DEAR
Episode 43

Lena couldn't accept what Alex told her. Her heart ached as Alex had already demeaned her dignity as a woman. Alex spoke as if Lena was a lazy woman who was just tempted by what Erlan had.

“Mistress, is madam okay?” Ask Lena who has been sitting next to her.

Lena looked at him and smiled thinly. Now the hate has returned to the surface. The hatred that had disappeared because of Lena who thought to mengikhlaskan all what she had experienced.

“Yes.. I'm fine just.” Answer Lena.

Lena won't say anything to Erlan about what Alex told her because Lena is reluctant to have problems with her past. But Lena swore she wouldn't want to know Alex's jerk for whatever reason.

“Thank God then madam.”

The mbok and the two maids actually heard what Alex said to Lena, but they pretended not to hear it. They don't want to interfere with Lena's affairs with Alex because they also know that Lena and Alex used to have a relationship. No wonder Alex is angry that Lena is married to Erlan.

Not long after the car that brought Lena and her three servants arrived. And when Lena got out of the car, there was Erlan's luxury car, which means Erlan's home now.

Lena sighed. The man must have come home to accompany him to lunch. Lena then stepped inside the house to meet Erlan.

“Hey.. Where?” Erlan pura did not know where Lena from even though she had actually been told by the body guard who drove Lena and three servants.

Lena stepped closer to Erlan then sat right next to the man on the long sofa that was in the living room.

“I just came with another mbok and mbak to super market. Sorry for not asking permission. I'm bored at home not doing anything.”

Erlan frowning. The man felt strange with Lena's expression that was like she was not in a good heart. Though Lena should smile happily because she just came out of the house to drive away her satiety.

“I go to the room first.” Pamit Lena who immediately rose from her seat without first hearing the speech of Erlan.

Erlan was getting curious. Lena did not say anything to him but her expression was like she was unhappy.

“What happened?” Inner Erlan asked herself.

Erlan momentarily fell silent with a thoughtful expression. The man then got up from his seat and stepped out of the house to meet the mbok who was still taking out what he had just bought.

Erlan immediately asked about Lena who of course was answered honestly by the mbok. The mbok also said what he heard from Alex's mouth to Erlan.

Hearing that Erlan's emotions immediately peaked. Hearing Lena being humiliated like that made Erlan not accept. Lena is his responsibility. And what made Lena feel uncomfortable would also make Erlan uncomfortable. What else Alex has dared to insult Lena which means Alex also insulted Erlan.

“Job !!” Erlan muttered with both hands clenched tightly.

Erlan twisted her body quickly then stepped back into the house with a sense of annoyance that controlled her heart and mind. Erlan did not accept what Alex told Lena.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his room, Erlan took a deep breath and then greeted him slowly. The man grabbed the door handle and turned it slowly opening the door of his room with Lena.

As soon as the door opened, Erlan did not find Lena in her room. The man circled his gaze around the corner of the room and found the balcony door wide open. Erlan was sure Lena was on the balcony right now.

Sure enough, Lena was standing on the balcony with both hands holding on to the trellis fence.

“Sayang..” Erlan hugged the friendly Lena from behind. The man also kissed the nape of Lena who was exposed because Lena was twisting her long hair high.

Lena closed her eyes feeling Erlan's hot lips tearing at her nape. Instantly, his daydream also collapsed. His anger at Alex dissipated instantly due to a friendly hug and a warm touch of Erlan's lips on his nape.

“Is there something bothering you dear?” Erlan asked if Lena would be honest with him or choose to hide from him.

“Yes.. But it doesn't really matter.” Answer Lena slowly.

“Oh yes? What is it about?” Erlan asked again hoping Lena would tell him what was true.

Lena fell silent and sighed softly. Lena doesn't want any more trouble with Alex. Lena was quite satisfied with sticking her fist at the corner of Alex's lips. And Lena thinks what Alex says doesn't need her to stir at Erlan.

“There was just a little misunderstanding earlier with Alex. But it's okay.” Lena's smile which then twisted her body faced Erlan.

Erlan smiled and nodded her head. The man tried to understand. Lena must have had a reason why she chose not to tell him. And Erlan believes Lena has no ulterior intent to their relationship. But even so does not mean Erlan will be silent. Alex has demeaned Lena which means he has also demeaned her. Erlan would make the calculations on Alex the same way. It lowers the man's self-esteem.

“How about we eat out this lunch?” Ask Erlan later.

Lena frowned and looked to think. Lunch time is almost here and the cook at home just came home from shopping. It would be very tiring if the mbok also had to directly cook for him and Erlan.

“Eem.. Can.” Nod Lena then.

“Ya is coming.” Take Erlan to grab Lena's hand and pull her a little to take her by the balcony of their room.

“Eh but I have to change clothes first Erlan.” Lena said that made Erlan look back at him. The handsome man in a black suit was staring at Lena's appearance from top to bottom. Simple sleeveless dress peach color that is so fitting attached to the slim body of Lena is also so contrasted with the color of pure white skin Lena.

“You are already beautiful with this kind of appearance dear. You are also still fragrant. No need to change clothes anymore. Come.” Erlan gently pulled Lena's hand to let her pass from the balcony back into the room and then out of there.

Lena who received the praise indirectly from Erlan blushed silently. Erlan really never demanded anything from him. The man also never told Lena to dress up if she wanted to take Lena out of the house. It makes Lena feel accepted for what it is by Erlan.

Before leaving, Erlan calls the mbok to tell the old woman not to prepare lunch because Erlan and Lena plan to eat outside.
