Love of the Past

Elif's Regret

Eldar's hand pressed the remote control in his hand. The gate opened and Neva was surprised to see a white mansion. The two-story house looks magnificent with a concept like houses in Europe.

"Mas, whose house is this?" ask Neva.

Eldar did not answer. He got out of the car and opened the door for his wife.

"Let's go in, baby.....!" bring Eldar.

"But, um, tell me whose house this is?"

Eldar once again did not answer Neva's question. He only gently pulled his wife's right hand so that Neva followed in his footsteps. When the front door opened, Neva was surprised to see a not-so-large living room. Enough to hold about 10 people. Neva's eyes immediately looked up at the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was there that Eldar declared his love for Neva.

"B.....!" Neva looked at her husband. Eldar only smiled as he nodded. He then took Nev to the next room. The living room is larger and Neva's eyes stare at a jumbo-sized photograph. Wedding photo with Eldar. Wedding without reception.

Neva's tears fell when she saw the wedding photo. In the wedding photo, there is a closet that contains the top of the picture frames measuring 5R. Photos of them in Sidney. Neva did not expect that Eldar still kept it. When entering the family room, Neva saw there were photos of her graduation and also Eldar. A photo that remembers both of their struggles. Eldar works at a construction company and Neva works part-time at a cafe.

After walking through the kitchen and dining room, Eldar took Neva to the second floor. On the first floor there are 2 guest rooms, while on the second floor, there are 3 rooms with 1 main room which is very large.

"Mas, do you still remember the concept of the house we talked about in Sidney?" Neva remembers, he and Eldar had drawn a house that they would later make when they were married. Neva still remembers the concept of the bathroom and walk in closet which is separate from the bedroom. For Neva, the bedroom should look clean and hygienic so it should be separate. When opening the room door, there is a room where shoes and briefcases are stored. After that there is a bathroom door adjacent to the walk in closet room, then after that there is a door to the room of their bed.

"Anything about you, I'll never forget. I used to hate you so much for believing that you were gone with another man, but I can't throw away all the memories we've been through together. To me, love for you is more than anything in the world." Eldar stroked Neva's face. "Now there is no more barrier between us. We'll step together in front of everyone to show them that we have each other."

Neva's tears fell back. He hugged Eldar while crying. "Mas..., I love you!"

"I love you more, baby."

As their arms unraveled, Eldar kissed his wife's thin lips. The two kissed with deep love in their hearts.

"Mas...my back!" As the kiss grew hotter, Neva recalled the state of her injured back. He immediately broke away.

Eldar sighed in annoyance but he immediately smiled. "I'm sorry about your overly perverted husband, honey. It's been 5 days that we haven't been with all the tension. So I want to spend some time having sex with you. Honestly, I miss our crazy union."

Neva chuckles. She caressed the handsome face of her husband. "Prophey yes, my. I cannot serve you to the fullest. Or do I want to be satisfied in another way?" neva asked with a seductive look.

"No, honey. I don't want to get my own satisfaction while my wife doesn't. Even if it's heavy, I'll wait until you're fully recovered."

The two embrace again. It was like releasing a heavy load that was on his shoulders. Neva is ready to step up with Eldar.

"Erdogan was arrested at the airport before he escaped. Now he has to take responsibility for his actions. He hired the two men to kidnap Neva's mistress" Rangga said.

Eldar who was reading some reports immediately looked at Rangga. "Goodoo. Their crimes against my wife must be punished severely."

"So eating, Miss Kintan has been transferred to a mental hospital."

"Why?"

"She was depressed and embarrassed about getting pregnant out of wedlock. She was also severely blasphemed as a cheap woman. He tried to harm himself by cutting off his veins."

Eldar took a deep breath. "Actually it was very sad to hear the Nasip Kintan. He was my friend since childhood. But how else? He bears the consequences of his own actions. Thankfully, Erdogan was arrested."

"Oh yes, sir, outside there is Lady Elif, she asked permission to meet with the master."

Eldar. "I don't want to see him."

Eldar threw his face away when he saw his mother. Rangga went straight out.

"Son....!"

"What does mom want? Want to take over this company because mommy shares are just as much as mine? Please! What Papi said before his death is true. My mom is someone who likes to manipulate others. Mommy firmly told people to harm me."

"El, my mother did not ask Erdogan to harm you. Mami just asked that you be separated from Neva."

"Why? Because he's just a maid's son? Mami was so proud about the treasure and the throne, then what did Kintan do? She cheated on him with a man who became his lover. It's pathetic."

"Mommy's sorry, El."

"Mommy's regret is pointless. My mom hurt my heart."

"El....!"

"Please get out because I'm doing a lot of work."

"El.....!"

"Come ...!"

Elif's tears fell without her being held back. He came out when he saw the anger on his son's face. But before he grabbed the doorknob, Eldar said a sentence that made Elif more hurt.

"Before the death of papi, papi actually already know that the heart of mami has been divided with others. Papi knew that he was wrong because he behaved just like a mother. But what you have to know is, papi loves you very much. She never betrayed her mother with her secretary. His relationship with the secretary was only limited to papi's responsibility to the child. The boy was there because papi raped his secretary because he was drunk. But all that papi hide for keeping the good name of the woman who once harassed it."

Elif rushed out of her son's room. The truth about her new husband she knew now made her cry.

Elif drove her car to her husband's grave. "Mas, I'm sorry....! I thought that you never loved me." Elif spilled a million regrets she felt by crying over her husband's belly button. If she could turn back the time, Elif would definitely build a relationship with her husband for the better. But his pride as a woman born to a rich and honorable family, Elif did not accept when he heard that Eldar was dating the son of a maid. He did everything he could to separate Eldar from the girl. Without knowing that girl is the happiness of Eldar.

***********

Neva went into her husband's office. "Mas, am I interrupting?"

Eldar looked at his wife. "You never bothered me, baby."

Neva approached and sat on the lap of the husband.

"What did the doctor say about your back?"

"The wound is drying out."

"Did the doctor say you could move....?"

Neva chuckles. She put her hand around her husband's neck. "Sabar. One more week. Now, I want to take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"Philippines."

How was the meeting of father, mother and son?
