LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Early Meeting

Elvaro felt his head turn low. But he tried to get out of the discotheque when he knew that soon there would be a raid from the police.

He had called Arby repeatedly, but his best friend was out of nowhere.

Elvaro felt that he was no longer strong. He knew that this drug would kill him. But he could no longer escape from this cursed item.

Heartbroken, that's what Elvaro feels right now. After 2 more years of love and Elvaro sure that this girl will be his last port, he was just left without a message. The last thing Elvaro heard was that his ex was married to someone else.

The red Lamborghini is already visible. Just a few more steps will get there. But his legs are no longer strong. He finally fell.

"Are you ok?"

That melodious voice made Elvaro open his eyes again. In front of him stood a beautiful, petite girl with an Asian face.

"Please help me. My car is red. Please take me away from here before I get caught by the police" Elvaro said with a more sidelined conscience. He handed over his car keys and was unconscious.

**********

Elvaro wakes up in a small room, his hands are infused and he smells a woman's perfume.

He tried to get up and sit down. There was pain in his hand that was infused to make Elvano want to pull it out.

"Don't!"

Elvaro turned towards the voice. A beautiful face that was dispelled by the sunlight that entered through the open window, making Elvaro like seeing an angel. Moreover, the woman was wearing all white clothes.

"Am I in heaven?" elvaro asked as he continued to stare at the girl.

"No. You're in hell."

"Huh?" Elvaro.

"Where would a drug addict go to heaven?" The girl approached and touched Elvaro's forehead.

"You're not hot anymore."

"So where am I?" ask Elvaro.

"In my house."

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Because I don't know where to take you. You were almost dead last night. I'm very at risk of bringing you here. Thankfully, my aunt and uncle are not there."

Elvaro was silent for a moment. He looked at his flushed hand. "Can you let this go?"

"Can. But you need to get to the rehab center."

"No!"

"You want to die? Your addiction is already in a very severe stage."

"What do you care?"

"That cares dong. We must love one another as we love ourselves. Because I love myself, I must love you too."

"Don't you know me?"

"Love the other without limits. Even a criminal we have to love."

Elvaro stared at the girl in front of him without blinking. "Are you an angel?"

"No. My name is Eilani Ningrum."

That was the beginning of their meeting until Elvaro finally wanted to undergo treatment in a rehabilitation center.

Several times Elvaro almost gave up because he was not strong with the pain that attacked his body but Eilani who often visited him in the rehabilitation center was always giving him spirit. And finally, after 6 months of living in the rehabilitation center, Elvaro was finally able to get out.

The first thing Elvaro did when he got out of there was to look for Eilani at the house where Eilani brought Elvaro first. There were only her aunt and uncle. They say that Eilani only comes home once every two weeks. The rest of them live in dorms.

Elvaro goes to Eilani's dormitory.

"Elvaro's? You can get out?" Eilani seems happy to see Elvaro.

That handsome guy smiled. "Did I interrupt your study time?"

"No. If we're studying we're not allowed to take guests."

"Can I take you out?"

"Now?"

"If you can."

Eilani smiled happily.

That was the beginning of their closeness. Whenever there was a chance, Elvaro always took Eilani out. Every night, there is a special time between them to send messages or call each other.

Their closeness became deeper when Eilani found out that Elvaro was able to speak Indonesian because mama Elvaro was Indonesian of Balinese-Manado descent.

Until finally, on a weekend, while the two were eating at a cafe located near the lake, Elvaro expressed his love for Eilani.

"I love you, Eilani."

Hearing Elvaro's words, Eilani who was while drinking, immediately choked. "You're not kidding, are you?"

"Why joke if it's a heart problem?"

Eilani looked at Elvaro without blinking. "I mean, who am I? I'm just an ordinary student who got lucky to go to Liverpool because my uncle and aunt work here. As for you, without you even telling me I know that you are not an ordinary person. The gap between us is too far."

Elvaro grabbed Eilani's hand and grasped it tightly. "Look at me. You are my life saver. I know, God gave me a second chance to change all because of you." (You are the savior of my life. I know, God gave me a second chance to change everything because of you.)

Eilani still hesitates.

"Did you never have feelings for me? Or, you actually have a fear of opening your heart?"

Eilani stared at Elvaro. "Without being your girlfriend, I'll still be your best friend. Friends who always support and support you."

Elvaro let go of one of his hands that held Eilani's hand. He then touched the girl's cheek and rubbed it slowly. "Please open your heart to me."

"I'm afraid of getting hurt. I'm not ready for a serious relationship anyway. I was 19 years old a month ago." Eilani finally revealed his heart. Which woman wouldn't go down with a man like Elvaro. But Eilani still uses his logic rather than his own feelings.

"He doesn't care no matter what age you are. I want to be with you. If it's necessary to convince you that I'm not messing with my feelings, I want to marry you."

"Elvaro.....!" Eilani's eyes so glazed over to see how persistent the guy convinced her.

"I love you, Eilani."

And that night, became the happiest night for Elvaro when Eilani finally accepted his love.

**********

There was a tightness in Elvaro's chest as he recalled the memories of when Eilani received his love. The man then stood up from his chair. He grabbed his car keys and cell phone from his desk drawer and left his study.

"Where are you going?" Ardy who was just about to enter the room Elvaro was surprised when he would touch the doorknob and the door was opened from the inside.

"You're home."

"Why indeed?" Elvaro asked back.

"Usually you are very disciplined with your hours. Is there something important?"

Elvaro smiles. "I want to see my mom."

"Mommy or the nurse?"

Elvaro did not answer his assistant's question. He immediately stepped into the elevator and left Ardy who seemed still curious.

Upon arriving home, Ned was surprised to see his master.

"Sir, why didn't you say you were going home so soon?" ask Ned. They did not prepare lunch for the master.

"There is no food?"

"There was. It's just not that special."

"Mommy's nurse ate?"

"Not yet."

"Prepare lunch for the two of us in the back garden. There's something I want to talk to him about." Elvaro then headed to his mother's room. As he opened the door, Eilani appeared to have just covered Tiara's body with a blanket.

"Mommy's asleep?" ask Elvaro slowly.

"Yes." Yeah."

Elvaro noticed Eilani's white skirt that looked dirty.

"What's the rook?"

"So the lady didn't want to eat. And he pelted me with soup."

"Jeez.., you're okay, right?"

Eilani. "It's a good thing the soup isn't so hot, sir."

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Let's have lunch and talk about something."

"But I'm changing clothes first?"

"All right."

30 Minutes later, the two were already sitting in the back garden. A round dining table is set there.

Elvaro was stunned to see Eilani's appearance. She wears a black skirt with a pink shirt. There was no nurse's hat and the long black hair was left in a beautiful way. Elvaro remembers how he liked Eilani's hair and forbade her from cutting it.

"Sorry sir, I don't wear nurse clothes anymore. You see, I didn't bring any spare nurse clothes. I promise that from tomorrow, I will bring a spare uniform" Eilani said as she sat in front of Elvaro and felt that the boy was watching her.

"No problem." Elvaro is slightly misbehaved because he believes that Eilani knows that Elvaro is paying attention to his appearance.

"Thank you."

"Eilani, may you not call me sir? Just call me by my name, El."

"El?" Eilani looked to be frowning his forehead. It seems he remembered something.

"Why?"

"El's name seems so familiar to me. I don't know...."

Elvaro hopes that Eilani remembers him. But if the woman remembers it, isn't it very risky that Eilani would hate her instead?

"Mr.eh..El, I've read my employment contract given by Mr. Ardy. Is my salary like that?" ask Eilani.

"Why? Less huh? Just name the amount you want. I'll definitely agree."

Eilani shook her head with a smile. "In fact I feel it's very much, El. That's almost 3 times my salary at the hospital. If you pay me more for fear of me leaving because you can't stand Madame Tiara's attitude, you don't have to worry. I promise, I won't give up until Madame Tiara is cured."

Elvaro wants to cry. He already knew Eilani's kindness. This girl was unyielding just like Eilani did to her first.

"Eilani, just accept the amount. I'm not going to change what's on the contract. Don't feel bad about what you're going to get."

"But ..."

"Please .....!" Elvaro clenched his hands together in front of his chest.

"All right." Eilani finally relented. "Can we eat now? I'm hungry."

"Please!" Elvaro was happy. Eilani's thin lips remind Elvaro how he first kissed the girl.

***********

"Happy birthday. Sorry, I didn't give you a special gift. You are confused about what gift to give. You already have everything." Eilani said when he finally wanted to come to Elvaro's apartment. "But I made you a cake."

Elvaro took the box of cookies Eilani had thrust at him. When he opened it, his eyes immediately sparkled to see there was a small tart decorated with candles with the number 24.

Eilani immediately took it out of the cake box, blaming the candle.

"Good birthday, El. Hopefully at this new age, you grow up, and the work is more successful, the study S2 can also be completed."

Elvaro happy. He nodded and blew the candle. Then Eilani cut the cake a little and fed Elvaro.

"Waw, delicious. Is this really what you did?"

Eilani's face immediately pouted. "Don't you believe me?"

Elvaro immediately hugged Eilani and without the girl guessing, after his embrace unraveled, Elvaro immediately kissed Eilani's lips. Very short but made the girl's eyes round.

"Why?" asked Elvaro to see Eilani surprised.

"You kissed me, El."

"Why? It's only natural that I kiss you. We've been dating for 3 weeks."

"But you kissed my lips. Usually only on the forehead or hands."

Elvaro raised next to his eyebrows. "Don't tell me this is your first kiss."

Eilani's face immediately flushed. "This was my first kiss. I've never been in a relationship."

Elvaro hugged Eilani. "So I'm your first man?"

Eilani nodded in Elvaro's arms. The boy kissed Eilani's lips again. Not as short as before and enough to make Eilani hot cold.

"I want to be first and last for you, Ei." whispered Elvaro with a heart overflowing with happiness.

***********

Their story is sweet, right?

What questions separate them?
