The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

26

Nadira went into her room to rest, she laid her body on the bed with pink sheets. He changed his position to the side to find the most comfortable position for his body, the eyes of Nadira stared at the nightstand, he looked at the picture of his family displayed on the nightstand next to the picture of himself with his friends. Nadira exhaled a long breath while staring at the two picture frames in turn.

"What do you have to do now?" Nadira Gumam. Her memory goes back to the moment where she saw Alvino and Rania while in the park that night.

Yes, he saw even heard everything, but he was afraid that if he said everything at this time, the misunderstanding that was happening right now would only get more and more protracted. Nadira did see it all, but he did not take the slightest picture when Alvino and Rania needed it like that. Nadira's brain tried to remember aloud, he didn't see anyone at the time except the two of them, but how could any photo of them reach Febian's hands causing this kind of misunderstanding?

"Bi, if you knew how Brother Al sacrificed for you, I am sure you would be very sorry to have said that to Brother Al." Nadira's tears slowly trickle down, she remembers how Alvino had to sacrifice her feelings just because she didn't want to hurt her sister and best friend. Nadira hurriedly wiped her tears when she heard her bedroom door on tap, she immediately got up and opened the door of her room. Nadira's body fell silent as she saw Alvino standing in front of her bedroom door with a faint smile.

"Sir Al," called Nadira, his voice still sounded a bit raucous.

"Can you come in?" ask Alvino for permission. Nadira nodded slowly and opened the door of her room wider, giving way for her brother to enter the room followed by Nadira who walked behind her. Alvino's footsteps came to a halt as his sister hugged him from behind, after which she heard a sobbing from coming out of Nadira's mouth.

"Sister, why would you be willing to sacrifice your feelings for someone else?" nadira asked in between her sobs. Alvino let go of his sister's hand that was coiled around her stomach, after which she turned around and looked at her still sobbing sister.

"You mean?" ask back Alvino, he did not understand the meaning of Nadira's question.

"I knew Rania was the girl that Big Brother had been looking for all this time and Big Brother loved her very much, but Big Brother relented just because Big Brother didn't want to hurt Febian and Brother Kenan." Alvino was silent to Nadira's words, he held his sister's shoulders while exhaling slowly.

"You know where it came from?"

"I saw Brother and Rania in the garden that night, but you have to believe that it wasn't me who sent the photo, I don't know who sent it because I was alone, sister," nadira said, he wiped the tears that were still flowing from the corner of his eye.

"Sister believes in you. Let it be, one day the truth will be revealed. We just have to be patient waiting for the time" said Alvino Lirih, he released his hand from Nadira's shoulder.

"It's just that Big Brother is happy, it means that Febian really loves Rania. He can look after and make Rania happy," said Alvino bitterly, he deliberately avoided Nadira's eyes because he did not want his sister to be able to see the heart wound in his heart.

"Nr ...."

"It has. Don't think too much, you don't want to get sick." Alvino interrupted his sister's speech. "Oh yes, Nad, can you borrow your phone to contact Nathan, there is something very important and your phone is running out of battery" Alvino said.

"Take it, on the bed. I'm gonna wash my face, my face is so ugly when I cry." Nadira pointed to her cell phone lying on the bed, after which she walked to the bathroom, while Alvino picked up her sister's cell phone and immediately contacted Nathan.

After he finished contacting Nathan, Alvino put his sister's cell phone on the nightstand. He saw two picture frames on the nightstand, his eyes fixed on the picture of Nadira with his best friend and there was Rania there. His hand involuntarily took the photo and rubbed the image of Rania's face at the very end. He smiled faintly as he looked at the photo of Rania who was smiling widely.

"You are beautiful when you smile like this" he murmured.

"Sister." Alvino shrieked in shock when he heard his sister calling him, he immediately put down the photo and turned his head towards his sister who was looking at him meaningfully.

"Thank you for lending me your phone, Nad. Brother went back to the room first," said Alvino nervously, he immediately walked quickly to get out of Nadira's room.

"Sister, I'd like to be honest with Brother if actually Rania also loves Brother very much." Nadira's speech was able to make Alvino's footsteps stop and his body pegged in position.

"Sister, after Big Brother's departure that night, I saw Rania who was crying and muttering that she had loved Brother a long time ago. She couldn't possibly open her heart to others, because she felt her love had run out for Big Brother. Please, brother, be honest with Febian and Kenan if you love each other. Before they both love Rania even more."

"Sister will not be selfish even though sometimes Brother wants to be selfish. Didn't many times Brother said that Brother does not want to hurt sister and best friend Brother. Brother please, respect Brother's decision." Alvino's voice sounded so heavy, he was speechless feeling the tightness in his chest as if he was hit by such a huge rock. Alvino immediately stepped out of his sister's room, while Nadira just stared at Alvino's back slowly away from him.
