Doctor Alby Pujaan Hati
Alby's Implied Meaning For Laudya

Devi looked at Alby's face which seemed to be peacefully asleep beside her. Alby looked handsome with a couple of children with hair covering his forehead.

Slowly Devi's hands moved to get rid of Alby's haircut and stared at Alby's old face. Devi clearly remembered the incident last night. Alby kisses her and promises not to leave her.

Remembering that makes Devi happy and giggling herself even though there is a small part of her heart that still holds guilt for Alby and his family.

For a second Devi stared at Alby with sadness.

Can he get Alby after Alby's career is destroyed and Alby's father's hospital is threatened with closure?

Without Devi realizing it was Alby had awoken from his sleep and he glanced at Devi who still displayed a sad face while continuing to pretend to sleep.

Alby knows what's in Devi's heart. The girl must have felt guilty again to him and his father. Damnit damnit! It must be because of Laudya.

Alby tightened his embrace on Devi even he also buried his face into Devi's neck making Devi a little surprised but he remained silent and began to hug Alby.

Now Devi feels like she has a spoiled baby who can't sleep without her embrace. But on the other hand Devi really likes it. He just found out the spoiled nature of Alby like this because usually he is the one who is always spoiled for Alby.

"What are you thinking?" alby asked without changing his position or opening his eyes.

Devi who heard Alby's question was a little surprised. Does Alby know if he's still thinking about repercussions if the deal goes off?

"Om Alby is up?" ask Devi lirih.

"Hm."

"Since when?"

"Since you put on your sad facial expression," replied Alby, who made Devi bite her lip as it turned out that Alby noticed a change in the look on her face.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" alby asked, opening his eyes and leaning back on the bed.

"You still feel guilty about the deal?" guess Alby is possessed by Devi.

Alby smiled softly as he brought Devi into his arms.

"I told you it was my fault. This deal has nothing to do with you. I don't know what Laudya said to you but I definitely don't want you to feel guilty to me and dad" Alby said.

"But what if Abi knew that this deal was made because Alby wanted to protect me from Raden's brother and therefore also his hospital threatened to be closed?" ask Devi to feel guilty.

"Dad knows," replied Alby lightly.

"What?"

"Dad knows everything but mom. And again for the matter of closing the hospital is not as simple as Laudya told you. It took some evidence with compelling reasons and a long process. So the closure of my father's hospital won't be done as soon as possible let alone this is just a personal matter for the director with me."

Devi nodded her head understandingly. The next second he directly draped his arm around Alby's neck from the side making Alby slightly lower his body.

"That means I can be with Alby?" ask Devi with a sparkling face.

Alby gave a small laugh before he finally nodded his head in response.

"Then will Alby not be my girlfriend?" ask Devi again.

"Hm...."

Devi was anxiously waiting for Alby's reply who seemed to think hard.

"No way," replied Alby who made Devi release her hand on Alby's neck while pursing her lips in disappointment.

"Don't be disappointed. I rejected you because I was still dating Laudya. Later, later when I no longer have a relationship with Laudya I will meet you and ask you to be my girlfriend," replied Alby who made Devi immediately turned happy.

"I feel like a third person" said Devi, laughing blandly.

"No. From the beginning, it was just the two of us. You're not the third person but you're the only one for me at all times" Alby said, looking at Devi seriously.

Hearing Alby's words made Devi directly hug Alby from the side because she was so happy.

"Om Alby is right. Om Alby right from the beginning never liked aunty Laudya, so I'm not the third person," said Devi as she tightened her arms.

"You're right."

For a few minutes later Devi just drowned in Alby's arms while Alby gently stroked Devi's hair affectionately.

"Om" call Devi.

"Hm?"

"Why didn't Alby tell me about the deal? Om Alby also didn't tell me if Alby got sanctioned from the hospital because of Ganendra's father's case. Om Alby didn't tell me that for sure because he thought I was a kid, right? I know I'm still a high school girl, so sometimes I think Aunt Laudya is more appropriate for Alby. Aunt Laudya is mature, smart and beautiful unlike me who is a child, stupid and not beautiful," said Devi while lowering her head to make Alby smile faintly.

"Why do you think that? I didn't tell you because I thought of you as a child. I purposely didn't tell you because I didn't want to burden you and make things difficult for you. I don't want you to worry about me. This issue is not about the problem you are still a child or not but this problem is purely my own problem and you are too valuable to share my problem" said Alby softly.

"But at least Alby can tell me so that the burden is slightly reduced" said Devi.

"Well, from now on I'll tell you if I have any problems. How's it?"

"Not only if there is a problem! All of them! I want Alby to tell me everything whether it's happy news or whatever!"

"All right, everyone" Alby chuckled.

"That's right" said Devi, smiling at Alby.

"Then you have to promise me too."

"You should do the same. Whether it's happy news or bad news, I want you to always share it with me. I don't want you to bear it all alone. You'll have me. When you fall I'm the first one to help you stand up" said Alby sincerely, leading Devi to look at Alby with teary eyes.

Alby who saw the puddles of tears in both eyes Devi was slightly jolted before Devi finally hugged him again while crying loudly.

"What's wrong?" ask Alby to worry.

"I was very touched by the words of Alby," Devi's great-grandson in between her tears.

Alby who heard it also smiled broadly while stroking the top of Devi's head fondly.

Ting!

Hearing the notification sound from Alby's phone, Devi releases her arms and lets Alby see the message that just entered her phone.

"There's a message" said Devi.

Alby opens a message that turns out to be from Laudya.

"Who's om?"

"Laudya," replied Alby briefly.

"What happened to Aunt Laudya?"

"Laudya wants to talk to me. Can I not see him?" permit Alby.

"Then go om. I also have to go to Arin and Gara to get ready to go home" Devi replied with a smile.

"After you're done get ready wait for me. You come home with me" said Alby, who was embraced by Devi.

*****

Alby saw Laudya who was standing on the beach with a knee-length dress with floral motifs. Laudya seemed to occasionally play the white sand of the beach using his feet until accidentally when he turned around he realized Alby was standing behind him.

"Have you come?" laudya asked with a big smile.

Alby was forced to respond with a gentle smile. He is unlikely to show his displeased expression in front of Laudya directly because Alby does not want Laudya to know that Alby has learned all of Laudya's secrets through the spy he sent.

"What's wrong? Why come here? The sky is cloudy, it is soon raining. Let's go back to the hotel before it rains" Alby took with him while pulling Laudya's hand but Laudya remained silent.

"What's wrong?" alby asked as soon as Laudya remained standing in place.

"Just a second. I want to walk alone by the beach with you" Laudya said, pulling Alby's hand to follow her footsteps.

"But soon it will rain" Alby said as he followed Laudya's footsteps.

"No problem, we can play rain."

"Rain water can cause all sorts"

"Alby," call Laudya cut off Alby's words.

"Hm?"

"I just want to walk alone with you on the beach like we are lovers. You're my girlfriend, right?"

Alby silently refused to answer Laudya's question.

"To this day please be a real lover for me. I just want to walk alone no more," said Laudya who made Alby want to not obey his wishes.

They walk along the coastline as Laudya embraces Alby's arm. Several times Laudya pointed towards the sea while telling about his experience on vacation to the beach with his family.

Alby responded occasionally and laughed at her.

Without Alby noticing, Devi sees the two from a distance. The look of jealousy on Devi's beautiful face was so close to Alby and Laudya. Without wanting to see any longer the intimacy of the two, Devi chooses to immediately return to the hotel to meet Arin and Gara.

"What's that?" laudya asked as she let go of Alby's arm and ran small towards the water.

Laudya who was curious was about to take the sea animal using his bare hands which was immediately prevented by Alby.

"That's a piglet, don't touch it. He's poisonous" Alby said, stopping Laudya's hand from touching him.

"Ah almost, thank you," said Laudya.

"Don't touch carelessly when you don't know what dangers lie before you" advised Alby who inexplicably felt there was meaning implied in Laudya.

"It could be that he's more dangerous than you," continued Alby who now makes Laudya know what the meaning implied in Alby's speech.

"From my advice don't you look more like you're threatening me, Alby?" laudya asked as she raised her eyebrows.

"Why? Do you feel like I'm threatening you? On what basis do you think of me like that?" reply Alby.

Hearing Alby's question makes Laudya flutter herself. Could it be that Alby knew he was working with Bima to eliminate Devi?

"none. Forget it, let's go there! I want to take a picture on that rock!" invite Laudya to switch the conversation.

"So you actually met Bima and worked with her huh?" batin Alby while sharing his smirk.
