Touching Hearts

John F's. Kennedy International Airport – Queens, NEW YORK | 10.00 Am

The boisterous atmosphere of the airport helped Aurora disguise the sound

her stuffing is currently being embraced by Leo. The girl was so excited

and Leo's hand gently continued to rub the top of the girl's head

gives tranquility.

"There ah, don't cry anymore. Shame to know people see" joked Leo

"Biarin," Ara didn't care

"Cih, but at least you remember your husband's dong is also here from earlier see like we want to swallow us tuh," whispered Leo

Ara blinked. quickly took off her embrace and twisted her body

facing the figure of the man who had been standing there for a second time

hands put in pocket. The man's gaze was hard to interpret. Ara

can't understand it. Oh, my God, why can he forget

the whereabouts of her husband. He came to the airport together

with him. Ellard insists on accompanying her to the airport despite Ara's wishes

she refused many times because she knew her husband was a man

who was very busy.plus he was afraid of such a release of control

for example, right now.

Ara gulped his saliva with difficulty when remembering his little behavior or indeed excessive when he wanted to let go of Leo. He acted like a

the girl who did not want to be left far away by her lover. Not yet

her eyes are still light because she cries a lot. While Leo's lover

the real one is not being as exaggerated as him. Sara is also there

there. Right next to Angel and Ellard.

Ara grew increasingly nervous as Ellard stepped closer to her. Ellards

bowing his tall little body, rubbing a trace of tears

his wife's face.

"well, my wife is like a zombie now

mostly crying. It turns out Leo is so valuable hmm," Ellard said

relaxing yet piercing

"Sa—sayang, ak—aku, i..." Ara stammered with her voice still

rasping. Suddenly his vocabulary ran out once he felt an unusual aura

from the man who usually always produces a lot of his jokes.

Unexpectedly, Ellard pulled Ara's nape and fused her lips together

both before then*********** a little while ago. Perceiving

the couple, Angel grinned. While Sara

immediately turned his gaze to Leo who was already throwing away

his view to the side. Sara could see one of Leo's hands

clenched firmly held something within him that was ready to explode when

seeing the girl he loves kissing the other guy in front

his eye. Sara knew Leo was hurt again.

"Ssttt. You've been together since childhood, so it's natural

if you're hard to let go of your best friend, aren't you?" Ellard smiled

sweet after releasing their lips. Then pull Ara to her side

and tightly embrace the shoulder of his wife who still looks shock.

"Thank you for taking care of my wife. Now you're not

need to worry about it again because I'm gonna take care of it,"

ellard said with a faint smile to Leo

"That's what it's supposed to be," Leo said flatly.

Leo glanced at his watch. Then he looked at all his friends who had led him away.

"It's time I left. My plane will be taking off soon.

Thank you for taking the time to drive me. Take care of yourself

you guys are fine, and see you later" Leo said, tightening

hold it on a small suitcase in his left hand.

Sara runs towards Leo before hugging him tightly and is greeted by Leo.

"I'm waiting for you here. Take good care of yourself there and keep giving

tidings," Sara's pinta is still in her arms. Leo smiled. He's dipping

warm the top of his lover's head

"Surely," he answered and let go of his second hug.

Leo waved his right hand apart before finally turning back to step inside.

"Sister Leo—" call Ara hoarse. He wanted to run to the man's arms but was held back by a squeeze of Ellard's hand on his shoulder.

Leo stopped hearing the hoarse voice once more.

strengthen his heart not to show his sadness in front of the girl

that's. He turned back to look at Ara's face that was back in tears.

"Ck, stop making that shitty face. I'm only gone for a while, not dead" Leo grumbled

"Sir Leo can't say that!" ara shouted furiously, her breathing gasping

A moment Leo let out a laugh looking at that adorable expression.

"i'm serious brother!" still with a high voice

"Yes, yes, so stop making ugly faces like that. Uda ah, I

gotta go. All right here sweety. Hah, I will definitely be very

miss that bakpao face of yours. Dahh my dear," Leo glanced before

finally continued the steps in seven planes. Her hand

waving without turning around again until his figure disappeared from there.

I will miss you too, brother...

"We have lunch first" Ellard said amid his driving activities.

There's no answer. Ellard turned her gaze to Ara who

it turns out that it is daydreaming with a directional view throughout

streets outside. Ever since they left the airport, Ara was indeed frequent

found daydreaming. The girl suddenly became quiet. Though

previously, he was the one who was the most chatty throughout the show

farewell to Leo earlier, his wife acted like she was left behind

go by lover. Though herself, whose incident is her husband

almost completely ignored.

Ellard hates this. Especially when you see tears and

the look was unwilling to release it from his wife. I want to feel seconds

it was also him killing the figure of the man who was the source of the grief

his wife. Ellard's not stupid. He knew that loving gaze was sevenfolded

just for one person. Not himself. Except for a fucking best friend

his wife. Even since then he has been trying his hardest to stop

his anger. Oh come on, which husband doesn't get angry seeing that wife

he loved to hug other men in plain sight. Possibly

only he managed to display his best mask. Be forthcoming

calm down as if the sentimental drama before him was nothing.

"Ara—" call him again

"Huh?" Ara nodded, awakening from her daydream. He looked at Ellard with a questioning look

"We ate at a restaurant near my office,"

"Hm, I'm not hungry. Can I just go home?" I'm Ara

not delicious. It's not just because he's not hungry,

but suddenly his mood was also not excited since the departure of Leo.

"But since you left the house you haven't eaten anything,"

"Of course. It's just that I'm not hungry,"

"There is no rejection. We'll keep eating" Ellard broke up unilaterally

"But I am indeed—"

"I don't want Ara to argue, '" Ellard said.

Ara speechless. He no longer makes a sound. There's a snarl

at the end of the man's sentence, to make Ara mute. What's up with

that husband? why does he suddenly look angry? If so, what mistake did he make to provoke the man's emotions?

All those estimates, he kept them in his head. No

dare to ask more. Especially at this time Ellard

suddenly increase the speed of their cars to make Ara

tighten the handle on the seatbealt.

****

And this is where they end up. In one of the restaurants is enough

many office workers who come to enjoy

their lunch.

In front of them was presented the food that had been ordered by

Ellard. Some typical French foods include beef burguignon, Soupe

a l'oignon, Langue de Boeuf with its dessert are crepes

and creme brulee. The food was very interesting. But not with

Ara. He has been sitting there restless since. Plus a few looks

eyes that have been staring at them since. All right, they're staring

Ellard with full adoration. But what about her? vaguely

Ara could hear their booing whispers against her. Ara

squeezing the end of his shirt.

Ellard was aware of his wife's discomfort. But this time he

pretending as if you don't know. He continued his cutting activities

"El— ellard.." great-grandson of Ara.

Ellard bergeming's. Pretending not to listen. Ara exhaling

breath. She forgot that her husband wouldn't say if he

call him that name.

"Sayang—"

"Hm"

"We moved on"

"Why?"

"The others are worried about coming here"

Ellard raised her head that had been busy with her food. Raising eyebrows staring at Ara

"Then what's the problem? they have eyes, too,"

"Ak—aku is not comfortable to see so. We'll take the private room, okay?"

Private rooms. Again that room. Why when she was with him

his wife always acted in secret. As if I didn't want to

others know their relationship at any time. Though he

her husband's. The man who is most entitled to himself. While with that damn Leonard, Ara was never shy about showing up together in public. Even until the cuddle.

Damnit damnit!

Ellard tightened her grip on the spoon in her hand.

"From now on there are no private rooms or things that smell

hide away. You're my wife. And the world should know that" Ellard said coldly

"But didn't we agree with this before,"

"Now not!"

"Ellard—"

"Eat. Ara." said Ellard pressed "or need me to kiss you here now?"

Ara freeze. Is this really her husband? why

look so foreign? Ara decided her gaze on Ellard. Bows

and started chewing his food even though he wasn't so happy.

They finally ate in silence. No one makes a sound.

For the first time after marriage, they were in a gripping mood

like this. Usually they will always have a warm conversation with guyonan

silly Ellard who is inexhaustible.

"El—"

The soft voice managed to attract the attention of the husband and wife who was being quiet at the park.

"Cla?" Ellard. He stood up from his seat

The girl smiled sweetly. Then with his spirit he scatters

into the arms of Ellard who was not ready at all until almost

himself uprooted.

"It's been a long time. I miss you so much El" said Cla, tightening her arms.

Ellard. His gaze unintentionally looked at Ara who was also looking at him gawking.

"Eh, I—iya Cla," Ellard patted the girl softly on the back. "Ehem, we'd better sit down, Cla,"

Cla let go of his embrace without fading his smile which they.

The two sit back with Cla now in the middle.

"Where have you been all this time?" Ask Ellard

"I'm in Russia. Undergo therapy there,"

"How did it go now?" Ellard's tone changed

"Much better, the doctor who handled me said I made it

recovering from leukemia after two full years of radiotherapy,"

"Thank God. I'm so happy to hear it," Ellard smiled, stroking the top of Cla's head gently.

Clas. Clarissa Veronica Xander was Ellard's best friend

"Yes, are you eating here by yourself?" Ask Cla

"No. With that girl next to you," pointed Ellard at Ara with her chin

"Oh, jeez! I'm sorry, I didn't notice you at all," shocked Cla involuntarily shook Ara's arm.

"Ah, no problem" Ara smiled clumsily. Scratching the back of his head that is not itchy.

Believe me, he's actually taken a run to run

from the reunion of the two friends. But sadly, the goddess fortuna seems to

not on his side.

"Who is this sweet girl El? cla asked curiously. It was El

never wanted to eat in the company of any woman other than himself

back then.

"Temannya—"

"My wife—"

The husband answered simultaneously. Cla frowned confusedly. While Ara swallowed her hard-earned saliva.

Ellard screeches. He thought his wife would deny it again.

"Who are you really right?" grouser Cla

"He's Aurora Beatrix Miller, my wife. We just got married for two weeks

then," explains Ellard so smoothly while floating a full smirk

his victory was with Ara.

"Me—married? Are you married?"shock Cla

"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Cla, I was too busy at the time"

"Oh, it's ok. I'm so happy to hear that,"

"Thank you Cla," ellard rattled the clas mane "Well connect

you're here, we'd better eat together. And there's no

rejection, "the ultimatum is straightforward

"Tsk, the forcing base" decih Cla

"I am" Ellard said casually spreading her shoulders.

In the end, they ate together. Ellard ordered more food

plenty more. The atmosphere that had been so cold now turned cheerful since

about his days during treatment in russia. However

that guy's. But just now that happiness was approaching, now his heart

he felt twice as much pain as Ellard's mouth

that he was married. The dream that Cla woke up was shattered

that also.

Cla glanced at Ara who was gulping down his drink. That girl is

fat but looks very sweet and will never get bored.

I looked at Chubby's face repeatedly.

Should he give up so soon? After his desperate struggle heals in order to unite with Ellard. Nah! He can't give up so soon. Ellard is his. And

forever will remain his. Consider him now he has been

crazy for having planned to reclaim the man from the side

his wife. But he doesn't care about that anymore. Plan should

I'm sorry Ara. I can't just let Ellard go. She's mine...
