Devi sat in front of the fish pond behind Alby's house. Alby did not return after driving Laudya to the hospital due to a fall from the horse he was riding.
After seeing Laudya fall down, Alby did not say a single word to her and immediately rushed to hold Laudya and took her away to the hospital leaving herself alone still riding a horse. Even Devi had to yell at Asep first to help him get off.
Alby would have scolded him as soon as he got home. But Devi did not feel afraid at all because of course he was not wrong, it was his fault Laudya himself was not himself.
The thing that made Devi think now was the words Abhimanyu said this morning that he had accidentally heard. It seemed that Abhimanyu was more inclined towards Laudya than he was. But that's not a problem for Devi, what's the problem now is what if they find out that Devi doesn't actually have PTSD? Didn't it make Abhimanyu even less fond of him and bless his relationship with Alby?? Uh wait a minute! What relationship, if only Alby was currently dating Laudya not himself.
So actually the main character of the love drama clapping one hand itself is me?
The proof is that Alby chose to date aunty Laudya rather than me. Maybe if Alby also had the same feelings as me I could have overcome Abhimanyu who did not approve of us, but the problem is that Alby did not like me as a woman. Om Alby just thinks of me as his own sister who is suffering from PTSD. So how can I fight alone?
"Devs."
Devi turned her head towards the source of the sound. There is Ishwari who is smiling gently at him.
"What meda? Why don't you go inside? It'll be raining soon, come on in" Ishwari asked as he walked closer to Devi.
"Auntie soon. Aunt Ishy come in first I'll catch up," declined Devi gently.
"What's wrong?" ishwari asked attention as soon as he saw the appearance of Devi's face that was not serial usually.
"Nothing, just wanting to see the fish" Devi lied, pointing at a large white koi.
Ishwari smiled as she gently stroked Devi's hair.
"Does this have anything to do with Laudya?" ishwari asked which made Devi turn her head towards him.
"Nothing" Devi replied honestly but it seemed Ishwari did not believe her words.
"The accident this morning was not your fault, you were not accidentally," Ishwari said, making Devi frown confused. What happened accidentally?!!
"Wait a minute, aunt. Did aunt Laudya say the same aunt?"
"Not to me, but to your om and Alby. Laudya says you haven't been so able to control a horse that you pulled your harness so hard. At that time Laudya tried to stop you and even the reins of his horse were tight once he tried to save you," Ishwari said, leaving Devi speechless. Laudya really is a great storyteller!!
"What kind of empty muzzle is this?! Aunt Laudya didn't save me but she wanted to harm me aunty! It wasn't me who wanted to pull my horse rope, it was him! I've never controlled a horse before but I know a little about what Aunt Laudya wants me to do. Aunt Laudya wanted to harm me, she tried to get her horse closer to me and tried to snatch my horse's harness. I who understand his actions immediately avoid until in the end he himself hit the sap. In this case purely because of his own actions not because he wants to save me," explained Devi at length while holding back his emotions.
"Is it really like that?" ask someone who made Devi turn her back to look at Alby and also Abhimanyu who just arrived.
"I tell you the truth, if you don't believe me, just ask Asep. I even asked Asep to let go of my horse's harness because I didn't want Asep to go to any harm because of Aunt Laudya."
"How can I trust you if you dare to lie to me" Alby sighed sharply.
"I'm not lying! I could swear. Then let's just call Asep over here let him-"
"No need," cut Alby firmly.
Devi fell silent. Highlight his eyes looking straight at Alby who was now staring intently at him. All this time Devi saw Alby's face this angry.
Alby hints to his parents to leave them alone and it immediately gets a response from Abhimanyu and Ishwari who rush into the house.
Alby walked closer to Devi, who was sitting by the pool. Without Devi expecting it, Alby gripped Devi's arm and forced her to stand up. Not too strong, but Alby's energy is enough to make him voluntarily stand facing Alby.
"Is there nothing else you want to say to me?" hiss Alby.
"No. Why would I explain everything to Alby if Alby doesn't believe me and calls me a liar?! It is better if Alby just ask Asep there let Alby know the truth how. Asep is not a liar like me," said Devi while emphasizing the word 'liar' to satirize Alby's words.
"I've asked Gara," replied Alby who made Devi frown in confusion.
Why Gara?
"And now I want to ask you a question" said Alby who inexplicably made Devi a little afraid.
"You lied to me if you had PTSD, right?"
The deg!!
Alby knows?!!
Seeing Devi shocked made Alby convinced by Laudya's words. While in the hospital this morning Laudya told him if first when he wanted to visit Devi, he overhears Arin and Gara talking about Devi pretending to have PTSD in order to get Alby's full attention. But of course Laudya did not tell Devi's purpose to Alby. And the problem he asked Gara was actually just a trick of Alby to lure the truth from Devi because basically Alby had not contacted Gara.
"Om Alby what's this talking about?!!" devi asked with a trembling tone.
"What is your purpose in lying to me like that?" ask Alby in a low tone. "You want to fool me? Want to belittle me who's a doctor but stupid in distinguishing which PTSD sufferers are real and which are lies?"
"No! It's not like that, um," said Devi while trying to release Alby's checks on his arm.
"Then what?!! You know not how guilty I feel every time I see you suffering, scared and hurt huh?!! My guilt for Sean even reached the limit of my chest once I heard you had PTSD. But now I'm relieved that the guilt is gone, not left because it turns out it's all just your wits. Is it fun to play me?"
Devi fell silent. Should he tell Alby the truth? Isn't that the same as she expressed her feelings for Alby?
"of course. Sean trusts me and of course I have to do it right!" reply Alby.
"If it wasn't for Sean's brother, Alby would have dumped me long ago" Devi said.
"You're misunderstanding" Alby said, denying Devi's allegations. "Now that's not the point! I asked why you lied to me!"
"Because I like you, um" Devi replied quickly.
"What?"
"I like you but I lie to you. I was afraid of losing Alby's attention as soon as I heard Alby was dating Laudya's aunt. I lied to you so that Alby would always be attentive to me and be close to me, that's all. I have no other intentions like belittling Alby or fooling Alby. All of that is purely because I like Alby," continued Devi who made Alby immediately release the check on Devi's arm.
"Stop lying! The person you like is Raden not me!!!"
"I'm not lying. I do like Raden's brother but my tribe's taste is nothing more than my love for Alby."
Hearing Devi's confession there is a small part in Alby's heart who is happy to hear it but Alby realizes he has been dating Laudya and even Alby has made a deal on the director to marry Laudya. His feelings for Devi and vice versa were a huge one! They shouldn't have kept each other feeling that way.
"Quick in just a moment the rain fell," said Alby passed leaving Devi without replying to Devi's expression of feelings.
Once on the doorstep, Alby stopped his steps but without intention turned to face Devi who was now looking at him.
"Your lies about PTSD I'm not going to tell my mom and dad, but I hope you're aware of your mistakes. And as for how you feel, I'd rather you go back with Raden."
Crash!!!! Glarrr!!!
Heavy rain directly descended the earth at that very instant. Even Devi also contributed to be the target of rainwater which is now falling increasingly heavy with lightning and thunder that is earthy.
Alby was still at the door but he did not warn Devi to enter the house immediately and even now Alby has walked into the house leaving Devi alone in the rain.
"Non!! Non Devi why is it raining like this? Let's hurry in and take a warm bath so as not to have a fever" cried Asep who was surprised to see Devi soaked.
Asep immediately ran towards Devi with an umbrella and immediately shaded Devi's wet body.
"Sep" said Devi.
"Let's go in first, the wind is starting to be strong non," Asep asked while pulling Devi's hand gently.
"Sep," called Devi while holding Asep's hand.
"What's non? Why is it that non Devi is crying?" asep panicked as soon as he saw Devi sobbing quietly.
"Crying what? It's rain water," elak Devi.
"Gram!!"
"Be careful non, non-legs will still hurt because of sprained," Asep said as he rubbed Devi.
"This is because I'm calling you not to come - so I jumped down myself from the horse!" namel Devi wiped away her tears.
"Yes forgive me. Let's go in let me compress her leg" Asep said.
"Sep," call Devi.
"Yes, non."
"His wound in his leg hurts in huaaaaa's heart," Devi's roar that made Asep instantly panic.
"What's the non-heart?!!"
"Break," Devi replied.
"Huh?"
"Tomorrow you'll have to drive me to the city!"
"City?"
"I have to hold Gara accountable!"
