As soon as Aaron stepped foot inside the vintage-style room, but did not leave a feminine impression in accordance with the owner. There are many photos and paintings neatly lined up on the wall and two bookshelves in the corner of the room.
Aaron did not listen too much to Evelyn's words, his eyes had been looking at the photos on the wall with curiosity. I would love to see that photo up close.
After Evelyn entered the bathroom, Aaron moved closer and closer to the pictures. Aaron begins to look at her, ranging from adorable photos of a cute little baby, to teenage girls Aaron believes are childhood photos of Evelyn.
Aaron's smile expands without realizing it, when he sees pictures of Evelyn in her development.
However, Aaron was suddenly glued to a photo. That's a picture of Evelyn who seems to be five years old.
Isn't this Elin? Aaron recognized her right away, because the man was actually pecking at the girl's face lisp in his memory.
"Elin.." said the man, taking a picture frame from the wall. His heart was already pounding over the surprise he had just discovered.
It feels so hard to believe. His knees were limp, as if unable to support his body.
Again, her heart raced, as her manic, blurred by tears, found a photograph that further strengthened her belief that Evelyn was the childhood girl who had proposed to her.
The photo itself with little Elin who was holding hands and smiling sweetly towards the camera. Aaron still remembers taking the photo, Evelyn forced him to smile and hold her hand.
Aaron smiled bitterly, with tears beginning to wet his face. His knees were kneeling, along with his body slumping on the cold floor. This truth is very difficult to accept by his common sense.
"Elin.." The crying was so bitter. Deep longings and regrets, mixed into one within him.
Her heart was so happy that it had finally found her childhood love. But the pleasure is extinct already in regret that is no longer hidden in it.
His previous cruelty to Evelyn, constantly swirling filled his memory. Until finally the laughter mixed with tears that can express how painful the man's heart.
"My interior.. I have hurt him." cried Aaron.
For the first time after sixteen years, Aaron cried again. Weep for the poor girl he has hurt physically and mentally. He had destroyed his first love.
***
Thirty minutes long, Aaron stood in front of the bathroom door, waiting for the slurred girl, his childhood sweetheart. His heart continued to pound as if it was about to jump from within his body. Somehow, after a long time, he finally found the girl.
The door opened, his heart pounding more and more. A petite body in a bathrobe stood in front of him, looking at him confusedly.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" that beautiful voice greeted his ear drum. Please, want to feel like hugging that frail body.
"What is t...."
Aaron couldn't stand it anymore, he missed this petite figure so much. Elin, Aaron's childhood sweetheart.
"My interior...." Aaron cried, all his arrogance disappeared just like that, changing with a whiny and weak man.
"How stupid I am, I can't recognize you... Elin..." her embrace grew more and more tight, as if to fuse Evelyn in her arms.
"Master release..." Evelyn felt her breath was very tight due to Aaron's embrace.
"No. I miss you so much. You don't miss me? It's me, Aaron's brother."
Evelyn thought Aaron had lost his sanity. The man suddenly hugged her and said miss? What's the matter exactly. With all her might, Evelyn managed to escape from that embrace.

"Look at this." showed me a picture of her and Evelyn holding hands. "It's me, Brother Aaron...." Aaron looked at Evelyn's bewildered face, his heart hoping that Evelyn would remember something. But that hope must be dashed, when the head back answered him.
"I don't remember anything, sir. I was confused where I got this photo from. Mommy said, after our vacation at the villa, Mommy found this photo in my bag." she replied.
Aaron sighed, right too, Evelyn was still very small back then, and must have forgotten about her. But there was still another glimmer of hope, and Aaron had big hopes with it.
"The necklace." pointed at the black jewel-eyed necklace on Evelyn's neck that Chlarent had once given her. "You don't remember that necklace? At our farewell, you took it from me, and you promised to give it back when we met again." Aaron explained.
"I.this? I... have I ever taken it?"
"Hmm. This necklace has a pair, and another one is on you." Aaron looked at her deeply.
Evelyn is trying to remember what Aaron said. Well, it seems like it's true Aaron said. Because every time she saw this necklace perched on her neck, Evelyn always felt familiar.
"Evelyn?" Aaron called out to her very gently.
"Sorry sir, I thought of something. It seems like I've seen this necklace before. But I don't know where I've seen it." explains Evelyn, making Aaron's last wish dashed back then.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not...."
"It's okay Evelyn." cut Aaron in a soft voice. "Indeed the necklace was precious to me, because it was my mother's last relic. But the more important thing than that is that I've found my Elinku." Aaron said with confidence.
Aaron grabbed Evelyn's hand, clasping tightly as if afraid Evelyn to leave.
"Elin..." locking Evelyn's bead only focused on her. "I realize my actions towards you are cruel and unforgivable... I've made you suffer, until you have to endure the tremendous inner pressure of pain. And even I almost made you lose your sanity...."
Aaron lowered his head, he really couldn't bear to look into those eyes for much longer. His heart became weak, remembering all his past deeds.
"I'm guilty Elin... I'm guilty.." Tears don't go away with her regrets.
"Sir...."
"Don't call me again with that call. I am not your master. I'm your husband." cut off Aaron, looked back at Evelyn, but a second later lowered his head, unable to return the gaze.
"I'm so mean...."
"A. aaron... I. I've forgiven you...."
Just then Aaron raised his gaze, staring at Evelyn expecting his explanation.
"I've forgiven you, Aaron, long before you even apologized."
"But why?" Aaron doesn't take Evelyn for granted.
"Why?" Evelyn smiled amusedly, "God alone would forgive his sinful people, let alone me who is just a human being." he also replied to Aaron's hand. Both give each other comfort in the relationship of the hand.
"You have also atoned for what you did. You found Mommy's best doctor, and you released Daddy from prison. Don't think too much about what you did to me, I'm a strong woman. Look, I'm okay, right?"
Look how beautiful that girl is. He even told her of his suffering with laughter. What was on the girl's mind.
