Due to bad weather, rain and strong winds, Devi and her friends are unable to return home. Plus the road that was closed due to landslides also forced them to stay at one of the inns located not far from the beach where they were on vacation.
No exception Alby himself who was also forced to live with them.
Now they were in one of the inns to book a room to rest.
"Good afternoon, how can I help you?" welcome the receptionist kindly.
"Sore, I want to book a room" Alby seemed to count how many suitable rooms he booked for all of them.
"I can one room with brother Raden om," said Gara.
"I can also be with Devi" said Arin.
Alby nodded his head in understanding.
Laudya thought that if Alby would only book three rooms in other words he would be in one room with Alby, but he was wrong.
"I ordered four rooms" said Alby, who made Laudya look disappointed.
"Well, wait a minute."
Not long after, the receptionist gave them the keys to each room.
"You guys clean up first and then we gather at the restaurant for dinner" Alby said.
"OKe om. First yes om," said Gara who was followed by Raden.
"I'm first doc."
"Come on Dev," Arin pulled Devi's hand slowly.
Alby watched Devi for a moment. The girl looked uninspired and just a silent daydreaming made Alby worry about her a little.
"By come on," Laudya invited, who made Alby immediately turn his attention to Laudya.

Devi was unable to focus on the food in front of her because her stomach hurt so much. This afternoon as soon as he was about to take a shower he felt something was coming out of his sensitive area it turned out that he had his first day of menstruation. Unlike the first time he had a period that did not feel pain at all, now Devi felt her stomach hurt.
Devi tried to endure her pain and acted as if nothing had happened. But Alby, whose seat position is right in front of Devi, began to realize there was something strange with Devi. The girl seemed to put down her spoon once and her hands seemed to be stroking her stomach.
Not until Alby wants to ask if Devi is okay, Raden has already realized Devi's condition.
"Dev you okay?" asked Raden who was sitting right next to Devi.
"No brother, I came by the moon and my stomach hurt so much" whispered Devi in pain.
"Then let's take a break in the room" Raden said, rising from his seat.
Alby never took his eyes off Devi. Including when Devi whispered in Raden's ear made Alby a little upset. Seeing Devi who looked in pain made Alby remember something. Suddenly his phone rang displaying a reminder message. He immediately reached into his phone and saw a note he wrote a month ago.
'Devi's Red day'
"Let me alone" said Alby got up from his seat and walked over to Devi who was still sitting.
Devi was actually about to refuse but the pain she felt made her undo her intentions as soon as Alby directly carried her with bridal style. On the other hand Devi is also still a little afraid if Raden has the intention to harm him again let alone the state of his stomach that hurts is not easier for Raden to kill him.
Gara and Arin looked at each other. Seeing the look on the faces of Laudya and Raden who looked annoyed made both of them uncomfortable.
"Aunty try this deh it feels -" Not finished Arin finished his sentence, Laudya had already risen to leave the restaurant.
Not much different from Laudya, Raden also immediately decided to rise from his seat intending to leave the restaurant.
"I'll go first you guys just eat. I have to buy a warm water compress for Devi" said Raden.
There are only Arin and Gara left. Gara looked at Arin deeply before a question came out of her mouth.
"By the way, all this food is paid for, right?"

Instead of taking Devi to her room, Alby took Devi to her room. Even Devi herself did not pay much attention if she was taken to Alby's room instead of hers. There is no specific reason why Alby did so other than because Alby had prepared all Devi's needs when the girl experienced coming months.
Yes, since Devi experienced coming months for the first time Alby had little idea what to prepare if a girl was having coming months. Even Alby also accidentally recorded the date Devi came to the moon just in case Devi did not bring the 'stuff' she needed. A girl like Devi cares about it. In addition, Alby does it to monitor Devi's menstrual cycle so that she knows whether there are things to worry about or not. If there's anything strange Alby will ask Devi to do an examination. Alby just didn't want Devi to get sick, that's all.
As soon as he arrived, Alby immediately put Devi in his bed. Once lowered, Devi immediately slept curled up with her hands pressing against her stomach firmly.
Alby immediately got up and opened the small bag he was carrying to pick up the instant warm water compress he was carrying.
Alby immediately bent the coins that were inside. After feeling warm, Alby walked closer to Devi.
"Compress your stomach first," said Alby softly while handing the compress to Devi.
Devi instantly accepted it and immediately placed it right on her stomach.
"Is it really painful?" alby asked worriedly as he touched Devi's sleeping shoulder curled up behind him.
"Yes" said Devi.
"Then you just go to sleep so that the pain is reduced," said Alby softly while stroking Devi's hair gently.
"Yes, now that Alby's back I'm okay. Kasian aunt Laudya must be waiting for Alby," said Devi with her eyes closed feeling pain.
"I'll keep you company" Alby refused gently.
"Where will Arin sleep?"
"In his room" replied Alby.
"Om this room-" Devi instantly got up and faced towards Alby.
"Yes in my room" said Alby as he put Devi back to sleep. "Sleep, doesn't your stomach still hurt?"
"But what if Arin's looking for me? Earlier this morning Arin also had a stomach ache, what if Arin's stomach also hurts?"
"Don't worry about other people, you have to worry about yourself first. Now lie down properly" Alby ordered.
"can't. More comfortable sleeping curled up and pressing on the stomach like this."
"Alright, then go to sleep quickly," said Alby gently as he lifted the blanket covering Devi's body to the chest.
"Om" call Devi.
"Hm?"
"My knees and back are hurting" Devi said.
"Sleep, I'll massage him" Alby said as he massaged Devi's back.
Devi closed her eyes and a short time later a soft snoring rang out in Alby's ears. Alby improved Devi's sleeping position to lie down comfortably, not to forget also Alby placed his stomach compress right in Devi's stomach a little below.
Alby looked at Devi's face with a faint smile. The more he tried to let go of Devi and chose with Laudya, the more difficult it was for him to hold back the feeling in his heart.
He could not love Laudya. His relationship with Laudya was only limited because of the stupid deal he made then and now Alby regrets it. For his good attitude towards Laudya he merely did to buy time until his father found a way to make his own hospital stand alone so that if he wanted to end this deal the hospital belonged to his father won't hit it.
Drt....
Alby's phone rang. Alby immediately stood up and slightly moved away from Devi so that his sleep was not disturbed.
"How's it?" ask Alby slowly.
"I have important information, sir. Miss Laudya's mother's accident was a deliberate one. Miss Laudya herself who killed him for being tired of his mother's dictatorial attitude and the cheating party was her own father-Sena."
"So that's a lie, huh? Laudya says he was unintentional but the truth is the opposite. Do you have any evidence?"
"I've sent to your personal email sir. But there's one more piece of information that matters, sir."
"What's that?"
"Miss Laudya met Bima a few days ago."
"Male?"
"Yes sir. He's Raden's uncle."
Alby surprised.
Why did Laudya meet Bima?
"Do you know why Laudya met Bima?"
"I have not confirmed it yet, sir."
"Quick find out and keep an eye on Laudya and Bima!" alby's orders were firm.
"Good sir."
Alby rubbed his face rough. What does Laudya have to do with Bima? Where do they know them from?
Geck! Geck!
Alby looked at the door. With wide strides he immediately walked to open the door before the knock of the door woke up Devi's deep sleep.
"Who?" alby asked as soon as he opened the door. "It turns out you. What's up?" alby continued while staring at Raden flat.
"I was looking for Devi in her room but she wasn't there and it turns out that doctor Alby took her to your own room" Raden said with a cold look.
"Devi's asleep, don't be noisy and quickly go back to your room." Alby intends to close the door but Raden immediately hold the door making Alby look at Raden with an unhappy look.
"Doctor Alby knows right the line between brother and sister that shouldn't be broken?" asked Raden looking at Alby.
"Example?"
"Without being told, Dr. Alby must have been smart enough to digest what I meant."
"Oh well I understand. But you forgot one thing." Alby brought his lips closer to Raden's. "Me and Devi aren't siblings, so do you think we have any restrictions?"
After saying that, Alby snickered his smirk and put away Raden's loyal hand holding the door of his room.
"Go to bed soon. Sleeping less than eight hours can cause stupidity" Alby said as he closed the door to his room leaving Raden, who is now trying to contain his anger.
Raden squeezed his bag of warm water compresses to channel his anger.
"I think we're in the same position" said Laudya, who had just arrived.
Raden looked at Laudya without interest.
"If I were to offer you a partnership, would you accept it?" ask Laudya while ignoring her smirk.
Without answering Laudya's question, Raden instead brought himself closer to Laudya while touching Laudya's forehead with his palm making Laudya frown in confusion.
"Tante Laudya must be sick, better aunt Laudya go to sleep, said doctor Alby sleeping less than eight hours can cause stupidity."
After saying that, Raden immediately left while laughing at Laudya who looked angry at his words.
