They cut the streets in the hot sun. Hans didn't feel the heat coming through his jacket. He felt comfortable with both of Elena's hands coiling around her waist. He glanced at the reddened hand and decided to go to the clinic of one of his friends.
"Hans, where are we going?"
"In the meantime, we're gonna have to treat your hands, man,"
"It's okay. I have the cure. Come back," take Elena. But Hans remained insistent and parked his motorbike in the courtyard of one of the clinics.
"It's got to be treated" Hans said pulling Elena's hand.
"What's wrong, tomorrow's gonna heal,"
"It came about because it worked at my uncle's place. And I feel like there must be compensation,"
"But I broke the plate!"
"And the reason is because of this. If this doesn't appear you won't break the plate. Come on, let's treat it first," Hans pulled Elena's wrist in and was careful not to touch her reddened hand. She was afraid that Elena was in pain.
After treatment Hans did not immediately bring Elena home, but invited her to eat because at the restaurant they had not had time to eat. That's not good to work at the resto. At mealtime they must resist hunger and be ready to serve a variety of foods ordered. Once they are deserted, they can rest and eat.
"Then get me home" asked Elena.
"No, you must accompany me,"
"Hey, this is called coercion,"
"No! Think of it as changing your holiday hours, 2 days," Hans replied finishing his meal.
"It shouldn't go into work,"
"Who said? This includes work. You have to compensate for my longing when you're off. It's not worth it" Hans said blinking one eye.
"Don't tease me, Master Chef! Eh but I'm confused, why am I put off for 2 days? I should've put in more hours,"
"Maybe my uncle has his own considerations. And I beg you, forgive my uncle if he's fierce,"
"What's wrong, he won't be angry if I don't make a mistake. I need to fix my schedule" said Elena. Hans smilingly looked at her making Elena misbehave.
After eating Hans forced him to watch in the cinema. They enjoyed the comedy Hans chose.
"I feel like I want time to stop for a while" whispered Hans
"Why?" ask Elena.
"I want us to continue like this" Hans said. Elena did not respond and continued to watch the screen in front of her.
Hans peeked at Elena's cheek making the girl blush shyly and a little angry. But this time he forgave Hans because they were in a public place.
After watching, Elena forced to go home. To be honest, he started to get uncomfortable with Hans beside him. Finally Hans relented and drove Elena home.
If you're honest, Elena doesn't really have the slightest taste for Hans. He considers Hans to be his own brother. He knew Hans wasn't like him, Hans had feelings for Elena. Several times he indirectly said it but Elena pretended not to know. He was afraid that when he refused, they would be awkward.
The longer Hans showed his feelings. Elena wanted to avoid it but couldn't. He still needs a job there. Maybe if he gets a job somewhere else, he'll quit Gala's restaurant.
Arriving at home, Elena cleaned herself up. Then he met his mother in the kitchen. That great lady is cooking for dinner. It helps to cut vegetables.
"Tumben helped cook," seduced his mother.
"Ehehehe. want to help, ma'am, "
"What's wrong?" asked his mother while stirring the cauldron.
Elena told me everything that happened at her workplace as well about Hans taking her to the clinic.
"Elen, you're an adult. It doesn't matter if you start getting close to men,"
"But ma'am, Elen's not ready. Elen wants to go to college, first,"
"Lecture can be any time, if marriage and having children there is an expiration period. But I didn't mean you to hurry. Just getting to know each other, too, is okay,"
"Let's go ma'am, if his soul mate will also come alone, " replied Elena.
The night after eating, Elena went into her room. The narrow room that only fit a wardrobe, a bed and a small study table is the most comfortable place. Elena is good at arranging things even though in a narrow place it can be neatly arranged and look attractive.
In this cramped room, his mind could pierce through anywhere. A lot of things he thought. About his life, his work and his past. Elena thought about her past. He was dating a school friend. Name's Eldric. His people are very talented. They were reunited at the breakup, continuing after graduation. And finally Eldric introduced her to her parents and that's where Elena got the bad treatment. Then Elena asked them for their own path. The Eldric family was a wealthy and distinguished family, very much different from his humble family.
Moments after they broke up, Eldric was still trying to contact her but Elena deliberately ignored him. And finally Eldric gave up and they no longer communicated even though Elena could still see the status of whattsap Eldric. So far it has not been seen if Eldric already has a girlfriend. Not GR but in Elena's heart she was happy that Eldric still loved her.
When she woke up, Elena shook her head. A figure like Eldric is very easy to get a girlfriend. Has a handsome face, clean skin and from a rich and distinguished family. Businesswoman. Even Eldric could hold women in the class of models and even artists.
While Elena? I don't know how his life will be. What kind of man will stand with him. Most importantly the man is good, responsible and loyal is already his criterion. Wishing someone like Eldric would go with her was impossible.
Before long Hana called him, they were engrossed in telling him about many things to make Elena cheerful and laugh again. Hana is his best friend. A friend who understands himself. A friend who was always there when Elena wasn't okay.
After Hana calls, Hans sends her a message that Elena ignores. He was maintaining his heart to not be too comfortable with the man's kindness. He does not want the past to repeat itself with Hans. Hans is quite someone like a brother, where he tells stories only about work. The rest he prefers Hana. He didn't want to be someone who gave Hans hope. Hans deserves someone better and on par with him. Elena will be happy if Hans soon finds a mooring and gets married.
Elena smiled but a drop of her tears slid from the corner of her eyes. I don't know what made her tears come out. He convinced her not to fall into Hans' charm. He pressed his chest firmly while hugging the bolster. He closed his eyes and hoped to fall asleep soon.
