My Boyfriend Is An Alien
Episode 55: Tonight Doesn't Want Me Alone

Alma POVs

Akio is now in his own room, as well as me, the clock shows at 8 pm, it feels like the night has become so long, especially last day I have slept so long, I have slept so much, so tonight might be hard to sleep.

I sent a message to Akio to open the door of his room, so that I could easily enter his room.

Akio immediately replied by saying that he had unlocked his room.

I opened my door and peeked out, the atmosphere of the hotel hall seemed quiet, I went out and closed my door, not forgetting my keys, I intended to sleep in Akio's room tonight.

" Where are these nights going?", the voice of a young man who had just walked out of the next room shocked me.

" I.", I tried to think quickly to find the right reason.

" I want to go to the minimarket, I have something to buy", I said, it's just an excuse, it's not funny if I say I want to go to Akio's room.

" Can I accompany?, this is enough night, the lighting to the minimarket is also not too bright, so if you don't mind let me accompany".

" Oh yes, introduce my name Banu Mahardika, I am from Bandung, we are a team, happy to get acquainted with a girl as beautiful and as smart as you", even the young man invited to get acquainted, he said, what a moment I really didn't want. At the beginning of the introductions he was already too much.

" I'm Alma, but I'm sorry I can go alone, I'm used to being alone", I should have gone to Akio's room, but why now I have to go to the minimarket because of the lies I've done.

I sent a message to Akio

~ Get out quickly, I need help ~

And Akio immediately opened the door of his room, looked at me with a smile, and as I pointed out Banu's whereabouts with a glance in my eyes, Akio looked at him with a gaze full of anger. I knew he must be very angry that there was another man approaching me. I also know, Akio can definitely immediately know what Banu's goal is, because he can read the contents of his mind and heart.

" Where are you going Al?, I'm going to the minimarket, do you need anything? let me buy you guys".

Akio had already read my mind first, and knew where I was going at the moment.

" Sure, I'll just leave it with you, please buy me some snacks and some bread, I usually go hungry at night".

" If you've bought just put it in front of the door, then just knock on the door of my room, I'll take it as soon as possible".

I went back into the room too.

" Not so to the minimarket, I go inside first yes", I said while staring at Banu.

And after I entered, Akio walked past Banu who was staring fiercely at Akio. I closed it and locked the door to my room. At that time Banu was still standing in front of the room.

A few minutes later, about 30 minutes Akio had returned, and knocked on the door according to my message earlier, but he could just go straight into the room, because the door of the room I accidentally did not lock. I have also told that to Akio through a short message

And the answer to my suspicions turned out to be correct, when I opened the door of the room I saw Akio carrying a grocery bag, Akio actually spent me a snack and bread.

But the plan to sleep together with Akio tonight might fail, there are only obstacles that suddenly appear. Because it didn't get there. When Akio knocked on my door and I wished he could enter my room, it turned out that Akio was standing in front of the room holding out the grocery bag he was carrying.

Long story short, it turns out that when in the minimarket Akio met with Lydia and currently Lydia was standing in front of my room while carrying a full-filled grocery bag.

" If I had known you were going to the minimarket, I would have taken it with me" Lidia smiled broadly and pretently. I grimaced, forcing myself to smile.

" So Akio said he wanted to go to the minimarket as well, so I dropped all of them".

" It's been the night I slept first huh, thanks Akio".

" Good night everyone", I greeted them and closed the door, of course I wasn't really going to sleep, because right now my eyes weren't feeling sleepy at all.

POV Author

Alma lay down on the bed, staring at the bag bearing the name of a minimarket that contained a lot of snacks and bread. He lied a lot today. Because actually Alma never suddenly woke up at night because of hunger, and ate bread or snack as he said earlier on Banu.

Whatever the power, he who is not accustomed to lying his brain becomes dead-end when he has to find an excuse and is forced to lie so that Banu does not know what is being done by him.

And it turns out that in the other room, Akio also thought of a way so that he could get out and go straight into Alma's room without being picked up by the other room neighbors.

Akio also chatted through video call.

" Are you sleepy?", Akio looked at Alma who was lying on his bed while shaking his head.

" I slept too long this afternoon, so I didn't feel sleepy at all".

" I'm gonna unlock my bedroom door, and you can come in here, but look at the situation and circumstances around ya".

" Let no one see".

Akio ended the conversation with Alma and opened the door. When peering out the hallway the hotel looks lonely. Akio went out, locked the door of his room and went into Alma's room. But again as before, Banu came out of his room. Akio immediately pretended to walk and headed out of the hotel.

While walking Akio sent a message to Alma.

~ Now that I am outside the hotel, the man who occupies next door to your room is like a security guard who suddenly appears every time I want to enter your room, wait a few more moments, wait a few more, maybe I'll get into your room when they're all sleeping~

Alma could only shake her head, feeling funny, but also furious at her own current state.

While waiting for Akio to come to his room Alma also listened to songs from his cellphone. To eliminate saturation and also for what he is feeling right now.

The song that was often played by his mother when his father's tape recorder has not been damaged.
