DEAR
Episode 92

In the morning

Erlan looked at Lena who was still calmly closing her eyes. Lena continued to cry until the morning before in Erlan's arms. Though Erlan had calmed her down but it seemed like Lena's sadness was really so deep that her crying did not stop just like that.

Erlan sighed softly staring attentively at the beautiful and innocent face of his beloved wife. Last night Erlan saw the weak side of a Lena back. And this time it was not because of disappointment in others. Except disappointed in himself.

Erlan never once thought she would blame Lena for everything that happened in her home life. Because Erlan realized who he was. Erlan has always cared for herself in order to be a good leader in her small family. Both now and in the future. Even if Lena makes a mistake, Erlan will not just blame his wife. Erlan will first introspect himself as a husband who is fully responsible for his wife.

Feeling unbearable to leave his wife at home today, Erlan decided not to go to the company today. Erlan wanted to accompany Lena who was sure her mood would change. What's more is now Lena's having her monthly guests.

Slowly Erlan got up from lying on her side beside Lena. The man then got off the bed and stepped towards the glass table where behind the table was a long sofa right across from his bed and Lena was a little far away.

Erlan grabbed her phone lying there and tried to contact Kenzie. Erlan wanted to tell his right hand that today he could not be present in the company.

“Good morning sir.” Greet Kenzie from across the phone as soon as he picked up the phone from Erlan.

“Ah yes, morning also Kenzie. I can't go in today. So you handle everything. If there is something important and you can not handle it yourself, you just come directly to home.” Erlan said with great authority.

“Oh good sir.” Reply Kenzie.

“Ya already then.”

Erlan hung up after she finished talking to Kenzie. The man put his cell phone back on the table. Erlan looked back at Lena who was still sleeping peacefully. Erlan knew the woman must be very sleepy until the eyes of the morning rose yet to open both eyes. Reluctant to disturb Lena's deep sleep, Erlan decided to clean himself first. Erlan stepped towards the bathroom and entered into it. This morning for the first time Lena did not prepare what Erlan needed. But that Erlan understood considering his wife who must be in a bad mood.

About 20 minutes into the bathroom, Erlan came out with only a towel wrapped around her waist. Her slightly long brown hair seemed random and still dripping water from the ends.

“Sayang.” Erlan muttered when she found her bed and Lena empty. Lena's not there anymore.

Erlan's gaze immediately led to the balcony door of the room that was open. The door made of glass showed Lena who was standing looking straight ahead. Erlan's smile expanded to see it. The man immediately stepped closer to Lena without putting on any clothes first.

“Hey..”.

Lena flinched as Erlan hugged her from behind. But a second later a smile was engraved on Lena's lips. The woman inhaled deeply in the soft fragrance that was emanating from her husband's burly body. The smell of soap is very soothing according to him. Added with a comfortable and warm embrace Erlan. It made Lena always feel at home for a long time in the arms of her husband.

“Have been drinking warm water dear?” Erlan asked right in front of Lena's ears.

Lena nodded in response. Lena believes a glass of warm water on the nightstand must have been prepared by Erlan for her.

“Already.. Thanks for your attention.” Lirih.

Lena turned her body facing Erlan who was slightly lowered looking at her gently and attentively.

“Absolutely you are not going to the office?” Ask Lena later. Though earlier Lena thought Erlan had gone to his company to move as usual.

“Today I work from home dear.” Erlan replied while giving a short kiss on Lena's forehead.

“Why?” Ask Lena again.

Erlan smiled amusedly at the innocent question that came back from the lips of his beloved wife.

“Today I want to accompany my beautiful wife at home. It feels really bad time just two at home the same you love.” Erlan replied making Lena's face blush instantly.

“Iihh.. What the hell? Very dreadful. Yes, I took a shower first.”

As Lena was about to pass, Erlan held her back. The man leaned Lena gently on the balcony trellis fence. A sweet smile continued to be etched on her lips staring at Lena who looked surprised by what Erlan was doing.

“Erlan me.”

“Can I have one kiss first baby?” Erlan asked what Lena wanted to say.

Lena blinked her eyes a few times. Erlan sometimes asked for a kiss from him. But he doesn't do it often.

“But I haven't.”

“Please darling.” Please Erlan. “On the cheek no papa kok.” Further.

Lena sighed softly. Lena then tiptoed and gave a short kiss on Erlan's cheek. After that Lena also left the balcony leaving Erlan who felt very happy to get a kiss as she wanted.

While Lena, as soon as she got to the bathroom door she grimaced. His stomach always feels bad if he is getting his monthly guests. Lena had actually felt it since waking up. That's why Lena immediately drank warm water on the nightstand hoping the bad taste subsided. Lena headed to the balcony to breathe fresh air in the morning but Erlan came and hugged her. It made Lena dare not complain. Lena did not want to make her husband worry about her.

Lena then went into the bathroom. In the bathroom the bad taste was getting unbearable which eventually made Lena become long in the bathroom.

Erlan who did not know what his wife was feeling just quietly waiting for Lena to sit quietly on the sofa opposite the bed. Erlan just thought maybe Lena was long in the bathroom because she was doing things that she only did when the arrival of her monthly guests.

The sound of the bathroom door being opened made Erlan turn her head. The man smiled to find Lena coming out of the bathroom. But the smile faded as soon as Erlan found the expression on Lena's face that was like someone who was enduring the pain.

“Yes God.. Babe..”
