All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

170.

One week later ...

Tok ... tok ...

Kai directed his gaze toward the door he knocked on. She smiled as Daniel approached her.

"Daniel?" he said, then he got out of his chair.

"Kai, am I interrupting," she asked.

"No .. It looks like you want to convey something. And, congratulations to you and Vira, before," said Kai, patting him on the shoulder.

"Thanks yes, Kai. Oh yeah, don't forget to come tomorrow. Moreover, you are the owner of the hotel," said Daniel reminded him.

"Sure ... I will definitely attend, let alone dress her friend El," said Kai and smiled. "By the way, what's going on?" continues asking.

"Tonight I'd like to take you to a bachelor party at B.A Pub" Daniel said.

"But I'm not a bachelor anymore, Daniel. Soon I will be a father" said Kai.

"Come on, Bro. Just tonight. Some of us do not want to just celebrate, "again Daniel again.

Kai shook his head hinting if he refused. He felt better spending time with his wife than having to celebrate Daniel's bachelor party.

Rejected by Kai, Daniel sighed in disappointment.

"It doesn't matter. But I hope you're at my wedding reception tomorrow" she said.

"Well ... anyway, did you also invite El?" ask Kai pretending he doesn't know.

"He was the one who was the main one, let alone Vira desperately wanted his presence. You know for yourself, what they both look like" Daniel explained, smiling.

"I miss him a lot" Kai said, imagining his wife's face.

Daniel chuckles. "Conscious Bro, she's someone's wife, especially now that she's pregnant. You have a wife and you are going to be a father" Daniel said, punching his arm.

That person is me and my wife is El herself, even the child in her womb is now my son.

Kai smiled. "Hmm .. You are right. It's so hard for me to forget him" I'm Kai. "Here you go, it's lunchtime, would you like to eat with me?" tawang Kai's.

"May," said Daniel.

"Yes, we go to xxx restaurant. You go first in a moment I'll catch up," said Kai.

"OK." Daniel leaves Kai.

*******

Restaurant xxxx ....

Daniel and Kai are back in a casual conversation.

"Kai."

"Hm."

"What about your health?" ask Daniel.

"As you see now. I'm fine," Kai lied.

Not without reason, at any time, Daniel could have told El. Although now they know he and El are not a married couple. Kai is still struggling with his illness.

"Thank God, I feel relieved, too" Daniel said.

Shortly after, Kai's phone shook. Knowing if the one who contacted him was El, he asked for permission for a moment.

"And, I went to the toilet for a while, yes" he said, and immediately moved from his seat to the toilet.

Feeling safe, he immediately shifted the green button.

"Darling, are you still in the hospital?" tanyakanya.

"No, Lois and I are on our way to the restaurant ..."

"Xxxx restaurant?" sela Kai then chuckled.

"Kok know?"

"It just so happened that Daniel and I were having lunch here. So ... I'm waiting for you at table number six huh," said Kai.

"Hmm," answered El briefly.

After that, he decided on a call. As soon as the call is cut off, Kai returns to the table and continues eating.

While waiting suddenly someone greeted him by patting him on the shoulder.

"Kai, Daniel .. woaah what a coincidence," said the man who was none other than Candra.

"Hey, Bro .. when did you come here? Why didn't you call me?" reply Kai.

"Yesterday, I got an invitation from the bride-to-be" explained Candra as she punched Daniel in the small arm. "Anyway congrats yes, Bro" said Candra.

"Congratulations, Candra. When did you catch up? After Tara, Kai, El, I then when are you?" daniel's girlfriend to him.

"I don't know, but just pray for me to meet a soul mate here" he replied with a smile.

Fifteen minutes passed ...

From a distance not too far away, El seemed to wave his hand at Kai with a sweet smile.

"El, what the hell are you doing? What if you get caught," Lois annoyed.

"Dear, just calm down. I have a thousand and one ways," he chirped with a cry. "Let's go get those handsome guys samperin" he said.

Lois just shook her head.

"Hallo ... happens to meet you here" said El with a smile. "Mara ..." El smiled at him.

"El, I'm not with Mike" asked Kai.

"She's still a patient" El replied, clutching her husband's fingers under the table. "Oh yeah, Candra. I know this is my friend Lois" said El.

"Candra," she said.

"Look .."

Tik ....

Daniel flicked his finger and smiled meaningfully looking at Candra and Lois alternately.

"It just so happened that El brought Lois here."

"Why?" El and Lois were astonished.

"Candra your soul mate is right now in plain sight" Daniel chirped.

"Pppfff ... hahahaha ..." El's laughter rang out while shaking his index finger in agreement with Daniel.

"I agree" said El quickly. "Lois and Candra are both single, so .. there's no harm in us dating them both," said El.

"Bg ... Eeeel ..." Lois narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

"Lois, I don't think there's any harm in you trying. Candra's a good guy. I've known him for a long time even since childhood" Kai said.

While Candra occasionally he glanced at Lois. Even a little interested in the crossbreed girl.

"If I'm private, no problem .. why not," he said. "The problem ... Lois won't?" he continued and looked at Lois who looked timid.

"Ciieee .. There is something wrong with this behavior," led El to his friend.

"Ck .. what the hell is El," he worried.

The atmosphere on the table, seemed colored with the presence of El and Lois. Their chatter continues to be interspersed with eating their ordered food.

After spending about an hour in the restaurant, El and Lois say goodbye.

Soon Kai, Daniel and Candra follow after Kai pays their food bills.

Shortly after being outside the restaurant both Candra and Daniel both thanked Kai for his treat.

After that, they started leaving the restaurant.

Dear Assalamu'alaikum readers ... Author of new novel promotion again. Please support yes. 🙏😘😘

This little snippet of his first chapter 🙏😊😘

Azzura looked pensively staring at her mother nanar who was lying weakly on the patient bed.

His hand did not come off continue to hold the fingers of his mother who seemed to be asleep with a hose that was still attached to his nose.

"Oh Allah .. What should I do? Where I have to get that much money for my mother's surgery costs, including her treatment for the next chemo" he said.

Her tears began to trickle thinking of her and her mother's fate.

"My salary as a barista will not be enough to finance the mother's treatment" he pleaded with his mother's face. "Even the money of retired mothers and late fathers can not suffice," he said with a sigh.

Zu took off his mother's hand, then kissed the woman's forehead that he loved so much.

"Mom, I'm going to work first. I'll try to find a loan for my mother's medical expenses. Whatever it is, I have to heal so we can be together again" he said.

After that Zu left his mother who was still lying weak with eyes that kept closed.

With a gontai move, Zu stepped back while thinking of a way to get a loan.

"Should I borrow money from Madam? Although having to pay for it does not matter," he hiss.

Fun with his mind suddenly ....

Bruinsk ....

He hit someone and his steps stopped and he looked up.

"Ah .. sorry Doc, I did not intentionally," he regretted, looking down and clenched his hands together in the chest.

The doctor just smiled.

"It's okay. Next time if the road do not daydream," the doctor ordered and reviewed the smile.

Zu just nodded then left the doctor, headed towards his motorbike in the parking lot.

*******

Shortly after arriving at the Cafe where he worked, Zu took a deep breath.

"Zu, spirit" he said, raising his hand to symbolize spirit.

He also stepped foot into the cafe and immediately greeted his friend who first arrived from him.

"Zu, are you late?" ask Nanda his best friend.

"I stopped by the hospital for a while to see my mother" Zu replied with a smile.

"How's auntie doing now?"

Zu sighed. "Mom has to be operated on, Nanda. This is why I am confused looking for a loan. You know, the cost of cancer surgery is very expensive, not to mention if you have to undergo chemotherapy," explained Zu with a sad face.

"Patience, Zu. Later we will try to help with the gathering of money," suggested Nanda while stroking his best friend's back.

"Thank you, Nanda" he said.

The two returned to work serving shoppers who were ordering drinks. Every day the cafe is always crowded.

After making a drink ordered by someone, Zu also called the name of the customer, but the buyer did not go to the table bartender cafe.

"Nan, this is mesan, which person is it?" ask Zu. "From that moment I called, the guy didn't come here" she said.

"Oh that, the crossbred girl sitting there," pointed Nanda towards the girl who was playing her phone.

"That's really nice? Waiting for a while can not," his grunts then approached Laura's lover from the son of the owner of the cafe where he worked.

"Sorry .. Excuse me, Miss. Here's your ordered drink," said Zu then put his ordered chocolate drink cup.

"It's so long loe!" he stared intently at Zu.

"Sorry Miss Laura" said Zu.

"That's how you apologize, huh!! Don't you know who I am?" he snapped again with confidence.

"Know Miss Laura. You are her lover Mr. Close," replied Zu.

"It is not just a lover, but will be his wife and prospective daughter-in-law of the big family Kheil Brandon," he said boasting.

Zu just nodded.

"Huh! How annoying! If you weren't Close's lover, I would've scolded you" Zu grumbled in his heart and left the crossbreed girl.

********

Afternoon ....

With a bitter feeling, Zu ventured to step towards the workroom of the great mistress.

Before knocking on the door, he took a deep breath to neutralize his bitter feelings and knocked on the door.

"Come in" said a voice from inside the room.

"Good afternoon Madam" Zu greeted with a smile.

"Ah, Zu-chan. Afternoon too. Come here, "please ask the madam.

Zu nodded then sat down on the chair opposite Madam Liodra.

"What's up, Zu?" lady Liodra asked with a smile.

"Mrs, I'm here to ask for your help. I mean ... eeemm ... I ..."

Zu seemed hesitant to express his intentions.

"Tell me, don't hesitate" said Lady Liodra.

"Mrs, can I not borrow some money from you?" asked Zu then lowered his head.

"Borrow money? But what's Zu for?" madam Liodra asked with her eyebrows intertwined.

"For the cost of my mother's surgery and chemotherapy treatment, Madam. My mother has cancer" she said, still lowering her head. "I will repay the payment even though I will forever work for Madam" he continued.

A meaningful smile rose from the thin lips of the middle-aged beautiful woman.

"Zu, I won't lend you any money. But I will pay for all your mother's care during her treatment. But there's a condition" Madame Liodra hung up on her.

Zu immediately looked up at the Madam.

"What are the conditions, madam? I will accept that condition to see my mother recover again" Azzura said.

"Marry my son, Close, then all your mother's medical expenses will be my responsibility" Liodra said.

Zu was very surprised by the conditions proposed by Mrs Liodra. Not without reason, he knew full well who Close was. A proud man, arrogant, likes it casually especially he already has a lover.

Azzura looked worried. On the one hand he was afraid but on the other hand he desperately needed money for the cost of surgery and continued treatment of his mother.

But for the sake of his mother's recovery, he accepted the condition by force, even though he already knew what the risks would be.

"Well Madam, I will accept the terms from you" he said. "Madam, let me keep working at this cafe," Zu pinta bitterly said.

"I'm sorry Zu. All this I did because I didn't like Close to keep in touch with Laura. I don't know why I don't like that girl" Inner Lady Liodra. He felt guilty for the girl.

"Well, if that's all you want" said Madam Liodra.

After that, Zu said goodbye leaving Liodra's room.

"Yes Allah ... I should how? Since college, Close hates me so much that he doesn't even bother insulting me. Especially if he knew, the woman who would be his wife was me and not Miss Laura, she said.

Zu continued walking until he reached the parking lot. Just as he was about to put on his helmet, the man he had just had in mind passed him with a look of hatred. I don't know what made Close hate him.

His heart grew increasingly stare at the sturdy back of his master's eldest son. Again he breathed a rough breath.

"For the sake of mother's recovery, I will be as strong as possible to deal with it with a field of chest," he explained.

He also turned on his motorbike leaving the cafe to the city park to just entertain himself.

******

Shortly after being in the city park, Zu sat leaning on one of the park benches. He looked up, looking at the sky that was beginning to darken. Her tears came back remembering her mother.

"Bu .. Mother must be healed. If you recover, I promise I'll take you for a walk to the top. We will reminisce again about all the memories of us and our father when he was alive" he said. "Hold on mom. Don't leave me. If mother leaves me then I'm the same who else will be," he said with a trembling voice accompanied by a clear crystal that fell from his eyelids.
