Alvaro gushed straight up his body that had been sleeping on Azlina's lap. He was still surprised to realize Almeera suddenly came to his house, but previously the woman did not even want to visit his house to meet him introduced to Mama Rani.

While Azlina just looked at Almeera with a frown, she did not like it. Whether since the woman hugged Alvaro at the hotel, Azlina already disliked Almeera. His instincts as a fellow woman made the girl become antipathy to the figure of the woman in sexy clothes.

"Why is Meera coming?" Azlina began to open her voice after their endless silence.

"I want to meet him." Almeera looked at Alvaro, "But you seem to be busy. I'll go first."

Seeing Almeera leave the place without waiting for her to speak, Alvaro immediately got up to chase after her, but Azlina seemed to disagree. The girl clasped Alvaro's hand, trying to keep him from leaving. In an instant it felt like the time together with the man felt so little.

"Sir, ...." Azlina shook her head, her eyes showing a plea for Alvaro not to chase after Almeera. Alvaro, however, did not understand. The man leaned over, gave a warm kiss on Azlina's forehead, then let go of the girl's hand afterwards.

Alvaro hurriedly moved from his position, half running out of the house to chase after Almeera.

Unknowingly, the tears had already escaped at the corner of Azlina's eyes. Somehow he would not be willing if Alvaro left just to pursue Almeera. After what they did together, the girl assumes Alvaro is hers. Until when the man decided to pursue Almeera, he felt unwilling.

Azlina's hands seemed clenched by grasping the end of the sofa she was sitting on. His eyes stared at the front of the table where the chocolate they had previously fought over was now lying there. He should be happy because he is no longer fighting over chocolate with Alvaro, but he is not. That chocolate doesn't look tempting anymore. As if his charm and enjoyment had vanished as Alvaro went after Almeera.

Azlina moved away from the sofa, wanting to catch up with where Alvaro was going. His heart felt entitled to fight for the man, the man who had recently unwittingly entered into his heart, making a sense of comfort that he did not want to leave at all.

Azlina's steps widened to get out of the house. He turned his head to the right and left looking for where Alvaro was chasing Almeera away. And he chose to head to the exit that would lead him to the main gate.

Azlina seemed to stop her steps that had swung quickly to look for Alvaro when she saw the painful thing before her eyes.

Almeera is seen hugging Alvaro by immersing her face in the man's chest. Although Azlina did not see Alvaro return the hug, there was still a feeling of resentment in her heart. He did not understand, why he hated the incident in front of him so much.

Doesn't he not love Alvaro?

Isn't he still expecting the Eagle?

Then, why did he feel pain when he saw the man being hugged by another woman?

Azlina's sight was flowless from the two humans in front of her who looked shamelessly embracing even though they were not believers. He tried to smile with lips that suddenly felt stiff.

"Sister!"

Azlina's voice was so soft, but Alvaro had heard it at a glance. Without elaborating on Almeera's embrace, the man turned to Azlina.

Until the girl chooses to walk closer, no matter what she sees in front of her eyes. He stopped right beside Alvaro, then whispered something. "You go ahead." Rubbing the corner of her watery-looking eyes, she continued her sentence. "I'm ... going out."

Without waiting for an answer from Alvaro, Azlina walked in half a run to get out of the house. His mind just wants to be calmer if it doesn't see Alvaro again. He forgot to bring anything at the moment. He just walked in a knee-length sleeveless dress wearing a home-made sandal as a footwear.

Running through the sidewalk in front of the house, Azlina still did not stop in her escape. Not wanting Alvaro to chase, he did not look back one bit.

Chase over? Which is possible, because the man is already with his woman.

Azlina sat down beside the power pole after some distance running away from the house. He rubbed rough the thin flowing tears at the corner of the eye.

Why should there be crying? It should have been a common thing to see Alvaro hug his lady. Didn't the man explain from the beginning that he loved Almeera so much? So, why should he cry about it now?

However, the hug she gets every night, every morning, and the kiss. Yes, the kiss that Alvaro does every day to him makes the girl beguiled. Alvaro had taken his first kiss, even the man kissed her many times and every day without pause.

Azlina should be able to reject him if indeed the relationship offered by Alvaro is just a charade, but he was just lulled by the embrace, the kiss. His heart did not deny the comfort given by Alvaro when his body was in the arms of the man.

The burly hands that held her, hugged her tightly in her sleep, tightened themselves without any gaps at all, making Azlina feel used to it. The usual sense of being a necessity and ending up being a dependency made Azlina not want to lose the man.

He is shackled by his own circumstances and feelings. Feeling adrift with confusion and hope that should not be in the least invested because they know if the relationship will end how.

It seemed that not only fate was laughing at him, the sky also now seemed to be making fun of him.

Azlina could hear the thunder start to thunder along with a gust of night wind that felt rustling on her body that was only shielded by a thin knee-length dress. He rubbed his arm many times to simply dispel the coldness that was hitting his body.

He wanted to go home, sleep in a warm bed with his body wrapped in a thick blanket. However, he still remembers Almeera being in that house. Why is it so precise that the woman came when her in-laws were gone? If Mama Rani and Papa Agus were at home, Alvaro would not dare to meet Almeera at home.

Drizzling began to descend upon the earth, soaking his cold body. The girl looked up when the rain hit her face. Tears that had been detained earlier, as if it could no longer be accommodated in his eye pelupuk. Until when he blinked his eyelids once, the tears flowed down his cheeks and then touched with the swift rain.

Azlina's body began to shiver. He got up from his seat, choosing to take shelter under a tree that looked lush. However, it was not able to make his body warm.

Azlina hugged her own body. His teeth were trembling and felt a very cold chill. In front of him there were many bikers who were pausing for a moment, then busy taking out a raincoat to wear, then put forward the bike again without looking back.

Everyone seemed to be busy with his world, not realizing that under the tree was a girl who was being struck deserted. His entire body felt cold, but still could not cool his heart once.

He was leaning against the tree, though he knew that abstinence for someone was taking shelter under the tree when the lightning roared. However, Azlina did not care at all.

Not knowing what made him unable to think long, the girl still faithfully embraced his body without intending to go home soon, back to Alvaro's house. Until I heard the sound of someone calling him, but could not be clearly heard by him.

Azlina closed her eyes, unaware of who was now standing beside her, carrying a wide black umbrella on her right hand, while her left hand grabbed the girl's unconscious body.
