Between Love and Taste

Chapter 22 The Proximity of Kayla

Kayla's closeness with Rayhan has been said to be very close even now Kayla has never eaten with Alvin again because Kayla will approach Rayhan faster.

Although their relationship is now known to many doctors there including Alvin who already knows if Kayla already has a relationship with Rayhan.

Kayla is now approaching the park where she always meets Rayhan. However the man seemed unfinished with his work making Kayla sit down to wait for Rayhan.

''Hey kay.'' Sapa Alvin who saw Kayla was in the park.

''Hey,'' said Kayla a little nervously.

''You wait for Rayhan?'' alvin asked because he himself already knew about Kayla's relationship with Rayhan even so Alvin tried to look ordinary he might have to bury his feelings.

''Yes but it looks like Rayhan is still not done.'' Kayla slightly smiled at Alvin who was now sitting near her.

''Do you want to accompany me to eat? you haven't eaten yourself, have you?'' Alvin guessed that because it was his resting hour not too long ago.

''By the way, '' answered Kayla without answering any other questions she followed Alvin who was now up from his seat and took him to their usual place to eat when Kayla was not with Rayhan.

Kayla who had eaten with Alvin before she returned as usual even they occasionally chatted as usual.

''If you and Rayhan have not been together maybe at least I still have hope kay,'' lirih Alvin in his heart but even so he felt very happy at this time because Kayla wanted to accompany him to eat at least Alvin still has a place in Kayla's heart that is as his friend.

''Slow down kay.'' Alvin said that Kayla was eating so fast that she left little trace on the corner of her lips.

Alvin grabbed the tissue and gently rubbed the corner of Kayla's lips.

Kayla who got a sweet treatment from Alvin she felt very nervous.

''Let me be alone.'' Kayla said as she picked up the tissue from Alvin's hand.

Kayla felt very awkward even though she now ate back her food without being accompanied by a chat with Alvin.

''Well, there's no show tonight?'' Alvin said again breaking the silence between them.

''There.'' Kayla said with her smile she hoped that if Alvin stopped being sweet and would behave as usual.

''Oh alright.'' Alvin felt he could no longer express his feelings until now he finally expressed all his feelings even though he realized that Kayla already had a relationship with Rayhan.

''I want to be honest with you, I know I'm wrong because I secretly love you but can you just answer once if you have the same feelings as me? if only I would allow me to propose to you kay.'' Alvin said sincerely that Alvin knew that the greatest possibility was his rejection, even so Alvin would be ready if he had to step down.

''I can't al, I don't think you take advantage of our closeness, I appreciate your feelings but why you should express when I already have a lover. I'm sorry I'm not that bad at accepting you in my life and then I'm willing to let Rayhan go just like I'm sorry I'm not like you imagined excuse me.''

Alvin himself he did not understand what made him wrong in Kayla's eyes although it was clear he was very hurt by Kayla since this time Alvin would try to forget Kayla and try to open his heart for another woman.

...

Four months have passed since Kayla's rejection of Alvin. Now Alvin confines himself to Kayla just once he feels hurt because of his rejection of Kayla.

Alvin should have known that Kayla already had Rayhan and should have known from then on that Kayla never expected herself.

Alvin now has a lover named Nasya, a woman who has long been close to him but Alvin never realized it. Alvin himself did not know how to feel when he initially received the presence of the figure of Nasya but over time the feeling of love may have been present. Alvin is only aware that Kayla is not a woman worthy of him with which Alvin can open his heart to other women in his life.

Maybe it's been three months Alvin's relationship with Nasya since then the love for Kayla began to fade I don't know Alvin himself already does not want to think about the woman again now he began to focus on the relationship with Nasya.

The woman who has often been her vent place with all the advantages that she has Nasya has always been a place to complain like her mother who has not been a woman as if filling her day as if remembering Alvin on her mother who had long abandoned her.

''Night om.'' Greet Alvin to Reza who is visiting his house.

''Vin night, how is your business now?'' ask Reza who she definitely knows a lot about her family.

''Alhamdulillah om all goes well.''

Reza smiled broadly at all his words. ''It's good to play home sometime has long since I didn't see you. Yes it's dim, I have to go back and all your decisions I leave to you.'' Reza patted Alvin on the shoulder before Reza actually left his residence.

Alvin was only indifferent to the chat that he did not understand at all he was about to return to his room without wanting to ask what decision Kayla's father meant it might be his business problem because that he didn't want to ask her.

Alvin stepped his feet into the

the room with a slightly slow step but surely now he stopped his steps again when he heard the father's speech that was very clear in his ears.

''Next week you and Kayla will be engaged so papah just wants if you can accept her. The board does not want any rejection and papah hope you participate and can accept Kayla well.''

''What does this engagement mean?'' alvin asked no less surprised.

Not so Alvin just not ready with all this how can Kayla's father with his papah match him without the knowledge of the two of them.

''Can't get paid. I can't follow Papah's wishes.'' Alvin said he rejected his papah wishes. If only Alvin did not feel hurt at that time maybe he would be a little open his heart maybe even he would be happy but after knowing if he was rejected raw by Kayla as if he could must fight back. Especially now There's another woman who fills Alvin's heart. The woman who has harbored her feelings until now has become her lover.
