Merrik stared fixedly at the man in front of him, a head of the marketing department at his company. “I just admire Miss Eleanor, Sir.” Russen answered Merrik's question.
“Not you know, the company does not allow relationships between colleagues!” merrik.
“I know Sir, and I did not violate company regulations. I just admired him, until this moment we did not have a special relationship. So, there are no rules that I break.”
“Then what is this?” merrik said by giving a file of documents to Russen.
Russen receives the dossier, not just a note of interest purchase but Russen's photos are secretly stalking Elena, starting from the office until Elena returns home to her apartment. Merrik got all that from the CCTV footage in his office and from around Elena's apartment. Merrik imagines Russen following Elena into his apartment. Yes, even though just staring at Elena's door, it's enough to make Merrik sick. Lucky when Elena returned to Merrik's apartment was not sniffed Russen. “What is this action not called a stalker?” ask Merrik.
Russen's face hardened, he realized he was indeed stalking Elena. “I admit I stalked him, but not the least committed a crime.”
“Stalking is a Crime called criminal abuse and your actions make people she is uncomfortable!”
“How do you know, she is not comfortable?” asked Russen to look.
“Sure because of the report!”
“Well, I will stop, all this time I have not done harm or evil to Miss Eleanor.”
“Stop stalking him!”
“Good, Sir.”
“Come out!”
Russen came out of Merrik's room. Then Jackson came. “Move him to a distant area from here!” merrik's Edit to Jakson.
“Good.”
“Make a reasonable excuse for him.”
“Good, Sir.”
After Jakson leaves the room, Merrik contemplates himself, he cannot sanction Russen for not committing a crime against Elena. He could only keep Russen away from Elena. Yes, Russen is no different from himself monitoring Elena from CCTV and always secretly paying attention to her. Merrik massaged his head, only one person was caught stalking his wife, is there anyone else like Russen? Not to mention Arka who was blatantly chasing after Elena. I want him to publicize his relationship with Elena as soon as possible.
Elena prepares to go home. He had agreed on Merrik to go home together, of course in a secret way so as not to be seen by others. For three days they lived together without trying to make a relationship like a husband and wife. They just hug and kiss.
Elena used to go home after her co-workers left the room, after being quiet Elena prepared to tidy up her things. Suddenly Lala walked into her room, and stood in front of Elena. “What's up?” ask Elena.
Lala just looked at him full of dislike. “Do you already know Mr Bastian's illness?” ask Lala cynically.
Elena was willing, not because of Lala's question, but why anyone other than herself knew of Merrik's illness. Is Lala very important to Merrik?
“Iya, I know it. Then why?” challenge Elena.
“Didn't I warn you to stay away from her life? You're just gonna make him more tormented! Why interfere with the personal lives of others? Can't you see some days his mood's bad! Are you satisfied?” Lala could see that Merrik was not doing well. Merrik still did not want to try again with Elena for fear of disappointing and it was very torturing for her.
Elena also knew the suffering of Merrik, her heart was sad to see the state of her husband. However, he did not need to explain at length to Lala. “This is our problem, no need for you to take care of it!” Elena took the bag and left Lala alone.
“No.”
“Then why is your face like that? Speak?”
Elena simply passed by without answering Merrik's question, she chose to clear herself up. Merrik tried to give Elena time, maybe she needed time to tell a story later.
“Honey, make me coffee. There is work to be done tonight,” Merrik said as Elena was at her dresser.
“Why do you drink coffee often?”
“Because I just found out, your coffee is very good," said Merrik smiled and then passed to the workspace. Merrik used to be no coffee lover, never asked Elena to make coffee. However, after Elena's departure, she made coffee a substitute for alcoholic beverages. He kept his promise to stop drinking alcohol.
Elena came to Merrik's room with a cup of coffee and placed it on Merrik's table. Merrik pulled Elena's arm when she was about to leave. “What's up?” ask Merrik.
Elena wanted to keep quiet without any desire to tell Merrik. However, he also did not want to harbor his sadness for too long. Elena finally opened her voice. “I know your illness is very important and related to a man's self-esteem. You try to hide from everyone. You hid from me desperately and chose to let me go. You hide from the parents who raised you and also hide from your best friend Dion. However, why is the important thing that Lala can know? Is he doing that important to you? Do you feel like he understands you better than any of us?” Elena took out all the stones in her heart.
Merrik only looked at Elena's face flushed red with anger, exhaled her breath slowly and said, “Do you mind?”
“Of course! Very, very objectionable! What exactly is your relationship? I'm so suspicious that your relationship isn't purely just that of superiors and subordinates!” elena shouted after that leaving Merrik alone in the study room with a slight slamming of Merrik's work door.
The next day, Merrik invited Lala to lunch together, Merrik rented the entire restaurant. Lala looked at the table full of food and there were only the two of them. “Wah, like a romantic lunch only,” said Lala sparkling.
“You are like I never treat you,” said Merrik full of jokes.
“Eat together anyway often, but not to reserve the whole room!” A second later Lala's heart became unsettled, feeling that something was coming. “Don't you say hurtful words to me?” ask Lala.
“Eat!” They had lunch together, after finishing, Lala slowly said, “Are you still going to the counseling place?”
“Iya, still.”
“Why not contact me if you go there? What if we change the way the therapy is done by using the direct method as recommended by Doctor Kyat, I will help you.”
“Lala, I invite you to eat together, because Elena already knows my problem, in the future you do not need to help me. Elena will help me.”
Lala's face turned sad, her eyes dewy. “What did you dump me?”
