ELARA: FATED TO LOVE

43. Understand your fear

A hand grips that Shane felt tight when he had just occupied the cabin of the plane. Shane turned to the beautiful girl sitting next to him. It was Elara who seemed to carry an anxious look.

"Everything's gonna be okay, honey." Shane returned Elara's grip on her fingers, even giving a soft touch with her thumb to calm Elara down.

Shane can understand Elara's fear when she has to return to air transportation like now. However, Elara had an accident with a plane less than a year ago - which is precisely because they were also met.

"I'm scared, Shane," the great-grandson of Elara admitted. Actually he and Shane had discussed this from a few days ago when Shane had provided a plane ticket for their departure to Indonesia, but still Elara could not calm down even though there were so many tranquilizing sentences that Shane said to her.

"You just need to pray. And this time your trip is not alone, so don't worry too much. Hmm?" Shane looked at Elara with a reassuring look, making the girl only be silent without knowing what to respond to her man's statement.

The journey, which takes approximately 16 hours, will also be interspersed with two transits so it is only natural that Elara still feels excessive trauma due to events that had happened to her in the past.

Still vividly remembered in Elara's mind, how the beginning of the plane he was riding at that time had a shock then all the passengers suddenly confused and noisy. Now, Elara must be overshadowed by the incident again as she sits back in the cabin of the plane as it is today. Can you imagine how scared Elara is now? Even he had to suppress that sense deeply over the next 16 hours?

"If you're afraid, then go to sleep .. Believe me when you wake up, my hand will still hold your hand."

And Elara smiled wryly with the sentence Shane uttered. He knew how the man who fought him felt.

"I understand your fears. For that, I won't get angry if you seem excessive right now. But, can you forget for a moment the moment of the accident? Relax and enjoy your trip this time. Okay?"

Elara nodded, this time Shane hypnotized her.

"I ... too tacky huh?"

Shane laughed softly. "If people look at you at first glance then the answer is yes, maybe for others you're like the first time you've been on a plane. But for me, I know you're like this because of your trauma. But, who cares? You don't have to listen to other people's opinions" Shane said of the understanding.

"Thank you for understanding me."

"Of course, honey. Of course." Shane stroked Elara's cheek briefly. "If you still can't sleep, then use this." Shane also put earphones on Elara, asking that the girl listen to songs with the genre she likes.

In her heart, Elara is so grateful that the universe brought her together with Shane.

"Thank you, God. Because you predestined me to love a man like him," inwardly Elara gave thanks.

...***...

Elara was able to breathe a sigh of relief when their long journey was truly over. Now they are in their home country. Indoneszian.

Elara felt very tired, even she understood that Shane must have felt the same way.

"If you're not ready to meet my family, then you can book a hotel and we'll meet again tomorrow at my parents' house, Shane."

Shane shook his head, he stared back into Elara's clear eyes. "You've contacted your family and they'll pick you up here, right?" tanya Shane refers to the airport where they stand now.

Elara. His family will indeed pick him up, or maybe already at the airport but somehow in which part, because Elara has not seen any of her family there.

"Alright, I'll see them as soon as possible."

"Are you sure? Aren't you tired?"

Shane reviews the smile. "It would be a lie if I said I wasn't tired, but my goal here was to meet your family, right?" concluded.

"Liora!!!" peekik Elara, he called his sister there.

Liora-sang Sis-sang directly rushed into the arms of the Big Brother. After feeling satisfied, both of them broke the hug and the same second Liora could see if Elara did not come home alone but with a foreign man whose appearance. Hehe.

"Who, Brother?" Liora pointed at Shane with an eye gesture. Of course Elara knew what her sister meant.

Previously, Elara did not say if she would go home with Shane. After all, his family did not know that Elara was in a serious relationship with Shane. What Elara's family knew was Elara was close to Kyle and her departure from teaching in the countryside at that time was to keep a distance from Kyle - so that their friendship was not damaged - as a result of the friend's proposal tempo day. Elara gives an excuse if she needs some alone time to make her relationship with Kyle no longer awkward after her rejection.

Realizing that Liora was asking him, Shane reached out to Elara's younger sister.

"Hey. I'm Shane."

Now Elara giggles, the problem is Shane introduces himself by using Indonesian that sounds funny because of the unfamiliarity of speaking the language.

Liora laughed but welcomed Shane's hand of course.

"Hi, I'm Liora. You're a German? Or the English? I can use both languages so that we can easily communicate," Liora replied kindly with her English. The girl tries to give Shane an option, to ease the communication of the two.

Shane thins his lips, realizing that Liora is as smart as Elara.

"My mother is English, but my father is German. You can use any language you want not to speak Indonesian because I'm not good at pronouncing it yet" Shane admitted frankly.

The three of them finally chuckled. Shane feels Elara's sister is very humble and easily mingles with her. He was happy to get a reception like this and was accepted by Liora.

"Who are you, Dek? Same father Mother not coming?" elara asked her sister.

"Actually I wanted to come, brother. But there's a call from the cafe. I think there's a little problem there. I advise you to go there first, brother can I pick up alone. If the mother, the sister knows for herself, if lately the mother is not healthy. If Saka, he's busy chasing the lecturer for the final thesis."

Elara nodded in understanding of the situation, as they arrived in Indonesia indeed at rush hour like this time. Keep in mind, if Elara's father has a business that is several branches of the Cafe and Liora helped manage it. Mother Elara also has a boutique and bridal business that is sometimes also monitored by the Sister because the mother is not healthy lately.

Now Elara invites Shane to join the car parked by Liora at the airport slot.

Actually Shane is not used to being driven by a young girl like Liora, he feels awkward, he feels awkward, but it is also unlikely that he is taking over the wheel - given that he does not yet have permission to do so in the country of his beloved's birth.

"Where are we going, brother?" liora asked Elara. Shane himself was a lot silent to the interaction of the two brothers. Their faces look similar, but Shane knows that Elara and Liora are different mothers, Elara herself told Shane the other day.

"My sister and I are different mothers. My mother died a few days after giving birth to me. So, what you will meet in Indonesia is my bundle. She was not the mother who gave birth to me, but she loved me very sincerely, even she took care of me from infancy. He never differentiates between me, Liora and Saka. I love and respect you as much as a real mother."

Elara's sentence is always remembered in Shane's mind until she was curious as to what the face of Mother who took care of Elara with all her heart since her baby girl. Surely Mother has sacrificed many things to care for Elara which should not be her responsibility because at that time Mother was also not married to Elara's father.

"We went straight home, yeah, Dek. Brother wants to meet Mother and later we video call father if we are home," replied Elara responded to Liora's question earlier.

"Oh, okay, Brother." Liora refocused on taking her car to their Indonesian residence.
