Just An Illusion

Hard decisions

In a car driven by Alvaro, Alvaro looks focused staring straight ahead. His mind was now completely branched, whether the decision he made was really the best or even more messy everything. Breath sounds clearly blowing rough from Alvaro's mouth, making Inara then turned her head immediately upon hearing Alvaro's breath.

"What... Look out Al there's a red light!" inara screamed when she accidentally saw Alvaro who was about to break through the red light at that time.

Hearing a scream coming from Inara just now, then immediately made Alvaro brake suddenly. Alvaro really did not know and also did not focus if in front of him there was a red light at that time, making him immediately take a deep breath when he found himself almost through a red light.

If Inara hadn't just shouted, I don't know what would have happened to her and Inara. Maybe the two of them will end up up up there with a strange problem that befell them at this time.

"Are you okay Ra, I'm really sorry. I was.." said Alvaro, staring worriedly at Inara.

Alvaro was really scared if something happened to Inara and her baby, so that made her panic while continuing to look at Inara from top to toe.

"Al calm down I'm fine, no need to worry... If you don't focus we should stop for a while, don't push yourself like this" Inara said as she tried to calm Alvaro who looks so chaotic at the moment, make Alvaro who heard this then immediately can breathe with relief.

"I'm fine, soon we'll be there so we should just continue our journey" Alvaro said as he refocused his eyes straight ahead.

"Are you sure?" inara asked once more while rubbing Alvaro's shoulder gently.

"Yes, no need to worry" said Alvaro again as he began to drive his car back when he saw the green light just now.

Alvaro Apartment Unit

From the direction of the entrance, Alvaro and Inara began to step foot into the apartment unit area. Alvaro seems to start turning on some lights in the room, which then makes Inara again amazed by the beauty of furniture and also every thing that is in the Alvaro Apartment unit. It seems Alvaro is so picky in furniture and wall paint, making every place Alvaro's property feel so beautiful to Inara.

"For a while we stayed here first, until I found a house that was suitable for the three of us. The matter of clothes and others, later I will ask Dimas to provide a new one. Do you have anything or anything left in the house? Let Dimas bring it for you" Alvaro said, taking some cover covering the sofa and other furniture.

"There were no important items there, just some clothes that I brought from the village. But if it's not a hassle, can you ask Dimas to bring her here?" inara said then with a crisp smile.

"Of course, I'll tell Dimas later." said Alvaro then as he began to move towards the dining table and also the kitchen to check some items there.

Inara who saw Alvaro began to move and also improve, then helped clean up some things there. Making Alvaro who saw Inara do that then began to move his legs closer to where Inara was at this time.

"Is this place yours?" inara asked then with a curious look, making Alvaro immediately frowned instantly upon hearing the question.

"Yes, I lived here right before my wedding and Kikan took place. It was about 11 years ago, after I married Kikan I decided to move to a bigger house and build my House there." said Alvaro then who then made Inara mangosteen because of it.

Silence occurred after Alvaro's last words that discussed his marriage and also Kikan. A feeling of emptiness as well as regret gathered into one in his heart, making an unusual feeling once again fill his heart back then.

"If you are heavy you can let go of me mas, for this child's problem you don't have to worry because of me." said Inara want to try to ease Alvaro's heavy burden at this time.

It's just that unfortunately the words Inara then cut off instantly, so suddenly Alvaro's index finger even stopped right in his mouth at that time and immediately stopped his words.

"Don't say anything Ra, don't make me regret choosing you. So far I hope that what I choose is the best path. So I hope that you do not make my heart doubt and disperse everything." said Alvaro in a tone full of joy, making Inara no longer able to say anything more for fear of hurting Alvaro's heart at this time.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry.." said Inara then who then made Alvaro immediately hugged her tightly.

His decision is now completely unanimous, for a while Alvaro will not return home, hoping that Kikan will realize his mistake and no longer be selfish and think of himself.

Day

In the residence Alvaro precisely in the main room, Kikan was staring blankly in the front while playing the sleeping light button in his room. Kikan turned on and off the sleeping lights in his room several times.

His gaze was then fixed on the wall clock which is now clearly visible shows at 1 am, but until now Alvaro did not go home right after his departure with Inara earlier.

Kikan who began to be upset about Alvaro who did not go home, then spontaneously pulled the sleeping light cable and slammed it just like that. Kikan took a waist-rattled position while clucking annoyed at the realization that Alvaro was getting away from him.

"It looks like you really want to beat the drums of war with me Ra! Let's just see who will be the winner later." shrieked Kikan in an annoyed tone as he felt that Inara was deliberately holding Alvaro back from going home this time and meeting him.
