The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

69

Almost midnight, Alvino had just walked into his room and he saw his wife sleeping under a blanket that covered her waist. He walked closer to the bed and slowly climbed up there. The smile on his lips appeared to rise as his hand gently rubbed his wife's peaceful cheeks in her sleep.

"I love you." Alvino gently kissed Rania on the forehead, until Rania squirmed slowly.

"Have you come home, brother?" rania asked in surprise as she opened her eyes.

"Sleep, it's night. I'm also very tired." Alvino put on a flat face and went to sleep turning his back to Rania. Rania's heart felt melos when she saw Alvino's attitude that became so cold to her. She looked at the back of her husband who was still wearing his work shirt.

Without saying much, Rania hugged Alvino's body from behind and inhaled her husband's scent. However, Rania again fell silent when she smelled the woman's perfume from the shirt her husband wore.

"Sleep, Brother. You must be very tired," said Rania Lirih while tightening her embrace. He tried his hardest not to cry at this moment. Why am I so crybaby? Shouldn't I be crying happily because my dream came true.

Alvino who felt Rania's embrace in her stomach tightened, could only shut up and pretend to be asleep. He felt really guilty, but what else? He had already stepped up and it was impossible to back down again. Although she was all her might to endure the pain in her heart when she heard the soft sobs from Rania.

In the morning, Rania was surprised when she opened her eyes, she saw Alvino already looked very neat. He put away the blanket that covered his body and immediately got off the bed.

"Sister, I'm sorry I had a bad time" Rania said in a panic.

"Sleep again, it's still morning" Alvino said without looking from the mirror in front of him. Rania immediately saw the clock on the wall of the room, her eyes were festering when she saw the new clock showing at six in the morning. She turned to look at her husband who was leaving her room.

"Where are you going, brother? Isn't it Sunday?" ask Rania wonder.

"There's a project out of town that's faltering and I have to check it right now. I'm sorry I have to go" said Alvino, who was standing in the doorway.

"But sister, why did Kak Kenan ask me to accompany him to surprise Ana? Didn't Brother Al go with Brother Kenan?" Rania's question made Alvino stop her footsteps.

"I went alone. Oh yes, you accompany Kenan. He asked me for permission yesterday."

"Good, Brother." Rania was silent when she saw Alvino's departure without saying goodbye or a kiss on her forehead, which had become their routine after being married.

"Be careful on the road, sister," muttered Rania with a forced smile. He bit his lower lip as he felt a tightness that felt crashing into his chest. In fact, involuntarily the corner of his eye let out a clear liquid that started flowing down his cheek.

Rania got up and walked to the bathroom. He has to clean his body and immediately help Kenan who will surprise Ana later in the day.

"Al, what's wrong with you?" anin asked as she looked at her cousin who looked so agitated.

"Either Nin, my feelings were suddenly uneasy and Rania was constantly reminded. I felt it was too much for him" said Alvino regretfully.

"Calm down, won't you be okay after this. Besides, your wife's with Kenan." Anin patted Alvino's shoulder slowly.

"Yes, it must be now that Kenan and Ana are exchanging their engagement rings." Alvino let out a long breath. As he was massaging his temple, suddenly the phone in his pants pocket rang. Alvino immediately picked up his phone, but his forehead shrunk when he saw Kenan contacting him at this time.

"Hallo, Ken."

"Al, can you come to my show? Rania was injured and unconscious." Kenan's voice sounded so anxious.

"What did you say, Ken? Say it again!" yelled Alvino to make Anin who was beside him squealed in shock.

"Al, I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of Rania. He accidentally slipped a spilled drink and is now unconscious" said Kenan Lirih.

"I'm there now, if anything happens to Rania. I won't hesitate to kill you, Ken!" alvino snapped instantly shutting off the call. He got up and rushed to his car.

"Al, where are you going? What about all this?" anin asked as she chased after Alvino's footsteps.

"I need to see Rania, Nin. He's hurt right now." Without waiting for Anin's response, Alvino's car drove away leaving Anin standing in place.

"Alvino-Alvino, you're so fucking. Exactly like Om Davin," Anin grumbled as she rolled her eyes lazily. He immediately walked in and finished his work.
