A Couple of Ex
64.

The night is getting late, but the night market crowds have not shown a sign of ending, it is getting crowded with visitors.

The ex-husband and wife seem to be more comfortable with their position which is currently still holding hands. Even swinging together like a rhythmic melody, the wind swept across their faces, cold through the skin, but not with the hearts of the two who were now starting to warm.

No words or chatter were spoken from the mouths of the two, as if they just wanted to enjoy the moment without wanting to talk. 

Arriving Stella seemed interested in the claw machine doll that had no fans, "it seemed like it would be exciting," he said with sparkling eyes, when approaching the machine, Alex automatically followed his steps. 

"What do you want? Don't tell me you want to try this," Alex asked as well as guessed.

Stella nodded, though, 

"I just buy it, the machine is the same doll at once, you and your child can play at home as much as possible," 

Stella's face turned sour, "it would feel different to play this at home," 

Stella pouted, then turned around and let go of her hand, realizing that something was wrong Alex approached her, "okay okay we play." Alex tried to seduce, too long single, making his appeal sound stiff, even so Stella again showed a smile on her face.

"really?" Ask Enthusiasm.

Alex nodded, "wait a minute, I'll ask the guard, and buy coins." 

"All right," 

Whether possessed by what Stella tonight, she looks happy when she sees the doll's claw machine, even though it's just a small doll, Stella's gaze is fixed on a pair of elephant dolls that are located far apart, he stared at the two dolls.

Shortly after, Alex came with a lot of coins, no matter how much money he used to buy coins.

 "Do it, if the coin runs out I'll buy it again." 

Stella smiled happily. "It's not me, it's brother playing." 

"Heh ??? Why me???"

"Because I can't."

"Then you think I can?" 

"Definitely .. "Stella could not help but smile, it was so good that he made Alex pale because he was forced to play a claw machine doll, 'taste, feel, it's a punishment because a few days ago you were a successful patient in the hospital', Stella laughed smirk.

While Alex looks confused in front of the claw machine doll. 

Stella whispered in Alex's ear, "I want the elephant doll," 

Alex bristles, something in him starts to flare up. "Why an elephant? Isn't that a duck, a bear, a panda, and a cat there's even a penguin in numbers." Ask her curiously.

"Because there are only 2 elephants." Answer Stella origin.

Alex is shocked to hear Stella's answer.

'Huuuffttt patiently Lex, ' his inner self.

"Luckily love, if not, I'll break this doll's claw machine, then replace it with some money" he said.

"What?? What did you say just now?" 

Alex shook his head, but his face revealed a smile that was deliberately made.

Alex began to try, after inserting the coin, he began to move the stick that controlled the clamp of the doll.

One time, failed.

He tried again the second time twice, this time the clamp had approached the elephant, but Alex miscalculated, until the clamp had closed while the elephant was still a few cent.

Twice, failed again.

Stella patted him on the shoulder trying to encourage him.

"Let's try again" Stella said.

"Revelation!!! …  swipe slightly to the right!! Turuuun, now ambiiill … !!!" Jerite Stella.

And finally in the 20th trial he managed to get the first doll.

Stella jumps for joy, "yeeee succeeds .. "her words are carefree, even unconsciously she shakes Alex's arm.

"Are you that happy, it's just an elephant doll, I can even buy you a real elephant." 

"No I don't want a real elephant, I want an elephant doll," Stella replied as she stared at the elephant doll now in her hand, "let's go, one more, that's right there," show Stella.

Alex gulps his saliva, hearing Stella's request, he finally starts inserting coins to start trying to get the elephant next.

Not much different from the first, this time Alex also failed many times, until he ran out of coins, and Stella like a craver who continuously wanted an elephant, but imagined the happy laughter of Stella earlier, Stella, alex bought the coin a second time, for a large sum.

And this time it was the same, Stella continued to give him spirit, until somehow the experiment to how much, the elephant finally managed to get Alex.

✨✨✨

Stella smiled at the pair of elephant dolls that had now moved into her hands, "hmmm they're so funny." Said cheerfully.

Now they are walking back to the place where the car is parked.

"Now are you happy?" Ask Alex lazily.

"Well, what a pleasure," Stella said.

"Where are you thanking me?"

Stella frowns her forehead, since when did her ex-husband become such a selfless person, but it's okay, tonight Alex is trying hard to realize Stella's wishes.

"Thank you" Stella said with a big smile.

"Is that all thanks to him?" Ask Alex.

"Yes .. thank you." 

"Where is such a thank you?" Protest Alex, then Alex thrust his cheek full of intent.

Deg.

"You used to say thank you here, right?" Alex pointed at his cheek.

Stella was silent, she did not know what her ex-husband wanted, because she often did it, if she said thank you, but now their status is different, Stella turned Alex's cheek away from her face, her face already blushing in embarrassment.

"Oh don't want to well, let me do it." Then quickly Alex kissed Stella's lips, Alex did not even care now they are still in the crowd.

Stella was silent, and she was pounding, but too embarrassed to admit, "what are you doing?" Strangled Stella, while closing her lips with an elephant doll in her hand.

Alex just poked his tongue in the sky his mouth, "nobody, nobody saw what he meant," he replied ignorantly.

"It's in a public place,"  

"Ooohhh so if in a special place can? take it easy, no one is watching us." whispered Alex, who managed to make Stella grow furious.

Alex doesn't care about that, "Let's go back to the hospital, pity Dimas, if we take too long to take care of the children." Alex said as if nothing had happened between them.

the man took one of the elephant dolls from Stella's hand, then clasped Stella's hand.

They walked back, enjoying the night breeze, "actually there's something I want to say." Alex opened the conversation.

"What's that?"

"I've recovered Andre's identity" Alex paused his line, "sorry" he added.

Alex feels a little guilty, because after the divorce, Andre is under Stella's guardianship.
