Little Bride Alvaro

109. Persuading Alvaro

In that room, it was like a workplace that was moved. Alvaro was busy with his computer in the room. He did work at home, doing meetings virtually, did not want to get out of his private room at all.

The door was locked from the inside, only when the servant who had conspired with him brought food secretly did it open.

He wanted to see the reaction of his mother, whether it was still kekeh separated himself from Azlina. Whether the woman who had given birth to him had the heart to see the future of his child destroyed just because of his ego alone.

A small frame placed on the table is now Alvaro's concern. His hand grabbed the frame, rubbing his thumb on the surface of the clear glass. It was a picture of him with Azlina during the graduation ceremony of the wife a few days ago.

Slowly his hand raised the frame, carrying it with both hands. Longing to instantly shackle, tormenting the heart. Alvaro could not resist the feeling, eager to meet Azlina, shedding his feelings of longing and passionate love. But how can it? While his mother would definitely suspect if he decided to get out of the room.

"Patience, yes. Brother will definitely bring you back."

Alvaro muttered to himself, kissing Azlina's radiant face on the frame. Her dream of having a small family was in sight, but she had to fight for all of that if she wanted to grab onto it.

Just as Alvaro put the frame back on the table, a knock on the door sounded in his ear. He turned his attention for a moment towards the door, then let out a rough sigh.

"Al, open the door. There's Almeera here."

There's no word from a blow on the door. Alvaro instead moved to bed, lying there while carrying the Azlina photo frame with him.

"Al, Mama please come out! Don't hurt yourself by locking yourself up like that! Azlina doesn't deserve your huge sacrifice. You should be more assertive as the head of the household."

The middle-aged woman finally stopped knocking on the door, went from the front of Alvaro's room, went down the stairs to meet Almeera. His face was so sour that he could not convince Alvaro to open the door.

Almeera greeted Mama Rani with a pleasant graceful smile. She invites Mama Rani to sit on the long sofa of the living room.

"He won't open the door. Aunty was already confused on how to persuade Alvaro to come out. Auntie's afraid she's okay."

"Patience, Tan. We can persuade him slowly. Is it possible that Azlina told him to do all that? Honestly, I suspect that. I've known Alvaro for a long time. He's a grown man who always wants to deal with his problems properly, not sulk like this."

Almeera tries to influence Mama Rani. He was afraid when Sean Paderson asked about his work, so that if there is something that makes his career destroyed, he still has Alvaro as a supporter of his luxury life.

"Tante also thinks like that, but ...." Mama Rani's words hang. The woman hesitated a little about her thoughts. Is what he did right, or is it just him who does not want to admit his mistake because of the misunderstanding that Alvaro has been explaining to him?

A sense of pride to apologize makes him dark in the eyes, blinding the heart of the truth that is clearly in sight. However, he was still injured to see Alvaro did not want to open the door to just meet him face to face. Moreover, the man is the only child of his puppet, the place to pour out all affection. And this time, he felt that there was something lacking in his life, but still stubborn to insist on his own will.

"Auntie take it easy, yeah. Tomorrow I'm here again, trying to persuade Alvaro again." Almeera said by rubbing Mama Rani's hand, trying to convince the woman if she could take Alvaro's heart again.
