RTB 2: I Want You Back

126

Aldi was still kneeling before Avril with a listless bow. It feels like talking will be in vain because he is the most guilty person. Even he himself admitted that he did not deserve to be called a father by Reifan. Aldi turned his head slowly to Alvi who was holding Zeeya in the guest room. What an envious sight. He felt more guilty to Avril who had loved Reifan like a child himself.

"You better go! I don't want to see your face anymore. Take your son away, never find me with him again. Don't you ever remind Rei of me again. And never-"

"Enough Avil. Enough's enough! Don't keep it up. I feel guilty enough. So please don't talk like that."

"then? I have to talk how?"

"I'm really sorry Avil." Avril did not immediately respond to Aldi's words, he sighed in a moment while still staring flatly at Aldi.

"Don't you have Al's brain?" Suddenly Aldi was immediately stunned to hear the cold voice of Avril that felt freezing. Aldi felt humbled, he moved and returned the gaze of Avril no less sharp.

"Avril. Not because I'm willing to kneel before you, and then you're willing to humble me like this."

"You feel demeaned? Then, quickly get out of my house. I don't want my house held by a madman like you. I'm sorry I helped you raise Rei. I also regret being a surrogate mother to her. If I knew this, I wouldn't want to replace Syifa, and I should have let you suffer alone. I wonder why Baren is still holding on with you. I'm sure they're sick of you, too."

"Enough Avril! I don't know what your problem is. You're mad at Rei's changed calling on you, or do you hate me for something else?" However, Avril only tried to avoid eye contact with Aldi. He did not know also what to say that continued to fill his mind until he himself felt annoyed at Aldi.

Seeing the commotion in the living room, Alvi immediately gave her daughter to Siska whom she called through another servant. Quickly, Alvi approached Aldi and his wife who made the atmosphere increasingly gripping. What's more now Aldi looks like he's angry at Avril. And at that moment, Alvi immediately embraced Avril's shoulder so that the two did not get further. Alvi takes Avril into another room, while there Aldi feels that his presence is completely forgotten.

Seeing how lively Alvi was, Aldi decided to leave the house of the president of the D company. On the way, he stared blankly at the road that happened to be densely crawling.

"Syifa.. What should I do? My decision to keep Rei away from Avril was right? I don't want Avril to fuss over Rei, you know Avril has been taking care of Rei since you left. Now, Avril already has a child, and I just want to lighten her load. Where's the fault?" Lirih Aldi spoke to himself in the car. Shortly after, his phone rang and managed to disperse his daydream.

"Hallo Daddy." Say it after sliding the screen as a call receiver.

"Al... Your mother-in-law and Yasmin are going to your house. They've reached the airport. Can you pick him up? Or driver? I called you, but there was no answer." Hearing Hadi's words from across the street, Aldi looked at the top of his phone screen, and sure enough, there was a notification of missed calls. And as he ascertained from anyone, he kneaded his forehead slowly upon seeing the name of his father-in-law.

"Sorry Dad. My phone was left in the car."

"Yes it's okay. What matters now is delivered. And I called Dinda, but she didn't answer. Is Dinda okay?"

"When I left, he was fine, Dad."

"Thank God. Please take care! Even though I trust you so much, sometimes I worry and miss you."

"Yes Dad. Sure is! Aldi must have protected Dinda."

"And you too. Do not force work. Take care of your. For now, you need to rest a lot."

"What a hell, kid. It just so happens that Dad has a business partner who is willing to give you a large amount of stock." Sontak Aldi was surprised to hear what Hadi said. Business associate? Wh who? Is it possible Alvi? Only those questions came to Aldi's mind at the moment.

"From abroad?"

"Not." Answer Hadi with a very predictable response. Aldi knows that at this time Hadi is happy with the news he is getting.

"Who? Do I know?" Tanya Aldi could not hide her curiosity.

"Do you know a young businessman named Sean Alfa Danish? The largest company in the city. I feel lucky to be working with him, Al. Aya plans to propose cooperation between me and Sean. How's it?" Hadi asked from across the street, after he explained the reason for his excitement. While Aldi was silent to hear the good news that Hadi conveyed to him. But for him, this was bad news, because he knew Sean was after his wife.

"Dad, I have something to talk about. But I feel disrespectful on the phone." Hadi, who was smiling, suddenly faded his smile when he heard Aldi's serious speech.

"What's Al? Is there anything? You and Dinda are okay, right? Your company doesn't have any problems, does it?" The consecutive question was successfully uttered from Hadi who was suddenly worried about the condition of the Princess and her daughter-in-law.

"There's some trouble, but it's not big, Dad. Just misunderstand me."

"You and Dinda got into a fight?"

"No Dad. Me and Dinda are fine. But I have a problem with Alvian."

"alright. Later when Dad's job is done, I'll follow your mom there."

"Alright Dad. Then Aldi hang up. Aldi's gonna pick up Mom and Yasmin to the airport."

"Thank you son." After the sentence was spoken, the phone connection was finally cut off, and Aldi changed the direction of his destination to the airport.

Arriving at the airport, Aldi saw his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were waiting.

,"Mom. Sorry Aldi just got word."

"What a hell, kid. Mom and Yasmin haven't been here long." Gently, Salma patted Aldi on the shoulder to assure Aldi not to feel guilty. The three then left the airport for Aldi's residence.

In addition, Dinda and Dewi are preparing a dish to welcome the arrival of Salma.
