Ellen

67

His heart almost jumped from the spot with the view in front of him.

A sight that amazed Ellena. The bookshelves filled this room. High shelves covered every wall, not knowing what color the wall paint was.

There's no one.

Yeah, just Leo and Ellena.

"Assalamallaikum. Arsysid"

There was no answer, Ellena was getting confused.

Suddenly the high shelf on his right side shifted, revealing a man of the same age as his stepfather, Reynald Lopez.

Ellena blinked her eyes, the shape of her face, the color of her irises and hair were the same as Ellena's.

Ellena was increasingly shocked when she saw the state of the father, not sad but far from the word. An expensive suit is attached to his body and his body is still fresh fit.

Is this his father, then who's grave he visited first?

"Mrs. Arsid?"

"Yes, is this mr. Dominic?"

"Right, just call Leo, I'm much younger than you sir"

"Well, this...?"

"Ellena, Ellena Lopez"

The man was petrified, his heart felt stopped when he heard the name Ellena had changed with another clan.

"Ellena Lopez or Ellena Arsyid?"

"In the legal mail all named Ellena Lopez"

"Let's sit down first, let my work make you drink"

"Thank you mr. Arsysid"

Ellena is still tight-lipped. Between longing and anger.

"Ellena, don't want to say anything?"

Ellena turned to Leo, and turned to look at him instead. Arsyd. He then closed his eyes. Head dizzy.

"Why? Why are you all lying?"

Mr. Arsyid replace silent. Ellena deserves to know, right?

"I'm forced to go Ellena, I have to go, your life's at stake."

"You mean?"

"The night of the accident did happen, brake blong. But I've been checking on him, so the accident was dad's new driver down the road before the big truck hit the car"

"Why?"

"Because your mama found Reynald who was so much more everything than me, all this time I've been watching you, but baby when your mama married Reynald.. Reynald knew of my whereabouts and blocked me from England but he promised to take care of you"

"He's taking care of me"

"Thank God"

"Dad didn't want to ask, I remember what dad did?"

"Dad knows"

"Not to miss Ell"

"All..."

"Don't you find Ell all this time, even if Ell's gone anywhere!"

"Dad can't"

"Why?"

"Dad sud...."

"Ayaahh.. I got the Olympic champion of science lag today.ups sorry dad I didn't know there were guests"

A girl in a high school uniform, Ellena was dumbfounded. This girl cloned her father.

"I know, I'm sorry Mr. Arsyid, I'm presumptuous"

Ellena immediately stood up, and was followed by Leo. Ellena was begging for affection for her own father.

"Do you want no explanation?"

"No need mister, there's still a daddy who will want to explain to me"

"Ellena Lopez's.."

Ellena smiled bitterly, her father who she expected apparently also called her name with the surname Lopez.

"You're wrong sir. My clan is Russell, I say goodbye first, come Leo"

"Come..."

The girl stupefied. Who is this woman? Why does it look so similar to his father, but he's like mixed blood.

Ellena was ready to go down the stairs, before all the memories in her brain just kept spinning like a tangled cassette. Ellena staggered, if Leo hadn't caught her she might have fallen down the stairs.

"Ell.. are you okay?"

"Leo.. I want to go home!"

Ellena held Leo's body while crying. All those bitter memories revolved again.

"All..."

"That dream of yours?"

"I don't want to! Leo.what's wrong I want happiness!"

"Well, let's go, we'll get our wedding ready"

"I don't want to have Lopez, Rusell or Arsyid, Leo! They hurt me"

"I know, your margin is just dominic!"

Ellena fainted in Leo's arms. Leo felt so guilty bringing Ellena here.

Without realizing it, behind the door Arsyid and his daughter heard everything.

"He..?"

"Your brother.."

"Why don't you respond fast? Poor brother!"

"Fatimah, this problem can't be solved just like that"

"Then what? You have to wait for Ellena's sister to go again with the witch?"

"Fatimah?"

"Dad, Fatimah knows that this Fatimah is not the father's biological child, but please don't protect the responsibility of the father to me, the father forgets the father's own son"

" the late Arsya, the great father! Educate you so well! I'll fix everything"

"Good! Who is that guy, he's handsome!"

"Don't just talk, he's almost four heads, and has two kids!"

"I'm just asking! I thought it was only in his early thirties!"

"Don't joke Fatimah! Finish your hadith memorization!"

"Good dad"

Fatimah was the son of Arsya, Arsyid's twin brother. She died when Fatimah was in the second grade of junior high school, while her mother died giving birth to her. So Fatimah's custody was taken by Arsyid. At that time, Lopez's family banned her from seeing Ellena.

On the other hand, Leo had brought Ellena to rest in the apartment she had bought first. Still maintained even though it is only simple and quite narrow.

Ellena had been lying in bed for 2 hours, but there was no sign of waking up.

"The doctor said it was just exhaustion and shock, why all this time?"

Eventually Leo decided to order food and check his work.

Leo has to get everything ready, he doesn't want to push back on his marriage.

Leo contacts Liam and Roy to deliver the dress that Ellena and herself are going to wear to Turkey, her old apartment.

Then contact Ello, informing them that they will be home one more week because they will look for the marriage certificate of Ellena and Leo in Turkey.

Ello just assented. After all, there was no father and mother, she became free to do any training. His grandfather gave freedom to Ello and a little hard on Ella, because Ella's nature is a little bar bar so it must be disciplined.

Leo struggled with his laptop to catch up with the project deadline. Although there are Liam and Roy, but this still has to be checked. Leo believed in the two men but did not believe in the other hand. Thanks to this vigilance he can be this successful.

"Leo..."

Leo turned his head as one called out to him in a typical hoarse voice just waking up. That's Ellena, she just woke up.

"Awake? Comehere"

Ellena with her bare feet immediately headed for Leo, and sat down beside the man. And leaned his head against Leo's boat.

"Again what?"

"Just do something, and your dress and tuxedoku will be sent here..."

"Emmm... Papa didn't call you?"

"Why? He's coming, just relax"

"But..."

"What's? Your father hasn't explained anything, don't speculate himself"

"I know. I'm hungry"

"Let's eat, I've ordered pasta"

"Emmm..."

Leo led Ellena to the pantry table and sat her down there, two servings of pasta and orange juice. Yes, Leo has not drank wine or other alcoholic beverages for a long time.

"Orange juices are good for the body"

"I know..."

"Tomorrow we get married in a blue masjd huh"

"Blue mosque?"

"You'll know tomorrow when you get there..."

"Emmm. Thank you Leo"

"Don't be too quick to say thank you, there are still many moments we haven't missed so don't say that just now"

"Emmm okay..."
