LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Elvaro Doesn't Want to Lose

Elvaro invited Laura to sit on the sofa so that they would be more relaxed to talk.

"What did Eilani send you here?" ask Elvaro impatiently.

"Yes. Because Eilani doesn't want to see you anymore. He promised Hanny. El, don't bother Eilani. In 2 weeks she's getting married."

"No. I'll keep bothering him because he's mine."

"El, I know how your story is . I know how hurt Eilani was. Although in reality you never slept with Stella, what you did by signing Stella at the hotel and lying to Eilani, that is not justified. Because you know for yourself what Eilani's life principle is."

Elvaro. "I knew. And I'm so sorry about that. For 5 years I searched everywhere for garbage I finally decided to go back to Indonesia. I was close to one girl. That was at the insistence of my mother. But my heart, only for Eilani. Especially when I first saw her, it was like I was regaining my lost life. Eilani doesn't remember me. But I've been honest with him about everything that's happened. Was it wrong of me to be with him? His body even reacts to my touch."

"Eilani can't undo everything she promised Hanny. He loves Aaron. He may start to feel something with you. But he wants Hanny and Aaron in his life. I've repeatedly persuaded him to give you a second chance. But last night he decided to hasten your marriage. Maybe this week, your marriage will officially end. Because Eilani has asked a lawyer there to take care of it. I can't stop it."

Elvaro closed his eyes. It was so painful to hear all the effort Eilani had put in to get away from him.

"I'm going to go after her even if she's married to Hanny. No matter who thinks I'm crazy, a player, or whatever their nickname is, I'm going after Eilani."

Laura saw solemnity on Elvaro's face as she said that.

There is a sense of tightness in the heart of the girl when she realizes the difficulty of uniting love.

"Then, I'll go home, El?"

"When are you going back to England?"

"Maybe after Eilani married Hanny. I happen to get a residence permit for 30 days. So I'll make the most of my time here."

"If you need anything, just tell me. Maybe you want a vehicle? I can ask one of my drivers to take you anywhere."

"Thank you."

"Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

"I'm quite comfortable living in Eilani's apartment. Eilani now sleeps more in Hanny's apartment. So I used Eilani's room alone."

"Eilani slept in Hanny's apartment?"

"Yes. Their units are on the same floor and just next door."

Elvaro's heart was breaking even more. Imagining Eilani in the same bed as Hanny while hugging her broke her heart. Really, Elvaro is not willing.

"Is that so?"

"I'm going home first, right?" Laura stood up and immediately left Elvaro's room. He immediately headed towards the elevator and pressed the down button. Soon the elevator door opened and Ardy was the one who had just come out.

"Laura? You want to go home?" ask Ardy. He just drove Seren to bring it.

"Yes" answered Laura and stepped into the elevator.

Ardy looked at Laura. But before the elevator doors closed completely, the man held the elevator door with his hand and stepped in.

"What's wrong?" ask Laura.

"What are you talking about with Elvaro?" ask Ardy while pressing the button to the top floor is the rooftop.

"Why are we going upstairs?" ask Laura.

"I just want to know what you're talking about. So I know how to calm Elvaro down if he goes berserk."

"Where's your wife?"

"It's back to the hospital."

"Don't he get mad if he finds out we're in the rooftop alone?"

"What do we do to make him angry?"

"I could feel him looking at me with a dislike look. It seems he knows who I am."

They finally arrived at the rooftop. There is a building like a cafe.

Ardy took Laura to sit at one of the tables there.

Laura told Elvaro everything she said.

"Pity. I'm sure El will be destroyed. But how else? Whether Eilani remembers it or not, she doesn't want El anymore."

"Please advise Elvaro not to pursue Ei again? I'm afraid he and Hanny will fight."

Ardy nodded even though he himself did not know if he was able to do it because he actually understood the recklessness and madness of his best friend.

"If there's nothing to talk about anymore, can I go home?" ask Laura. Indeed, he felt uneasy sitting together with Ardy in this quiet place.

"OK." Ardy stood up. But just a few steps, he held Laura's arm. "What about you? What are you going to do when you get back to England?"

"Back to work as a nurse. But in another hospital. Because before I came here, I resigned."

"You don't want to give your fiance a chance?"

Laura shakes. "I don't want to. Cheating is like cancer. Once spread, it is difficult to cure. He could be loyal at this time. But who dares to guarantee that he won't do it again when we're married? I am thankful that God showed me all his lies before we got married. Because, if it happens when we're married, I might choose to stay because of my principle that marriage is only once in a lifetime."

Ardy nodded. Indeed, he was sad to see Laura who had not yet obtained her happiness.

"Laura, should you be happy huh?"

Laura nodded. And somehow, all of a sudden he hugged Ardy very tightly.

"Thank you for caring about me. I'll be happy, Ardy. Just like you have found your happiness." Laura let go of her embrace. The two looked at each other. The story of the past that must be separated even though it is not the fault of both of them.

Ardy holds Laura's cheek. "I will pray for your happiness. If you've found a suitable man, don't forget to invite me to your wedding, huh?"

Laura's tears flowed. Honestly, deep down, he still holds love for the man who once filled his life for almost 5 years. "You will definitely be the first guest on the guest list." Laura hugged Ardy back. She remembers how Ardy cried when Laura decided to. Because of her selfishness, because she defends her best friend Eilani, Laura does not consider her own feelings. He cried deeply remembering his folly in the past. If only he had not followed his emotions, he would have been married to Ardy at this time.

When their embrace came back, Laura boldly kissed Ardy's lips. At first, Ardy was surprised. She does not return Laura's kiss but because Laura's lips tease with her touch, Ardy consciously returns the kiss. (Oh....Ardy, get ready you're in the bullies here🤣🤣).

When the kiss finally ended. Laura smile. His thumb removed the lipstick now stuck to Ardy's lips.

"I'm sorry Ardy. I didn't mean to disturb your life. I don't want to make your wife hurt." Laura let go of the two lands that were still hugging Ardy's waist. He took a step but only a few steps, he turned his body.

"Ardy, before I leave, before I disappear from your life, I want to give up my chastity to you. If you want to accept it, just tell me." Laura turned her back and immediately got into the elevator.

Ardy was still standing in his place. Laura's words remind Ardy of their past stories. In the past, Ardy was so eager to sleep with Laura. Laura always refused. Ardy had even trapped Laura by giving her war medicine*ang but Laura still managed to run away from him. Now, the woman voluntarily wants to give what Ardy has always wanted. Does Ardy have to turn it down?

(this Ardy story is not a real story that exists in the life of El and Ei huh? This is just a spice to sweeten this novel 😅😅🙏🙏).

*********

"Ei, please help in the emergency room. There are some patients who are victims of car accidents." shouted Niken, the head nurse in the ER.

The real Eilani will come home soon running into the IGD room. He kept his bag on the nurse's desk and soon saw several patients who appeared to be quite badly injured.

"Please take care of that bule woman, Ei. He seems a bit bad." said doctor Vishnu.

Eilani approached the cage where the bule woman was lying. The woman seemed to be conscious and complaining of pain.

When Eilani noticed the face of the bule woman, he seemed to remember someone.

"Name Stella. Tourists from England" said Niken who was standing next to Eilani.

Stella's? Eilani's heart felt pain hearing that name.

*********

Well..lho.....Stella showed up again?
