Cars are driving to defend the highway

which is still occupied by the number of vehicles. There was no whole trip

the voiced, silent embraced the atmosphere. Every now and then, Ara turned to look

Ellard who had just stared straight at the street in front of him. Ara doesn't know

why did Ellard suddenly become this silent. Usually the man will continue

invite him to talk, throw any discussion with one hand that continues to play Ara's fingers.

“what did mom say earlier

called?” Ara opened her voice, “it looks like you have been answering for a long time

mama” call

“Just ask us to come home. The rest

a call from Blake” Ellard said, still reluctant to turn to him.

“Oh,” Ara nodded slowly “Oya,

do you know, the kids were surprised by that same thing as me. They say, how

can you get the cum laude predicate? Temporal

hasn't your IP been mediocre?” Ara chattering garing— repeating

greeting his friends earlier “Haha, it's a pity— they don't know if

every night I was taught the same expert directly. If not, how could I

can get a value as good as that” he continued while chuckling himself.

Amidst her weakness, Ara waited

response or affirmation from the man next to him, but ill-fated, Ellard still remains

focus on looking ahead, not piqued at all. Ara biting the lip part

within it. Attempts to attract the attention of her husband did not succeed.

Ara cleared her throat, confirmed her sitting position and immediately held the flower close

he fell from his lap due to the movement.

Ellard glanced at the corner of his eye

“flower from whom?”

“Ha?” Ara cengoh, she turned to

side “what did you say earlier?”

“Whose flowers?” repeat Ellard, please,

while slowing down the speed of the car when they have entered the complex

Ara stared at the only bouquet

the flower in his lap, while the bouquet of flowers and other hadia

in the back seat. His smile rose when he remembered the figure that gave

that flower. In the past, he asked Leo to give him a flower

a beautiful red rose on the day of her graduation.

“Oh, this is from Leo's brother earlier” sahut

Ara jolly

There was a cut before Ellard

stretched out his hand before Ara

“Try to see” the door

Ara according, handed over the bouquet

the flowers were in her husband's hands. Ellard stared at the flower briefly before then

he smiled slanted. Next, the car window opens and without

babibu, she threw the flower out heartlessly. Ara.

eyes

“El... why dumped?!” peekkik Ara's,

staring in disbelief at the relaxed look of Ellard who returned to focus staring at the streets in the

ahead of him.

“Later I'll buy more

good from it” he said lightly

“Ellard.” Ara groaning “itu

gift Leo brother, you should not throw it without feeling so”

“It is precisely because the flower is from dia—

I don't like”

“why? You jealous again?” Ara

squinted his eyes. Slightly ignited.

Ellard finally faced him.

The car stopped right in front of the gate of Ara's house.

“Iya. I'm jealous” replied

chilly

Ara closed her eyes.

Neutralize the gerrymandering that begins to peak. The jealousy of her husband is already

it doesn't make sense.

“El— please, don't be

childish like this” Ara sighs frustrated “kak Leo my best friend. Not more.

And the flower, I asked him myself first of all when I graduated,

as it is now. Cum—”

“So you think I'm childish

so?” cut Ellard quickly, her gaze glaring sharply at Ara

Ara speechless. He clearly saw

her husband's jaw is hardened

“I'm wrong to mistreat men

who gives flowers to my wife?” low, Ellard clenched his hand

“The worst is from the man you once loved! And again, are you not

realize for a bit that that jerk likes you as a woman, too,

not best friend?”

The gate was opened by the security guard

Ellard was still staring at him.

“El.. come on, everything you say

it's not true” Ara doesn't know how else to explain. Ara is already

it says clearly that the man she now loves is only herself

an. Not Leo or anyone else. But it seems her husband is still reluctant

trusting him. Ara just doesn't like Ellard continuing to be blind jealous of Leo who

obviously, I have a lover too.

“Serah if you want to continue

close to him. But don't expect me to be quiet!”

Ellard's voice looked very angry

and scary after saying it. Ellard looked ahead. Drove

the car's in. Silence each other, the two opened the seatbelt. Before it comes out

opening the door, Ara grabbed Ellard's hand, looking at her softly

“Are we okay? Please don’t mad at me again”

Ellard looked at Ara, her chest rising

down with a rough roaring breath. He tried to neutralize his anger

culminating.

“We're not finished” Ellard

speaking coldly, releasing Ara's hand and then getting out of the car.

The day went on the night when Ara

and Ellard arrived at her parents' house. The girl in hadiai had many congratulations

and praise for his incredible achievements. Even Andin arrived

she shed tears because she was so moved by the achievement of her only daughter

but tease him first until annoyed and almost cry just now

Alex would re-hug her dearly and praise her as high as the sky.

Now they are on the couch

which suddenly felt gripping from next to him.

“Sorry. Mama said what was it?”

“Mama asked, after graduating from college

“For now Ara still hasn't thought

Ara waver, and in that instant

also he got up from his seat, staring at his diary. Not what, though,

Panicking, Ara ran back

approaching Ellard who still looked relaxed in his seat. Yet in time

a little more he will arrive, accidentally stumbled feet elbow chair up…

Bukkkk

“ARA!” yell at the four

As fast as lightning Ellard jumped from

sitting down, grabbing his wife's curled body with both elbows held back

so that his face does not immediately collide with the floor. Ara groaned in pain

when he felt his shins throbbing pain. Blood on his knees and

his elbow.

“Stupid, just because of the damn thing

“El, here you clean the blood first

on your knees your wife” Andin thrust a container filled with water and a small towel and

first Aid Box, while waiting

before the doctor came.

“Iya Ma,”

Ellard took the container with First

passing the antibiotic ointment directly makes Ara groan again

“Sshhh... pain El” whining Ara and direct

faced with a sharp delicacy by her husband.

“New remember pain now?”

the insinuation is “tadi still a jago aja”

Ara pursed her lips,

not dear, even in front of innuendo. Ellard's face was not at all

friendly for now. However, Ellard re-applied the ointment

slowly while blowing his knees softly.

The day is getting late.

Ellard and Ara decide to stay at their parents' house, remembering Ara

he is currently in pain and has difficulty walking. The doctor examined him

and give acetaminophen drugs to relieve pain. Ara had an injury to her shin

due to the impact on the elbow of the sofa earlier.

Both of them sleep with their heads

The aura that was laid down on Ellard's sturdy arm biceps. Ara sighed softly, ever since

ellard was still quieting it.  Mediated

the ambiance of the room, Ara looked up, looking at her husband's face

haven't closed your eyes.

“El” call her slowly

“Hm”

“You're still mad?”

“Anged to?”

“Author flowers?”

Ellard lowered her gaze,

looking at the beautiful face of Ara who was waiting for her speech

“Do I have the right to be angry?” tannya

back “are you not the one who should be angry because I have thrown flowers from your dear friend?”

“El...” Ara grimaced, don't know

what else to say. Her husband is still back to insinuate her.

“And earlier— what is so afraid

“Da... where did you know?— Ara

stammered, gulping hard spit

Ellard smiled blandly. It tilts

her body, stroking Ara's face as light as a feather.

“See clearly dear. Your expression

“El— it's just my past. Please

don't misunderstand me. My Ak— just doesn't want to make you even more jealous of

reading my childish writings in that diary.”

“Listen, I’m not jealous, I’m territorial. Jealous is when you want

something that’s not yours. Territorial is protecting what’s already yours”

said Ellard low but full of emphasis “you are mine most precious. And

I only protect what is already mine. I'm a dear man.

seeing with a sting if from the beginning the Leonard did not purely consider you

as companions. He likes you.”

Ara stunned. Still difficult

I think Leo likes it too. This is impossible, right? All this time

the man never showed the slightest sign of interest

against himself. Leo already has a very beautiful lover and

smart, much better than him.

Ellard cupped to the cheek

Ara, awakened the woman from her long daydream. He put their eyebrows together

both.

“I don't care how

and soothing. Ara tilted her head, kissing so deep in her lips

“Never darling. My feelings are not

Ellard's smile came up, until

popping her sweet dimples. He kissed his old Ara forehead. “Yes, You’re mine” Ellard pulling body

Ara, until it sticks completely. He clutched tightly onto his wife's tiny body

“Do not get angry again. Honestly, I

very afraid to see you who are so” I Ara reply to Ellard's response did not lose

tightly.

Ellard put his face on

niche Ara's neck, sniffing then sucking along the neckline of his wife

until leaving the former “Sorry baby— I was just too scared, until not

conscious uda make you scared”

Ara was unable to reply to speech

Ellard when her husband now kissed her neck so intensely

make him squirm with his keenness.

“Honey, I want to eat you”

the Ellard Parau bit Ara's ear

“Ellard stop.

ayak” finally Ara teased with her half-sighing voice.

Ellard snorted before pulling

back down his face, looking annoyed at his woman

“Ck, if you're not installment

until this injury, maybe I have entered you now” he said frontal

Ara chuckles. “as you said

yesterday, we still had plenty of time to do it. Sleep” Ara

paused his speech for a while before blushing,

“I love you”

Ellard smiled broadly, taste

his regret was lost when he heard the word love from his Ara mouth.

“I love you more, honey.”.

Ellard kissed Ara's head.

He closed his eyes with their bodies hugging each other tightly.
