Little Bride Alvaro

72. Contrition

The words of the doctor who had just re-entered Alvaro's room caught Almeera's attention. The woman stepped closer towards Mama Rani and Azlina who were still hugging. He ventured to unravel the mutual strengthening between the in-laws and the daughter-in-law.

"Just, Auntie!"

Almeera tries to be friendly by putting a smile on her lips.

Mama Rani who originally hugged Azlina while closing her eyes because she held back crying, finally turned her attention towards Almeera. His forehead frowned seeing a beautiful woman coming to see him.

"I'm Almeera Alvaro's friend. I was at the scene when the incident happened. We both took Alvaro to this hospital with the help of the driver."

Mama Rani just nodded, then thanked him. His hands did not release the embrace of his favorite son-in-law. The middle-aged woman's warm attitude towards Azlina made Almeera envious. She should have been there, not that high school girl.

"Is Alvaro allergic to shrimp?"

Mama Rani turned her head back, but this time her gaze looked seriously at Almeera. "Yes, we never eat shrimp because Alvaro has an overreaction when it comes to shrimp."

Azlina who heard that widened her eyes, surprised by Mama Rani's words. "What Ma?"

"We never stocked shrimp at home, nor ordered shrimp-based food. Have you ever eaten shrimp at home? Never will, dear."

Azlina covered her open mouth with a palm. His tears are flowing more and more. "Zizi. Zizi made Brother like this. Zizi put shrimp in the food, Ma. Sorry!"

"What did you say?" Mama Rani asked by loosening her embrace to Azlina. "Say! What's going on?!" Mama Rani's voice rose, making Azlina tremble in her tears.

"Zizi made a siomay for Big Brother, then mixed the shrimp into it. Sorry, Ma ...."

"You ... mix shrimp into Alvaro's food? No way, we never have shrimp supplies."

"Zizi ordered online, Ma." Azlina could not hide her regret. If there's anything with Alvaro, he's the one to blame. He caused Alvaro to have difficulty breathing until he was in the creepy room in a life-threatening position.

"Don't joke, Zi!"

Azlina shook her head, showing that all her words were true. He knew that there had never been a shrimp menu in Alvaro's house, but he did not know that Alvarolah was allergic to shrimp. However, today he actually mixed shrimp into the food he cooked for the man.

"Yes, geez." Mama Rani took her hug off Azlina, she closed her eyes while massaging her temples. "Why don't you ask the servants. All the waiters know that shrimp is forbidden in our house."

"I'm sorry Zizi, Ma."

Azlina grabs Mama Rani's hand, but she seems unwilling to respond. Azlina's hand was lightly brushed aside by him, showing a full attitude of rejection.

"Don't blame him, Auntie. He couldn't possibly want to know what Alvaro liked or disliked, even about the dietary restrictions that Alvaro had to avoid, he would never want to care."

Mama Rani turns her attention to Almeera. He was still astonished by the figure in front of him, as if he felt himself worthy of attention, making Mama Rani dislike him. "What do you mean?"

Feeling responded by Mama Rani, Almeera smiled happily. He stepped closer, then said, "Because they don't love each other. Their marriage was just a charade."

Azlina gaped with Almeera's words, why is the woman so involved in her domestic affairs? "Sir Meera!"

"Yes, I know everything. Aunt's favorite daughter-in-law has a lover at her school. Their relationship is still going on today. He doesn't love Alvaro because he already loves other men."

Azlina stared in disbelief at what Almeera said. How in a situation like this could he discuss the matter. Is there no empathy by not muddying the atmosphere? Almeera's words were like kerosene doused in a fire.

"What did you say?" Mama Rani turned to look at Azlina. His eyes filled with the demands of an answer to a question. "Is it true that you have a boyfriend at school?"

Azlina shakes. Her tears were endlessly drenching her cheeks. What does he have to answer? Indeed the reality is so, if he is still the Eagle's girlfriend. However, all of that was also with the approval of Alvaro and Azlina also intend to end the relationship because he and Alvaro have decided together.

Seeing Azlina just shake her head and shut up, Almeera pulled out her phone, showing Eagle's social media account that contained many romantic photos with Azlina to show Mama Rani.

"This is proof. She is Aunt's daughter-in-law's lover. This photo was posted a few days ago. This is a picture of them dating."

Mama Rani opens one by one photos of Azlina with the Eagle who was dating in the night market at the time. Photos of watching movies and eating in a shopping center were not spared uploaded by Eagle on his social media account. Mama Rani's gaze turned to Azlina, staring in disappointment. He did not expect that a girl who looks innocent turned out to be able and dare to cheat behind her son.

"Explain all this?!"

Azlina could only shake her head while crying. He was confused as to what to say. However, Almeera actually became the axis of the stove that always tried to ignite the quarrel and misunderstanding.

"Not only that. He also refused to serve Alvaro well. I've advised Alvaro, but he's still defending him. Aunty just asked, has he been in contact with Alvaro like a husband and wife?"

Mama Rani clutched Azlina's shoulder, then shook it. "So you haven't given yourself up for my son after everything he's done for you? You tortured her by letting her hold back on her right to you. Remember that! You're his wife, Azlina!"

"Sorry, Ma ...." That was all Azlina could say. He could not say anything because all the accusations were true. He wanted to defend himself, but did not know how to express it.

"Go! Don't see Alvaro again. You only brought bad luck to my son. Go!"

"Ma ...."

"I'm not your mother-in-law anymore. I'll have Alvaro divorce you soon. Get the fuck out of here! I won't see you again!" Mama Rani yells to hit Azlina, but Almeera immediately holds her back.

"Stranquil, Auntie!" Almeera calmed the woman down, rubbing her back.

Mama Rani just closed her eyes, unable to endure the pain and sadness in her heart. "Alvaro forgive Mama, son. Mama got you married wrong ...."

Azlina was still crying hearing Mama Rani's painful sentence. He's not capable of saying anything. His voice was stuck in his throat. He was sad, sorry, and frightened if anything happened to Alvaro because of his actions. He wanted to approach the crying Mama Rani, but Almeera immediately confronted him.

"Go you! Don't ever come again! I didn't think you could harm Alvaro for wanting to be free with him!" Almeera took out the heart-shaped box that she found when Alvaro fell down earlier, then opened it in front of Azlina.

"You really don't have to hurt Alvaro, because he's going to end your marriage soon. He's already prepared this ring for me, but you're ruining everything. Women don't know you!"

Almeera pushed Azlina's body away, expelling the woman who still couldn't believe what she had just seen. It was the design of the ring that Azlina sent to Alvaro's office, and the diamond that rested on it was a vivid light type diamond, a pink diamond that was so famous in the jewelry world. Why was Alvaro so heartened by giving all that to Almeera?

》Next! Still sy type. Patience. 😁
