EL (EN) Dless Love
Face Poker
El smiled at the half-century woman who was busy in the kitchen, the girl walked over to notice how nimble the woman was with all the equipment there.
He remembered the grandmother who was just as agile when she was in the kitchen.
El smiled miris, he suddenly wanted to eat woku belanga chicken and chicken rica-rica that became his favorite.
The recipe comes from the family of the Manado-blooded grandmother. He wants to eat Brudel made by the grandmother with a lot of cheese topping or klapertart with raisins and walnuts are abundant.
El didn't realize that she was crying, now the tears had become so cheap for her.
As the girl raised her face, her gaze met the woman's gaze. El insisted on smiling even though her tears kept flowing in contrast to her smile.
"Sorry Tan, sorry..." Said El trying to hold back his cries.
Aunt Sonia smiled, she wiped her hands on the clean napkin, opened the apron then walked towards El.
"I must be really ugly right now" El said again as he wiped the tears on his cheek. His vision became blurred because of the cooling glasses he used to hide his puffy eyes filled with steam from his breath and also because of tears.
"It's still pretty"
El forced to smile, when he heard the word come out of the mouth of the woman in front of him.
"If it still feels crowded, it's okay you can cry.no one will be banned. Crying and feeling unwell is human"
"Sorry..sorry..." El sobbed again, only that word kept coming out of his mouth after he had managed to control himself, El felt unworthy to accept all the good of this family after what he did. Sonia's sentence made an emotional impulse that she was trying to endure so uncontrollable.
Aunt Sonia approached the girl, hugging the body while rubbing El's back slowly. The girl who was sobbing in his arms was the girl who seized the attention of the public lately.
The entire media is reporting on two scandals that, for almost two months, are still a hot topic to report.
The continuous punch came, as if not to give him a chance to breathe properly even if only briefly.
The girl disappeared from the entertainment world, the moment at the airport was the last time she appeared in public. And the girl's silence also made El a target for news hunters.
"Crying just don't need to be detained, you can get it all out here. You can be yourself, without a mask, without the need to pretend to be strong"
The girl's cry broke out, the accumulated emotions that had been neatly arranged, even though it was there when she let out tears or felt sad but it did not make her feel complete.
The profession, which he went through required him to have a poker face.
I want him to be professional in any case.
Showing excessive emotions can backfire on him, so he is always careful in everything in public that can harm him in the future. There are many parties waiting for him to fall, although not a few who want to understand.
He is an expert in acting stupid, he is an expert in acting like nothing happened, but he is not at all good at resisting the warmth of a woman like this.
A moment she never felt in her entire life.
...----------------...
Kayden walked quickly with his eyes staring at the girl who was now crying in the hug of the mother of his lover, the heart and mind of this man was not at all accepted by the sight.
The girl has taken Lana's life, she should not have taken Lana's position also in the heart of the mother who had given birth and raised Lana. Shouldn't set foot in the house of a woman he's killed so freely.
En is always emotional with the fact that Eleasha is starting to unsettle Lana's position in this family.
The man's footsteps stopped as Lana's beloved sister stood in front of him "where are you going?"
En breathed a breath of air "you're okay he's hugging mama? You okay, he's trying to take your mbak position?"
"The first hug was mama, and he had no intention of seizing anyone's position here. And he also has a mas name, his name is El" replied Leo wisely.
En snorted in disbelief, First Mama Sonia, then Jerome and now Leo followed in favor of the girl. Was the girl wearing something like a stack that could make people sympathize with her?
"Els? The el? El?"
The two men reflexively stared at the mama who looked panicked as El's slumped body fell, obeying the laws of earth gravity.
"We take it to the hospital" said En spontaneously when he was in front of the girl who had been lying on the floor even though the head was in the lap of Mama Lana.
"Don't.the situation is not possible for El. There could be new rumors born again." said Leo, a man a year older than El was seen thinking "we take it to my room only, then call his personal doctor mas En here" he continued again with Advice that he thought was the best for El now.
In any case apart from the accident, and the injury created because of that day Leo was (formerly) Elluv.
"Why should you go to your room?"En asked, very insensitive. He's an expert at that.
Leo rolled his eyes "Yeah..."
"Take El to Lana's room, let her rest there. At once can be checked there" said aunty Sonia decided.
En looked at the woman with an incredulous look "But ma...."
"We need to talk En, that's not what you've been waiting for?" Aunt Sonia looked at the man she already considered to be her second child, as the younger brother of Lana and the older brother of Leo, En was indeed 6 months younger than her eldest daughter. A boy who, even though the bond between them has been broken by fate, never once did he intend to break that bond for anything.
En could not continue his words, he could not deny how much he wanted to hear the answers to all the questions that always tormented him at night, or when he was alone.
There are many questions what? wh why? and how? always filled the brain.
"We also need a doctor, to check El's condition."
En desperately swallowed his sense of regret for the girl. But this woman's request was also a priority for her. He could never refuse.
The man exhaled, then took out his cell phone from his pocket, and began to interrupt someone across the phone who could be certain was Jerome, his multi-talented cousin.
En moved faster to bring the girl's body into his carrier, after calling he saw through the tail of Leo's eyes were planning to lift the body of El who was still unconscious.
The body moved on its own, lifting El carefully then walking slowly towards Lana's room. Leaving Leo staring with a stern face towards them then towards the mama who was still sitting on the floor.
The smiling mama saw En's back slowly drifting away, her gaze then moved towards the dumbest youngest son with gaping mouth looking at En and El who had climbed the stairs towards the second floor.
"the le? how bengong? help mom stand up dong"
"Huh? akh.. ok ok ma" Leo slightly bent down then reached out his hand which was immediately welcomed by the mother with pleasure.
"Is it okay for the two of them to be alone in the ma'am room?" leo asked as his mother stood in front of him.
"What will En do with the girl who fainted Le?"
Leo scratched his head that did not itch, "yes...."
"En still loves your mother, she wouldn't have possibly hurt that girl in Lana's memorable place there"
"Mama don't be too trusting, if El is giggled again how?"
Aunt Sonia smiled "En won't be anything El. You trust your mama"
Leo only nodded but his heart and mind still refused to believe, he walked after the mother back to the kitchen counter.
With his head occasionally turning towards the connecting stairs of the first and second floors, he wondered why En was so long up there?
