Endless Taste

. Avril put down her phone and then ran as if completely forgetting what was there.

They thought Avril was going to take a toilet, but Avril passed out and as quickly as possible they chased Avril who was now under a drizzle of rain.

Reno quickly grabbed Avril who was incessantly crying.

"Avril what's wrong? It rained. You can get sick." Avril collapsed and sat in front of Reno and covered her face.

Reno crouched down to grab Avril's shoulder. Avril slowly opened her hands and looked at Reno.

"Awlvi Ren... Alvi.." said Avril.

"Alvi why?"

"Alvi accident..he's critical now." sobs her crying increasingly.

"Please calm yourself first Avril.." Reno took Avril on her deck.

"You think I can calm down? He promised to return safely. But he's just..."

"Avril's been. We better get to the car. The rain is getting worse." Said Reno who was holding her chest tightening.

Bagas grabbed Avril's phone which was still connected to Demira's call.

"For the sake of. It's Bagas." But Bagas frowned when he heard Demira's sobs.

"Alvi critical Gas. He's the worst." Bagas pecked for a moment. Hunch's right.

"You're kidding me, aren't you Dem?"

"You think I'm kidding? All the witnesses said he was drunk, but I couldn't believe it. The doctor found no alcohol on his body. Bagas..please investigate to Reno's father...."

"What do you mean Demi?"

"My brother saw a cctv on the street, the car Alvi was carrying couldn't be stopped at the red light."

"You mean, the brakes are blong?"

"That's my brother's car. I know very well how my brother looks after his car. And I wouldn't believe it if brother did this to Alvi. After all, my sister also loves Alvi."

"Demira has calmed you down first. I will calm Avril here." Said Bagas following all his friends. Syifa is seen running with an umbrella for herself and Avril. Reno took Avril into his car. If in ordinary conditions, maybe all the gang members will laugh out loud when Bagas confidently carries Avril's sling bag and mobile phone in his hand.

Bagas' phone ringing beeps.

"Hallo om."

"Bagas.. Please take Avril to the airport."

"Ba-good om. Avril..."

"Om know.so ask for help you and Reno to deliver Avril."

"Yes-yes om."

Reno and Bagas rush Avril to the airport.

Along the way Avril did not stop crying.

Arriving at the airport, Avril rushed to change clothes because of the cold.

Reno was astonished when her father was at the airport with Andre. The closer they got, the more they heard.

"I'm sorry Andre, I have not been informed about who deliberately made Alvi like that. To suspect Hendar I don't have any proof." Andara.

"Why do you suspect Hendar?"

"Do you never think he will oppose the will that Ahmad left behind. Where it is written when Alvi married, all assets of his wealth officially belong to Alvi. So it does not rule out the possibility if he wants to kill Alvi so that Ahmad's bloodline is lost. And all his possessions became the property of his biological family. Although Ahmad had already stated that the treasure would be donated, Hendar would definitely not agree."

"Andara was with me, now with Hendar. What's your life you spend suspecting people? I'm not sure if Hendar would dare to do that. Alvi's niece, the son of her brother. It can't be..."

"Maybe it was om. Om Hendar told people not to be suspected." Timpal Reno interrupted before Andre finished his speech.

"Reno's right. I think so too." Noah interrupts when he suddenly appears there.

"You're going to London too?" Ask Bagas.

"Alvi is my friend, and I must also calm Demira down there." Bagas mutely found an answer from Noah.

---

"What's? Why isn't he dead?" Shouted a middle-aged man loudly.

"But his condition is still critical sir."

"Sadly.I wouldn't have calmed down if he hadn't died. Make him die, any way.!" He said firmly with anger held in check.

"But..."

"If you can't, then I'll take you to the police here."

"Ba-good sir. I understand." The man then passed and headed for the hospital.

But when in the hospital, his intention was broken because there was no gap to enter the room.

"Sorry sir. It's very tight here. I can't just walk into that room, or we'll get in trouble." He reported to the mysterious boss.

"I'll give it until tomorrow. If you can't do it, you also know what your fate is."

"Good sir." The man hung up his phone call with a sorry face.

"Why do I have to go deeper? If I had known the hole was so deep, I probably wouldn't have entered it." His murmur was leaning against the hospital wall.

The exhausting long journey at this time did not make Avril feel tired. Avril is seen rushing to leave Noah and his father in the hospital lobby. Demira waits in front of the elevator and the two go straight to where Alvi's room is.

Seen there was no bodyguard standing guard, only Demira's mother, and Damian.

"Sir...are you alone?" Damian asked grabbed both of Avril's arms. Avril shook her head violently with eyes that were back in tears.

"No brother. I'm with dad." He answered Damian's question.

"All right. I'm going for a minute. There's unfinished business." Damian looked at my beloved sisters in turn.

"Mama will see your father first in the doctor's office. Hopefully there is good news about Alvi's condition." Demira nodded in response to the two.

"Avril permission to see Alvi's aunt.."

"Alright son, don't worry too much. Just pray Alvi's okay." Demi's mother hugged Avril warmly and then passed leaving them.

"Avril you go in first. I'll pick up Noah and your father first."

"Alright. sorry."

Avril entered the room and came back crying when she saw Alvi's condition was so severe.

"Alvi.. Why did you break your promise? You said you weren't the same as Aldi. Whereabouts? You said you'd come home safe. But I'm the one who followed you here."

Avril clasped Alvi's hand tightly. It felt a little warm palms that he longed for, which with the hand that always patted his cheek gently.

"When do you want to sleep? Don't you feel sorry for me? You said you wouldn't leave me alone."

Alvi's forehead was slightly wrinkled, but did not open her eyes.

"Let's go home..." Avril grew more and more softly immersed her face in the mattress.

Hearing the door open, Avril turned her head and was surprised to find someone with a white hoodie and a mask covering the bottom of her face.

"Who?" Asked Avril frowned.

"You're from Indonesia?"

"Didn't the lady hear?"

"It looks like you're different from Noah."

"What is the lady talking about?" Getting the question, Avril gasped and felt alert. If he's really Alvi's friend, there's no way he doesn't know Noah.

"I'm sorry. You'd better go." Avril's words made the man become annoyed.

"alright. Why not just all of you?" The man approached and Avril took a few steps back.

"What do you mean?" Avril squeezed into Alvi's bed. And the man was so very close.

His hands stretched out, about to reach for Alvi's oxygen device. Avril quickly realized the man's intentions and instantly grabbed his hand to dodge from near Alvi.

"I thought you weren't his friend." Avril still pulled the man's hand with all her might. The man threw Avril's small body until Avril hit the wall. Faintly seen the man pulled out a folding knife and was about to stab Alvi.

Avril again pulled the man's hand and the hand was again thrown until the knife hit the left forehead of Avril. The man panicked to see the blood covered behind Avril's hand being used to hold the pain on his forehead.

The man rushed out of the room and threw the knife right next to Avril who was lying down.

. Noah passed him in front of the elevator. But Noah doesn't know that the man tried to kill his best friend.

As he opened the door, Noah was surprised why Avril was lying with her head covered in blood. And plus Alvi's heart rate is getting weaker. He swiftly grabbed some tools attached to Alvi's body, then after Alvi's condition stabilized, Noah again grabbed Avril who is now in Demira's lap.

"Tell me Andre now." Noah said he took Avril out of the room and searched the hospital there. Demira runs in search of Andre and Andara's whereabouts.

"The wound wasn't fatal, but the skin still had to be sewn because it was torn." Said Noah who acted with the doctor there.

"Are you a doctor?" Ask one of the doctors who noticed Noah's dexterity and skill in handling patients.

"Yes." That's all that came out of his mouth.

"She your friends?" Noah nodded in response as if giving them an affirmation not to keep asking.

"Ohh. i'm sorry."

. Noah told the name of the room Avril occupied.

Andara was more astonished by the case.

"We'll know after Avril wakes up."

Said Noah who was worried for Alvi at this moment.

"It looks like Alvi will improve, but I don't know the condition of her body. If he sees his health, he's stable." Noah continued to think about who was the mastermind of this incident.

"Om Andara can go to the cctv room to investigate who last entered Alvi's room after Avril." Said Noah staring hopefully at Andara.

"I understand Noah. Please take care of Alvi for a moment." Andara then passed towards the Cctv room in that corridor.

Avril opened her eyes and only found Demira beside her. Avril woke up quickly and grabbed Demira's hand.

"Avi Dem's... Alvi... has that person been arrested? Dem. he wants to kill Alvi..." Avril tried to get out of bed.

"Avil, don't calm yourself. Alvi is fine Avil..."

"Dem.. I'm afraid.." wryly Avril hugged Demira tightly.

"Avril calm down. and don't be careless anymore.what if anything worse happens to you."

"I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I believe that he's Alvi's friend."

"You know him?" Avril shook her head.

"He was like a confused person Dem. I saw the look in her loving eyes that felt forced. But he has to do it. I don't know, maybe it's just my thinking." Avril rubbed her face rough.

"I'm afraid that the mastermind of this incident is my own family." Demira looked down lethargic.

"What do you mean?"

"You yourself know my father and uncle Ahmad each have their own company. And after the death of uncle, surely all assets and all inheritance fall on Alvi alone."

"For the sake of. don't think a no-no. After all your father is the only member of the Alvi family now."

"It's precisely because it's Avil."

"For the sake of. I want to see Alvi.."

"Don't you get some rest. Your wounds are still-"

"Dem.. I beg you. I won't believe Alvi's okay if I don't see her myself."

"I'll call Noah for a minute." Demira picks up her phone and calls Noah. Before long, Noah walked in and ran a little.

"Alvi is aware that you can meet him." Said Noah more showing a cheerful face.

"Noah... Avil's still sick."

"Bring the infusion liquid. In Indonesia you always do." Ejek Noah smiled a wry smile at Avril's face.

"Thank you fucking doctor." Decih Avril moved and assisted by Demira.

. Until Alvi's room, all were standing around Alvi who was still lying. Avril walked and stood right beside Alvi's head.

"Avril..." Alvi looked slowly but with a blank look.

Avril then hugged Alvi with a broken cry.

"Why did you sleep so long. Don't you know I'm worried about you..."

"Sorry baby. I broke my promise, didn't I?"

"Don't repeat."

"Understand dear." Alvi immersed her eyes with a drop of water flowing from her eyelids to her temples.

"But maybe I'll renege on my other promise after this." Avril looked up.

"What do you mean?" Alvi did not answer Avril's question directly. Alvi was crying. More surprisingly, Demira's mother also cried in Hendar's presence.

"Dad... How do I explain it to your daughter?" But father turned his face when Alvi asked so.

"Dad... What does that mean? Are you planning something when I'm unconscious?" Alvi tried to grab the face of Avril who now turned from before her.

When Avril turned her head back, Alvi accidentally touched the bandage on Avril who made Avril grimace.

"What's sick?" Alvi asked who did not see Avril's face.

"Avril.." call them all together when the blood in the wound starts to come back under the bandage.

"Avril why? Tell me why Avril?" Shouted Alvi hiding the frustration that started to envelop her heart. Now Avril realized, why previously Alvi said he would no longer keep his promise. Alvi can't see.

"Dad... Why are you silent? Noah.. Is there Noah? I heard his voice. Noah!" Slowly Alvi showed his frustration.

"Avril. Don't be around me. I'm afraid I'm gonna hurt you." But Avril hugged Alvi again. It hurts more than the knife cut that hit his forehead.

"I'm not leaving you." Lirih Avril's.

"Leave me Avril. I won't be able to make you happy. I can't keep my promise." Even so, Avril was reluctant to let go of her embrace from Alvi.

"I'm your wife. Would not a wife leave her husband under no circumstances?" whispered Avril held back the sob.
