Endless Taste

27

. Aldi deliberately waited for Avril just to talk to him. But unexpectedly, Avril was picked up by Alvi who is clearly now her future husband.

"When shall I be behind your shadow Avil? I came back to this town just to see you, and keep my word. But why is this getting complicated?." Aldi murmured, which then passed.

"Not usually you suddenly want to be picked up like this. Did something happen in the campus?" Tanya Alvi broke the silence when the car was already on its way.

"Yahhh that's it." Avril replied forcing her smile when she turned to Alvi.

"What's your senior again?" Alvi asked turned her head and looked deeply at Avril. Avril simply nodded lazily in response to Alvi's question.

"What's he doing? Did he hurt you?" Tanya Alvi was worried.

"Hisshhh no. I'm fine." Answer Avril. Alvi slightly frowned in response to Avril's attitude.

"And why are you mad at me too?" Alvi asked as if provoking the emotions of her lover.

"Because you're here." Avril replied glaring, then turned her gaze back.

"Hemmm so, if Aldi were here, then you would be angry at Aldi too?" Sontak Avril turned her head violently and hit Alvi's arm.

"Why did you have a hobby to hit me once, Avril? Do you really hate me? To Aldi, you can be very gentle. Why are you always so rude and annoying to me? Though I am the one who desperately heals the wound of your heart because of Aldi." Alvi let out a rough sigh and still remained focused on driving.

"You angry?" Tanya Avril put on an adorable face.

"I'm not angry Avril." Alvi replied in a high tone as if someone was frustrated.

"Then? What does that mean? You yell at me like that. You're angry, aren't you?"

"Enough Avril." Alvi said still with a high tone.

"If you're not angry, you can't talk in such a high tone." Avril's words made Alvi sigh several times. Then threw his smile at Avril.

"I'm not angry, baby."

"Your smile scared Alvi." Avril rubbed Alvi's face rough.

"really? Didn't you say that my smile was so sweet?" Goda Alvi with her signature grin.

"T-no. I-I didn't say that." Said Avril nervously turning her face away.

"really? Well, I should have smiled sweetly in front of the girls while waiting for you." Alvi said casually.

"Just smile as much as you can." Annoyed Avril leaned her head against the mirror of the car.

Alvi smiled complacently and laughed without a sound.

Alvi tried to glance at Avril who turned her head out the glass.

"You pissed?" Ask Alvi.

"Clear." Reply Avril indifferently.

Right, this time Avril did not know what she herself was upset about. It seems that the truth of Aldi who has admitted Syifa still makes it crowded. But now Avril also witnessed how the girls on her campus admired Alvi.

"OK I'm sorry." Alvi sounded stiff.

"Forgot it." It sounded like Avril was breathing heavily.

"But you're still upset." Plain alvi.

"Ihhhhh what do you think I'm upset about? You're so enjoying being a sight among the girls at my college." Avril raised her voice and looked resentfully at Alvi who was casually driving.

Alvi smiled her smile when she saw Avril was so upset by it.

"Why are you jealous, baby? No other girl can get my attention." Goda Alvi turned his head with a small grin.

"A handsome crocodile like you can be trusted." Delik Avril's.

"What-what? I'm handsome?" Alvi let out a small laugh hearing what Avril said.

Avril only glared with a flat face and hid her embarrassment.

Alvi continued to laugh in response to Avril's attitude which now began to look annoyed at him.

"Goodoo. That means my feelings are avenged." Muttered Alvi sighing in relief.

"You're so ugly when you're angry at Avril." Cetus Alvi without glancing at Avril.

"But many like me." Relax Avril responded to Alvi.

"Yes I know...."

"And you're jealous?" Avril's lyrics to Alvi's focused driving.

"Ohhhhh is clear. You're mine!" Alvi Assert.

"Yayayayayayayaya"

"Who taught you that?" Alvi asked in great surprise.

"You."

"When?"

The two did not stop arguing but did not forget to tucked some jokes until finally Alvi entered the yard of Avril's house.

"Prepare yourself for tomorrow." Alvi said as if holding back Avril's intention to move from her seat.

"Tomorrow?" Avril frowned in surprise and tilted her head as if asking 'what's up with tomorrow?' To her, tomorrow was her brother's wedding day.

"Yes tomorrow. After your sister made her marriage vow, then it was my turn to marry you." Alvi's reply left Avril shocked with a face of panic and disbelief.

"What?" The screams of Avril filled Alvi's hearing. Alvi covered her ears that felt pierced by sharp objects.

"You're small, but your voice hurts my ears." Alvi continued to rub rough his ears, then occasionally glanced at the flustered Avril.

Avril asked herself, is it true that Alvi said that she will get married tomorrow. Why sudden? He was not even ready to get married at a young age.

"He just believed?" Alvi muttered no less astonished.

"I'm still in Alvi's college." Avril said slowly.

"And you believe?" Alvi asked, unable to hold back her smile. It feels so good to be judging Avril.

"What's? So then? You lying?" Instantly, Avril's face became irritated.

"Ahaha of course not. I'm really going to marry you tomorrow, so your senior, and your three friends don't keep bothering you."

"It's crazy you're Alvi." Avril murmured a sharp glance towards Alvi.

"Is your heart trying to curse me?" Tanya Alvi replied to Avril's glance.

"Yes. Wh why? You hate me?"

"You why Avril? Who hates you? The one here you hate me."

"I don't hate you Alvi. Why don't you understand my attitude. It's obvious why accepting your proposal means I love you."

"No. I don't trust Avril. You hate me. And you still love Aldi."

"Why do you keep talking about Aldi? He's just me."

"Then? Who's your future?"

"Of course you."

"Who? I didn't hear it." Ejek Alvi brought his face closer.

"Ihhhhh you heard it clearly. But you're pretending." Avril banged Alvi's arm.

"Hey... Why are you so angry? If you keep being rude like this, how do I believe you love me?" Ejek Alvi tried to stop Avril's blow.

Avril turned her face in annoyance. I don't want to see the face of Alvi, which she thinks is very annoying.

"That's it. Quick down! I still have a lot of work." Avril turned her head for a moment and found Alvi's weary eyes that were faint.

"You're expelling me, sir?" Avril asked seriously but in a tone of ridicule. Avril knows that Alvi is very tired now, but she still took the time to pick him up.

"That's it. Even if you're busy, you shouldn't have picked me up." Avril said as she opened the car door and slightly moved from her seat.

"Avril. I'm glad you need me. Don't be mad." Alvi convincingly stared inside Avril's face, and pulled Avril's hand. Avril was speechless returning Alvi's gaze, then threw her smile.

"I'm not angry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't force you, when I know you're busy."

"No Avril! I don't mind."

Avril nodded slowly and smiled a sign of understanding with what Alvi explained.

"So, can I get out of your car, sir? Aren't you busy?"

Slowly Alvi let go of his grasp, and with a heavy heart let Avril move. But suddenly, Alvi again pulled Avril's hand back to make Avril sit back.

"Moreover sir?" Delik Avril lazily.

"You didn't give me a good-bye?" Alvi brought her face closer and pointed at her cheeks.

"So what do you want?"

"Kiss"

'Plak'. "it seems like this farewell is sweeter than a kiss of the master." Avril smiled so sweetly.

"You're really rude Avril..." Alvi rubbed her cheek which felt a little hot due to Avril's slap.

"Don't fuck with me Alvi." Resolutely Avril made Alvi smile widely.

"You're not funny Alvi. That smile of yours makes me want to hit you again." Said Avril glancing and rising from her seat. This time Alvi let Avril leave her. Alvi opened the car glass, and Avril slightly lowered her body.

"Take care of your health." Back Avril warned with a worried face.

"Well Miss Revano." said Alvi in response to Avril. "I'll pick you up tomorrow, so prepare yourself." Alvi continued to make Avril's heart beat and then beat hard. Remembering one of the invitations was the Aldi family.

"Not only my clothes should be prepared, but my heart as well. Will I be ready to see the closeness of Aldi and Syifa that is clearly now getting closer. Or see Kak Amel who will definitely continue to approach Alvi." Avril murmured who was clearly daydreaming.

"Have not thought about it. I'm just kidding. I know you still want to focus on college, right?" Avril glanced at Alvi and looked at him worriedly.

"Be careful." Lirih Avril's.

"You said something?" Alvi scrunched her forehead trying to remember what Avril said just now, because Alvi did not really hear it.

"Be careful. Don't work too hard and get late." Now Avril's tone is slightly elevated. Alvi nodded in response to Avril's advice.

"Take care of your heart when I'm not around." Alvi said before leaving Avril who was still staring to watch Alvi's car passing from the gate of her house.

. On the other hand, Amel walked towards the main door.

"Where are you going?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from the living room chair.

"It's none of your business." Amel answered not looking at Aldi.

"If you want to see Alvi, you better say your intentions. Alvi is with Avril now."

"I have no intention of seeing Alvi. I just want to be alone."

Aldi went up and approached Amel.

"Look at you. Do you think I'm gonna let you go alone with your very appalling condition like this?" Said Aldi staring fixedly at his older sister who was getting more and more weakened. His body was getting thinner, his face was getting pale.

"I hope you'll obey Dad. Who knows if you're on medication there, you'll be cured." Said Aldi embracing Amel's shoulder slowly. Amel smiled and turned to Aldi.

"Free. I'm cured, my life will be happy. So I'd better be-"

"Have you ever thought for once that your family is the source of your happiness? Why should Alvi be what you consider your happiness? Do I, father and mother mean nothing in your life?" Ask Aldi.

But Amel just fell silent and slowly let out his tears.

"I'm ready to go right now Aldi."

"Yes, I hope you leave too." Amel was surprised then looked at Aldi in surprise.

"I don't want to keep seeing you like this. If you want to die, die now brother. So I can be relieved to let you go. Your choice is just that, die now or obey my father said. But anyway, I love you feet." Aldi tried to contain his sadness. "I can't really watch you live in pain." Next Aldi who now sounds a small sob.

"I'm sorry if this has worried you all along. But I'm fine now."

"Don't act like you're really okay."

"I want to be Aldi myself."

"No. I'll accompany you wherever you go."

"Yahhh you make me nostalgic. You used to be like this. And when my mom and I found out you had a boyfriend, you weren't following me anymore." Said Amel chuckling remembering some of the memories that came to his mind.

"You're right, brother. If only I could turn back time."

"me too. Maybe if time went back at least 7 years ago, maybe I wasn't this crazy" Amel said withholding his smile, then fell silent and slowly laughed along with Aldi.

"So? Hows it? Are you gonna obey?" Aldi asked still in an anxious tone. Amel shook his head slowly while still putting on a faint smile.

"Let's go. I don't know. I still want to live, but I don't want to live like this either. It hurts more than my illness."

"Then I'll come with you."

"Where?"

"Where only. As long as you."

"You're like a little boy at."

"Aren't I a child in your eyes?"

"Yes, it's true, because if you're fully grown, you can't continue to regret the decisions you made yourself. I wish it was all just a dream."

"It looks like you hate me brother."

"of course. You don't know?"

"Ah.. I really don't know brother."

"Basic naughty sister."

Both were joking but tucked in a sorrow that could not be revealed by both. In the middle room, the mother silently listened to the chatter of her two children. The relationship between Aldi and Amel was short, because the two were not on his side for many years.

. In short!

A sunny morning was greeted with a busy side of the residence of Avril. Not only Galih, but, as the younger brother of the bride, Avril was dressed so gracefully. She wore a light blue dress that Nadia bought, with hair styled with hairpins that complement her beauty.

When Avril took Galih's hand out of the house, the two were like real brides.

Avril was stunned, then quietly stared at the car.

'Deg' Avril touched his chest as if in pain.

"You okay?" Ask Galih with a worried face.

"My heart beats." Answer Avril plain.

"If your heart doesn't beat, you're dead."

"No. It's different. Faster." Lirih Avril slightly turned her gaze away.

"It looks like there's an abnormality in your heart, son. Maybe it's a rare disease. It could be deadly."

"Sister.I'm not kidding."

"I'm serious too. Because it's love's disease."

Probably true. It's a love sickness. Avril was so fascinated to see Alvi in matching clothes with her.

Plus her sweet smile.
