The Couple AL

Persuading

...Happy reading ♡...

...*****...

Allia was pacing back and forth in her room. He was confused as to how. On one hand Allia wanted to apologize, on the other hand she was afraid Tama and Alvino would not forgive her.

"Perhaps if I explain everything, Brother Al and Brother Tama will no longer be angry with me." Allia was sure, the relationship of the three of them would be fine as before.

First, Allia will go to Tama's room. After that he will meet his brother, Alvino.

Allia brought something from her room to Tama. He went to Tama's room next to Alvino's. As Allia passed through Alvino's room, she didn't hear anything from outside. He knocked on Tama's room door from outside.

"Sir Tama, are you inside?" call Allia while opening the door of Tama's room.

There's no answer. Allia decides to go inside Tama's room. It turned out that Tama was in his room, then why not say when Allia called him? Of course Allia knows what the reason is, Tama looks busy with her laptop. Funny face especially when thinking, plus Tama wear glasses that she usually wears while studying.

Allia sat next to Tama. Tama who felt the chair she was sitting on moved looked towards the side. He looked at Allia who was sitting next to him.

"Al's? Since when are you here? I'm not—" Tama paused her speech considering she was angry with Allia.

Allia held back her smile. It seems like Tama just realized that she was angry with him, Allia thought.

"I just came, really." Allia tilted her head to look at Tama's face. "What are you doing?"

Tama was speechless trying to turn her gaze the other way so that she would not see Allia. He pretended to focus on his laptop again.

Allia leaned her head against Tama's shoulder.

"Are you angry with Al?" ask Allia.

Allia looked at the face of Tama who was near by her side. Allia admitted that her cousin was very handsome.

"Nobody looks ugly when you're angry."

Tama glanced at Allia at a glance without speaking.

Allia held both cheeks of Tama with her hands, then she pulled.

"Come smile, iii ...." Allia practiced how to smile at Tama.

Tama tries to let go of Allia's hand but can't. Tama's defense collapsed, he couldn't get angry anymore with Allia if Allia behaved funny like this.

"Alright, Al. Why can you always make me melt," said Tama.

Allia smiled and hugged Tama.

"Sorry Al, yes. Al promise, Al won't do it again."

Tama returned Allia's embrace tightly.

"I should have apologized to you, Al. I snapped at you earlier. Do you want to forgive your stupid brother, Al?" ask Tama.

Allia shook her head and folded her hands and then threw her face to another. "Sir Tama is evil."

"I couldn't control my emotions earlier, please forgive me. You can hit me if you want," said Tama regretting her actions because she yelled at Allia while in the mall.

Allia shook her head again.

"I'll buy you shopping tomorrow, how?" bargain Tama so that Allia does not sulk anymore

Allia's eyes sparkled. Allia nodded, a pretty good offer. He was just pretending to be angry.

"Okay, Al has forgiven Brother Tama."

Tama smiled. "We're shopping tomorrow."

"No. Later if Al wants, Al will tell Brother."

"All right." Tama remembered something she had to ask Allia earlier, "Who was the man you were with?"

Allia thought for a moment. "Devan?"

Tama remembered his name. "Yes I remember, Devan's name. Who is Al? Your boyfriend?"

Allia's eyes were round. "No!" answer quickly

"School buddy, yesterday Al accidentally met him.

Tama nodded her head.

Allia thrust a small box at Tama.

"What's this?" tanya Tama noticed the not-so-small box in her hand.

"So, Tama just open it now."

Tama opened the small box, it turned out that the contents were a very good watch.

"Forku?"

Allia nodded. "Yes, there is an alarm, the sound is quite loud. Al deliberately bought it for Kak Tama so that Kak Tama did not regret it if he returned to Harvard. Brother Tama, isn't it hard to wake up."

Tama laughed and pinched Allia's nose.

"Thank you dear" said Tama and hugged Allia.

"Sama-sama," Allia said in Tama's arms.

Allia let go of her embrace. "Al's going to Alvino's room first."

"Yes, already. Persuade Alvino, he was very worried because of you earlier, haha ...." Tama chuckled considering the incident earlier, how vulnerable Alvino was.

"Hehe ...."

Tama pushed Allia's shoulder slowly. "It has. There, you meet Alvino."

...*****...

Allia hesitated a little to knock on Alvino's room door. He gathered his courage. Allia went straight into her brother's room without knocking on the door first.

He searched for Alvino but was not found. Allia saw the balcony door open, Allia approached to close the door because the day was getting late. When she wanted to close the door, Allia saw Alvino there. Alvino was daydreaming with a glass of tea beside him. His gaze was straight, Allia became even more guilty.

"Sister Al?" call Allia.

Alvino woke up from his daydream. He looked beside her turned out to be Allia.

Alvino smiled. "Yes?"

"What's my brother doing here? It's getting late, it's cold, let's just go in."

"No, I want to be here for a minute. You just go in."

Allia hugged Alvino from the side. "Don't be angry" Allia said right in Alvino's ear.

Alvino did not answer or let go of Allia's embrace. Allia saw it wanted to cry, she hid her face on Alvino's neck.

"Al apologized for making Brother worried, sorry Al for making Brother look for Al in the Mall," said Allia.

Alvino turned around making them face each other. Allia who dared not look at Alvino lowered her head.

"Al, look me in the eye" Alvino said as he looked down at Allia.

"Son't be mad at you, Al."

"Look at my eyes Al." Alvino disliked it the most if Allia didn't look at him while talking to him.

Slowly Allia raised her head. Their eyes meet. He returned Alvino's deep gaze.

"I'm not talking to you out of anger, I'm just a little disappointed in myself for not being able to be a good big brother to you."

Allia put her hand on Alvino's lips telling him not to continue speaking.

"Don't talk like that. Al just misunderstood."

"Al," call Alvino.

Allia looked at Alvino.

"Why was Devan with you yesterday?"

Despite her fear, Allia told Alvino about the incident.

...———...

Allia who was looking for a toilet around the place to eat, finally met. Public toilets, for men and women. When Allia came out of the toilet and wanted to go back to the table where she had eaten with Alvino and Tama, Allia accidentally hit someone who was carrying food in her hand. The food was spilled onto the shirt of someone he hit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you earlier."

Allia helped him to wake up. And how shocked Allia was when she found out that the one she hit was Devan.

"Devs?"

Devan was no less surprised to know that it was Allia who had hit him.

"Al's? You you?"

"Let me help you clean your clothes" said Allia and tried to clean Devan's shirt with a tissue.

When Allia cleaned it, the bracelet that Allia was wearing got stuck in Devan's shirt. Allia's eyes rounded quickly Allia pulled her bracelet, Allia became very surprised because it made Devan's shirt torn.

"You?!"

"Your book ...." Allia covered her mouth with both hands.

"I'm sorry, my bracelet's stuck. I'll replace it."

"Now."

Allia nodded. "Alright, I'll call my brother first."

Allia looked for her phone in her pocket, but nothing. Probably left at his desk.

"My phone's left behind, how's this?"

Devan pulls Allia's arm.

"What are you doing? Release!"

"You just need to accompany me to buy clothes, don't have to do anything" Devan said without stopping his steps.

When they reached the clothing store, Devan chose the clothes he would buy to wear now. When Devan came out of the dressing room, he saw Allia also looking at some clothes in the store.

Devan approaches Allia. He saw Allia pay attention to the couple clothes that were there. Devan picked up the shirt and told the shopkeeper to wrap it up. Allia realized, why did Devan buy a lot of clothes? Meanwhile, Devan himself had changed the clothes he was wearing earlier.

"It's over?"

Devan nodded and gave the paper bag in his hand to Allia.

Allia raised one eyebrow not understanding.

"Take it, this is for you." Devan forced it by taking Allia's hand.

Allia refuses but Devan keeps pushing. And finally Allia received it with a heavy heart because Allia was not used to receiving gifts from others. Alvino did not allow him to receive goods from anyone other than Alvino himself.

"My company."

They see interesting shops. Allia pointed to the watch shop, then they decided to buy it with Devan paying for it again, the price was quite high. Allia bought 3 watches, for Tama, her uncle, and also her grandfather. They then visited a shoe store. Allia was a little confused as to what they were here for.

"Why are we here?"

"You think?"

Devan took one of the high heels and thrust it at Allia.

"I don't like wearing shoes like that."

Devan raised one eyebrow. "Not for you, but for the people in your house."

Allia blushed. His cheeks were flushed from the embarrassment. Allia remembered Aunt Liza, finally she took the high heels from Devan's hands.

"Are you going to pay for it too?" ask Allia.

"Who do you think? You alone? I know you didn't bring your money."

"You told me to forcibly accompany you. I'm not asking you to buy any of this. You just take all this, I don't need it!" Allia was deeply offended by Devan's remarks.

"You hit me and made my clothes tear."

Allia wanted to talk back but Devan cut her back.

"Of course, forget. We need to get back soon or your brother will be mad at me."

Allia looked at the clock, she was surprised it had been an hour she left Tama and Alvino.

Allia glanced at Devan who was still standing at the cashier, finished paying for his groceries, Devan approached Allia who was waiting for him in front. As they head out of the shoe store, they see Alvino, Tama, and also a security guard.

...———...

Alvino shook his head at the explanation Allia gave. Him

"You hit Devan but Devan bought all that for you?" tanya Alvino is possessed by Allia.

Alvino was confused. Allia looks very happy when she sees Alvino.

"This is for you, Al," Allia gave Alvino a shirt.

Alvino noticed a shirt that looked like it had just been bought. "This shirt?"

"Yes, that's the couple shirt that Al bought earlier. One for Al, one for me."

"Devan mean?"

Allia smiling. "Yes, hehe ...."

"Basic. Here's the hug." Alvino opened both of his hands wide which was immediately greeted by a hug by Allia.

"Don't leave without telling me again." Alvino kisses Allia's cheek.

"Yes, brother Al. Now Al isn't angry, is he?" Allia took off her embrace.

"No. Let's go in" said Alvino, seeing the day almost night.
