Endless Taste

. "Who taught you that? Don't stupid. You have a lot of duties. Your body also needs to rest a lot. I have Ray and your brother accompanying me. And sometimes my stepchildren always meet me here." Said Alvi patting the wrath of Avril's forehead. Avril frowned trying to digest Alvi's words.

"Stepson? You married? With who? You said you wouldn't-"

"Sutttt sutttt you're always noisy." Alvi smothered Avril's mouth to be silent.

"I have a lot of stepchildren. And now the kids are out of this room. All that's left of my room is her mother." Alvi continued flatly and then glared as Avril smiled.

"Yes how else. They were abandoned by his father, and whatever my day had to take care of them alone. So I hope you can understand my children's mischief." Avril held back a laugh following Alvi's joke.

"Hemmm you're right. It's just that his mother's got to be small like this."

"Hey.it's bullying. Do you think my kids agree they have an ugly stepdad like you?"

"Ohhhh so they don't approve of you? How pity. I can't imagine how you'd survive without me."

"Yes and I should from now on look for a stepfather again for my naughty children."

"What's? You want to turn away from me?" Shouted Alvi rising from his sleep. Avril could not help but laugh at Alvi's sudden anger.

"Yes. I don't want my kids to have an abusive stepdad like you." Avril leaned back on the chair with her arms in her arms while giving a defiant look to Alvi.

"Avril. I don't want to joke anymore. You always scare me when you're talking about leaving or looking for something else."

"As you say. It's just a joke, right?"

"So I'm afraid of Avril. Isshh. Why don't you understand. I never joke at you." Alvi ruffled her hair in annoyance.

Avril gave a small laugh and then moved from her seat.

"You want to go?" Alvi pulled the hand of Avril who was about to step.

"Well, didn't you tell me to go home?"

"Yes.but...."

"What else?" Avril asked with a sigh of annoyance. Alvi innocently pointed at her cheek and gave the code.

"You want a slap?" Ask Avril again.

"Ishhh cruel you're Avril. Kiss." His sneers made Avril shake in annoyance. Avril patted Alvi's pointed cheek.

"Rapidly recover, president." Avril threw a smile before leaving Alvi.

"Mama see? Avril is so sweet, right? If only my mom were here now. Surely Alvi would be proud to introduce Avril to mama." Muttered Alvi who was smiling staring at Avril's departure.

. In the afternoon, Avril hugged Demira tightly. It was hard to see Demira going far.

"After graduation, I will settle in Indo." Demira's words made Avril smile happily.

"really?" Demira nodded happily in response to Avril's question.

"I'll miss you Dem." Said Aldi patting Demira on the forehead.

"I'm also Di. I'm gonna miss you."

"Wahhh peril. The word misses with feelings." Sindir Bagas glanced cynically at Demira.

"Ohh clearly put on a feeling. Because my hand will be hot if I don't slap Aldi." Said Demira with a sneaky grin.

"Wahhh was I wrong Dem? You still hold a grudge against me." Aldi moved away from Demira.

"Hahaha I do have a grudge against you Aldi. Just wait when I get home again."

"Do you want what?"

"Surprise."

"Ohh hopefully after graduation I'm not in this town." Aldi prayed looking up and raised his hand.

"Where are you going?" Asked Reno who was curious.

"Yes. Who knows if Syifa and I moved out of town after marriage." Reply to Aldi without thinking back. Avril smiled even though her heart now felt throbbing and slashed.

"Even you have a plan." Avril muttered, then turned her face away.

"Sir Dami.." call Avril. Damian turned his head and threw a smile at Avril.

"I'm tipping Alvi. Don't give him hope if you love someone else, better tell him than now. Do not invite regret. Regret that it hurts you." Damian patted Avril on the head by continuing to throw her smile.

Avril looked down and understood what Damian was saying. But even though Avril still keeps the taste for Aldi, now Avril has to erase her feelings for Aldi. Considering he already has Alvi, and Aldi was already blatantly in love with Syifa. Either that is true, or because Aldi sees Avril now happy with Alvi. Because removing the stored flavor for 5 years it will not be easily lost in just one year. At times the feeling will reappear if the two continue to meet each other.

"I'll take Avil. Don't let him be sad." Demira stared hopefully at Baren with teary eyes.

"You're crying yourself." Reno patted Demira's cheek gently. In the end, goodbye is good-bye.

Damian and Demira stepped further and further away from Avril, Aldi and Baren.

. The day changed again, Alvi was bored every day he spent to stay silent in the room. Until finally, after almost 3 weeks had passed, Noah removed the infusion attached to Alvi's hand.

"Finally.." said Alvi smiling with relief.

"What's last?" Noah asked who was astonished.

"I can finally date Avril hahaha again.." Noah looked silly at the face of Alvi who looked so happy.

"Yes. And I'm sure you haven't been out of here for a full day, you'll be back here again. Hahahhaha" this time it was Noah's turn to laugh in satisfaction.

"Ehemmm. sorry doctor. This is a hospital." Tegur Ray smiled politely.

"Stop smiling Ray. I'm not gonna fall in love with you." Delik Noah made Ray draw his smile.

"Sorry doctor. I've been engaged a long time." Ray replied, throwing a smile back.

"I've been Ray." Timpal Alvi with his arrogant face.

"Cih....why long engaged but never married?" Cetus Noah was satisfied.

"From you, not engaged, not married, not knowing when."

"Wah Alvi, be careful when you speak. Even though you proposed to Avril and had an engagement, who knows who Avril's real soul mate is, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, maybe you know what I mean by yourself. You could be Avril's fiancee now, but later Reno, Bagas, or even Aldi would be her husband." Noah smiled triumphantly. But unexpectedly, Alvi grabbed the collar of Noah's shirt with a face full of anger.

"Say what you mean fucking."

"Sir, relax..." Ray tried to break both of them.

"I can separate you from Demira if I want to." Alvi said after releasing her grip and slightly pushed Noah.

"Sorry Alvi." Speak to Noah with a face without feeling guilty.

"Master..." Ray relentlessly advised Alvi while continuing to follow in his footsteps.

Noah stared at Alvi's departure and was still standing in his place.

. Alvi stared intently at the street in front of him and still ignored Ray's babble that advised him. Ray forbids him from going to the company but still delivers it.

"You're a weird Ray. You forbid me, but you drove me too."

"So you're going home?" Asked Ray enthusiastically.

"No. I want to see the condition of the company." Reply Alvi no less relaxed.

"Sir....."

"What else Ray? Don't persuade. After all since when did you dare to oppose my decision?"

"Pardon me sir. I'm just worried about you." Ray was getting closer to staring ahead with still focusing on driving.

"Hemmm I heard you cried when I was unconscious?" Goda Alvi smiled mockingly.

"Tu-mom knows where?" Ray's face was suddenly shocked.

"From Nadia. He saw you staring out of the glass with tears falling just like that." Hearing that fact, Ray smiled without turning to Alvi.

"I'm too afraid to lose my lord. Until I unknowingly dropped my tears."

"What's wrong Ray. If you want to cry, just cry. Not because we are men, we refrain from crying. That's even more stifling. Even the wound will be more painful. I-i know. You're scared because you don't know who's gonna be your place to go, right?" Ray initially fell silent, then nodded slowly in response to Alvi's question.

"Right now, just the master where I'm going home. It feels like to return to my hometown, it will only make me more depressed and continue to blame myself. Plus my brothers will come to blame me." Ray's saying is getting better.

"I also thank you Ray. You've been willing to accompany me, and become my family's replacement. Maybe I wouldn't be without you like this, too, Ray. I will not be a wise president. Maybe if it wasn't you accompanying me, I could have been an arrogant and emotional leader."

"Master praised me too much. We're both lonely, sir, so we complement each other with empty space." Ray threw a smile with an occasional look at Alvi. Alvi always sits at the wheel, because unlike others, Alvi does not consider Ray as his assistant or secretary. Alvi thinks of Ray as an older brother who always accompanies her younger brother.

"I'm still normal Ray. What happens if Avril finds out you're talking like this? Must be Avril thinking I'm cheating on you." Cetus Alvi with a flat expression.

"I'm normal, too. If I'm normal, maybe I won't like Tania."

"It could be that what you like is Bagas, right?"

"Sir..it's too cruel."

"Ahahaha joking Ray. upss I mean big brother." Ray heard the name. Ray glanced at Sayu at Alvi then smiled faintly. Is it appropriate for him to be a brother to someone as great as Alvi? I thought so Ray.

"I think it's too much, sir. I don't deserve to be a brother to you. I'm really nothing compared to you."

"Ahaha don't go low on Ray. Told you. It is I who is nothing without you. You helped me Ray. I'm sorry I haven't been able to give you anything valuable."

"Master don't talk like that. I am very grateful to you for everything you have given me. It's more than valuable. I honestly don't deserve that, sir."

"What's wrong Ray. I trust you. That humble attitude of your heart is what attracted me to you." Alvi patted Ray on the shoulder with a small laugh accompanying her.

"I've got Tania sir." Cetus Ray makes Alvi hit him harder.

"You think I like you in Ray's quotes?" Tanya Alvi changed herself into cold mode.

"I'm sorry my master was just joking. Please don't take heart."

"You can joke too? I thought you could just stand up straight, look polite, and smile stiffly at Ray." Ejek Alvi laughed again.

"Home home?" Seen a message on the screen Alvi's phone from someone special.

"Already" ~Alvi

"Goodoo.

Straight break.

Don't travel.

Take care of your health."~Avril

"Wahhhh he's bringing again." Cetus Alvin.

"Yes dear. I'm just going to the company for a second. Miss Joseph sir." ~Alvi.

"No... Why are you so stubborn? Shouldn't go anywhere. Your wounds are so bad." ~Avril.

Alvi laughed at Avril's annoyance which usually always puffed her cheeks.

"You must have puffed your cheeks." ~Alvi

"Indeed" ~Avril.

"Ishhh I want to kiss you." ~Alvi

"Ishhh I want to slap you too." ~Avril

"Please if you have the heart." ~Alvi

"Leave you alone I'll take care." ~Avril

"Yes already. Go then! I won't stand in your way." ~Alvi

"Ahaha kidding." ~Avril.

But there was no reply from Alvi to make Avril anxious. Is the joke excessive? Avril again sent a message but Alvi deliberately did not retaliate with the intention of judging Avril. At once Alvi wanted to know how Avril was if she was angry. Alvi thinks that Avril will be angry if she is silenced, so Alvi casually closes her eyes and saves her phone. After some time passed, the sound of Alvi's phone continued to disturb his ears. Outraged, Alvi grabbed and saw what was on her phone. Instantly implied the look on Alvi's face changed. His smile expanded when he saw dozens of messages from Avril. From saying her name, Alvi smiled happily. Until Alvi scrunched her forehead and laughed at her message calling her "honey", "husband's sister", "husband". Then Alvi frowned more and more astonished to see his call getting strange. From "pak polar bear", "penguin handsome", to "mas mate". Alvi laughed out loud how adorable Avril was to him. But Alvi is still reluctant to reply to Avril's message. Until finally, the car stopped in the parking area of company D. Alvi came down and was warmly welcomed by some leaders who had arranged to pick up Alvi.

Alvi's steps came to a halt as her phone rang. His smile re-expanded when the name of Avril called out to him. Alvi then gives her phone to Ray who is astonished by it.

"Why me sir?"

"I'm trying to destroy it." Alvi continues to thrust his phone at Ray until Ray was forced to obey Alvi's wishes.

"Hey-hallo..."

"Alvi.... Why is my message not answered?" Avril screamed at Ray's ear until Ray moved his phone away. Alvi looks laughing satisfied looking at Ray's expression.

"This is my lady. Ray's."

"Where's Alvi?"

"Master is...." Ray glanced at Alvi confused as to what to answer. Alvi gave a code that he was busy.

"It's busy, miss." Ray is excited.

"Busy or running away from responsibility?" Ray looked up at Avril's question. What does it mean with responsibility. Ray turned to look at Alvi who was smiling broadly at him.

"No way" murmured Ray.
