Alby sat down beside Devi's body which was now lying weakly on the bed with a sad look. There was a sense of regret inside his chest as soon as he saw Ganendra successfully injuring Devi. If he had taken Devi to the hospital, Ganendra would not have found Devi and ended up injuring her.
But now the rice has become porridge. There's no point in Alby regretting it now.
Alby breathed for a moment. He remembered Devi's last words that the girl said before losing consciousness. Devi said she remembered everything.
What does the word mean? Has Devi regained her memory?
"By."
Renata's call makes Alby wake up from his daydream.
"There's someone who wants to see Devi."
"Who?" alby was confused.
"Secretary Sean."
"Secretary Sean? Since when did Sean have a secretary?"
Renata shrugged both of his shoulders not knowing as he himself was also confused since when Sean had a secretary.
"You're going home yet?" ask Alby.
"Not yet, it's just that I want to go to the cafe next door to get ice cream, what's up? I can cancel my intentions if you want."
"Can you take care of Devi for a minute while I go see Sean's secretary? I don't think I can leave her alone." Alby is unlikely to leave Devi alone especially in this hospital there is Raden who at any time can harm Devi.
"OK, go. I'll keep him here."
Renata accepts Alby's request. He sits next to Devi and looks after her until Alby returns. There was not yet a minute Renata sat, a nurse told Renata if any patients were in an emergency. Soon Renata leaves and leaves Devi alone.
*****
A man dressed in all black and his black mask complete with his hat was walking into the hospital. Inside his black jacket pocket was an injection filled with Arsenic-type poison liquid to kill his target this time.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man immediately walked into Devi's room. He saw that the girl was still soundly asleep and looked peaceful.
Apparently he's not yet human.
With slow steps, the man walked around the gurney and stopped right beside Devi.
He stared at Devi's peaceful face deeply and then his gaze ran towards Devi's wounded stomach. He admitted at this time he had feelings for Devi. That's why he hasn't done Devi's murder right.
For a second he hesitated to inject the liquid into the girl's body, but he hurriedly removed the invisible feeling and recalled how cruel Devi's father was to his family.
Raden reached into his jacket pocket and took the syringe. He must be quick before someone catches the action.
During this time Raden chose the fastest way to kill Devi so that the girl did not feel too much pain for a long time. That is why he was angry when he found out Ganendra killed Devi by wounding her while he only used a snail whose poison did not even hurt in the body but killed a human in less than ten minutes.
When Raden was about to inject liquid in Devi's infusion, suddenly he felt someone was pulling the tip of his jacket making Raden surprised.
"Sister Raden," called out to the weak Devi with a gaze that pointed towards Raden's hand that was holding the syringe.
"Well, are you awake?" asked Raden nervously.
Did Devi know that I would inject this poison into her?
"Son Raden wants to kill me?"
Devi knows!!
"I remember everything" Devi continued, shedding tears.
"What do you remember?" asked Raden coldly.
Raden undoes his intention and keeps the injection in his jacket pocket again. Raden chose to listen to the explanation of his loved ones first and he would think what steps he should take.
"Since the beginning it was my father's fault not my brother's father. Dad ran the illegal business without the knowledge of his family. And about taking Raden's mother's kidney"
Devi held back her sentence. His breathing was choked and his chest felt tight if he had to go back to remembering the incident.
"As for the father who took Raden's mother's kidney, I know."
Raden was shocked to hear Devi's confession. So Devi saw her father do such a barbaric thing?
"Then?"
The flashback
Devi snatched an upset as soon as she arrived home. How not, his personal Saint-driver threatened to tell his father if he fought 'again' today. This is not the first time Devi has fought with her schoolmates and her father also told her if she fights again, her father will not buy Devi ice cream again and so on.
"Just please don't tell Dad!!" annoyed Devi while getting out of the car while running towards her father's workspace first.
He had to meet his father first so that Mr. Santo could not complain about his actions to his father.
But as soon as he arrived in front of his father's study, he stopped. He could see from the gap of the door that was not tightly closed, there was his brother.
Devi who at that time wanted to join them also undo his intentions once he heard Sean's loud snapping on his father.
"Why would you do that?!! Taking a kidney from the wife of a confidant's own father does he think that's right?!!! Where is dad's heart?!!!" wrathful Sean stared intently at Banyu.
"You know what about Dad?!! Stop meddling in my business!" reply Banyu with a gaze that is no less sharp.
"I know everything about Dad! Dad runs a human trafficking business to get his organs, right?!"
Devi immediately closed her mouth using both hands because she was so surprised. So all this time his father had such a terrible business?
"No way!! You thought all this time you enjoyed this luxurious facility money from where?!!! I just want to make my kids happy!!" banyu reply was angry.
"But not by seizing the happiness of others well!!! If all the facilities I get are from my father's ill-gotten money, I don't want to take them. I'm gonna give you back all the money and stuff that you bought for me and Devi. I declare my exit from the Wardhana family."
Devi hurriedly goes into hiding as soon as Sean moves out of his father's study. In his face Sean's back that turned out to be towards his room. Devi followed Sean from behind.
"Sister!" call Devi with a sad face.
Sean turned around and immediately smiled sweetly towards his little sister.
"You're home, why is your face?" sean asked as he touched the wound on Devi's cheek. "You fighting?"
"Where are you going?"
"So I want to study abroad. This is a credit card from my sister. Use this to buy everything you need, don't use dad's money."
"Why?" lirih Devi's.
"It's okay. Dad's money is a little bit so you have to help him. So just use this card and don't spend dad's money. Let's treat your wounds first."
Keeping the secret, Devi follows Sean and lets Sean treat his wounds.
Flashback.
"Son's brother became a prosecutor just because he wanted to teach his father a lesson to stop the business. Brother wanted to imprison father, but before that happened brother Raden's father had managed to kill father and mother."
Raden's hands clenched tightly to Devi's words. So Banyu actually got resistance from his own son because of the business and not until Banyu got his punishment, his father had killed him first.
"I also know that Brama killed my mother. But brother, brother Sean imprisoned my father not because of the death of my father but my mother. Sean didn't sue for my father's death because he knew what crime he had committed to his sister's mother. Even Brother Sean also covered up the case of our father's death from the police and said if our father died by suicide. But one life avenged two lives make brother Sean not accept. Our mother doesn't know about this, she's just a victim. That's why brother imprisoned Raden's father."
Raden gave his rough breath. He looked at Devi with a hard-to-read look. His eyes were watery but as much as Raden could hold them.
"Our two have a complete tripe system. Whoever seeks trouble with our family will be killed until his descendants are gone" Raden told Devi.
Devi looked at Raden with teary eyes. The person he likes now wants to kill him. There was a pain that Devi felt in her heart when she looked into Raden's eyes.
"Then finish your job. Kill me and live happily. I will write a will so that others including Alby think I killed myself. Could you please give me the paper and the pen on the table, brother?"
Raden was silent.
"I lived to suffer as soon as my father was in prison. I'm under siege from my friends and told I'm a murderous son. Do you know?" asked Raden with a trembling tone.
Devi nodded weakly.
"I'm sorry" said Devi.
"Why are you sorry? Do you feel guilty?!" ask Raden quickly.
Devi fell silent.
"I don't have any friends until you come and make me friends."
Devi leaned her head towards Raden and looked at Raden seriously.
"I heard from Arin that you were friends with me because you made them friends with me. It's because I helped you when you fell off the swing. Is true?"
Devi simply nodded her head in response.
"It was the first time I fell in love with a little boy and a whiny like you. I like you but my feelings are hindered by my family's grudge. I was asked to kill you when in my heart I wanted to protect you. It really tormented me" cried Raden. "Sudge my family won't be avenged before you die."
"Ka.kata just do it, brother. I'm fine and I accept everything I've been through all this time even that accidental accident I'll forget it too because I know the root cause was started by my own father," said Devi while squeezing both hands.
"Our family's revenge must end immediately."
Raden brought his face closer to Devi. Devi looked into Raden's eyes intensely as well as Raden. Raden's right hand gently caressed Devi's face.
"But not by killing you" Raden continued.
Devi scrunched her forehead confused by Raden's words.
If not kill me then in what way?
"Be my girlfriend. We end this grudge with our relationship. I love you and we have nothing to do with this vortex of revenge. This grudge should have been over since your father's death. You take it easy my father is not a hard and bad man, he is a good man. I'm sure I can persuade him. Regarding Anggara Inc. I have no problem with it being yours. So how? You want to not be my girlfriend?"
After hearing Devi's reply, Raden kissed Devi's lips gently. Devi just silently accepted it with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Without them both realizing, Alby who was just back then immediately fell silent and stopped his steps as soon as he saw Raden kissing Devi.
There's a pain that's hard to explain that Alby is now feeling. His chest felt tight as he looked at the sight before him.
What kind of feeling is this?!
Alby turned around and closed the door again.
"I had to ask Renata to check on me, my chest felt tight," Alby rushed to see Renata.
*****
What is Alby sick about?
Oh yes, Loey really wants to end this grudge and really wants to see Alby with Devi uwu-uwuan. How is the end of Raden's family's grudge with Devi? Or even his revenge?
