The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

25

The atmosphere of dinner in the Alexander mansion was so quiet, all seemed to focus on the food and no one intended to open his voice. Suddenly Febian, who had not finished his meal, stood up and was about to leave the dining room.

"Where are you going, Bi? Can you have some courtesy with Daddy and mommy" Davin said, stopping Febian's move.

"Dad, Mommy. Bi wants to go back to the room," said Febian with a ketus.

"Daddy won't let you get out of here, finish your food immediately and there's something Daddy's going to talk to you about after this,"

"Dad ...." Febian who was about to protest immediately stopped talking when he saw Davin's sharp gaze towards him. He sat down at the dinner table and finished the remaining food on his plate. Nadira stared at Febian's strange demeanor, while Alvino just kept quiet and focused on his food. After the dinner was over, Davin led his three children to the living room.

"Bi, do you have any misunderstandings with Kak Al?" davin asked as he looked towards Febian.

"It's not a misunderstanding, Dad. That's the truth, didn't Daddy see the photo himself?"

"Bi, as long as you know, not everything you see is like what is in your mind" Alvino said slowly. Febian smiled cynically and looked hatefully at Alvino.

"Sister, you don't have to dodge like that. If Kak Al will not take Rania, why do you hug Rania so close? You know, brother, I hate you who's always at number one!"

"Elvian Febian Alexander! Watch your talk before Daddy loses his temper!" the angry Davin snapped when he heard Febian's words. Aluna rubbed Davin's back to calm her down.

"Dad, I've been quiet all this time when you gave anything to Brother Al. He can race, he can do anything even he has been given full responsibility for Alexander Group, while I, what do I get Dad? What?!" Febian was so emotional that he unconsciously spoke in a high tone in front of his parents. Davin's two eyeballs displayed flashes of anger, he didn't expect that Febian would be that brave to him.

"Bi, instead of us distinguishing you, let alone about the company. Only, for now you have not been able to Bi, you still have to focus on your lecture," said Aluna trying to calm Febian and Davin.

"Who is Rania's loved one?" ask Febian curiously.

"Only Rania and God know, because no one knows including Ana" Nadira said.

"In that case, I will try hard to get Rania's heart," said Febian steadily. They turned their eyes towards Alvino who was already standing from his seat.

"Try harder, Bi. I always pray for your happiness and that what you want is possible" Alvino said, trying to speak as calmly as possible so that no one would suspect that he was agitated at the moment. After saying that, Alvino stepped out his legs leaving those who could only be transfixed to hear Alvino's words.

"Bi, Mommy beg of you. Learn to control your emotions, your words must have hurt Kak Al very much," Aluna advised, but Febian just melengos and clicked his tongue because it was bad.

"Yes, you all just love Al. To you, Brother Al is the best and I mean nothing in your eyes!" pekik Febian angry.

"Febians! You really have no manners!" davin snapped, Davin's hands were already clenched when he heard Febian's words.

"I hate Daddy and Mommy who only love Brother Al!" After saying that, Febian walked quickly towards his room. Davin, already very emotional, was about to follow Febian to his room but Aluna immediately held him back.

"Here you go, let Febian calm down first. Don't solve problems when we're in an emotional state" said Aluna, she hugged Davin's body tightly, Davin immediately returned Aluna's embrace and kissed Aluna's head repeatedly.

"Dad, Mom," call Nadira softly. Davin and Aluna broke into their arms and stared at Nadira who was trying to hold back her tears.

"Calm down, honey. We pray that everything will be fine and this misunderstanding is quickly resolved" said Aluna who now turns to hug Nadira's body who just nodded slowly to hear Aluna's words.
