Nayla sees Sandy coming out of the bathroom. His face looked fresher, wearing his casual white T-shirt and long pants, looking different from the official clothes he usually wears. There was still water dripping from her hair.
"A dry her hair with a small towel there" pointed Nayla at the paper bag Zein was carrying.
Sandy approaches Nayla standing by the side of the bed, where she catches her head after drying her hair as Nayla ordered.
"La, just call me Hans" he said, sitting on the bench next to Nayla's bed.
Nayla who heard that immediately looked at Sandy looking at what caused this man who was by her side to ask like that. It's very rude of him to just call Sandy's name while they're quite different ages. Sandy realizes that Nayla is looking at her and asks for an explanation from her.
"I'm just comfortable you call me Hans like you used to" Sandy explained to Nayla.
"But it's very rude to hear someone else" Nayla replied to Sandy to think about it again.
"It doesn't matter to me as long as it makes me comfortable" he replied.
"You're jealous of Hans?" ask Nayla.
"Jealous?" Sandy asked back.
"He was jealous, jealous of Bob, jealous I called him B"
"Therefore you don't want me to call you A anymore" Nayla answered explaining her guess.
Sandy just kept quiet about what Nayla said. Looking at the silent Sandy Nayla was very sure what she said was true.
"I'm right Hans" Nayla said with a winning smile.
Nayla brought her face closer to Sandy and kissed the man's cheek. Sandy was surprised, not expecting Nayla to dare to do it, even though she had done this when they were little.
"Bob's my friend, just a friend" Nayla assured Sandy.
"Hemmm, I know" Sandy replied.
"Then what are you talking about?"
"What's that about Devi?"
Nayla asked as she got off her bed walking to the sofa. Just sitting and sleeping in bed bored him. Fortunately, the infusion in her hand this afternoon was released when Mery helped her clean up and change clothes, so she was free to move.
Sandy caught up with Nayla and sat down next to her. Tidying up Nayla's hair that looks messy with her finger comb.
"Why are you sure Bob is talking about Devi" Sandy asked as she continued to comb Nayla's hair.
"Because I know what Bob looks like and what Devi looks like" Nayla replied.
"La, you know Bob so well, why...?"
"I know and understand him because I am with him often. I will also know and understand your habit if I am with you often Hans" Nayla said.
"Only can I give her love" Nayla said.
"You love me La?" ask Sandy, because since Nayla accepted it until now never told her love for Sandy.
Sandy brought her face closer to Nayla, looking at those clear brown eyes, trying to find answers. They were still staring at each other. Nayla who was nervous felt her heart thump. Just like Nayla, Sandy felt her heart beating in a disordered manner, trying to resist her desire to enjoy the thin lips before her.
"What are you talking about?" nayla asked, taking her eyes off Sandy, which made the man move away from Nayla.
Sandy stood up to get some water and gave it to Nayla. Sandy and Nayla both spent the rest of the pot, not thirsty but equally wanting to neutralize their heartbeats.
Now they both look better. Sandy recounts what Bob told her that Devi was not besieged and was only made a pawn. Sandy shows the evidence Bob gave Nayla.
Nayla looks at the CCTV footage Bob gave her and reads the message Devi received.
"What are you going to do, Hans?"
"I'm going to ask you for your mom and dad's opinion, because it's not just about us but also about the company" Sandy replied.
"I'll also find out Devi's cousin hit you" Sandy said.
Sandy also tells Nayla that she thought Issabel did it, because the night of Reyhan and Shinta's wedding, Issabel showed Nayla the details.
But it was unthinkable for Sandy that this matter was her company's problem that would be seized by people she didn't know at all.
"I've seen Issabel and Devi walk together" said Nayla who immediately got Sandy's gaze.
Sandy immediately picks up her cell phone and contacts Alex wanting to ask about the results of Alex's investigation of Issabel.
"Hans, tomorrow morning let me go home with Zein and Mery, you don't have to take me" Nayla said after seeing Sandy finish talking to Alex and hang up.
"You need to solve this problem quickly, Hans, if...." Nayla stopped her words.
"If what?" ask Sandy.
"If you want to propose to me immediately" Nayla seduced while playing her eyebrows made Sandy anxious and kissed Nayla's head repeatedly.
Elsewhere Devi was in the God's residence. Earlier this afternoon, Deva invited Devi back to her residence after Devi said that she did not want to go home to her parents.
Now that they were having dinner together, there were only the two of them who enjoyed the fine dining served by the servants working in the God residence. The god had been living alone for a long time since his parents had moved to another city.
"Wa I'm afraid" said Devi, who is now in the family room with God.
"Who was your cousin who hit Nayla?" asked God without taking his eyes off the television show he was watching.
"Issabel" Devi replied quickly.
"Issable?" asked the God who immediately turned his eyes to Devi, he did not believe what he heard.
"You sure?" The god asked to convince her and got a nod from Devi.
"What profit did he get until he wanted to do it?" asked the returning God to turn his eyes to the television.
"Married to Sandy" replied Devi slowly.
"Married?" God repeats Devi's statement.
"Yes, Issabel had loved Sandy for a long time, when they were SMU, but Sandy never showed any concern for Issabel"
"Sandy's attitude towards Issabel made Issabel become obsessed with Sandy. In fact, he told everyone that he was Sandy's lover" Devi told the Gods.
"Then Sandy's attitude to Issabel?" ask the God who wants to know the truth.
"Sandy never refuted anything that Issabel did like leaving it alone so that people who did not know him convinced what Issabel said was true until the end...." Devi stopped her words.
"What's last?" asked the curious God, he had not paid attention to the television show that he had just watched.
"After Sandy returned home from her education abroad, Sandy was close to someone who was in school with Sandy and Issabel. Sandy's closeness to the woman makes Issabel angry and she..." Devi was silent again. This is his family's secret that has been kept until now without any outside knowledge.
The increasingly curious god continues to wait for the continuation of the story Devi.
"Forward" said the Lord.
"It's my family's secret Wa" Devi replied.
"Don't you want this to end?" ask God.
"Then just tell me so I can help you" he continued.
Devi fell silent, she was still considering the words of the Gods.
"If you don't want to tell me it's okay, but don't blame me if I can't help you out of this" God said slightly threateningly.
"Issabel killed the woman" said Devi, who made God even more surprised by what he heard, unexpectedly an Issabel whom he knew as cruel.
"Issabell made the woman as if she was in an accident, there was no clue to her, for it was not found to be intentional or premeditated murder"
God and Devi were both silent, the atmosphere was instantly quiet there was only the sound of the television still burning.
"I'm grateful that Nayla is safe and well" Devi said, before God had told her about Nayla's condition.
"Yes, I'm also grateful" God replied.
"Then what should I do now Wa?" ask Devi again.
"We finish tomorrow, now you rest and sleep in your room" replied the God as he stood walking up the stairs and entered his room.
