Touching Hearts
Thirty Two (Series II)



Ellards


he was checking his documents at the desk in his room. Ellards


really very busy. Over the past four years, the more days his work


more and more. It completely drained his energy and mind. However


Ellard was so grateful for his busy life, he slightly forgot about his personal problems


which is so torturous.


During


four years he had exerted his ability and power to search


aurora's whereabouts but all is nil. His father was very clever


hiding his daughter-in-law. The Aurora completely disappeared without a trace.


In recent years Ellard has visited several countries


it allows Aurora to be there, but the results are still the same. Niente.


Not even the Aurora family knew of the princess


them. Ellard didn't expect it, his father could be as detailed as it hid


Auroras.


Repeatedly


he persuaded his father to tell him where his wife was, but


Holland still refuses to tell her— even if Clarissa is long gone.


 BRAKKK


Stingers


hard on the door of his study managed to disperse Ellard's focus on the documents


which he is reading. Mendongak— his smile immediately rose as soon as he knew the perpetrator


the noise maker. Little Princess. Clara Veronica Miller's. Princess


the little one was standing in the doorway, in pajamas sleeping with a


teddy in his hand. The girl's eyes and nose were reddened. Crying out?


“Papa!!”


clara shouted with shoulders up and down and lips bent.


“Hai, ,


princess Papa,” kekeh Ellard, he got up and circled the table. Approach


Her little princess who again must have sulked for leaving her when


fell asleep earlier. Ellard lowered her body and lifted the small body


into his carrier.


“What’s


wrong my princess? Why cry, huh?” asked Ellard while wiping gently


traces of her daughter's tears.


“Papas


lie!”


“Long?”


“Papas


uda promises not to stay in Cla, but Papa instead goes,” whine Clara while


punching Ellard's face softly.


Ellards


chuckling and smirking his daughter's puffed cheeks. “I’m sorry, Princess. Papa


more work. Princess Papa bobo again ya”


“Cla,


don't want bobo himself. Papa should accompany,”


“Crushes,


how does Papa dong?” work


“Yes


died. Papa bobo same Cla!” clara's crying is getting louder


Ellards


sigh, “Ok, ok. we are bobo. But promise no more crying, hm?” wheedle


Ellard kissed Clara's cheek


Blubbering


Clara stopped immediately. The little boy nodded his head quickly.


“Good


girs. Then, let’s sleep with Papa” exclaimed Ellard, kissed the top of the head


Clara began to take steps out of her daughter's seven bedrooms.


Ellards


lay Clara's small body in the middle of the bed, then joined to lay down


next to her was a blanket pulled up to her little girl's neck. Ellards


tilted her body and started patting her little girl's back.


“Papa..”


Ellards


lower her gaze “Hm?”


“I


want to hug Mum’s photo” murmured Clara, staring at sayu Ellard. The boy was already


almost asleep.


“Photo?”


the Beo Ellard


Clara


nods. Without looking, his hands were directed to the nightstand that contained a frame


photograph. “There Papa's. Give me..”


Ellards


stunned, staring at the photo nanar her daughter intended. The portrait inside


the frame was the figure of a beautiful woman with a smile that they were beautiful,


looking at the camera. So graceful. A figure that has long been very


missed desperately. Auroras. Wife


his favorite.


Slow down, man,


Ellard reached for the photo— looked at him so deeply.


“Papa…


give me, my mom...” Clara interrupted half whining and instantly snatched


the frame then kissed him before clutching him tightly. “Miss you Mom..”


Ellards


staring at the behavior of his daughter. As Clarissa requests, she wants the


clara as her mother is Aurora. Not himself. And Ellard


did exactly as Clara's birth mother asked. He introduced Aurora


as her biological mother, she is currently undergoing treatment outside


negris. He was forced to lie to Clara, but promised inwardly, he would succeed


he found his wife's whereabouts and brought her before his daughter.


“Papa…


when did Mama come home? Cla misses,” murmured Clara with her eyes closed, drowsiness almost


retrieving consciousness.


“No


long time, darling.” Ellard's voice peeked long at Clara's forehead and tightened


her hug. “Papa will bring Mama home as soon as— and if not healed too, too,


later Papa himself who will slowly drug” shriek Ellard with eyes that


heat up.


“Promise,


Papa?” murmured Clara in the midst of her sleepiness


Ellards


low laugh, “Promise, Princess. Your mom will come home as soon as possible”


Ellard pinned his head on the top of Clara in a fit of anxiety. Not afterwards


there was another chatter coming out of the little boy's mouth— was replaced with


her fine snoring.

dozens of small children singing spiritual songs filled the room


located behind a church. From a child who has just reached the age


three years even to teenagers. And all those kids are doing the alloy

long blue dongker, with a backpack attached to his shoulders, is now in the middle


a big smile looked at him. Next to the boy, it also looks


a little girl with a height slightly shorter than her— wears a skirt


with the same color as him, also displays a smile that is no less wide


to display her milk teeth.

Sister Anna was accompanied by a sincere smile engraved on her old face.


“Understanding

“Then good,”

the man in his casual clothes was standing while leaning against the car.


the man had not realized their presence because he was focusing on typing something


his cellphone.


“Uncle


Leoooo!!” shouted the twins together while directly running towards the figure


which they call.


Leo


look up— smiled widely as he saw his small troops running


so his spirit is towards him. He immediately lowered his head and spread out both hands


wide, welcome his beloved.

petite Nala and stick it on both cheeks.


“Who


tell Uncle not to love you anymore? every day the uncle multiplied


dear now”


“Uncle

“No, ,


I’m not lying my angel. Uncle these last few weeks has a lot of work, so


can't play with you.” Obviously Leo. Considering it's been a month


he had not visited this small army. Usually, once a week


he always took the time to come to visit the twins even if he had to


traveling such a long distance. “But now Uncle uda is not busy. So, let’s


play for all day,” exclaims Leo with his childish style.


“Really?


Horayyy.. c’mon uncle.. c’mon.” lightning-fast, sulking mood Nala changed cheerfully. Girl


it jumped straight into Leo's arms. While the man only


can chuckle with anxiety while standing up by holding the small body of Nala.


“I

“Nathan, ,

mediate while ogling jokes on Ara.


“Fine.


Nathan and Mama aja deh” sahut Nathan, directly embracing the strong arm of Ara.


“Then, ,


Let’s go! We play as much as” exclaimed Leo, who soon followed a shiver of excitement


twain.


Saw


that, Ara could only smile happily. A warm feeling flooded his heart. Axcel Leonard, the man who for four


this year has always been faithful to be by his side. Accompany and give him strength. Since


in the past even until now Leo has always been his protector. When the twins


still in the womb even to this size, Leo never once


leave him. How else could he repay the man's kindness


to him. Especially on the sikembar. Not just being Uncle for the twins, Leo


also doubles as a Dad to their— replacing the role it should have been


it's Ellard. Leo poured all his affection on the two boys,


even if it is not his own flesh and blood. But love Leo


his children look so sincere.


Till


now that Ara was still astonished, how could this man manage to trace the whereabouts


himself in this remote area. While all he knows is that his father-in-law is


a person who has great power, able to hide his existence


it was so slick that no one could find it, including Ellard, his own biological son.


Reckon


Ellard, how is the man now. Is he looking for it


or maybe you have forgotten? she is happy with Clarissa's existence


and their child.


Auroras


breathing heavily. He could not deny that he was still


she loves Ellard, who is still her husband.


Four years apart has not managed to dampen his feelings on


the man who hurt her. Before birth, it is not uncommon


always crying silently. But not now. The existence of his little son


managed to shift his sadness.


Once


again Aurora threw out her breath violently. It cannot be weak. Quiet now


it is his life priority. To hell with his feelings. Happiness now


his two children are the main ones. Well. now and hope to.


forever, there is only him and his children. They will still be happy though


without Ellard O’Neill Miller.
