Endless Taste

. All eyes were on Alvi.

"Master?" Ray subdued his gaze when he saw Alvi who was suddenly behind him.

"Alvy. You're ignoring me?" Amel who was chasing and staring at Alvi's back behind him.

"If you want to go home, I'll take you." Alvi looked at Avril who was both behind her.

"Alvy. Is Avril more important than me?" Amel's tone was getting upset.

"Shut up!" Alvi said in a high tone to make all employees become silent, walking without a sound, down shrouded in fear.

Alvi approached Avril who was sculpting. Grabbing her hand, Alvi then quietly clasped Avril's hand beside her.

"Shaking? Is he scared?" Alvi muttered looking at some of Avril's face covered in her hair that was breaking down.

Alvi pulled Avril's hand towards the exit.

"I brought you, so I'll take you, too." Alvi Assert.

"Ray. You must know something." Amel looked at Ray.

"Sorry miss. I'm busy." Ray smiled and left Amel.

Amel saw the situation around, all pairs of eyes were on him.

"Dam. I'm humiliated like this." Amel's murmured which followed Alvi.

Amel sees Alvi's car passing away from the building.

"What happens when I leave." Amel returned to the car he ordered, then drove to the house.

. "Why aren't you waiting for me?" Alvi asked turned to Avril for a moment.

"You're old." Avril answered without looking.

"I don't think that's your answer." Alvi let out a long breath.

"Then?" Avril still focused on the side of the road.

"Because of Amel, right?" Avril looked over to find Alvi's words.

"You're jealous, right?" Alvi looked at Avril.

Avril turned her face away.

"What am I jealous of." Flat Avril.

"Then? Why do you look upset?" Alvi sounded restrained in annoyance.

"I'm upset that I waited for you for so long. I've been reading novels, until I get to Ray, wait outside, but you don't come." Obviously Avril was getting upset.

"If you're not jealous, why did you leave after Amel.?"

"Why are you upset? I-I left because. yaa. I appreciate Brother Amel who wants to see you." Avril turned her face back.

"So, what does Avril mean?" Alvi pulled the car over. "Say Avril. Tell me that you love me." Alvi stared expectantly at Avril with a slight snarl.

Avril stared silently at Alvi.

"You why Alvi.? I don't understand what you mean. And I don't love you." Flat Avril.

Alvi was surprised even more closely staring at Avril. Then he nodded, sighed, and returned to his car.

"You're not lying. I'm sorry Avril." Lirih Alvi was faintly heard by Avril.

Unlike usual, Alvi immediately drove Avril to her home. Without going into the house, without saying goodbye to dad.

After making sure Avril got out of the car, Alvi returned to drive his car leaving Avril's house.

"Is it not wrong that you've come home? You've only been gone 2 hours." Sindir Galih who was leaning on the pole of the house.

"Sister! Do you know anything about Alvi?" Ask Avril doubtfully.

"It looks like you're already interested in Alvi." Galih Eject.

"I'm not kidding you." Avril puffed her cheeks.

"Ahaha okay. Don't upset. I'm the one who's kidding." Calamity raised both of his hands.

"I don't know for sure, but all I know is that Alvi is a guy who likes to play with women's feelings. Yeah, that's just my assumption. But you better ask Nadia. He was a classmate in High School." Step inside the house.

Avril was still silent thinking about everything she saw and heard.

Is it true that Alvi and Amel are dating? But seeing Alvi's frightening demeanor doesn't guarantee the question is correct.

All the thoughts about Alvi raged in Avril's mind.

Just as Avril was about to step inside, the ringing of her phone rang.

"Hallo. Who?" Avril scrunched her forehead wondering who called.

"Avil.." At once Avril stared at the sound.

"Aldi?" Lirih Avril's.

"Avil.. Can we meet?"

"Where?" Ask Avril without thinking.

"You're not resisting?" Tanya aldi sounded enthusiastic.

"Tell me where, before I change my mind." Avril Strictly.

"alright. I'm waiting at Cafe B." Said Aldi then Avril disconnected her phone call.

Avril ran to her room and took the car keys and went to the appointment place.

. Arriving at the cafe, Avril immediately opened the door. 'Ting' the sound of a small bell above the door is heard every time the door is opened.

Aldi turned his head and found Avril walking towards him.

Aldi unblinkingly looked at Avril with a different appearance when he last met.

Avril sat right in front of him. Staring, then turning his gaze away from Aldi.

"Say." Flat Avril.

"You're getting pretty Avil." Aldi was still staring at Avril.

"Aldi. Don't make me hate you more." Avril stared intently at Aldi.

"I'm serious." Aldi reassured.

"Ck." Avril belated.

"Do you really hate me?" Ask Aldi a little.

"You think?" Avril glanced cynically at Aldi.

"But I still love you Avil." Lirih Aldi's.

"Don't be kidding Al. That's not funny." Avril said firmly.

"I'm serious Avil. I really still love you. Do you need proof?" Avril scrunched her forehead at Aldi's question.

"I'm gonna call off this engagement, and then I'm gonna propose to you." Aldi made Avril angry.

"It is with pleasure that I will openly reject you, Mr. Aldian. You think I'll accept you after you call off your engagement? No. gabe. I'm gonna hate you more than this." Resolutely Avril then turned her gaze again.

Aldi. Then he put his head on the table.

"I have to how is Avil? You're the only reason why I'm back in town." Aldi looked up and looked at Avril.

"But the truth is I'm not your house." Avril stared flatly at Aldi's face.

"Honestly Avil. Be honest! Even for the last time, or even if it hurts both of us, I want to hear you be honest with your own heart." Firm Aldi.

"Whatchu mean? Do you think I've been lying all this time?" Avril looked at Aldi annoyed.

"Yes. You always lie to yourself. You seem to hate me, but I know that you still love me." Avril turned her gaze again, holding back the tears that almost fell on both of her cheeks.

"If you love you too, I can't do anything Al." Avril.

"Avril. Hear me! If you really still love me, I could seriously call off my engagement, and we'll get back together. I'm sure my father and his friend wouldn't mind. I'll pay my debt another way. I can be with you again." Aldi begged Avril for a hand.

"Stop Al. I won't forgive you if you cancel your engagement." Avril took off Aldi's grip. "I know what it's like to be abandoned, so I don't want any other woman to feel the same way. I hope you didn't make her cry." Eventually the feathers fell on both cheeks of Avril.

"Avil.." - Aldi looked at Avril.

'Ting' cafe door sign open. Aldi looked up at the door. Staring at a girl, who was motionless holding the doorknob. Staring at someone he likes is sitting alone with another girl. The girl smiled and then turned around to leave the cafe.

Avril turned to the door that was slowly closing tightly.

"Avil, whenever I want, I will love you." Said Aldi before Avril passed leaving him.

Aldi stared at Avril's unraveling hair. Given the events of the past, when Aldi always prank Avril rolling her long hair.

Avril was speechless staring at the car glass that reflected her shadow.

"Dam. I forgot to ask about Amel's sister." Avril muttered opening the car door.

. In the house of Aldi, Amel entered a wide open door. He was looking for someone he missed so much.

"I'm home!" He said a little scream.

I saw my mother running towards Amel.

"Amel? Aren't you home in 3 days?" Mom hugged Amel.

"Millions" Amel looks excited.

"Yes. Mama was really surprised by your surprise." Mama put on an upset face.

"Hmmm I'm sorry ma. but I miss someone, and I'm disappointed." Amel let go of the embrace.

"Loved? Are you disappointed to see Mom?" Mama scrunched her eyebrows.

"Not.not mom. But Alvi." Amel whines.

"Alvy? Huhhhhh you haven't given up?" Mom turned around to leave Amel. "It's Amel. Alvi does not approve of his match. Let him live his own life." Mom sat on the sofa.

"But I love him ma..." Amel approached and sat down next to his mother.

"Your love is blind love. You're older than Aldi, but you're more childish than him. Aldi can control his feelings with an adult attitude. Even though you know Aldi is very depressed right now." Amel snorted at the words of his mother.

Before returning home, Aldi stopped by his father's office.

Avril went straight to her house.

For a few days, Avril was astonished. No message, no word from Alvi.

Avril approached Galih who was busy in his office.

"Sister! Do you know how Alvi is?" Tanya Avril sat on the sofa of Galih's room.

"No." Answer the brief.

"Do you know Ray's phone number?"

"No."

"Didn't he tell you?"

"Stop Avril. I can't focus. If you miss Alvi, you better go to her office, then you'll know what she's doing." Galih's jerk made Avril speechless.

Nadia opened the door of the room and found Avril staring fixedly out the window, and Galih who was upset with the files in front of him.

"What kind of situation is this? Did you guys fight?" Nadia walked over to Avril.

"No." Answer both are upset.

"Come on. I already know the nature of you both." Nadia sat in front of Avril. "Aren't you going to tell me anything?" Nadia stared fixedly at Avril.

Avril glanced at Nadia, then refocused out the window.

"Hmmm fine if you don't want to know the situation of Alvi's company." Nadia looked out.

Avril turned to Nadia, making Nadia smile.

"So you're interested in hearing my story?" Nadia looked at Avril. Avril was silent. Not long ago nodded slowly. Galih was only paying attention from far away his beloved sister.

"I heard company D tightened the information of the guests. Not just anyone can get into his company now. If there are no appointments, then cannot enter. I don't know what the reason is, but I hear it also because the other day there's a girl who's casually getting into D's company." Nadia looked at Avril. "I know Avril. I was Alvi's and Amel's friend first. So I also know their relationship." Avril looked down annoyed at Nadia.

"Don't misunderstand. Alvi does not consider Amel as his. So, you don't get jealous of me too much." Nadia made Avril stunned.

"I'm not jealous." Jerky Avril.

"really? But I guess, from your tone it's not the same as yours." Nadia's ejek made Avril puff her cheeks.

"Ahhh. I wonder where he is?" Nadia looked at Galih.

"I don't know Nadia. At least he's at the club with the girls there." Flat Galih.

"Do you want to see him?" Nadia asked Avril.

Avril shook her head.

"Why? Don't you miss him?" Nadia scrunched her forehead.

"I don't love him brother!" Avril Strictly.

"really? Hmmm if I love her I won't oppose you. I even support you." Nadia Ejek.

"Stop brother! Your dress is not funny." Avril said annoyed.

Nadia smiled with satisfaction. Then Nadia approached Galih and whispered, occasionally turning to Avril. Galih was visibly upset, but Nadia persuaded him, and Galih nodded her head forcefully.

"Avril. Come on!" Nadia waved her hand.

"Where?" Avril curious.

"Follow it. You know that later."

By force, Avril followed Nadia.

Avril was surprised when she reached Nadia's destination.

"What's it for?" Avril tilted her head.

"Cure your curiosity. Let's get down." Nadia got off first.

Avril followed Nadia from behind.

But at the entrance, a security blocked both of them.

"Already brother! it's futile. Let's just go home." Avril turned around to walk away.

"Don't run Avril." Nadia pulls Avril's hand.

"Say I have an appointment with the president this afternoon." Nadia.

The security signaled to his partner and allowed the two to enter the building.

Right in front of the president's room, Ray was surprised to see Avril who came unannounced.

"N-miss Av-Avril." Ray stiff.

"You look like you saw Ray's ghost." Flat Avril.

"Sorry miss. B-but, why is Miss here? Sir didn't say there was an appointment with Miss." Ray still looks stiff.

"I didn't have an appointment with him Ray. But my brother dragged me here." Avril turned her eyes.

Nadia simply smiled in response to Avril's glance.

"B-but sir...." Ray was doubtful.

"Is he meeting?" Ask Nadia.

"Nope-no. Gentlemen, we have guests." Ray said a little softly.

Nadia opened the door to Alvi's room. Nadia is surprised to find Alvi sleeping on the sofa with files and books scattered.

Avril without speaking cleared Alvi's room.

Nadia looked at Alvi who was still asleep, then glanced at Avril who was busy with books and files. Nadia took a long breath.

"Not much different from Galih" muttered Nadia.

Slowly Alvi opened her eyes, and found Avril who was reading one of the novels.

Alvi woke up and looked at Avril who was focused on reading.

"Who let you in?" Alvi asked staring coldly. "Did Ray still not understand, uninvited guests were forbidden to enter my room. No exception to anyone." Firmly Alvi then stood up and walked towards the door.

'Deg.' Avril fell silent, her hands trembling touching the sheet of paper in her hand.

Alvi's attitude changed drastically after his last meeting.

Nadia looked at the annoyed Alvi who passed her just like that.
