Today was exactly three days after the incident Ellard cut ties with Violla. The man no longer paid any attention or the gaze he had once given to Violla. Ellard became an indifferent man in front of the woman who had the status of his former friend.
Three days later Dara also did not ask Ellard again about the drawer beside the bed. Because when he tried to open it the drawer was no longer locked, and there was nothing strange in it. There was only the man's wallet, vape and cell phone, making Dara no longer suspect and negative thinking of her husband.
"Ell want to wear this tie or this one?." Dara asked while showing two ties, one patterned with a line and the other with a small round pattern.
"Whatever." Ellard answered, buttoning his shirt, the man looking in the mirror without taking his eyes off as Dara spoke to him.
Dara only sighed, these three days Ellard also looked more reserved than usual. There was no prohibition, whining, or order from the man that Dara always heard every day.
Dara took one of the blue ties patterned with silver lines then draped it around Ellard's neck and made a tie knot. The man was still busy with his shirt wrist buttons.
"It." Dara smiled and lowered her hand.
Ellard gave a small nod then put on her suit, "Let's go down." His words got a nod to Dara's head.
Look once again no kisses, kisses, or sweet words Ellard uttered. Dara had already felt this from three days ago, but to ask she was still hesitant. Because Ellard's attitude has been a little different lately, the man scolded the waitress yesterday just because she accidentally poured him a glass of juice when Ellard asked for coffee. Strangely enough, he saw Ellard yelling at Adam just because the old man got rid of the files that Ellard hadn't finished in his study.
Dara once asked once but the man's answer kept her quiet.
The flashback
"Ell do you have a problem? I've seen lately you've been getting angry." Dara asked as she walked up to Ellard who was sitting on the sofa of the room while doing her office work.
"Dear." Call Dara once again when you don't get an answer from the man.
"Can you not ask too many questions? I'm doing a lot of work." Ellard replied without taking his eyes off the laptop in front of him.
Dara who heard Ellard's reply instantly stopped her steps as she was about to approach the man.
"All right." Dara replied slowly then turned to walk towards the bed and laid her body there, pulled the blanket to the neck and closed her eyes tightly.
Ellard was still in her place without caring for Dara.
Flashback off
Ellard and Dara came out of the elevator together, their hands not clinging to each other as usual. Dara who had gotten used to these three days was just silent, not wanting to anger this man anymore. He felt Ellard was very sensitive and very irritable, maybe if only an ant had bitten Ellard would have cut it into pieces.
"Good morning Ellard." Violla came from the direction of the hallway of her room directly embracing Ellard's friendly arm, as if there was no one but the two of them there.
And this again, the woman had already begun to show her fangs, Violla even blatantly approached Ellard in front of her as if she was just an inanimate object that had no feelings.
Fortunately Ellard always avoids this demonic human behavior.
"Deliver!." Ellard jerked violently Violla's hand then turned to pull Dara's hand behind their bodies.
Previously Dara was surprised and shocked to see Ellard's change in the originally good Violla to be this cold. Likewise with Violla who originally only showed her true face to herself now the woman began to cross the line. Not even reluctant to tell Violla if the woman wants to be her honeymoon, is he crazy? thought Dara had not expected if it was the graceful woman Violla he had once admired in the blink of an eye.
The three of them arrived at the table, where at the end of the table there was Darren who calmly ate his food.
Ellard let go of Dara's hand telling her to sit down, and then the man sat himself down. While Violla sat next to Dara with a sour face. The servants began to prepare breakfast for the three people who had just arrived.
They all ate quietly before a commotion arose,
Prunes
One of the waiters accidentally nudged a glass of water beside Dara to make the glass glass was broken into pieces.
"Ma.af...no-na, s-me-."
Brakkk
"Can't you work well!!." Ellard stood up as he walked over the dinner table, and pointed angrily at the servant who was bowing his head.
The body of the servant Ellard snapped at instantly trembled in fear, both of his knees were squeezed, even his face started to turn deathly pale like a corpse.
"Clean fast!!!." The impact again, with the breath hunting.
Dara who saw it instantly got up from her seat trying to calm Ellard down, the man was really terrible while being angry.
"Sit there, Dara! don't try to walk." Ellard's loud speech made Dara spontaneously sit down again.
Ellard's fierce clash made one corner of Violla's lips lift. It was great that the woman felt as Dara was frightened by Ellard's bad behavior. But Ellard's next remark made the smile fade and be replaced with a wry face.
"What are you waiting for!!! quickly clean! do you want my wife to get hurt by that shard of glass?!." His impact made the waiter crouch down and pick up some broken glass.
"Darling......" Dara said slowly, she felt sorry for the frightened female servant while picking up the broken glass on the floor, even when his hand was injured the servant looked as if he did not care or did not feel pain from being too scared? thought Dara pity.
Dara glanced at Darren, his father-in-law was not at all disturbed by Ellard's attitude. Even Darren calmly wiped his lips using a cloth then stood up from his seat. Without saying anything the old man left the dining table.
If you look around, it's not only Ellard who has been acting strange lately, even Darren as well and that adds to the question in Dara's mind. Why the hell are those two guys? thought.
"I'm leaving Dara, there's no need to take me and don't stand before the floor is clean! understood?!." Ellard asked in a repressive voice, even if heard it was like a threat.
Dara looked at Ellard who was already invisible from her sight and then crouched down.
"Already, do not clean using hands like this. Look at your hand getting hurt, right?." Dara's words forced the maid to put back the glass in her hand.
"Miss-." Adam's Call.
"Uncle Adam, can you please clean this up? and treat the wound." Pinta Dara cut Adam's words, after all she knew what he was going to say.
"Okay, miss, you better get out of this broken glass first. If the young master sees you, he can be very angry." Adam said even the old man's face looked sweaty.
"Good uncle." Said Dara while standing up, he saw the gaze of the maid as if to thank her but her face was still implied by deep fear.
"It's okay, forgive Ellard's attitude earlier." Dara said to the waiter and then she stepped out of there.
"Sok good, you cheap shit." Violla said as she stuffed the fries into her mouth.
Dara did not serve the woman's words, she preferred to leave the dining table.
****
Dara sat in the middle room while daydreaming to see a large window glass featuring small specks of snow falling to accumulate on the ground.
"Are you busy?." Tanya Violla then sat down beside Dara.
Dara looked at Violla and then she turned to look ahead again, definitely only bothering her again thought Dara.
"Well, do you feel like Ellard's been ignoring you lately?." Violla asked withholding her smile, knowing that she was always watching and seeing Ellard wherever he was in the room.
He knew what was causing Ellard to change, and it would certainly be very exciting if there was chili powder, said Violla, smiling slylyly.
Dara looked at Violla as she felt that sentence slightly offended her, "Ellard didn't ignore me." Honestly, Ellard never ignored him only the man became a little quieter than usual.
"I know Dara, there's no need to cover it anymore. Maybe Ellard's getting tired of playing with you. Dara listen, this is a rich guy's game, you think a guy like Ellard who has anything in any way really marries you out of love?." Tanya Violla then laughed to herself.
"Bullshit, only fools think that way. Ellard can even choose a woman whose level is much higher than yours. He has a handsome face, a well-established career, and a large clan. Is it appropriate for a perfect man to choose you to be his only woman? come on Dara this is New York, we used to live free here." Obviously Violla, makes Dara pensive.
"How did Ellard tell you his past?." Violla asked again to wake up Dara's daydream.
Dara seemed to be thinking, he remembered Ellard had told him a little about his past. Yes Ellard told her once, thought Dara.
"Ell-." Dara's words were cut off by Violla's sudden speech.
"Ellard didn't tell you everything, did he? how was his life journey? how did his mother leave him? and how did Ellard's story go back to being hated by his own father, Lord Darren Levon?." Violla asked as she folded her hands over her chest.
Dara was silent however what Violla said was true, Ellard never told her in detail all that. But wait a minute! the outline of the story Ellard Dara already knows, why Mr. Darren hates Ellard first and why Ell does not have a mother but for the journey of life Ellard Dara may only know a little.
Dara smiled as she nodded her head briefly, believing that her husband was not what this woman beside her was talking about.
Violla who saw Dara smiling added annoyed, she thought that Ellard had really told her that far with this woman? thought upset.
"Do you know what Ellard's birthday is?." Violla asked withstanding her sense of regret with all her might.
Dara was silent, making a faint smile at Violla's lips.
So he doesn't know yet?. Inner Violla while holding her smile.
"Did Ellard not tell you that little thing?." He asked with a surprised face.
"Year of the year?." Dara asked while trying to remember something, like something was wrong with it.
"Yes, ah so Ellard didn't tell you huh? how can you be the woman he loves the most if his birthday just doesn't remember." Cibir Violla with a mocking tone.
"You know Ellard doesn't like it the most when the people closest to him forget the most important day for him." Violla said pulling one corner of her lips.
"When is Ellard's birthday?." Dara's question made Violla smile with satisfaction.
"Tomorrow." Violla answered, surprising Dara.
"really?." Ask Dara to make sure.
"Yes, do you really not know? how sad, are you his wife or not? like that don't know, I've just prepared a present for him." Said Violla then leaving Dara sitting there still.
What gift should I give him?. Ask Dara in my heart.
Seriate.....
