Endless Taste

. "Dem.. What's wrong with you?" Noah rubbed his cheeks rough and looked in wonder at the lover.

"Why did you bring the word dead to Alvi?." Noah gasped at Demira's words. It was only fitting that Demira was so angry with him. Maybe this reminds him of what happened in London.

"Dem. Sorry Dem. Me and Alvi are just kidding." Noah tries to calm Demira's worries. But Demira repeatedly brushed Noah's hand away.

"Dem. Don't cry like that. There's no way Noah's gonna kill me anyway." Said Alvi trying to help calm Demira who is now sobbing.

"That's why I'm afraid. You are my brother after all. And I'm afraid I'll lose you."

"Yes, I know you love me. Here I hug." Alvi said as she slightly stuck out her hand and glanced at Noah who was looking at her sharply. Noah quickly grabbed Demira and hugged her tightly.

"Highly injured patients are prohibited from hugging. It can cause the wound to reopen. It can even lead to death." Cetus Noah doesn't want to let Demira go.

"I didn't die because of my wounds, but because you killed me fucking." Alvi held her hand and looked at Noah full of ridicule.

"Come on Demi. We better get out. Alvi should rest." Noah carried Demira who was still in his arms.

"Let go of me first Noah. I'm having a hard time walking." Hearing that, Alvi laughed out loud.

"Well, there's a demon coming in. You saw Dem. Your cousin became like that." Said Noah who pulled Demira's hand and rushed out of the room.

"Isn't he like that because of your fear?" Demira asked plainly and still followed Noah's footsteps.

"What do you mean?" Noah stopped and turned to look at Demira who was closing her lips.

"You're saying I'm crazy?" Noah asked again with his hands. Demira shook her head while holding back a laugh.

"Well, you've been brave..." Noah looked up at Demira, who could not help but laugh.

"I'm not the one talking." Demira raised both of her hands. Noah pinched Demira's cheek so hard that Demira grimaced in pain.

"Fucking pain." Cetus Demira glanced cynically at Noah while rubbing his throbbing cheek.

"I'm a doctor here. What's that hurt? I'll cure you, baby." Noah whispered and smiled broadly. But Demira just turned her face away from Noah's sight.

"My heart is sick. Especially if you have to face the fact that you still love Avil." Now Demira turned her head and returned Noah's gaze. Noah drew his smile and fell silent. Her mind kept asking why Demira knew that she liked Avril.

"Don't be surprised. I've known it a long time ago. If it wasn't for Alvi coming first in Avil's life, I knew you would..."

"Even if Alvi doesn't come into Avril's life, I won't be able to reach her Dem. Several times the situation gave me a gap and a chance, but I was not in line with Avril."

"Stay with Noah. You love Avil, don't you? You approached me just for-"

"No Dem. I've been watching you for a long time. I was interested and liked Avril, but it was nothing more than admiring. So don't think I don't love you." Noah grabbed Demira and gently stroked her hair.

"I also know Dem. You and Bagas are still holding each other's feelings, right?" Demira nodded at Noah's question.

"Not what. Because I believe that you won't leave me."

"What if I leave you?" Tanya Demira took off Noah's embrace.

"If that's your decision, then go."

"Aren't you afraid of losing me?"

"It's not that we're not afraid, it's just that it feels useless if we defend what we're supposed to let go of."

"You mean?"

"You will understand." Noah patted Demira's forehead slowly and then passed towards another doctor's room. Demira walked back to Alvi's room. Alvi is forced to sleep. Although it was clear that Alvi did not want to fall asleep, her behavior made Demira hold back her laughter.

"If you don't want to, why force it." Said Demira sitting on the sofa.

"Silent Dem. I need to rest and heal."

"Ehh. answered."

"Dam....." Alvi let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Yes yes Alvi." Demira gave a small laugh at Alvi's annoyance.

. On the way, Galih continued to lecture Avril. Avril who was still limp only listened without responding by leaning against the car glass.

"Avril... Are you listening to your brother or not?" Galih glanced cynically at Avril after noticing that her sister was just daydreaming not listening to her babble.

"Yes yes I heard.." delik Avril sighed heavily.

"Dad probably didn't come home tonight. So you slept in Nadia's apartment."

"alone?" Avril asked turned to Galih.

"You think after that incident I'll leave you alone?"

"But when I'm in the hospital, I'm always on my own."

"Eh.. emmm.. haha... emmm that...."

"Already brother. I know my brother is very busy. And it's all my fault." Lirih Avril returned to focus leaning and looking far ahead.

"Avril. This is already happening. No one to blame. If anything has to go wrong. Maybe from the beginning of the story should have been father did not experience a decline in shares and almost bankrupt. Maybe I can help Adam and Aldi not have to accept his match with your friend. If only..."

"There's no need to imagine, brother. It all happened and no one needs to regret it. I accept the way. Because of that too, I met Alvi."

"When are you married?" Garth asked a little to surprise Avril.

"I want to graduate first, brother. And want to feel how to make money."

"You've got everything you want. And you don't like shopping either. Why do you want to work?"

"Sister.I also want to feel what it's like to buy things with my own hard work. Not just asking for brother and father."

"Who said you'd keep asking brother and dad."

"Sister mean?"

"After you married Alvi. You'll be a great mistress and Alvi herself won't let you work."

"Know where? I will persuade Alvi that I can work even if I get married later."

"Hemmmmm so is it true that you're willing to marry the penguin monster?" Ejek Galih makes Avril wrong.

"Yeah. right. i-this is just. Brother always mocks me." Avril turned her face and puffed her cheeks.

"Are you angry?" Galih pinched Avril's cheek with anxiety. Avril got increasingly upset and turned her body to turn her back to Galih.

"Hey.you're like Nadia's cat when you're angry. Haha"

"Ihhhh why did you give birth to a bad boy like you. Mama. He keeps mocking me." Shouted Avril in the car.

"Avril the naughty ma..." Galih was no less shouting with teary eyes.

"Ihhh brother crybaby. Want to cry yes.." mocked Avril a little laugh and nudged Galih's arm that was driving. Galih rubbed her dewy eyelids and threw a smile at Avril.

"You're the loser Avril. Your tears are up your chin." Galih was no less mocking Avril.

"Sister started." Rengek Avril rubbed her face that was already covered in tears.

. Arriving at the tomb, Avril bought flowers first. Both of them were surprised to see the tomb of the mother who had been menziarahi. Seen from the flowers are still a little fresh and the soil is still wet drenched in water. Avril and Galih looked at each other as if asking who had visited his mother's grave.

Avril was very focused on praying for her mother. Until it was finished, Avril moved and followed Galih behind him.

"I want to go home first." Avril said as she continued walking.

"Yes" answered Galih briefly.

. The days changed, the longer, Alvi's wounds began to improve. Same with Avril. One month of his internship he replaced with a report paper. Because if you continue to go down to the field, in addition to just counting days, Avril's condition is still not possible to continue his internship.

Avril slowly opened the door of Alvi's room. Spacious room with VIP facilities. Demira is seen there sitting on the sofa while opening one by one magazine sheet. And Alvi was fast asleep.

"Av-"

"The...." Avril interrupts telling Demira to shut up so that Alvi does not wake up. Avril approached Alvi and sat down on the bedside chair. Avril looked at the pale face of Alvi. Recollecting Galih's regrets the other day. But Avril thought again that if Aldi was still with her, would the relationship be okay? Will he meet Alvi? Basically everything is destined and goes according to the path it should be. And there should be no regrets.

"Dem.." call Avril without looking back.

"Yes.." Demira looked up at Avril's unraveling hair.

"What do you regret now?" Ask Avril who sounds serious.

"Speak what you're Avil..." Demira smiled then refocused on the magazine.

"I'm sorry to meet Alvi Dem." Lirih Avril but still heard by Demira. Demira stopped her activities by still staring at the magazine.

"If Alvi hadn't met me, maybe she wouldn't have been in constant trouble and this might not have happened to her either." Avril continued to look far at the ring that was circular on Alvi's ring finger.

"If only Dem. Right now, honestly, I can't see Alvi's condition like this. If only we hadn't met. Maybe Amel's brother is still there now."

"Avil stop."

"Dem... Why didn't I just die back then?"

"Avil is enough." Demira put down the magazine harshly. "What are you thinking? Al. Stop him from talking." Avril turned her head on the face of Alvi who was staring at her flatly.

"You're ugly Al." Said Avril with an expression no less flat. Alvi did not respond to anything. His hand grabbed Avril's head and patted her softly.

"Go away. I don't want to be a barrier between you and Aldi." Avril grabbed Alvi's hand and held her tightly.

"Al.." said Demira who moved from her seat.

"Are you really willing if I go?" Tanya Avril put Alvi's hand on her cheek.

"You think?"

"If you're not willing, don't talk like you're so prepared for loss."

"If it makes you happy, I have to be willing, right?"

"But I'm not willing to leave you."

"You why Avril?" Alvi frowned in surprise at Avril's attitude today.

"I'm afraid of losing you fucking." Avril lowered her head still holding Alvi's hand.

"You're being honest, dear." Alvi chuckled then moved up and sat leaning back.

"I want to go home." Rengek Alvi stared at the infusion that stuck in his hand.

"Don't be stubborn. You're not recovered."

"You're not crying anymore?" Avril shook her head then chuckled.

"Am I just a show here?" Mumbled Demira who looked silly at the couple in front of him. Demira sat down and pinched her temple then let out a heavy sigh.

"If you're jealous, just call Noah here." Cetus Alvi is aware of Demira's discomfort.

"Silence you're a fucking." Demira stared cynically at Alvi who was laughing mocking her.

A little while later, came a horde of Alvi's vandals. The other one is Reno Cs.

"Dea.." call Avril half yelling.

"Avril..." Dea was no less excited then hugged Avril.

"You're cured?" Dea asked after letting go of her embrace. Avril nodded in response.

"Emm Avril. I was thinking that you were Reno's affair." Instantly the room became silent as the word was thrown. Then simultaneously, their laughter broke out. Alvi just smiled looking at Avril who was laughing.

"I love you more." Muttered Alvi who refused to turn his gaze away from Avril.

And Demira did not laugh. Demira just smiled looking at Avril's happiness. Although friends, but still there is jealousy if you see it close to others.

"Without me, you're fine, Avil." muttered Demira, who moved and quietly left the place. Avril who realized, then grabbed Demira's hand and took her into their chat.

"You know? For the sake and Bagas it..."

"Awil....." Demira and Bagas were wide-eyed and then closed Avril's mouth together.

"Ehemm hemm heeeeeemmmmmm." - Aldi and Reno. Suddenly Demira withdrew her hand, but Bagas still shut Avril's mouth.

"Hey Bagas. If you still want to live, keep your hands off Avril." Firmly Alvi made Bagas shiver to hear it.

"Your voice is scarier than the ghost of Al.." Bagas rubbed his neck.

"He is a ghost." Cetus Reno's.

"What ghost?" Ask Bagas who noticed Reno's joke.

"The ghost of Avril's heart. ahahaha" Reno laughed in satisfaction.

"Ishhh what are you doing here? If you want to bother me, just wait for me to heal." Alvi said in annoyance.

"I miss you Alvi..." Bagas approached Alvi and spread his hand.

"Stay away from me. Avril... help me.." cried Alvi took the pillow as a shield so that Bagas did not touch it.

"Avril.." Alvi's voice shrieked in fear.

"Why are you afraid of me? Don't you remember that you asked me out?"

"I told you I'm taking Avril instead of you fucking. I'm normal too. You want me to kill?" Suddenly Alvi's voice came back creepy.

The door opens and shows Noah with a beautiful nurse. Demira stared intently at Noah. Noah becomes nervous to find Demira's bullying gaze.

"Kids.. Papa Alvi's got to go through the examination, so you guys get out first." Noah smiled kindly.

"Good doctor." Answer Avril cs in unison and then get out of the room.

"I kill you if you get too close to him." Demira's whisper stopped beside Noah. Lacing emphasis.
