LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Are you in my Past?

The romantic atmosphere is enjoyed by 2 different humans of that type who sit on a sofa.

A sweet kiss as if they were reluctant to end. Not about napsu, but about long-buried longs.

Something that Eilani felt once. A kiss that brings happiness. It is as if love has long been possessed. Until finally Eilani quickly castrated the kiss. He looked at Elvaro with a tight chest.

"Why do I feel like you've kissed me before?" ask Eilani.

Elvaro was silent for a moment. Should she be honest that she was the ex-husband that Eilani had actually forgotten? But, what if Eilani will hate him and finally won't take care of Tiara's mom anymore?

Elvaro's heart churned with all those questions. "Do you feel like we've been close before?" ask Elvaro.

Eilani stood up while holding his head. "I. I better get home."

"Wait, let me take you home."

Along the way, Eilani remained silent. Elvaro also did not want to invite him to talk because he actually had no answer if about their closeness in the past.

Finally the car arrived in front of Eilani's apartment. Elvaro quickly got off and opened the car door for Eilani.

"Thank you for dinner?" eilani said as soon as he got out of the car.

"Can I ask you again tomorrow?"

"I'll think about it."

"Can I hug you?"

"Huh?"

Elvaro hugged Eilani without waiting for her approval. "Thank you for tonight." then he let go of his arms and got straight into his car.

Upon arriving home, Elvaro headed to his mother's room. He was surprised to see the mother who was still awake. Sit while leaning on the bed.

"Mommy, why haven't you slept?" ask Elvaro while approaching. He sat on the edge of the bed and held his mother's hand.

"So mommy went to the bathroom."

"alone? Why don't you pull the bell and call one of the ART?"

"They're tired of it, El."

Elvaro was surprised to hear his mother's answer. Tiara Evans never cared about her art. Whether they are tired or not, they must serve the mistress. Tiara always said that they have earned a considerable wage compared to those working elsewhere.

"I'm afraid my mom is falling."

Tiara smiled. "Suster Ani has taught me how to walk to the bathroom. There are a few steps before turning right. There are a few steps after the bathroom door opens and reaches the toilet. Sister Ani was very good at teaching mommy, El."

"Thank God, mi."

"He taught my mom not to be dependent on others. And it was like my mom had faintly seen the light, El."

"Oh yeah? Is my mom dreaming?"

"No. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw the light for a few seconds. Even the shape of the room is starting to show. Then it all went dark again."

"Maybe it's a process for mami's recovery. I'm really happy."

Tiara rubbed the back of her son's hand that was in her grasp. "El, tomorrow mommy will ask sister Ani to deliver mommy to the ophthalmologist."

"If necessary, El will take your mother there."

"You like sister Ani, El?"

Her mother's question surprised Elvaro.

"Mami mean?"

Tiara tried to feel her son's face. "Mami yesterday heard a conversation between fellow art. They didn't know that mom was in the bathroom. They said, you really like to glance at Sister Ani for a long time. Even he said every time you look at Sister Ani your face is always beaming. That right? How pretty is Sister Ani's face?"

"Beautiful in heart." Elvaro holds his mama's hand Ang on his cheek. "Mi, it's only natural that I always look radiant when I see it. I was amazed at her persistence in taking care of my mother. He's also loving to all."

"You're not in love with her, are you, El? Pity Citra if you like Sister Ani. My mom, though, can't see that she's comfortable with him. Mami is sure that she has a charm as well that makes everyone in this house like her. Only, you are already engaged to Citra. It doesn't feel good that you split up just because of the third person."

"If I hadn't been engaged to Citra, would my mother agree that I liked Sister Ani?"

Elvaro felt his heart ache. He kissed his mama's forehead. "Mommy should sleep. It's late."

"Alright, El. You sleep too, son?"

"Yes." Yeah." Elvaro helps her mom to lie down. After that she pulled out the blanket and covered it in her body. After dimming the room lights, he immediately went out of there.

El went into his own room. He smiled at the sweetness of their kiss. The man held his own lips as if it was his first kiss.

The time when his relationship with Eilani began to become tenuous.

************

Liverpool at the time ...

It's winter now. Everyone who moves outside the house must use a thick coat.

Today there was an important meeting at the office and it was over at 8 p.m. Elvaro is actually preparing to go home because Ardy has also come home because there is a date with Laura. A few minutes ago Eilani told me he had finished cooking and Elvaro was hungry.

However, just as he was about to pick up his jacket, the door of his room was knocked on and before Elvaro allowed the one who knocked on the door to enter, the door was already opened from outside.

Elvaro's eyes widened to see who was now entering his room. Not to lose his surprise, he also saw there were bruises on the woman's face and her hair looked messy.

"Stella?"

The blonde beauty immediately ran towards Elvaro and hugged him with a very strong cry.

"Help me, El. Help me!" stella said while tightening her arms. He was terrified because his body was trembling.

Elvaro tried to control himself from overwhelming shock. Stella Jonsons, a girl of English-Spanish descent who was the girl she once loved so much, who left without a message, which left Elvaro's heart broken until he was addicted to drugs, now come to him in a state of chaos.

"Sit down.....!" Elvaro let go of his embrace and took Stella to sit down.

The two sat on the sofa in Elvaro's room. The man then took the tissue and gave it to Stella. He could see the bruises on both of the women's cheeks even the corners of his lips looked bloody.

Stella tried to stop her crying and then she combed her messy hair with her hands, took a hair tie from inside her bag and then tied her hair with the origin.

"I made you tea." Elvaro stood up, stepped towards the round table in the corner of the room, blamed the place to heat the water and not for 5 minutes, a cup of warm tea was ready for Stella.

Stella had opened the thick jacket she had been wearing and now left only a red sweater and Elvaro realized that the sweater was a gift from her when they were dating.

"Drink" said Elvaro.

Stella sipped her tea and finished it. "El, do you have any food here? I'm so hungry."

Elvaro opened a jar containing cookies. Eilani's new cake this morning underneath. "Eat."

Stella took some cookies and ate them quickly. He even choked. It looks like how hungry he is.

Elvaro poured more tea into Stella's glass. He can see that Stella's body is much thinner than 2 years ago. But it did not eliminate the beauty of his face that had become an idol in the campus first. Stella is so valued by many men. He is smart and active in following various activities that make the name of their university. And at that time, Elvaro felt very lucky when Stella received her love.

"Want me to order some food?" elvaro asked him to see how well Stella ate the cake. The woman nodded immediately. Elvaro called his restaurant and ordered food for Stella and called the security department to deliver the food to the top if it came.

"I'm sorry I bothered you, El. I know you must be disappointed in me. But I have nowhere else to go. You know I only have one brother and he is married and lives in Australia. Very far from here. And since my mother died and my father married again, I've chosen to stay with you because I don't want to interfere with their lives. " Stella's tears are flowing again.

"El, please help hide me for a few days. My ex-husband will definitely find me if I go to my father's house. I don't want to be with him anymore, El. He tortured me and made me a slave in his bed."

"Why do you want to marry that psychopath?"

Stella looked at Elvaro. "For if I hadn't married her at that time, my father would have been killed. While my mother told me that she was pregnant. I was forced to marry because I paid my father's debt, El."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"El, my father's debt is very much. You just started your career."

"You know my family has a lot of money?"

"I know, El. But my father's debt is not a little. You know who I am. I can't possibly trouble you with all that debt. I know that I hurt you, El. But I had to do it. I don't even deserve your forgiveness." Stella's tears flowed so hard. He held Elvaro's hand and kissed the man's hand as his apology.

Elvaro closed his eyes. Stella is the greatest love she has ever had from the many women she has ever been close to. Elvaro is swept away in memories of an unfinished past. Memories that turned out to make Eilani very hurt.
