"Ma'am ... today I am very happy!" Ellena exclaid happily, as soon as she got ho and imdiately t Briana who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
She was so happy she imdiately hugged her mother from behind, making the middle-aged woman surprised.
"Elle, you really surprised !" Briana seed to turn down the stove, then removed Ellena's hand from her stomach, turning her body to face her daughter.
"What's wrong? What makes you this happy, huh?" Briana asked, looking curiously. What actually made Elena look so happy about?
"Finally, I got a job, Ma'am. So, tomorrow I'm already working and I don't have to go around looking for work anymore," replied Ellena with teary eyes, holding back emotion.
Like Ellena, Briana imdiately put on a similar expression when she heard the good news. "Is that true?" She asked confirming and imdiately got a nod from Ellena.
"Thank God, I'm so glad to hear that, Elle."
" too, Ma'am. It turns out that there are still people who want to help and believe in . Pray for , Ma'am," Ellena replied, holding her mother's arm.
"Yes, of course. I hope you get a job with a good position, also a kind boss and most importantly you feel comfortable working there," said Briana with a smile that was getting wider.
"Of course I will feel at ho. My boss is kind, friendly, and not arrogant like most rich people. I hope the employees are also kind like my boss," explained Ellena confidently.
"Oh yeah? Thank goodness for that, I am also happy." Briana looked sadly at Ellena's face. "Okay, Mother will continue cooking again. You better take a shower, then rest. You must be very tired."She ordered later.
"Ma'am, what are you cooking?" asked Ellena curiously, before agreeing to her mother's orders. Her face looked leaning forward, slightly swerved to the left and right, just to confirm the nu of the dishes in the pan.
"Ah, this is your favorite tofu stew." Briana replied as she turned to face the stove.
"Ah, it feels like my stomach is hungry again." Ellena whispered as she gently rubbed her stomach from outside the shirt. For so reason she suddenly felt hungry again, after seeing her mother's cooking which was very tempting, although not yet ripe. In fact, she had just finished eating an hour ago.
"Hungry again?" Briana looked at Ellena questioningly as if sothing surprised her. "Do you have eaten?" She asked for sure.
Ellena was silent for a mont, before responding, "Yes, Ma'am. My boss asked to eat out earlier. I couldn't refuse, because she insisted. I don't think there's anything wrong with accepting Mr. Richard's request, as a thank you for accepting to work in his office. He also forced because in return for my help yesterday," explained Ellena at length.
Briana sighed heavily, looking at Ellena a little disappointed.
"Don't be too easy to accept other n's invitations, Elle. Rember! You're still Lucas' legal wife. You just have to prioritize your relationship as a co-worker, you don't need to do anything other than work. Take care of your good na as a wife, and take care of yourself." Your husband's good na, even though you don't live with him right now." Briana advised.
"Yes, Ma'am. I understand what you an. I promise I will take good care of myself, I won't disappoint Mom and Lucas." Ellena replied with a regretful expression. What her mother said was true. But even she couldn't do anything when Richard forced her.
"Anyway I don't want to see you close with another man when you are still Lucas' wife. No matter how good the man is, you are still the best husband at the mont. Take good care of the honor of your household and believe that one day you will be reunited." Briana gave a serious look while holding Ellena's forearm, hoping that the woman in front of her would understand what she was saying.
"Okay, Ma'am. I promise I will do whatever you ask." Ellena whispered, looking to bend her neck.
Sorry. Hearing Briana's words, she went back to reflecting on what sheì had been through with Richard. Is that wrong? Yes, there seems to be sothing wrong with him. She shouldn't be too friendly in front of other n, just to not want to make other n chase after her.
Ah, she beca guilty. Not only behaviout mother, Lucas would also be very angry if he saw him having lunch with another man.
Ellena seed to be biting her lower lip which was slightly trembling, trying to neutralize the feeling that was bothering her mind.
'Lucas, I'm sorry." Ellena muttered under her breath.
"Well, don't think about it too much. You'll end up stressed and sick. You'd better take a shower and get so rest!"
Briana's voice imdiately made Ellena jump. For a mont his daydream broke. Ske then looked at his mother's face.
"Okay, I'll take a shower first, Mom." Ellena hissed and then walked away from her mother, while Briana resud cooking activities.
***
Undergoing treatnt for a few days, it is very tedious. However, this afternoon Lucas seed very happy, because he had just received word from the doctor that he had been allowed to go ho.
Finally the day he had been waiting for, was now in sight. In just a matter of hours, he would be ho soon. In the most comfortable place so far, even though the atmosphere now is not the sa as before. The house must have been quiet, because Ellena wasn't there.
No need to think anymore, Lucas imdiately asked Alex to imdiately finish the hospital administration. It seed like he couldn't wait to get ho. Perhaps he will find sothing important related to his wife in his house. Yes, he hoped so.
"Are you ready, Lucas?" asked Albert who had been waiting for Lucas for a long ti. Beside him, his wife also doesn't want to miss a happy mont for her son.
"I'm ready, Dad," Lucas replied, still sitting on the gurney, but this ti he was no longer in the patient uniform.
anwhile, beside Lucas appeared Adley who was also ready to pick up his best friend. As soon as he heard the news that Lucas would be returning ho today, he imdiately went to the hospital after returning from work.
"Co on, let's go out. Looks like Alex will also be finished soon," said Albert.
Lucas imdiately agreed to his father's invitation. He appears to be in a wheelchair, pushed out of the room by Adley. While Albert and Veronica seed to walk flanking him.
Just a few ters from the room, they passed Alex who had just finished paying.
"Are you done, Alex?" Adley asked as he stopped in his tracks, when Alex was standing right in front of him.
"Yes, Mr. Adley. I have finished all the administration," Alex replied, looking at Lucas and Adley in turn. "I have also prepared the car in front," he added later.
"Thanks, Alex," Lucas said.
"Don't say that, sir. It's my job," Alex replied respectfully.
They then left the hospital, towards the car that was parked in front of the main door.
"Lucas, don't you want to share the car with Mommy and Daddy?" Albert asked as Alex opened the car door for Lucas.
"No, Dad. I'll be in the car with Alex and Adley," Lucas refused.
"Okay. Alex, please be careful while driving." Albert looked at Alex warningly.
"Very well, sir," Alex replied, nodding slowly.
Now they are in the car. Lucas was seen sitting alone in the back seat, while Adley and Alex were sitting next to each other in the front seat.
This trip was led by Alex. A few minutes on the way, they didn't talk about anything. They are still busy with their respective activities. Alex was busy driving, Adley was busy playing the gadget in his hand. anwhile, Lucas was busy with his thoughts and Ellena was the object.
Didn't expect that he would lose Ellena so quickly, even before the contract period was over. Ah, sohow he can live the days without his wife by his side. A figure that he loves and will always miss his existence.
'Elle, where are you now? Don't you miss right now? I'm awake, I'm awake from the coma, but why did you just leave ?' Lucas whispered in his heart
"Lucas, even though you're ho from the hospital and declared cured, you still can't go straight to work. You have to rest for the next few days, for your health."
Adley's statent imdiately made Lucas flinch. He quickly stopped his daydream and focused his gaze ahead. Adley seems to be still focused on the future.
"I don't know. I feel so bored like this all the ti. Just lying down, there's nothing to do. I really want to go back to the office.
"Don't be crazy!" said Adley, rolling his eyes back. "You should rest. Shouldn't you also have enough strength to find your wife's whereabouts now?"
"Ahuk, ahuk!"
Alex suddenly coughed in the middle of driving, suddenly distracting Lucas and Adley.
"What are you doing, Alex?" asked Adley, looking seriously at the face of his best friend's personal assistant.
"Oh, it's okay, Sir. My throat is just a little itchy," replied Alex who imdiately got a nod of his head from Adley.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the company. I'll make sure that there won't be the slightest mistake that disappoints you." Adley said again. Now his gaze had shifted back to Ghibran.
"I trust you. You are indeed the most reliable friend and co-worker." Lucas replied, who already knew how his best friend was. "So, how was the condition of the company during my stay?" He asked curiously.
"The company is under control. Everything is fine." Adley replied confidently. "Oh yes, next Monday I will go to Bogor for a eting with Mr. Richard." He added to inform.
Lucas frowned while holding his chin as if he was rembering the na Adley had ntioned.
"He is the owner of the largest travel company in Bogor, which will cooperate with our branch company there," said Adley, who seed to know what Lucas was thinking.
