All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

87. All because of my ego attitude ...

After Kai died, Tara looked increasingly frustrated and rubbed her face violently.

"That geeky girl's voice? The sharp eye-wielding gaze? Why do I seem to see that geeky girl like El?"

Tara immediately left the resort and contacted Candra. His current destination was his bar.

Upon arrival at the bar, Tara sat down on one of the bartender's table chairs and ordered a drink.

While waiting for Candra, the words of the geeky girl again ringed in her ears.

"Mr ..." His daydreams instantly broke when the bartender rebuked him.

"Just put the whisky bottle here" Tara said.

"All right, sir," said the bartender.

Tara immediately gulped down the drink with a single gulp. Feeling less, he poured it back and gulped it back down.

Shortly after, his shoulder was patted by Candra. "Bro, are you okay?" ask Candra and sit next to her.

Tara just flinch while twirling the brown liquid in her glass.

"Candra, did Kai really settle in this town?"

"No, it's just that he often went back and forth from Cities A and X. It is also only to monitor the development of hospital projects that are currently still under construction," explained Candra.

"So once a week he's in town. After that, he returned again to City A even still busy taking care of his company based in Germany. Why why?" Candra asked back.

"It's okay. Does he still come to this place often?" search Tara.

"Only once. Kai's changed, Tara. Let alone women, drinks and cigarettes he has not touched. If he goes to a place like this he is just entertaining himself," explained Candra with a smile.

Tara smiled cynically as if in disbelief at Candra's words, which were as if defending her former boss.

"Did Kai ever meet a girl at this bar?" search Tara again want to make sure.

Candra frowned looking thoughtful.

"Yes, they had a fight even the girl kept cursing and cursing him. The day after, Kai told me, the girl disappeared and didn't spend the night in her apartment" Candra explained.

Tara seemed to think and then looked inward, "If El disappeared that night then where would he really be?"

Tara looked frustrated. Sipping his drink again even his mind grew increasingly chaotic and chaotic.

Candra shook her head looking at Tara who kept sipping her drink.

"Tara, never mind, from now on you keep sipping the liquor" said Candra

But the words of his friend he considers like the wind.

Meanwhile, El, who had been conscious since, seemed to be standing on the terrace of the balcony of the Resort room while sipping his cigarette.

Her tears trickled back considering that Tara's indirectly insulting words also demeaned her. He smiled smirk.

"Oh God, now my eyes are wide open. I just realized that he was no different from the others either. Tega insulted me and demeaned me."

He looked up at the sky which was now studded with thousands of stars. His heart melos, sad and sick as a sword.

"Oh God, strengthen me."

Kai, who had been watching her since, stepped slowly towards her and stroked her back.

"Kai .." he said.

"I'm sorry, because of me, you have to hear a very hurtful speech from Tara" said Kai.

He took El's body into his arms.

"I didn't expect, if you'd slap him like you did to me two years ago. I'm sorry." Kai clutched him tightly with a feeling of guilt.

"Honey, our relationship in the future will definitely not run smoothly. There must be a stumbling block that will get in the way. Are you ready to face it with me?" asked Kai while looking closely at the face of his future wife.

"Yes, I'm ready. I won't care what people think of you either" El said.

"Thank you." Kai landed a kiss long enough on El's forehead. "We'd better go home now," asked Kai and then unraveled the deck.

"Candra, do you know a girl named Culun? One of your mama's employees?" ask Tara.

"Yes, the girl was a little mysterious even impressed judes also sniffed at me and Kai. He always keeps his distance from people like us" Candra replied as she chuckled remembering the girl.

"Did she and Kai have a special relationship?" search Tara curious.

Candra shook her head. "No. Even though the girl looks geeky but her coworkers really like her personality," said Candra.

Tara seemed to contemplate looking closely and studying Candra's words just now.

"Why would I feel if the girl's personality was exactly the same as El's?"

"That's it, from now on we just keep talking about the girl" chirped Candra. "Oh yeah, when are you and Dian getting married? Don't forget to invite me, Bro," said Candra, clapping her friend's shoulder.

"Another week" said Tara.

"Congratulations, Bro."

Tara simply nodded then gulped back down the rest of her drink.

********

Late at night, Tara has to swallow her disappointment because her confidant can't find El. Dismissed was all his plans to teach the poor girl a lesson.

Inevitably, he finally stopped his search because the deadline had exceeded one year.

Apartment Kai ...

Meanwhile, El who had just cleaned himself now looked fresher. He also seemed to approach Kai who was busy struggling with his laptop.

"Kai .. take a shower, I'm done," suggested El and sat down beside him.

"Yes ... soon because my job is almost done," he said slowly and seemed still seriously tinkering with his laptop.

After he finished, he closed his laptop and put it on the mattress and then reviewed the smile staring at the innocent face of El.

"Do you want me to make coffee or tea?" tawar El's.

"Tea just." Kai stroked El's smooth cheeks for a moment and headed for the bathroom.

For some reason, El felt pity staring at the lethargic face of Kai who looked a little pale. He immediately moved to the pantry to make tea.

After finishing brewing tea, El climbed the stairs again until he reached the room. He placed the tea on the sofa table and grabbed his cigarette to the balcony.

El looked at the tall buildings that were parallel to where he was standing today. The lights now illuminate every building in every corner of the city. There are even vehicles that still divide the city.

Suddenly he gasped in surprise when Kai kissed the back of former bogeman Tara who already looked purplish.

"Sorry" Kai whispered and hugged her from behind. "It must hurt."

"It's okay, the pain is only temporary," El replied and then sipped his cigarette again.

Kai grabbed the rest of the cigarettes still tucked in the finger slit and turned off the fire. After which, he turned the girl's body facing him.

"Darling, are you an active smoker?"

"Hmm, since both my parents died. And it got worse when I was working at the bar" El explained with a smile.

"Are you also an active drinker?" El shook his head.

After that, it was quiet for a moment. Before Kai finally re-opened his voice.

"Let's go in, aren't you cold just dressed like this?" asked Kai, but he was also only bare-chested.

El chuckled and stroked the chest of Kai's clay right on the tattoo with his dragon.

"Then you? Isn't it cold just bare-chested?" El asked back.

"There are you who will warm me up" Kai replied and commented with a smile.

"Yes, let's go in. Finish your tea while it's still warm."

El precedes Kai into the room. Soon Kai followed and shifted the big glass door.

"Kai, I'm really upset with doctor Mike and my friend Lois" El said suddenly.

"If they're not busy, I'll take them here to see you" said Kai.

El just nodded slowly and lay down. "Take your tea after that. Tomorrow you have to go to A" said El.

"Alright," said Kai and then sipped the tea a little

Thirty minutes passed ...

Kai approached El who was now asleep with a prone position. Slip bruises on the back then down to the seams scars.

"Dear, I'm sorry. All this because of my ego," whispered Kai. After that he fixed El's sleeping position.

Looking at her shady face while stroking her cheeks fondly and then peeping her forehead and lips.

He lay down and took El into his arms.

"Kaaaai," said Lirih El because he felt disturbed.

"Sleep, I just want to hug you" Kai whispered and closed his eyes.
