alby orders Devi to stand up.
"No way!! Release me!!! Om let go of me!! I don't want to go home, I want to have fun!!" reject Devi and ask to be released.
Alby still does not want to let go of his checks to make Devi more and more.
"Arin help me!!! I want to be kidnapped by evil om-om!!! Arina!!" devi shouted as she continued to thrash and hit Alby's hand that was blocking his arm.
"Let's go home!" command Alby again with emphasis.
"I don't want to go home, I don't want to see Alby kissing the woman" Devi said in tears.
Alby who heard it immediately relaxed the check.
"Where did you see?" ask Alby.
Instead of answering Alby's question, Devi grabbed another glass of alcoholic beverages and gulped it down to the toilet before Alby could stop him.
"Stop! Why drink again?!!"
Because it was out of patience, Alby took off the coat he wore and immediately attached to Devi's open shoulder. After that Alby immediately carried Devi ala bridal style and took her out of the club.
Of course Devi did not stay silent, he continued to thrash about asking to be taken down. But Alby stayed with his actions and tightened his sling.
"Down me!!!"
"I'm sorry wait a minute!" reprimanding one of the guards stopped Alby's steps.
Alby wastes his rough breathing. This security guard is totally wasting his time for free!
"Are you this girl?" ask the security guard.
"I'm his fiancee" Alby said, showing a ring on his ring finger.
The security guard looked a little suspicious but as soon as Alby showed the same ring on Devi's ring finger, the security guard came to believe.
"Ah I'm sorry I thought you were going to do something evil to this lady because I see this lady constantly thrashing to be let down."
"What else?" pissed Alby.
"This miss is missing" the security guard said, handing over several large bags of groceries.
Alby had a little trouble accepting it so he took Devi down from his sling.
"Go down first and don't go anywhere" said Alby lowered Devi and received Devi's grocery bag from the security guard.
Once revealed, Devi immediately used it to run from Alby. But because of drunkenness, Devi finally fell.
"Yahoooo!!!" wept as soon as she fell.
Alby did not directly help Devi stand up, he crouched down next to Devi who fell on her stomach. Alby sighed softly trying to be patient over Devi's actions.
"Let's help you stand up" said Alby softly.
"No way!! It's more comfortable to sleep here" Devi refused as she pressed her cheek against the ground.
"But it's dirty. Look at your clothes on the ground."
"I don't want to go home, I don't want to meet that woman" cried Devi who made Alby confused.
Whose woman?
"Women? Is there another woman in the apartment besides you?"
Devi sat herself down while looking at Alby.
"There's."
"Who?"
"Icha."
The deg! Alby surprised. How can Devi say Icha is inside her apartment? Alby's anger just overflowed out of nowhere.
"I'm this who's Alby? Hiks me kelikannya om Alby or a woman named Icha who became his affair om Alby? Uh what did I say? I don't know if it's like that, I'm confused to explain it myself."
Alby was silent looking into Devi's reddened eyes and tearful eyes.
Is this the cause of Devi getting drunk like this?
"Let's get up first" said Alby to help Devi rise to her feet but Devi again refused.
"I don't want to go home, I just sleep here" Devi said, laying herself on the ground again but quickly Alby held Devi's head before touching the ground.
"Here dirty a lot of germs and diseases, later if you become sick how?"
"I'm sick huaaa. My heart hurts, " cried Devi again.
Alby rubbed Devi's cheeks, trying to clean up the ground that was stuck to her cheek.
"How about we sleep in a hotel?"
"Hotel?"
"Yes, if at the hotel you won't meet with-" Alby took a short pause. I don't know all of a sudden Alby can't name Icha. "With the woman you mean."
"He won't be coming to the hotel, will he?"
"No."
Devi seemed to think for a moment then she nodded her head in agreement.
"But I'm dizzy, I want to sleep. I don't want to go there, there's a long way to Alby's car park. I sleep here only," said Devi again with the characteristic drunk.
"I carried it all the way to the car" said Alby.
Devi was silent again.
"How's it?"
Devi nodded her head in response.
Alby crouched down in front of Devi and put his coat on Devi who had missed when Devi fell, then he asked Devi to climb on her back.
"Om Alby can get my groceries?" devi asked as she put her head on Alby's shoulder.
"Can" replied Alby.
Alby's right hand carries Devi's groceries while his left hand supports Devi so as not to fall from her sling.
"Of."
"Hm?"
"Om Alby loves me, right?" ask Devi lirih.
"Of course" replied Alby.
"But I'm short, ugly and not sexy."
"I don't care. I like you all the time."
"Just like?"
"No. Of course love too. I love Devi forever," Ralat Alby.
Devi was silent while squeezing her embrace on Alby's neck until suddenly her stomach felt nauseous again.
"Om put me down" said Devi as she thrashed asking to be taken down.
Alby dropped Devi and the girl sat down on the ground crying.
"What's wrong?"
"My stomach feels nauseous. I want to puke" Devi's great-grandson.
"Just spit out is okay," Alby said softly.
"I'll hold him. I'm afraid Alby is disgusted at me. I don't want to throw up" Devi said smothering her mouth.
"No dear."
"No way."
"I won't see" Alby said at the end.
Devi fell silent. Then he turned his head up and saw the starlight that shone in the darkness of the night.
"I'm just like this so don't get nauseous."
"Alright, if you feel nauseous just say it and don't be afraid I'm disgusted at you okay?"
"Hm."
Alby again stepped his feet towards the parking lot which was only a few meters away.
"In this world the thing I fear the most is losing Alby" said Devi, who can still be heard by Alby.
Not until Alby said something, Devi's stomach again felt nauseous and he immediately vomited his stomach contents before he could ask Alby to be taken down from his carrier.
"Sorry, I can't help it."
