DEAR
Episode 28's

No longer able to hold back the questions lodged in his mind about who Erlan really was and how Erlan could possibly love him so much, Lena chose to ask Erlan directly.

“Erlan, I want to know how you can know everything about me.”

Erlan who was lying on her side facing Lena who was lying on her back on the bed smiled. The man sighed then slowly got up from lying down and sat back down leaning on the base of the bed.

“Come darling.” Tell Erlan while patting her thigh gently told Lena to also get up from lying down and then sit on her lap.

Lena who was still not used to getting up from lying down but did not obey Erlan's orders.

Erlan who knew Lena was still unable to get so used to being clingy to her even gently grabbed Lena's waist and sat her on her lap.

Lena was surprised but could not resist. He just stayed on Erlan's lap with his heart pounding twice as fast as his normal work.

“Listen well dear.” Erlan said hugging the friendly waist Lena who was now sitting on her lap.

The man sighed softly before starting what Lena wanted to know.

“This will sound very funny. I hope you don't laugh at me after knowing everything.”

Pause for a moment. Erlan was speechless looking at Lena who was growing more and more curious about what Erlan was going to tell her.

“Hey Marlena Susianti's. I know you've lost both of your parents since you were little. You live in an orphanage because you have no relatives, right? You are also very hard working to be able to get a scholarship to be able to continue your school until high school. And you, you also started looking for a job when you were in high school when you were in 10th grade. You also enter into being an outstanding student in your school until you finally graduate with the best grades. That's when you start living independently by renting a house for you to live in. Amu also works while in college, right? I even know the story of you who started close to Alex until finally you two dated.”

Lena rounded her eyes. Erlan knows every detail of Lena's life.

“Ah yes.. One over. You were late when you left for work because you helped an injured cat who went into a water drain. Didn't you?” Erlan's smile looked at Lena who was very surprised to hear what Erlan said.

“But how can you know everything Erlan? You spying on me?” Lena asked in disbelief.

Erlan laughed amusedly. Erlan has long been looking for a lot of tau even trailing every movement Lena. It's been going on for years. But Erlan was so very cowardly because he did not dare to approach until finally he could only follow Lena silently. When he began to get busy with the company, Erlan even told people to always ensure the safety of Lena. Erlan also told the person to record everything Lena did so that she could see firsthand what Lena was doing every day.

“In other words so. But Lena, do you really not remember the high school boy you helped when you fell from the motor?”

Lena frowned. He tried to dig into his memory until he finally remembered a high school boy who fell down from his motorcycle with injuries on his arms and legs. At that time, even the gray pants worn by the High School boy were torn because his body was dragged almost three meters on the surface of the asphalt.

“Yes, I remember. But I was still SD.” Lirih.

Lena was again surprised to hear what Erlan said. Lena did not expect that the handsome young man she used to help was Erlan, the man who was currently her husband.

“So.. You mean.”

“Since then I started finding out about you Lena. I even settled into the sludge in front of the orphanage where you live to see you. The little girl who can make my heart shake. The little girl who is also able to make me can forget my heartache because of my love that claps one hand.” Sela Erlan stroked softly on Lena's cheek.

Lena gulped staring in horror at Erlan. How could a high school teenager fall in love with an elementary school kid who doesn't even know what love is. What else when helping Erlan first Lena also still sitting in the 5th grade.

“You know baby? I am looking forward to a time like this. Being so close to even hugging you like this really makes me feel so happy. I even thought I wanted to be able to stop the time if I was with you.”

Lena no longer focused on listening to what Erlan had to say. In her mind Lena kept thinking how she could make Erlan fall in love just because she helped Erlan rise from the asphalt back then. Lena didn't even do anything anymore because indeed Lena did not carry anything but books inside the bag that she carried on her back just yet. The bag that Lena got from a kind-hearted person gave goods to orphanage children in need.

“Hey, why even daydream?” Feeling anxious, Erlan also pinched Lena's nose slowly making the owner immediately aware of everything that was lodged in his mind.

“So you're really that guy? Why did you never appear before me? Why are you just watching me from a distance?”

Cup

Erlan gave a brief kiss on Lena's lips, making Lena go silent. The man was really happy with what he was doing now. Being able to have Lena was his biggest dream come true.

“I admit I'm a coward, baby.. I dare not appear before you directly. But you need to know that I was frustrated and even felt like dying because you were in a relationship with Alex. But then Jojo made me realize by saying you guys are still dating and unmarried which means I still have a chance to have you. And it turns out to be true. God was so good that he finally found us that night. And again it's also because of Jojo.”

“Jojo?” Lena did not understand.

“The bartender you were angry with that night, he was my best friend. He was also the one who always assured me that one day you could definitely have me.”

Erlan's long story really makes Lena feel very touched. Erlan could endure even continue to watch him silently silent because of his very sincere feelings for her. And Lena could feel it all from the gaze within her husband right now.

“Now you know why I love you so much. I hope someday you can also have the same feelings as I feel the same you love.”

Lena smiled and nodded her head slowly. He would try to open his heart to Erlan, accepting the man as the husband he was supposed to love.

Lena then hugged Erlan tightly making Erlan smile broadly behind her back then returned Lena's tight embrace very gently.
