Shackled Two Flavors

Shackled Two Flavors
The Goodness of Alvaro



It seemed that I was the only one who did not understand what kind of situation I was in, I could only stare in confusion but Alvaro continued to feed me like a child, I couldn't refuse a bribe from him either because I was afraid that he would come back angry with me, so I could only just give up on accepting everything.


The atmosphere at the dinner table was so awkward and silent just the sound of spoons and forks clashing against each other seemed to sound loud, and loud, Argo and Audy were busy focusing on enjoying their food until I started to feel uncomfortable as Alvaro continued to bribe me in front of the two of them.


"D.eum... Alvaro I can eat by myself you should eat too" I said as I grabbed a spoon from Alvaro's arm and began to prepare a spoonful after a spoonful of porridge into my mouth.


Alvaro only looked at me for a few moments while raising his eyebrows and then he started to take rice for himself and started to enjoy his breakfast with all of us.


I finished my breakfast first as well as Audy and when I had just finished breakfast Audy immediately pulled my arm and said goodbye to Alvaro and Argo to talk to me alone.


"Talita.ayo come with me" whispered Audy to my ear,


"Ehh..what's up?" I feel astonished.


Audy kept pulling me away from the dinner table and she just let me go when I was away from Argo and Alvaro.


"Audy, what's wrong, why did she just pull me in like that?" I asked in wonder,


"Syuttt.hold your voice lest they listen to our conversation, that is why I brought you here, I find it very surprising why Alvaro is so good to you in class he looks anti-social and very very much even a lot of students gossip that he is the head of the gangster, are you not afraid of him?" Audy said of Alvaro.


I immediately smiled and almost laughed broadly at the worry that Audy had expressed to me back then.


Because I've been closer to Alvaro for a long time and I clearly know more about Alvaro's attitude than other classmates because I've been hanging out a step closer with Alvaro than other friends.


I tried to explain and tell Audy that Alvaro was not like what many children in school rumored, at that time Audy only furrowed her eyebrows because she was surprised by the reaction of my smile.


"Ehh, Talita why are you even smiling like that, instead of being afraid as well" Audy added,


"Audy she's not like you or any other child would imagine, she's a good person you can trust, she's a good person, after all, he saved us last night if it wasn't enough for you to trust Alvaro that he's actually a good person" I explained to Audy,


Audy looked flabbergasted with wide-eyed eyes as if she could not believe what I was saying about Alvaro, and just as Audy was about to reply to my words, Alvaro appeared from behind startling me and Audy.


"But ..Talita..he is....." Audy's been held back, said,


"What are you standing here for?" Tanya Alvaro arrived which made me also Audy immediately shocked and opened her eyes wide,


"God....Alvaro since when were you there?" Audy asked with an uncertain feeling.


"I just came here to put this dirty plate" Alvaro said as he continued his steps and put the dirty plate he had brought onto the sink,


I was really relieved after hearing the answer from Alvaro and we both breathed a sigh of relief together because it turned out that Alvaro did not listen to my conversation with Audy.


"Thank God he didn't hear it, if he knew it all and was offended, it could be that I and Audy would be finished right now" I muttered in a relieved heart.


I shifted the mood and immediately approached Alvaro to help him wash the dirty dishes used by our meal that morning, while Audy went back to the dining table because she was also too scared and did not dare to linger long near Alvaro.


"Alvaro here, let me help you" I said as I approached him,


"A.ahh.Then I went back there first yah hehe" said Audy then immediately left me and Alvaro.


I started to help Alvaro wash some dirty dishes that used breakfast that morning but Alvaro forbade me to help him on the grounds that I was still sick and needed rest to recover my body as a whole.


"Heh, it's quiet you don't have to help me, so you should just go rest there so you can get back to town soon" alvaro said as he took my hand and washed my arm in the running water.


I was shocked by Alvaro's sweet treatment until I immediately did not focus on anything and instead looked at him without blinking a single bit.


I was really amazed by his kindness and how he treated me, he was so kind and united me, even though I knew he was acting that well just because I was in pain and pity, I felt that Alvaro was a real man because he treated women so well despite his speech and expression his face was slightly different from most people in bestowing affection.


"He looks like a hard bad guy and is very creepy on the outside but why is his heart so soft like this, I feel like he's so good to me or is this just my feeling?" I murmured in my heart.


"Heh, why are you looking at me so ha?, you like me well?" Said Alvaro who instantly awakened me from my own mutterings,


"Huh?, what the fuck are you not kegeeran know, I just feel surprised and not used to your attitude as gentle as this with women, even though you hate me so much is not it" I told him,


"Who says I hate you I'm just always upset about your behavior" Alvaro's reply confused me.


I didn't understand what he meant, he said that he didn't hate me, but he always felt annoyed every time he saw me and with my character, out of curiosity and did not understand I asked him again because it took an explanation from him so that I did not think about his words just now for too long.


"Alvaro what do you mean just now?, what's wrong with me until you keep getting upset every time you see me?" I asked innocently.


At that time I did not understand anything, it was natural that his name was also still a high school boy, I just sing what makes me curious because if I haven't got the answer then I will keep thinking about that one thing until I can't sleep or can't even think about anything else which is far more important than that.


When I asked about what was wrong with me Alvaro immediately turned off the tap and put all the dishes he had just washed clean then he turned his eyes fixedly on me and began to answer that question that always makes me think of a lot of things is not important.
