Endless Taste

. Demira smiled in response to the nervousness of the two friends she knew were still in a relationship.

"By... How are you with Bagas?" Tanya Reno switched the conversation. Aldi and Avril heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

"none. Don't you know, it's just high school love. And anyway we broke up before I moved to London."

"London?" Ask three of his friends at the same time.

"Yes... London." london." Demira replied again.

"No Demi. Didn't you move to Singapore?" Avril asked a little recalling a few years ago before they parted ways.

"Ahh ahaha I forgot Avil..." Demira partially covered her face. "I moved again. And that's why I'm so upset with my dad."

"So, who is the man who managed to make a Demira accept her as her future husband? Do I know him?" Asked Avril with ridicule.

"Don't make fun of me, Avil.I want to let go of your longing. I'll introduce you to him later. But, he said he also came here. It probably means he knows your family. I don't know for sure." Demira replied with a little doubt.

"Yes.. okay..."

"Hey.you haven't answered my question. When did you get married? Aldi, you don't make Avil sad okay? If you make Avil cry, I'll be the first to slap you." Demira put her hand around Avril's waist.

"I miss this mood." Lirih Avril stared alternately at her three best friends. "And why didn't Bagas come to Reno?" Avril asked with an annoyed face.

"Something's up. Don't worry, he's already apologizing to you."

"When?" Avril scrunched her forehead in surprise. As she remembered, Bagas had not met her or called her to just apologize.

"Now. From yesterday she begged me to apologize to you. Well, you yourself know he doesn't dare to apologize to you directly. Because he knew you'd be mad." Avril smiled silly when remembering how Bagas behaved when pleading. Without warning the four friends exchanged lyrics, then laughed together to remember the ridiculous Bagas.

"Ahhh I miss him Avil." said Demira leaning on Avril's boat.

"I miss you for the sake of."

"Me too..."

Amidst the conversation, a very familiar woman approached them.

"Aldi... Aren't you with Anisa?" Mom asked suddenly as she patted Aldi on the shoulder.

"Mama?" Avril, Aldi and Reno.

"Anise?" Demira scrunched her forehead a sign of not knowing who Anisa was. "Do you have any more children after Aldi?" Demira continued full of curiosity.

"Ah... no.." answered Mama stammered as she stared fixedly at Demira.

"He's my friend." Avril chimed.

"Ohhhh, it's good that you have friends while I'm not Avil...." Avril simply smiled in response to Demira's words.

In her smile, Demira kept thinking about what kept bothering her mind.

"Mama still remembers me?" Demira asked Mama by pointing at herself.

"Who?" Mama scrunched her forehead, remembering who the sweet girl who was with her son.

"I'm Demira mom." Whiney Demira with spoiled.

"Demira?"

"Yes Demira. Mama Salma's son." Mama shut her mouth when she heard her old friend's name coming out.

"Oh my goodness, Demira. aren't you in London? Where's your mother now?"

"I myself. Mama and Dad did not come to Indo."

"salma Fundamentals. Was he not worried about letting his daughter go alone like this. Then, where are you staying, son?"

"I'm. emm.. maybe at the hotel, otherwise, just stay at my cousin's house."

"Why don't you just stay at my mom's."

"Ahaha no ma.. thanks.. I couldn't possibly bear to see Aldi's annoying face." Ejek Demira glanced at Aldi.

"You're mocking me?" But Demira just turned her face annoyed.

"By will be with me ma." Avril said back to chiming.

"Ohh well.mama understands. Yes, my mom lived first. You have to get along well." said the mother then left the four friends back.

Demira was still curious as to who Anisa was. Why are the three friends in front of him like hiding something from him.

"Ohhh, to be honest, I'm still curious. Why did the Goddess mama ask your friend Avil? T-this may be an unimportant or silly question. But it feels like there's something you're hiding from me." Demira stared fixedly at Avril's face which slowly showed her panic.

"Ah. ahaha ti-nothing. i-it may be your feeling." Avril replied stiffly with eyeballs trying to avoid looking at Demira.

"I'm your best friend Avil. So, tell me now, or I'll be mad at you and never see you again." Threatening Demira made Avril surprised then tightly clenched her mouth.

"But it is only necessary to reveal the fact that Aldi and I are no longer together. Butwhy? I'm sorry Demi. Maybe it's not time you know." Avril muttered her face hoping not to show her sad face to Demira.

"If you want to get out of my life, go Demi. I'm used to solitude." Avril said then passed with a sad face away from her three best friends.

"Avil isn't..." Reno drew Demira's hand as she was about to catch up with Avril.

"Let her. Believe me he's not mad at you." Reno said convincingly. Demira stared softly at Avril's departure.

"When has he been like that?" Mumbled Demira who came with Reno. Aldi parted ways with the two, and went nowhere.

Avril tried to call Alvi a few times but still there was no answer.

"Where are you Alvi?" Lirih Avril while staring at the screen of her phone.

"Don't walk alone, miss. If you know, then my salary will be deducted." Ray said suddenly not far from where Avril was standing.

"If your master were around, I wouldn't be alone, Ray."

"So you're looking for mister?"

"of course. Do you know where he is now?"

"Grand-master....."

"Come on Ray..."

"Tu-sir..."

"What meda?"

"Well asleep."

"What?" Avril scrunched her forehead in wonder.

"Looks like sir's exhausted, miss. So I told him to rest"

"Where is Ray?"

"On the roof, miss."

"What's? Watered? Is he crazy?"

"It looks so miss." Ray said casually.

"Master has been crazy for a long time." Ray muttered with a smile.

Without speaking again, Avril passed by leaving Ray.

"Miss don't go, it's schedule-in a minute"

"Forget Ray's schedule." His voice was disappearing because it was getting further away and passing behind the crowd.

. Arriving at the roof, Avril found Alvi who was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed, and the hand that supported her cheek.

"Hard-headed." Avril said annoyedly approaching Alvi.

Avril sat in front of Alvi with an angry expression. It felt like cursing Alvi now, but Avril felt melted when she saw Alvi who really looked exhausted.

Avril switched and sat down beside Alvi. Leaning Alvi's head on her shoulder.

"I told you not to force." Avril's faint speech was heard by Alvi who was reluctant to open her eyes.

After almost 1 hour, Alvi opened her eyes to find a light blue dress beside her. Slowly, Alvi turned to look at the face of the owner of the dress.

"Kissed yet?" Tanya Avril threw a sweet smile yet with another meaning.

"Hehe why are you here?"

"Emmm I want to scold you son."

"What's? The boy? Ha ha you.. all right! Hemmm mama...what was my mistake that made you want to scold me?" Ejek Alvi in a serious tone accompanied by a smile that seemed to hold back a laugh.

"Didn't Mom say don't work too hard. You were sleeping while the show was going on, right?" Resolutely Avril followed the path of her silly game.

"It's not that easy to forgive you, son. You're so guilty. You made mama worry about you." Avril patted Alvi's cheek slowly.

Avril's behavior makes Alvi very anxious and can not hold back her laughter. Alvi grabbed Avril's shoulder and now faced each other.

"Thank you Avril. I'm very happy. Don't leave me, okay?" Avril was silent for a moment from her laughter. Trying to digest the meaning of Alvi's sudden words.

"We'd better get back, Mr. Revano. It's time we-"

"Married?" Alvi cuts off Avril's speech so Avril reflex hits Alvi's arm.

"Ihhh no. Why do you think you're just married. We have to take a picture with Galih's brother."

"the photo? What's for?"

"Yes for memories."

"Don't make any photos, I'll always remember how beautiful you are today. Your eyes, your hair, your smile. I'll remember everything." Avril fell silent as Alvi got closer, her heart again beating harder until it was heard by her.

Only a few cm distance between the faces of Alvi and Avril. Alvi smiled looking into Avril's eyes

"You nervous? Usually if I'm gonna kiss you, you always slap me." Avril turned her face away and puffed her cheeks slightly.

'The 'cup' of a warm landing kiss was approved by Avril.

"Come on. Your brother must be cursing at me right now." Alvi stood up from her seat.

The two returned with hands that did not seem to want to let go of each other.

Not yet in the main room, Avril went to the toilet and told Alvi to wait for her.

Alvi leaned back with focus on Avril's phone in her hand.

When he returned, Avril approached Alvi who was still engrossed in seeing the photos.

"What are you doing, sir?" Avril asked surprised Alvi.

"Have you?"

"Answer question!"

"What else, baby. Why are you always so upset with me."

"What are you doing with my phone?"

"No. I'm just curious about my future wife's secret." Alvi pinched the gnarled cheek of Avril.

"Awww.sick.." whiney Avril rubbed her cheek.

"Not too hard." Alvi said as she rubbed Avril's cheek.

'Plak' with Avril suddenly slapping Alvi.

"Awwww why did you slap me."

"What's? Sick? Not too hard." Avril imitated the tone of speech that Alvi had thrown earlier.

"Ohhhhh so you're revenge?" Alvi asked with a scary grin. Avril knew what that sneaky smile meant, and as soon as possible moved away from Alvi.

"Uhhhh I am afraid.." taunted Avril as she walked away from Alvi.

"Where are you bad boy?.."

"I'll leave you."

'Deg' somehow the words that were thrown out made Alvi surprised. Alvi quickly caught up and then grabbed her shoulders.

"Don't"

"Eh? Don't what?" Avril looked confused by Alvi's words.

"Don't leave me. Bad boy!" Lirih Alvi, but Avril only smiled in response.

. When he reached the main room, Ray quickly approached Alvi and told the two to meet Galih as soon as possible.

"Did I sleep too long?" Alvi asked Avril. Avril just dodged the sign of not knowing.

"You really suck Avril."

"A wife wouldn't be a bitch if her husband wasn't a bitch." Avril's words passed towards Galih's place.

"What's? Say it again!" Alvi followed Avril from behind.

"What's? I didn't say anything."

"Yayayayaa..."

"Ehh you imitate me sir." said Avril turned her head back.

"Look your way, miss, don't stumble.!" Ejek Alvi made Avril turn back to the front.

"Yayayayaya."

Alvi shook her head in wonder at the behavior of the beloved girl in front of him.

Besides the joking and closeness of Alvi and Avril, there were various whispers and became boisterous in the room. Especially when the two couples take pictures together.

"The matching pair. Is Alvian Miss Avril's lover? Why is he taking pictures together?" Asked one of the mistresses who was sitting not far from Demira.

Carefully Demira listened to the chatter from several angles.

"Looks not. Looking at her cold face, there was no way they were dating. I know Alvian was very good at this event. He arranged all his preparations and needs. Including asking the Andara police chief to escort Galih directly." Obviously another mistress.

"Yes. That's my dad's mistress." Said Reno smiling who had restrained herself from listening to their chatter.

"You're Andara's son?" Reno nodded in response to that question.

"Ahh sorry. We didn't mean to."

"It's okay madam. Don't hesitate, please mistress back to enjoy the show."

From the other side Demira again heard rumors about his best friend. In front of him was still standby Reno who was casually staring at Avril.

"Reno. Explain to me the truth." Reno frowned in surprise at Demira's question.

"What truth?"

"Who's Anisa? And what happened to Avril? and what are you hiding from me?"

"I don't understand what you mean by Demi.."

"Reno." Delik Demira lazy.

"I have no right to say it for the sake of." Reno turned her face away not wanting to discuss what was not her business.

"So there's really something you're hiding from me? And what does Avil have to do with Alvian?"

"Alvians. You knew her?" Reno frowned in wonder.

"Of course I know him."

"You're serious?"

Demira nodded her mark confirming Reno's question. Shortly after Reno only fell silent, Demira was wide at the sight she had not wanted to see all this time. No other, seeing Aldi stroking Syifa's head. It was clear that Aldi turned his head back and forth when talking to Syifa. As if nobody else knew what he was doing.

Demira moved with an angry face, and Reno was confused by it. Reno turned to Demira and found Aldi and Syifa there. Suddenly his heart was agitated.

"Dam... Demira must have thought that Aldi betrayed Avril. Eh... That's it, right? Arghhhh really shit." Reno muttered while following Demira's steps.

Demira pulls Aldi's shirt and drags him out of the building as if he doesn't care around. Syifa was surprised by the attitude of the girl she did not know.

Avril accidentally saw the scene, and hurriedly ran after Demira.

"I'll be back later." Avril said to Galih then passed by.

After arriving outside the building, Demira's 'Plak' suddenly slapped Aldi.

"Have you forgotten what I said to Aldi? And who is he? Your affair? Aren't you and Avil-"

"For enough!" Shouted Avril not far from them.

"Avil... Aren't you angry?" Demi asked in surprise at Avril's attitude. Avril took a few long breaths.

"My relationship with Aldi is over for Demi."

"What do you mean?" Demira doesn't believe it.
