RTB 2: I Want You Back

33

. "Dok...have you finished checking it?" Emira asked Noah with such a flat look and tone.

"Oh. already." Noah replied a little.

"Can you go? I want to talk to your patient." He said while looking cynically at Aldi. With a slight nod, Noah passed leaving behind two people who might be having personal problems. Question after question started popping up in Noah's mind. The woman's age clearly looks older than Aldi, so it's impossible if it's his girlfriend. And if you look closely, Emira's age looks the same as Noah's.

. "Sir Emira why is she here?" But 'plak' instead of answering, Emira instead slapped Aldi hard.

"What the-"

"Who are you calling brother huh? If you think I'm a sister, you should have told me about Amel's death. I'm his best friend, and you know it. But why was it that when he died, none of the news reached me." Angrily Emira interrupts Aldi's screech, his collar in a strong grip so that Aldi grimaces in pain because the bandage in his body is interested. And there was blood seeping from behind the bandage and visible spots on his shirt. It made Emira surprised and immediately released Aldi. Aldi gasped for pain and soreness in the abdomen, waist and bones of his hands.

"Al.. w-why blood?" Emira started to panic.

"I-I'm fine, brother." His answer was still gasping and neutralizing his breath.

After he calmed down, Aldi let out a long sigh for a moment before he finally explained to Emira about Amel's death.

"I'm sorry for not telling my sister. I guess you guys weren't together in London anymore because I didn't find your sister's contact name on Amel's cell phone. And plus, I've also caught up with Amel's sister, so I don't have any thoughts about Emira's sister." Hearing Aldi's explanation, Emira's gaze became sad, he slightly lowered his head feeling guilty for what he had just done to Aldi.

"Sorry Al. I'm too emotional. I love Amel like my sister. And when she said she had leukemia, I honestly thought her life wouldn't be long, but she kept refusing to take medication."

"Don't go to Emira's sister, to me and Mama, Amel never listen. Even then, if he was in surgery, maybe now he's still alive. At least when I lost someone else after that, Amel's brother was still right next to me." Now both of Aldi's eyes began to look teary. Emira stared at Aldi's sadness which was clearly not a trivial thing.

"Are there guests?" Emira and Aldi turned at the door. Emira's cry broke out instantly upon seeing this figure she already considered her mother.

"Mama.." his whine went straight to the Goddess and hugged her tightly.

"Emira? You here? With who?" The Goddess sounded surprised.

"I myself. And why didn't mom tell me Amel left?"

"Sorry son, but there's something you and Aldi can't tell you at the time."

"Yes ma. don't tell me. Mom will cry again." Tegur Aldi chimed in on the chatter of his sister's mother and friend. "I'll explain later. Just don't ask Mama. Mom was crying, and I wasn't. So you're free to ask anything." Aldi was responded to by a nod by Emira. His arrival to Indo is not just want to teach Aldi lessons only. But he also wants to know the news of Alvi, and confirm the news of his marriage. Because what he heard at the time was not so clear. Either the name is Alvi or Aldi. If the bride is Avril, all she knows is Avril's boyfriend.

"Are you not married?" Ask Emira next.

"D-yes." Reply Aldi suddenly sad.

"Where's your wife?"

"Oh.he's..." Aldi suddenly fell silent, his tongue was twisted and his words felt only up to the throat. To say that Syifa died was very difficult.

"Eh... Brother didn't ask about my situation?" Ask Aldi next in a flat tone.

"I honestly want to ask you too. But it looks like you're okay." Emira replied casually and accompanied by a mocking look.

"What's? I'm bleeding like this because of you, you're saying I'm okay? Since when did you become rude? If Amel's sister finds out, she'll come to you tonight."

"Arghhhh Noah.please.." cried Aldi slightly holding his voice.

"Huu lebay."

"It hurts real. You said you thought I was a sister. But you're gonna kill me yourself."

"Why even fight? Mama call Noah for a minute." Said Dewi broke up the quarrel Aldi and Emira.

. In the evening, there was a sound of rain not too loud. Avril stared out the window while stroking Reifan's head that was asleep beside her.

"Shyfa? Are you really calm?" Avril said so slowly.

"What are you muttering?" Ask Alvi who accidentally heard a little murmur Avril when she entered the room.

"No. I only remember Syifa." Avril replied as she wiped her eyelids. Dewy. Always has. But it cannot be denied, he misses Syifa very much now.

"Oh yes. Tomorrow I have a meeting outside the office and will likely be home for the night. If anything just tell Ray." Said Alvi who dropped her body beside Reifan and immediately gave a faint kiss on his cheek and forehead.

"Rei's handsome?" Alvi asked suddenly in a joking tone. But the joke even made Avril feel crowded. He knew behind the joke there was a feeling and hope Alvi had for him.

"Al.. I'm sorry. I've been selfish and thought only one-sided." Avril said without answering Alvi's joke.

"I understand. And I'm also sorry for behaving that you don't like." Hearing Alvi's reply, Avril only smiled faintly, she felt very guilty towards Alvi. But now she is secretly following the program for her pregnancy without Alvi knowing.

"That's it. Why discussed. You better get some sleep. Aren't you feeling well?" Avril nodded and immediately lay hugging Reifan.

"I'm not in the hug?" Ask Alvi spoiled.

"You're old."

"Isss your mouth is so spicy my wife dear."

"And you, it's easy to get carried away." Avril replied mockingly. Amidst the debate, Reifan looks wriggling and back to sleep. The husband and wife gave each other a code to be silent and laugh without a sound.

. On the other hand, Dinda entered the house in a hurry because her clothes were already wet.

"Good to have arrived." He said while breathing a sigh of relief. Then his gaze was fixed on his cell phone lying on his bed. He left and even turned off his phone when he left the other day. Intentions want to open the phone, but he chose to take a shower. It was already uncomfortable with the cold rain water touching his skin.

After cleaning up, Dinda turned on her phone and was shocked by the messages. Including from Avril. Unanswered calls are uncountable. He immediately pressed a call on the name of his employee. And no need to wait long, Nisa immediately answered a phone call from Dinda.

"She... How are you?"

"Nobody anywhere? And why close the store without any prior notice? And why do you want people to?" Nisa asked half-screaming and it made Dinda so surprised.

"What's? Whatchu mean? When did I tell you to close the store?"
