Can It Be Us?
IMPROVE

Ailee looked at Adrian who was playing his laptop in the living room. The others are asleep, only Adrian is still busy with his laptop. At first Ailee wanted to wait for Adrian until the man was done. But it's gonna be a long time. So he chose to approach the man.

"Adrian," Call Ailee makes Adrian look up. Her smile instantly expanded when she found Ailee already standing beside her.

"Why haven't you slept?"

"May I sit beside me?" Ask Ailee.

Adrian nodded his head. "Please, with pleasure."

Ailee sat down next to Adrian. He stared at Adrian's laptop, but unfortunately it was not visible because Adrian pointed his laptop to the opposite side of Ailee.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?" Ask Adrian.

Ailee nodded. "Do you mind if I ask you this?"

Adrian laughing. And that laughter managed to make Ailee hypnotized for a moment. "What to insist on? I'm ready if it's about you Ailee."

"Actually..." Ailee looked at Adrian. The man's eyes were so shady looking at him. Waiting for him to speak. "What work are you doing with Mr Achazia, Abercio and Abqari?"

Ailee examines Adrian's face. See if there are any signs of a lie coming out of Adrian's mouth. But what was on his face was just a smile and eyes that could not be separated looking at him. "Is that all?"

Ailee nodded her head. "Yes, that's all. I'm really curious because you guys like to suddenly leave without telling us what the reason is, yes even if you say that there's work to be done, but you don't explain what that job is." Ailee looked at Adrian who never let go of looking at her.

"Well, I'll answer, but first I want to ask you."

Ailee nodded. He looked at Adrian to listen to what the man was going to say.

"If you were given the choice to save the one you love, or leave the one you love, which would you choose?"

Ailee chuckles. "What are you asking? I'll save the people I love."

"Right, but if you want to save the people you love, you have to do some terms, you're gonna do it?"

Ailee nodded. "Yes, definitely."

Adrian smiling. The man pinched Ashana's nose. "That's smart. Now think what if I'm in that position? And the condition is that I can't tell you, if, if you were in my position, you would still say that?"

Ailee fell silent. He thought for a moment. Whether that's what Adrian is experiencing, his face turned serious. Is there someone in danger until Adrian has to save that person? "What's going on? Who should be saved? What do you mean by this?"

Achazia. Ailee's very funny if it's like this. "No, it's just a parable. Nothing needs to be saved. You just calm down. I just need your answer. What would you do if you were in my position, would you still say it?"

Ailee shook her head. "I won't tell him."

"Good, just imagine my position now like that. You'll know when it's time. You just pray I hope all this is done soon." Adrian rubbed Ailee's cheek, while Ailee did not refuse at all.

"You're gonna stay here, are you gonna sleep?" Ask Adrian. "You're just gonna ask that, right? There's nothing else?"

"May I accompany you until you finish tonight?"

Adrian silent. His face looks shocked. A few seconds later, the man smiled.

"I have no reason to refuse."

Ailee smiled slightly. "Thank you, I can't sleep tonight, you haven't slept." No, it's just an excuse. Actually Ailee was already sleepy, but when she saw Adrian who was not finished with his duties, she wanted to accompany the man.

Ailee chuckles. "Is that so?"

"Not one thing about you has escaped my memory Ailee."

Ailee looked at Adrian, how great was Adrian's love for her? Until the man still loves her even though Ailee has tried not to come back.

"Why Adrian?"

Adrian who had started to focus on his laptop turned to look at Ailee.

"Why?"

"Why should you love me so much?" Ailee's voice sounded soft.

Adrian smiling. The man closed the laptop that was on his lap. "It seems your question doesn't need an answer. Because the answer is the question itself."

Ailee frowning. "You mean?"

"Because I have to love you so much." Adrian. Turn the questions Ailee gave into statements.

Ailee chuckles. "Can I start again?"

Adrian who heard that opened his eyes many times. This is what he was waiting for. But he couldn't believe hearing it. His smile immediately expanded. "What's? Can repeat?"

Ailee exhaled. Adrian never changed."

"Yes already if you don't want to, I don't-"

"Hey hey hey. Why you, honey? My answer doesn't match my question." Adrian chuckled at the end of his speech.

"Whatever."

Adrian laughed softly. Yeah, he realized it was night. It was impossible to laugh so hard until it woke the others up. "Why are you so adorable?"

"You know what?" Ailee brought herself closer to Adrian. I didn't mind Adrian's question.

"What?"

Without waiting again Ailee immediately scattered into Adrian's embrace. Adrian who did not guess that Ailee would do this, smiled. He rubbed Ailee's gentle mane. It is really something he misses.

"I miss you."

"I miss you more." Adrian held Ailee tightly. He doesn't want his wife to leave again. He will not let his wife go. Whoever dares to drive Ailee away, she will immediately intervene to block.

Adrian let go of the hug when he heard is going to cry coming out of Ailee's little lips. The man looked at Ailee's face that had been flooded by tears. The woman lowered her head, making Adrian worried. "What's wrong? You why? Did I make a mistake? Wh why? Tell me." Adrian was really worried. Just a few minutes later, she was very happy, and then saw Ailee suddenly crying.

"I'm crying because I miss you so much. I miss you so much. Very very very much missed you. You don't know how hard it is to hold back from running towards you. I tried but I always failed and I ended up crying alone. Every time I see you I want to say I love you, but I can't do that even if I want to. You can only pretend to hate you, not to like you. Though I was very wish---" Ailee instantly widened her eyes as Adrian kissed her lips briefly.

Adrian smiled faintly. The man rubbed Ailee's cheeks gently. "Easy wreaking it all, baby? Now I'm in front of you. You're free to do anything to me."
