Endless Taste

12

At exactly 7 p.m., Alvi and Avril arrived at the venue.

Avril circulated her gaze and found many of her campus friends there. And even some friends during her Junior High. Without Avril noticing, all eyes were on her. Awe-inspiring gazes, even to the point of envious gazes. How not, tonight Avril looks different than usual. Plus Avril who walks next to Alvi.

Avril approached Famela before the event actually began. While Alvi prefers to approach his friend who greeted him.

But at the same time, Aldi approached Famela and congratulated him.

It is undeniable, all his friends have known about the relationship Aldi and Avril established since Junior High. Only a few of them know the truth.

When greeting the two, many pray that Aldi and Avril can get married, but they do not realize there is a ring that is circular on Aldi's ring finger.

Even tonight, the two seem harmonious if they are side by side.

Making everyone convinced that the news circulating about Aldi's engagement was only gossip. And as if not believe the reality is not Avril girl juxtaposed with Aldi.

"You guys came together? So, is the rumor wrong? Hemmm I expected. You guys have loved each other for a long time, it's impossible to suddenly part like that." Famela said casually.

Avril simply smiled in response to Famela.

"I also wish it was just a rumor, but unfortunately it's true. And I just happened to meet Aldi here." Famela looked at Avril and Aldi alternately.

"What?" Avril asked Famela who still looked unsure.

"Have you guys really broken up?" Avril glanced at Aldi then nodded at Famela.

"I can't believe it. I know how much Aldi loves you, Avril."

"It's up if you don't believe it. But the reality is like that." explained Avril annoyed.

Deyan continued to pay attention to Avril, occasionally smiling. Aldi looks unhappy.

"So your view." Strictly Aldi stared at Deyan making Famela and Avril turn at the same time.

"What do you mean?" Famela looked in wonder at Aldi.

"You're engaged to Famela, wouldn't it be inappropriate to keep watching Avril like that."

"And you're jealous?" Deyan smiled cynically. Aldi clenched his hands as if preparing to hit Deyan at any time.

"Aren't you guys broken up? So there's no reason for you to get angry if I look at her." I don't know why Deyan's words made the three people in front of him feel upset.

"And why did you misunderstand me?" Deyan looked at Famela softly. "Isn't he Avril Vania? The sister of Galih Permana. The president of company A who is famous for his good looks? And...." Deyan fell silent then smiled before continuing.

"And?" Famela and Aldi.

"Miss Revano. In other words, Avril is Alvian Revano's girlfriend. And the only woman Alvian wants. You're very lucky Avril." Degs... Avril was astonished and did not understand what Deyan said. But his chest was unceasingly beating.

"He knows Alvi?" Avril Mumbles.

"And Mr. Aldian. I don't look at him, it doesn't mean I like him. Yes, it is only a fool who is not interested in a girl as beautiful as Avril. But I've convinced myself to Famela." Deyan embraced Famela and then gently rubbed her head.

Aldian was silent at Deyan's explanation.

His anger is gone.

"I hope you guys get along." Famela clasped Avril's hand.

Avril simply smiled in response to Famela. Then stepped out of Famela's place.

Aldi chased after Avril and then pulled her hand.

"Do you still love me?" Avril turned and scrunched her forehead.

"Aldi. This is no time for jokes."

"Avril... Who's kidding here?" Hardly Aldi stared hopefully. "You talk like you still love me, and it's like you can't accept the fact that we're no longer together." Aldi is getting more frustrated.

"Yes, I still love you." Avril said after sighing deeply a few times. "And I can't accept the fact that you've chosen something else over me. Even if it's my own friend."

"I told you, I'd call off my engagement if you still loved me. And, I didn't choose it."

"Then who? Who's Al? What me? Isn't the decision in your hands? Tell me that you didn't decide." Lirih Avril's.

"Don't humble women. Although it looks not loving, but who will be strong if faced with separation. Even if forced, who would want to let go?." Avril lirih.

Aldian was silent staring at the stiff girl in front of him.

In his heart, Aldi continued to blame himself. It is true, Aldi himself decided, but Aldipun could not deny that his heart actually still loves Avril.

When the unconscious Avril was still held by Aldi, suddenly a hand separated the two.

"Even though you love each other, I hope you know the time and place. Aren't there a lot of your old friends?" Amel looked at Aldi who was surprised because of him.

"Avril. So I never thought you'd approach someone who already belonged to someone else." Amel stared at Avril.

"Sorry brother. It's a misunderstanding. I also know my limits with Aldi." Avril smiled forcedly and then turned around to get away from the two brothers.

"I don't mean Aldi. But Alvi." Instantly, Avril's footsteps stopped hearing the name of Alvi thrown by Amel.

Now his chest tightened, more tight when standing in front of Aldi.

Someone approached Avril who was silent in place. Avril was surprised when she found Nadia suddenly in front of her.

"Sister Nadia?" Ask Avril astonished.

"Don't wonder. Deyan was my friend at High School. So, there's no other reason for me to be here." Nadia.

"Is Galih's brother here too?"

"If Galih wasn't here, I wouldn't be here. You know how protective your brother is."

"really. Galih will not allow Nadia's sister to attend an event like this. Unless he's the one who's accompanying Nadia's sister." Avril Mumbles.

"Avril.." call Aldi from behind. Nadia put on a surprised face when she turned her head and looked at Amel. Nadia knows where Amel is.

"Ohh Aldi. How are you?." Ask Nadia smiling. .

"My news is good, brother." Aldi replied smiling.

"Ah.. Nadias. Can you tell your sister-in-law not to intrude on someone else's property?" Amel glanced at Nadia.

"Is my brother bothering you Aldi?" Nadia asked Aldi.

"Not Aldi." Avril answered before Aldi answered. Nadia frowned, and soon smiled and nodded slowly.

"Ah... well I understand. But just so you know. The one approaching was not my sister, but Alvi herself. So, you don't blame my sister for this." Obviously Nadia then pulled Avril's hand.

Nadia approached Galih who was far from the main place.

"You pissed?" The Galih whisper on Avril. Avril just shook her head slowly.

"Then? What's with your moody face like that?" Ask Garih again.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Upset Avril looked at Galih.

"What?" Galih gently rubbed Avril's head.

"Sister should have said he'd be here too. And you know I'm gonna be home late for my friend's show."

Galih stared fixedly at Avril's face.

"say! What makes you so upset. Because it's impossible that just because I didn't tell you like this, you could be this sorry. And did you mention your friend's place?" Avril only fell silent then lowered her head.

Galih then glanced at Nadia beside him. And Nadia just shrugged both of her shoulders.

"Where is he?" Nadia did the same thing.

Galih circulated his gaze and stared fixedly at the group of guests not far from him.

Galih saw Amel who approached Alvi who was busy chatting with his friend.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Instantly Avril stared intently at Galih's eyes.

"Alvi's not my girlfriend."

"indeed not. And I don't mean Alvi. But Bagas." Avril scrunched her forehead and then turned her face red, between annoyed not to understand why Bagas was meant, or embarrassed why suddenly the name Alvi was thrown.

"Is there anything funny?" Garih asked her to bring her face closer to Nadia.

"Of course, sir. You're so funny." Nadia answered smilingly touching both of Galih's cheeks.

Avril turned her face back and found Aldi still staring at her from afar.

The same eyes, the moment when Aldi looked far away Avril among his friends. At first glance Avril recalled where Aldi was secretly looking at her at that time, when Avril was busy exchanging stories with Demira when she was in Junior High School.

Aldi who seemed to listen to Bagas, Reno, and others told stories, but his eyes remained fixed on the girl he liked.

"Currently.what am I thinking." Avril muttered away from Aldi's sight.

Alvi approached Avril who was silent beside Galih.

"Sister-in-law. You here?"

"And you're here too?" Ask Galih with a flat face.

"of course. I'm worried about your sister. I can't let your sister attend an event like this alone." Alvi.

"And I'm here to pick up Avril. And you don't have to worry, Galih and I will take care of him." Nadia said with a serious face.

Galih stared fixedly at the eyes of Nadia who was not joking at this time.

"What's this about? It's not unusual for Nadia to behave like this to Alvi." Galih muttered.

"I'll wait for you in the car." Call Galih suddenly.

"Why all of a sudden?" Alvi scrunched her forehead.

Avril walked ahead of Galih. But quickly Galih held Avril, making Avril surprised and shouted.

"What did you do?"

"There's a cat." Answer Galih.

"Keep this cat out of my sight." Strictly Galih with a cold face. Several security teams approached and apologized to Galih.

Really scary. From Galih's words tucked a vexed vexation.

"Down me brother." Avril glanced around her gaze. Then Galih lowered Avril slowly. But Avril could not balance her body. His eyes were heavy and his nose suddenly itchy. Several times Avril sneezed and finally fell asleep in Galih's lap.

"Damn..." Galih screeched and held Avril back.

Alvi ran behind Galih. And get in the car.

Alvi contacted Ray who had been on the spot.

"Bring Avril's car." Alvi.

"Good sir." Answer Ray sparingly.

--

Avril opened her eyes, finding someone she knew very well.

"What are you doing?" Avril asked shrinking her forehead.

"Waiting for you." Answer plain alvi.

"Why should we wait? I'm doing fine. Hashey..." Avril sneezed several times and covered her face with her hands.

"You're a freak. Allergic to cats!" Ejek Alvi's.

"Aren't you the weird one. You're allergic to Spicy." Cetus Avril was upset.

"Avil.." said Aldi who stood with Syifa beside him. His chest suddenly cramped to see what he did not want to see.

Avril smiled in response to Aldi.

"Have I been unconscious for too long?" Syifa shook her head

"Famela apologizes for letting her cat roam around." Syifa.

"It wasn't his fault. And why are you here?" Avril asked in astonishment looking at Syifa.

"Did your allergies make you amnesiac? Famela invited me too." Answer Syifa.

"Ahh right. I forgot about Syifa." Murmured Avril looked straight at the door.

Noah entered the room and as usual always told the inside to come out.

Alvi who remained sitting beside Avril's bed made Noah cluck annoyed.

"Don't you hear Mr Revano?"

"I wonder why you've always kicked me out if you're gonna check on Avril. If you want to concentrate, I can be quiet and not bother you." Alvi was upset.

Noah let out a long sigh "It's up to you. But I suggest you get out first."

"Alvi.... Can you get out first?" Ask Avril with a flat face.

Alvi screeched and walked towards the door. Then shut the door a little hard.

"Is he really your girlfriend?" Noah asked glancing at the door.

"He's not my girlfriend. Hasyiiii" Avril puffed her cheeks.

"Ohh I forgot. Wasn't your boyfriend with your friend?" Noah seemed to think a little.

"He's his fiancee." Avril.

"really? Hemmm you're really strong Avril. You can endure the pain in front of them."

"I'm not sick."

"really?"

"of course. Hashii"

"Then? why do you keep grabbing that blanket?" Noah pointed at Avril's hand. Avril released her grip and then turned her gaze away.

"Noah.." said Avril, not looking.

"Hmm?" Noah focused on the medical device in his hand and kept checking on Avril.

"Are Alvi and Amel really close?"

"And you're jealous?" Noah asked glanced at Avril.

"You should know better than I do Avril. You're dating Amel's sister. But you still ask. The betrothal did not guarantee their closeness, as did Amel's sister and your friend who had clearly made the exchange of rings, but seeing Aldian's attitude, it did not seem like he wanted this matchmaking. And also, your heart is still expecting Aldian isn't it?" Avril was speechless, her eyes staring at the flower vase beside her.

"Do you love Alvi?" Noah asked, looking closely at Avril.

"I don't know Noah. I don't think I can love anyone anymore. But I was also annoyed when I saw her with another girl." Avril looked at Noah.

"If I love you, will you accept me?" Avril was surprised to frown upon Noah's question.

"Ahahha! You're too serious, Avril." Noah chuckles at Avril.

"Fuck you." Avril belated.

"Sweet girl shouldn't say such harsh words." Noah said back to cleaning his medical equipment.

"Ahaha I'm sorry goddamn doctor....." Avril laughed at Noah.

"You should have told me to come out. Turns out you're joking with your patient Doctor." Said Alvi suddenly standing between the doors by draping her hand.

Avril and Noah looked together.

"Basic of bug intruders." Noah said.
