Chapter 23: Reza's Desire To Protect
"What do you want?"
El looked at Alvira boredly because he saw this girl's behavior, his sister was now very spoiled for him of course he felt very lazy to see Alvira like this. All of this is the result of a man named Bian who promises to be his enemy for life.
"Bara, I want egg martabak, want yogurt, want egg roll, want red velvet cake, want delicious street food--"
Feeling Alvira's request that was so mounting, El finally decided to shut his sister's mouth slowly to stop talking. He sighed with exhaustion, just imagining it tired him. "You want to kill me slowly?" he asked with a snort that escaped his mouth. Alvira always behaved like that, there was much she wanted and of course, also had to be obeyed.
"Ugh don't shut my mouth, annoying! I'm not done talking yet. And I didn't mean to kill you, I'm not a psychopath, you know?" Alvira said as she let go of El's hand that was in her mouth, it irritated her half to death.
"A few minutes ago you asked me what I wanted in a sweet voice, it was my turn to say what I wanted, you gave up. Then it would be better if I was sick for a long time and didn't want to get well. You don't care as an older brother after all. ' she continued, puffing out her cheeks. She began to hide her body under the thick white blanket.
"Don't be sulky, you'll get old quickly," El said as he sat on the edge of Alvira's bed. His hand moved to stroke the top of the girl's head very gently.
"Don't touch me! Your hands smell of dirty clothes, my hair will smell weird later!" Alvira screamed while sinking her body deeper until her whole body was covered by the blanket, she did that so El's hand wouldn't stroke the top of her head.
Sulking and threatening, it was Alvira's most powerful weapon. You see, that's right, now the man is struggling to shake Alvira's body slowly trying not to be consumed by emotions. There is only one girl who can act like this to El, that is Alvira.
"If you don't get the blanket off you, I'm leaving," El said in the end, he didn't mean to act like that to his sister, but Alvira was annoying, more than anything.
From inside the blanket came a 'wle' sound, proof that the girl was now mocking herself by sticking out her tongue. "You are very stupid and I don't care if you threaten. Please leave if you wish, even as far as Pluto and you will also disappear from the earth and the universe." She said, still maintaining her position like that.
She was so familiar with El that she dared to answer the man's words without any intention of doing so. If El intends to leave her, she will go on a hunger strike and also be lazy to talk which will confuse the whole family.
El ruffled his hair roughly. "Okay, I'll do what you want," he said at last. Rather than him dealing with a girl who was difficult to understand, he would rather say yes to all her requests.
Hearing that, Alvira immediately jumped out of bed and hugged El tightly. "I LOVE YOU, MY TWIN, FOREVER!" She shouted excitedly. She loved El so much because she spoiled her too much without ever saying no. Slightly sulking and El immediately granted what she wanted, that was easy.
"We're not twins." El corrected with a straight face because he heard Alvira say 'twin' to both of them. He returned Alvira's hug, stroking the back of his sister's head affectionately, especially considering that the head had become a victim of Bian's carelessness in playing basketball.
"Yeah, I forgot, I'm an angel, if you're a refrigerator, that's why you're single until now. So, who wants to date a fridge like you? We." She said as she let go of their arms. She gave El a goofy smile that looked beautiful.
"Up to you," El answered while getting up from his seat. Then looked at Alvira with a worried look. However, he would never forgive Bian.
Dispelling thoughts of Bian, he began to bring his face closer to the top of Alvira's head, he kissed her briefly. "You're noisy, I'll go first." He continued his words while giving a very sweet smile.
If only El was friendly and liked to smile, surely his fans would grow.
Alvira nodded. "Yeah, be careful on the road. If it's like this, I love you even more." She said, pursing her lips and narrowing her eyes. Gosh, this cute pose looks like it will be immortalized for anyone who sees it.
"Yes," El answered simply.
Alvira smiled, then looked at El with puppy eyes that made the man very weak. "Is that your only answer?" She asked in a low voice that sounded like she was very sad at the short words El said to her.
"Then what do you want, Alvira...?" El said in a slightly irritated tone, and it was undeniable that he also had a high level of patience. He was wrong, and of course, always was. It seems that the nature of men is never right in the eyes of women.
"Tell me now that you love me too, so I'm not the only one expressing my affection for you," said Alvira in a very spoiled tone. Suddenly her facial expression changed to a cheerful one. See, it's all just an act used to weaken El's heart.
Maybe for the other girls, El is very hard to beat. But for Alvira personally, El is like a cute doll that can be played with at any time. Even when other girls demand El's attention, it's easy for Alvira to get them all.
El sighed, then he smiled the sweetest smile he had never shown to anyone but Alvira. "I love you too," he said in an even tone. Although his face is now almost similar to the facial expressions of Mario and also Reza who is indeed famous if they like to smile, still his trademark as the coldest man will never be displaced or replaced.
After making sure Alvira didn't protest anymore with what she was doing, now El finally managed to get out of his little sister's room.
"What did Alvira ask you, El?" Reza asked, indeed he had not returned from the house of his friend he was talking to, waiting for El to come who had already returned Nusa's bag. Meanwhile, Mario, the man had impudently taken all the side dishes that Mira had provided, after being full, Mario chose to immediately say goodbye to go home. Sounds stupid, right?
"Just a simple request like a normal girl," replied El.
"What are you saying? Do you know what a girl's habit is?" Reza asked, laughing amused. The reason is, El said as if he knew how the requests of the girls in general. Even though El has never been reported to be close to any girl, then what does this man know?
El rolled his eyes. "You bastard, are you making fun of me on purpose, or what?" he asked, but don't worry, their conversation never offended anyone.
Reza stopped his light laugh, then started clearing his throat a little. "But I'm asking you seriously, or am I the one who bought Alvira's request? If you buy the wrong one, it can be bad, later the little lion named Alvira will be angry," he said who was very willing to offer services.
"No, I can and won't be wrong," said El quickly. He didn't have much time when Alvira's condition could only improve with piles of food. A girl who likes to snack, but it does not affect her weight.
The possessive nature re-emerged in the recesses of El's heart. He never let anyone into his little sister's heart after the Fabian incident which left a deep wound on Alvira. He just didn't want his sister to be hurt for the umpteenth time. No, not because he doesn't believe in Reza. But what he did was a positive thing just in case, right?
Reza lightly patted El's shoulder who wanted to leave him. "Until when, El? How long are you like this with me?" he asked in a choked voice, feeling his best friend limiting his love for Alvira.
With raised eyebrows, El began to turn around. He looked at Reza's face which could not be underestimated in each of his sculptures. "What do you mean?" he asked, feeling clueless.
"How long have you been keeping Alvira on hold for so long and holding back someone who wants to try to get close to your sister? I mean, Alvira also needs someone who can heal her from her old wounds, El." Reza said while showing a small smile.
He is indeed known as a playboy and to him, it sounds familiar, but... this time he feels serious about Alvira. Yes, if Reza didn't mean it and hurt Alvira's heart like Bian, he could have guessed that El would do something to vent his anger.
El returned a flat expression on his face. "So, what do you want?" He asked again.
El also feels bad because he also understands that if Reza is going to be serious, he is just taking his distance. Seeing Alvira hurt, also made him feel the same way even though he couldn't feel the pain of love.
"I want to be the person who is always there for Alvira like what you have always been afraid of, the one who looks after Alvira besides you and if at one point you are not there for her, let me take turns looking after her."
