Endless Taste

. Avril retreated slowly then quietly went away from the room. I don't know where he's going, Avril with her head down the hospital hallways.

In the room, Reno was agitated because the two never returned. With a hurry, Reno was about to approach Avril, but the door was first opened by Alvi and Amel behind her.

"Where's Avril?" Tanya Reno looked up and looked behind Amel.

"Whatchu mean? Isn't Avril inside?" Alvi was no less astonished.

"What's? You didn't meet him? He said he wanted to make sure you didn't do anything weird because he didn't trust me." Obviously Reno is getting panicked.

"Did she look at me and think that.." muttered Alvi and "shit" she came back out and ran down the hospital hallway with Reno and Bagas.

"Why did you let him?" Alvi was upset.

"You. It's because of you." Reno replied no less upset.

"Why are you following me?" Alvi stopped and looked at Baren who came to a stop.

"I'm also worried about Avril." Answer Plain bagas.

. At the same time, Avril meets Noah.

"What are you doing out there?" Noah grabbed Avril's shoulder in panic.

"Please let this go." Tell Avril to show the infusion in her hand.

"Avril you're not recovered yet."

"I want Noah home." Whining Avril.

"What's wrong with you? When I left, you were fine." Noah stared at the astonished face of Avril.

"I want to go home." Avril said annoyed.

"No Avril."

"Then I'll take it off myself." Avril was about to pull the infusion needle from her hand.

"No-no. Don'tdon't. Let me do it." Noah quickly grabbed Avril's cold hand. Glanced at his annoyed face.

"Happy?" Tanya Noah snatched the infusion equipment that Avril had brought.

Avril passed by leaving Noah stunned by Avril's departure.

"Am I crazy too?"

When he wanted to go back to his room, someone called his name. Noah turned his head and found Alvi who Baren followed behind him.

"When did you have a bodyguard?" Noah's question could not hide his expression.

"This is not the time to joke Noah." - furious Alvi.

"Did you see Avril?" Reno asked in panic.

"Avril?" Noah scrunched his forehead.

"Yes.he disappeared." Say Bagas.

"What's going on.?" Noah was astonished by the situation.

"She-" the ringing of the cell phone stopped Alvi's speech. Alvi reaches into her suit pocket and receives a call from Ray.

"Sir.I saw Miss Avril entering the cab." Ray said from sebrang.

"What?" Alvi tries to digest Ray's words. "Follow him Ray." Alvi said a little shouting.

"What's he thinking?" Grutu Alvi while walking quickly. Noah just pecked and scratched his head that did not itch.

"So, who's crazy here?" Noah muttered as he turned towards his room.

. On the other hand, Galih and Nadia reached Avril's room. However, Galih was surprised to find that the room had no one.

The sound of a cell phone that sounded and went back to silence a few moments not far from them stood up, Galih took and saw the names of Bagas, Reno, and Alvi in his missed call history.

"Dam. Doesn't this belong to Avril?" cetus Galih then took Nadia to the security room to check CCTV.

. While Alvi and Baren chase the taxi referred to by Ray between a long traffic jam at a red light. And not too far away, Bagas pointed to a taxi that blocked several cars in front of him.

"Why am I driving? Looks like I'm their driver." Alvi muttered as she stared cynically at Baren.

"What?" Baren asked simultaneously staring silly at Alvi.

"You guys behave like my employer" Alvi said annoyedly.

"Don't think of it Alvi. Now it's time to go after Avril." Bagas' speech made Alvi let out a long sigh.

"But..what makes Avril desperate to go home with such conditions?" Reno seemed to be thinking far ahead.

"You're right, and at the same time...." Bagas and Reno turned back to Alvi then looked at her sharply. Alvi squealed but soon gulped a smile on her lips.

"I didn't expect Alvi. Turns out you were just playing Avril." Bagas stared cynically at Alvi who was refocused to the front. His voice sounded different than usual when he was angry.

"Eh? Whahuh? I'm not playing Avril." Alvi said casually.

"Alvi is not evasive. I won't let you do anything to Avril" Reno said.

"You why? Don't you also know that I tried to convince Avril that I loved her?. I told you I couldn't play with her feelings." Grumpy Alvi.

"You just smiled with satisfaction when you found out that Avril was jealous of you, right?" Bagas raised his voice.

"That's what makes me happy. You know what it means to have Avril jealous?" Alvi smiled broadly again asking the two people behind her.

"But you don't know how Avril would love someone." Decih Bagas's.

"I knew. And that's why Avril left for no reason after seeing me with Amel." Lirih Alvi

Alvi returned to drive his car when the light was green and the car in front of him had gradually drove slowly.

Alvi overtakes the taxi that Avril really has in it. Instantly the taxi stopped suddenly and made Avril hit.

"Sorry miss. I was not intentionally. There was a car that stopped in front of me.!" The taxi driver felt guilty.

"Leave it sir. Just stop it." Avril fell silent despite knowing that Alvi and the others must be looking for her.

Bagas and Reno came out first and approached the leaning Avril with a cold gaze.

"Avril...."

"I want to Bagas myself." Resolutely Avril before Bagas continued his words.

"You why Avril...?" reno looks worried.

But Avril was silent and did not answer. Avril's discomfort grew more noticeable as Alvi approached her. Avril pinched her forehead with a face that held in annoyance.

"What I-" Alvi came to a halt when Avril suddenly interrupted her speech.

"Snake the road...!" Avril said to the driver in front of her.

"Don't you, sir. I have business with him." Alvi said slightly. Alvi grabbed the car door and opened it, then pulled Avril who was screeching to look at it.

"You saw me with Amel, didn't you?" Alvi looked at Avril expectantly.

"Yes. And I saw that scene."

"Then? Is that what's taking you home all of a sudden?"

"It's definitely my business. I'm this-"

"You're nobody Alvi. Never mind. You're just someone passing by like the wind, and it doesn't mean anything to me!" Alvi was speechless looking at Avril who remained cold saying the thing that made Alvi feel pierced by an arrow right in her chest.

"Alright Avril. You're right I'm a nobody. So it's not worth meddling in your business." Alvi said withstanding the tightness, not believing that Avril would say so.

"Don't see me after this Alvi. I'm sick of seeing your face. Don't take me to your unfinished past." Said Avril coldly turning her face away. If still a child, maybe Alvi was crying in front of Avril. Avril's words clearly hurt him.

"I'm sorry if I let you down, Avril. But it's not what you see."

"Did holding hands and stroking cheeks not explain that you and Amel still love each other?"

Avril re-entered the taxi and was followed by Bagas who entered beside her.

The taxi drove back, but Alvi was still silent accompanied by Reno.

"You're not coming?" Ask Alvi without looking.

"Why are you silent? Where is Alvi who always shows her love for Avril? You seem to give up suddenly. Or do you really still love Amel?"

"I never loved Reno." Upset Alvi turned her head and stared intently at Reno.

"Then?"

"Reno can you drive for me? This time just help me. I don't want to take a car." Reno simply nodded as she heaved a heavy sigh in response.

. "Alvy? Explain to me what happened. Didn't you say you just wanted to go to the toilet?" asked Reno who was driving and occasionally turned to Alvi.

Alvi let out a long sigh before starting her explanation.

*flashback a few hours ago.

. Alvi walked towards the toilet after making sure Reno entered the room. But just a few steps, Alvi passed Amel. Although Alvi ignored, Amel quickly pulled Alvi's arm. Had Alvi wanted to brush off Amel's hand, Amel looked down lethargic and continued to apologize for the incident that happened to Avril the other day. Recently Alvi saw Amel crying because of his actions.

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Avril. He's the one who got the accident, not me." Amel nodded slowly and let his tears run down his cheeks.

"I'm afraid if Avril doesn't forgive me." Lirih Amel was a little hoarse typical of people who were crying, and several times sobbing held back his cries.

Alvi smiled, it seemed like she wanted to laugh out loud. Then Alvi patted Amel's cheek gently and returned his grip, but did not realize that there was a girl who looked at him in disbelief.

"Avril isn't like that. Even when everyone blamed you, Avril innocently asked for your news and condition. Isn't that a bitch?" Alvi chuckled little looking at Amel's face which was staring flatly at him.

"Ahh you're right. No wonder you and Aldi love her so much." Amel turned his face away.

"It's good that you understand." Alvi then let go of her hand and returned to Avril's room.

When he opened the door, Alvi found Reno in front of him. Unbelieving that Avril was not in the room, Alvi rushed down the hospital hallways with Reno and Bagas behind her.

*flashback end-of-life

"so. I didn't actually do anything to Amel." Said Alvi leaning her head on the car seat.

"So?"

"What's that?" Alvi looked astonished at Reno.

"How to convince Avril that this is just a misunderstanding." Reno replied that he continued to focus on the road ahead of him.

"Do you believe me?" Alvi scrunched her forehead.

"I don't know..." Reno shook her head slowly.

Alvi let out a heavy sigh, then closed her eyes again.

"We follow Avril." Say Alvi without opening her eyes.

"Well, Mr. Alvian Revano." replied Reno with a forced smile and then a look of annoyance.

"You know my name?" Alvi asked in surprise as she looked at Reno.

"Haihh. Of course I know you, company president D" Delik Reno.

The two followed the taxi that was boarded by Avril and Bagas.

Bagas continued to stare at Avril's pale face.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ask Bagas to worry. Avril nodded in response.

"What brings you home all of a sudden like this?" Bagas could not hide his curiosity.

"Nothing." Answer Avril.

"We've been friends for a long time. There's nothing you need to hide from me anymore." Delik Bagas then looked out the glass. Avril turned her face to the other side.

"Am I opening my heart too quickly to others? Using someone to forget someone." Lirih Avril leaned back and still stared at her reflection in the glass.

"What do you mean? You're talking about Aldi? Or Alvi?" Bagas looked closely at his friend with a frown. But Avril did not answer, and was silent for a long time.

"I hate it when you're quiet this way. If there's a problem, you should talk. If you continue like this, Reno and I won't be able to help you. We don't always understand and understand what your silence means." Said Bagas annoyed without seeing Avril's increasingly beautiful face.

Without realizing it, a car stopped making taxis come to a stop.

Someone got out of the car with a face that clearly looked annoyed. Opened the taxi door violently and pulled Avril's hand.

"Sick brother." Stimulate Avril by grasping the hand Galih that grips Avril's wrist firmly.

Bagas came down and was about to chase after Avril who was in pain when she was about to enter the car by force.

"sister-"

"Shut up!" Balih jerk makes Bagas ciut guts instantly.

"Steacher... What are you doing?" Alvi's voice made Galih's anger even more heightened.

"Stay away from my sister or your company will be ruined in my hands." Galih said coldly with eyes that stared intently at Alvi who was standing not too far away from him.

"When did he get off?" Reno was confused when she realized Alvi was outside.

"No Galih. I'd rather lose my company than stay away from Avril." Assertive Alvi no less cold.

"Sad.. Do you want to keep playing with my sister's feelings?" Galih screeched with a tone of restraining annoyance.

"I never played with Avril Galih's feelings. How else should I explain to you." Alvi started to look desperate.

"Your words don't match what you did Alvi. Once a bastard, you're still a bastard." Now Galih's eyes began to turn red withstanding the anger that wanted to overflow.

"Before you judge me bastard, you better look at yourself." Galih heated up hearing what Alvi said. Galih approached and without thinking long hit Alvi's face right on his thinning. Perih, and heat.that's what Alvi felt at this time.

The taxi driver came out to break up, but Bagas held back.

"Please don't interfere." Say Soft Bagas.

"But.." His panicked gaze was not hidden by the taxi driver's father.

"Trust me sir. If you interfere, the father will be affected as well." Say Bagas reassuringly. The taxi driver just nodded in response while continuing to pay attention to Alvi who was increasingly staggering.

The punch that Galih planned as the final blow, his hand suddenly pulled which he thought was Bagas. With his left hand, Galih slapped the face of a man who pulled his hand.

Just as his hand was being pulled, there was a familiar scream, and the slap was already out of control. All eyes wide watched Avril who fell in the hands of her own brother.
