Endless Taste

. Alvi just fell silent, and leaned back in Galih's car.

"It's free. Even if I love her, if her heart still expects you, I can't." Said Alvi glaring far ahead.

"But not because I trust you doesn't mean I give up." Said Aldi making Alvi turn.

"Don't be selfish Aldi. If you hurt Avril's friend, then Avril's gonna hate you." Said Alvi staring deeply at Aldi.

"really? What if it was the other way around? What if Avil's gonna take me back?" Alvi looked annoyed at Aldi's question.

Aldi. His face was a little panicked, when he saw Avril and Galih coming out from the main door of the hospital. In a hurry, Aldi got into the car.

Alvi was astonished to look at the behavior of Aldi who was seen hiding from Avril.

"What are you doing?" Ask Alvi wonder.

"I don't want Avril to know that I'm waiting for her." Reply Aldi who then got into the car and put on a hoodie with a mask.

Alvi is still leaning on Galih's car. Staring at Avril and Galih who were walking side by side approached him.

"Include Avril. This is our new driver." Saying Galih without expression.

"really? Didn't you choose the wrong driver?"

"Why indeed? He's a perfect fit to be your driver."

"What is brother serious? If he's my driver, then I could be dropped off in the middle of the road, and then I'm just left behind."

Alvi looked at the two brothers silly.

"Keep making fun of me."

"I'm not mocking you." Galih said casually.

"As far as you go." Alvi ran around the car and got in right behind the wheel.

"Heiii.. You didn't open the door for me.?" Shouted Galih.

"Open it yourself." Shouted Alvi from inside.

Avril just laughed at the behavior of the two.

From inside the other car, Aldi looked at Avril so deeply.

"I miss your smile it's Avil." muttered Aldi while leaning his body.

Avril entered the car. Then Alvi drove the car away from the hospital.

Aldi remained silent and had no intention of leaving. His mind was still chaotic and raging.

"Syifaa.." he said. "Do I have to accept your presence?" He kept his eyes closed.

--

Alvi pulled over the car next to my father's car.

Aunty ran from inside and approached Avril.

"Aunt non's aunt." Aunty's speech was friendly when Avril got out of the car.

"Don't overdo it bi. I'm fine." Avril smiled.

"Just keep auntie worried if non-in-hospital." He said without hiding his worried expression.

"Ahhh aunt....." Avril hugged a spoiled aunt.

Galih stared flatly at Avril. Alvi too.

Galih passed into the house followed by Alvi from behind.

I saw my dad sitting on the couch.

"Dad's home yet?" Ask Galih to sit in front of dad. So did Alvi who was sitting next to Galih.

"Yes. Not long before you guys arrive." Answer Father.

"Sorry Galih didn't pick me up at the airport." Galih felt guilty.

"It's okay. Dad is happy. You're always looking after your sister."

"No dad. This time it's not me who's looking after Avril." Galih glanced at Alvi.

"Is that so?" My father smiled at Alvi.

Alvi looked confused, occasionally turning to Galih who was staring at him.

"Where's Avril?" Dad looked up and looked out the open door.

"He's still out with aunt." Answer Galih.

"Dad.." said Alvi after a moment of silence.

"What's Alvi?" Ask dad to squint his forehead.

"I'm sorry if it's sudden, but.... will you give my blessing to me and Avril?" Alvi asked a little doubtfully.

Dad didn't answer, and Galih looked calm.

"What does it mean that you're proposing to Avril?" Ask dad.

Alvi nodded slowly. "But I can't bring anyone in to apply officially." Alvi.

"What did you say?" Galih patted Alvi's shoulder. "By talking directly to father, this has become official. But, still only Avril could answer. Me and Dad just followed Avril's decision." Galih.

From behind the sofa that Alvi occupied, Avril silently stared at Alvi's hair.

"Is Alvi really serious? But why am I afraid. Afraid that Aldi will come back if I accept Alvi. But to refuse, I don't think I can. What exactly is this feeling?" Avril muttered looking at father.

"So? what answer?" Ask Dad to look at Avril.

"When have you been there, stupid brother?" Ask Garih without looking. But Avril did not answer Galih's question.

Alvi looked back.

"What?" Avril puffed her cheeks.

"No." Alvi looked back at me.

"Don't accept it, Dad. He's just kidding." Avril turned her face away.

"Do you still think I'm a joke? Do I have to marry you now so you can believe that I'm not kidding Avril." Alvi.

"Stop Alvi." Avril said in a flat tone.

"I'm sorry Avril." Alvi held her head with one hand.

"I'm sorry, but give me time to think about it, Dad." Avril walked quickly to her room, without turning her head and indifferent to Galih's call.

"No offense. Avril was so if she couldn't decide." Said Dad staring at Alvi.

"What a daddy. I don't blame Avril." Alvi said as she leaned back her body and closed her eyes.

"Why is your language different?" Galih scrunched her forehead staring at Alvi.

"You should have understood Galih. Didn't I propose to Avril officially? Of course I have to use formal language." Alvi replied with confidence.

"As far as you go Alvi." Galih took a long breath.

"You don't know the truth. You don't understand Avril completely." Galih continued, then heard Alvi's heavy breathing. "I understand Avril better than anyone. So, believe my word. Because if you don't, you'll regret it yourself." Galih continued to convince.

Alvi turned to Galih, then looked at him deeply.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not pathetic like you." Galih said.

"Ahhh. I have an appointment with a client this afternoon." Move from his sitting. "If you're going to rest, rest in my room." Galih stopped and turned to Alvi.

"No Galih. I'm going home. And I have to get to the office. I'm busy today, because my secretary isn't there for a few days." Said Alvi then moved and approached the father and kissed his hand. "I'm sorry dad. And send back my apology to Avril." Dad just nodded. No words would come out of her mouth when Alvi acted like this.

"Alvi, if Avril doesn't accept you, you'll still be my son." Alvi was silent looking at the smiling father. I wanted to hug tight, and cry.

"Thank you dad. But I have my own decision if Avril doesn't accept me." Alvi replied smiling but her hands kept clenching, restraining herself from crying.

Alvi turned around and passed away leaving the house. He drove his car a little quickly to his house.

"Am I really in a hurry?" Muttered Alvi kneeling his forehead. "Will Avril stay away from me? Ahhh shit. What the hell am I doing? Just to convince Avril, I didn't make it. And here, I'm officially proposing to her father." Alvi kept on being agitated all the way. Even at home, Alvi did not talk much.

When Dina had prepared Alvi's needs, Alvi was still silent. But when Dina was about to leave Alvi, Alvi's speech made Dina turn her head and feel that Ada was stabbing her chest. That word is none other than "thank you Avril." Yeah, a name that's not her name.

"Sorry sir. I'm Dina's not Avril." Said Dina again facing herself to Alvi.

Alvi looked at Dina without blinking, recalling her words just now. "Did I think too much about Avril?" Mumbled Alvi rubbed his face.

"Ahhh I'm sorry Dina. The name just popped out." Dina just smiled and nodded slowly. Then walked back to leave Alvi's room. After making sure the door was completely closed, Alvi sat down on the sofa. "Avrillll." Alvi back on her head.

. On the other hand, Avril who had called Bagas for not being able to enter the lecture today, sat down next to the window and stared out.

"What should I say.?" Lirih Avril's.

Galih opened the door and walked over to Avril.

"Are you thinking about Alvi?" Galih sat on Avril's bed.

"No." Avril replied without looking at Galih.

"Ohhh good." Galih said back up.

When Galih had reached the door, Avril called Galih and made Galih turn to Avril again.

"If you don't love her, you can't possibly not have the answer. Just ask your heart. Don't regret being alone." Galih said passed by closing the door.

Avril took a long breath. Then decided to meet Alvi to his company.

. After a long period of preparation, Avril went down the stairs. This time, Avril had actually returned to her old version. Wearing a dress and unraveling hair.

"Not recovered yet." Said the worried aunt approaching the stalled Avril.

"I'm fine bi. Don't worry." Avril smiled convincingly.

"Where will Jon go?" Ask aunt.

"I have a little business. And say my apologies to you if you get mad at me." Avril ran back to leave behind a troubled aunt.

Avril drove her car to company D. No matter Alvi is busy or not, Avril must see Alvi.

. Arriving in front of the company, Avril immediately entered and met with Irfan again.

"Avril? You're here again?" Ask Irfan happy. Avril nodded and smiled in response to Irfan's question.

"What are you going to see me or what are you doing?" Ask again.

"No brother. I want to see the president." Avril replied without removing her smile.

"It seems important."

"Very important."

"All right, I'll drive you." Irfan was about to grab Avril's hand, but Avril quickly pulled her hand and held the strap of her bag.

"I'll follow you from behind." Avril.

By force, Irfan walked in front of Avril.

. Arriving in front of Alvi's room, Avril was surprised to see Alvi's secretary now not Ray. At first glance remembering what Alvi said to Ray last night. Avril heaved a sigh of relief and smiled slightly in excitement.

The secretary politely bowed her head saluting Irfan.

"There are guests who want to meet the president." The secretary nodded in understanding. Then let Avril in.

Alvi looks busy with a pile of maps and papers on the table.

"Very busy?" Avril said sitting in front of Alvi.

"Avril?" Alvi is surprised by Avril's arrival. And turned to Irfan who was still standing behind Avril.

"You can come back." Alvi said to Irfan. Irfan smiled and nodded.

"Avril. If there's anything just look for me." Irfan said before leaving.

"Just calm. I'll take care of Avril." Alvi

"Thank you, sir." Irfan turned around and left the room.

Outside, Irfan kept smiling. But, still in his heart still feels there is something strange with the arrival of Avril himself to company D. Irfan keeps his mind off that Avril is Alvi's lover.

. In the room, Alvi calls someone to bring tea to her room.

"Did you miss me? We just spent some time together, didn't we?" Alvi walked towards the sofa and then sat down.

Avril followed Alvi and sat down in front of Alvi.

"This is still wide. Why are you sitting there?" Alvi asked patting the sofa beside her.

"What would anyone say if I saw me sitting next to you Alvi." Avril said annoyed.

Alvi chuckled at Avril.

"You know Avril? Seeing you act like that, makes me want to kiss you."

"Don't fuck Alvi. I'm not here to sell myself." Avril's getting upset.

"I'm just kidding Avril? What makes you bother to see me, when you just got out of the hospital." Alvi crossed her legs and leaned her body. Avril did not directly answer Alvi's question, and several times sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry before, but.." said Avril hesitantly.

"You're rejecting me?"

"No." Avril Strictly. "It's not. I'm not rejecting you."

"Does that mean you accept me?"

"Not really. I'm not sure if I accept you or not. I can't decide this fast." Avril said upset herself.

"Why are you upset.? If you can't accept me, you should have said clearly that you rejected me."

"I can't Alvi."

"You're still expecting Aldi back, aren't you?" Degs... Avril looked at Alvi with a frown.

'Tok. tok..' checkmate. The door opened and an Office Boy entered the room with a cup of tea and approached Alvi with his head bowed.

"Sorry sir. I don't know if there's a guest." Put a tea cup on the table.

"Nothing." Answer Alvi. Office Boy came back and closed the door.

"So, are you going to hang up your answer? And keep me waiting for you until you and Aldi get back together?" Alvi turned her face away.

"And shall I receive you while you and brother Amel.-"

"Amel has nothing to do with me. Stop saying Amel's name and think that I love him." Alvi's jerk made Avril surprised and looked at Alvi. Suddenly his body trembled...

"I'm sorry Avril." said Alvi, realizing that Avril was shocked and trembling.

Alvi moved and switched to sitting next to Avril.

"Sorry.." - Lirih Alvi.

. Avril moved and stepped away from Alvi. Alvi quickly chased after and hugged Avril tightly.

"Don't go. Stayhere. I'm sorry.." lirih Alvi made Avril speechless.

Suddenly the door opened, how surprised Amel when he saw Alvi who hugged Avril. Avril releases Alvi's hand. Then he approached Amel.

"Sister. i-this isn't what you see. Don't get me wrong fah-"
