Ellia Im Sorry
CHAPTRE 15. IMPROMPTU PROPOSAL

"Why did you come back after you left him? Where were you seven years ago when Ellia's life was completely ruined?" Lick Fredy, he got up from his seat.

"Fred's." Anders held Fredy's arm, but Fredy brushed him off.

"I'm sure Ellia told you what happened to her over the past seven years. Try to cover up this reality from Ellia. I wouldn't tell him this either. But I'm sure that sooner or later Ellia will realize it." Fredy smiled slantingly before leaving the room. Leaving Anders in his place.

Anders sat limply in his chair, staring ahead with a blank look. Ellia and Emily's shadow filled her mind. What if Ellia finds out what she did? What if Emily finds out that she's actually her real father? Will those two hate him?

No, Anders can't imagine any of that. He now wants to be close to Ellia and Emily, and tries to make amends for his past mistakes.

"What should I do?" He muttered to himself.

"Master, Sir?" Jeff's voice resuscitated Anders from the daydream. Unknowingly he had been daydreaming for quite a while. I don't know when his secretary was there.

"What's up, Mister?" Ask Jeff who was standing next to her.

"It's okay." Anders left leaving Jeff who looked in wonder at him.

Day

Anders stared at his reflection in front of the mirror, he already looked neat with a maroon turtle neck sweater. Her hair was neatly combed, adding to her good looks. Today he decided to propose to Ellia. He had been thinking all day about what he should do.

As Fredy said, before Ellia realized who she was. He would rather marry that woman first. And he will try to force a little Ellia to accept him. Only after that will Anders put everything on destiny. Want as much as Ellia hates him after knowing the truth, at least she and Ellia are already tied up in marriage.

Anders had intended to marry Ellia. But he waited for the right time. It is also impossible to suddenly invite the woman to marry let alone they have just met and never been close. But the situation is now like this and he should immediately take quick steps.

"Where are you going?" Jeff asked as Anders flashed in front of him. He was busy with his laptop.

"I have business, Jeff." Sahut Anders's.

"Those nights? Are you going to Miss Ellia's?" Jeff asked in surprise as he looked at his Master's appearance which looked slightly different.

"Yes. I'll go first." Anders replied as he walked away from there.

"Be careful to drive, sir." Jeff's message was half yelling because Anders was away.

"No need to tell." Anders Timpal.

Along the way Anders thought about what words he would say later. Don't make Ellia suspicious because she proposed to her all of a sudden.

Anders drove his car in front of the shop that was almost closed, seen there Ellia was tidying up some goods.

"Hi Ellia!" Calling Anders makes Ellia turn.

"Anders? You here?" Ellia asked, looking at the clock mounted on the wall. It's 9 p.m.

"Do you have time?" Anders asked who was standing before Ellia.

"Time?" Ellia asked back.

"There's something I want to tell you." Anders.

"What do you want to say?" Ask Ellia.

"Ep... Where is Emily?" Anders' eyes went around looking for the little figure.

"Emily's sleeping on top." Answer Ellia.

"What do you want to say?" Ellia repeated her question.

"You just finish your job first. Just now we're talking. Let me help you." Answer Anders.

"All right."

"What do you want to say? Is it so important that you come on these nights?" Ellia asked as she landed her body on the corner seat of the shophouse.

"I'm..." Suddenly Anders became nervous, the words he had been compiling since the trip just evaporated. Understandably, he had never proposed to any woman before.

"I what?"

"Ehm, Ellia I want to..." Anders' words were cut off, his tongue twisted.

"What do you want, Anders?" Ask Ellia curious.

"Why are you nervous like that?" Further.

Anders took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Trying to neutralize his heartbeat.

It turns out that proposing to women is different from just asking to be a girlfriend. He used to be so easy to express feelings with any girl, but now? His skill in stringing words of seduction seemed to no longer exist.

"Ellie..." Anders held his seat. Ellia still looked at him questioningly.

"Will you marry me?" Anders asked in a single breath, he was finally able to say it.

While Ellia looked at him in disbelief, then the woman laughed instead.

"You're kidding me, Anders?'' Ellia asked in between her laughter.

There was just something, he thought. Why would Anders come all those nights just to say something silly like that.

"I'm not kidding, Ellia. I'm serious." Andres clasped Ellia's fingers, making his laughter instantly stop.

"It's not funny." Ellia pulled out her hand, but Andres did not let her. He clasped the fingers tighter.

"Ellia, I want to marry you." Anders stared into the woman's brown eyes that were blocked by the glasses.

"Why? Why do you want to marry me?" Ask Ellia.

"Because of me..."

"Why? Do you feel sorry to see how I've had children but no husband? Or do you feel sorry for me after I tell you about my past?'' Ellia cut Anders' word first.

"Don't marry me for that reason. Because I don't need your mercy." Ellia Firm. He shook Anders' hand and was about to get up from his seat, but Anders prevented it.

"No, Ellia. That's not why I want to marry you." Answer Anders.

"I never felt sorry for you. Me, I love Emily, and I've taken her like my own daughter. Didn't Emily also call me 'Daddy' ?" Anders paused his speech.

"So what's wrong with me marrying you and being Emily's real Daddy?" Reciprocity.

Ellia was silent in place, she looked at Anders. There are no lies there. Just a look of sincerity in the hazel eyes of the man.

"Go home Anders." Ellia said slowly.

"You haven't answered my question." Anders' hand clasped Ellia's fingers tightly.

"Anders come home, it's night." Ellia said again.

"Ellie..." Anders looked at Ellia with pleading eyes.

"I'll answer it later..."

"When?" His insistence.

"Stop that..." Ellia let go of Anders's grip.

Anders took a long breath. It doesn't seem like an easy thing to get to Ellia. But he will try as hard as possible to get the woman in front of him.
