Endless Taste

. Reno lay back on her bed with a few heavy sighs. Syifa who heard it became uncomfortable. Did Reno see that scene? But from his voice it was clear that it was Bagas' voice. Bagas was still staring resentfully at Aldi because of the blow to his head.

"What look-look?" Aldi is no less challenging Bagas.

"It's fucking sick. Isssshhhh" Bagas whined as he grabbed his head which had been pulsing.

"Mishe yourself mocking me." Cetus Aldi glared and looked at Syifa, who was still enduring the shame.

. A moment ago, Bagas who saw the eyes of Aldi's eagle immediately retreated with a look no less horrified.

"Your face is scary shit." Said Bagas rubbing Aldi's face rough.

"What did you say?" Aldi looked up at Bagas.

"Ren... help me Ren.." cried Bagas and turned to Reno's back.

"Gas. Or I'll kill you." Said Aldi again. Reno only let out a heavy sigh and shook her head slowly with the manner of the two.

"If you're dating don't be here. Book a hotel there.." said Bagas loudly and did not care about Syifa who was increasingly embarrassed. Aldi then hit the top of Bagas' head hard.

"Why did you hit me shit." Bagas continued to grimace in pain while rubbing the location of the pain in his head.

"You're the one who didn't keep your word." Aldi did not want to lose arguing with Bagas. He said Bagas was like a talking woman.

. "Issshhhh... Do you want to see when to fight?." Reno asked in a relaxed sleep. "Al.." call Reno then. Aldi only glanced sharply, thinking that Reno was back to prank him.

"Al... ishhh you didn't hear me calling you." Reno opened her eyes and looked at Aldi.

"What's? You want to take my name again?"

"Hehe..."

. In Avril's room, Alvi glanced at Avril who looked sound asleep. Then Alvi turned to Nadia who was engrossed in reading magazines occasionally playing her phone. At the moment only Nadia is waiting for them, because her father and Galih are busy with business and helping the company of Adam who now has no leader. Until Andre told Damian to take care and become the successor president before Aldi was really ready to lead the company. While Galih, Andre told him to take care of Alvi's company.

Alvi had rethink with his closeness with Nadia now. A beautiful girl who spends her free time in the library. She's the only girl at her school who's not interested in her. Alvi had wanted to find a cause, or attract the attention of Nadia to like him, but his behavior even more made Nadia stay away from him. Now, Nadia is officially the sister-in-law of Avril.

"Did I like it then? But it doesn't seem to be. I just want to get to know her more." Alvi muttered with a smile and turned her face back.

Nadia looked up aware of Alvi's movements.

"You're not sleeping?" Nadia asked him again to focus on his phone.

"Nad... since when are we close?" Instead of answering the question, Alvi instead threw another question at Nadia. Nadia looked up and kept her phone on the table.

"Since you've been going back and forth to the library and trying to get close to me." Reply Nadia relaxed.

"You like me?" Nadia was silent for a moment, then chuckled at Alvi's silly question.

"Why laugh? Don't we? All the high school students are desperately after me." Alvi continued to move and sit leaning.

"But I'm not." Nadia plain.

"I was curious. This rich, handsome, classy me can't interest you."

"It's not that I'm not interested, but I'm keeping my boundaries. And somehow, I feel like even if I liked you, I wouldn't be able to get you. But now everything is clear. We end up being brothers-in-law and one family. You become my sister, and I become your brother."

"But... Nad. Thank you, because when my parents left, you were the first one to calm me down. Even though I can't help myself going to! Bad memories. Even now I regret that I ever drank that illicit drink." Alvi squealed and upset herself.

"That's because you're in a slump. But, I wish my son could be like you." Nadia looked down smiling and keeping her stomach warm still flat.

"Ehh... Don't expect to be like me, do you want me to kill your husband? Later she thinks I'm the-".

"What are you thinking? If I wish my son too much like his father, how will it be? In my house it might be a polar bear with one polar bear and a funny penguin that doesn't say hello to its mother because it's too cold." Nadia leaned back imagining how terrifying the future might not necessarily be as what she imagined it to be.

"You're exaggerating Nadia. Your son wouldn't be like that. Galih is a great man. Yeah, even though his attitude sucks." Alvi chuckled considering the face of Galih that now appeared in his mind.

Alvi. thanks for taking care of Avril." Nadia then approached and rubbed Avril's head gently.

"It's my job."

"I didn't expect you to be my sister-in-law Al."

"Why indeed?"

"Yes, I didn't think it. And why did you come at the right time?"

"meaning?"

"You came when Avril broke up with Aldi."

"Yes I don't know either. It may have been the path of fate."

"Aihh... Are you suddenly wise?"

"Nad... Come on. Why do you keep mocking me..."

"OK on..." Nadia laughed again.

. In the afternoon, Nadia was seen feeding Avril. Sometimes Nadia turned to Alvi who was staring at Avril with a glare.

"You want to be fed too?" Tanya Galih who moved and approached Alvi. Alvi mendelik then put the food.

"I'm not lustful." Alvi turned her face away.

"Goodoo. Die there! Maybe my sister will marry another man." Galih looked at Alvi sharply and pressed down.

"What do you mean Galih?" Alvi was no less keen on staring at Galih.

"You don't want to eat, doesn't that mean you don't want to heal and just want to die." Say Galih again.

"It's not so Galih...."

"Then how?"

"Ck. yasudah." Alvi clucked while grabbing back her food.

"Let me feed Alvi.." said a girl suddenly heard from the door. Initially Avril was astonished and prepared to sulk at Alvi, but her intention was null when she saw that the girl was Demira.

"What are you doing?" Noah's question surprised Demira.

"By feeding the bad boy." Demira replied innocently and continued to feed Alvi.

"I'm the one who's bribing him." Noah snatches Alvi's food from Demira's hands.

"My appetite is gone if you feed me." Cetus Alvi stared intently at Noah who returned his gaze sharply as well. Alvi seems to be deliberately spoiled for Demira in front of Noah. Alvi smiled successfully made Noah upset. But when glancing at Avril, Alvi choked because of Avril's sharp glances.

"What dear?" Alvi asked with a seducing face. But Avril just looked down not responding to anything. Avril still felt guilty about this incident. Why did Alvi come to such a sacrifice for him.

. The door opens showing Ray entering with Roby and Deri. It also appears Feri entered the room. Avril turned her gaze away from contact with those Alvi employees. Without anyone to speak, all family members and friends of the patient came out one by one from the room. Including Noah.

Avril was seen moving, but Nadia gestured for Avril to remain still in place. Avril looked uneasy and felt awkward when everyone left her. Seeing the uncomfortable Avril, Alvi was about to move on.

"You better not move much." Ray approaches Alvi. Medical equipment in his body is very uncomfortable because the movement is limited. To approach Avril alone has difficulty, even though only a few steps.

"Why do you keep quiet. Smile a little. So I don't worry about you." Alvi looked at Avril with an annoyed clack. But Avril just stared at Alvi flatly.

Deri and the others held back a laugh seeing Avril's innocence. But not with Feri. His arrival to the hospital was also because of fear by Deri cs. Which is nothing else if Feri does not apologize, in the near future, Feri will be kicked out of the company in a disrespectful way and he could not get a job in another company after that.

"Ray... Can you sit here?" Avril asked looking hopefully at Ray. At least if Ray was nearby, maybe Avril wouldn't be too awkward.

Ray turned to Alvi, and Alvi nodded slowly allowing the sign. With hesitation, Ray sat down near Avril who now turned himself over and rested his head on Ray's shoulders. Avril closed her eyes which still felt heavy. Ray was startled and became stiff with cold sweat beginning to feel uncomfortable. Ray glanced at Alvi with a face that seemed to beg for mercy for daring to be so close to Avril. But Ray was surprised by Alvi's attitude. Usually Alvi always cast a piercing gaze if Ray approached Avril. This time Ray saw the gaze of Sayu Alvi, maybe Alvi still felt guilty to Avril. Had Alvi been stricter in guarding Avril, perhaps this tragedy would not have happened.

"So, what brings you here?" A silly question that Deri cs might not have thought of. It was clear they were there to visit Alvi.

"We want to see the condition of the master." Answer Roby.

"My condition is very bad." Cetus Alvi casually made Avril open her eyes.

"Sorry." Lirih Avril's.

"You said something?" Tanya Alvi turned to look at Avril who responded by shaking her head then threw a smile.

"Even when you're sick, your smile remains sweet." Ray muttered stealing glances at Avril.

"Why are you smiling?" Tanya Alvi changed her expression to be even colder. Avril pulled out her smile and puffed her cheeks slightly.

"Never smile again!" Alvi Assert.

"Is the master not sane? Banning his girlfriend from smiling? It's completely out of logic." Roby muttered staring at Alvi and Avril alternately.

"If you smile in front of them, I'll smile in front of other girls." Alvi again.

"Smile as much as you can." Cetus Avril embraces Ray's arm. Alvi just let out a heavy sigh.

"Is Mr Alvi jealous? Ahh obviously. I'm jealous of them." Deri muttered with a clumsy smile.

"Why smile?" Tanya Alvi raised her voice as she stared intently at Deri. Deri was surprised then lowered his head and still refrained from smiling because of the atmosphere in the room.

"Ray.. This month you don't get a salary." Cetus Alvi after a long sigh.

"But sir. sa-I don't..."

"Then what is it?" Alvi pointed at Ray's arm which was still embraced by Avril. Avril intentionally tightened her embrace by indulging in Ray.

"Master.." Ray's whining left Deri cs feeling astonished. In the company, Ray was so scary. But in front of Alvi, Ray was nothing more than a child.

"It's totally out of reason." Roby muttered still stunned by the attitude of those cold men.

. "A-anu sir..." Deri raised her hand hesitantly and broke up the debate of Ray and Alvi.

"What?" Alvi looked back at Deri sharply.

"Someone wants to talk to you." Deri's subsequent remarks surprised Feri. His heart was pounding, cold sweat was beginning to show on his temples.

"What should I say to Mr Alvi? Damn it. Because of my ignorance, now I'm stuck in the middle. If I speak, I will get into trouble from Mr. Alvi. If not, I'll even get into bigger trouble." Feri muttered with anxiety that he could not shake.

"What's wrong? Isn't it for the holidays that you can ask your boss?" Alvi asked who guessed the possibility.

"I've wanted to apologize to Mr and Miss Avril before." Said Feri terbatak make Alvi frowned in wonder. Why Avril was brought in this matter.

"Avril? What's going on?" Alvi turned to Avril and Feri alternately.

"Avril" called Alvi in a high tone. Avril turned to Alvi with a look no less upset than Alvi.

"Miss did nothing, sir. I'm the one who's been rude and disrespectful to the lady. Please forgive my mistakes and do not fire me. I still need a job. Maybe my mistake was fatal, but I really did not know that the lady was the future wife of Mr. Alvi." Said Feri explaining with heart and mind already raging.

"Why the word 'don't know' has always been. You already know what the consequences of violence and abuse are. And did Roby or any other boss not warn you?"

"Sorry sir. It's purely my fault." The ferry is getting down. I don't know what else he should explain. The error remains purely conscious.

"Is Avril hurt?" Feri looked down not to answer Alvi's question.

"That's one more time. Is Avril hurt?" Now Alvi's voice is rising and "Ugh.." The pain all over her body restricts her movement.

"Sir..." Ray quickly approaches Alvi and leaves Avril alone.

"Alvi already. It was precisely Mr Feri who almost broke a bone because of Galih's leg." Avril said trying to calm down. He heard her voice trembling.

"That's what happens if you don't listen to me. I told you they have to know who you really are so that nothing like that happens. They always reason 'don't know.'"

"You angry?" Lirih Avril's.

"I'm not angry." Alvi answered rubbing her face rough.

"Then what is it?" Whining Avril.

"I'm angry if you get hurt."

"Why did I even watch them fight" Roby murmured scratching his non-itchy head.

"There's no apology for the man who hurt Avril." Grumpy Alvi.
