Love of the Past

Can Still Avoid

Eldar was surprised to see Kintan coming. He is not afraid of Kintan, but he does not want Kintan to see him with Neva before his status with Kintan is clear.

"Why do you know I'm here? You followed me on purpose, didn't you?" asked Eldar without hiding his dislike for Kintan's presence.

"It's not so, honey. I....!"

"What's? Are you getting possessive with me? I don't want to be like this Kintan. Can't I have privacy? I've been feeling lately that you've been deliberately following me?" Eldar deliberately raised his tone so that Neva who was in the room heard his voice.

"Mom.not that, El. I just feel like you're getting further away."

"Kintan, didn't I say, give me time with all this busyness of mine. We're not married yet and your attitude has been like this to me? I don't like it!" Eldar is getting emotional. This attitude is not made up. He did not want if Kintan was too possessive and wanted to always know about Eldar.

Kintan. He did not expect that Eldar would be this angry. Shouldn't he be the one who came and got angry at Eldar for deliberately canceling their dinner.

"I just want to know why you canceled our dinner appointment, El." Kintan almost cried.

"And you don't believe the reason I gave you? Yes already if you do not believe, we should just end this conversation" said Eldar firmly make Kintan want to faint like it. He immediately grabbed Eldar's arm and held it tightly.

"El, don't think so. Ii'm sorry. I don't mean to limit your space. I'm just afraid if there's another woman. Don't break up our relationship, honey."

Eldar took a deep breath. He looked at Kintan. "Go! I got a lot of work today."

"El, you want to forgive me, right?" kintan whinek.

"Yes. But I want to be alone right now. May it?"

"But we'll have dinner again if you're not busy, right?"

"Yes. We'll have dinner and we'll talk."

Kintan kissed Eldar's cheek. "All right, I'm going."

Eldar led Kintan to the door. I saw the white car. He does not recognize Neva cars because during work, Neva always uses company cars. Kintan was suspicious of the existence of the car. But he thought it was Rangga's car.

After making sure Kintan had left, Eldar closed the gate and returned to the house.

Neva's out of the room. He had felt tense when he heard Kintan's voice. Fortunately, Rangga had sent him a message and asked Neva not to leave the room.

Rangga himself is currently in the workspace. He won't bother Eldar and Neva.

"Cintan's gone?" ask Neva.

"Yes. Let's have breakfast!" take Eldar while pulling the dining chair for Neva to sit down.

"El, I feel bad about Kintan. Poor him. Why didn't you tell me you had a dinner appointment?" Neva said after sitting down.

"I'll leave my dinner appointment even with the president if it's your safety." Eldar sat beside Neva. "You know that I would do anything for you."

Neva started putting food in her mouth. "El, Kintan loves you so much."

"And I love you so much."

"El, I don't want to hurt Kintan."

"And I also don't want to make you hurt and suffer anymore."

"El, please....!"

Eldar grabbed both hands of Neva. "Stop thinking about other people's feelings. When will you think about your own feelings?"

"El, don't make me feel guilty for anyone else. You guys are in touch anyway....." Neva stopped her sentence as Eldar's eyes glared at her.

"Who told you about my relationship with Kintan? Is Kintan?"

"Mom.not. The Gita says that you are close and often sleep together. I'd be sorry if you weren't married. Don't let another man insult Kintan because he's sleeping with you, El."

Eldar closed his eyes. He believes that Kintan has already told Neva.

"But no matter how you're with him, El. You can't just let him."

Eldar finished his breakfast. Neva did the same. Eldar turned the chair that Neva was sitting in so that the two of them were now facing each other. "Eva, I love you. I can't marry Kintan because I don't love him. Wouldn't it hurt more if Kintan suffered after marrying me? I want to marry you, Ev."

"El, don't hurt Kintan. You should marry him. Your parents will be very disappointed in you."

"Then will you make my life unhappy by marrying a woman I don't love?"

"But Kintan loves you so much, El. You'll be happy with her."

"I'll marry Kintan, as long as you want to marry me."

"That's a crazy idea, El. Kintan definitely doesn't want to be polygamous and I don't want to."

Eldar releases Neva's hand. "Yes already. I can't marry you, I don't want to marry Kintan. Let the three of us suffer."

Neva looked at Eldar who had entered the room. He wanted to protest but Neva realized that he was almost late to the site of the activities.

"Neva saw a paper bag on the table. When she saw it, it was a woman's dress. Neva believes it's a shirt for her. He looked for another room to change his clothes.

"Wear this car" Eldar said as they exited and a man had just delivered another car.

Neva surprised. "Why is this car, El?"

"Because your car will be temporarily worn by one of my men. We'll see if you'll be followed again or not." replied Eldar.

"But this is a new car, El."

"Indeed. This car is registered in my company name. So you're safe to drive it. This car has a more sophisticated security system than your car" Eldar said and opened the door. "Come in. Rangga and I will ride in my car."

A little hesitant, Neva got into the car. He left immediately because Lorry's mother had called him.

When the three cars left the yard of Rangga's house, a man who had been lurking there immediately sent a message to someone.

********

Neva is surprised to see Elif's mistress coming to see him at the office.

"Mrs Elif, what's wrong?"

"I want to know how my children's event preparation developed" Elif said in an elegant and slightly haughty style, sitting before Neva. He was amazed to see the interior in Neva's work room. The design of the room is also very good.

"For Ms. Gina, it's about 45% complete. But for Mr. Eldar, just his wedding dress. You see what the concept is like, Mr. Eldar has not told."

Elif was upset. "I was confused by my firstborn. She always wanted to postpone her marriage. I got dizzy from making it. Pity the same Kintan who loved her so much."

"Maybe it's because Mr. Eldar is very busy with his work."

"That's possible. Anyway I want you guys to just prepare the concept as I said back then. I think Eldar has spoken to you. Yes, already then. I'll go first." Elif stand. His eyes looked at a university emblem that was on Neva's desk. "Who's a graduate of Sidney University?"

"I."

"Oh yeah? Have you never known Eldar before? My son was previously the chairman of the Indonesian student association in Sidney."

"Eh ...., I actually never joined a student organization because my focus was on learning to keep my scholarship from being dropped."

"Oh ...so is it?" Elif was astonished by Neva's explanation. But the woman did not want to dig deeper information because she knew that it was not her business. He also left. But while in the car, Elif recalled, where had he seen Neva? Then he contacted someone.

"Hallo, did you still have pictures of my son with his girlfriend in Sidney back then? Send it to me, will you? I need it now." Elif asked his driver to run his car immediately while he kept remembering where he had seen Neva.

Does Elif know that Neva is Eldar's ex-girlfriend?
