In the morning, Ellard was preoccupied


with cooking ingredients that his servant has provided for cooking. It


wake up early. Work a while, exercise, then take a shower


down with bare chest— while his subordinates wear pants


sweatpants. He intervened himself to cook breakfast for himself and


his wife. Today he decided not to go to the office. Fear will


Ara who was about to leave from him still continued to haunt.


After a long time he struggled


with the cooking, it was finally all finished and immediately served on the table.


The clattering of steps that came to the kitchen made Ellard sing


a smile. Ara was still wearing her sleeping pajamas and her hair was in just any cepol.


I know the woman has not yet taken a shower. Just wash your face and brush your teeth.


Habits if only at home.


“Morning dear” greet Ellard


Ara did not answer. It takes


juice packaging in the refrigerator, pour it in a glass and then drink it until it runs out.


His face was flat regardless of Ellard's whereabouts there. Feel


ignored, Ellard approached and pulled his elbow slowly until he looked


Ara looked at him completely.


“I've cooked. We're having breakfast


together” said Ellard softly as he took her out of the kitchen and


sit him in a chair right in front of the dining table.


“I'm not hungry” reject Ara,


immediately got up from the chair about to leave but swiftly Ellard held back


his shoulders and back made him sit down.


“Do not lie. You were last night


no eating at all. Now eat first. I don't want you sick”


sergeant Ellard, start scooping rice into the dish


“I've been sick” slowly, but


able to make a hand movement Ellard who wanted to take the side dishes


stalled. He turned his head and found Ara glancing at the dish in front of him


expressionless.


He clearly understood the meaning of the word pain that Ara said. That woman


I haven't forgotten what happened last night. Of course, Ara will not forget


or it will never forget— considering the wounds he incited


very large.


“I know,” choked, Ellard


slurried. He went back to putting the food types into the plate,


shift the chair meeting with Ara. Ellard scooped up the food last time


directing the bribe right in front of Ara's mouth that was still closed


“Honey, open his mouth” the door


wait around


Ara was still flinching. Ellards


sigh, “or do you want me to use my mouth?” he said, trying


luck “it sounds that way more interesting. It's been a while since we


didn't do. Food transfer by mouth to mul—“


“I can eat myself” cut


Ara quickly pulled the plate from Ellard's hand and ate it right away.


Ellard smelled a smile. Her girl


it is still afraid of such a threat.


“Good wifey” kekeh Ellard


rubbing the top of Ara's head


Ellard held his chin up,


enjoying the view of his wife who ate leisurely without concern


his presence next door.


“You didn't eat?” Ara


knit an eyebrow as Ellard just looked at him from earlier


“Where to eat my rations


you have eaten all” yourself, he said, pointing with the chin of the Ara plate


Ara raised next to an eyebrow, “That's


there's still a lot. You take again”


“Ck, can't be dear. I'm uda


scoop on your plate for both of us.” Decak Ellard “malas want to take another”


he continued pursing his lips


Ara exhaled a rough breath,


wanting to ignore this man who had hurt her yet another heart


not bear. After all, he is still his wife and has


she should have served her husband.


“Open mouth” tell Ara on


finally— with a still cool tone


kontan Ellard straight up


his body heard the order, he smiled faintly, for in the end


this wife still would not really have the heart to ignore her eating needs.


They eat in silence. Ara


continue to feed him while eating all the dishes presented, while


the man continued to stare focused at her without even turning his eyes towards her


others. Being stared so intensely made Ara become clumsy herself, her face heated up.


For whatever sake, he desperately maintained his expression to remain flat yet


shit, now gentian even his heart is pounding incoherently.


“Your face redden” chirps


Ellard after Ara's last feed.


Ara does not press. He chose to bring


all of their old dinner plates go to the kitchen sink and wash them there. Feel


again ignored, Ellard approached Ara and casually hugged


the woman from behind. Ellard kissed the woman's neck intensely.


“Stop, I'm doing the laundry


plat” persingat Ara cold


Ellard kissed Ara's neck,


before saying “Please, Don't ignore me again, dear” the door with


leaning his chin on his shoulder


“our relationship is not being


as good as that, if you forget” press Ara, with the hand that still cleans


their breakfast plates.


“I know. But can you


give me a chance to repair all the damage I've done? Will


I make sure everything will be back as good as before”


“And what do you think all will


back as usual with that easy?”


“I'll try everything I can, Ara.


All the ways I'll do so that our relationship improves”


Ara rinsed the last glass out then


release hand glove and with


quickly turned around to make the circle of Ellard's hands on her waist detach, regardless,


his net was glaring at Ellard sharply. “Including marrying Clarissa?”


“A-what?” Ellard choked, “stop


talk nonsense, Ara”


“It's not nonsense, though,


except facts. Especially now that she's carrying your baby. So, where


lay the bullshit?”


For a moment Ellard was silent.


Ara's words reawakened him to the sin of his deeds. It


clenching both hands on the side. Jaw tightens.


“Until anytime I won't


remarrying. Forever you will be my only wife. I


we made a terrible mistake and marred our marriage. And I


very sorry about it.” Hoarse, frustrated Ellard “I will remain responsible


with the kid. But not by marrying clarissa”


Ara laughed cynically. “What are you


think it's that easy, El? DO NOT REALIZE THAT ALL THIS TIME CLARISSA IS VERY


OBSESSED WITH YOU?!” jeremy Ara wrathful


Ellard was silent. Obviousness


this just so touched him


“He doesn't purely think of you


as companions. He wants you so much— that he can do it


all sorts of ways to get you” Ara said while wiping the rough water


his eyes that had been out since when.


Ellard clenched his jaw


the meetings. As if unable to reply to Ara's words.


“I'm tired. Whatever you want


doing anything. Please clean up the mess you guys have


make it,” Ara's toilet was about to pass from there, but Ellard quickly held back


arm


“Ara we haven't sele—“


“Tuan” interrupted Blake who came


suddenly with a tense face


Ellard looked at Blake without


releasing Ara's hand in her check “What's Blake?” growled Ellard


master and his nona who looked chaotic. It seems he came at a time when he did not


aptly.


“If things are not important


you'd better be—“


“Nona Clarissa in ICU, room,


Tuan” cut Blake fast


Heard the shocking news


that, suddenly made his grip on Ara's hand come off.


“A-what? ICU?” Ellard stuttered,


the look on her face instantly turned tense and the same thing happened to Ara.


“Iya sir. Fajr, miss


Clarissa tried to kill herself by taking a lot of sleeping pills and slashing


his own hands” Blake report


Ellard laughed loudly, but


so terrible, “Gosh... What drama is this again?” Ellard shook inexhaustibly


thinks


“This is not a drama sir. Missy


Clarissa is struggling through a critical period in the hospital. There is also


Oma and your father are waiting. And I came here because Mr. Holland

both to come to the hospital” immediately


Damn it!!!


Even now her father has

Ellard repeatedly restored her coarse hair, while her mouth continued


put out the swear word.


“Tell daddy we will

outrigger. He expected this to happen.


“Ara...” Erang Ellard, shook his head.


frustrated that his eyes are red. A bad feeling suddenly pervaded him.


Can't imagine what other bad things will overflow his household.


“Solve all today” says


Ara was full of emphasis, while her eyes highlighted such a clear wound.


****


The VIP room was silent, nothing


the voice except for the doctor who is still busy checking Clarissa's condition


just passed his critical period. Clarissa lay weak in a state of


pale on a hospital bed. The girl was unconscious after


passed through the intensive treatment series earlier. Outside the second room


clarissa, Oma, and Holland's parents waited anxiously.


“Dad.” Ellard and the new Ara


get to the front of Clarissa's inpatient room. The tension is clearly visible in


both faces.


Holland comes forward to Ellard


with a difficult look


BUGGS


As hard as Holland punched


ellard's cheek until he was pushed back and almost hit


wall. Ellard's lips were torn, and Holland came back, punching repeatedly


kali face of a child who has been very proud so far—


now it has ruined the girl who was his own best friend until she got pregnant.


“Damn you, Son! Bagamana


you did something this dirty?! How can?!” Holland kept hitting


ellard's body, none of them had broken, not even Ellard


not one bit against. Let his father beat until he was satisfied and


battered. While Ara could only fall silent and throw her gaze in the direction


another, while both hands clenched firmly on the side.


Along the way


the hospital, in Ara's heart, did not stop praying for salvation


Clarissa. He hopes Clarissa can still be helped.


“Why should Clarissa?! Temporal


you already have a wife, damn it!!” holland's jolt was full of disappointment


Ellard's breath was intermittent, though,


blood was flowing from his nose quite a lot, he lowered his head. “I was unconscious


doing, Dad. I’m so sorry.”.


“Sorry is useless


fuck!” umpat Holland, “you see, the girl even wants to end her life


because you didn't admit the child in his womb”


Ellard was silent, unable to


answer his father's words. But in his still silent state, he,


suddenly someone pulled his elbow firmly until he turned around and


PLAQUES


Diana, mother of Clarissa


a hard slap to his face. Women's shoulders


the lungs were up and down due to emotional turmoil that since then he was redam kala


knowing the reason behind his daughter's wish to end her life


“Bags you” hiss Diana “maya


thought you were a nice guy who could look after my daughter, but in fact


you have nothing to do with animals!!” shouted Diana “GARA-GARA YOU, I


ALMOST LOST MY DAUGHTER ASSHOLE!!!” diana continued, beating Ellard's body


otter


“Diana, stop!” sergeant Arnold


he immediately pulled his wife into the embrace


“Why did you stop me! He deserves


got it. Our daughter is almost wretched, Arnold!!” raung Diana was still trying


rebelling to be released but unable to because Arnold hugs him so


robust.


“Diana, relax. We could


talking about this in a good way” Arnold tried to calm down


“Excuse me Om, aunt” ogled


Ellard looked down in despair.


For a moment the situation there gradually


silence, except for the sound of Diana's sobs in her husband's arms.


Holland restores frustrated hair while occasionally kicking the walls of the hospital,


Ellard was still faithfully standing in her place with her head lowered and an oma…


“You're satisfied now?” cynic oma


who knows since when he was standing next to Ara


“Means oma?” ask Ara the same


not understand at all


“You see, because of Ellard


insisting on keeping you, the Xanders almost lost their daughter!


Clarissa tried to kill herself because Ellard didn't admit to the child in


its content. What else if all this is not because you are the cause


the only chaos here now” accused Oma sharp


“So, this time it's all because


my mistake, Oma?” lirih Ara with a raucous voice


“Of course. Who do you think


again?” reply oma without feeling “Lagian you should be grateful because


the Miller family finally has a potential heir, even if it's outside


the wedding. While you until now have not been able to give offspring


for this family!”


DEG


Ara's chest thumping pain when


the painful sentence came out smoothly from the oma's mouth. So hurt. Really, really,


Ara did not expect that the lack this time was made boomerang by oma


to cover up the sins committed by his own grandson and Clarissa. Tears


the one that had been stuck in the eye now decays to fall.


“Okay oma, if this is all too


because I— I'll fix it now” Ara wiped her tears rough. Turn around,


sighed a step forward to the four people in front of him there.


“Ellard..” call Ara with


sagging, his eyes wet.


Ellard looked up, staring


his wife is now standing right in front of him. Same with Holland


and Arnold, with his wife, turned to look at Ara.


Ara grabbed Ellard's hand


since then clenched, opened it and clasped the fingers of the man.


“Ara..”.


Ara took a deep breath, though,


“Ellard.
