Endless Taste

65

. "Today you can go home." Said Noah after he finished checking Avril's condition. Avril's eyes look sparkling because after almost 2 weeks he was locked in a room that suffocates it. It was only Bagas and Demira who accompanied him. After the death of Adam and Alvi's condition is still being treated, his brother and father are getting busy and rarely see him. All responsibility for Avril's needs during the hospital was entrusted to Nadia. That's if Nadia's okay. When Nadia was not vit because of her pregnancy, only Demira was busy here and there. Avril felt bad if she continued to trouble Demira. What else should Demira have returned to London, but because Avril's health and the state of company D was slightly decreased, Demira remained in Indo a little longer.

"Wanna see Alvi?" Demira asked who was holding Avril's arm. Avril stopped her steps and hugged Demira tightly.

"I'm sorry, Demi. I keep troubling you."

"What's wrong Avil. I want to keep my promise." Demira returned Avril's embrace was no less warm.

. "Isa... Dami. It's not like that." Upset Alvi when Damian is stiff with the game in his hands.

"Hows it? I can't play it fucking." Damian was no less upset but continued his game.

"You stupid Dami... That's why you went there?" Shouted Alvi again.

"Shut up you son of a bitch. It's a hospital." Tegur Damian is no less screaming.

"You're fucking noisy too."

"You guys are noisy." Timpal Demira shouted. Damian and Alvi simultaneously turned to Demira who was still on the doorstep.

"He's also noisy." Bisik Alvi's.

"Who's behind you.?" Damian asked who then refocused on his phone.

"Said she wanted to see Alvi. He's a fan of yours Al." Demira laughed with amusement.

'Plak' slap sound was heard making Demira moan while looking back.

"I'm just waiting for Avril Dem." cried Alvi and then returned to focus on Damian's phone.

"You hear?" The whisper of Demira looking back.

"Sister Dam. Take me first. Come on..." Demira raised her eyebrows several times coding Damian. Damian sighed for a moment and then got out of Alvi's bed.

"Eh where are you Dam. The game's not over." Upset Alvi stared cynically at Damian.

Alvi furrowed her forehead irritated and focused on her phone as if reluctant to look forward when Damian left her and closed the door tightly. Alvi realized that there was indeed a figure who walked up to him.

"Comeout. Before I tell people to drag you." But that person was still silent as if challenging Alvi.

"Hish. You don't deng-" Alvi was silent when she looked at the face of the lover she had been hoping for her recovery. Avril looked at with a smile then chuckled.

"You really scared me, sir. What's my fault until you want to call people to drag me out?" Avril asked with a spoiled face looking at Alvi.

Suddenly Alvi became frozen, wanted to talk but not a single word was thrown. His hand slowly grabbed Avril's cheek then clasped her hand tightly.

"Where have you been?" Alvi asked slightly decapitated as she held back the tightness in her throat.

"I'm busy waiting for you in the other room." Avril replied while grabbing Alvi's hand which was still on her cheek.

"Sorry Avril. Again you meet me first."

"I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

"For everything. If only I had listened to you, maybe-"

"Sut.. already. I'm less responsible for looking after you. If we could just imagine, if I didn't worry you about Aldi, maybe you wouldn't be mad at me either. And easily get caught up by that kind of thing." Hearing that, Avril smiled with furrowed brows. Why can Alvi be this good. Yet many times Avril had already broken her heart.

"You want to go home?" Tanya Alvi slightly combed Avril's hair.

"No. I want to be here first." Avril replied sitting in the chair and leaning her head on Alvi's knees.

"You miss me?" At first Alvi only teased asking so because he wanted to judge Avril, but unexpectedly, Avril instead of denying and puffing her cheeks, but without speaking, Avril nodded and looked up and smiled stiffly at Alvi.

"Since when have you been honest?" Tanya Alvi kept trying to tease Avril.

"Since I was afraid of losing you."

"Isshhhh." Muttered Alvi kneeling his forehead.

"Why? You dizzy?" Avril asked then moved and grabbed Alvi's head. Suddenly, Alvi kissed Avril who suddenly pecked. Then both of them were surprised to hear the sound of the door closing loudly. Avril panicked who saw her with Alvi.

"Why are you panicking, baby?" Alvi chuckled at Avril's panic. Avril angrily patted Alvi's cheek a little hard.

"Why did you hit me?" Alvi rubbed his cheek roughly, although Avril herself knew it would not hurt. Avril swerved to hold her hand.

"Why are you angry, baby?" Goda Alvi was still chuckling. "It hurts tofu..." Alvi again rubbed her cheeks rough while glancing spoiled at Avril.

"Why did you kiss me all of a sudden? What if my father sees? We can be married right now."

"It's good.is it not better that way?"

"Ihhhh you yaa....." Avril pinched Alvi's cheek hard.

"Avril's pain..... KDRT again."

'Bugh.' again for the umpteenth time, Bagas fell because he was pushed by Reno. Suddenly Avril and Alvi turned to Bagas who was lying casually on the floor of the room.

"Why do I always see that scene? Shit.I don't have a partner really envy. Avril and Alvi, Aldi and Syifa, continue now Reno and Dea. Then who am I with? Demira already has Noah." Mumbled Bagas sighed heavily.

"Woy Bagas." Shouted Reno patting hard on Bagas' cheek.

"Ish... what? This hurts." Rajuk Bagas while moving and following Reno approached Alvi.

"You were calling, but not answering." Reno was no less sulking at Bagas. And with his sinless face, Reno sat in the chair behind Avril.

"Hey, that's my chair." Avril puffed her cheeks in annoyance. Reno pinched Avril's cheek with an anxious expression.

"You're like a Kindergarten." Reno.

"Ren's sick." Avril grimaced then grabbed Reno's hand. Alvi clasped Reno's hand firmly until Reno was surprised and turned to Alvi while releasing her from Avril's cheek. The gripping aura felt extremely pressing in the room. Reno was speechless looking at Alvi who was lowered but full of emphasis as if he was threatening her.

"Al. you.."

"Never touch Avril again." Strictly Alvi still refused to raise her head.

"If one of them gets hurt, it's no longer a joke."

"But Al..." Reno let out a long breath for a moment. "I'm sorry, Al. I'm not gonna do that to Avril again." Reno continued down and then looked down.

Bagas casually sat on the sofa while watching the conversation of the people in front of him. Even the fruit provided to Alvi, one by one eaten by Bagas.

Alvi chuckled then laughed contentedly looking at Reno's guilt-filled face.

"You're funny Ren.." said Alvi in between her laughter.

"But you're not funny Al." Decih Reno turned her waver and pulled her hand rough.

"Sorry Ren. But honestly I'm happy to prick you."

"Happy head. I hit that shoulder, you die for a moment."

"Eehhhh don't Ren. If I die, your friend will become a widow later." Avril looked up at Alvi who glanced at her with a continuous laugh.

"Not funny." Avril and Reno said. Seeing that, Alvi then smiled faintly and her gaze became faint.

Reno patted the other Alvi on the shoulder by throwing her sweet smile.

"Hurry to heal. Then teach me and Aldi to be the president that everyone respects." Reno then passed after blurting out those words. "Let's go home. Gas." Reno turned to Bagas who was still busy chewing fruits for Alvi.

"Hey.it's my food. You spent it?" Alvi grew upset looking at Bagas who was now moving with a big smile and then went and closed the door tightly. Before long, the door opened again and revealed Bagas' head only.

"Please ladies and gentlemen continue their courtship." Saying Bagas makes Avril slit. Bagas laughed as he closed the door.

"Thank you for understanding Bagas." Alvi said quietly and could only be heard by Avril.

Avril looked very focused on the closed door. His gaze became faint, and his lips clenched in restraint from repeatedly saying an apology. The wound still on Reno's face reminded Avril of the incident. It is hard to forget what happened to them. Even Avril still does not accept the fact that Aldi's father is dead.

"Aldi must be very sad. After the departure of Amel, now Adam also left him. I would love to accompany him. But it seems that Aldi has fully accepted the presence of Syifa. Why does my chest feel tight? Even though I've been with Alvi, it still hurts to see the person I once loved wholeheartedly join hands with others. Syifa is my friend. Will I be able to accept the fact that Aldi and I are really not a match? If you were helping his family, would Aldi and I still be together? Honestly, I'm short of breath if I keep fantasizing that this isn't real." Avril's involuntary murmur was now holding onto her chest that felt tight.

"Avril... You okay? Why daydream?" alvi's question awakens Avril from her daydream.

"Is it still crowded? And is there something you're thinking about? Aboutwhat? You can talk to me. I'll help you. Don't hold it yourself. That would be so stifling." Alvi rubbed the back of Avril's hand gently. Avril shook her head while throwing a smile.

"What's wrong, Al. I only remember that incident."

"Don't think too much. Now restore your condition first." Alvi patted Avril's cheek gently and hugged Avril's hand tightly, and the other hand held Avril's fingers.

"I'm sorry, Al. I should have been watching you, not thinking of Aldi. Aldi is clearly Syifa's. But I'm afraid if I love you too much, you'll turn away from me too." Muttered Avril who was getting tighter returned Alvi's finger grip. Alvi looked at the hands that were grasping each other but her mind went nowhere.

"Go away. I don't mind you leaving. Recover your pain first, if you need me, I will always be behind you. I'm not leaving." Said Alvi who felt Avril suddenly. Avril frowned trying to guess the meaning of Alvi's words.

"Well, I guessed." Noah said as he opened the door and then entered with someone behind him. Avril was shocked and then pulled her hand from Alvi when she saw Galih's face.

"Sister." Pekik Avril immediately pegged on the spot. Galih held his hand and walked up to Avril and patted her head.

"If you're told to go home, you should go home. Not even to meet polar bears." Galih glanced cynically at Alvi.

"I'm a penguin. Not a polar bear." Reply Alvi does not want to lose.

"Penguins are more suited to you."

"From polar bears. It's cold, ferocious, sangar, uuhhhh..." Alvi shuddered in horror no less mocking Galih.

"Get it started again." Lirih Avril shook her head and scowled her forehead.

Avril sighed in annoyance as the two were already arguing.

"Are you guys going to keep going like this?" Avril asked glanced at the sinister faces of the annoying man in front of her. Not getting a good response from the two, Avril again sighed in annoyance and then pulled Galih's hand away towards the door.

"Let's go home." Avril said without looking back.

"Ehhh Avril.. Where's the goodbye kiss?" Shouting Alvi made Galih turn and then threatened Alvi with a clenched hand code. Alvi chuckles at Galih who can't hit him because of Avril.

"Noah... When do I get home?" Alvi asked after the door was closed by Galih. But Noah instead hit Alvi's head in annoyance.

"You crazy? You think I'm the kind of doctor who lets his patients go home far from being okay."

"You're crazy Noah. Instead of healing, you're making me feel even more pain..." Alvi deliberately kept holding her head.

"Don't talk about when you're home. Lookie! Your shoulders should still be treated regularly every 3 days."

"When are you coming to Noah? That's hurtful. You don't feel what I feel." Rengek Alvi scrambled his hair.

"I don't want your wounds to get worse. It's one of the healing processes. Be patient Al."

"Yes, but when?"

"Until your wounds are completely covered and dry."

"That'll be a long time Noah.I'll die here because I miss Avril."

"Don't exaggerate. Avril will be even more upset if you go home now. Maybe he'll throw your engagement ring straight in your face by saying 'Al. I don't want to have a stubborn husband like you.' Ahemm more or less Avril would talk like that." But Alvi was speechless staring at the silly face of Noah who played the role of Avril.

"Isn't that what you want? Actually, you're the one who wants to throw me with anything and then scold me as much as you? You fucking doctor."

"Haha you know it turns out. I've long harbored this grudge Al. I don't think you can guess my mind Al. hahaha."

"You're quiet. Go there. I want to sleep." Alvi threw her pillow at Noah's laughing face.

"Damn you Alvi.... You have a grudge against me huh?" Noah was about to bang the pillow on Alvi.

"Do you want what?"

"You're killing you." Noah's grin was on his lips.

"Noah" Shouted someone standing on the doorstep.

"Dem-" Noah stopped seeing Demira with an angry face approaching and slapped her cheek hard.
