Waiting for Elena's Love
67

The POV Haris

People say, the greatest heartbreak is being separated from the most precious person in life, that's me, at my very young age, I lost the most precious person in my life, I lost a mother, the one who loved me most sincerely, a malignant disease gnawed my mother's body, until finally her body was no longer able to resist.

My deep sorrow discourages me from being close to any girl, I feel like I hurt my mother when I feed her to another woman, My mother is the woman who is forever the occupant of my heart, because of that, I feel like I'm hurting my mother, I reject all the girls who express their feelings for me.

That was how I was before I met him.

Meeting a sweet girl who was a little wayward during her school days, meeting her made me forget my sorrows for losing my mother.

At first I could not speak, I was silent, really just silent and enjoying her beautiful face, the girl was climbing the fence, because she was late to school, she said, and asking for my help to help her climb, I was like a bewitch when I accepted her request, but I have no regrets because afterwards, she gave me her sweet smile.

The second time, I accidentally met him in the parking lot, and I was sad because he no longer remembered me, but my heart was pounding happily when he saw him again, at that time he looked dazed, but he was still very sad, I don't know what he's thinking.

And when I was the winner of my school basketball team, I saw her cheering and screaming happily, it was the prettiest smile I've ever seen, maybe her friends would think the girl was crazy, because he cheered happily when his school basketball team lost the game, but to me, the victory trophy means nothing, but his happy shout is the best gift for me.

The third time I saw her was during the freshman orientation, accidentally the corner of my eyes caught her beautiful face in confusion, hopefully approaching her, I don't know if I just hope God brings her closer to me, and it turns out that God really brings her closer to me, we belong to the same group, even she's the only girl in our group.

That was the beginning of our introduction, he was really plain and cheerful, not even remembering that we had met, but it doesn't matter to me, I want to always be around him, I want to be around him, even on the second day of our orientation it was just as late, we were serving the punishment together at that time, who would have thought we were getting closer, and I felt like God was getting closer to us.

And that's how our closeness runs naturally, with 2 other friends of ours, we live a period of student memories and joy.

My world seems to stop spinning, when he rejects me, my pride is very hurt, destroyed as my feelings crumble.

But not always failing is sad, in the midst of my despair, a speck of hope appears, the hope to become a better figure.

With determination as strong as steel I left my country, for the sake of forging myself to be the best figure, whether I do not understand 100 % what the words of Aaron at that time, did not understand, but my conscience says I have to be a better person, for Elena to see who I am.

Difficult and happy, failed and rose, it became a daily meal, finished college, I spent my time working part-time, and after work I returned to lonely friends, somehow Elena's shadow didn't disappear, the more I wanted to forget her, as if she was getting more and more clingy in memory.

Just a row of old photos accompanying my longing, a longing that seemed to give me no pause to breathe.

Until 8 years passed, I finally had the opportunity to return to my country, really did not intend to be close to him, but fate seemed to be impartial to me, even in the first minutes of my arrival, God brought us back, God brought us together again, she changed, the adult version of Elena that just got more and more enchanting, making my heart again pounding, and beating great.

It turns out that my love has not completely died, he only fell asleep for a moment, then woke up again when the Lord reunited me with him, until a determination was said, this time I will not give up and fail.

And here I was, coming back just to question the seriousness of my feelings, it was not easy for me to get back close to her, but in fact Elena still occupied a special place, because with just a little chatter brought us back closer.

Whether this is called misfortune or luck, the tragedy of the night made our parents want us to get married, I don't care if Elena loves me or not, as long as she's willing to walk with me, I will bestow all my love for her, being the first to hear her grievances and happy stories.

...****************...

Haris looked back at the clock that circled his wrist, he began to fret restlessly, his heart was not calm because until this moment his future wife had not also given news, since waking up her lips continue to review the smile considering the events of the previous night, but she was overwhelmed with disappointment, while the phone no Elena could not be contacted, immediately her smile faded.

Even throughout the endless days he tried to contact the girl, but nothing came of it.

Even a few times Mark was the target of his anger, his assistant and coworkers were just silent, a few years to know Haris, making him understand that Haris was fretting, because he was so angry.

"If I may know, sir, what has been bothering you all day?" mark asked after they finally finished the job today.

"She hasn't heard from Mark since I called her this morning, but there's no answer yet." Haris leaned his back on the back of the chair, while his eyes continuously stared at the screen of his cellphone.

"If you're so excited, why don't you try calling his office? who knew she was there?"

"Already, they said Elena didn't go to the office today,"

Mark was silent no longer dare to propose, just pray a lot so that he did not die young. "Patience first sir, maybe the lady is very busy, I'm sure soon the lady will contact you."

"How do you know, if he'll call me soon, you psychic?"

'Patience, patience in the love of God' Mark said, "It's late, sir, there's no way a lady will work one night, only Mr. Haris will do that."

"What did you say just now?" Haris glared furiously, making Mark stutter again.

"My point is, stop for a minute, sir, forget about work, you're getting married soon, don't you want to plan a honeymoon instead of planning endless work."

Mark finally revealed his heart, pity Haris, he was like losing his life while working, not caring about eating, let alone time off.

Only Elena could make him stop the job for a moment, whether the magnet is owned by his future wife, to make it this secret only because of Elena.

"Okay sir,"

But Haris had not yet stepped out, Nice who had just come walking past him just like that, "What's wrong with your face? it's not usually that your face shrinks, is there a problem?" Haris sees the unusual look on his best friend.

"Yes, but later after your wedding, I'll tell you."

"Promise dad?"

"Yesaaa ... " Good answer lazy. "Why yourself? Haven't seen Elena?"

"Kok know?"

"Your expression is too clear, and easy to read,"

...****************...

Finally Haris had to give up, his fingers almost numb, because since morning tried to call his wife Candidate, but until now has not received an answer.

extreme fatigue makes her eyelids close immediately.

But moments after his eyes were closed his phone rang, half conscious should pick up his phone.

"Have you slept?" The soft voice across there asked.

"Mmm... Why did you just call?"

"Sorry, I'm busy today, so I don't have time to hold a cell phone."

"I miss you," Haris still scatters.

"Me to," Elena replied.

This time Haris smiled to himself.

"Tomorrow morning I return to the capital,"

"And the first person you want to meet is?"

"You .. "over there Elena blushed in embarrassment "Well get some rest, see you tomorrow." Elena also turned off her call.
