Endless Taste

. Ray came running when Alvi who jumped as if he did not pay attention to his injuries that were still severe.

"Sir.." shouted Ray filled with panic. Ray turned to Adam who was lying next to the barrier with a paled face. Ray then grabs a pulse at Adam's neck.

"So so?" Ray slowly turned to Andara.

"Take the fuck off." Reno shouted from inside the car, then there was a noise inside, and before long Reno and Aldi came out supporting each other.

Some of Andara's subordinates ambushed Adam's battered men also in the car, and you can guess it was the actions of Aldi and Reno.

"Truly fucked up." Ray said seeing the condition of the two who counted pathetic.

Andara ran to grab Reno who had been battered. While Aldi is not fully aware and still unaware of the situation. Only a faint look like his father was lying in front of Ray who was crouching down. After shaking his face violently, Aldi was wide-eyed, his eyes reddened, his hands clenched and his emotions peaked. Aldi walked half-run to his father, then was surprised to see the father was drenched in blood. Aldi suddenly delivers a back-to-back punch to Ray.

Reno who witnessed it, tried to run but his legs were not convincing to be taken running.

"Shut up here, son. Let me take care of them." Said Andara while giving his subordinates code to partially capture the people who were beaten by Reno in the car.

"You did it fucking? You and your master did it. Has my brother's death not satisfied you yet? now you're taking my father. What's my fault with your master, huh? I've stayed away from Avil. I buried my feelings and gave up Avil for your master. But why does everything I sacrifice seem meaningless." Aldi continued to beat Ray, until Ray staggered when his temple was hit so hard.

"Why is Alvi's assistant silent?" Andara murmured while still stepping closer to Ray who was like he had resigned to all-out by Aldi.

"Enough Aldi." Andara immediately stopped Aldi.

"Tell me who's responsible for my father's death?" Aldi gritted his teeth holding back the anger that might not have been all but evaporated.

"It's definitely not the guy you beat up on." Said Andara without answering Aldi's question.

"Then who? What's your own?" Aldi sharply glanced towards Andara.

"Me or my subordinates are the same. The police force responsible for your father's death." Initially Aldi just smiled cynically, but the longer, Aldi laughed amid the depression he now feels. Aldi shouted in frustration as if everything was really unfair.

"Aldi. But if left unchecked, Avril's life is more threatened." Said Andara approaching and was about to reach Aldi's back.

"Why om? Why would Avil be father's hostage? And why do you want Avil and Alvi to die because of Amel's sister. And why do I fall asleep when the situation is chaotic. And why was it that when I woke up, I found my dad was like this? Why om?" Shouted Aldi in front of Andara's face.

"Aldi calm yourself."

"Give me a reason to calm down." Andara. He could not give a reason that could make Aldi calm. Kidnapped by his own father, taken hostage, and now finds his dead father. Andara knew that now Aldi had realized the absence of Avril.

"I need help.." shouted one of Andara's subordinates from under the bridge. Andara turned towards the voice, and saw Alvi who was hugging Avril on top of her with a shirt that was covered in blood.

"Dam." Cetus Andara then ran through a road that was very visible no one had passed him for a long time.

"They're alive sir. It's just, the condition of the president's son is not possible." Obviously Andara's subordinates when Andara was near him.

"What do you mean not possible?" Andara frowned not understanding.

"When I checked, his heart rate weakened. And his wounds are getting worse."

"Why are you guys quiet? Quickly take them to the hospital." Say youara in a high tone.

"Good sir."

They take Avril and Alvi up the bridge and let Ray take her master and her lady to the hospital.

Aldi who was still frustrated to keep silent to see his father who had been brought by the police.

Reno was still in his place watching Aldi's movements. Aldi staggered towards the edge of the bridge and stared at the stream that looked calm but perhaps a little deep.

"Aldi.." call Reno softly but clearly still heard.

"Why don't you leave me, Ren?" Aldi slightly turned his face with a bitter forced smile.

"I'm not leaving you Al. We're buddies. Even more. I don't want to let you do anything stupid that you'll regret." Reno walked closer to Aldi who was sitting languidly on the bridge.

"My father has made you battered like that. I don't even know what Alvi and Avril are like right now."

"Aldi. Come to the hospital with me. Your wounds are equally severe." Reno reached out and realized that Aldi was planning something.

As Aldi sat on the bridge barrier, Reno pulled Aldi's body rough so that it bounced to the middle of the road.

"What are you thinking, huh? You want to kill yourself? You want to leave your mom alone? I know you were devastated, after your brother's death, now your father. But don't think short. You still have me and the others. You don't think how mom would feel if you left? She's alone. Who would take care of it if not you. Think calmly Al. It's not just your mom who loses you. But Syifa, Avil, me, Bagas." Hearing Reno's rant, Aldi lowered his head and started as he pleased.

"You don't understand what Ren feels like. You don't know because your family's intact." Aldi looked up with a sharp gaze and with a high tone. "You talk like that because your parents are still complete. You don't know because you didn't feel how my days were without my sister, and now I don't know what to do after my father's departure." Aldi went back down.

"But death is not Al's way out. Me and Bagas will always help you. Let's finish college, then I'll go with you to continue your father's company." Reno crouched down and grabbed Aldi's shoulder.

"Woy, it turns out your condition is worse than I thought." Said Bagas running towards the two.

"Where do you know we're here?" Reno's question scrunched her forehead. As he remembered, Bagas was having a meeting with his father's family outside the city.

"You don't think this story went viral?" Bagas gives his cell phone full of news of Aldi's father's death and some articles about Alvi.

"How did you get on the news?" Reno pulls the Bagas phone screen.

"Why did they kidnap you Al?" Tanya Plain Bagas while continuing to walk slowly holding the weight of her two best friends who were embracing her shoulders.

"Don't know." replied Aldi who was reluctant to discuss this problem.

"Thank God you're still safe. And I hope Avil's okay." Bagas laughed away distancing negative thoughts about Avril's condition.

"Ren. sorry. You're getting battered." Said Aldi who was increasingly staggering because of weakness.

"Yes, and you'll have to make amends later on. Otherwise, I won't forgive you." Reno glanced sharply at Aldi, revealing a joke but with a serious tone. Aldi understood Reno's intention, which was nothing but to keep him alive. Aldi smiled later after recalling the Junior High he spent with Baren.

"You're battered like this in my favor." Cetus Bagas after a moment of silence.

"You mean?" Reno looked over with a surprised face.

"Yes. Here I am the most handsome. Because my face is not hurt"

"Ohhhh you're mocking us?" Reno grabbed Bagas back head and slightly pushed him.

"Ehh. We three could fall. You guys are so heavy. Whereas when Junior High, you guys were so skinny." Bagas re-balances his steps due to Reno's pranks.

"Yes and you are the most handsome. Mr. general." Sindir Reno gave a pissed-off.

"Why Ren?" Ask someone from inside the car and manage to surprise Reno.

"O-om general?" Damar smiled a sign greeting Reno who still looks not to believe that now Reno is back to meet with Damar.

"You're so bad Ren."

"That's how om. His name is also a man." Reno smiled clumsyly.

"The aldi? You're taller than Bagas turns out." Damar chuckled as he glanced at his son.

"Yes-yes om." Aldi replied, that may be all that can come out of Aldi's mouth. I think the mouth just wants to be closed.

Damar drove the three young men to the hospital, and they followed the others.

"Aldi, no matter what the circumstances, do not think of running. Face it, we are with you. If you don't continue with your father's company, who do you think you are?" Damar starts a conversation that Aldi himself might ignore.

"Everyone knows that dad died. So, maybe they won't believe me if I lead the company." Aldi leaned back with a long look outside.

"Not if we're on your side. Me and the others will convince them that you're talented."

"I don't want to trouble anyone."

"We don't feel bothered by Al. I told you I'd keep you fighting. I'll be your partner who's always by your side." Reno patted Aldi on the shoulder with a confident face.

"I already have Syifa Ren. I'm still normal." Aldi brushed off Reno's hand with a cynical look. Immediately Reno's face became furious at Aldi's words.

"You think I'm not normal? Even though I'm single, I like women too." Reno said half-shouting.

"really? And the woman you like is none other than my fiancee. Aye right?" Aldi did not lose raising his voice.

"Al.. come on. I don't want to fuss with you."

"Why are you avoiding Ren. What is your plan to approach me so that you can more easily take Syifa?"

"Stop Al. What kind of friend do you think I am?"

"But it proved, right? At that time you openly insisted your relationship with Syifa was not just a friend."

"Because I'm fed up with your attitude of constantly ignoring Al, you're blatantly saying that you love Avril. I pretended to be her boyfriend just to make you aware of Syifa's presence. He's your fiancee, not Avril."

"What's? Pretending?" Aldi frowned not understanding. And more and more astonished when he saw Bagas patting his own forehead by muttering without a sound.

"Barens. Whatdoes thatmean? You and Syifa are just pretending to see that I love her or not? That so?"

"Al." Reno tries to explain despite knowing that Aldi will not listen to her.

"Then what? Was I wrong to worry about Avil when she suddenly disappeared from my home show? Aren't you worried too? The five of us were already friends from elementary school. Only Demi split up during Junior High. And I also left you a year after Demi moved in. After Avil had always advised me to accept Syifa's presence, I started receiving Syifa by my side." Aldi rubbed his face rough. The trials that came to him seemed to be in succession. The death of his brother, then now the death of his father, and soon after, Aldi found a reality that may now feel heartbreaking. Where Aldi has been blatant to Syifa that he loves Syifa. But it turns out that during Syifa's closeness with Reno only provoked Aldi's feelings. Aldi felt inexhaustible why his own friend arrived like that. Although it is true that Aldi shows an attitude that does not accept Syifa.

"You don't know Ren. How do you feel about being forced to let go of the girl you love for 6 years, then due to a misunderstanding, we have to voluntarily accept another girl we haven't even met. At that time we also knew that the girl was a friend of someone you loved. The feeling that was embedded for 6 years was hard to remove in the blink of Ren's eye. It took me a long time to forget about Avil, let alone me meeting her every time. I can't just love Syifa for a blink of an eye. You never knew Ren. Because you've never been in a position like this. You used to love only Demira, and give up for your friend." Said Aldi who did not realize that his two friends were scattered along with each of the thoughts that raged. Reno who does not believe that Aldi will reveal the reality stored 6 years ago in front of Bagas directly. And Bagas who doesn't believe that Reno loved Demira at the same time as him. But at that time Demira chose Bagas as her boyfriend because Reno never expressed her feelings for any girl. Until finally knowing that Bagas also likes Demira, Reno can only hold her feelings deeply.

"Ren... Is that true?" Tanya Bagas still had a face of disbelief.

"Yes Gas. I love Demi when you love her too."

"Why didn't you say it?"

"I don't want our friendship to crack because of that problem."

"Ren. Why didn't you tell me a long time ago, maybe I'd keep Demi away from you." Cetus Bagas makes Aldi and Reno look silly at him.
