The car, which was originally heading home to my parents' house, turned back towards Alexa's house. It didn't take long, Stevani had arrived in front of the yard of this white-painted house with this simplicity, well, Alexa's house was like a dream house for me. It looks very calm with small trees growing beautifully around it. Luckily Alexa was at home, she smiled and gave me a warm hug when I arrived.

"Stevani, it's cool for you to visit my house directly, usually we call and make arrangements outside." She said with a smile, but Alexa's smile suddenly faded when she saw the sad expression on my face.

"Stevani, what's wrong with you darling?"

“Devan and Bella. They both have betrayed me hu...hu..." I couldn't hide my feelings any longer, my tears spilled into Alexa's arms.

"That's it... that's it, Steve, calm down, okay?" He pulled me to sit on a chair in his beautiful garden.

"I hate Devan, even though soon you will get married hu...hu..."

"Cry Stevani, express your sadness, after that you will be relieved and strong again. Remember, as your true friend, I will always be there for you. Stefani."

I cried for a long time, until the tightness in my chest began to decrease.

"Drink first, if you're not ready to talk, that's okay, but if you're calm, I'm ready to hear whatever your problem is, Stevani."

I smiled when I heard the words of my friend Alexa, who I can always rely on in good times and bad. I drank half the water in the mineral drink bottle she gave me. then forced to smile again.

"How do you feel now?"

"It's getting a bit better Alexa."

Stevani talked again about his sadness, he even felt very stupid. because Devan had managed to lie to him all this time.

"This is really crazy, Devan has gone too far Stevani, why do you have to shed your precious tears for traitorous men and women like Bella?" Alexa said squeezing her fingers in annoyance.

"I'm embarrassed Xa, even though our wedding is only a few months away, what will people say later."

Stevani cried again, Alexa shook her head, not sure what her friend was saying. Devan and Bella look so good, but it's all just a cover to cover up the illicit relationship between the two of them, who have been having a secret relationship behind the innocent Stevani's back.

"Okay, I understand now, your problem, it's better for you to know the reality now, than for you to already be married to a philandering man like Devan, and of course it will be more painful than what is happening now," explained Alexa, looking concerned at her friend. .

"That's why I chose to run away to your house, I couldn't hold it myself Xa. Can I stay here for a while, I don't want to go home, because Devan will definitely still be looking for me now?"

"Yes, I'm really happy to hear that."

"Stevaniiii..." Alexa said, suddenly so excited that Stevani's originally loud crying suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter with shouting, just startling me, luckily my heart didn't stop because there were so many surprises that shocked me today." Stevani replied covering her ears.

"What if you vent your disappointment and sadness by going on holiday?" Alexa said enthusiastically.

"Okay, but where?" Stevani frowned.

“Casino De Larose. "A luxurious and classy villa located in a very beautiful hill, that's the peak of the De Larose hills, and not just anyone can afford to go to that place," Alexa answered proudly.

“Casino De Larose. That luxury villa located on a hill surrounded by forest, right?"

"Not a forest, but very beautiful hills, not just anyone can afford to go to that place, apart from the high cost of course." Alexa answered.

“What? maybe people are afraid of that place. Don't you have an idea for a holiday somewhere else? which might be much more interesting."

"The places we've visited so far are too ordinary. This time we should try a vacation to a different place, one that can test our adrenaline. I think Ziko will definitely agree with us taking him there."

Alexa took her cellphone, tried to contact Ziko, walked back and forth while waiting for her call to connect with the man.

Alexa looked very serious in chatting when their call was connected, while occasionally laughing out loud, not long after their call was disconnected, Alexa walked back towards Stevani with a smile that continued to grow at the corners of her lips.

"Stevani... this is good news, it turns out that Ziko can help us, he is willing to join us on a free holiday at the villa and can stay there for three days." Alexa said with her eyes sparkling with happiness.

"Okay, I agree, when shall we leave?" answered Stevani, who had no other choice with his friend's offer.

"Tomorrow morning."

"What? Why does everything feel so sudden to me.” Stevani rubbed her head which suddenly felt dizzy. remembering so many events that happened to him today.
