ELARA: FATED TO LOVE

48. Streets

"Mirhane?"

"Hmm?"

"What's your next hope?" asked Elara who was currently facing the husband on their bed.

"In the future I want to build a good household with you. Do you mind if we have kids soon?" shane answered and asked his wife a question.

"Of course not. I am very grateful, if later we will be trusted immediately about the gift. Hopefully soon."

Shane smiled happily because it turned out that he and Elara had the same opinion and desire about this. His hand immediately stroked Elara's belly covered by a blanket.

"Yes, I hope he's here soon."

"Amand ..."

"Do you mind if we're going back to Hamburg soon? I'm sorry, if you feel overwhelmed by this."

Elara laughed softly, one hand moving in order to stroke her husband's firm jaw. "I know that the one who married me was a busy man. So, well .. we'll be back in Hamburg soon," he said.

Shane was able to breathe a sigh of relief because it turned out that Elara did not argue with him and understood his condition related to this.

"How are you feeling now? Right after we're actually married?"

Elara slicked her shoulders. "Let's see, I feel like a dream but more than that, I'm happy, Shane."

"Me too's. Thanks for everything, Honey." Shane stared at the goal on Elara's face and the woman realized that this man was not messing with her words.

Elara could only smile at her husband's good looks, while Shane acted by peeling off all of Elara's fingers one by one.

"Don't even think of leaving and leaving me, Lara. Because I won't allow you to do that." Shane emphasized his words and of course it made Elara shake her head.

"Shouldn't I have said that to you?" ask Elara realistically. After all, the worst risk when she has a husband like Shane is being abandoned by that man.

"No, no! Don't think I'm gonna leave you. I'm not gonna do it."

Elara only responded to Shane's words with a faint smile.

"I'm seriously. So promise me that what separates us is just one thing." Shane looks very serious now.

"What?"

"It is only death that makes us inevitably have to let go. Other than that, promise to stay by my side and support me."

Elara nodded with a smile now. "All right, I promise."

...***...

The newlyweds chose to take a walk in places Elara wanted to visit while still in Indonesia.

They spend a lot of time exploring many tourist attractions. Beaches, mountains and historical places such as Borobudur temple did not escape the visit of both. They make this moment as a complement to togetherness as well as a honeymoon.

"It turns out in your country everything is very beautiful. I was thinking of spending my old age in a rural village in Indonesia" said Shane, which made Elara quite surprised.

"I don't think Hamburg is bad either. Why do you want to age in Indonesia?"

"Yes, maybe because in Germany I'm too busy and if I continue there I will continue to be confronted by a pile of work."

Elara was really laughing right now, and chuckled even more as Shane added her sentence.

"At least, if I'm just busy with you here and I won't mind it."

The last day in Indonesia, they chose to take a walk to Bromo.

They climb at dawn to watch the sun rise there. Enjoy the scene by joining hands and never once let go of each other.

"Elara?"

Until the voice of someone who greeted Elara at the place, made the two turn their heads.

"You're Elara, right?"

Elara noticed someone greeting her and she knew it was one of her old school friends.

"Are you Danny?" ask Elara guess. He was afraid of misrecognizing considering the appearance of his boyfriend who looked different from the previous.

"yeah. You still remember me as it turns out," Danny responded.

Elara nodded her head. Shane just silently watched his wife's interaction with a man. Shane did not understand what their conversation was about but he was able to deduce it.

"Yes. You're getting pretty, El."

Elara just laughed in response to Danny's words that felt blunt.

"Who are you with here?" danny asked as he glanced at the man beside Elara, especially the grip of his two hands that seemed reluctant to let go of each other.

"Ah yes, meet .. This is Shane, my husband." Elara gestured for Shane to introduce herself.

And the two men shook hands by mentioning each other's names.

"I didn't think you were married, Ela."

"Yes, it just happened."

"Well, congratulations .." said Danny sincerely.

"Thank you's. Who are you with, who are you here?" ask Elara later.

"Ah yes, I'm with my office friends... There," replied Danny referring to one of the groups that are seen around them.

After talking about small things to be friendly, Danny also resigned to re-join his friends.

"He who?" shane asked without looking at Elara.

"Ah, he was my schoolmate."

"just friends? Not the ex-girlfriend?" investigate Shane with a tone of voice that sounds flat.

Elara chuckles. "Of course not. Danny was just a friend of mine at Junior High. No more," he answered frankly.

"I see if he admires you."

"You jealous?"

"Very."

"Don't overdo it, Shane. He's just my friend and we've never been in a relationship more than friends."

"Good." Shane looked at Elara. "Don't be friends with a man because I don't like him."

And now Elara rolled her eyeballs.

"i'm serious. Did you forget your story and Kyle's?" Shane's not messing around. He knew that Elara had something that could interest men.

"Shane, aren't we married now? I've become all yours so I don't think you need to over-hunt me" Elara tried to give Shane some sense.

"It is precisely because you are mine that I would warn you, dear. Not all boys can think of you as just a friend. Mostly, they'll just put more hope in you."

"Alright, I'll keep my distance from all my male friends. But just saying hello is okay, right?"

If I could be honest, Shane would say no. Never mind talking to Elara, someone saw Elara just Shane objected. Because most of the men's eyes that see Elara will look brazen in Shane's eyes. Or is it just his feelings? I don't know.

"All right, that's it and nothing more" Shane replied inadvertently.

Elara pinched Shane's cheek in agitation. "You're funny, but at the same time you're creepy, too" he joked.

"really? Are you afraid of me?"

Elara nodded. "Therefore I will obey your wishes."

Shane patted his eel now. "So you're following me out of fear of me not out of following the wishes of someone you love?"

Elara held back her laughing voice that almost escaped because of Shane's words.

"Answer, Lara!" shane urged. "Are you just afraid of me, not thinking about my feelings?"

Elara did not answer Shane's question, instead she tiptoed and cut the distance between them while holding both hands around the man's neck. Shane, who did not expect Elara to kiss him on the occasion, was only stunned when she felt his wife's soft lips begin to move.

As Shane was able to take control of the situation and wanted to return the kiss, Elara hurriedly pulled away, making Shane look at her with a look of protest.

Elara was about to laugh at Shane but was carried by the man into a sling.

"You must be punished for daring to play me!" shane said seriously but Elara was even chuckling in her position which was above Shane's hands.
