Marriage Wounds

8. Yuri Go

In the morning Yuri and Elijah prepare to leave the hotel and return to Yuri's parents' house. There was no talk of anything between the two from last night. They were like two strangers living in one room. Even sleep on each other's back without any first night ritual like a newlywed.

Although they had breakfast together and Elijah also took Yuri's clothes. Elijah is self-conscious if Yuri doesn't want him, so he chooses silence rather than mispronounce.

As long as they travel, they do not talk. Arriving at Yuri's parents' house they were greeted by Arthur's uncle, the chief servant.

"Welcome young master Yuri and Miss El." greet Arthur with a bow.

"Thank you uncle." Elijah answered with a smile.

"Uncle Arthur, please take him to the room!" yuri orders Arthur before he turns towards the car and leaves without saying goodbye.

"Okay young master, let's miss El." Arthur immediately went up the stairs, followed by Elijah, who was walking behind him.

Yuri's room was on the second floor while her parents' second room was on the lower floor.

"Please enter, miss, all the equipment and needs of the lady are inside."

"Thank you uncle."

"If miss needs something just say it, I'll prepare it later" Arthur said before leaving Yuri's room.

Elijah immediately went into Yuri's room which seemed very luxurious. How not luxurious, Yuri is the only child and abundant in wealth since childhood. There are not many photos of Yuri on display, only a few photos when Yuri was a child and when she graduated.

After putting the bag on the sofa, Elijah chose to sit on the balcony and enjoy the beauty of the flower garden below. He was confused about what to do because there was no college schedule.

Given his status in college, Elijah remembered that he had not brought clothes and also his college books. Elijah immediately got up and went out of the room to look for Arthur. Just as he was coming down the stairs, a servant approached him.

"Can I help you, miss? " ask the waiter very politely.

"Ah yes bi... Where is Uncle Arthur? " ask Elijah to the maid who looks the same age as Uncle Arthur.

"I'll call you a minute, miss."

"Yes bi, thank you."

Elijah did not have to wait long because five minutes after the servant left, Arthur seemed to come rushing to him.

"Can I help you, miss? " ask Arthur as soon as he gets in front of Elijah.

"Uncle.I just want to say if you want to go home to pick up clothes and books - college books."

Arthur smiled faintly at the young lady's request for permission.

"All the needs of the lady have been prepared on the walk in closet. For books - college books let the driver take it."

"It's been prepared? " ask Elijah with a confused face.

"Young lady, big lady has prepared all the needs of young lady from a few days ago."

"grandmother.... " Elia called Feodora a light with eyes slightly glazed - glass because it felt moved. It's impossible if Yuri provides it, right? Remembering that, Elijah smiled wryly.

"Is there anything else that Miss needs? " ask Arthur after seeing Elijah pensive.

"Can uncle just call me El?" pinta Elijah with a pleading face.

"All right El."

"Thank you uncle. But let me take the books at home, uncle."

"There's no need to go between uncles because I'll take my car with me."

Arthur is not out of thought with his young lady, in the garage there are many cars and there is a driver who is ready to take him anywhere. But this young lady seemed to have no interest at all.

Finally, after some consideration, Arthur allows Elijah to return to Mateo's house on condition that he be among the drivers. Arthur also drove Elijah to the car and told him that before dinner Elijah had returned.

Not long after Elijah left was seen Yuri's car entering the courtyard. Yuri who was not using the driver immediately got down and hurriedly entered the house.

"Uncle, please prepare my suitcase right now!" yuri's orders to Arthur.

"Where is the young man going?"

"Go back to Russia."

"But miss mud... "

"I went by myself uncle." said Yuri cut off Arthur's words without even listening to what Arthur was going to say.

Without speaking again Arthur immediately went into Yuri's room and packed the clothes that Yuri was about to bring.

"Young lady is coming home to pick up a college book" Arthur said, closing Yuri's suitcase. "Did the young master not want to wait for him? "

"No" Yuri replied as she walked out of the room following Arthur who was dragging the suitcase behind her.

Without a word Yuri immediately ordered the driver who was always ready to take his master to leave immediately. He just glanced at the balcony of his room. Arthur who let go of Yuri can only stroke the chest.

"Hopefully you will not regret the young master" said Arthur lirih. In his heart Arthur felt sad and sorry for the fate of Elijah. He rarely met the girl but given his way of life Arthur loved Elijah very much.

Meanwhile Elijah who came home and just arrived greeted with a confused face Lucia.

"Darling? "

Elijah smiled as he hugged his mother tightly, he knew his mother must have thought no.

"El wants to take the books - the lecture ma." whispered Elijah who made Lucia calm.

"Why not take Yuri? "

"Sir Yuri's got some important business, ma, so El's on the driver's side."

"But... "

"El go to the room first ma." Elijah soon passed for fear of Lucia asking further.

Elijah went into his room and picked out the books he was going to bring. Not to forget he also packed some clothes and shoes as well as a bag. Although according to Arthur all his needs have been available but somehow in his heart he felt uncomfortable.

Lucia who was going to her private room decided to go to Elijah's room first. "Darling... Can you come in? " ask Lucia after knocking on the door.

"Come in." reply Elijah from the room.

Lucia immediately opened the door and entered. He chose to sit on the bed while watching Elijah who was busy packing things. Seeing Elijah about to leave the house made Lucia's heart sad, even though she had let Elijah get married and join her husband's family. But in the deepest corner of his heart he felt lost.

Elijah was not born from his womb, but from the baby he took care of it with all his heart. The affection he gave was the same as the one he gave Sky and Rain.

"May happiness always be with you dear."
