Uncle's Savings Lover

Section 26

Returning from Rega's office took Elena for a short stroll through the bustling city park in the afternoon. On the eve of the night they go on a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant in town. Rega held Elena's hand towards the 2nd floor of the restaurant. There it looks more lonely when compared to the first floor which is almost filled with guests.

"Why not just downstairs, Ga? It's so quiet in here." Elena.

Rega pulled out a chair for Elena to sit on. "Sit. I want to enjoy a romantic dinner, just the two of you." Rega was still waiting for Elena to sit in her chair. "Darling!" The man called out to Elena who was still pecking at his place.

"Ah yes, I'm sorry!"

"Your face reflects that you don't like my desires."

"Who said? I like it." Elena threw a sweet smile at her lover.

"really? I don't want to force you, if you don't like this romantic dinner we better cancel."

"It's not like that. You taste it once, we better order some food, I'm hungry." Elena felt a little guilty.

The man nodded in agreement to Elena's invitation. He sat in front of Elena with eyes not separated from the girl's face.

They eat their food in an elegant style, Elena eats Spaghetti bolognise, the food she once made for Nathan while Rega is preoccupied with slicing steak on his plate.

Nathan's shadow suddenly appeared in Elena's mind. Because of this spaghetti I remember it again, Elena wrote in her heart.

"El, I want to talk seriously!" Rega's gaze turned serious. He stopped his eating.

"Speak what?"

"Maybe it's too soon for you, but I want you to know that I really love you. I want to take our relationship to a more serious level, tie you to a real relationship." Rega took out a small glass box and opened it in front of Elena. "Will you marry me?" Rega said with a pounding heart, and a feeling of nervousness dominated the man.

Elena was aghast when she saw the glass box inside which contained a simple sparkling diamond ring, according to her taste. Even more shocking were the words spoken from Rega's mouth, the man proposed to her. Elena was still staring fixedly at Rega who was also looking at her anxiously towards the answer she was about to give.

"I-I didn't expect to get that question right now. But before I answer I want to tell you something about myself that's not as good as you know it, because I don't want you to regret it later."

"Is that something really important?"

"Maybe this is very important to you!"

"Tell me!" Rega was curious.

Elena took a breath and threw it away. "You're not the first for me. I'm not a holy girl anymore. Once you figure this out, do you still want me?" Elena said embarrassedly, it's a disgrace to her. Men will definitely choose a hudup couple who are still holy, unlike him.

Hearing Elena's bitter statement, Rega closed her eyes and grabbed Elena's fingers, in her hands the girl's soft hands. "I don't really care about that. I love you that's enough for me. I don't care how bad you are, I'll marry you."

Elena's tension slowly faded as she heard the narration from Rega. Rega accepts all the flaws that exist in him.

"So will you marry me?" Ask Rega again, looking at Elena expectantly.

Elena tried to convince her heart. Establish choices. "Yes, I'm willing." Answer Elena.

Elena's reply gave a breath of fresh air to Rega. Elena accepted the proposal. Rega pinned the ring to Elena's ring finger with a happy feeling.

"Thank you." Rega kissed the back of Elena's hand. "Last this week I'm taking you to see mom to ask her for her blessing."

"Yes!"

■■■■■■

They just arrived home at 10 p.m. They walked side by side to their rooms.

"Darling!" Call Rega when Elena will press the door handle.

Elena paused her intention to open the door, she flipped over her body which directly hit Rega's hard body. Elena retreated in shock to Rega who was right in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked cornered at the door.

"Sorry," Rega said as Elena removed the link.

"I'm tired, I'm going into the room first."

"All right, good night, baby." Rega kissed Elena's forehead ending her meeting tonight.

Elena opened the room door and closed it again, and did not forget to lock it. He was still standing in front of the door staring at the ring around his ring finger. He is already attached to Rega, he will learn to accept the man. Love him with all my heart.

Elena took off her work clothes, replaced them with pink sleeping pajamas and laid herself on the bed to close her eyes immediately. I don't know why tonight the feeling of happiness perched in his heart. Is it possible because of a proposal from Rega or something else? I don't know.

But in the middle of the night a pair of burly arms hugged Elena's sleeping body. Closely clutching that stumpy body. Peace has returned to cover both.

Elena was troubled in her sleep by the gentle kiss around her back neck, she opened her eyes and was immediately startled with a pair of burly arms that were hugging her possessively. Elena cried out loudly while trying to sit down, trying to remove the embrace of someone who had infiltrated her room. The man's hand smothered Elena's mouth, dampening Elena's screams that might have roused the entire house.

"Shush." Said the man whispering beside Elena.

Elena moved away the hand of the man covering her mouth. As if she knew the masculine scent of the man beside her, Elena could not see clearly the person's face because the room was dark.

"Who are you? why are you in my room?" Elena asked fearfully, she covered her body with a blanket. Elena had to be careful if the person did anything to her.

"You don't recognize me, huh!"

Elena stiffened in place. That voice, that voice belonged to the man he once left behind. But how could that man be there?

"N-nathan.. Are you that?"

"Yes, baby!"

Either happy or even sad that Elena felt at this moment.

"What are you doing here?" Elena lowered her voice, while swallowing her silvi with great difficulty.

"Meeting my lover. Don't you miss me, baby?" Nathan said, the man shifted his seat closer to Elena who was trying to avoid her.

"No, we don't have anything to do anymore. Go, before anyone sees you here!" The girl stood up.

Nathan clenched his hands tightly. It is unexpected that he received a rejection from Elena, it may be true that Leo told him that Elena did not want him anymore. Nathan stood up and grabbed Elena's body and hugged her from behind.

"You don't know how frustrated I am when I wake up in the morning and find you're not next to me. You gave me a sweet treat after that you just left, left me alone. I'm crazy, El!"

"I'm sorry!" Elena held her stuff.

"Come home with me!"

"I can't. Everything is different now." Elena said firmly.

"Everything is the same. You're my lover until whenever it's gonna stay that way, unless I decide." Cetus Nathan presses on every word.

"It turns out you're still selfish." Elena took off Nathan's embrace, drew closer to the nightstand to turn on the sleeping lights.

Nathan sat himself on the sofa in the room, his sharp eyes staring deeply at Elena who was still standing keeping her distance. "Come here! I've bothered to come here but you just ignored it. Can't we let go of this mountain longing. You should know I'm having a hard time breathing without you!"

"But you're still living fine to this day, and you've had other women as long as I'm not around. What can I expect from you? Be your mistress again, won't." Elena said sarcastically.

Nathan's hands clenched with lips tightened. Elena's words really hurt her. Without saying a word Nathan walked out of Elena's room through the open balcony door, Elena just silently looked at the departure of the man who seemed to be holding back her anger.
