All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

61. May he not recognize me ...

Time passed, El continued to live his activities as usual, working while in college. As time went on, he slowly started to forget about Tara and Kai. Two men who are different in character yet both love her.

Neither El nor Kai, they knew they were in the same City. Kai, who is busy with hospital construction projects, is willing to go back and forth between the cities of A and X only to continue to monitor the process of building a hospital that he will dedicate to El.

If Kai often goes back and forth from City A to City X, another case with Tara. In order to please her mother, Tara is forced to follow her will to go to City X just to meet with Dian. The girl he's gonna be paired with

El does not even know, if Tara and her parents have several times moved to Dian's house to get to know each other further.

Maybe because El is so busy, plus he is actively following the campus organization. Not to mention when morning to afternoon he had to work and then continued with lectures at night.

Coinciding today, after finishing taking the odd semester exam, El was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because he and his friends were going to have two weeks off from college.

A look of happiness enveloped the girl. Her sweet smile continued to expand on her face.

"Finally, the day I was waiting for arrived as well. I can't wait to meet my favorite bike" he murmured. "Well, pah, aunt Karin. I'll visit you guys."

El stepped back while counting his footsteps until he hit someone again.

Bruukk....

He looked up at the man in front of him.

"If the road is high, look ahead don't look down. You are, what a habit," scolding Candra while shuffling El's curly hair.

El rolled his eyes lazily and protested. "Ish .. You should have moved away from dong! It's quiet in place! You were on purpose?!"

"Who's wrong is trying?" Candra chuckles.

"Yes .. yes, I was wrong, Mr. Candra! What business are you doing here?"

"Nothing, Lun. It just so happened that I was going to the project site and the direction passed through your campus so I all stopped by."

El just nodded. After that, he sat on the bench stop followed by Candra.

"Lun."

"Hm."

"Don't you want a vacation? You're going to have a college break tomorrow?" ask Candra.

"Wind me, but I have to give Amanda permission first. The plan is, I'll take a week off" replied El.

"Where do you want to go on vacation?"

"There is one anyway." El answered clearly.

Candra fell silent then glanced at him who was still wearing a mask. He wondered where the girl was going on vacation.

"Lun, let me take you home, instead of waiting for the bus, it looks like it's still a long time.''

El shook his head. "No, I'd rather take the bus. You said you wanted to go to the project site. Yes, there!" banish him.

Candra scratched her non-itchy head hearing El's speech.

"Party yes .. I am allergic to luxury car rides? Take the bus and the motor." El chuckles.

Not long after the bus he was waiting for arrived. After saying goodbye, he waved his hand at Candra who was still staring at him on the bench.

"Hm ... Is there a person who is allergic to luxury cars? The boy was just there" said Candra shortly after the bus pulled away.

Project location ...

Upon arrival at the project site, Candra approached Kai who was seen chatting with one of the building supervisors. He also greeted him.

"Kai, it's been a while?!"

"Come on, where are you from?!''

"Sorry, before I came here I stopped by W."

Kai furrowed his brows and smiled. "I'm so suspicious, don't you meet someone there?"

"Just a friend, I was going to drive her home, but she refused. Said he was allergic to fancy cars."

Both of them laughed as they felt ridiculous about the girl's words.

"Kai, have you found the girl you're looking for?"

"Not Candra, to be honest I can't calm down before I find her."

"Don't despair, Kai, keep looking until you meet. Oh yeah, when did you get back to City A."

"Tomorrow."

Candra just nodded and asked him to find a place to shelter.

In the evening at the restaurant ...

Tok ... tok ...

As she turned her gaze toward the door that had been opened, Ms. Amanda commented with a smile.

"Lun, come. I know there must be something you want to talk about" guess Ms. Amanda.

"Mom Amanda knows this?!"

"I've memorized." Both chuckle.

"Mom, can I take a week off? I'm going home."

Ms. Amanda reviewed the smile. "Bby Lun. When?" ask Amanda Mom.

"Tomorrow, Mom."

"All right, no problem. Have a nice trip" said Ms. Amanda.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Sama-sama Lun's.

After that, El left the workspace of Ms. Amanda and approached her coworkers.

Just as he was about to approach one of the restaurant's guest tables, he was summoned by one of his themes.

"What's Dinda?" ask El.

"Help me take this tray of food to the VIP room."

El rolled his eyes lazily. He felt uncomfortable if he had to go to that room. Not without reason it must be because of Candra.

"Cih, what a bitch! This must be Candra's order, right?!" the upset.

Dinda nodded.Kok knows?" ask Dinda.

"You know, who else is booking the room if not him, said El.

Shortly after opening the door, El was sculpting on the spot, how not only was Candra in the room but there was Kai as well.

Instantly the feelings of fear, hate and anger become one. He only realized when Candra rebuked him.

"Lun, why are you still standing there?"

El took a deep breath to neutralize his feelings. After that, he acted as relaxed as possible and then reviewed the smile.

"Sorry," he said.

He approached the table and served food on the table. When he placed the plate filled with food in front of Kai, his hand trembled slightly.

Kai reprimanded. "Are you okay?"

El just nodded and was a little nervous. Kai furrowed his brows as he felt very familiar with the smell of the girl's perfume.

"The perfume reminds me of El."

"The food is ready, sir. Please enjoy dinner."

"Thanks yes, Lun," said Candra with a smile.

After which, El hurriedly walked out of the place towards the toilet. He clenched his hands and cried.

"Oh, God, why do I have to meet him here?" lirih.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room, Kai seemed to be thinking.

"Kai, let's eat the food," said Candra.

"Hm."

"What's wrong? Why are you daydreaming? Do you want to change the menu?" ask Candra in a row to her little friend.

"Ah no, Candra. I suddenly remembered it. The smell of that girl's perfume reminds me of her."

Candra just shook her head while staring at the handsome face of her little friend.

After that, they continued their delayed dinner. After finishing dinner. Both of them left the room.

The two meet again with El who is seen hurriedly walking towards the door of the restaurant.

"Lun!'' call Candra.

El who just wanted to open the door of the restaurant paused his intention and turned to look at Candra. He grew more nervous as Kai kept looking at him.

"May he not recognize me."

"What's up, Candra?" tanyakanya.

"No. Looks like you want to go home, huh? Let me just take you with me."

"No ah. I told you, I'm allergic to luxury cars."

Candra and Kai immediately laughed at her words. After which, El hurriedly headed for the stop. While waiting for the bus, El continued squeezing his fingers and looked agitated.

Not long after, the bus he was waiting for arrived. He got on the bus and sat by the window. He took a quick glance at Kai who was still looking at him.

Before finally the view of the two was cut off when the bus had already moved away from the stop.
