Arriving at the rooftop, El immediately spread out his hands, looking up at the sky.
Inhaling the air last night noticed flickering lights all over the city. It looks beautiful in color in every building.
"Oh God .. I feel completely free this time."
He put his handbag on the wall. Take out the cigarette and burn and then take a deep sip.
Continue like that while paying attention to the busyness of city A. The place where he was born and raised.
Without realizing it, a pair of eyes since then continued to pay attention to his movements.
"It turns out my suspicions have been right all along. That geeky girl in thick glasses, curly-haired turns out to be you, El. I might be fooled."
Tara looked at the girl's back and then called out to her in a firm and loud voice.
"Ellin Davina!!!"
Deg ....
The heavy distinctive sound he was so familiar with instantly made him shocked. With great difficulty, El swallowed his saliva. As much as possible, he was just ordinary. He again took a sip of his cigarette and ignored the call from Tara.
"Ellin Davina!!" For the second time Tara called her name.
There's no answer. El remained unmoved and instead looked indifferent.
"Ellin Davina!!!" call Tara again for the third time
Tara had thought if he was wrong because El remained unmoved as if he did not care. He patted El on the shoulder as he stood right behind him.
"Sorry, since you called Ellin Davina's name, but that person isn't here" El said casually and looked back.
"It's just me here, Culun," El continued, blowing his cigarette smoke. "Maybe you're hallucinating again or maybe it's an astral figure that resembles the figure you called earlier" El concluded and chuckled.
Hearing El's words just now, Tara tightened her jaw. He held the girl's arms together and forced her to embrace him, but El muttered and continued to hold her chest.
"Don't pretend anymore El!!" he snapped and forcibly removed the girl's thick glasses.
Just touching it made El shocked. Tara immediately smiled cynically looking at him.
"You're nothing at all?!! Leasin!!" indignant El was no less irritated, he pushed Tara's chest and then wanted to stay away.
Not a few steps, Tara quickly pulled the collar of her dress so that the dress with the V neck model was torn.
Tara immediately smiled cynically looking at the back with the girl's distinctive tattoo. But a little guilty because he found his former bogem looks impregnated.
El who was now feeling panicked started to look agitated. But the panic was a little unraveled because of hearing the sound snapped from Kai.
"What the hell, Tara!!!! What did you do to him!!! Are you out of your mind, huh!!!!" snapped Kai.
He immediately took off his suit and approached El and put his suit on El's body.
"Don't make a troublemaker here, let alone this is your important event. Think of your wife, your parents-in-law, especially your parents. If the reporters know this, not only are you ashamed, but your family and your family-in-law, plus their good name and your company" said Kai.
Tara shook her head in annoyance at Kai's words that seemed to be advising her. Instantly both hands clenched with tightened jaws.
"El!!! So it's true that you sold yourself to this jerk?!! Being the bed-satisfied woman?!!! Hypocritical woman!! Cheap!!!" meaning with overflowing emotions at the same time demeaning and accusing him without knowing the truth.
El just shook his head to hear and accept the degrading insult. He breathed deeply withholding emotions.
"Kai." El hugged her tightly and whispered softly, "Take me to a place where I can calm down."
Tara felt her blood getting boiling, watching El hug Kai tightly before her eyes. "I can't believe it," her inner self.
"Come ..." Kai breaks his embrace and embraces El's back, leaving Tara, who looks so emotional and angry.
Shortly after being in the car. El just mute. Kai who was sitting on the steering wheel looked at her with a guilty feeling. He also grasped the fingers of El and then grabbed it.
"I'm sorry .." whispered.
El simply shook his head, only his tears became the answer. After that Kai returned to drive his vehicle.
Along the way, El remained silent and kept looking out the car window. Until finally Kai reprimanded him when the two had arrived at one of the artificial lakes.
"Darling ..." Kai opened the car door and squatted down and buttoned the suit that wrapped El's body to cover the torn part of her dress.
El looked at Kai. Cupping his two firm jaws then hugging him while crying.
Pain ....
Disappointed ...
Shock ....
The man who once defended her, helped her and loved her. But now, back accusing him, humiliating him.
El sniffled in Kai's arms. The tightness of his embrace indicates if he needs support from Kai. For a moment Kai just let El cry as much as he wanted while stroking his back affectionately.
"Cry if your burden is heavy, because your tears are prayer when your mouth is unable to speak" Kai whispered.
"Kai, am I a cheap woman in your eyes? Am I a hypocritical woman?" tanyanya while sobbing.
"No, it was I who made you look cheap and hypocritical in Tara's eyes. But not for me" replied Kai.
"Honey, I'm sorry, all the roots of this feud started with me. Again forgive me."
El shook his head then cupped back the face of the man he initially hated so much that it was even disgusting to him.
"Enough and don't apologize anymore." El kisses Kai briefly and then caresses him. "This lips have said the word 'MAAF' hundreds of times, '" whispered El with a whimper.
Kai's outstretched hand wiped the tears still running down El's cheek.
"Darling, yes, yes" said Kai. "Let's sit there." Kai directed his gaze to one of the empty benches.
El just nodded then clasped Kai's hand. After the two sat on the bench, El leaned his head against his shoulder and closed his eyes.
"Dear."
"Hm."
"Do you know what makes me so sure that you're El even though you look geeky?" ask Kai and then kiss his forehead.
El just shook his head.
"The scent of perfume and the BASTARD you used to say" Kai whispered. "No woman would dare call me a bastard other than you. Do you know what? Very rarely do women use one brand of perfume."
"Most people like to replace them. Usually women who still like the scent of perfume that's the type of woman who is loyal," said Kai.
El simply shook his head and further buried his face into the recesses of Kai's neck.
"Darling, your bag is left on the rooftop" Kai whispered.
"Leave it. I lost everything in my bag. Because I'm going to reuse my true identity" El replied.
"Are you serious?"
"Hmm, no matter what happens I'm ready" said El.
.
.
.
Tara who is still in the rooftop looks so upset while rubbing her face rough.
"Aarrrrrrgggghhh .... damn!!!!!!!"
A second later his eyes were fixed towards El's little bag. He grabbed the bag and then checked it.
He smiled cynically as he held El's cell phone. Frowning stared at the girl's wallpaper screen.
There is nothing strange just that the wallpaper of his phone is a photo of his parents. Unsatisfied, he opened a photo gallery.
But he had to be disappointed because in the photo gallery there are only photos of the girl's parents.
Satisfied fiddling with El's phone, he then checked the contents of the girl's wallet. There are only a few cash sheets, KTP, KM, SIM and ATM. Tara smiled meaningfully.
A few minutes later, he took a deep breath and tidied up his suit. He then returned to the ballroom to join his wife.
.
.
.
After feeling quite calm, El finally asked Kai to drive him to the hotel where he was staying.
"No, tonight you stay in the penthouse. I'll ask one of the hotel staff to take your suitcase to the penthouse" said Kai.
"All right," said El.
After which, the two left the place heading towards the car.
