"You're disgusting!"
Almeera was about to leave the room, but Alvaro restrained his arm.
"Take care of what you say, Almeera!"
"So speech? You have to take care of your animal-like behavior. It's worth it that you care so much about him, because you guys turned out to be a disgusting dark couple!"
"Enough!" Alvaro raised his voice.
Almeera smiled sinisterly, ignoring the look of anger on Alvaro's face. I don't know why he felt disappointed by what his eyes had just seen. The shadow of Alvaro was a figure of a good man who like all this time he was known to be ruined already. Sleeping cousins themselves according to Almeera can only be done by people. Moreover, the girl who was fucked was still in school.
He wanted to throw Alvaro's hand which was currently holding his arm, but Alvaro's subsequent words left the woman shocked in disbelief.
"You should know. Azlina, that high school girl is .. my wife."
"A-pa?! You're kidding." Almeera said softly, denying Alvaro's words.
"i'm serious. We are religiously legitimate, Meera. She's my wife."
Azlina, who heard Alvaro's honest words, was still on the spot, not expecting the man to admit his relationship even though Azlina knew that Almeera was Alvaro's dream woman. That confession killed Alvaro's dream of getting the woman.
If Alvaro chooses his marriage over his love for Almeera, Azlina may also consider the relationship, giving up the Eagle for others to have and start accepting Alvaro. Since it seems like living with a much more mature man like Alvaro is not a bad thing, Azlina starts to feel comfortable with the man.
"When did you get married?" The question came out of Almeera's lips with a face full of tension.
"Two days ago."
"So, you've been lying to me all this time?"
Alvaro still retains Almeera's hand, detaining the woman from escaping him. Until he let out a heavy sigh, started to admit the things he should have kept secret.
"We were forced to marry for a reason. Azlina and I have no relationship. Maybe we'll split up if Azlina has found the right guy who loves her and is loved by her."
Azlina, who had been looking down just to be a listener, was now looking forward to where Alvaro and Almeera were arguing. He clenched his hidden hand on the left side. Azlina did not expect that Alvaro had revealed the secret of their marriage to Almeera. It should be a secret for both of them, right? However, the man easily told Almeera everything.
"I ... love you, Ra. I've been waiting for you all this time, but you don't seem to care about me. You chose Ren who doesn't care about your feelings at all. Yeah, I was mad when Ren treated you like that, but there's nothing I can do because we're nothing more than friends."
Azlina heard Alvaro's confession to Almeera looking down. I don't know why he was so disappointed in that guy. Recalling how last night the man had seen her body, then hugged her tightly while sleeping together, made Azlina's heart ache. Is he only considered a child who will then be returned to his parents?
I don't know what she's feeling right now, Azlina doesn't understand at all. It felt very uncomfortable, pain mixed with disappointment. Until he chose to lower his face, not wanting to see what might happen in front of him.
"Al, I'm sorry." Almeera's face looked sad, her eyes started to glaze over. She feels misjudged by Alvaro, the man turns out to love her even though she has another man.
"No need to apologize. You have the right to choose whoever you want. Because it's your choice, your future." Alvaro said without staring at Almeera. His gaze was blank after confessing his feelings to the woman.
However, who would have thought if Almeera's next attitude made Alvaro melt at that moment.
The woman hugged Alvaro, buried her face in the man's chest. "I'm sorry, Al. I don't want to lose a friend like you. Ren always hurt me, but I don't know why I'm so hard to get away from him. I wanted to get away from him, but I couldn't. I should how?"
Seeing Alvaro let Almeera hug him, and the man seemed to receive the hug with joy, enough to make Azlina growled. Alvaro asks Azlina not to make physical contact with another man, but what is Alvaro currently doing before him? The man hugged another woman without shame.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Azlina banged on the door she was leaning against while closing her eyes. He feels played. Although Alvaro never touched her like a husband and wife, but he felt he had lost something valuable. The man had seen his innocent body, even the man wiped every inch of his body with a warm towel. Isn't that too much?
A pretend relationship shouldn't go that far. The man took a chance in Azlina's helplessness. What will she say to her future husband if it turns out there is another man who has seen himself in the same condition.
"Basic, old man sucks!" then shouted.
...***...
"I want to go home."
"Yes, we're going home." Alvaro drove with a happy smile. It seemed like Almeera and Alvaro's relationship was progressing, so the man looked cheerful at the moment.
"I want to go home, Mom. I want to stay there."
"What's? All right, tonight we'll go to your parents' house." Alvaro obeys Azlina's wishes. His heart was happy, so he did not mind his wife's request.
"no need. I'm the only one staying over. I want to sleep with Ibuk. I ... miss Ibuk. Brother just come home after driving me."
"What?" Now that Alvaro looked confused, he noticed Azlina who was usually cheerful and talkative suddenly cold and quiet. Talk as necessary.
Silent. Azlina didn't want to answer Alvaro's question. The girl turned to the side, looking towards the buildings and trees that seemed to move backwards as the car she was riding in walked.
Not wanting to ask much, Alvaro followed what Azlina wanted. He realized that Azlina was still so young. Moreover, the girl is the youngest child which before marrying the girl must have gotten so much abundance of affection from her family.
"I'm taking you in, huh?" Alvaro was about to remove his seatbelt, but Azlina forbade him.
"I can get in by myself. Brother just go home." Azlina stretched out her hand to Alvaro, kissing the back of the man's hand to say goodbye.
Before Alvaro grabbed Azlina's head to kiss the girl's forehead, Azlina dodged. "Assalamu'alaikum" Azlina said later by opening the car door. Without waiting for her greeting to be answered by Alvaro, Azlina stepped away.
The cold attitude Azlina showed was so disturbing. The girl changed her attitude immediately after leaving the hotel. Alvaro lowered his car glass, shifted his seat, then slightly bent his head out.
"I'll pick you up in the morning."
Azlina stopped her steps. He turned around then, back to the car. Azlina's gaze was so flat, she seemed reluctant to look at Alvaro.
"No need, Brother. I'll be home early in the morning to pick up my book and my uniform. Brother doesn't have to bother. Have fun without me!"
Azlina immediately left after saying that, opened the gate of her house, then closed it back without looking at Alvaro's car.
