All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

25. Feeling bitter ...

Tara closed her eyes, until someone hugged her and placed her chin on her shoulder.

"El," he whispered.

Again the woman who hugged him felt very upset and angry. He immediately let go of his embrace and hit Tara's strapping back.

"Again?! You called the name El!! Honey ... who is he?" snarl.

And at that instant, Tara immediately gasped. He immediately hugged his lover. But because Clara was already upset, she rebelled and struggled to escape from Tara's embrace.

"Sorry .. Sorry, dear. I was wrong" he regretted, then kissed the lover's lips.

Clara just kept quiet, she felt very disappointed with Tara. The clear hair on his eyes just escaped.

"Darling .. do you still love me?" ask Clara.

Tara was silent and could not answer. Indeed, he also felt confused and dilemma with the feelings he had now. Trapped between two women of different characters and backgrounds.

In silence Tara could only close her eyes then let out a deep sigh.

"Dear, speak. Why are you silent?Usually if I ask like this, you will immediately answer me. But now you look confused instead," concluded Clara and continued to look at the handsome face of the man who was hugging her.

Tara just shook her head and smiled then stroked Clara's face which seemed to wait for a response from her lips.

"Honey, it looks like we're just moving places, we're looking for a new atmosphere" Tara's pinta switched the conversation.

Clara shook her head and let go of Tara's embrace.

"No. I don't want to until you answer my question,"

Tara was silent again.

"Ok fine .. if you don't want to answer me. Then don't blame me, if I know who El is. The name of the woman you used to call unconsciously while with me," Clara threatened while clenching both of her hands.

Daniel, who had been next to Tara, could only listen to their conversation. Daniel himself was not too dizzy, because he did not really hear what Tara and Clara were talking about.

"Honey, don't be like this, El's nobody, he's just a friend. We have no relationship whatsoever. Don't be jealous of that dong," explained Tara as well as calm her lover.

"You didn't lie, did you?" inquiringly.

Tara simply nodded then poured the drink into her glass and immediately gulped it down.

After that, there was no talk between them.What was heard was just the sound of music that continued to echo in the pub.

Tara just kept sipping her drink and occasionally smoking her cigarette. He returned to the figure of El.

Tara recalled that when she had just sipped three glasses of whiskey, El had reminded her of her fear that she would get drunk.

Unlike Clara, he even took the drink with him. Not infrequently Clara offered.

If El is just a cigarette addict and stay away from free se*ks and greatly appreciate and enjoy his work. Unlike the case with Clara who considers drinks, cigarettes, free se*ks is her habit and she enjoys it very much.

Likewise with his work as a model and designer, he only considers it as entertainment. Not without reason, it is because Clara was born from a fairly well-to-do family.

Tara's smile was re-engraved imagining El's face smiling kindly to the moment.

"Tara, you're not sick, are you?" daniel asked, touching his forehead.

Tara immediately brushed aside Daniel's hand while grieving and then finished the rest of the drink.

Daniel immediately chuckled at the boss's sigh.

"I want to go home, Dan" he said.

"Darling, do you still want to be here?" ask Clara who was pouring her drink into a glass.

"it's too early, honey," replied Clara.

"I'm tired and I want to rest, baby. I'll take you home first. Your car, let Daniel deliver tomorrow" he concluded.

"Hm."

Inevitably Clara obeyed Tara's orders. He moved from his seat and grabbed Tara's hand and walked out of the pub.

On the way home, Tara did not say much. He only focused on driving until he reached Clara's residence. After opening Clara's car door, Tara drove her to her doorstep.

"Honey, come in, before going to bed, wash yourself first and take a bath with warm water, yes" he recalled.

"Honey, I'm going in first yeah, you be careful on the road" whispered Clara.

"Hmm .. ya already entered gih, greetings to your mama and papa," said Tara as she stroked Clara's cheek.

After making sure Clara got into the house, she approached her car and sat in the steering wheel.

Tara leaned her head for a moment while sighing then massaged her slightly dizzy head.

Finally Tara returned her car and decided to go to her parents' residence.

After a few minutes, he arrived at the luxurious residence of his parents. A house that he rarely stepped on his feet in that place.

Security guards who are very familiar with Tara's car, quickly open the gate of the house.

After parking the car, Tara approached the door and opened it.

Ms. Arini and Her Majesty, who are still in the living room, were shocked by the arrival of the Son.

"Son, come here, it has been a long time since you have set foot in this house," said His Majesty as he spread his arms to hug his son.

Tara approached her papa and hugged her tightly. There was a deep longing in his heart as he got a warm embrace of his papa.

"Are you okay? Looks like you've been drinking again huh?" ask Your Majesty.

Tara just nodded in her papa's arms. After being satisfied to hug her father, Tara took off again. He approached Mommy Arini and laid his head on her lap.

Mommy Arini furrowed her brows feeling astonished by the one and only Son's attitude.

"What's up, son? Mommy feels like there's something you're thinking about" guessed Mommy Army as she stroked the son's hair, which was now on his lap.

Tara just kept quiet while closing her eyes, she really missed the caress of her momy that she had never felt because she preferred to stay in her apartment.

"Tara, until when do you want to be like this, son. Your age will soon be 32 years old.Do you not want to introduce the future son-in-law of Papa and Momy?" ask His Majesty to his son.

Again Tara was silent and still closed her eyes.

"Tara, you heard me, what did your father say just now?" Mommy Arini asked.

'Yes Momy, Pah, I heard it" Tara said, opening her eyes and sitting down.

"Bah, Mommy. Do Papa and Mommy still remember the doctor who once treated Papa in the VIP room almost two years ago?" ask Tara.

His Majesty and Mommy Army seemed to think and remember.

"If Momy wasn't wrong, she was an intern at the time ... wouldn't she, Pah?" momy Arini asked and turned to her husband.

"Maybe he's already a doctor at the hospital. Papa is happy with his personality. His son was gentle, painstaking, friendly and polite," his Majesty praised El.

Silent moment...

before Tara finally made her voice again.

"Well, Mom .. if the future son-in-law of Papa and Mommy from ordinary people .. would Papa and Mommy accept it?" tanya Tara's full of probes.

His Majesty and Ms. Arini, were immediately surprised to hear the question from his only son.

"Especially he no longer had anyone. I mean, she's an orphan," Tara continued, lowering her head.

"Have you and Momy heard wrong? Didn't you have a long relationship with Clara's son Pak Surya? Then who is this woman you mean?" search Mr. Mulia astonished.

"Tara .. listen to Papa and Momy. Momy and Dad never looked at social status. Before becoming successful people like today, papa and momy also had a difficult life. So it doesn't matter, son. Whichever woman you choose, papa and momy still accept her as our daughter-in-law."

Momy Arini nodded in approval to her husband's words.

Tara was just silent and seemed to think at once to feel bitter.

The problem is, does El accept me? Then how do I explain this to Clara? I'm afraid he'll do nothing to El.

Feeling that her mind was starting to mess up, Tara said goodbye. He decided to go to his room.

His Majesty and Momy Arini could only shake their heads at the unusual attitude of his son.
