DEAR
Episode 113

Erlan had just come out from inside the bathroom as her sense of smell sniffed the fragrant aroma of hot chocolate that was emanating inside the spacious room of her room and Lena. The man then turned to the sofa and smiled as he found his wife sitting there with a cup of hot chocolate that he had just placed on a glass table in front of the sofa he was sitting on.

“You are done.” Lena's smile looked at Erlan who was still standing in front of the bathroom door.

“Ya darling..” Sahut Erlan returned his wife's sweet smile. The handsome man who had a white towel around his neck then stepped closer to Lena who was sitting on the long sofa opposite their bed.

“What is this hot chocolate for me?” Erlan asked Lena while putting her towel on the back of the sofa and then sat herself next to Lena.

Lena smiled and nodded her head. He then grabbed his cup of artificial hot chocolate and gave it to Erlan.

“I hope you like my hot chocolate.” Said Lena who managed to make Erlan laugh.

Lena who saw Erlan laughing frowned confusedly. Lena was not making a joke but Erlan laughed.

“Why laugh?” Lena asked confusedly.

Erlan sipped the hot chocolate Lena gave and then put her back on the table as before. The handsome man then gently pulled Lena's body into his warm embrace.

“Sound yes dear.. I've always liked everything about you. What else is your homemade hot chocolate that tastes so snug on my tongue. Your cuisine is delicious, and your smile is sweet. Pokonya I love everything about you.” Erlan.

Lena smiled in the warm embrace of her husband. Erlan never missed praising him. The man always said sweet things about himself that were indeed very excessive according to Lena.

“You're too much Erlan. I'm not that perfect. I have many shortcomings. And I still have a lot to learn as well as fix the shortcomings that I have.” Lena gently rejected the excessive praise from her husband. Lena didn't want to be a big head because of the compliment Erlan always threw at her.

“Whatever it is you remain the most beautiful for me dear.” Erlan's smile was unconcerned by Lena's subtle rejection of her praise.

Lena just laughed. Her husband always was. Too exalted love for her that sometimes Lena felt was was alone. Lena is afraid of herself being big-headed because of Erlan who always glorifies her love for her. Erlan never even cared about any shortcomings that Lena had and still thought Lena was the best for him.

“Erlan.” Call Lena quietly.

“Ya darling..” Erlan rubbed a swab very gently with Lena's open arm because Lena was using pajamas with short arms.

Lena let go slowly with Erlan's embrace then looked up at her husband's handsome face.

“Bolrh I asked you something?” Lena asked with a plain face that made Erlan feel very anxious.

“Of course. Ask me everything you want to know from my dear.” Erlan answered with confidence.

Lena was silent for a moment. He sighed before asking Erlan a question.

“Why have you never called me by the name that my parents gave me since I was born into this world? Why do you always call me sweet?” Lena asked looking seriously at Erlan.

Erlan laughed in amusement at the question posed by his beloved wife. The question was very strange, he thought. How could Lena even question about the call of love that Erlan always refers to her. But that's Lena, a figure full of surprises according to Erlan. Erlan could easily guess what his wife was thinking. But Lena's actions always make Erlan feel like a surprise at all times.

Lena frowned feeling very curious.

“What is it?” Ask her curiously.

“Do you have any objections to that dear call?”

Erlan's question made Lena frown again. It would be a lie if Lena said she didn't like the call. Because actually women really like if her partner has a special call for her. It's just that Lena was very curious because since the first time Lena found herself on Erlan's bed, the man always called her affectionately. Lena has known Erlan loved her for a long time. But Lena was also curious why even though Erlan had never called her by the name that Lena had.

“Not me mind Erlan. It would be hypocritical if I objected to the call. I was just curious because you almost never mentioned my name.” Lena smiled funny.

Erlan nodded her head understanding of his wife's intentions. The man then grabbed Lena by the waist and lifted her very lightly and placed Lena on his lap with their positions facing each other.

“Marlena susianti, listen well to what I say. The reason I always call you dear is because to me you are an extraordinary figure who always manages to cultivate affection in my heart. You're a figure I've never forgotten since our first meeting that day. You are also a figure that makes me instantly able to forget the problem even able to eliminate my heartache at that time. I told you, didn't I? That since that day I really want you even almost every day dreaming of you which turned out to be the most beautiful soul mate that God gave to me.”

For the umpteenth time Lena felt very touched. Her heart felt warm and full of hearing her husband's explanation.

“Don't ask this again you understand?” Erlan's word is soft.

Lena smiled then nodded her head. Lena then put both her hands around Erlan's neck. His gaze pointed right at both Erlan's clear brown eyeballs.

“Erlan, I am very happy because God brought together and even sent such a good soul mate for me that is you. I admit you're handsome.”

“Aha.. Then?”

“You're good.”

“Next?”

“You are also very interesting. You are perfect for a man size.” Continue Lena.

Erlan listened to what Lena said carefully. She gently stroked Lena's waist while leaning her back against the back of the sofa. Since they were together this was the first time Lena had been so honest and open about her figure.

“I feel so lucky to have married you. A man full of love and affection. A man who always gives a sweet smile even though I made a mistake. You're so patient with me that I admit sometimes it really sucks. I myself did not expect God to have prepared a perfect soul mate for me, you... Me...”

Cup

Erlan kissed Lena's lips and grappled her affectionately while tightly hugging Lena's waist so that their bodies were perfectly attached. Lena who was surprised by what Erlan did was trying to compensate for the soft kiss and in her husband. Her two hands that hung around her husband's neck so tightly hugged Erlan who always managed to make him melt and resigned.

“This is the result of your praise dear.” Whisper Erlan let go of her kiss for a moment before finally resuming her back.
