Between Love and Taste

Chapter 61

One week has passed since Kayla's meeting with her biological mother since then Kayla always visited her Aira mamah even though how many times she had received rejection from her mamah because she always just as if not opening himself up even he often gets treatment that makes Kayla hurt.

But Kayla is not desperate she will try for her mamah. Kayla always had the support of Alvin.

The man even gave a special doctor to his mother-in-law.

Alvin himself sometimes intervened directly in braving his mother Kayla.

He always tried to approach his mother Kayla very well until now Alvin can be close even if on Kayla his mother always refused her son to visit him.

And just like at noon today after Alvin finished work he went straight to the hospital where his mother-in-law was.

He went there with Kayla who came every day.

''Let me just wait here.'' Kayla was silent for a moment as she was about to approach her mother's room.

''Why ''Why?''

''I don't want if mom will reject me again, even I'm afraid if mom doesn't want to accept this just because I gave her.'' Lirih Kayla is sad.

Kayla stared back at the doll she had just bought with Alvin.

Because it was her day her mother always cried because her doll was torn.

''Hey, it's just a matter of time and I'm sure everything will come back as it is, hopefully, mom will recover soon and be able to accept you.''

''But when is it?''

Kayla looked up and looked at the shady face of her husband.

Only Alvin can always make himself seem to have a new spirit and just as now he again feels there is hope that always grows when he looks at the face of his husband.

''There will be a time.'' Alvin said sincerely.

Kayla again silenced her smile really she felt she had new hope again.

''Come.''

Kayla nodded obediently and now she walked again and linked her hands to Alvin as if she needed the strength of the man.

Alvin just smiled he glanced at the glance of his arm which is now held by Kayla tightly.

''Since Kay, I've missed times like this.'' Alvin murmured in the heart.

But not yet he felt the pleasure that he re-awakened in his speech.

''Astagfirullah what's wrong with me, I shouldn't think like that Kayla is right now in need of power there's only you Alvin.''

Alvin continued to argue in his mind until without realizing it they had now arrived in front of his mother's room.

''Mas,''

''Oh yes,'' Alvin was surprised because he was still thinking about himself as if taking advantage of the situation.

''As why?''

''No, come on.''

Alvin walks into Kayla's mother's room and begins to walk closer to the woman who still looks sad.

''Assalamu'alaikum ma'am, it's me Alvin.''

Aira turned towards Alvin who was still standing with Kayla beside Alvin who was holding a doll.

''What do you want here? you go!''

Aira again showed her dislike for Kayla.

''Mom, mommy, mom calm down yeah this is Kayla she's good with mom she's the same as me, oh yeah mom this is Alvin bring a new doll mom.'' Alvin happily thrusts the doll from the hand at Aira.

Aira was still silent like a frightened person she even grimaced with her hands that continued to hold the doll with her other hand still holding her hair.

''Get rid of it, do you want to bring my child? you are just as evil go!''

Aira shouted in a slightly hysterical manner she even threw a gift doll from Alvin. Even now he even cried and continued to hug his doll as if he was afraid that his doll would be taken by Alvin.

A nurse approached them and she tried to calm down the frightened Aira.

''Stop,''

Kayla stopped the nurse's movements and now she dared to approach her mother with her sad face.

''No more injections.''

Kayla is getting closer to her mother who is now hysterical.

''Kay,'' Alvin tried to stop Kayla's movement because it would be very dangerous because the current condition is not good.

But instead of stopping Kayla gets closer to her with tears now falling. He was very sad to see the condition of his mother who had not shown a change.

''Mom, '' Kayla approached and grabbed her mother's hand.

But Aira increasingly showed his anger he immediately slammed the doll to hit Kayla because he was approaching her.

Alvin who saw it he immediately protected Kayla's body with his body so as not to be hit by his mother's blow. And Aira he immediately get treatment and immediately given a tranquilizer.

The painful atmosphere back Kayla was so sick when she received bad treatment from her mother but not only that she felt more pain when the reality that continued to hurt her heart realized that her mother was still not wellokay and just keep needing a sedative.

Her tears were getting spilled Kayla carrying the doll that since her mother hugged with the rest of her strength she immediately hugged it tightly.

"I'm sorry Kay, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to make us smile." Alvin murmured in his heart.

Alvin rubbed the top of Kayla's head and grabbed the woman in his arms.

...

Kayla still can't get home from there, she still wants to spend her time in that mental institution.

His eyes still shed tears with his hands that kept wiping his mother's doll.

"We go home, we need to be strong and healthy for your mother Kay."

"I don't want to go home yet, you can go home first if you want."

Hearing Kayla Alvin's reply could only take a long breath. He really felt he could do nothing more.

"Mas can I ask you something?" kayla asked, staring at Alvin's face.

"What do you want?"

"I want thread and gold needles." Kayla shows her mother's doll that looks torn.

He now knows maybe the reason his mother was angry with Alvin because the doll he gave may not want a new doll and maybe he was sad because his doll was damaged.

Alvin nodded in understanding and he left while gently rubbing Kayla's head.

Twenty minutes have passed Alvin has returned with the goods requested by his wife.

"It's Kay," Alvin thrusts a sewing kit at Kayla.

With her hands still shaking Kayla grabbed it and immediately put her thread on the little needle.

But his hands were so shaking. He still could not compensate for the shape of the tiny hole of the needle.

"Let me help."

Alvin takes the needle from Kayla's hand and tries to input her thread.

Kayla's heart warmed again really he felt happy because the existence of Alvin can always help him.

" Thank you, man."

Kayla smiled knot and received the needle that had been attached with a thread that matched the color of the doll owned by her mother.

Sewing by stitching has been done until now the doll owned by his mother looks good again. Kayla smiled happily as she was happy to see the doll looking like it was before.

"May mother not be sad anymore mas." Kayla glanced at Alvin who was still staring at her.

"Sure Kay, your mother will be very happy with your affection."

Kayla smiles again she hopes that if her mother will be okay and at least she can calm down even though she hopes that her mother will recover soon but she will try to be patient to the best possibility it's coming.
