Ellia Im Sorry
CHAPTRE 16. RESEMBLED?

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.

"Don't take too long, I have to go back to my hometown next week." Bright Anders.

"Go home..." That's all Ellia said. Anders got up from his seat.

"I hope your answer doesn't disappoint me." Anders said before leaving the place.

Ellia stared softly at Anders's distant back. A mixed feeling enveloped his heart.

Inside a room with a dim light, the pair of brown beads looked at the small figure lying beside him. He was slowly wearing that tiny face.

"You're the reason Mama's survived this far... What should Mama do? Daddy Anders asked Mama to get married? Are you gonna agree Emily?" Ellia asked, but only in her heart, for fear of waking her little daughter.

"I used to put my heart on Anders, but it's been a long time. Because he was the only student who never insulted me at school.

But now things are different, I'm no longer the old Ellia. I have a daughter now. And what's important to me is no longer love, but Emily's happiness.

Emily and Anders are close, but I still doubt that Anders can fully accept Emily. Because Emily is not her real child. I don't even know who Emily's real father is.

Had that man not ruined my life, I would have lived happily with my family, along with the man who truly loved me. And I will not be afraid to make a decision.

But now only Emily is my reason, Emily's happiness is my happiness..."

The excitement enveloped Ellia's heart that night. He wants to follow his heart, but doubt and fear always haunt him.

The sports car stopped at the side of the road. Anders leaned his back, his eyes staring at the street in front of him that looked not so bright.

"May Ellia accept my proposal so that I can marry her as soon as possible. I don't want anything else. Only Ellia and Emily I want to have. They are both my world now. I want to make amends to them first. Because of me Ellia lived a life of suffering, because of me Emily was born without a father... And now it's time for me to fix everything."

Shown back in the mind of Anders when he could not control himself just because he was complacent to see the beautiful face of Ellia who had been covered with glasses.

Returning all the stories of Ellia's past, about her life destroyed by her actions.

Anders was so late in his daydream that the sound of a cell phone ringing shocked him.

Jeff's secretary's name was on the phone screen.

"Jeff's? Ck, why does he always disturb my daydreams." His grunt. He lazily raised the call.

"Hello sir, where's the lord?" Ask Jeff as soon as the call is connected.

"I'm on my way home, Jeff." Answer Anders.

"Master is fine, right? You're not at the clinic, are you?" Ask Jeff streak. Anders knitted his eyebrows at his secretary's question.

"Jeez, Jeff! Do you expect me to have another accident?" Exclaims.

"It's not like that, sir. I'm just worried about you." Answer Jeff flat.

"I'm not a kid you should keep worrying about like that." Anders Timpal.

"But Master is like a child." Jeff Sahut.

"And you better go home now because it's late." Jeff is back.

"You dare to rule me, Jeff?" Anders asked in annoyance.

"No Sir. I'm just asking you to go home, otherwise I'll pick you up." The answer is back flat.

"Jeff.....! I'm home now." Anders said with emphasis on each word.

"Be careful on the road, sir."

Anders did not reply, he immediately closed the call.

Her morning.

Ellia and Emily had breakfast together.

"Ma..." The little voice resuscitated Ellia in a daydream.

"Yes, baby. What's up?" Ask Ellia.

"Why didn't Mama eat her breakfast? And why is Mama just daydreaming?" Ask Emily who had seen her mother daydream without touching her food.

"No baby, Mama's not daydreaming. Mom is thinking." Answer Ellia.

"What do you think?" Emily asked again as she fed the food into her tiny mouth.

"No, baby, it's nothing." Ellia smiled faintly.

"Let's eat your breakfast, we'll be going to school soon." Further.

"Okey, Ma." Emily's Law. The two began to eat their breakfast again.

"Emmyl..." Call Ellia between her meals.

"What's up, Ma?" Ask Emily.

"What do you think of Daddy Anders?" Ask Ellia.

"Daddy Anders? Daddy Anders is very kind, Ma." Emily answered with passion. Every time there was anything to do with Anders, the little girl was always eager to talk about it.

"Yes, Daddy Anders is good." Tymphal Ellia.

"Ma, does Mama know. It turns out Daddy Anders is just like me?" Ask Emily.

"Yes? Meanin?" Ask Ellia.

"Daddy Anders and I both love vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and almond bean toppings." Emily then put food back in her mouth.

"Honey, many people in the world love vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and almonds topping." Said Ellia.

"Yes, but yesterday at the ice cream parlor, people said our faces looked alike." Emily said again. Ellia knitted her two eyebrows.

"Like?" Ask.

"Yes Ma, they also thought that Daddy Anders was my father because of the same color of our eyes." Babe Emily again. The movement of Ellia's hand that was scooping food suddenly stopped. Looked at Emily's eyes.

If noticed, the color of their eyes are both hazel and the faces of Emily and Anders are almost similar. But in this world not only Anders and Emily have hazel eyes.

But what if the face is similar? Why did Ellia realize this? And also those who are easily familiar when just met. Is all that because...

Ellia's face suddenly paled. Instantly a bad prejudice flashed across his head.

"No way..." Ellia murmured while shaking slowly.

''Why Ma? What is impossible?" Emily asked who heard Ellia mutter.

"No dear, it's nothing. Let's finish your breakfast quickly." Said Ellia while trying to brush off those thoughts.
