. "What do you think is stupid.? Just because Aldian and Syifa betrayed you, you didn't consider anyone around you. Isn't there me, Reno, and Alvian you've always been with? When are you going to be like this? If you fall, we fall together. And let Reno and I help you when you fall alone. I'm your friend, we were kids together. Don't you consider my existence?" Bagas stared intently at Avril who looked terrified as she stared at Bagas.

"Stop Bagas. Avril was terrified to see you. I understand you're angry, but don't yell at him like that. Speak well." Reno turned to sit next to Avril.

Avril turned her face back.

"Sorry Avril." Bagas was bent over by his hand on the table. "I just miss our old days together." Bagas continued to look up.

"Avril... I'm sorry too. I don't mean to cover up the fact that Syifa is Aldian's fiancee. Because I thought you'd known all along." Reno rubbed Avril's shoulder. Avril turned her head and smiled at Reno.

"There's nothing wrong here. I just want to be alone." Avril turned her head to Bagas.

Bagas who glared at Avril's smile, but Reno immediately hugged Avril with pleasure.

"I miss you." Bagas was stunned to see Reno hugging Avril.

"What the fuck are you Reno? Why are you the only one hugging Avril?"

"You want to hug her? Can't Bagas. because you've scolded him." Ejek Reno glanced at Bagas triumphantly.

"Avril.." call Bagas. And Avril turned to him.

"Keep smiling like that. I'm sick of seeing you expressionless." Bagas shifted his eyes.

"Sorry." Avril shed her tears but kept smiling.

. In company D, Alvi is struggling with the files on her desk.

"Dam."

"After this is done, you can meet Miss Avril." Ray smiled.

"Ahhh how long have I not seen him Ray? It seems like 1 month, right?."

"2 days ago, sir. Not too long." Ray's face turned happier when he saw a name on the incoming call on his master's phone.

Alvi quickly answered.

"Did you miss me?" Say Alvi without saying hello first.

"Don't be kidding Alvi. I don't miss you." Avril sounded annoyed.

"then? Why'd you call me?"

"I-i....." Avril looks doubtful glancing towards Bagas then at Reno.

"Hmm?" Alvi scrunched her forehead.

"Sorry."

"What?" Alvi was astonished. "For what?"

"If I've been indifferent to you lately." Avril turned her eyes.

With a sudden laugh Alvi responded to Avril.

"What's so funny?" Avril puffed her cheeks.

"You. You're so funny Avril. I don't know what's wrong with you, this time you're apologizing to me? Aha.. hahah.. hahaha.." said Alvi with a laugh.

"Laugh all you're happy." Avril disconnected the call and put her phone on the table in annoyance. But Bagas and Reno smiled at Avril's attitude like this.

Avril's phone rang, swiftly sliding the phone's screen and placed in the ear.

"Avril. I really am just a joke. I was excited to know you were no longer angry with me. I beg Avril not to be angry again. Ummm what if we're gonna have dinner tonight, yeah as my apology and we're all dating." Say Alvi without giving others a chance to talk.

"Hiiiiiiiiiii I refuse. I'm still fucking normal." Say Bagas goosebumps. "I Bagas. Not Avril... I don't want a date with you. waaaaaa" Bagas yelled a little. Seeing that, Avril and Reno looked up and laughed together.

"May I and Bagas be lonely 2 weeks.

Avrilll. Even if it's just a friend." Reno muttered looking at Avril.

. At night, Avril was busy with her college assignments.

His phone rang several times. Avril only glanced at him, and had no intention of answering. For some reason, his disappointment has not disappeared to Syifa.

After a few minutes, Avril's phone went off. But this time Avril answered the phone call.

"Hallo. I'm busy." Avril.

"I'm downstairs. And bring your laptop." Alvi said in a flat tone.

"For what? Ehhhh" Avril puffed her cheek when she learned of the call ending.

Lazily, Avril brought her laptop down.

And found Alvi who was sitting on the sofa with the father who was focusing on reading a book.

"She's really so close to dad." Avril murmured down the stairs.

Avril put her laptop and cell phone on the glass table, then sat on the floor. Alvi sat down next to Avril.

"Sit on the ground, it's cold." Said Alvi snatch Avril's laptop. Avril looked at Alvi.

"Dad. I have a lot of work." Rengek Avril pointed at Alvi. I looked up to Avril and smiled. Avril puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"Your attitude is the same as it was with Aldian" Galih said suddenly. And 'brughhhh' a book landed on Galih's face.

"What are you doing stupid?" Shouted Galih staring intently at Avril.

"If you put that name in front of me, it's not just books, it's you that I'll throw." Furious Avril lowered her head and clenched her hand.

Alvi glanced at the girl's horror beside her.

"really scary. Is she really a girl?" Mumbled Alvi.

"I heard this week there was a meeting with company B." Asked father glanced at Galih who was sitting behind Avril.

Avril flinched, Galih glanced in astonishment at Avril who was seen holding back in annoyance. Company B is an Aldian family company.

"Do you want to throw me a book?" Galih Eject.

"Why are you working with that company?" Lirih Avril's.

"For me, if it's profitable why not?" Answer Galih relax.

"But I object." Avril said firmly.

"That's your problem, not mine."

"I thought you understood my feelings." Lirih Avril's.

I looked up and put the book down. Looking at the lowered Avril.

"Son. Get rid of your ego." Firm dad.

"Yaaa. more specifically, you can ask Alvi." Rubbing his head. Avril turned to Alvi who was casually glancing at Avril.

"He's the kind of person who hates anyone. Except for the person who really caught his attention and was completely trustworthy. But he never brings his personal feelings to work." Galih glanced at Alvi.

"Sorry!" Avril looked back.

. Alvi helps Avril with her tasks.

Alvi occasionally pricks Avril who continues to focus on her laptop. Right at 11 pm, saw the father who had returned to his room, Galih's brother who was asleep on the sofa, and Alvi who still looks fresh fiddling with his phone.

"Go back to the room." Alvi said without glancing at Avril.

"And you?" Avril asked turned her head after tidying up her books and laptop.

"If my business with Galih is done, I'll go home." He looked at Avril.

Avril turned her face away, looking annoyed.

"Isn't it already night. It's too dangerous to go home too late."

Alvi just smiled hearing what Avril said.

"All right, I'll stay the night. As per madam Revano's request." Ejek Alvi whispered in Avril's ear.

Avril was shocked and moved away. Stare in annoyance at Alvi.

"I thought Alvi met me on purpose." Avril Mumbles.

Avril moved from her seat.

"If your business is with Galih, why are you so busy helping me?"

"What's wrong if I want to help you? Our time is limited, I can't linger with you if it's not like this." Avril turned her face away.

"Have you finished the romantic scene?" Garih's question surprised Avril. Alvi laughed seeing Avril.

"You're funny when you're surprised Avril." Avril turned around and kicked Galih's leg in annoyance.

And go half-run up the stairs.

Avril stopped in the middle of the stairs and stared at the stairs in front of her.

"Alvi.." call Avril without turning.

"Hmm?" Alvi turned to look at Avril who was standing on the stairs.

"Thank you." Avril continued her steps. Alvi smiled in response to Avril's words.

"Don't run! Your feet can hurt again." Alvi said a little shouting.

"I hate to say it, but thanks." Galih stared at Avril's room.

"Ahaha it's nothing. It was my duty as her future husband. Isn't that brother-in-law?" Ejek Alvi glanced at Galih whose face suddenly turned irritated when glancing at him.

"If your business with Amel is not finished, then don't expect to be my sister-in-law." Galih said a sharp glance at Alvi.

"Ahaha alright." Alvi hid her annoyance with a joking smile upon hearing Amel's name.

Galih and Alvi enter the workspace.

On the other hand, Avril was just rolling around on her bed. Unable to sleep, thinking about what Alvi and her brother were talking about. Because they don't usually deliberately talk about business like this.

Avril closed her eyes, then saw Alvi's face in front of her. Avril woke up patting her cheek a few times.

"What am I thinking?"

Avril covered her body with a blanket. Close his face tightly.

Slowly sleeping in his dreams.

. In the morning, Avril was surprised to find Alvi who was busy with her tie. Down the stairs with slow steps, watching Alvi who was upset by herself.

Avril laughed a little at Alvi's behavior.

Avril put her things on the table, and grabbed Alvi's tie.

"I can be myself Avril..." Alvi looked at Avril who did not hear him.

"Avril.." he said a little annoyed.

"Shut up and don't move." Said Avril who focused on the messy Alvi tie.

"I see, your tie is so neat every day, I guess you did it." Ejek Avril's.

"Dina prepared it." Lirih Alvi turned her gaze away.

Avril scrunched her forehead. "Dina?"

"Yes. He's Miss Rumi's nephew. The waiter at my house."

'Drttt' Avril strongly pushed the tie until Alvi suffocated. Alvi coughed and loosened her tie, rubbed her neck softly then stared intently at Avril.

"Are you going to kill me?" Avril only glanced away her gaze.

"Alvi's been in a house with a woman? Always prepare his needs. I don't know why it pisses me off." Avril took a long breath.

"Uhuk... ahemmm... Are you jealous?" Alvi brought her face closer to Avril. Just a few centimeters between Alvi's face and Avril's cheeks. Highlight Alvi's eyes always feel warm when in front of him. Avril only fell silent, glancing sharply at the smiling Alvi mocking her.

"Are you close to Dina?" Avril asked looking straight at the object in front of her.

"It used to be, but it's not now." Alvi replied without moving away from Avril. Avril puffed her cheeks which made Alvi so anxious. 'Cup' Alvi kissed Avril on the cheek and smiled at the surprised Avril and moved away from her.

'Cloth' her face was red from Avril's slap.

"What are you doing asshole?" Avril brought her strong-headed hand to the face of Alvi.

Alvi grabbed Avril's hand and was still smiling.

"You're so adorable. If you don't like me like that, don't be adorable in front of me. Understood?"

Avril turned her face away. Her cheeks were red like tomatoes.

But his hands kept clenching in annoyance.

"I will not turn away from you Avril." said Alvi made Avril turn back.

"What's wrong? You guys are so noisy." Galih ruffled her hair.

"Ahaha there is no. Your sister misses me." Alvi glanced at Avril.

Galih glanced at Avril who turned her face away.

"Have you had breakfast?" Ask Avril.

Avril shakes. Then walk to the dining table. Avril turned her head and found Alvi who was installing her watch.

"I'll catch up." Alvi turned her head and smiled at Avril.

Alvi walked towards the dining table together with Dad.

Avril felt astonished at Galih who was wearing casual clothes today.

"I have an event with Nadia." Galih looked at Avril.

"Why is Nadia's sister no longer home.?" Avril asked before devouring her food.

"You miss him?" Avril nodded in response to Galih's question.

"When you know my wedding day alone I count the days." Galih patted his forehead.

Avril was surprised and looked at Dad. Dad just nodded. Avril cursed herself, why she could forget that her brother was getting married.

Avril looked down at the food pan in front of her.

"Don't grieve. I won't leave you after marriage." Galih convinced Avril.

"Not that. I just don't know who to go to your wedding with. Aldian and I have broken up, and if it's with Baren, it could be. But they'll bring their partner. Maybe." Avril muttered the spoon and her fork was plucked.

"There's Avril. Is that Dad-in-law?" Alvi looked at father expectantly. But father only shook his head with his second attitude.

. After breakfast, Avril moved from her seat and left the dining table.

"Dad.today there's an event at a friend's house. I'm gonna be home a little night." Shouted Avril from the family room.

Alvi catches up with Avril and grabs her car keys.

"I drove you, and don't refuse." Avril took her breath back.

"Alright. I obey." Avril entered the car making Alvi smile happily.

. Traveled

"What's your friend's show?" Alvi asked with a focus on driving.

"Application." Avril answered, thinking.

"And you'll come alone without a partner?" Avril nodded.

"What time?"

"What?" Avril scrunched her forehead.

"The way!" Alvi turned to Avril.

"Hour 7." Alvi just nodded in response to Avril leaving Avril astonished.

Arriving at the gate, Alvi pulled Avril's hand. Avril looked at Alvi who was getting closer to her.

It felt like dodging, but Avril just closed her eyes. Right on his forehead Alvi let out a farewell kiss.

"I just love you. Remember that"

Avril turned back her reddened face.

"I'll pick you up."
