RTB 2: I Want You Back
62
. Later that night, after Avril had dinner, she ate the cake she bought last day. Alvi also ate it while playing the laptop on his lap.
"Al... when do you spare?" Avril asked breaking the silence between the two.
"Hmmm? Probably tuesday. Why?"
"I want to introduce you to my friend. You haven't met, have you?"
"Male or female friends?"
"Female. I have no more boyfriends than a silly trio."
"Why should you be acquainted?" As usual, Alvi turns cold when it comes to Avril's new friend be it a boy or a girl.
"Yes, who knows, you cross paths outside, if you already know each other, you can chat."
"I don't have time to talk to strangers."
"Ishh Al. Like Syifa. I wanted to match her with Aldi. But she already has a boyfriend."
"So, you want me to make him break up with his girlfriend?" Sontak Avril was surprised to hear Alvi's question. Where does that shallow thinking come from? Thought Avril behind her cynical gaze.
"Not so Al. Anyway you should want to. Otherwise, I'll be mad." Rajuk Avril took her cake away from Alvi. So that Alvi stopped from his activities and looked at Avril with a silly look. Avril continued to stare at Alvi cynically from the end of the bed while devouring the food in her hand.
"If it wasn't my wife, I would've dumped her to the bottom of the ocean." He spoke in a soft tone and sounded like he was muttering.
"What are you muttering? Been yelling at me?" Avril asked haughtily and made Alvi twist her body back at Avril.
"The female lion is indeed ferocious. What else is pregnant." After muttering so, Alvi grinned and then moved and approached Avril and grabbed the cake, then Alvi put it on the nightstand. Avril knew the meaning of Alvi's devious gaze.
"Al. I'm coming to the moon." Speak in a soft voice.
"You think I'm stupid? Pregnant people don't come months baby. Because you've pissed me off, you've got the consequences."
"Al. your face is ugly don't put on a smile like that." Avril distanced the face of Alvi who was close to her face.
"If I'm ugly, there's no way all the women I've been through would admire my face."
"Ohhh so you're proud to be the center of female attention? Okay. Then I'll teach you a lesson." Avril turned and overpowered Alvi with her angry face. Sontak Alvi laughed and immediately rose to embrace Avril who was sulking because of it.
"Happy darling. But I like your way. Want to continue?" Alvi's whisper directly into Avril's ear.
"You're quiet. I'm mad at you." Avril is still sulking making Alvi feel even more anxious.
"Darling..."
"Alvi is silent."
"Saaayyaaang.."
"Ihhh Alvi." Furious Avril now with a blushing face.
"Your face hovers dear."
"When I speak again, I hit you."
"Can. In exchange, I will also teach you a lesson."

. The next morning, Avril who had not received a call last night grabbed her phone and called back at the number who called her night.
"Hallo Din's. Sorry I didn't get to answer last night. What's up?" Ask Avril directly after the call is connected.
"Avril. Do you have any free time this afternoon?" Avril frowned at Dinda's slightly hoarse voice. And why does he feel nervous.
"No Avril. Later in the day, can we meet in the park?"
"Oh. I'll be there." After that, suddenly the phone was cut off making Avril feel astonished by Dinda's attitude. Avril turned to Alvi who was still asleep and she felt strange why Dinda suddenly wanted to meet him.
. At exactly 10, Avril rushed to the place where Dinda had invited her to meet. It was seen that Dinda was already in the garden seat waiting for Avril alone.
"Minda. Sorry I'm late. You waited long?" Dinda shook her head while throwing a faint smile.
"Are you okay? Your face is pale Din."
"No Avril. I'm fine."
"So, what's up?" Ask Avril with still a joke.
"It looks like this is our last meeting. I'm going back to my town."
"Eh? All of a sudden? But why Dinda?"
"What's wrong Avril. I just want to go home." Unexpectedly, Dinda's cry broke even without a sound. "Avril sorry." His words interrupted his sobbing.
"Dinda why are you? Why are you apologizing?"
"Because I'm guilty of you, Avril. I almost took Aldi from you. I don't have any face to face with Aldi's other friends. But, why did they let me get close to Aldi? Though clearly they knew Aldi was married to Avril." It was Dinda's mind that couldn't stop her crying.
"Dinda. And just story. Why are you sad?"
"Sorry Avril. I almost took your happiness." Lirih Dinda with a voice so soft.
"Dinda. Say it clearly. Maybe I can help."
"Why Aldi approached me, when he had a wife as good as Avril. It turns out that it is true that men will not be enough with one woman. From the beginning I should have received an arranged marriage from my father. What's clear is that I'm going to be a legitimate wife, not an affair." Inner Dinda again.
"Mommy.." cried Reifan from a distance. Dinda stopped her crying when she heard a voice she was very familiar with.
"Mother.." call Reifan to hug Dinda. "Mother crying?" Reifan asked next while wiping Dinda's tears. Avril was stunned to see Reifan who called Dinda as mother.
"Din.. so you've...."
"Avril I'm sorry." Dinda just said that again.
"The hubby? Avril? What are you guys doing?" Ask Aldi who came after Reifan.
"All right now. Dinda this is Avril. She-"
"It's hard enough Al. Just get here. I've misjudged you. And you should be honest from the beginning." Dinda interjected before Aldi finished his speech.
"Eh? Dinda why are you?" Ask Aldi who was amazed at Dinda's suddenly changed attitude. Without answering, Dinda leaves and Avril grabs Reifan, who is staying with Dinda. Meanwhile, Aldi catches up with Dinda and pulls her hand. Dinda stopped and turned to Aldi. And this 'plaque' sound of a loud slap managed to make them the center of attention.
"What's wrong?"
"Stay away from me damn it. I don't want to see you again."
"Yes but why? What wrong? Didn't we plan to meet your family this week?"
"I don't want to marry someone's husband." His words then passed from in front of Aldi. As Aldi was about to catch up with Dinda, he recalled Reifan and Avril.
"Daddy. mommy.." cried Reifan by hugging Avril who was holding her head with a sudden throbbing. Aldi turned to Avril and Reifan. As for Dinda, she passed by crying regretting her meeting with Aldi.
"Dad.."his whining was in the cab. Dinda had already made up her mind to return to the city of S and did not want to see Aldi again.
