Between Love and Taste

Chapter 53

Kayla was unable to speak anymore just tears kept falling.

He is indeed very fragile how can he easily accept that fact even though it is like that.

''Don't cry anymore, we can go through it together.'' Alvin said again gently his hand rubbed Kayla's back so that she felt a little calm.

At least that's all he can do for now even though he knows that Kayla will fall back but with that maybe he will slightly forget for a moment the burden that is so heavy in his life.

Alvin himself will speak to

Bima, because only Bima could possibly believe he was eager to know what the real reason was hidden from all this.

...

The night is getting late now Kayla and Alvin are back in their respective rooms.

Kayla herself was a little calmer because of Alvin by her side. I don't know if there is no Alvin himself will be like at least with the presence of Alvin Kayla feels if now he is not alone.

There is a sense of gratitude that now appears in his heart he is very grateful because Alvin is always on his side even though the beginning of their marriage is not okay even Alvin himself was not accepting the presence of Kayla but now Alvin is back as it used to be something to be grateful for by Kayla.

Kayla's cell phone is now back in Kayla's ear. He began to reach for the phone he placed carelessly.

I don't know how many phone calls Kayla missed. Kayla still needs time to be on her own not yet fully well she is still very bad.

His eyes are now staring at the screen of his cellphone that is shown if Diana who is now calling him.

Kayla can only cry how can an older sister who Kayla has believed until the heart lies to her even Bima mas who Kayla always respects like her own parents are the same.

I don't know Kayla doesn't need an explanation for now that she feels just a deep disappointment until she decides to confirm her phone.

Kayla took a deep breath repeatedly she normalized herself hoping that a quiet glimmer in her heart would appear yet so very difficult.

With his eyes swollen and his body weakened he now forced himself to sleep, hoping that he would be better off when he woke up.

...

Alvin can't sleep yet his mind just keeps thinking about Kayla somehow facing Kayla.

Until now one call was back in making Alvin immediately reach for the phone that he had ignored since because of the phone he had left in his room.

It's not just that he felt unable to say anything Alvin felt very sad to see Kayla like a crazy person sometimes he cried sometimes he spoke to himself even his condition was very worrying.

''Assalamu'alaikum.'' Greetings Alvin when picking up a phone call from Bima mas.

''You go where the hell al, I've since the phone did not you do not pick up continue.'' Bima slightly raised her voice on Alvin.

Alvin can only resigned to the nagging of his brother-in-law that he accepted because he was also guilty of making his brother-in-law worried.

''What about my sister al?'' ask Bima directly on the subject of his question.

''He's good, I beg you to give Kayla a little space first. I know you guys are very worried but just give Kayla a little space she is very shaken with all this reality.'' Alvin on Bima.

There was a sound of Bima taking a long breath.

''Yes of course, you guys are not worried I'm just waiting for your explanation pity also Kayla.'' Said Alvin who immediately closed his call after saying hello to his brother-in-law.

Alvin himself he was very curious what the main reason they hid Kayla's identity especially after all this time.

I don't know if Alvin doesn't want Kayla to get worse he's just convinced that there's something really big behind it.

He began to lay his body on the mattress he recalled the incident last afternoon that made him feel happy.

Yes, for a very long time he did not see the laughter off Kayla just as he saw the laughter of the woman he immediately saw a very deep sadness that made Alvin very sad.

''I'm sure you're a very strong woman, I'm sure there's something behind all this.'' Alvin murmured softly.

Alvin who began to feel sleepy without realizing it his eyes now began to close his eyes with fatigue mixed with all the thoughts that lodged in his mind made Alvin immediately fall asleep after a day of draining himself all his energy and his mind.

...

It's early in the morning at three in the morning.

Alvin who was used to waking up in the early hours of the morning he began to wake up and stare at the clock on the wall which shows at three in the morning.

He walked with his heavy steps towards the bathroom to immediately wash his face and take ablution to perform tahajud prayers.

A few minutes had passed he was done with all his activities. He began to spread his prayer rug and began to pray.

Until now arrived at the last rakaat he ended with greetings and prayer.

He stared at the ceiling of his room and pondered at every step of his own life.

Alvin who is married he has a wife that he loves so much he never even imagined if he will be with the woman he loves but fate has not been on his side. After the wedding he got but still he still can not be together only in one roof without spending time with the ideals that he always dreamed of can pray tahajud together as if difficult he did although sometimes they do obligatory prayers together but still Alvin hopes that every time will be like that.

Maybe he is still far from the creator, maybe he still hopes on his creatures until he feels sad when what he wants can not be fulfilled.

His mind now re-conscious he remembered Kayla who was sad with his life.

''Astagfirullah.'' Alvin muttered that there was something more important than hope and wish.

Alvin soon woke up from his seat after he begged the creator for forgiveness and prayed for the good of his marriage.

He started walking towards the door and immediately walked towards Kayla's room and knocked on her.

Tok....

''Kay?'' Alvin called Kayla.

But a few minutes have passed and there has not been a statement from Kayla until the worry reappears instantly.

''Kay? is it time to pray you are awake?'' Alvin shouted from the outside again but with a louder voice but still Kayla did not open the door of her room even she did not answer Alvin's statement made Alvin more worried.
