Little Bride Alvaro

89. I Love Him

A slanted smile was shown Alvaro to the woman. Unexpectedly in this case Almeera could manipulate the expression.

"Mama accused him of cheating. I wonder, who told Mama about my wife and Eagle's relationship? That person should have also said about my disloyalty to Azlina, right? That I've been cheating all this time."

Alvaro paused his sentence, trying to pull Almeera into his discussion. "But it didn't, she didn't tell Mama about me approaching you. So, Mama doesn't blame me at all. Mama just blamed Azlina. At least I feel safe. I want to thank that man."

Almeera chuckled lightly, sipping the half-living cappuccino. "Come, Al! Who else could do that?"

"You mean?" Alvaro frowned, as if so curious about the next sentence that was spoken from Almeera's lips.

"Yeah, of course I told you everything. I didn't like him at the beginning. Moreover, you seem to be getting more attention to him. I'd love to throw him out of your life soon. I ... don't like it, Al. I'm .. jealous."

Alvaro's gaze dimmed when he heard Almeera's words. It turned out that this woman was already starting to like him, but she no longer wanted him. Does that sound so evil?

Choosing not to respond, Alvaro reached out his hand reaching for Almeera's hand.

"Then, this ring?" Alvaro touched Almeera's hand, pointing at the ring that had been his concern since.

Almeera's smile was flaring. There is a timid hue on the cheeks as well as creeping into the nose. "Sorry, I like the design too much. I wore it before you gave it to me."

"It's okay, it's just that I got to look for him. I think it's gone when it's so hard to order."

Almeera shook her head, then removed the ring from her fingers. "No, of course not lost. I found it when you fell down after eating that siomay. And I'm sure if it's the ring you're gonna give me. I know it's a precious ring, not that you've set aside time to talk to me in one eye at a time. I. ... didn't expect that you would propose to me by preparing this ring."

Alvaro took the ring from Almeera's hand and put it in her shirt pocket. "Sorry, yeah. I have to give this ring to the real owner."

Alvaro smiled then, responding casually to Almeera's surprised attitude. "I'm sorry, Meera. I told you once, that I'm going to finish the game I made myself, right?"

Almeera nodded, "You've finished your marriage with the girl?"

"No, I ended it by accepting Azlina as my wife. I love her, Almeera. I love my wife. And this ring ..not for you, but for my wife, Zizi. This is a birthday gift for him that has not been completed, so I asked for your help to find another gift. Not because I forgot my wife's birthday, right. Because my true gift is the love I told him that night. And this ...." Alvaro pointed to the ring in his shirt pocket, "just as a formality of proof of my love for him."

Almeera gaped with clenched hands to hear Alvaro's long speech that was very unexpected. How could that innocent girl with minimal experience be able to defeat her. Azlina was clearly far below her standard. Almeera felt unacceptable if Azlina could look superior to her.

"No way! You're lying, aren't you? You love me." He said a little pressing while pointing at himself. The look in his eyes could not help but feel annoyed and disappointed.

"Yes, I love you. But back then, when you weren't looking at me at all. I had to ignore the extraordinary figure that I should have noticed because I was too lulled by your charm. Lucky I realized it too late. I love Azlina and will make her a real wife. Thank you for showing me your true character, Meera, so I feel that the decision to choose Azlina as my life partner is correct."

"You ...." Almeera wanted to say back to Alvaro, but stopped him from doing so. He still had the shame of seeing so many people watching him and Alvaro.

"Almeera, I'm sorry. I hope you can find a man worthy of your life. I'm married and will bring my wife back at any cost."

Alvaro raised his hand, calling the waiter to hand over the bill of his order. He handed over two hundred thousand pieces without asking for any more change which of course was responded to with a smile.

"I'm going to find Azlina. I've booked you a cab. Thank you for your time and .. for finding this ring. Excuse me" Alvaro said, stepping away from Almeera alone.

The woman held her anger in her chest. His nose was flattened, he wanted to get angry, but tried to hold it. His hands clenched, showing a real look of wrath.

"Azlinaa, women don't know themselves!"
