Little Bride Alvaro

102. The Endured Miss

Tonight was the first night the man slept alone after parting ways with Azlina. He tried to close his eyes, close the eyelids so that drowsiness was immediately present in his sleep. However, it seems like all is in vain. Alvaro couldn't even bring that sleepiness in him .

Mama Rani's hurtful-sounding words were still imprinted in her memory. She must convince her mother that Azlina is not a bad woman. Maybe, he'll involve Almeera. He told the woman to tell him the truth that what she had been saying was just a misunderstanding. There was no love between them from before until now.

...***...

Two days passed, Mama Rani still did not talk to Alvaro. The woman silenced her beloved son, hoping Alvaro would apologize for his words the other day. He was still heartbroken by Alvaro's words that were considered rude.

"Ma, until when did Mama shut up?"

Mama Rani doesn't care. He chewed his food silently, ignoring Alvaro who was talking to him.

Not spending the contents of the plate, Mama Rani downed a glass of water to finish her morning breakfast. "Mama forward, yeah, Pa." Without looking at Alvaro, Mama Rani moved from her seat, ahead of the delivered one.

Papa Agus who saw the cold attitude of his wife just shook his head. He smiled at Alvaro, then patted his son on the shoulder as he passed by. "Papa has an idea."

Alvaro frowned at the strange smile of his papa. "I mean Papa?"

"You know, don't you think Mama loved you all this time? Mama sulked at you because you didn't comply with her wishes. But, you need to remember a mother will never have the heart to see her child suffer." Papa Agus paused his sentence, waiting for Alvaro to digest every sentence spoken from his lips. However, the man who is usually smart to study something becomes suddenly blunt related to the feelings of a woman.

"So?"

"Yes, Mama wouldn't have the heart to see you suffer. You can use Mama's affection to get her blessing."

Alvaro understood what his father meant. He smiled as he agreed. If by persuading can not change the woman's stance, then she will be someone who slumped in order to get the sympathy of the Mama.

"Thank you, Pa."

The man rubbed Alvaro's head before finally stepping away to meet his wife who was waiting in front of the house.

...***...

"Sir, ...."

Azlina's voice sounded a little hoarse from across there. This is the fourth night where the couple can't see each other.

"Are you sick?"

"Heem." An Azlina slab did, but of course Alvaro could not see it. "Lacking of rest. I just came home this afternoon. How's Brother doing?"

Silence stretched between them. The simple question that Azlina spoke was able to bring out the longing that had been suppressing in the soul. Alvaro tilted his sleep position, putting the phone in front of his face, turning the phone call into a video call. One hand held a hug on a roll that he had previously ignored.

"good. Brother miss you, Zi?"

The sentence was only responded to by a smile by Azlina. It was a little strange to hear Alvaro mention himself as "Sister" to him. I don't know why the corner of his eye started to glaze over. He also missed, but could do nothing.

"Mama didn't forgive me, did you, brother? Mama must have liked Meera too much. I can't compete with Brother Meera in front of Mama." Azlina said softly, her sentence filled with lamentation. He wanted to regroup, but felt powerless to fight.

"You calm down, yeah. My brother is struggling. Pray for my sister to melt my mother's heart."

"Yes, I always pray for you." Silence returned to say hello, only the sound of breathing from the video call, staring at each other, enjoying each other's faces full of longing. Until his mind remembered something, the woman said one thing to Alvaro.

"Sister, tomorrow there's a diploma. I haven't told the same Father Ibuk. You have not recovered properly, while Ibuk must keep you at home. Did I just ask Bang Ahsan for help to get it?" Azlina asked as well as giving another initiative, but Alvaro immediately prevented it.

"Don't! Don't tell anyone. Brother will take it for you."

"Aren't you working?"

"Heem, Brother can set the time." Alvaro glanced at the wall clock in his room, already showing ten o'clock at night. Azlina should have rested, but she was disturbing her little wife. "It's night. Go sleep! We'll see you tomorrow, okay?" The man smiled after saying it. "Wear the kebaya, huh? You must be so pretty."

Azlina simply gave a smile, nodding. "Yes, put on the kebaya. Tomorrow you'll see it, won't you?"

"certain. Brother won't miss that. We'll take a photo together. Now you're sleeping, huh? Sweet dreams."

He nodded, obeying Alvaro's orders. "So too."

The video call ended with the words love being expressed to each other. A smile could not be hidden from Azlina's face. There was joy in his heart. Yes, tomorrow he can meet with Alvaro again, and the man will be his guardian to take his school diploma on the day of graduation. He began to close his eyes, hoping that a good dream would soon seep into his deep sleep.

》Again, yes ... Leave a trace 😁✌
