EL (EN) Dless Love
Pendant with initials of the girl's name
...----------------...
"You think I should say thank you to Arthur"
El who was preparing to bite the sandwich closed his mouth. He looked at Alena who was also looking at him.
"You have a lot of job offers, a lot of people are calling me to work together now, "Alena is looking at El seriously "Are we breaking up with the agency? we can handle this ourselves El. You saw it, right? Until now the agency does not contact us about work problems. They're hands off just like you"
El put the sandwich he was holding back onto the plate "I'm scared, Na. I'm afraid my movement will become a weapon that strikes me later." the girl shook her head.
Imagining what will happen later if he decides to contract with the agency has made himself creepy. Not on the amount of penalty fees he has to pay, but his fear is more on the accusations people later about him who is like this and so.
El is not at all ready in the bully one Indonesia anymore, at least not for now when he began to organize his life again.
"Gue until this moment was still not able to pilgrimage to the tomb of oma same opa, because it was not ready to face journalists, not ready to appear directly in public"
Alena breathes "don't be pessimistic first dong. See now? Many love you apart from many who hate you." the manager was eager to ask where did the brave El go? But Alena did not dare to make it into words, after all that happened she did not deserve to question where the courage, decisiveness and outspokenness of the old El was.
"We'll talk about this later, Na. if I'm about Arthur, I followed him back last night"
"Oh yeah?"
El nodded "Do I have DM too? apologize directly about it?" ask again.
Alena seemed to think "Ekhm. about that did I forget to tell you, if the agency he said he wanted to subpoena Arthur because of defamation"
"Huh?"
"Yes I was on the phone with Jerome, he said they filed the charges yesterday"
"Crazy huh? I stay straight. Why are you reporting everything?"
Alena flicked her "eat finger. Excessive right? I was also emotionally fit to know, I immediately told them if you won't come out with any statement"
El scowled his head that suddenly throbbed violently "When I wanted to solve his problem Ed today. But I think it should be delayed again" El muttered softly to himself.
...----------------...
"This time especially?" Kayden stared at the agency building that had been changing hands for almost a year to belong to him, Just because of the momentary emotional impulse.
"Gue has not updated the latest news, you know I am busy preparing projects in Kalimantan" Jerome said while opening a smartphone in his hand. The man cringed a moment later.
En's gaze turned on Jerome from his busy stare at the lobby of the agency building which was almost full of news hunters. Their car just stopped across the street and didn't get in there.
"Why?"
"Eleasha in gossip dating "
En's eyes glinted "dating?" he asked a little hoping his hearing was wrong.
"Eleasha follows IG Arthur Xavier's account last night, see for yourself. But you should not be too trusting, because it's only the theory made by the fans doang"
Jerome's smartphone moves into En's hands, the man looks so focused on paying attention to the 8-minute video on the rectangular screen. Which displays the same coincidences between the two figures. Starting from the same clothes, the same accessories, the same style, there are even almost the exact same words that they both say even if not in the same place and time.
Not to mention the two posts on their social media, which are mostly uploaded at about the same time and the caption is also almost related.
"Gue will call his manager, if it's not true we can immediately argue" said Jerome.
En looked back at the agency building which today looks crowded because it is filled with journalists complete with weapons of their pride.
The schedule to visit there seems to have to be postponed until things become more conducive
The man should either be happy or sad about this news. Normally he should be happy because with this gossip dating, automatically becomes a confirmation that the relationship El and Ed is purely just a friend. That way Elisha they can feel calm.
But, he could not deny that there was a dislike part in the deepest part of his heart. And this man quibbled that ambiguous feeling because he simply did not want the girl to be happy after seizing Lana's happiness. Mr. Hit says 'Back to the Laptop'
...----------------...
"I'm sorry I got you involved and I want to say thank you very much" El smiles at the screen of his phone that is connected in a video call with a man who arguably has saved his career in the world of entertein.
Turns out the rumor was true, The man was very fluent in Indonesian. Though El has prepared himself to speak in English, and a little reading greetings or light talk in Thai.
"I'm glad I could help. Fighting!!!" The man on the screen clenched his hands in the air.
El's smile widened he then performed Thai greetings while nodding assuring.
"When are we colab? The initiative does not need to involve any party"
El could catch the man's intent. And he understands. Hence there was nothing he could say other than "Ok" in a convincing tone.
"I'm ready to help anything, whatever the hell I want to be. fictitious or fact, Main cast or support cast for you, I'm ready."
El stunned.
...----------------...
El looked confused at the bucket of lily placed on top of the navel opa and oma, the flower still looked fresh as if it had just been placed. The situation at the cemetery this afternoon was quiet, because it had been almost a month, the news hunters who were always on alert at this cemetery were no longer visible.
The girl circulated her gaze throughout the cemetery and her gaze stopped on the gaze of the man standing a few meters from where she was standing.
The man who knows when the alarm alert is always active when he is in close proximity to the man no longer sounds so loud that his ears are ringing, makes his heart pound until it feels pain or his legs suddenly lose strength to support the body.
That fear was indeed not completely gone, he had only diminished a lot.
"I've guessed, it must be you" The man made a voice, making the girl's forehead wrinkle.
"Lily's flower impaled Lana, it's from you right?" continues explaining.
El could not make a sound to answer, he hesitated that the answer that would come out of his mouth later could make the man hurt or perhaps offended. Even if he doesn't mean that.
"Lily flowers are Lana's favorite flower after roses. His fondness for flowers was not much to know"
El bit her deep lips, in fact she did not know about it either before hearing it from this man.
"I also forgot about it" En smiled grimly staring at the bouquet of lily flowers above the navel of two tombs that had significance to the girl, as did Lana's meaning to her.
This man held his mouth to tell the girl from where he could tell that El had placed the lily over Lana's grave a while ago, when he was visiting there at that time.
The girl left a trace on Lana's grave, evidence that could be immediately known when this man carried her unconscious to Lana's room.
"You...."
Kayden stepped forward slowly, he was ready to stop if the girl took a step back.
But in this sixth step, the girl did not also react like the time on set or in the hospital's VVIP room. This man decided to continue walking with a gaze that looked straight at the girl's brown eyes, a slightly narrowed eye at the end.
And for this time El did not waste his face or avoid his gaze. The girl returned her gaze just like at the beginning of their meeting. Does this mean he is no longer afraid of her? Has the girl's trauma to her disappeared?
En took something out of his pants pocket, as he stood two steps away from the girl, "you left this trace in Lana's grave"
El's gaze descended upon En's hand, the clenched palm slowly opened and the pendulum Necklace was there.
The girl reflexively checks the part of her neck that is still faithfully covered with a turtleneck, she can not touch the existence of the pendant there, only a necklace left around her neck, she can not touch the presence of the pendant there, How could he not even realize that?
The necklace pendulum bearing his nickname was flanked with two small lily flowers in the palm of the man's hand.
El looked up, looking at the man who was also looking at him with an expressionless face.
As El's hand stretched out to pick up the pendulum, faintly from afar came the sound of people conversing in a step that didn't belong to just one or two people.
El panicked, his feet stepping back as his eyes could catch some reporters heading towards them.
En turned his body, saw what the girl also saw.his body returned to the initial position and found the girl who had gone away.
Kayden was like a bewitch, he stepped in with quick steps following El with his hands clasping the Pendant back with the initials of the girl's name.
