Naughty Sugar's
[39] It's not yet time
MAX POVS
3 Years later.
I saw Elena sitting on the balcony of our room. Sometimes he sipped his tea and sighed to himself.
“Sugar,” call me and she turns her body towards me.
“You're home?” tanyanya put down her tea cup and helped me take off my suit.
He stole a kiss on my lips with a forced smile. I know what he's been thinking lately and it's saddened me that we've been trying for almost two years, but not once has God given me permission to be a father.
“Max,” Elena gave me a letter that I know what it is because without even reading it I can see from the look on Elena's face.
“Is this my karma,” said Elena suddenly sitting at the end of the bed making me reluctant to open this letter.
“Hiks, hiks, I'm sorry to you because once in a while I've done’a not to have children first. I-I was too selfish with my ambition to have a business. Even I was too busy and could not take care of my health. It's all my fault,” he said making me sad to hear what he said.
Slowly I sat by her side and hugged Elena very tightly. Calm it as it has been.
“You're young, Sugar. Your brother just got married and had a child at the age of 30. We still have time to keep trying,” said I and Elena increasingly inserted her face into my chest.
“How about you? You're getting old, Max!”
I also chuckled at hearing it. “You really can still mock your old husband, Sugar!” I was sad to hear his words. “After all I'm not that old. Mother said, the child is a gift from God. If we can't have children, maybe not now. Maybe God doesn't trust us.”
“Max,” Elena took off her embrace and looked at me deeply.
“If we had no children, would you hate me?” Hearing that my heart was hurt. How could I possibly hate him?
“You know? That sincere love can't stop fast, not as fast as when I say that I'm in love with you. To me, children are important, but you're much more important. We, we're more important, Sugar!”
Elena was crying again. Her tears kept on dripping, making me unable to hold back my tears as well.
“Listen to me! I am sure God is against us. Even if it's just one child, at least that's what we'll take care of forever. Whatever God's decision, it's our destiny, Sugar. There are no coincidences in destiny, understand?!”
Elena nodded her head and I kissed her lips for a long time.

“Excuse me, Sir!” rain's sudden voice that just entered my room surprised me because Elena's clothes had almost lifted if not for him.
“Ah, sorry, Sir. I guess-“
“Darling, I'll be back at school. You don't forget about tonight at Irene's house,” Elena remembers the dinner invitation from Irene.
Eventually Gilbert's company was re-acquired and I heard that Damar was being desperately tortured by Irene because the woman seemed to be less interested in becoming a leader anymore. Eventually Damar had a lot to learn about his wife's business.
“Good be careful on the road,” I said winking my eyes at him. Elena laughed, she hit me on the back with her bag so Rain laughed.
“Your boss is very flirtatious,” Elena told Rain. “See you later tonight,” Elena patted my ass and now turns her who winks her eyes at me. Can't stand what he's doing. He might tease me at work.
If Rain had not entered, he would have ended up in this room.
“OK so what do you want to report?” I asked Rain.
“This is a new contract with Sign TV, sir. Then they said they wanted to pay for the after-married show that belonged to Mr and Ms. Elena 1 year ago. In country X, they really like Mother Elena and it seems their enthusiasm will increase if the after-married show aired in country X.”
I also read the contract that Rain had just brought, the contents were indeed very profitable and it did not take long for me to sign it because the contract talks have been reviewed repeatedly.
“OK! Then what else?”
“Mmm i-it, Sir.” Rain looked strange in my eyes for the first time. The woman who had worked with me for a long time also took out a letter towards me. More precisely, a marriage invitation letter.
“Sa-I'm getting married. I hope, Father will come to our wedding.”
We were? I pulled the invitation quickly and saw whose name was on it. Soon I laughed in front of Rain making the woman look at me strange.
“Ah sorry-sorry, I just did not expect that Aaron could express his feelings. I guess he could only silently watch you from afar and smile to himself.”
Rain smiled shyly. He hid his hair behind his ears like a woman. Yes, the truth is.
“How long have you guys been boyfriending? Why don't I know?”
Rain scratched his head which was not itchy. “Su-it's been a year, sir. I just don't want my job interrupted. So we remain professional while working,” said Rain really answered my question satisfactorily.
“Alright, I will definitely come. Congratulations to you,” said I and Rain nodded and bowed his body towards me.
“Thank you, Sir. Then I'm sorry.”
I nodded letting him go. Then I work with a pile of files that I have to check, but before my eyes accidentally catch the smile of the woman I love. I lifted the frame off my desk. There is a picture of our wedding. Maybe more precisely the photo after marriage because we did not have time to do a prenuptial photo shoot.
El, I know a lot of things have been bothering him lately. I even know why he came here today. I know today she came months and failed to conceive, but to me Elena's smile was everything. We have been on medication and do what the doctor said, we have also been on medication and even reduced work, we have been sleeping regularly and eating healthy foods but still have not been blessed with children.
It's just, I believe, maybe it's not time yet.
