Love for the Heir's Wife

Chapter 44 - Scratches of the Past

The Mentari Kasih foundation office.

Elvira who was sitting on the sofa of her room seemed to contemplate, she was still thinking about how she could slander herself to further aggravate her relationship with her mother-in-law.

Not long after, Dara immediately entered his room with a tray with a cup containing drinks on it for Elvira.

“Excuse me, Ma'am,” said the young woman while putting the cup on the table.

“Iya, thank you.” Elvira spoke without looking at him.

“Bu Elvira is looking unwell, is Bu Elvira sick?” dara asked after paying more attention to the look of Elvira's face that looked lethargic full of burden.

She understood with what was new in the experience of her boss after the death of her husband not long ago will definitely feel very heavy.

“I'm fine.”

Dara immediately approached him and sat down.

“Bu.” The woman holding his hand made Elvira look at him.

“Yes? What are you doing?” Elvira was surprised to see Dara already resting at her feet.

“I want to say thank you to Mom, I am very happy to be working here. I was finally able to treat my sister regularly. I will not forget Bu Elvira's kindness towards me, I promise I will work hard and better. Thank you,” said.

“You don't need to do this.”

“Bu Elvira take care of health yes, do not get sick,” said Dara sounded attentive.

“Yes, thanks for your attention, I just feel a little dizzy,” said Elvira while massaging her forehead that felt tense because of a lot of thought.

“Mother wait here for a while yes,” pinta Dara, then she immediately out of the room.

Until not long later Dara returned to Elvira's room with a tensimeter device that he took from a health room in this office.

“Sini, let me check.” Dara immediately grabbed Elvira's hand to pair on the device and Elvira according to it.

“During working here, I also learned this one thing Bu.”

After waiting for a while, the results were visible and made Dara look at the numbers shown on the tool.

“Bu Elvira sleep less what how? Mother's blood pressure is quite high loh from the normal range.” Dara explained.

“Oh yes? Yes, he is. Lately I easily stress and think of many things.”

“Hmm, Miss Elvira do not think too much yes, I think it can affect health loh.”

“Iya, you are right.”

“If I usually manage stress with a healthy lifestyle, Mom. For example, like exercising, eating healthy, just doing all the things I like,”, said Dara explained as she now helped release the tool from the hands of Elvira.

“So yes?”

While watching Dara do so, Elvira accidentally saw there was some sort of scratch-like scar on Dara's arm that left her dumbfounded.

“From, sorry. In your hands?” Elvira was confused on how to ask her question.

“Oh this.” Dara immediately held the scratch to cover her hands.

“Actually, this is a scar that's been around for quite a while. In the past when I was very frustrated with my life, I tried to end my life, Mom,” he said which made Elvira very surprised.

“My teenage life was very unpleasant, in addition to my poor family, I also often received unpleasant treatment from friends at school. But apparently, God gave me a chance to live one more time, I can still be saved.”

Dara sighed while wiping away her tears that began to fall when she recalled them.

“That is why I realize how selfish I am while there are still people closest to me who love me very much. It turned out that all this time that made me feel unable to survive just because I was always focused on other things that hurt me without me paying attention to how people who love me,”

“We have our own stories when we have the hardest time in life,” said Elvira.

“But, a person like Bu Elvira what could possibly still have trouble in life? In a nutshell, the life that Bu Elvira has looks so perfect.”

“The look outside could have been different to the reality, Dara. But apart from that, I'm glad you could be fine until now.”

“Iya Ma'am, this scar always reminds me to continue to be grateful and appreciate how much my life means.”

“Wounds on such a physique may quickly heal as time goes by. But there may still be wounds in the heart that take a very long time and need a struggle to heal, such as trauma.”

“Bu Elvira seems to really understand me.”

“Sini, sit next to me,” invite Elvira. Dara complied immediately.

“My life is not as perfect as you imagine. I used to also get treatment similar to what you experienced in my teenage years,” said Elvira.

Although he was actually quite close to keeping this secret, but he felt it was okay to expose it to someone who had the same fate as himself in the past.

“What? Who would dare to do that?”

“Someone, I don't know where he is now,” said Elvira occasionally reminiscing about her past school days that were unpleasant because of someone.

“Because of him, I grew into a person who always looked at something based on price value. Something there must be a price, even if it is an insult from someone and it torments me for a long time.”

Elvira sighed pausing her words.

“I think I should be able to live with wealth and power in order to live happily and no one else can underestimate and hate me. But when I already have it all, it turns out I can not buy the happiness and views and attitudes of people who can not like me,” said Elvira with teary eyes.

While Dara was just stunned to listen to the speech from Elvira.

“I have to learn a lot from you to be able to appreciate my life more regardless of the views of others and focus more on the people who love me, thank you, yes,” words Elvira makes Dara just agree.

“I forgot, my warm tea was almost cold so,” Elvira said diverting the conversation.

“Then excuse me, Mom. Take care of your health, Mom. Don't think too hard. Remember, do the thing I like the most,” said Dara.

Elvira immediately drank her tea and thought for a moment that she had done things that she liked at that time such as shopping, watching until he went to the club to entertain himself but it was still not able to make himself feel better.

Now he is still thinking hard to throw various negative energies that enter his mind at this time. Suddenly something came to his mind, Elvira got up to pick up her bag and she left with her car.

“Alright, I'll try something else, let's start from something simple,” murmured while controlling the speed of the car in the middle of the crowded city streets.

Suddenly his phone rang. He saw a phone call from the Imam.

“Iya hello, Mr Imam?” answer Elvira.

“Mistress, I've done as per Mrs Elvira's request. I have also sent the results via message,” said Imam across the phone who had received a task from Elvira.

“Iya, thank you sir,” said Elvira.

“Sama-sama, Madam,” replied the Imam who was then seen just coming out of one of the doors of the room in the house of the Arkatama family.

While Elvira, after hanging up her phone connection she immediately checked her phone for a while and received a message, but the next second she put the object back because she still had to focus on driving.
