Endless Taste

. "Miss.." boisterously called Avril's name.

"Don't because your position is higher you can easily demean others. Do you think degrading someone like this will make you taller? And will make me considered high? No Alvi." There was no response from Alvi, her gaze was getting sharper and the atmosphere was getting back gripping. But there no one dared to look at Alvi except Avril herself.

"I object. So I'm gonna quit this company and resign." Avril who helped Devia stand up.

"Miss.." said Devia.

"Miss.you interrupted my meeting." Alvi looked at Avril with cold and roaring breaths of annoyance. Avril looked down not daring to look back. Devia glanced at Avril who was in direct contact with her.

"Miss trembling?" Devia murmured still staring at Avril.

"Get out." Alvi Assert. Avril flinched then sighed heavily. Not looking at Alvi, Avril turned around and was about to leave. All gazes stared in wonder at Avril.

"Where are you Miss Revano?" Avril's steps stopped.

"Didn't you tell me to come out?" Ask Avril who did not turn her back and keep her back to Alvi.

"What am I doing? I feel like I'm embarrassing myself. If I knew the meeting wasn't over, where would I have come." Murmured Avril who was embarrassed half to death until her face reddened.

"Who told you to come out?" Avril was increasingly astonished and stopped to see one by one the leaders out of the room. Avril turned around, and Alvi was still in her position. Avril glanced at Irfan who was now parallel to him. Irfan turned his wistful face away as he looked at Avril.

"Devia and Rania meet me in my room. ." Said Mr. Joseph when Devia was about to come out.

"Understand sir." Answer both down.

"If deign. Please forgive my mistake, sir." Alvi did not respond to the words of Mr. Joseph and then passed before Devia and Rania who were still standing still and weighing the courage to speak to Avril who slowly released her hand from Devia.

"Miss..." Avril turned to Devia who called out to her softly and sounded trembling.

"I hope that you can forgive my mistakes." Devia looked down with guilt. Avril smiled in response to Devia.

"I'm not a bad person who doesn't forgive someone. And anyway this is just a misunderstanding, so I understand."

"Thank you, miss. And once again please forgive me for being so presumptuous to idolize Mr. Alvi." Now Devia's voice sounded half whispered.

"It's okay to just idolize, but there's only one thing I can't forgive." Avril said with a small laugh. Devia only frowned without daring to ask back at Avril. Right now, being forgiven by Avril and Alvi alone already included luck for him. And being fired with no humiliation was also an honor for him. Although not in the company, Devia still needs a job.

"Sa-me too. I'm sorry to think that Miss and Mr. Ray are engaged." Suddenly all were staring at Rania who shrunk even more after saying that. Alvi turned to Ray behind her who turned her face away from Alvi's gaze.

"Why does Rania think that way?" Avril asked tilted her head, wanting to laugh at that moment. But Avril held herself back to calm down.

"Because Mr. Ray always meets the lady. And I also had a chance to see Mr. Ray provide provisions for miss. So I thought..." Rania sighed before finishing her words.

"My engagement name is Tania. Not Avril Vania." Cetus Ray made Avril laugh amusedly but made Alvi snort annoyed.

"Don't you like Ray?" Rania was stunned and became misbehaved.

"Nope-no. Ma-no. sa-I just idolize it." Rania answered and closed her mouth nervously and cursed her.

Avril laughed again.

"Hemmm Ray.. I know you want to laugh right? Why are you holding back? Are you afraid of Alvi?" Ejek Avril looked into Alvi's eyes with a defiant face.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Alvi asked with still a cold face.

"But in fact you're more afraid of me." Cetus Avril concluded a sneered smile.

"So? Why are you visiting my room?" Alvi then stepped closer to Avril.

"You forgot this, sir. And I'm distracted by all the continuous calls. Plus the security guard in front of your room won't give it to you." Avril showed the sophisticated object in front of Alvi's face.

"Now you know why I gave it to you." Alvi said.

"What's? You really fucked me." Avril puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"Ray's." Alvi let out a long breath.

"Understand sir." Ray replies and takes Devia and Rania out of the room leaving Avril and Alvi.

"Ray. wait." Call Avril who is about to chase after Ray, but her hand is pulled by Alvi.

"Where are you going to mess with me?"

"Huh?" Avril looked annoyedly at Alvi.

"You've messed up my meeting, so you have to accept the punishment."

"What punishment? Didn't you ask who objected to your decision, had to come out with Miss Devia. And I told you I objected and I'd resign." Avril replied loudly.

"Does your boss approve of it?"

"Yes.m sure you agree." Avril suddenly got nervous. Obviously the boss in question is Alvi, not Deri and Roby.

"You're very confident Miss Revano. But what will a deal happen if one of the parties disagrees?" Alvi got closer to Avril who was reconsidering her words.

"So what's the punishment?" Avril slowly stepped back to avoid Alvi who was intending to prick her.

"Repair my room."

"About? But it's clean.." whined Avril spoiled.

"You argue?"

"Ehehe ti-no! All right. But stay away from me fucking." Avril pushed the rough face of Alvi who chuckled back to her desk.

"You can't get out before this room is clean."

"Understanding sir's husband." Avril replied that she had made Alvi look inside with an unstoppable laugh.

"What's? Try repeat!"

"What?" Avril asked again as if she did not understand.

"Say repeat again!" Alvi came back to Avril.

"No way."

"Ohhh so you don't want to?"

"Yes, I don't want to..."

"Then I'll keep you in that room until you repeat it." Alvi pointed at the door that was right behind her desk. Avril was wide-eyed and shunned Alvi.

"Ray.. help me. There is a tiger Ray.." cried Avril in a joking tone.

"Ohhh so you expect Ray to save you?" Alvi smiled at her scary smile.

"Ihhh Ray... Didn't you hear?" Again Avril turned to the door with a frightened face.

"Ahahaha you're adorable darling" Alvi pinched both of Avril's cheeks.

"Aaaaaa is sick." Avril rubbed her cheek rough.

"really? Not too hard." Ejek Alvi then gently rubbed Avril's cheek.

"Nilinyin"

"Who taught you? It can't be that way with a husband."

"Hmmm so what should it be? Does it have to be like this?"

Avril pinched Alvi's nose hard.

"Admisleading..."

"Not too hard." Avril replicated Alvi's tone in those words.

"Hemmm revenge?"

"Who?"

"I why?"

"You're a bitch. But...."

"But?"

"I love you."

"Hmmmmmm?"

"Just hemm?"

"Then?"

"You don't love me?"

"What proves feelings should always be said?" Avril smiled before finally leaving Alvi's room.

"I'm sorry I only allowed 10 minutes. So I can't stay here long." Avril closed the door of the room with a face mocking Alvi who was speechless as Avril passed.

"I still miss you." Alvi let out a heavy sigh and sat leaning against the sofa.

The door opened again, and Avril's head appeared behind the door.

"Don't forget to take the medicine okay." Avril again closed the door without knowing Alvi who sighed wanted to talk.

"You haven't had breakfast" Alvi said, sighing heavily.

"What kind of husband am I? I took you to the office, but left you a meeting." Alvi complained to herself and closed her eyes.

. Aldi looked up at Amel from behind the thick glass.

"Why are you stubborn, brother? Don't you love me? Even though we always fight, and I always judge you, but that's the way I love you. All the jokes we do, even though you're mean to me sometimes, but that's what I miss now. I'll be lonely brother." Aldi could not hold back his tears that forced to come out of the petals that had been crying for too long.

"I..." Syifa grabbed Aldi's shoulder doubtfully. Aldi looked over and showed his pitiful face.

"Why are you here?" Aldi turned back and looked at Amel.

"I'm part of shift 2, so I-" Syifa came to a sudden halt as Aldi hugged her.

"I know I'm shameless, but can you not leave me? At least at this time. Just hang with me for a second." Syifa was dumbstruck, because this was the first time Aldi hugged her. Syifa returned her embrace and rubbed Aldi's back in tears. Either crying because of grief, or also grieving with what Aldi feels now.

Reno who saw him from afar, casually smiled then walked off somewhere.

"You're naive Aldi." Cetus Reno's.

Perhaps in this play, only Syifa who had been carried away by the feelings of Reno who tends to know more how to treat women like what and how.

Aldi suddenly took off his embrace on Syifa.

"Sorry. Are you here with Reno?" Sontak Syifa looked back and now did not find Reno.

"Yes.but.... "

"I'm afraid Reno misunderstood."

"Reno's gone? He said he'd come after me?" Gumam Syifa did not continue his conversation with Aldi.

"Syifa. I'm sorry." Said Aldi disperse the daydream of Syifa.

"About?" Syifa frowned not understanding.

"I can't be what you want me to be. I chased Avil too much until I ignored you. But I don't know, when you were with Reno, I felt that this was what you felt with me, too."

"I-I don't understand Aldi."

"It seems. ah no. It's real and not 'like it'. I'm starting to love you Syifa. It's no longer because of the impingement so I can forget Avil. But it's because I realized that you're the only one who's always by my side under any circumstances."

"Eh?"

"Shyifa! Can I fix our relationship?" Aldi grabbed Syifa's silent shoulder looking into Aldi's eyes which now looked sincere. Her tears came back.

"Am I late? You've really turned your back on Reno?"

"No Al... Syifa never turned away from you. As long as I was with him, I saw that he really loved you, and not because of an arranged marriage." Syifa looked at the owner of the voice. Reno answered Aldi's question before Syifa answered him.

"So? You guys were pretending to be dating all this time?" Syifa jerks. Why did Aldi conclude there?

"Ahahha what are you talking about? I told you I can't stand your disregard for Syifa. I thought if I took your place, and tried to make her happy, Syifa would be really happy. But in fact, you're the only person who can make her happy Al." Obviously Reno convinced Syifa not to say anything at the moment. And let Reno do the talking.

"But you said you were dating, right?"

"It wasn't us, but I said it. If you already know the pain of losing, then do not occasionally ignore it again. Chance never comes twice, if anything it might be the last chance." Reno leisurely passed back from the sight of Aldi.

"Ehh and one more. I happened to meet her this morning, so I thought I would just accompany her here. Danger if women go alone, right? Especially the wife of Aldian Mahendra. It's dangerous. hahaha"

"Why? Reno didn't tell the truth? It could be, right?" Syifa muttered staring at Reno's departure.

Reno looked ordinary and kept walking away from Syifa and Aldi. And casually received an incoming call. And it certainly seems to be from Bagas.

*flashback some time ago when Amel was still conscious.

. It seems Aldian is more silent after knowing Syifa and Reno are dating.

"You why Al? Brother watch you daydream constantly."

"What's wrong, brother." Aldi replied, throwing a forced smile just to convince.

"You fought with Syifa? It's been a long time since I've seen him." It was seen Amel withstanding pain in his head.

"More than that, brother."

"You made him leave?"

"It looks so."

"Do you love her?"

"I don't know. My heart is not broken now. To Syifa I felt like I had no taste, and so did Avil." Amel smiled in response to her sister's complaint.

"Don't focus on what you're after until you forget what you're supposed to be looking after. The one you're after has earned his happiness. And now what you should be looking after has already earned its own happiness. You really suck Aldi."

"Ahaha brother is right. I do suck. I managed to ignore Syifa, but I couldn't catch Avil back."

"Why don't you ask Syifa to come back to you?"

"He's been with Reno brother." Aldi looked down and smiled at Amel.

"And you just gave up?"

"Didn't my brother say it. Don't be selfish just for loving her." Amel laughed a little.

"Why do I have a stupid sister like you? Look at the situation and the reality."

"What does brother mean?"

"In other words, you need each other, right? You can be selfish if she's happy with you."

"But I don't want to hurt her feelings."

"If you think only of feelings, there will be no end to them." Aldi frowned increasingly not understanding what Amel said.

---

. "Now I understand what you're saying."

"Hmm?" Syifa was again astonished by Aldi who hugged her suddenly.
