ELARA: FATED TO LOVE

31. Insulted

Shane gave Elara no room to move. He feels Elara's idea is very good and he will make it happen. She would really get Elara pregnant, she thought.

However, Elara again prevents Shane's behavior from becoming. Even the movement of the man's tongue that invites his tongue to struggle within the warmth of the lip cavity they both seem not willing to waste his reliability. Shane wants to prove that he is a good kisser.

"Shane, if you love me, then stop this before it goes any further." Elara blurted in front of Shane's face which was only a few inches from her face with breath chasing due to the intense kiss of the two.

"Why?" shane asked, not understanding.

"I want to do it again with you. Just with you." Elara stroked Shane's face at a glance to convince him. "... but do it again when we're married. Regarding the past, consider it our error. I want to get pregnant after we're tied up in the sacred bond of marriage. Moreover, we haven't got your mother's blessing you understand, do you?"

Shane understood Elara's commitment to this. Because of his sincere feelings for the girl, he tried to dampen something that had been provoked because of their ingenuity that had already happened.

"Alright, then we'll see you soon."

Elara nodded. "Yes, we'll get married after getting your mother's blessing" she said, calming Shane down.

"If you disagree? Are you going to keep insisting on waiting for that blessing?"

"Yes, of course. My blessing is the main."

"No! If mom doesn't approve, I stick to my commitment to marry you. I'm not a mother doll she can marry with her choice of woman. I had my own choice and it was you, Elara."

...****...

With a little courage that he had, today finally Elara had to follow Shane's desire to meet the mother of the man.

If I'm honest, Elara's very nervous. Especially when he set foot in Shane's residence again, that means he will also meet with Stevi again.

"Good night, Mother."

Shane's voice managed to make the two women sitting in the middle room raise their heads and stop looking towards Shane and Elara.

"Finally you came too" said Emma, who had been waiting for her son, who said he would see her today.

Emma seemed to move-stand-while putting down the magazine that had become her essence.

While Stevi, he was peeking at someone standing behind the back of Shane's field, he was sure it was a girl Shane would introduce to Emma today, she said, but he could not see and judge his face because it was still covered by Shane's body, even because the girl looked lowered her head.

Shane tightened his grip on Elara's fingers, trying to channel the power to her girl and as if giving a stimulus through the touch that everything would be fine.

"Mother, meet Lara, my girlfriend."

Shane shifted his body, and displayed the entire posture of Elara who was still standing lowered.

Emma looked at a girl wearing an olive green knee-length dress, her eyes squinting at the appearance of Elara from head to toe.

"Hallo, I'm Emma, Shane's mother." The middle-aged woman reached out to Elara and it made her raise her head. The look in his eyes met Emma, then revealed his best smile when he found Shane's mother who looked very fashionable.

"Hallo, I'm Lara," answered Elara gently.

Meanwhile, Stevi frowned slightly as the memory of her head recalled who the figure Shane was currently introducing to Emma. Of course Stevi is not that old to forget who the girl he had met was.

"Ela? You're Ela, right?" Stevi took a step forward, for the sake of seeing the girl's face more clearly.

This is what makes Elara nervous. A meeting with Stevi who recognizes him as Kyle's close friend. Although in other words he and Kyle are not close friends who lead towards 'dating' but Elara believes if Stevi means if he and Kyle have a special relationship.

"I-i ..." Elara hesitates to answer Stevi's question.

"Stev, do you know him?" emma's question leads to the two-bodied woman.

"Of course, Mother. She's Ela, she's the-"

"Stevi knows Lara as Kyle's best friend. Kyle was Stevi's cousin who had been here" Shane's sergeant interrupted Stevi's remarks to explain with his version.

Stevi was flabbergasted by the answer Shane said. He knows Elara and Kyle are more than friends. He can judge that by their closeness, even from Kyle's gaze on Elara.

"My name is Elara, Shane did call me Lara," Elara explained at last.

Emma nodded and understood the situation now.

"So ..this isn't your first visit to our home?" guess Emma.

Elara nodded. "I'm sorry, Auntie," he said, because he had previously visited here as Kyle's best friend, not as Shane's lover.

"Wait .. wait ..." Stevi wanted to straighten out something that felt awkward.

Shane took Elara to the dining table - where there was a menu provided specifically for the dinner to welcome the arrival of Elara.

Grumbling, Stevi followed his third step to eat at the dinner table.

"What are you doing, Lara?" emma began the conversation.

"I, I work as a teaching assistant, Auntie."

Emma's eyes opened wide when she heard it. "Woa, that means you're smart enough, including smart to tease my son. That so?" the sarcasm.

"Mother!" reprimand Shane with a stifled voice. He did not expect his mother would start dinner by directly saying cynical like that.

Elara, meanwhile, stopped her movement when she wanted to cut the meat on her plate. He was a little surprised by Emma's sarcastic speech.

"I think you're pretty enough, even with a decent job to show you're a smart woman, for that I don't think I should try to ask you to stay away from Shane because I think you know what the situation is right now that Shane can't marry you" said Emma.

"Mother?!!" Shane's stern voice standing up from her seat - made Emma speechless, just for a moment because the next split second a thin grin appeared at the corner of her lips. Emma was very relaxed, as if Shane's anger there had no effect on her.

"Listen, Shane. I won't ban you anymore. But ..." Emma glanced at Elara. "... I think you can still be warned to stay away from my son!" he continued speaking both ways.

Stevi who was at the end, smiled triumphantly. Though he has not said anything about what he knows about Elara but his future mother-in-law has already moved to firmly reject Shane's relationship with Elara.

"Mother, I will marry Elara with or without your blessing!"

Emma laughed loudly, for him Shane's speech was just a threat. He did not believe his son's bluff. He looked more and more at Elara.

"You know, there's a lot of difference between you and my son. Besides culture, culture, language, country and origin, you are clearly different. It's still a small part of it."

"Mother, I don't know since when did you judge my partner for that?" shane protest.

Emma raised her hand as a gesture to keep Shane quiet, she had not finished speaking.

"And some other, much larger factor is my consideration ..." Emma paused her sentence, returning a cynical smile. "... of course your degree. You understand that, don't you, Lara? Yes, even if you look educated, educated, maybe your parents have enough money to get you to settle in this country but you'll realize you're not worth your time with my son," continues punching.

And both of Shane's hands clenched tightly to hear his mother's words. "Enough, Mother!" snapped it. "I brought Elara here for me to introduce you to Mom, not to hear you insult her. So, save the mother's insults for yourself!" resounding.

"Look, Lara! Even the son I gave birth to can fight me just for your sake?" Emma laughed heartily. "You're very good as it turns out," he stressed.

Shane shook his head faintly when he realized Elara was so humiliated by her mother's words. He glanced at the girl who had lowered her head deeply. Even that made him grow angry.

"Despite all the insults of mother, Elara still contains my flesh and blood!" finally, Shane said, he insisted on maintaining the lie in order to make his mother disappear, although Elara had said to be honest about everything but Shane refused.

"You're sure it's your son?" This time it was Stevi's, not Emma's. "Don't it be flesh blood, Kyle!" continued with cynical piety.

"Stev!" The more Shane was furious with all this, Stevi's speech was just like lighting a fire on gasoline. Maybe Stevi wants to reciprocate Shane's attitude which also doubted the child the woman conceived. "Shut up! You have no right to interfere in my affairs!" Shane.

"Mom thinks it's true, Shane. Maybe it wasn't your son" Emma's one-voice chimpanzee with Stevi.

"Is that enough?" Suddenly Elara raised her voice. "Have you had enough to insult me?" his tananya began to dare to raise her face.

Emma chuckled softly, looking very elegant, but in Elara's eyes it was just a mask because in fact the mother of her lover was very heartless.

"If you are satisfied to insult me, then I will immediately leave here" Elara said, wiping off her rough tears.

"Lara," Shane said beside her, but Elara shook her head with a bitter smile.

"Please get out of here and out of Shane's life, Elara!" emma said.

Elara nodded, took the handbag she had brought, then moved even though Shane blocked his arm.

"Lara, you can't go!" sergeant Shane, he ran across the steps of Elara who almost touched the threshold of the exit.

"Shane, your mother's right, we don't deserve to be together. There are many differences between us. Our degrees are also very different. I'm just a pebble in your mother's eyes, Shane. Your life is in need of diamonds" Elara said in a choked voice. His eyes looked teary.

"Mom just wasn't sure of my seriousness to you yet."

"It doesn't mean I'm free to be insulted, does it?"

"I'm sorry, but as much as you refuse me, try to get away from me but I'll keep coming at you many times!"
