Devi blinked her eyes and tried to recognize where she was. His head was heavy and a little dizzy. Maybe it's the effect he got drunk last night.
Get drunk!
Devi opened the blanket and was shocked to find that her clothes had changed.
Who replaced my clothes?
"Away awake?"
Devi was shocked and he immediately set his eyes on Alby who was now walking towards him with a tray filled with breakfast.
Alby who saw Devi looking panicked immediately knew what made Devi act like that.
"I'm sorry I changed your clothes and we don't sleep in hotels because we can't get there in dirty clothes. You take it easy, I'm not doing anything to you" Alby said softly.
"Why not just dance?"
"Yesterday was late at night and I couldn't have asked him to come here."
Alby placed the tray containing the breakfast on the nightstand next to Devi's bed.
"Breakfast first and then take this drunk antidote," said Alby.
Devi silently flinched. He was remembering what really happened last night. Why would he be with Alby? Wasn't he with Arin last night?
Alby smiled at Devi, who was trying to remember last night.
"Yesterday"
Not until Alby finished his sentence, Devi had already remembered the incident even he closed his mouth using his right hand so much as not trusting with what he did last night.
Devi remembers sleeping on the ground and vomiting in Alby's arms, and more shamefully she remembers telling Alby that the only thing she was afraid of was losing Alby.
Damnit damnit! I'm so stupid! From now on I will never drink alcohol again!!
"Remember?"
Devi stares cynically at Alby while continuing to curse her stupidity.
"Om Alby don't scold me? I have a reason why I did it!" said Devi ketus trying to cover up her embarrassment.
"Yes I know. For this time I won't scold you but for the next time don't expect me to let you," Alby said as he gently ruffled Devi's hair but Devi immediately brushed it off.
"My hair is a mess!!"
Alby stopped his action. He immediately took the food that was on the tray and intended to feed it to Devi.
"Now breakfast first. Let's open your mouth."
"I don't want to! I'm not hungry!" reject Devi.
"Eat first, you haven't eaten yet."
"No way!"
"Dev!" reprimand Alby firmly.
"I'll eat alone!"
Devi grabs the plate in Alby's hands and starts eating her food.
While eating, Devi observes Alby who keeps staring at her and it makes Devi uncomfortable.
"Om Alby's not working?"
"I asked for permission today."
Devi just ber oh ria without wanting to ask further. He's still mad at Alby for Icha.
After three mouthfuls of food entered his stomach, Devi put the plate back on the tray.
"Why not spend?"
"My stomach is not feeling well and my head is still dizzy. Can Alby just get out of my room? I want to go back to sleep, "push Devi out.
"Then drink the antidote for his drunkenness."
"No way!" reject Devi while putting a small glass of liquid that Alby thrusts on her tray.
"This water is to relieve your drunkenness."
"I don't want to!"
Without waiting any longer, Alby immediately drank the liquid and stored it in his mouth and then immediately kissed Devi's lips and forced the liquid swallowed by Devi.
Devi who received such treatment also tried to release her lips from Alby but Alby was very strong to hold her nape until finally the liquid swallowed Devi to the end.
Uhuk! Uhuk!
"That salt solution is mixed with glucose, multivitamins and amino acids. It's called a cocktail to treat a hangover" Alby replied as he poured water on Devi.
"It just doesn't taste good! I don't want to drink that liquid anymore!"
"Then don't drink alcohol again."
Devi stared at Alby fiercely. What right does Alby have to forbid him from drinking alcohol?
"Come to me, why did Alby forbid me?!"
"If you drink alcohol, the frontal lobe will lose control and we can talk carelessly. I'm just afraid you're talking about something you don't really want to say" Alby reminded Devi of last night's events.
Devi who was still embarrassed by last night's events closed her eyes trying to erase all her bad memories of what happened last night.
"Om Alby don't talk about last night!"
"Quick go take a shower and change clothes, I want to take you somewhere" Alby told Devi. "Unless you want me to take your clothes off again" Alby whispered seductively to Devi.
"Basic pervert!!!!!"
Devi throws Alby with her pillow but Alby manages to evade.
"I'll give you an hour to get ready. I'll be here again after I finish a few things" said Alby out of Devi's room.
*****
"The tomb?"
Alby did not reply, all he did was hold Devi's hand and invite her to go further into the cemetery.
Devi just shut up and followed where Alby was going to take her. In Devi's heart, she wonders why Alby took her to the cemetery? What exactly does Alby want to show her?
"This is Icha" Alby said, showing a tombstone bearing the name 'Marisha'.
Devi closed her mouth in surprise.
So Icha is dead?
"The person you see in my wallet and my box is here" Alby said.
Devi looked towards Alby. Devi could see the face of the lute that Alby was displaying as soon as he was in front of Icha's tomb and suddenly a feeling of guilt filled his chest cavity.
Devi crouched down and observed the tombstone in silence. He sees the date of Icha's death which means Icha was gone long before Devi met Alby.
"You want to go somewhere more comfortable to tell everything?" Alby Tawp.
"No om. No need," declined Devi as she got up to look at Alby. "Om Alby doesn't have to explain everything. This is all my fault, I misunderstood and concluded everything without asking Alby further. I'm sorry."
"No. You don't have to apologize. It's time I told you who Icha really is."
"I don't want Alby to be sad by remembering Alby's past with Icha" Devi's great-granddaughter though in her heart she was eager to know what Alby and Icha's relationship was like in the past.
"No problem, honey. I'll tell you everything, let's go."
Alby again took Devi's hand and took her to a more comfortable place to tell her past with Icha until finally Alby chose a garden located not far from the cemetery area.
"Sit down" Alby said after cleaning the bench using a disinfectant.
Devi sat down next to Alby.
"Icha is my ex-boyfriend" Alby said.
Devi was not surprised to hear that because from the beginning she had expected it.
"He died of kidney failure."
"Kidney failure?"
"Yes. At that time I did not have time to save him so the guilt is still piling up until now" said Alby.
"That's why Alby paid Shiela? Om Alby did that as a form of compensation om Alby against Icha?"
"Yes. I'm sorry I should have said it from the beginning, it's just-"
"It's okay, um, I should be the one apologizing. Sorry for opening up Alby's bad memories."
Alby smiled wryly. He brought Devi into his arms.
"I'll throw away those pictures."
"no need. That's Alby's memory with Alby's girlfriend first. I'm the only woman for Alby anyway, right?"
"Of course."
Alby kisses the top of Devi's head long and holds the girl tightly while apologizing in his heart if what he told Devi has not been entirely about the truth of Icha's death. There are things that he must keep in meetings without Devi's knowledge.
