LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Do You Not Like Me?

During Tiara's eye surgery, Eilani chose to sit near Ned rather than near Elvaro. Because actually he felt his skin became sensitive if there was near the guy. Last night's events seemed unwilling to go from Eilani's memory and forced him to continue to remember how resigned he was in the arms of an Elvaro.

Elvaro was frankly, always showing a loving look at Eilani. No matter if the woman often glared at him because actually Eilani was ashamed of Ned who seemed to have understood what the gaze of the master on this beautiful sister meant.

"Ned, please buy me some cold mineral water. I'm so thirsty." Elvaro took out one red note. He looked at Eilani. "Ei, you want a drink too?" ask El.

"May." answered Eilani because he was thirsty and the operation only lasted 30 minutes.

After Ned left, Elvaro now moved his seat next to Eilani.

"Why you?" elvaro asked as he touched Eilani's hand. The woman immediately moved her hand away.

"What the hell are you doing, El? If anyone sees how? This is the hospital I work at."

"Why indeed?" Elvaro asked back. "I'll just tell you we're dating."

"What date? You have a fiancee, El."

"I told you that I don't love Citra. I just love you and I'll try to get your love. I don't care if you already have the fiancee of a pilot who will marry you later this year."

Eilani's eyes make. "You eavesdropped on me and Miss Tiara?"

"Not intentionally eavesdropping. Honestly, I'm sick of hearing that but I won't make me give up on getting you after what we went through last night."

Eilani's face instantly turned red. "That's a one night stand."

Elvaro clasped Eilani's hand firmly. No matter how hard the girl tried to let go. "Is it really just a one night stand? I can't believe you're that kind of girl."

"I am a widow, El. My fiancee's far away. I also need to get some warmth from a man."

"But, when I touched you last night, I felt like I was entering a virgin. I can feel you grimacing a little. It's like you haven't been touched for a long time."

"That's because yours is too big, El" Eilani said slightly whispering but making Elvaro laugh.

"And yours is a little fiance?"

"El.." -...." Eilani pinched the man's waist to stop teasing him. Elvaro grimaced but then laughed again.

"I like us like this. Reminds me of the past."

"Past time?"

Elvaro was surprised that he was speechless. Fortunately, Ned quickly came and brought some bottles of mineral water. Eilani pretended to stand up. "I'm going to the restroom" he said and left immediately. Eilani thought that he had to stay away for a while because sitting so close to Elvaro, especially with a touch of their skin made his body become hot.

Eilani washed his face in the sink then took a tissue to dry it. There were some memory pieces that started popping up in his head but were still blurry so Eilani had not been able to remember who it was.

After feeling refreshed, the woman immediately returned to the operating room. He saw that Citra was already there with a woman.

"That's his best friend non Citra" Ned said without Eilani asking but the man already knew what Eilani's eye meant.

"It's good that they're here."

"We all at home don't like Miss Citra. The person is beautiful but the judges are not stupid. Not married to the master alone is already pretentious in the house. Especially if Madame Tiara is not around. Once upon a time Mr. El was sick and Mrs Tiara was in Jakarta. Non Citra looked after Mr. El for a few days at home. And his attitude really made us all want to just run away from there." Ned spoke at length while whispering a little.

Eilani can see how Citra is always trying to have body contact with Elvaro. Starting from holding his hand, leaning on his shoulder even though it looks El did not reply to the physical touch at all.

Eilani's phone suddenly went off. His face immediately saw who was calling. Ned who had glanced at the screen of Eilani's phone immediately mocked the girl.

"Cie..cie...from my honey huh?"

Ned's loud voice made Elvaro glance towards them. Honestly, Elvaro was jealous to hear who called Eilani. Let alone seeing how happy Eilani was to receive that call. The woman was a little bit away from there. Not knowing what he was talking about because his voice was inaudible but Eilani looked so excited.

Shortly after, the door of the operating room opened. Dr Ayu came out still wearing green clothes, head coverings and masks.

"The operation went well. A little more Madam Tiara can already be moved to her room. Try not to let the patient talk too much. Don't duck and rest more." doctor Ayu's message. Eilani. He was happy because Madam Tiara's eye surgery was finally completed.

3 Hours later...

The image is still there with Elvaro. Citra's friend has gone home. Tiara just finished eating. The time has already shown at half 7pm. Ned himself was still there.

"Miss, may I have one hour's permission to leave? My fiance just came and I want to see him."

"Maybe, baby. I let you go for 3 hours. Here there are El, Citra and Ned who will take care of me. Give my regards to your fiancee, will you?"

"Good, madam." Eilani immediately left with his sumringah face while Elvaro's heart was burning with a deep sense of jealousy.

"No."

"Why not eat?"

"I'm just not hungry yet."

"You said you didn't eat this afternoon because of the pilgrimage to papi's tomb."

"Already, ah. You're bringel. Shrewish." Elvaro took off the spoon that was in his hand. He glanced at his watch and it had been almost 3 hours since Eilani's departure.

Citra did not continue eating . He took Elvaro away.

As the two approached the hospital lobby, a motorbike stopped there. Elvaro was wide-eyed when he saw that it was Eilani. The girl took off her helmet and handed it to the burly guy sitting in front of her. The guy took off his helmet as well and Elvaro knew the man as the man Eilani had met back then.

"See you....!" Eilani waved his hand after the guy kissed her cheek.

The image of watching Elvaro. "How can you be jealous to see the nurse being ushered by her boyfriend?"

Elvaro did not answer. He continued walking even slightly leaving Citra.

**********

Citra and Ned are home. Actually Citra forced Elvaro to go home with her because there are nurses who guard but Elvaro still forced to stay.

Tiara got up for a while to poop and drink her milk. After that he went back to sleep after being given painkillers because his eyes felt pain when the effects of the anesthetic were gone.

Eilani had already changed her sister's uniform with black training pants and a long-sleeved t-shirt. Elvaro was done and changed into the clothes that Ned had brought.

"Ei, you want to eat something?" elvaro asked when he saw Eilani was sitting on the sofa playing his phone.

"No. I was already full of food with my fiance."

Elvaro approached and sat down beside the woman. "What's up, El?"

"Why was that time when I asked, you said you didn't have a boyfriend?"

Eilani stared at Elvaro. The eagle's eyes looked at him. "Because we just got engaged. I just received his proposal when he came before her."

"So when you went out to eat at that mall, you just received his proposal? Then why is it on your phone that honey's name is written?"

Eilani frowned. "You're following me?"

"Eh, that time was unintentional. I went to the mall because I wanted to buy a birthday present for my cousin." Elvaro had to lie.

"Hanny Wijaya's name. He himself wrote his name on my phone with the spelling h-o-n-e-y because he thought it was the same he read. Why why?"

Elvaro holds Eilani's cheek. He stroked that smooth cheek with the back of his hand. "I don't want you to belong to that Hanny. I want you, El."

"I don't want to be with you because you belong to Citra. After all, our degrees are very much different. You're a rich man. Find a woman who is equal to you. Like an Image."

Elvaro. Both of his hands were on the girl's cheeks. "Gear me, El. Tell me you don't like me."

"I really don't like you, El" Eilani said softly even though her eyes didn't say that.

Of course Elvaro knew Eilani was lying. He who used to know this woman already knew the nature of Eilani. He can never lie.

"Tell me one more time that you don't like me."

"I don't like you, El." Eilani tried to convince his heart. However, their distance so close that the girl was afraid that Elvaro could listen to her heartbeat.

"You like me, Ei. I could feel it." then Elvaro lowered his head, Mel**at Eilani's lips that had been teasing her ever since. He took a slow sip, teasing Eilani until she opened her mouth, returning Elvaro's kiss and the two of them dissolved into a long, intoxicating kiss until they almost forgot they were in the hospital.

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

Eilani does not realize that what he is doing now is the encouragement of his feelings in the past who really love Elvaro. Because the painful thing had disappeared from his memory, Eilani thought that he was indeed in love with Elvaro's charm which was intoxicating.
