Arriving In Paris

The hour hand showed at 03:00 in the afternoon. Ella, and Kairi had already prepared her luggage in the living room, they were about to leave for Juanda Airport. Miss Halimah, and Gilang gathered at Miss Mirna's house, they'll take Ella to the airport. Ms. Halimah looked at her daughter with an erratic feeling. On the other hand he was happy to see Ella married to the person he loved, but on the other hand he also felt sad, because he had to live far away from Ella. France and Indonesia are two different countries on the continent, of course it will be very difficult if you want to meet.

"Mother why?" ask Ella while approaching her mother.

"It's okay son." replied Ms. Halimah with a smile.

"Mad Halimah must be sad, as well as Mama El. We'd actually rather have you, and Kairi stay in Indonesia. But how else, the house there is empty, and Kairi also wants to take care of the business that is there. So inevitably, we must allow you to stay there." said Ms. Mirna while sitting next to Ella.

"Important we always exchange news Ma, later me and Gabriella will often go home. It's okay, ma'am, I'm taking Gabriella to Paris?" kairi asked while sitting next to her mother.

"Of course not, she's your wife she should have come with you. But I said yes, please take care of him, and please understand him, if sometimes his attitude is a little spoiled." replied Ms. Halimah with a smile.

"I've never spoiled Mom." said Ella.

"Yes, Gabriella never spoiled Mom. He is very independent, very very independent" Kairi said with a chuckle.

"I've never spoiled Kai." Ella said with annoyance.

"I would say so dear" said Kairi.

"You're not sincere when you say it" Ella said.

"I'm sincere darling, but I'm also a little surprised, why lately you've been sulking so often" Kairi said while looking at Ella.

"Because you're a bitch!" ella Sahut.

"Haven't fuss, let's put it in his stuff car. It's Papa's ready." said Ms. Mirna, pointing at Mr. Louis who had just approached them.

"Where's andra? He said he wanted to go to the airport." asked Mr. Louis.

"I'm ready Pa." Andra said as she walked down the stairs.

"Then let's go now!" said Mr. Louis.

"Yes Pa." replied Kairi as she lifted her suitcase, and carried it to the car.

Gilang, and Andra help Kairi carry her things into the car. After all the stuff was put in, they all got in the car. Mr. Luois, Ms. Mirna, and Andra were riding in Andra's car. While Ella and Kairi, they get into Gilang's car. Kairi sat in front, next to Gilang. And Ella, he was sitting in the back next to his mother.

The car slowly started to drive away from Ms. Mirna's house. Tracing the streets that are quite dense, they are traveling at medium speed. Ella rested her head on her mother's shoulder, and soon she would be living far away from her mother. Stiffened by the uneasiness in his heart, but how else, ever since he decided to choose Kairi, he had to be prepared for the consequences. He and his mother had to live in different countries.

"The embrace is tighter" said Ella, looking up at her mother.

"You must not be spoiled, ashamed to be seen by your husband" said Ms. Halimah as she hugged her son tighter.

"I'm not spoiled Mom, I just want to be hugged" Ella said.

Kairi glanced at Ella who was indulging with her Mother. He put a smile on his lips.

"It turns out you can also be spoiled, baby. But I feel happier, than ever, that you're so secretive and don't want to share the burden. But now you're so sniffy, and sulking often. Why you, baby?" kairi said in her heart.

About forty-five minutes away, they finally reached Juanda Airport. They all got out of the car, and started taking out their luggage.

Fifteen minutes from now the plane will take off. Kairi and Ella began to prepare to leave.

"Be careful, son, don't bother your husband there too much" said Ms. Halimah as she hugged Ella.

"Yes Mom, I'm fine at home. Take care of your health, don't get too tired, and don't eat late." replied Ella while rubbing her mother's back. Soon, he let go of his embrace.

"Titip Ibu ya Mas." said Ella while staring at Gilang.

"Yes, I will always take care of Mom" Gilang replied as he hugged Ella at a glance.

"Take care of yourself El, call Mama often" said Ms Mirna while hugging Ella.

"Yes Ma, Mama is also fine at home." replied Ella as she returned her mother-in-law's embrace. And before long they let go of her embrace, Ella walked up to Mr. Louis and Andra

"Be careful Gabriella, just tell Papa if Kairi does anything." said Mr. Louis while rubbing Ella's shoulder.

"Yes Pa." replied Ella with a smile.

And Ella gasped in shock, as Andra suddenly hugged her without excuse. Andra hugged him tightly, while whispering in his ear.

"Thank you for all the things you've taught me El. I promise I will try to be a good person. And I'll try to erase my feelings for you. Promise me to always be happy." whispered Andra softly.

"Thank you for all your kindness Ndra. You can do it, you're a great guy. Even though I can't accept your feelings, you're still valuable in my life. You are my best friend Ndra." Ella replied in a whisper.

Then Andra let go of her embrace, smiling as she looked at Ella who was smiling at her. Shortly after Kairi approached Andra, he hugged his sister at a glance.

"Job in earnest, I believe you can hold a business in London later on" Kairi said, patting Andra on the back.

"I'll try." answered Andra.

Then Kairi approached her mother, and her father. He hugged them at a glance.

"Take good care of your wife" said Ms. Mirna, wiping Kairi's arm. And Kairi responded with a nod.

"Mother Ella's titip ya son." said Ms. Halimah while hugging Kairi.

"Yes ma'am, I will definitely always take care of her" Kairi replied with a smile.

Then Ella and Kairi started walking away from them. Ms. Halimah and Ms. Mirna stared at their departure with a sense of haru. They embrace each other with teary eyes.

"Sadly yes Mbak let them go, but this is also for the sake of their happiness" said Ms Mirna.

"We wish them all the best" replied Ms. Halimah.

"Yes, Mother."

Andra looked at Ella and Kairi's departure with a pushy look. It was as if something was missing from the bottom of his heart, which left a gaping hole of wounds. Andra let out a long sigh, trying to accept this reality airily.

"You really have gone El, and I must completely erase my feelings for you. Pray that I can. I want to love the Saints, just as I love you. It's hard, but I have to." Andra said in her heart.

***

Ella and Kairi were sitting together on a bench, on a plane. For almost half an hour they were in the iron bird that carried it flying above the clouds.

"Why baby?"

"I'm tired." replied Ella.

"Sleep, I'll take care of you" Kairi said, embracing Ella's body, and bringing her into her arms.

"But like this is uncomfortable Kai" Ella said as she looked up, looking up at her husband.

"Then?"

Without giving an answer, Ella let go of Kairi's embrace. He lay down, and rested his head on Kairi's lap. He grabbed Kairi's hand, and held it in his chest.

"You don't sleep Kai." said Ella.

"No, I'll take care of you." Kairi replied with a smile.

Kairi lowered her head, looking at the face of his wife who was starting to fall asleep. Kairi stroked her hair gently, the happiness in her heart was already indescribable with words. She loves Ella, a simple girl with a perfect personality. Ella was the first woman to make him declare love. Although Ella is not the first woman to have a relationship with him, Ella is the only woman he has ever touched.

"I will always love you, until the limit of my age" said Kairi slowly, while kissing his wife's forehead long enough. He didn't care that even though the other passengers were staring at him, Ella was his wife, and he just kissed her forehead.

***

After a 24-hour journey. Ella and Kairi landed at Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport. They walked towards the car that picked him up while dragging his suitcase. Even though Ella was exhausted, she was very happy. He has arrived in the city of his dreams, a city that bears witness to his love story. Ella smiled to herself as she recalled that night, Kairi proposed to her under the tower. The iron tower was sturdy, and towering with its extremely bright light. She and Kairi will stay here, there will be plenty of time to carve out her love romance under that tower.

"You're smiling to yourself, what's up?" kairi asked while looking at his wife.

"Remember the past." replied Ella casually.

"What past?" kairi asked quickly, hearing the words of the past, her mind immediately imagined the figure of Andra.

"Why are you surprised?" instead of answering, Ella asked back.

"I'm not surprised, just curious. Your past is too beautiful huh, to the point that you smile to yourself when you remember it." replied Kairi with a bland smile.

"It looks like you misunderstood Kai" Ella said with a laugh.

"What do you mean?" ask Kairi.

"I smiled when I remembered you proposed to me under the tower. It's the past I mean Kai, it's what you think the past is." Ella answered still with a laugh.

"I think Andra." said Kairi, scratching her head.

"Don't haphazardly Kai." replied Ella.

Shortly after, they reached the car that picked him up. Kairi put her things in the trunk. And then they both got in the car, and sat in the backseat.

"Are we going home, sir?" ask Mr. Anton, a middle-aged man who has worked with Mr. Louis for a long time. He was one of his confidants, Mr. Louis.

"No, we go to the apartment." replied Kairi.

"Okay sir." replied Mr. Anton while turning on the engine of his car.

And slowly the car began to drive, leaving the airport location filled with many people passing by.

"Sir Anton!" kairi panggi.

"Yes sir." replied Mr. Anton.

"Papa will settle in Indonesia, and the one who takes care of the job here is me. I hope Mr. Anton can help me" Kairi said firmly.

"Of course, sir. Yesterday Mr. Louis talked to me about this" Anton said.

"Good then." replied Kairi.

"Can I work Kai?" ask Ella.

"You want to work?" Kairi asked back, and Ella answered him with a nod.

"Why do you want that, I will meet all your needs" Kairi said as she looked at Ella.

"Staying at Kai's bored house, I want to work. Work with you, and become your secretary. Like that time, it must be romantic Kai." said Ella with a big smile.

"Alright, we'll talk again later." Kairi replied while scratching her head. His wife wants to be his secretary, a slightly odd request according to Kairi.

And about half an hour later, Mr. Anton stopped his car in the apartment yard. He got out of the car, and helped Kairi bring her things into the apartment. Ella smiled happily as her eyes looked at the Eiffel Tower that remained standing firmly with its million charms. Nothing has changed, just like the first time he saw it.

Ella began to step on her feet, following the steps of Kairi who began to walk towards the elevator. And before long, the elevator stopped on the seventh floor, they started walking towards Kairi's apartment. They arrive at the doorstep, and Kairi opens the door to her apartment. Mr. Anton resigned after putting his things in the corner of the room. During her stay here, Ella did not want to be accompanied by a maid, she wanted to stay alone with her husband.

Ella and Kairi went into the room. Ella put her sling bag on the table, then she walked over to the window. Ella flicked her curtain wide, she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

"Air Paris Kai." said Ella as she spread her arms.

Kairi smiled at Ella's attitude, apparently his wife was very fond of Paris. Kairi walked up to Ella, and hugged her from behind. He kissed Ella's neck, which was slightly covered in hair.

"I'd rather inhale the scent of your body dear" Kairi said as she tightened her embrace.

"I'm serious Kai, look at that tower! It's beautiful." said Ella, wiping Kairi's hand, which was around her waist.

"For me there is nothing more beautiful than you dear" Kairi said, kissing Ella's neck, and biting her softly.

Ella stretched out Kairi's embrace, she turned her body, and looked at her husband. Ella smiled as she put her hand around Kairi's neck.

"What are you doing?" kairi asked while looking at Ella.

"I did something you wanted to do." Ella replied as her hand rubbed Kairi's jaw, then went down to her neck, and then down to her chest.

"You want it?" kairi asked as she clasped Ella's hand on her chest. Her next hand again, still clutching Ella's waist tightly.

"Do you still need Kai's answer." Ella replied with a smile.

"You're getting naughty dear." said Kairi as she brought her face closer. He grabbed Ella by the nape, and began to kiss her lips.

Ella felt her body start to heat up. And the heat was getting longer and longer throughout his body, beating the fatigue caused by his long journey. The longer the heat began to dominate her, and make her drift lulled in her husband's arms.
