The Throne of Desire of the Candidate Duda

Chapter 22

...I was broken by over-belief, broken by choosing the wrong person and I once decided to fight for a heart that fights for others. Being stabbed by your own heart is more painful. That destroyed me once, many times rose only to be destroyed again....

...It's not about who's wrong and who's right, it's not about me or him you pick then. But it's about the faithful you pawned, I can no longer believe, seeing you is like looking at my own broken heart....

...-alvino Wilson...

"Aw sick," complained Alvino as Aliya cleaned the wound on her hand. The wound was severe enough that bruises and cuts filled his fist.

"Have known it will hurt, but still hit the wall like a hero, what by beating the wall your heartache is reduced? Broken heart may be, but don't be stupid because of feelings."

Hearing Aliya's words, Alvino felt so shunned. Yes, he was stupid for sticking with a heart that was no longer intact, but he had a reason, there was a smile that he had to keep expanding.

"You insinuating me or what, huh? Ck, you're young and don't know what it's like to be heartbroken and betrayed, so don't be pretentious."

Aliya had just finished dressing Alvino's wound with a bandage. He raised his head looking at the man who was currently looking at him in annoyance. "I'm confused, why do you still survive if it can not be maintained? ... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interfere in your domestic affairs, but if your heart isn't sure why it should last?"

"I hold on for the smile of someone I keep from feeling sadness." Alvino resuscitated his body while staring at the ceiling of the room. "Naya has congenital heart disease. He should not be surprised, should not be sad and also he can not play freely like a child his age. Heart surgery can only be done when she reaches six years old, which is why I survive even though I myself was overwhelmed to hold Shela to stay, at least until Naya finishes the surgery she must keep in mind that both her parents are fine."

Aliya finally understood if all this time behind Alvino's attitude, there was such a deep wound. Wounds that can not be told to anyone, because people will not understand, how the sacrifice of a father for his son.

"Hey, why do you see me like that, you don't need pity. Now you know everything, right? I didn't deliberately torment myself, but Naya was more precious than myself." Alvino turned his face away as he felt his eyes begin to heat up.

"Thank you for making me understand. Naya must be so proud to have such an amazing Daddy like you. Rest assured one day he will come into your arms and say 'let go Daddy, I'm fine' . Yeah, sometime and until that moment comes, you can count on me."

"My shoulders are sturdy enough to support your head, just try." Aliya pulled Alvino's body until the man's head leaned against Aliya's shoulder

Alvino looked startled and he could feel a strange hissing in his body. "Hey boy, what are you doing." Alvino tried to establish his position but Aliya instead held back so that he did not move.

"Shut up, first. Listen to me carefully, it's okay if you stick with a marriage that's already on the verge of collapse, but remember you can't prop it up yourself, engaging others as the handle is not bad, but remember, your burden will feel lighter. From now on you can talk casually with me, because for this matter it seems no longer a personal matter that you can overcome on your own. Trust me I'll keep everything a secret, while all the decisions about your marriage are in your hands, I'm not going to interfere."

Aliya kept Alvino's body away from him, the man still seemed to be fixated to the point of being unable to say anything. Alvino felt that now he really had a backrest, and sure enough, he felt better after leaning on that weak shoulder.

"Then I want to go to the office first. If you don't want to go to the office, I'll tell Secretary Abian if you don't come in. Your phone is completely destroyed, it also seems to need a new phone, later I will also tell your secretary, excuse me."

Aliya immediately went to her room because she was too late. It was hard to leave Alvino but how else, he was just an apprentice boy who could not laze around.
