DEAR
Episode 61

“You're not papa, are you?”

Erlan asked with both hands cupped gently on Lena's cheeks. His gaze that was once full of anger now changed instantly to be so gentle and attentive to Lena. And that gaze managed to knock out the fear that was crawling Lena's heart.

Lena sighed softly then smiled to calm Erlan who at this moment must have been very worried about her.

“I'm fine, Erlan.” Answer Lena slowly.

Erlan sighed again. The man then held Lena's body into his arms. The man clasped Lena's body very gently. Seeing Lena being treated like a servant by Natasha made Erlan unable to hold back her emotions. Whereas as long as they are with Erlan always take care and treat Lena very well. But Natasha, mommy, he continued to arbitrarily treat Lena, his beloved wife. Of course, Erlan could not accept it.

“What did mommy say to you dear? Tell me everything and do not have the slightest thing you cover from me.” Whisper Erlan while peeking at the top of Lena's head in her arms.

Lena smiled hearing that. Lena knows Erlan is worried about her right now. But Lena also couldn't possibly complain about everything Natasha told her. Lena tried to think positively maybe Natasha was like that to him because she did not know him well.

“Mommy just asked me to cook Erlan. No need to overdo it. Don't act like that again mommy and daddy. You should still respect the two of them because they are your parents as well.” Reply to Lena quietly and calmly.

Erlan gulped trying to hold back the emotions that regained control of her heart after hearing what Lena said. What the mbok told him was true. Erlan believes Natasha deliberately did that so that Lena did not feel at home next to Erlan then decided to leave Erlan because she could not stand the attitude of ketus and wanton Natasha.

“We eat out well.” Erlan said that directly made Lena release her embrace.

“But I've cooked a lot Erlan.” Lena looked up at Erlan who instantly developed a smile on her lips staring at Lena's innocent face.

“I want to eat steak dear.. You want me to meet you?” Erlan gave an excuse because it was impossible for Erlan to say that she was very uncomfortable if she had to eat one table with Natasha who had dared to act arbitrarily to Lena.

Lena sighed softly then nodded her head in accordance with it. After getting a nod of approval from Lena, Erlan immediately held Lena's hand and again invited her out of the room. Erlan did not even say hello to mommy and daddy when passing the dining table. It made Lena feel that what her husband did was wrong. Lena did not dare to comment. What's more after seeing how Erlan when angry. Lena was worried that her comments about Erlan's attitude would re-ignite her husband's emotions.

Erlan kept trying to calm down amid the anger that kept crawling her heart and mind. The man didn't want to scare Lena like that.

It did not take long, they also arrived at the place of eating that Erlan meant. As always, Erlan had always treated Lena very special both when they were both together and in front of a public audience.

Lena who felt Erlan's treatment was too excessive for him could only obey. But it cannot be denied Lena is happy with the sweet and special treatment of her husband.

Lena turned her head when she overheard a scathing comment from one of the visitors who was not far from her desk and Erlan. There were two women with elegant looks who were staring cynically at him.

“It is difficult if ordinary people marry a conglomerate. His bad habits will definitely he carry without him knowing.” Reply to the other one.

Lena sighed. I don't know what's wrong with his appearance. Though the simple dress that is currently Lena wearing is also quite fantastic price. And Erlan, she never minded Lena's appearance at all.

“Hey..” Erlan grabbed Lena's hand and rubbed it gently. The man also heard what the two women said about Lena. But Erlan didn't care. The most important thing for him is that he is also happy with what they both live. Erlan was unwilling to listen to anything anyone else said about Lena. His love for Lena is already too great to even beat Erlan's love for herself.

Lena returned Erlan's gaze wistfully. Lena thought no wonder if mommy continued Erlan rated it low. Other people even said it so spicy because of its too ordinary appearance.

“No need to listen to what people love say. Because what we feel is not necessarily what they feel. Maybe they are happy with the luxury they live. But we're.. Luxury is not enough, right? There must be love accompanying to perfect our happiness.” Erlan said softly and gently.

Lena was silent for a moment. The woman was trying to digest what Erlan said. A second later a smile adorned Lena's lips. Lena agreed with what Erlan said. Because happiness is not enough with luxury alone. Love and love more than anything.

“Yah's.. You're correct. I shouldn't think about what they're saying. The happiness I feel is different from the happiness they feel.”

“That dong.. Erlan Dallin Harrison's wife should not be weak and easily influenced by others. You have to be yourself, baby. Because I love and love everything that is in you.”

Lena laughed at hearing that. There was a sense of happiness mixed with haru but also a sense of silly together because of Erlan's exaggerated speech. But Lena believes Erlan can't possibly lie. Lena believes Erlan said what it is.

After he finished eating the steak, Erlan took Lena down the street. But the man calls Kenzie first to inform him that Erlan will not return to the company.

“Where are we going? Don't you go back to the office again?” Lena asked as they were already on their way after finishing eating the steak.

“We walk the road.. That's Abis we're going to the hotel. Tonight we will stay at the hotel. I'm lazy to go home.”

Lena frowned at what Erlan had said. But then Lena understood why Erlan had invited her to stay at the hotel. Of course it's Natasha.
