LOVE ME AGAIN, EILANI
Dream House

"Where's mami?" el asked as he saw Eilani alone in this back garden.

"The lady is teaching the children to sing. He also wants to have dinner here. So you just go, El. Let's get you home with the driver."

Elvaro. He took a seat beside Eilani. "I want to be here."

"Later Citra was angry. Poor thing, he just arrived. Must be a heavy miss."

El just smiled wryly. "I told you I don't have any feelings for her. Want to break off our engagement, I'm afraid of my mother's unstable condition."

"Yes. Madam should not be made too depressed. So that he may have the zeal to treat his eyes."

"Yes, sister. I'll obey all your orders as long as you want me to have dinner."

Eilani frowned. "I? Isn't Citra the one you should be having dinner with? I don't want to be called PHO."

"PHO?"

"Destroying people's relationships."

El laughs. "You didn't ruin our relationship. The relationship we had with us from the beginning was broken."

Eilani looked at Elvaro. "Why take me to dinner? I'm a widow, El. After all, the relationship between us is only a master and a maid."

"Eh.....!" Elvaro without touching Eilani's hand. "Who said we were masters and helpers? You have become a friend to my family. All the arts like you. If the late papi is still around, I'm sure he'll like you too."

"But it's still not good if we look like we're walking together."

"I'm not a real guy. I'm a widower too."

"Huh? You're not kidding, are you, El?"

Elvaro. "My wife and I separated because of my mistake. He forgot about me and didn't want to know me anymore. I wasn't a good person, Ei."

"And now you're a good man?"

Elvaro took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "I learned from my mistakes. That's why I don't want to make Citra hope. I'll cut off our relationship when mommy's fully recovered."

"Goodoo. Now I want to see Madam Tiara first?" Eilani stood up but Elvaro held back his hand.

"Ei, what about my dinner call?"

"If as a friend, I want to. But not in a place you used to visit with Citra huh? Afraid to meet later and Citra gets mad at me."

"How about dinner at my family's villa? It's on the outskirts of town and near the lake."

"Can too. Just send me the address when I come."

"All right."

"Now, can you let go of my hand?"

"Oh yeah....!" Elvaro became ashamed of himself when he was discovered that he still had not let go of the woman's hand.

**********

Eilani felt that this was something wrong but his little heart encouraged him to accept the invitation. Finally, after going through considerable consideration, Eilani decided to come to the address that El sent him.

An old wooden house looks beautiful. El came out of the house when he heard the sound of a car from outside. It turned out to be the taxi that Eilani had rented.

After paying the taxi fare, Eilani also stared in admiration at this villa. "Waw the place is so beautiful. I like.....!" puji Eilani's.

"This is my Oma's house. Oma is an architect. She is indeed a Balinese woman who married opa from Manado. Our family spent our childhood here because my mother was an only child. After I returned to Bali, I renovated this place and sometimes we spent weekends here. Comein! I think it's gonna rain."

Eilani followed in Elvaro's footsteps and the girl looked very amazed by all the furniture there. Everything is made of wood. Even the floor is like that.

"I once had the concept of wanting a house like this. Ls i? How does it feel like Dejavu." Eilani tried to remember something.

Elvaro smiles. Of course he remembers. Because the concept of a house like this Eilani had told him.

Elvaro, who was an architect, drew it......

**********

"What do you think?" elvaro asked showing the results of his hand graffiti. Eilani, who was arranging the food on the table, stopped her activities for a while and looked at the paper that her husband was offering.

Elvaro hugged his wife from behind. "Whatever I'll do for you. What if we make it in Bali?"

"Room?" Eilani turned his body. "I was born there, too, El. I love going back there."

"Yes. I have a villa inherited from my omaku. I want to make your dream home there."

"Ah dear...." Eilani was impatient and immediately kissed her husband. Of course the kiss was greeted with great enthusiasm by Elvaro.

"Eh....." Eilani releases a kiss between them when he realizes that they can keep going if no one wants to give up. "Eat it's gonna be cold."

"Once we eat, shall we continue?"

"That's you." Eilani pinched her husband's waist.

"Ih.. You like it too, right?" El countered pinched his wife's cheek. The two laughed together. It felt so beautiful at the time.

No one ever thought that their sweet story would break in an instant after the return of the girl from El's past.

***********

Back to the present.....

Eilani's steps came to a halt as he was about to enter the bathroom. I don't know why it seems like this bathroom model he had thought of before.

"Why not go in?" elvaro asked to see Eilani just standing in front of the door.

"Come, El. Get into this house, see all the pieces. Even up to this bathroom, it makes me think that I've been here before. Or at least have thought of the concept of a house like this." Eilani was feeling a bit dizzy. "Dizziness me, El."

"Sit down first." Elvaro swiftly restrained Eilani's body and invited him to sit on the living room sofa. The doctor once told her not to remember anything too hard. It will make him feel a headache.

"You need anything? Wanna drink? Or want to eat again?" asked Elvaro attentively.

"No. I feel good, though. If I eat later, I'm afraid I'll get sleepy."

"It's okay. Just sleep here."

Eilani glanced to the right side where Elvaro was sitting then looked back to the front. "The danger!"

"Tok danger anyway?"

"We're not teenagers anymore, El. We've even been married before. We have already experienced the sweetness of an intimate relationship. I'm afraid we'll make a wrong move."

"There's nothing wrong if we're both interested in each other, Ei." Elvaro held back Eilani's hand that would stand up to make the woman sit back.

"El....!" Eilani did not dare to look at the guy. He immediately turned his face away. Trying to pull his hand from Elvaro's grasp but the guy gets stronger holding his hand.

"I thought, if I fell in love with you, Ei" said Elvaro without being able to hold back his feelings.

Eilani. "You may not love, El. We have only known 3 months. Maybe you're just amazed to see that I'm finally able to survive with your mom from the many nurses who've worked for your mom."

I've known you for over 7 years, Ei. Your kindness, your tender heart, and all about you that was once a part of me. Inner Elvaro without daring to reveal it.

"It doesn't take long to fall in love with a woman like you, Ei. I'm not just amazed at you. But I can feel a vibration in my heart whenever I get close to you." Elvaro held the woman's chin and forced her to stare at him.

"Ei."

"I used to say I was so cute to my husband that I didn't know him well. I finally suffered when I married her. I don't want to fall in the same hole again. I'm sorry, but I don't trust you, El. Our degrees are different. I'm just a poor nurse trying to get my life together by coming here. You are the CEO of 2 major companies. And I'm sure that Madame Tiara won't approve of our relationship." Eilani pulled his hand slowly which was within Elvaro's grasp.

"Can't we just be friends?" ask Eilani.

Elvaro. "How can I be your friend when my heart wants to make you my companion?"

Eilani closed his eyes for a moment. He then stood up and was about to leave but Elvaro hugged him from behind.

"I don't know if you have a little taste for, Ei." whispered and then kissed the nape of the woman made Eilani feel once felt this closeness.
