The days continued, Elena and Merrik seemed to have no relationship other than work. They did not contact each other, only Merrik was allowed to meet with Melena. Father and Son relationship is well established, Friday afternoon Merrik came to Elena's house with lots of toys for Melena. Despite coming to the same destination, they come separately using their respective cars.
Arriving at home, they arrive simultaneously. Not coincidentally, but Merrik deliberately trailed Elena's car. Merrik got down from the car and was greeted with a shout from Mel and immediately hugged Merrik.
"Sore Om, Auntie" said Merrik.
"Sore," replied Steven. Amel immediately turned inside without answering Merrik's greeting. Elena also went inside, sure her mother's heart was still as hard as a rock that was difficult to melt.
"This is all for me, Dad?" asked Melena enthusiastically about Merrik.
"certain." They played together in Melena's room.
"Daddy is here?" pinta Melena's.
"Daddy wants to, but Daddy's still a lot of work later after Daddy finishes the promise to take Mel on vacation."
"Asik, same Mommy?"
"Emm, if that's Mel asking Mommy first."
"Later Mel asked Mommy," said Melena smiling.
...***...
"Do you want to separate them?" ask Steven.
"Did I forbid him to meet Mel?" amel.
"But it would be happier if the three of them were together."
"Have you forgotten, we've accepted Arka's proposal?"
"We can still cancel it."
"Eleanor can also be happy with Arka." Amel leaves Steven still standing at the door of Melena's room.
Merrik came home after his playing time with Melena ran out. "I'll go home first, Om." Merrik's Permit on Steven.
"Stay, it's late. I got word that the road you used to walk through was an accident, there was a container that was upside down carrying chemicals so, sure the road is closed." Steven asked Merrik to stay the night, in addition to the news of a traffic accident, he was happy to see Melena laughing when with Merrik. Amel disagreed, but Steven exercised his right as head of the family.
"Can I?" merrik made sure. It could be that he rejected Steven's offer, the road one at the close could still use the other alternative path but Merrik was reluctant to say so.
"Of course."
"If allowed, I want to sleep with Melena."
"Please."
Merrik comes back to Melena's room, she tells her son to fall asleep. While at home, she did not meet Elena. Yeah, they kind of agreed to limit their meeting. Likewise with Merrik who chose to stay away from Elena so that he did not lose control to hug his female idol.
Merrik felt thirsty after telling Melik, his son was already asleep. Merrik headed to the kitchen and took a glass, poured water and drank it. He didn't see any Elena eating fruit as a night snack. "It looks so thirsty!" said Elena.
Merrik turned his head, a little surprised, he felt that there was no one other than him yet there was Elena sitting in the corner. Steven's family kitchen is big, Merrik doesn't see Elena. "Yes, a little thirsty."
"Mel, are you asleep?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"So soon, usually if I tell her, she'll protest a lot like wanting to change the storyline."
Elena listened to all the stories of Merrik, a father who told her son. "Yes, unity. Some say to me, if a child is born similar to one of his parents, then the greater love is a parent similar to his child." Elena Obviously.
"You're saying our love is balanced?" merrik guessed Elena's words.
Elena just smiled at Merrik's words. Merrik smiled, exhaling his breath slowly. "When seeing Melena fall asleep made me clear-minded, dense brown hair like yours with thick eyebrows similar to mine. Holding her in my arms, making me happy, thinking about what it was like to hold her when she was a baby." Merrik expressed his heart with a bow.
"You want to blame me for not telling you about Melena?"
Merrik shook his head. "No, given my stupidity that has given you a pregnancy deterrent to be free to use you without the fear of conceding, which has led me to be blasphemed by everyone who knows me. All my depraved behavior towards you .. I used to just think that you wouldn't get pregnant with my son and let you go. Although, after that I realized that I love you but all is not as easy as hope because of the accident. Releasing you that I thought would make you happy but it turns out you still love me. I don't know, I have to tell God to thank you because you're still willing to accept me."
Elena's heart warmed to hear Merrik's words, she would fight together with him. "It's night, go to sleep!"
"You too." Merrik leaves Elena and returns to Melena's room, eager to pull Elena away and kiss her good night.
...***...
The day the new product launch arrived, Arka came to El Sunshine's office to meet Merrik. "Are you ready?" ask Arka.
"Of course, I'll be out after the new product launches and you'll officially be the new CEO. Jakson's taken care of everything for you."
"Good." said Arka smiling meaningfully.
Before the show starts, Arka comes to see Elena, all the design divisions know that Elena is indeed being approached by her. "Hi" said Arka.
"Hi." Elena answered Arka's greeting.
"After the show's over I'd like to talk to you. Is there time?"
"Sure," Elena replied smilingly.
The new product launch event began and received a good reception, until the arrival of Merrik came to inform that El Sunshine had been acquired by Arka.
Arka came to the podium to introduce himself even though almost all employees knew who Arka was because the company had worked with Merrik for quite a long time.
At the time Arka gave the speech, she said that surprised the employees. "El Sunshine is already in the acquisition but I'm not going to be the CEO of El Sunshine, I'm going to call the real CEO. Please ride Miss Eleanor Pedrova."
All eyes were on Eleanor as well as Merrik, he did not expect that Arka gave all her assets to Elena.
"Miss, please climb onto the podium!" said Arka's assistant to Elena who was silent in shock.
Elena followed Arka's assistant to climb onto the podium, rigidly accepting the handover, Arka only gave her a sweet smile.
Nervously Elena blurted out her speech as the new CEO. He wanted to refuse, but it would not be done in front of many who would embarrass Arka. After making a speech, Arka approached Elena and gave a warm hug to her and whispered in Elena's ear.
All of that was clearly visible in Merrik's eyes, he tried to hold back his anger, not because the company was given to Elena but because Arka embraced Elena affectionately.
