Waiting for Elena's Love
53
The sound of knocking the door broke his smile, some moments after ending his video call with "prospective husband" made him unable to stop the smile.
"Come in."
The door of his study was opened, two girls he knew very well entered his room, she was Syafira and Hana.
"Good afternoon, miss." said Syafira.
"Oh hi... Amazing surprise, what's the need?" Elena said hello.
Elena also stood up to welcome the presence of Syafira, not forgetting to have a cipiki.
"Do I bother you, miss?" Syafira asked awkwardly.
"Absolutely not, isn't it past work hours, so it doesn't matter you're bothering me." Reply Elena.
"Pak Bagus asked me to accompany him to the Western restaurant anniversary, but he said the show began in 2 hours, which is why he asked me to wait in your room, he said, is it all right, miss?"
"Of course not, can you rest here, or go to my room? that connecting door, is the way to my private room, please, you can sleep there if you want,"
Elena pointed at a door that was almost disguised by a bookshelf, sure enough when the bookshelf shifted, there appeared a private room, not too spacious, but comfortable and quiet.
Not only Syafira was surprised, but Hana who had worked there for several days also seemed unable to hide her shock,
"Sister, since when was there this room, why did I just find out?" ask Hana.
"From a long time ago," Elena replied casually.
While Syafira and Hana are busy enjoying Elena's private room, the owner of the room returns and sits himself on the sofa, the door of the room that was deliberately left open makes Nice just arrived, go straight in and sit himself by Elena's side.
"Tumben Haris isn't coming?"
"He's busy, aren't you guys meeting on the project?"
"No, maybe he's doing his job at home, because on the project there's Mark,"
Elena nodded, "you're invited too?"
"Yes,"
"When did you know Alex?"
"For a long time, I remember he was a loyal customer, wherever the group HS project was, he always came and became the first buyer, shophouse or stand in the mall, he said, Even its new restaurant in ZZ Lion country, has just been renovated and enlarged using the services of HS group"
"By his business skills as well" Elena muttered.
"Do you regret ever rejecting his love?" Nice ignorant smile, "aaaaawwww ... " Good screamed loudly, the pain suddenly whack his waist, as a result of Elena's pinch.
"When you think about it first, don't talk about it,"
"Yes .. well I'm sorry, but this vow hurts a lot," nice still grimacing with the pain in her waist.
...****************...
Western restaurant anniversary event.
That night, Elena was deliberately present a little late and walked down between Hana and Syafira, so as not to attract attention, even though it was provided an exclusive table near the restaurant owner, which was also very popular, Elena chose to sit at the same table as Bagus, Hana and Syafira.
The atmosphere seems so familiar, each employee like a close acquaintance with their boss, maybe that's how Alex builds closeness with his employees, he said, unintentionally looking at Elena looking at someone she knew so well, she was Silvia.
The woman did not seem awkward standing by Alex's side, what they were related to, that was the first question that came to her mind.
"Do you know the woman standing by Alex's side?" Elena whispered in Nice's ear.
"That's his wife ... "
Elena widened in surprise "uwaooow" Elena parroted herself, "Thin girl, it turned out ..." Elena laughs at their past, Elena explains dozens of times that she has no feelings for Alex, but facing Silvia's misunderstanding makes her dizzy.
...****************...
The flashback
Silvia stared blankly at the small fish pond belonging to the school, jealousy really controlled her heart, so she could not smile even a little.
When Elena arrived and wrapped her right arm around Silvia's shoulder, Elena did not not not know that Silvia had long harbored sincere feelings for Alex, only that Elena acted as a temple not knowing what.
Silvia looked at Elena who was now smiling sweetly at her side "Did I really not have a chance to be on her side?" silvia asked in despair.
"Of course you have, you have, actually,"
"That's because she's blind, not seeing a pretty girl like you so crazy crazy about her." Undeniably, paras silvia is indeed beautiful charming, curly hair wavy, scattered along his back, skin white clean, and natural lashes, making it look cute and beautiful like a barbie, but because hanging out with Elena makes Silvia also not so pay attention to the beautiful side of her, too,
Elena who since childhood loved to play and look perfunctory, making her face look sweet and always cheerful.
"Certainly, so should we take him to the ophthalmologist?"
"Yes, if we need to drag him,"
Crisp laughter adorned the lips of the two teenage girls.
I don't know how many times Elena explained that she did not have any feelings for Alex, but Silvia did not understand, so Elena had to be extra patient to entertain and face the jealous attitude of her best friend.
...🌻🌻🌻...
In a different day and place.
Alex, who had just arrived in the parking lot, approached Elena who had also just parked her favorite blue mat.
"What's wrong, Lex, I've said many times, I don't have any feelings for you, other than the feelings of a friend, why don't you understand too" Elena said, Tired to explain his feelings to Alex and Silvia, but the two people did not understand, let alone understand Elena's current position.
"But .. I can't forget how I feel about you, Elena, either,"
"You two are my best friends, why doesn't anyone want to try to understand me?" at that time Elena felt like crying, there was no one among them who appreciated her attitude who just wanted to make friends.
"My feelings have long been wanting me to lose, but I can't, so please help you understand my feelings, why do you only understand silvia feelings, but I also want to be understood," Alex was getting frustrated.
Alex grabs both sides of Elena's shoulder, but quickly Elena brushes over, Elena looks at Alex with a sigh, "So whenever you won't accept my feelings?" alex asked, his gaze hopeful.
"You know exactly what the answer is, don't ask me to say it" Elena replied.
"Help listen to me this time, please" asked Alex to say, "I promise, after this I will never ask you to accept my feelings,"
Elena begins to consider Alex's request, not because she likes Alex, but wants to end the conflict that has tormented her lately.
"I promise to take our school to the finals, and I want you to come and see the inter-school basketball game at the Finals, if our school wins this game, then, promise me you'll accept my feelings, I don't care, even if we have to date quietly behind silvia, but if I fail, I promise I'll forget how I feel about you,"
What a difficult request, if received he will hurt silvia if rejected he will hurt Alex, oh god why do You put me in such a difficult position, like this, it's really a hard choice, Elena spoke to herself in her heart.
The thought haunts her, yes if she loses, she can still keep silvia's feelings, but if she wins, her own feelings will be hurt because she has lied to her best friend, but this indistinct conflict really has to end, otherwise Elena might die young thinking about it.
"All right, I'll come,"
Finally, with Elena forced to agree to Alex's request, really Elena really hopes and prays that their school loses in the final later, hoping that he will be free from this conflict that is not clear at the end of this, no matter if afterwards he was hated by friends throughout school.
But without them realizing it, the conversation was heard by someone who should not have heard, the girl could not hold back her tears, hurried him to run out of the school gate, he stopped entering the classroom, he was unable to hold his tears, he just wanted to run away for a moment enjoying the heartbreak that now whack his feelings.
