LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Eliminate My Memory

"Mommy doesn't accept you as a daughter-in-law. But how else. Elvaro is married to you. You now carry the Evans surname. Mami doesn't really like Tiara either. Mami doesn't want Elvaro to be a cheating man. That's why mommy told you this."

That was what Tiara said as they were on their way to the hotel.

Tiara herself was driving the car and Eilani was sitting beside her without speaking. The woman is upset. When Eilani called last night, El didn't pick her up and Eilani thought her husband was asleep.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Tiara got off first and handed the car keys to the doorman and immediately entered the lobby followed by Eilani who was still in her nurse's uniform covered with a red sweater.

"Good morning. I'm Miss Tiara Evans."

The receptionist named Vera immediately smiled. The Evans family is one of the shareholders in the hotel.

"Can I help you, ma'am?"

"My son stayed here. We wanted to surprise her with a birthday. I asked for a spare key for his room. Can you?" Tiara said while whispering a little while inserting some money sheets. "He's in room 788."

Vera smiled happily. He took the key in the closet and handed it to the lady.

Tiara invites Eilani to enter the elevator to the 7th floor.

Somehow Eilani felt back then. For sure he tried to strengthen himself whatever would happen later.

"Mommy won't come in! You just." Tiara handed the key in Eilani's hands. It was a bit heavy actually Eilani accepted it. But he wants to prove everything. He placed the card on the doorknob, and finally the door opened. Eilani slowly walked in and down the small hallway. He arrived in the living room. This is indeed the most luxurious room in this hotel so it has a living room and kitchen separate from the bed.

Eilani's steps were directed to the bed. What he saw on the bed made his heart seem to be pulled out of place.

Elvaro sat leaning against the head of the bed with his upper body plain while his lower half was covered with a blanket. And Stella was leaning against Elvaro's chest crying. The upper body is also plain.

"Good morning!" Eilani said with a trembling voice holding back the cries.

"Eye......!" Elvaro was shocked beyond measure when he saw Eilani in the room. He tried to get down but Stella hugged him tightly.

"Don't come down, El. Let Stella hug you. Enjoy your adultery."Eilani opens the wedding ring in her hand and throws it at Elvaro. The ring hit Elvaro's forehead. Elvaro quickly caught the ring before it fell to the floor and he jumped down from the bed. Eilani is further devastated when she sees her husband wearing only a boxer.

"I curse the day we first met. I will ask God to erase all my memories of you! I swear I will never forgive you!" shout Eilani.

"Ei..heard first!" Elvaro slowly approached.

"I hate you! I don't know you!" Eilani also ran outside the room. He did not even care about hitting Tiara who was standing at the door. Tiara only smiled at Eilani's destruction. He then stepped inside and looked at his son who was wearing his clothes in a hurry.

"Good, El. You ruined your own marriage. Mami salute you!" tiara said as she lifted her two thumbs up.

Elvaro didn't care about his mother's words. He immediately grabbed his car keys and went after Eilani.

***********

Elvaro now stands at the door of Eilani's uncle and aunt. He knocked on the door but no one opened it. Elvaro called his aunt Eilani's cell phone number repeatedly. But his call was always rejected.

Until finally, a message appeared from Eilani's aunt.

Don't look for Eilani anymore. We already know the truth. You are not worthy of our son.

For one more week Elvaro searched for Eilani. He did not even care about his condition that never took a bath and even rarely ate. Elvaro fainted from exhaustion and stress. He was rushed to the hospital by Ardy and Mami Tiara.

***********

Elvaro's tears flowed again as he clasped their wedding rings which he still kept.

Everything that has happened in the past is painful to remember.

"Maybe God granted Eilani's prayer that cursed me that day and asked that his memory be erased of me." Elvaro wiped his tears. Only in front of Ardy could she cry.

The sudden disappearance of Eilani makes Ardy and Laura's relationship run aground. Laura hates Ardy for conspiring with Elvaro.

"Maybe Eilani's memory never returns. Only then can I have it again. I'll make up for all your past mistakes and stupidities."

Ardy will talk but the door of the room is opened from the outside. The image entered with a sour face.

"Why El? Why don't you come to me, you just go to dinner with the nurse?" yelled Hysterical image.

"Partner! Slow down the sound ! I don't want any gossip in this office." Elvaro seemed angry because the door of the room was open and there could be someone passing by and immediately spread gossip.

Ardy who immediately took the initiative to get out and closed the door while standing guard at the door because he knew that Elvaro's secretary named Ayu, quite spicy mouth.

Meanwhile in the room Elvaro, Citra still put on her pouting face.

"Partner, can we talk later? I have a lot of work now. Soon Ardy and I will be out to review the toll road construction project."

"I'm coming!"

"Partner, you know the atmosphere there. Hot, dusty and we'll be there long."

"When do we have time to be together? I want to have a special time with you. I've been here a week but we haven't dated at all."

"Can we go on a date this weekend? Mami needs my attention because she's going to have eye surgery."

The image is still pouting. "I'd better go home. Watch out if you cancel our date this Saturday. I want us to date all day." The image kissed Elvaro's cheek and immediately left Elvaro's room.

***********

This is the happiness that Elvaro always comes to feel every time he comes home and hears the happy laughter of his mother who always seems to blend with the art in the kitchen.

"Good afternoon ....!" greet Elvaro.

"El, are you home?" Tiara smiled when she heard her son's voice.

Elvaro approached and immediately hugged his mother who was sitting in the dining chair. "Good afternoon, mommy. How are you today?"

"We're all having fun today, El. You're late to go home. We just finished drinking coffee and eating a cake made by Sister Ani. The cake is delicious. Unfortunately exhausted. Everyone is not satisfied just eating a piece" Tiara said with great pleasure.

"Of course strawberry cake made by Sister Ani is second to none. Tasty. Especially if you eat while still warm with capuccino coffee."

"Kok you know that what I made was strawberry cake?" eilani asked making everyone there also look at Elvaro. Because there's no cake left on the table.

"El, how do you know?" Tiara asked.

"You don't know, anyway? This room smells of strawberry and coffee capuccino? I'm also sure that your mouths all smell the same." Elvaro was trying to make a reasonable excuse. "I'm gonna take a shower and rest. Ned, wake me up after dinner?" Elvaro rushed out of the room before he was framed with another question.

"Do we smell strawberries?" Ned smelled his own body and mouth. "Looks yes. There's a strawberry scent."

Everybody laugh. And so is Eilani. But she was filled with big question marks on her head. Even though this room smells of strawberries, why does Elvaro know that the cake is delicious if it is still hot?

They finally broke up to prepare dinner. Eilani takes Tiara to her room for an afternoon bath.

Tiara was already able to bathe herself without Eilani's help anymore. When he finished bathing, he heard that Eilani was apparently talking to someone. Tiara was convinced that Eilani was on the phone. But his steps stopped when a name was mentioned.

"Don't forget it? Eilani is here always waiting. Yea....!

Tiara's heart stopped beating. That name, a name he had hated in the past. The name that made his youngest son ever slumped and almost plunged into the world of drugs again.

Will Tiara know the truth?
