Endless Taste

09.

"Do I know him?" Ray smiled in response to Avril's question.

"What's he like?" Avril looked at Ray curiously.

"Why is the lady so curious about who the master likes.?" Avril looked nervous and turned her face to find a question from Ray.

"Yes, who knows I know him." Answer Avril.

Ray smiled and then explained.

"Not only beautiful, but also very good. Even everyone who sees will be fascinated by it. He is greatly admired by everyone. And she's also the only girl you love so much." Obviously Ray stared in admiration at Avril. I don't know what Avril felt, Avril looked down. Her heart was so tight, her heart was pounding.

"It's true, just my guess. Ahhh no. I didn't expect him." Avril muttered her head.

"Is the lady okay?" Ray stared worriedly at Avril. Avril looked up and threw her smile.

"I'm fine Ray."

Avril's phone rings. Finding the name listed, immediately Ray's face became flat.

"Miss is still in touch with Mr Aldian?"

Avril shifted her phone screen, and stuck it in her ear. Avril threw a smile in response to Ray's question.

"Hallo." Avril

"Are you busy?" Ask Aldi from sebrang.

"Not really. What's up?"

"Can we meet? My fiancee whines she wants to see you." Avril was silent at what Aldi said. His heart had wanted to refuse, but Avril also felt curious about the girl he chose. Although forced.

"Avil... Do you hear me?" Avril jerked. His face suddenly clouded. Was Avril face to face with someone who he thought had taken Aldi, although in other words, unintentional.

"If you mind it's okay, Avil. I'm not forcing."

"alright. I'll see you." Avril hung up the phone call, and put her phone in a bag. Step towards the door.

"Miss. Didn't you tell the lady to wait here?" Ray's steps follow Avril.

"I have Ray's business. Just tell me I'm leaving with Bagas and Reno." Avril turned around to find Ray right behind her.

"No miss. Miss don't go anywhere. If you know, you'll be angry." Ray pulls Avril's hand, but Avril brushes him off. Staring at Ray sharply.

"Sir, who do you mean Ray? Brother won't be angry if I'm with Bagas and Reno." Avril turned around and looked back. "If what you're talking about is Alvi, why is he angry? He's free to meet Amel's brother." Avril slammed the door of Alvi's room. Ray then followed, about to report to Alvi, but Ray interrupted.

"If I report now, sir will definitely end the meeting immediately." Ray screeched at Avril who was starting to disappear at the end of the hall.

In the taxi, Avril calls Bagas to take her car back to the park.

Arriving at the park, Avril hesitantly walked slowly to the place where she used to meet Aldi.

"What because of the sudden, my feelings are not out of whack. Is my heart going to be okay? I didn't even prepare anything."

Avril's steps are getting heavier. Although from afar, Avril could see Aldi from behind.

"My heart keeps beating. Even though my feelings for Alvi are no longer what they used to be, still if I see a scene like this, my heart can be broken as well."

"Al." Lirih Avril sounded trembling. Aldi smiled as he turned around and looked at Avril. Not with the woman by his side. The two faced, pecked, and both shed tears.

"It-it's impossible" muttered the two.

Like being struck by lightning, Avril's knees felt so limp. It felt like fainting, but Avril continued to strengthen her entire body.

Aldi pulled Avril right in front of his fiancee. Avril's best friend Syifa.

Syifa quickly hugged Avril so tightly.

"Why didn't you say? Why have you been quiet all this time. If you had told me from the beginning that Aldi was the lover you were waiting for." Syifa's sobs are becoming. Avril is not afraid to return Syifa's embrace.

"Cannot be. This is wrong, right? You're not the one. Aldi's fiancee was named Annisa not Syif-" immediately when Avril jerked when remembering the name Syifa which is none other than Annisa Syifa Almaira.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Syifa was hugging Avril. But Avril still did not budge.

"Al. let's talk to our parents to call off this engagement." Avril gasped at what Syifa said. Avril quickly released Syifa.

"Don't be a fool. Not because of me, you guys broke off the engagement. Although Aldi was originally in a relationship with me, but now he's yours. And. even though I love her, I don't want your separation." Avril Strictly. Syifa was astonished, as only this time Avril snapped at him. Whether it was indeed advising him, or Avril was very angry at him.

Syifa was crying again.

Aldi walked to the side of the two women in front of him. Seeing Avril who continued to look tough, but actually his heart was very broken. More devastated than just knowing that Aldi was engaged to another woman.

"Al... Syifa is my best friend. Don't make her cry sometimes, let alone hurt her. He's precious to me." Flat Avril. His mind is completely fucked. It felt like going to an overpass, then dropping into very heavy water.

"Avil.so you and Syifa...."

"I told you he's my friend Aldi." Avril looked at Aldi in annoyance.

From behind, someone patted Avril on the shoulder. Avril looked over, looking at who was coming.

"You okay?" He looked pityfully at Avril.

Avril turned around and faced him.

"Do you know everything? But you didn't tell me anything." Avril's tears began to pour.

"Avril I think you already know. Because you and Syifa are so close." Obviously Bagas was staring at Avril.

Avril took the keys to her car and walked away from them. "I'll go first." He said it the faster it went.

"No. Not anymore." Aldi looked at Avril. Aldi chased after Avril, and managed to pull her hand.

"Take off me Al." Avril Strictly.

"No. I wouldn't make the same mistake. Letting you go in your messed up state of mind, then letting you slam your steering wheel and see you lying in a sick house with wounds all over your body?" Said Aldi getting tighter grasping Avril's hand.

"I'm not that weak. Let go of me." Shouted Avril pulling her hand forcefully. Aldi let go of his grasp, quickly hugging gently Avril who was about to step up.

"Don't go. I beg you.." said Aldi.

"Take me off Al...." Avril slightly pushed Aldi, but Aldi tightened his embrace.

"No. I'm not letting you go again. And you heard for yourself that Syifa also asked to cancel this engagement." Aldi.

"Don't joke Al.." cunningly Avril buried her face on Aldi but did not return his embrace.

"Truly forgive me Avil.." now the sobs of Avril sounded faster.

From afar, right next to the black car, someone stared at Avril and Aldi in annoyance. Turn around, and open the car door, then drive the car away from the place.

"I thought you'd come up to them, then hit the guy who dared to hug my sister." Galih said casually glancing at Alvi who was upset to grab the steering wheel.

"I'm not the kind of person who interferes with other people's pleasures." Alvi still sounded annoyed.

Avril pushed Aldi strongly.

Upon entering the car, Avril was really surprised to find Reno.

"You crying?" Reno stared fixedly at Avril. Avril rubbed her cheek. Then throw a smile at Reno.

"No."

"Don't lie Avril." Reno looks annoyed to see Avril who pretends to be tough in front of him.

"Let me drive. I don't want to die at such a young age." Reno got out and ran, then opened the car door where Avril was still sitting.

"Slide.!" Reno looked in annoyance.

Along the way, no one spoke.

Arriving home, Avril wondered why Alvi's car was here.

"Home home?" Ask someone who sounds really annoying.

"What are you doing?" Avril glanced at Alvi who was standing behind the pole.

"You crying? I thought you were so happy." Sindir Alvi folded his hand.

"What do you mean?" Avril looked at Alvi.

"Didn't you just meet Aldian? And you hugged in public. A very romantic scene." Alvi approached Avril who was getting sharper looking at her.

"You following me?"

"Ahhh.. happens to be very anxious, so I followed you and canceled our important meeting." Avril turned her face away.

"Who's worried about Alvi?" Ask Galih who suddenly stood in front of the door. Alvi was surprised and glanced sharply towards Galih. "Aren't you the one who forced me to follow Avril." Galih continued to make Alvi's face become clouded.

"L-anuu..." Reno raised her right hand when she was right behind Avril.

"I'm sorry to go home." Reno handed Avril the keys.

"Bring me up. And pick up Bagas. Then tomorrow you'll pick me off." Reno fell silent then nodded.

Before Reno enters the car, Alvi calls Reno and turns her face away.

"Thank you for bringing Avril safely."

"What's wrong. Avril my friend, she's precious. How could I have hurt him." Reno smiled and left Avril's house.

"You trust that kid?" Alvi looked at Galih.

"Why not?. You're the one who needs to be careful here." Obviously Galih glanced sharply at Alvi.

"Eehhhh... Why me?" Alvi pointed at herself.

"I want to be alone, brother." Avril said past Galih and ran towards her room. 'Nyuttt' Avril grimaced and sat in the middle of the stairs.

Galih ran when he saw Avril who looked in pain.

"You okay?" Galih grabbed Avril's shoulder.

"My feet hurt." Avril rubbed her broken leg.

"If it always hurts, you shouldn't run." Galih carried Avril to her room.

"Avril.." shouted Alvi following from behind.

"You're quiet. And leave Avril alone." Get out of Avril's room. But Alvi walked up to Avril who was sitting on her bed.

Alvi sat down next to Avril.

"Did he hurt you?" Alvi asked, but Avril kept quiet.

"Alright if you don't want to talk. I get it." Alvi moved from her seat. Just as Alvi was about to step away from Avril, the edge of her shirt arm was pulled slowly by Avril. Alvi turned back to look at Avril who was still lowered.

"Are you going to leave me too?" Lirih Avril's.

"Hmmmm?" Alvi scrunched her forehead.

"Are you going to leave me like Aldi did?" Avril looked up and shouted a little.

Alvi stared fixedly at Avril who started to cry again.

Instantly Alvi felt annoyed when she saw the tears of Avril flowing on her cheeks.

"His engagement is my friend." Lirih Avril made Alvi flinch.

"Although that's the case, you still love her, right?" Tanya Alvi flat.

"I want to forget it Alvi...." Avril getting stronger gripping the end of Alvi's shirt.

"Cur... do you want me to be your impingement material?" Alvi's cold aura began to be felt by Avril. So Avril took off her grip.

"I do love you. But that doesn't mean you can just play with my feelings." Alvi snapped at Avril who was surprised to hear what Alvi said.

"Don't be kidding Alvi. Don't lie that you love me." Her tears were staring at Alvi.

"Yes, maybe you won't believe it, because all you have in your heart is Aldian." Alvi passed by leaving Avril who was still dumbstruck.

Avril kept sobbing no matter what her phone kept ringing. I don't know how many calls he didn't answer.

"Will he be okay?" Alvi turned back to Avril's room.

"Leave it." Answer Galih.

"You're so relaxed. I'm really worried about him." Alvi leaned her body on the sofa.

. Unlike usual, Avril was more silent while on campus.

"Are you mad at me? Avril. if you still love each other, I'll do it." Syifa said grasping the Avril tank.

"No. Not Syifa. I'm fine." Avril threw her smile. "Do I look pathetic? Until you look at me like that?" It was obvious Avril was smiling with tears held back in her eyelids.

"I'm not. I'm just....." Syifa turned her face away.

"Have Syifa." Avril turned her face away. As much as possible should look calm in front of Syifa. Even though doing so requires extra energy.

The rolling time passed just like that, Avril was really getting colder. Not only ignoring every man who likes him, but Reno and Bagaspun no longer care.

Really sad. Reno and Bagas could do nothing to see Avril who was always aloof.

Aldi tried to get to Avril. Sitting beside him, and looking at Avril who did not glance at him in the least.

"It seems you're ignoring my presence." But Avril was still focusing on her novel, as if there was no one beside her.

"Avril I'll call off my engagement." Aldian looked up to Avril. But again Avril seemed not to hear it.

Aldi began to see sadness on the faces of his friends.

Bagas and Reno who began to lose their spirit, made his guidance lecturer wonder not to play.

Syifa who was always moody turned her face during college hours. Avril who always focused on the lesson, and no longer care about anything.

His words grew sharper, and his attitude grew colder.

One day, Sammy goes to Avril to say goodbye. In a little while, Sammy will graduate and leave campus.

"I don't care." Avril said flat and passed leaving Sammy pecking. His heart is torn like a shred.

"It really hurts." Said one of Sammy's friends.

Sammy snorted in response to his friend.

As planned, Reno and Bagas take Avril to a cafe. Avril still silently turned her face out. Look at the passing car.

"Stupid girl. How long are you gonna ignore us?" Bagas pull the collar of Avril's shirt.

"Stop Bagas." Reno mediates. "Return the old Avril." Grumpy Bagas.
