Endless Taste

03

. 2 Weeks passed, finally I could breathe fresh air. Whether I should be happy or upset today, I'm happy that I've been allowed to go home. But I'm also upset, why should Alvi pick me up?.

Alvi pushed my wheelchair, followed by Noah beside her.

"Why did you pick me up?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Your father told me to." Answer Alvi flat.

"What's a busy dad? And why did you want to be told to by dad?" Ocehku constantly.

"I don't know. I'm busy too, but I can't resist." A few moments quiet.

"If it wasn't me, who else would've picked you up?" Tanya Alvi glanced at the watch. I just fell silent.

"Noah can take me." My speech's flat.

"Noah was busy with his patients" Alvi said quickly before Noah spoke. Noah glared at Alvi.

"Do you want Aldi to pick you up?" Continue Alvi in a flat tone.

"You better not say that name again." I heard a heavy breath I was breathing.

"All right, miss.." sneered Alvi.

"Noah? Am I really recovering?" I looked a little to the right.

"Don't force Avril. Your feet are not fully able to walk. I suggest that you don't try to walk without help." Obviously Noah who is still following Alvi's steps beside him.

Until the front of the loby, Ray had parked his car right at the end of the terrace loby.

Ray opened the back door and allowed his master to enter.

"Let me carry it." Said Noah slightly stepping forward.

"No need. I can do it." Alvi's speech made Noah sculpt.

Alvi took Avril into the car. Then Ray closes the car door and returns to the steering wheel.

Alvi's car drove away from the hospital. Noah was still staring at the departure of the black car.

"I can't win from you Alvi." Noah said, then turned back to enter the hospital.

On the way, no one spoke. Ray glanced at the rearview mirror watching the two people behind him.

"Es and ice, I feel like I'm in the north pole." Ray murmured inwardly with a smile.

"You smiling?" Alvi asked staring at Ray.

"No sir." Answer Ray.

The car is back.

"Sorry miss, are you hungry?" Ray asked a glance at the rearview mirror on Avril's face.

"Little." Avril glanced at Ray.

"Do you want to eat before you get home?" Ask Ray back.

"No. I just want to eat at home." Avril said glaring out the glass.

Alvi just stared at Avril. I don't know what Alvi is feeling right now.

Seeing Avril makes him feel happy, but there is a sense of pity and pity because of loneliness like him, there is also a sense that Alvi cannot understand. His heart was always pounding when he met Avril.

Long Alvi looked at Avril. Unknowingly, his smile was on his sweet lips as he looked at Avril who was only leaning her head on the car glass.

Ray smiled again when he saw his master behaving differently than usual.

Before long, the car arrived at Avril's house.

It looks like the aunt ran over and paid a little respect to Alvi. Alvi smiled kindly at aunt.

Ray opens the car door, Avril steps out of the car but her hands are held by Alvi.

"Don't. Let me help you". Alvi came out first.

"I can Alvi myself." But Alvi ignored Avril.

Alvi is back in Avril's arms. Not yet entering the house, Alvi stopped hearing the sound of a car stopping right next to her car.

Avril glanced over Alvi's arm who had come. His eyes widened, then wrapped his hands and buried his face in Alvi's lap. Alvi felt astonished, then turned her body to look at the guest behind her.

"Avil" Aldi looked at Avril who did not glance at him one bit.

"Awl. I want to explain everything." Continue Aldi.

Avril was still silent. Staring at the object in front of his eyes.

"I beg you to listen to my explanation." Aldi stepped closer.

"Seeing Avril's attitude, you should already know what that means." Said Alvi staring coldly at Aldi. Aldi was no less cold looking at Alvi.

"Who are you?" Ask Aldi.

"And who are you?" Alvi asked the question. Aldi was silent.

"It's clear, if it says who Avril's lover is, the answer lies in the visible evidence." Alvi.

"What do you mean?" Aldi scrunched his forehead.

"Aren't you engaged?" Aldi.

"My relationship with Avril. Not with you." Aldi put on a firm face.

"Hmmphh even the ones you want to meet don't glance at you one bit." Alvi is no less strict.

Aldi spoke no more, his hands clenched.

"I just need to listen to you, right?" Avril looked at Aldi. "Alvi put me down on the couch. It's not good to accept guests like this." Alvi just stared at Avril.

Alvi walked towards the living room. Put down Avril, and sit next to Avril. Avril looked coldly at Aldi who was sitting right in front of her.

"Say what you want to say." Cold Avril.

"I want to talk to you both." Aldi begged a little.

"There is or is no Alvi, it is the same." Answer Avril flat.

Aldi glanced at Alvi who was looking at him triumphantly.

"So, aren't you going to talk?" Avril asked still staring flatly. "If you're bothered by Alvi, let's just say she doesn't exist." This makes Alvi a little tickle.

"Awl. Are you really waiting for me for 5 years.?" Tanya Aldi held back tears.

"If so, then why?" Reply Avril flatly.

"Do you have no other lover than me?" Tanya Aldi glanced at Alvi.

"You think?"

"That doesn't answer my question Avil."

"you reckon? If I had a boyfriend other than you, there's no way I'd make it this way." Said Avril with a tone of restraining annoyance.

"I'm sorry Avil. And I made the wrong decision. I still love you, Avil." Now the water can no longer be contained.

"What do you mean?" Tanya Alvi looked at Aldi who did not pretend to cry.

"That's really his tears. How much does Aldian love Avril?" muttered Alvi. Avril just frowned, then regained her composure.

"If I had known that the person you were with right now was not your lover, I would not have accepted this matchmaking." Aldi rubbed both of his cheeks.

"Stupid?" Alvi and Avril together.

"Yes. I'm on Avil's match. I have no intention of betraying you. From the beginning I was given a choice between your nightar or accepting this match." Aldi was staring at Avril.

"No intention of betraying me? Then what is this reality? The fact that you'd rather have that match than me." Broke was already crying that Avril could bear.

"I've been waiting for you so far, praying for you every day, hoping you'd come home. Maybe my prayer was wrong. I only asked for your safety and you came back to see me, not to propose to me. Maybe I was the one who was hoping for more on the hope that was clearly not on my side." Avril rubbed her cheek.

"You ask me why I accepted this match?" Alvi breathed a moment. "I was at your house at the time, but aunt said you had an event at your father's office. I rushed to see you, intending to ask for an answer to my question. But when I was there, what did I get? You keep being with this guy on the show, even he keeps holding your hand up in the elevator. And you didn't reject it either. That's when I thought you already had my replacement by your side. I think it's only natural that if you turn away, I've left you for 5 years without word." Alvi turned her face away.

"What do you want to ask me?" Lirih Avril's.

"The question that keeps me in doubt. If I proposed to you, would you accept me?" Tanya Aldi stared fixedly at Avril.

Avril bowed her head, held with her right hand. Everything seemed chaotic, dizzying, and gave him a headache. The view faded, and then it darkened.

Avril fell asleep into Alvi's lap. Aldi got up and ran to Avril.

"Awl... Avil." Aldi shook Avril's body several times.

"That's it. That's free. Avril's unconscious." Alvi said then carried Avril to her room.

"You think you're who Alvian is?" Strictly Aldi is still standing in his place.

"I'm nobody." Alvian continued on his steps. "You better go home. I'll take care of Avril. And you don't have to worry, she'll be fine with me." Alvi continued without looking back and passed to Avril's room followed by aunt from behind.

Aldi clenched his hands staring resentfully at Alvi.

"Damn you Alvi!" Aldi muttered and left Avril's house.

. The next day, Avril forced to go to campus. Alvi was already in front of the terrace.

"What are you doing?" Avril stopped right between the doors.

"I'm worried about you, stupid girl." Alvi turned a little at Avril.

"I can do it myself." Avril walked past Alvi.

"Bas stubborn." Alvi pulled Avril's hand. "You don't think I know you're holding a pain in your leg right now." Furthermore Alvi made Avril speechless.

"So? Are you going to force yourself to drive yourself, miss?" Alvi slightly fixed her face on Avril.

"All right! Because you insist, I can't resist!" Avril walked over with her arrogant face. Ray opened the car door. "Thank you Ray!" Avril smiled at Ray, and Ray only replied with a smile.

"What the fuck? I should have gotten that smile." Alvi muttered looking at Ray. Alvi then walked up to Ray "I cut off your salary Ray." Whisper Alvi before finally getting into the car.

"Eh? What's my fault, sir?" Ray is confused.

Ray drove the car at moderate speed. As before, Avril simply fell silent staring out. This time, however, Avril put on an annoyed face. Tuck his hand on his chest.

"When did Galih's father and brother come home? Did they deliberately leave me and let Alvi as she pleased with me?" Avril muttered slightly clutching her arm.

"You still love Aldi?" Avril looked over to find a question from Alvi.

"Why are you asking?" Avril looked at Alvi inside.

"I just want to know." Alvi replied without looking at Avril.

"It's none of your business." Avril turned her eyes back to focusing on the street outside.

"It's my business when it comes to your feelings." Lirih Alvis.

"What?" Avril looked a little screaming.

"What?" Alvi scrunched her eyebrows.

Ray smiled at his master's behavior.

"Just tell me, sir, that you love Miss Avril." Mumbled Ray.

Arriving in front of the campus gate, all eyes were fixed on seeing Avril get down from the car with a president of their idol. Truly unexpected, an Avril Vania who always rejected every man who liked her, including her senior at the time, now chose with Alvian Revano, who was a fan of her, a successful young president made company D the third best company in the city. Known to be cold to anyone. Even Alvian was known to have never been interested in any woman.

"Thank you Ray." Again Avril gave her sweet smile to Ray. Ray just smiled in response to Avril. "What's wrong, miss."

Alvi stared intently at Ray. Ray touched his shoulder. "My shoulders are suddenly hot" murmured Ray.

"You're not thanking me, miss?" Alvi looked at Avril flatly. Avril stared intently at Alvi, then turned to leave Alvi's car and passed without looking back.

"Ray. I cut your salary 50%." Grumpy Alvi.

"Heeehhhhh? What's my fault, sir?" Ray is getting confused.

"You've stolen the Avril smile that I should've gotten." Avril Strictly.

"What's? Just because of a smile, my salary was cut just like that.😭" Ray drove his car to D's corporate office.

At the campus, Aldi intercepts Avril.

"The aldi? You went to college here?" Ask Avril in disbelief.

"Awl. I want to talk." Aldi looked at Avril.

"What else do you want?" Avril looked annoyed.

"Something I want to ask."

"Yes what? Isn't everything clear. I heard your explanation, and now what else? Come on, my mood is not good today." Avril was about to pass Aldi, but Aldi got in the way.

"Do you still love me?" Aldi's question made Avril even more upset.

"The same question. Why are you asking that?"

"If you still love me, I'll call off this match. I'll pick you, I'll propose to you, and I-" 'PLAK' hasn't had time for Aldi to continue, Avril's loud slap making Aldi speechless.

Avril really looks upset.

"You think such a thing can be played as you please?. It was your decision, you chose it. Didn't you say it yourself? You're not gonna take back your words, and now you're reneging on your own?" Avril ran despite her leg pain.

Arriving at the class, Avril cried. Either because of Aldi, or because his legs are constantly hurting.

"Avril..." Reno approached Avril.

"Reno!" Avril held the end of Reno's jacket.

"Shouldn't go in first, you haven't recovered yet." Reno crouched right in front of Avril. Bagas ran over to Avril and Reno.

"Avril... Does your leg still hurt?" Bagas crouched down. Avril shakes.

"Not my feet, but my heart." Lirih Avril's.

"What do you mean?" Tanya Baren (Bagas Reno) together.

"You don't pretend you don't know." Avril rubbed both of her cheeks.

"Sorry Avril. But I can't do anything either." Reno looked at Avril.

"I can't prevent it either." Bagas turned his eyes.

There were footsteps approaching the three friends.

"Avril." Syifa hugged Avril full day. "You okay? Why are you crying? If it hasn't recovered, don't push." Avril is sobbing. It was only Syifa who always calmed her heart.

Avril's eyes look puffy. Even some lecturers mocked Avril, but Avril did not heed the ridicule of her lecturer.

1 week Avril withstood the pain in her leg, now must hold back the curiosity because Alvi no longer come to visit her.

"Why am I thinking about it?" Avril shook her head. "I don't care about him." He said to himself in the room. "Damn! I'm getting lonely without him." Avril laid her body on the sofa.
