Alvin embraces Daniza leaving the garden of her spacious and beautiful home. As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, he pulled the woman into a hug. Alvin could feel Daniza's body still trembling. Seems very frightened and embarrassed by what happened in the park just now.
"I'm sorry. Don't listen to what Aunt Keshia says" whispered Alvin softly.
Daniza. His tongue felt stiff to just say a word. Alvin took the woman deeper.
It took a few minutes for Daniza to neutralize her feelings. Moreover, some people who were at the party looked down on him.
"I want to get out of here, brother!" ogre. Those pair of beautiful eyes were now in a clear liquid.
Alvin's getting ambushed by guilt. Intention to introduce the woman of his choice to a large family even makes Daniza humiliated in front of all family and friends of his mother. "Yes already. Come on, I'll drive you home."
"Sister Alvin is here, the show's not done yet. I can go home by myself by taxi." Daniza didn't want to mess up Mama Elvira's birthday party with Alvin's departure. Let him go, is he not a stranger in the house?
"I can't possibly let you go home alone by taxi, let alone it's night." Alvin's tone sounded pressing.
Emboldened to raise his head, Daniza stared inside the man's bead. He could see the sincerity of Alvin's gaze. But, somehow it made him feel even more unworthy and inappropriate.
"I don't feel good about Elvira's mother if Alvin's sister leaves. It must be an important day for her."
"It's okay, mama will understand." Alvin tried to convince. Because Mama Elvira must know when the time is serious and when the time to joke. And, after the incident, it is certain that Mama Elvira's flagship weapon will lose its existence for a while.
"But, Sister ...."
"I don't like buts!" cut Alvin fast.
Daniza finally gave up. Alvin took her to a parked car not far from where they are now. On the way home, silence dominated. Alvin focused on driving, while Daniza looked at every road they went through.
"But, Daniz!" Alvin obviously refused, because he wanted to accompany at least until Daniza felt better. Daniza did not drop any tears, but Alvin could see how she screamed inwardly and hid the wound in silence.
"Please don't make my position harder, brother. Aunt Keshia's words are true, I don't deserve to be in the middle of your family. Brother Alvin can get a much better woman."
Alvin's anger went back up. Keshia's sharp tongue has become a sturdy fortress that separates it from Daniza. "I just want you! Otherwise you better be single for life!"
Alvin's words were so pressing that Daniza frowned in wonder. A big question mark appeared in his mind, about what made Alvin so fixated on him. Wasn't their relationship in the past just an upperclassman and a younger sibling?
"Please leave me, brother! Alvin can be happy even without me." Daniza is back in tears. He doesn't want to be taken advantage of Alvin's love. "From tomorrow I'll leave this apartment."
Daniza's threat made Alvin's body shake. For whatever sake he would never give even the slightest gap of ant holes for Daniza to leave her life. However, Alvin also knew how hard Daniza was, so he had to have the right style to tie the woman.
"You want to run away from responsibility? Remember you still have hundreds of millions of debts. If you want to go pay off first."
Daniza was sitting where she heard Alvin's words. His breath seemed to be restrained right then and there. Where will he get that kind of money in the near future?
Actually, Daniza was convinced that this was just Alvin's wits to hold him back. Because the man never bothered about whatever money Daniza spent. "Don't force it, brother!" smirking again.
"I'll push if I have to!" Alvin gripped both shoulders of Daniza with a sharp glare. "Dare to get away from me, you have to be ready your life is not calm!"
Daniza froze staring at the man's black bead. Alvin who is usually friendly, warm and a little funny now looks quite creepy. With an unexpected move, Alvin, who was overcome with anger, pulled the nape of Daniza's neck, brought her face closer and put their lips together.
Make a pair of Daniza's eyes widen. He felt his body being stung by high-voltage electricity. Moreover, Alvin's lips moved very wildly and forcefully.
