RTB 2: I Want You Back

29

. The door opened, and Dinda entered the room with a smile. Aldi and Noah were silent at the same time as Dinda walked over to the two.

"Still checked?" Tanya Dinda stood beside Noah.

"It's over." Noah answered his medical device and threw a friendly smile before he passed from Dinda's presence.

"You're here again?" Ask Aldi who is sitting down.

"Can't really?"

"It's not. You are busy. I heard from yesterday that your store is crowded with buyers, right?" Dinda smiled at the words of the aldi. He nodded slowly as he grabbed Aldi's hand enthusiastically.

"You know? I'm very happy. It's not in vain that I open a shop here." Speak with a sparkle. Aldi was no less enthusiastic to listen to every story Dinda.

"Every effort, there must be a result. Every good intention, there must be a way. And this may be the path and the result of your good intentions." Said Aldi while patting slowly Dinda cheek that managed to make him blush.

"But, these few days, I haven't met my friend." Dinda's gaze dimmed, looking sad and lonely.

"Who?" Ask Aldi curious.

"You know him too. He's Av-"

"Sir Aldi.." call someone from the door. It was seen that he ran over to Aldi and pamperedly grabbed Aldi's shoulder.

"Tasha?"

"Sir Aldi was in an accident but didn't tell me." His whining made Dinda slowly let go of his grasp.

"Sorry Tasya, but I also just woke up not too long ago." Aldi replied in a very polite tone.

"Ihhh but still I'm a sister's future wife." 'Deg' Dinda was silent to Tasya's words which surprised him so much.

"Who said Tasya?" Aldi suddenly panicked, what else saw Dinda's expression that made him more agitated.

"Aren't we in a match, Mama Dewi has blessed us." Answer with confidence. Aldi patted his forehead and he started to get annoyed with this awkward situation.

"Tasya. And I told my mom not to continue our match." Aldi obviously made Tasya surprised. His heart was completely sliced at the sentence that made his chest tight.

"What's? Brother canceled? Wh why? Is it because of this woman?" Tasya pointed at Dinda with overflowing anger.

"Tasya... listen!"

"Ihhh the evil sister." Tasya passed by with a broken cry leaving Aldi's room.

"Why didn't you say?" Tanya Dinda was still staring fixedly at the door that had just closed.

"You jealous?"

"Al. I'm not kidding."

"Why are you angry?"

"I'm not angry."

"Then?"

"Nothing."

"Ish Al." Dinda's eyes rounded as she turned and found Aldi's face now so close to her.

"You're too close Al." Lirih Dinda turned her blushed face away.

"I already have a wife and mother for my son. So, don't think I'll accept another woman in my life. Remember that!" Aldi firmly lowered Dinda's gaze.

. In company D, Alvi is busy reorganizing the work that he had delayed deliberately. At lunchtime, he felt so exhausted. His eyes closed for a moment, and he immediately recalled Galih's words yesterday.

"You loved him so much, chased him desperately, and desperately tried to make him melt and be yours. But, for this reason, you ignored him instead? If I didn't understand how you felt, I would have brought my sister home by now. When I found out why Avril was acting this way, I couldn't blame her either. Now, I just want you to meet my sister and talk nice. Because if you ever find out, I can't guarantee you I'll let Avril stay at your house again." The advice was constantly spinning in Alvi's head. Right, everything Galih said is true.

"Ray. get the car ready." His words closed his eyes.

"But sir. After lunch, you should-"

"I want to go home, Ray." The sentence managed to make Ray silent, and he slightly smiled a thin smile before finally agreeing to Alvi's request. Ray immediately prepares the car and drives Alvi home.

Until when he arrived, Alvi immediately ran and ignored all his ART that welcomed him along his steps. Avril opened the room door loudly making Avril jump in surprise. Alvi walked back quickly to Avril who was lying on the bed. His eyes were puffy, probably because he kept crying because of his actions. And Avril fell asleep to calm herself. So sad, even Avril is now sleeping with Reifan. Day or night.

Avril turned away from Alvi's gaze and she immediately hugged Reifan who was fast asleep. Her tears flowed back down the pillow beneath her.

"Dear forgive me." Lirih Alvi rubbed Avril's head gently. However, Avril reluctantly turned around and chose to keep turning her back to Alvi.

"Sorry to offend you. I shouldn't have said that. Now, whatever decision you make, I will accept. Just so you're okay." Hearing that, Avril closed her eyes hoping that her sleepiness would bring her back to dreamland. Because he was so afraid that the thing he had just heard was only a dream.

"Darling...." Alvi again called Avril very gently, then he kissed Avril's head and temple warmly. Alvi rubbed Avril's forehead which still felt warm.

"Are you sick?" But Avril did not answer. He prefers silence. Her ego was too high just to answer her husband's questions. Alvi took off her suit and shirt, she then changed her clothes to casual clothes. Not to forget, Alvi closed the door tightly before he returned to bed.

"If it hurts, don't hug Rei. Rei is infected. Here.. I'm the one who hugs." Alvi said while turning Avril's body to face her. And now Avril's tears are still standing and then fell down rapidly even though her eyes are still closed. Alvi stared at Avril's face and she immediately went to lie down and embraced Avril affectionately.

"I'm sorry.." he said again. And this time, Avril returned Alvi's embrace tighter. Alvi continued to give a warm kiss on Avril's forehead and head to calm down.

"If I'm wrong, listen up! Don't even go." His whine held his voice so as not to make Reifan wake up. The sound of her cries being decapitated made Alvi feel even more guilty.

"Have. sorry. I was wrong."

"Don't go again."

"Yes, he won't. No. No crying. It'll be beautiful to lose." Avril further buried her face in Alvi's chest. He slowly went back to sleep and Alvi was reluctant to take off his embrace from his wife.

. After returning from the hospital, Dinda immediately faced a crowd of shoppers who almost filled the store. Most of them said that this store was recommended by Avril. And true, it turns out not a few people who like Dinda flower arrangements. Dinda for a moment thought, why could the effort he pioneered just for just a runaway alone could be this crowded. I don't feel like going back home anymore. In addition to forgetting Emilio, he also felt comfortable in this city.

Amid the busyness of Dinda serving every customer, the ringing of her phone managed to attract her attention. Soon Dinda grabbed and saw who the caller was and she frowned to find an unknown number on her phone screen.

"Gr-"

"Go home, or your sister won't survive." Dinda was wide-eyed and her breathing suddenly became congested to find a sentence she could not digest.

"Whatchu mean? Who're you?" Dinda panicked and unconsciously ignored the buyers.

"I? Who yeah? Is Aldian safe? Or die?" That back-to-back question was enough to make Dinda guess that the person across was the culprit.
