Behind the Rain and Memories

46. Adinda's Return

Max pinched his temple slowly, his head suddenly dizzy with all the hassles that came at once. The man did not understand the destiny he was living with all of a sudden were all interconnected.

Bryan's problems have drained his energy, coupled with Orion's affairs that make him unable to not interfere, Alina who does not want to stop working, and the, now coupled with the sudden return of Adinda.

" Dinda wants to give birth in Indonesia aja kak, if in Singapore quiet, there is nothing nemanin, " said the woman cheerful.

" Where is your husband?" asked Max probing mingled furiously, could-can the jerk let his sister who was pregnant old home alone. Although with a private jet, Adinda's condition is already approaching the day of birth is very dangerous if she travels. Even if it's just a short flight.

Max is increasingly confused, whether what is really he is worried about the safety of Adinda or Bryan's presence later.

" There's still work, brother, in two days' time he's here, at most,"

" Your husband does not care, if you and your baby why? it's irresponsible to be a man" said Max cynically.

" It's not like that, brother, indeed he has a job that cannot be handled, from the beginning he has banned, I'm just who ngeyel. Besides, I will be accompanied by a doctor and a nurse, sister," explained Adinda defended. His name is wife, so whatever the husband remains behind.

Adinda seemed to think, how a Max suddenly chatty like now. Not only him, Widyawati was also surprised to see his son's attitude. And if he doesn't get it wrong, Max is a little unhappy with Adinda's return.

" Had the conversation continued on, the cold hunt for food," Widyawati interceded before Max continued the Omelette.

" But mom," Max still wanted to protest but Widyawati rounded her eyes and coded Max to be quiet. The middle-aged woman was afraid that Adinda would be offended because Max kept on looking for her.

Max did not argue and chose to continue the dinner with all the turmoil that struck. Bryan's coming home and it's very likely they'll stay at this dimension.

Not that Adinda has no place to live, Om Hartawan has a luxury house not far from here, so far the house is only taken care of by workers. The problem is mommy and also Aunt Diana will definitely not let Adinda stay outside the mansion.

Understandably so many years of parting with a favorite daughter makes the two middle-aged women overprotective. Lucky Aunt Diana lives in Bali if not for sure this mansion is getting frenzied.

Max lost his appetite at the thought of it all, he went from sitting and parting to the room.

" Follow mom," the reason was so mommy looked at her question mark.

" Where are you full, where do you eat? why don't you know how you feel when you go home?"Hardi who had been a listener had tried to tease his youngest son. Max didn't respond to him continuing to step upstairs.

" There was another problem the same time Alina," Widyawati assumed, Hardi just put the shoulder mark she also did not know.

" Sister Max really loves the same mbak Alina ya mom,"

Widyawati nodded enthusiastically, "It's not love anymore, but what's the name, the term of today?"

" Bucin mom,"

" Well that's it, so the bucin can't be far from Alina, if there is a problem a little bit aja lancung jingling, anyway Max used to be different from Max who now, love can indeed change someone,"

Adinda understood, in her heart she was a little sad, so great a taste that Max had for Alina, she thought she was the girl Max dreamed of but it turned out she was too confident. Max purely considered her a sister without any other intention.

But she is grateful that Max's rejection actually leads her to a meeting with Bryan, even though their relationship begins with an incident, gradually she felt in love with her husband because Bryan showered her with abundant affection like Max used to.

" Good night om, tan "a crisp voice greeted them while relaxing in the guest room.

" Alina, dear," said Hardi and Widyawati together, the beautiful girl smiled and greeted the two middle-aged men politely.

" Sir Alina, how are you?" greet Adinda who just returned from the kitchen with a glass of milk in her hand.

" Sirma! when did you get back from Singapore,? exclaimed Alina surprise, do not forget she cipika cipiki with the pregnant woman.

" Last afternoon, I decided to give birth here" Adinda told me.

Alina was also happy, they were seen small talk.Tak forgot Alina served the hand she brought, Max's favorite red velvet cake.

" Max again in his room baby, you samperin gih, from the afternoon he has not eaten, it looks like the mood is not good, are you guys fighting?" ask Widyawati curiously.

Alina shook her head, because she and Max were fine, even though she refused to resign from Mega Buana, they continued to communicate as usual.

But all day he could not hear from his lover. He tried to find out from Adrian, the man said Max was not fit, he refused to eat and focused on work alone. Hearing that Alina was worried so she took the initiative to make Max's favorite cake after the office. Lucky earlier he had asked Max's whereabouts to not go back and forth because he thought the man was in the apartment.

Alina knocks on Max's bedroom door, but with no answer, she tries to turn the door handle, apparently unlocked. Slowly the girl entered a very spacious room to be said as a room, then Alina placed a plate containing pieces of cake on the nightstand.

" Dear, where are you?" call Alina softly but there is no answer, not finding Max wherever the girl even stepped onto the balcony, a place she has not checked.

Alina breathed a sigh of relief, as the one sought was pensive, at the edge of the balcony.

Waitaminute!

Alina sniffed her nose, she smelled an unusual scent. His eyes caught a small glass and a drink bottle lying on the fence and if he did not see it wrong, there was a puff of smoke shining near the man.

" Did it taste so good?" reprimand Alina.

Max stammered at the familiar voice, to the surprise that Alina was staring.

" Dear, you!" Max did not continue , rushing him to turn off the cigarette butts that were still half-living.

" When it's turned off, just continue, I'll accompany you here, if necessary I'll come have a drink, it looks like this drink is delicious," Alina poured the contents of the bottle with red wine writing filled the glass that had been empty.

" I, uh, me, me,"

"I tried yes," Alina raised the glass and ignored Max's nervousness. The end of the glass had touched his lips but as fast as lightning Max brushed his hand away until the glass came loose and broke.

" why?didn't you really enjoy the drink, why can't I" Alina protested.

" That drink is not good for your health,"

" What about your health? it has no effect,"

" It's not that, I'm used to it, so there's no effect" Max reasoned.

" How about we go to the doctor, we'll see if your internal organs are okay even if you drink the illegal drink for life, if the results are good then I won't ban it again,"

Max silent.

" If you love me, you should love yourself too, I don't want you to be sick Max, I don't want to if something bad happens if you consume that curse liquid constantly,"

alina said with a trembling voice, her beautiful bead also condensed, a sign of raining tears will soon fall

Max did not have the heart, he regretted betraying his promise, honestly since they were with Max never again touch drinks and cigarettes, his life is healthier, and his life is better, sports activities that he had rarely done now became his routine on the weekend.

Just this time he returned bablas, remembering the chaos of his mind, he immediately took the remaining stock in the minibar in his room, which he had, he had not had time to throw things considering he spent more time in the apartment.

Max summarizes the face of the girl in front of him, on his swab a clear circle that is now flowing freely.

" I'm sorry, I'm just trying to, lately a lot of problems are approaching and I need to calm down,"

Alina frowned then laughed sarcastically.

" What do I mean to you, if you don't want to share the hardships you're facing, just assume I can't help at least I can be a good listener, that's not really a relationship,"

Max gulped, if only you understood Al's real problem, the man's inner self.

" I'm sorry, I just don't want to bother you, you've been preoccupied with work, not to mention Gladys' troubles,"

Alina was struck by Max's words, aware that in recent times she was less concerned about how her lover's condition, their communication was intense, but only asked the daily news of each.

" So this is why you asked me to resign" Alina tried to guess

Alina seems to have misunderstood. But Max didn't stop

" One of them is yes, because after marriage, I want you to focus on taking care of me and our children" Max tried to take the opportunity.

Alina scolded, "Apply not yet talk about marriage and children,"

Max laughed, "I'm going to propose to you soon,"

Alina looked for seriousness in the eyes of the man

" I am seriously dear, when it is necessary tomorrow I will bring my family to your home" Max assures.

" Don't be rash, I'll rethink your request, but give me time to finish all the work, there's one project I'm holding, "

Max was quite happy with the girl's decision, Max kissed Alina's forehead gently and then turned to the eyes, and just as he was about to kiss the cherry-red lips that had become his candlestick, the girl pushed her chest.

" Grush your teeth first, your mouth smells of alcohol and cigarettes, I don't like it,"

Max smiled and hurried to comply with his lover's request. Alina shook her head at Max's behavior. While waiting for Alina to take a broom and shovel to clean the glass shards.

The anger that had once erupted now evaporated somewhere changed with the flowers that tickled his heart.

Max wants to propose to her?I hope this isn't a dream.
