THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

64. I already have you

Abrine could not deny that since hearing Wildan's words the other day, he had been thinking about Pevita. Is it true that El will think of her as Pevita if she later becomes pregnant? Will El make up for Pevita's guilt through her pregnancy? Why does it feel so unfair, doesn't El say she loves him?

He could have asked Elrich. But, he was afraid of offending El. Moreover, El seemed a lot silent since the incident at the police station at that time.

"I'm off to work, Brine."

El's words made her realize from her daydream. He rushed after El's steps that almost touched the door handle.

"El!" yells.

Elrich. "Yes?"

"You didn't eat your breakfast?" There was a disappointed tone from his question. Of course, El didn't eat his cooking this morning.

"I'm in a hurry, Brine. There's a sudden operation."

She grabbed the husband's arm. "El, are you still angry because I made trouble until I got into the police station?"

Elrich smiled faintly. "No, Brine. I have to go now" said the man.

"El, wait a minute!" preventably. He took Elrich's hand, took it to his lips and kissed the back of the hand with reverence.

Elrich seemed amazed, perhaps because for the first time he did this to his husband.

"Be careful..." He waved at El who still looked dumbstruck.

"Ehm, yeah. I'm leaving."

He nodded and curled a smile. Although his mind was riled up but he tried to be calm. He does not want his domestic relationship to get colder if he reciprocates El's silence with the same thing.

As soon as Elrich, he had to go back to clean up the food.

"Huppp.... What's so busy? His wife's cooking was not eaten!" he complained while he was singing his lips.

Drt...drt....

The vibration of the phone made him have to take the flat object from the pocket of the apron he was wearing.

^^^[If it is not a hassle, can you take the food to the Hospital later in the day? I'm not excited about not eating my wife's cooking all day!]^^^

A smile spread on his lips. The message seemed so sweet when she read it. She quickly returned a message from her husband.

^^^[Okay, Darling]^^^

And sent. After that he chuckled. His intention was to make the husband groggy but the end he himself felt embarrassed after the message was actually sent.

But alas, the message looks unread by Elrich. Maybe my husband is busy driving now.

"Well, I have to fix it now."

Today he's going to his office for a while, and then later in the afternoon he'll deliver food to Elrich at the Hospital.

Arriving at Anne's office has welcomed her with a piece of work.

"Miss, Heaven Company company is applying to cooperate with our company. The owner is also willing to invest an initial stake of 25%."

Abrine checked the file Anne was pointing at him. But, his company had never cooperated with this company before.

"Why the owner wants to join us, Heaven Company is not a small company. They have subsidiaries that are widespread in various cities even within and outside the country."

"Maybe they are interested in the benefits that will be obtained," replied Anne sounded hesitant.

"Maybe you said?"

Actually Abrine is happy there are international companies that want to plant shares in his company. But, he couldn't take it for granted. Not that he refused sustenance, but he just had to be more thorough before agreeing to it. Unless his company is on edge, maybe he can't do that, but right now his company is doing fine so he still wants to avoid a relationship that is less clear about his true intentions and goals. Especially until planting a large initial stock, he thought.

"Miss, if you don't mind, we can have a meeting with the owner of Heaven Company."

"Alright, set a time to meet him."

"He said at any time, he'll adjust to your schedule, Miss. The important thing is that he meets you directly and is not represented."

He smiled faintly. "A Heaven Company owner is willing to adjust to my schedule? Oh right, this sounds really funny, doesn't it?" muttered.

Anne was also surprised by this, but for her this was a jackpot because the big company wanted to work with the company where she worked. This will boost the popularity and benefits of the company.

"It's strange, because I don't think he'd want to look at our little company, let alone propose a partnership."

By noon, Elrich was already sitting in his room staring at the history data paper of some of his patients.

Feeling quite learned of that, he opened the phone that he hadn't touched since morning.

Reading Abrine's message calling him 'honey' made him smile happily.

"Are you starting to love me?" he muttered alone.

A phone goes into his tablephone.

"Doctor, your wife is here."

"Oh, yeah, I'll just meet him there."

He hung up the phone and opened the alma mater. Roll up the sleeves of the shirt while whistling happily.

Silence Abrine over disappointment in himself, really made him feel guilty. None of this should be continued or he himself will regret it.

Abrine appears to be wearing a slimfit shirt with small pink flowers, as well as nude cloth pants to complement his wife's suit today.

Abrine's appearance greatly brightened his gaze. He looked at his wife with a bright twinkle of love.

"Why?"

The wife's voice made her smile.

"Pretty."

The one word he said made his wife chuckle with a red hue all over her face.

"Where do you eat?" abrine asked with a dikulum smile, timidly.

"Outside yes. In my room I'm bored."

Abrine nodded, he immediately grabbed his wife's fingers and walked hand in hand towards the back garden of the Hospital.

"You're busy today?"

"Lumayan."

"Don't it bother you to come here just to deliver my food?"

Abrine shook his head while smiling gently. I want it to feel like he grabbed the woman, for some reason his heart was so longing. But, he did not do it, he just looked at Abrine who was now opening a box of supplies.

"Here, eat...." Abrine thrust the food box at him but he shook his head.

"Why? Is it not tasteful?" Abrine looked agitated.

"Not."

"So?"

"Buap me, may?"

Abrine chuckles. But he did make his request. A spoon came to his mouth which was extended by his wife.

"Basar doctor spoiled.why still ask to be fed. Don't you remember the age?" kekeh Abrine's.

"Once in a while spoiled to his own wife doesn't matter, does it?"

"Then, can I also be spoiled for my husband?"

He chewed on the food while staring at Abrine in astonishment. "Yes, of course you can. I was expecting you to be spoiled for me."

"really?" Abrine's eyes are perfectly rounded.

Then they chuckle together.

"You eat too. I don't want you to starve." He picked up the box and fed his wife as well.

Abrine did not refuse, they ate together with a warming feeling.

"Ehm, may I ask you something."

He nodded in response to his wife.

"Why did you shut me up yesterday?" Abrine pecked at a pouting face.

He rattled his wife's hair with anxiety. "I'm sorry, I'm just reflecting on my mistakes with you. You're not wrong, I'm wrong."

"Wrongly? What's wrong with you?"

"I feel you can't count on it and I feel insecure about it."

"El.." -...." Abrine shook his head violently. "I don't blame you. I understand, I know you didn't do it on purpose."

"I know you don't blame me. It's just that I feel like because my alphabets actually give another man a gap to enter your life."

"You mean Raymond?" guess Abrine.

"Yes, one of them. Also Erland."

Abrine smiled knot. "You're jealous, right? I expected it."

"That's how.." I don't want to deny it.

Apparently Abrine took his hand and grasped it. His fingers immediately flowed a warm feeling.

"El, from now on don't be jealous anymore. Raymond and I were just best friends, maybe he was the guy I loved but now he's just my best friend..."

"You sure?"

"Honestly, I wasn't sure at first but now I'm sure Ray's just my best friend."

"You don't have any more taste in him?"

Abrine nodded steadily.

"How can you?"

"Because I already have you."
