Elgar's words echoed in Mila's head. Never happy, what does that mean? Didn't that night, Elgar said he was okay?
Elgar leaned his back against the seat, his eyes closed. Maybe Mila will laugh at him. Would sneer if this was karma for a true loser like him. But Elgar no longer cares, he does not want to pretend to be happy in front of Mila.
"I wasn't happy for 7 years Mil. I'm tormented, every moment I just miss you."
If that is the case, Mila feels that her life is much better. At least he still has a mood booster, namely Saga.
Elgar opened his eyes, with his back still leaning, and he stared at the vehicle from the window.
"If you ask me why I haven't been looking for news about you for 7 years? The answer is just one mile. I'm not ready, rather, not ready to see you belong to another man."
Devan is the perfect man, which woman is not captivated by his charm. Moreover, he knows Devan loves Mila, Elgar is not ready to accept the fact that Mila is with Devan. Even whenever Pink came home to visit her grandmother, Elgar chose to stay away, fearing that Pink would break the news that her papa would marry Mila.
"That day, when my mom told me that Devan was getting married, I thought he was going to marry you. My heart broke Mil, I had a terrible accident until I was in a coma for 10 days."
Mila was surprised to hear that. He didn't know at all that Elgar had almost died.
So Miss Dirga didn't say who Devan was married to? Did he intentionally do this to make Elgar desperate?
Mila bit her lower lip while looking up at her face. No, she can't cry.
"I think you're really married to Dev. But yesterday," Elgar held up his waiting and stared at Mila.
"Yesterday I just found out if you're single, that means you're not Devan's bride."
For years Devan tried to take Mila's heart. But the frozen heart cannot melt at all.
Elgar grabbed both of Mila's hands and grabbed them.
"Wait for me Mil, I promise it won't be long. I'm getting a divorce with Salsa."
.Mila pulled her hand while shaking her head.
"I don't want to be the third person in your household El. I don't want to hurt another woman. In the past, I've hurt Salsa by seizing her lover's heart. And now, I don't want to take her husband."
Elgar took a heavy breath, leaned back on his back and reached into the cell phone that was nailed to his pants. Open his phone and look for photos of Salsa and Ben stored in the gallery.
"Look." Elgar thrust his phone at Mila.
With doubt, Mila accepted it. His eyes are perfectly rounded to see a photo of a friendly photo of Salsa with a Caucasian man. Judging from different places and clothes, obviously they very often spend time together.
"At the moment, they're together in Europe."
I don't think Mila can believe it yet. She thought Salsa loved Elgar very much. He chose not to find out Elgar's quirks and hide Saga, because he did not ruin their happiness.
Elgar drove back to where he wanted to go before. After a few minutes, the car they drove up in front of a restaurant.
"It." Mila returns Elgar's cell phone she brought.
"Take it."
"But if Salsa calls?"
"Just give it a shot."
Mila hissed while glancing. Ogah she is considered an actor for picking up the phone belonging to the husband of the person. He pulled out Elgar's palm and put the phone there.
Elgar smiled at Mila's behavior. He held the phone and then put it on the dashboard.
"I don't want to be disturbed when I'm with you."
"But later if the client calls?"
"He already knows we're waiting here."
Elgar took off his seatbelt, and so did Mila.
"Don't take that." Elgar said as Mila was about to bring her laptop bag.
"B_"
"hunts."
Mila sighed, put back the bag containing the lap top, then carried her tote bag. They both walked into the cafe.
Elgar picked the corner table. Although the front near the glass looks better view, but he does not want to be bothered with the traffic of people. Be the corner table, the most appropriate choice.
Mila frowned as Elgar told her to order food. Why not wait for the client. Don't feel right, they're not waiting for a client, but it's just Elgar's wits to be able to have lunch with him.
As soon as the waiter left, Elgar let go of his tie.
"Can you please keep this?" Elgar slings his tie to Mila.
No other choice, Mila received the silver tie, folded it neatly and put it in the bag.
Elgar continued to smile while looking at Mila, making the woman misbehave.
God, can't his eyes just turn to look at the others for a moment?Calm Mile, calm. Take a breath.. throw it away, don't look too much if you're nervous.
It was fortunate that the awkwardness soon subsided when the waiter came to bring their order.
Mila stared at the confused food in front of her. Should he eat now? but what if the client arrives while they are still eating? Should you have clients wait for them to finish their meals?
"That food won't run out if you only look at it? Or don't don't, you expect me to bribe you?" Tempt Elgar while holding back a laugh.
Mila immediately raised the knife and fork in front of her. He no longer cared if the client arrived. But, back he undoes the intention to cut the tender-looking meat on top of the hot plate. He remembered Saga, usually he always took the time to call the boy at lunchtime. Now, has the child eaten? or waiting for a call from him?
"What's wrong?" Elgar saw Mila's suddenly changed countenance.
"No." Mila refocused on the food in front of her and started cutting the meat. Never mind, he'll be able to go to the toilet to call Saga.
But apparently, Elgar couldn't let Mila eat in peace. The man continued to stare at Mila until Mila felt difficulty swallowing her food.
"Your food won't run out if you stare at me constantly."
Elgar laughed when he heard Mila reverse his words. The man then shifted his food to near Mila.
What the hell is this? I was told to eat 2 servings? Is my eating too greedy to look like a starving man?
"Please cut it."
Mila immediately gawked. Are not both his hands are idle. He's not a kid either. The time to cut the steak should ask for help.
"Usually the old secretary did that for me."
Don't tell me that the old secretary also bribed him.
Huft, Mila took a breath and put down her fork and knife. Forced to stop eating to do a job as a secretary. Yeah, helping the boss cut meat all of a sudden is on the secretary's to-do list.
"Shall I also feed you?" sindir Mila's.
"Of course, if you don't mind."
Mila rolled her eyes lazily and shifted Elgar's food back to the man.
Saga alone can eat alone, why is the papa more spoiled.
Elgar smiled in satisfaction after successfully pranking Mila. It feels good to be back as before. Always bother Mila and make the woman upset and always miss her.
"Selere Aden is really bad." Babbled Elgar after swallowing a piece of meat. "She said the steak here is delicious, in fact rendang makes you much more delicious."
"Didn't you always nag at my cooking, it's bad, it's clumsy and boring?" Ledek Mila with her eyes fixed on the food.
Elgar chuckles to hear it, making Mila's attention instantly fixed on him.
"I'm glad you remember exactly what I used to be."
Glug
Mila immediately swallowed her saliva. He regretted that he had spoken wrongly. But that was the truth, he would never forget all their memories. Even all the mockery and swearing Elgar still always remembered.
Not wanting to bother Elgar, Mila refocused on her food. Don't care anymore either Elgar looks at him or not.
While Elgar, still continue to smile while eating again. Look at Mila's hair that looks disturbing. Her hand moved to touch Mila's hair and then tucked it behind her ear.
Mila's body temperature instantly heats up being treated like that. He was like being stung by a high-voltage electric current when Elgar's fingers touched the earlobe.
