LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Coercion

There was a smile on Elvaro's face as he exited his bedroom balcony and saw Eilani pushing his mammoth wheelchair.

He stopped the wheelchair. Eilani massaging Tiara's back touched Elvaro's heart. He remembered how cruel the mother was in treating Eilani. Unsatisfied with insulting Eilani at the hospital where she interns, Tiara humiliates Eilani by signing her home.

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

"Do you not understand what I am warning you? Stay away from my son!" tiara said while traveling to the house contracted by Tiara's uncle and aunt. Fortunately, Eilani's aunt and uncle had gone to work. Eilani works as a nurse in a nursing home while Eilani's uncle works as a driver at the home of one of the conglomerates whose wife is also Indonesian.

"Mrs..me....!" Eilani will talk but Tiara quickly grabbed the girl's hair.

"You want some money? How much do you want to ask? I can give it as long as you leave my son."

"Mommy, what the hell is this?" Elvaro suddenly appears and pushes his mom and pulls Eilani into his arms.

Eilani's cry instantly broke.

"Mommy should go and never come back here. Whatever happens I will never leave Eilani even I will marry her" said Elvaro firmly making Tiara wide-eyed.

"You're crazy, El? This woman will only deceive you. He's just looking for the benefit of you."

"I know who, Eilani. You don't have to doubt her sincerity. He doesn't even want to be with me. I'm the one who's crazy and chasing after her" said Elvaro firmly upset Tiara and left immediately.

"Dear, I'm sorry." Elvaro immediately invited Eilani to sit on the sofa and stroked the girl's head. "Is anyone sick?"

"No." Eilani. "El we just broke up, huh?"

"I don't want to!"

"Your mother will forever disturb us. I also don't want you to get into a fight with your own family."

"But I ....!"

Elvaro instantly silenced Eilani's mouth with a kiss. "Let's get married."

"But,.El. I'm still going to college."

"Your lecture will soon be over."

"El, I'm only 19. I want to get married when I'm 24 or 25."

"I don't want to wait long, baby. It'll give mami a chance to separate us."

"What if because of our marriage you end up losing your inheritance?"

"Are you afraid of living poor with me?"

Eilani. "I'm used to poverty, El. But what about you?"

Elvaro stroked Eilani's face. "I wouldn't dare ask you to marry me if I wasn't sure of myself. I have a job outside of my family's company."

Eilani brushed off Elvaro's hand on his cheek. "I'm not ready to get married, El."

Elvaro's heart was upset that Eilani kept rejecting him. Eventually, a crazy idea popped into his head. Only in this way, Elvaro could make Eilani marry him.

A week after the incident, Elvaro took Eilani camping alone. At first Eilani hesitated but finally he agreed too because he knew Elvaro could not mess around in the tent because each of them would sleep in his own sleeping bag.

However, Elvaro who was desperate to marry Eilani, mixing the drug vapors*ng in the coffee they drank. Eilani can't control himself. He also knew if he rejected the power of the medicine, he would definitely die.

When everything was over, Eilani could only cry out miserably with the pain in the core of his body.

"Ei..., I'll take responsibility."

Eilani stared intently at Elvaro. "What did you put in my drink? That damn medicine, right? You did that on purpose because you slept with me, right?"

"Ei, listen to me, I....!"

"Let go! Don't touch me! I hate you, Elvaro. I hate you so much." cried Eilani hysterically. He was very disappointed that Elvaro forced his will on Eilani's body.

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

"Sir.....!"

Elvaro's daydream is stopped because Ned called him.

Elvaro looked back at his yard, saw Eilani still massaging his mother's body. Now on his feet.

"Sir, there's a call from Miss Citra. He said he called your cell phone but didn't pick up either" Ned said, handing over the cordless landline.

Elvaro seems uninspired but Ned has already received the call.

"Hallo Image....!" greet Elvaro as he stepped inside the room. Ned followed. The man prepared Elvaro's clothes.

"Darling, you've been having a hard time being contacted this week. Too busy to forget me?" there was the sound of a spoiled image from across. The woman who works as an entrepreneur is also in Singapore because of her family business.

Citra is a mature woman who is 29 years old. He saw Elvaro fall in love with him from the first moment. And his love is welcome because Tiara considers Citra as the right woman to be with her youngest son.

"I'm a lot of work, Cit. Anyway I'm busy taking care of my mom."

"We're getting married, baby. Mami Tiara's business let me handle it."

"I'm not ready to get married, Cit. Excuse me. I'm going to take a shower, right? Get ready for the office."

"Ih....Elvaro´s. You like that. We just talked."

"Let me call again. Bye." Elvaro immediately disconnected the phone and stepped into the bathroom.

Elvaro never expressed love for Citra. That woman first said love. And because Tiara kept pushing her, Elvaro finally agreed to go through the relationship without any feelings. He thought that Citra would be bored because Elvaro was very indifferent. In fact, it had been over a year and the girl turned out to be unyielding.

After the shower, Elvaro immediately changed his clothes and headed to the dining room. His face immediately smiled to see his mother was sitting in front of the dining table even though she was still using her wheelchair.

"Good morning, mom." Elvaro approached and hugged his mother. She kissed the top of her head and sat next to her mother. Eilani is on the other side of Tiara. He saw that he had just finished feeding Tiara and Elvaro was more than happy to see the plate filled with food his mother was empty.

"Breakfast, El. Don't go to work on an empty stomach" Tiara said.

"Yes, mi. I'm excited for work to see my mom eat. I'm sure that mommy will be healed" Elvaro said as he glanced at Eilani who was also staring at him. The sight of those who met made Elvaro's heart beat very fast. The guy feels like he's in love with this girl again.

"El, mommy wants to go to your papi's grave. Take mami, right? Or do you have an important job today?" ask Tiara.

"No, mi. Let Ardy stop him. I'll take mommy to papi's grave later so I'll be in the office."

Tiara nodded. "Call aunt Narni to help you get changed. Let sister Ani have breakfast first."

The woman in her 40s came and pushed her wheelchair.

"Thank you, Ei. This is the first time my mom wants to go to her grave papi" Elvaro said sincerely.

"Maybe miss kangen. I'll go back for breakfast...."

"Eh." Elvaro holding the girl's hand made Eilani surprised to see her wrist held by Elvaro.

"Hope here so I can have friends. Tired of having to eat breakfast every day."

Eilani pulled his hand slowly and sat down in front of Elvaro.

"El, tomorrow the plan is to take the lady to the ophthalmologist to check her eyes again. It was also if Madam Tiara agreed." Eilani said starting a conversation between them.

"I hope my mom agrees. Thanks for your patience with my mom, huh?"

"I know your mom's a good person."

Elvaro just smiled. Suppose you still remember what mom did to you, Ei.

1 hour later, they were already in the tomb of his papi Elvaro. Tiara cried bitterly because she could not see the gravestone of her husband. He could only wipe it with his hands.

Elvaro helps his mami place flowers on top of the tomb. After that, assisted by Ned, Madam Tiara was raised back to the car.

However, Eilani was still standing in front of the tomb. Look at him without blinking.

"Ei, what's wrong?" ask Elvaro.

"When I read the name Steward Evans, I seemed to know that name in my past. I don't know." Eilani smiled as he shook his head. "Maybe Mr. Stewart once came to the hospital. I don't know."

Elvaro's chest trembled with a sense of what it was. He remembered how his papi defended Eilani and supported their relationship. Could it be that Eilani had not forgotten him?

"Let's go home!" take Eilani and step back. However, just a few steps away, Eilani turned around again. His eyes looked back at Elvaro's papal headstone. Then he stepped again and got into the car.

Did something painful make Eilani's memory paralyzed when he had an accident? Thank you for supporting my mother here
