Ellia Im Sorry
CHAPTRE 18. FEARFULNESS

"He's the man who did that to me, he ruined my life..." Ellia stared blankly ahead. Fredy nodded back.

"Do you know?" He asked, and the man sat his body on the floor. Just like Ellia.

"Whatchu mean? Don't tell me you've known about this before." Ellia stared intently at Fredy.

"Yes, you already know this." Fredy breathed heavily.

"When do you know about this? Why didn't you tell me?" Cecar Ellia's.

"I realized that when Anders first came here. His face and eyes are familiar to me. And then I realized she looked like Emily. Seeing her treatment of Emily, made me even more sure. And it turns out my guess is right. I've done this myself to Anders, and he's not evasive at all. I don't want to tell you, because I want you to realize that." Fredy. Ellia looked back blankly ahead.

"Why am I so stupid that I can't see it all?" Sluggishly.

"Ellia, relax..." He said as he gently rubbed the woman's back.

"I hate Fredy, I really hate him." Said Ellia in a stifled voice.

"Calm down. Everything's gonna be okay."

Fredy rested Ellia's head on her shoulder and gently rubbed Ellia's hair. At least it could make Ellia calmer now.

Anders stood daydreaming beside his car, thinking about what he should do now. Ellia already knew who she was, and now Ellia hated her so much.

Seeing Ellia crying like that, it felt like Anders' heart really hurt. Moreover, all of this was the result of his actions.

"What am I supposed to do? I don't want to lose Ellia and Emily, because they're my world right now..." Ask Anders in my heart.

"Daddy...!" Shouted Emily as soon as she saw Anders, awakened Anders from his daydream.

The little girl ran up to Anders with a school bag on her back.

"Is Daddy here to pick me up?'' Emily asked as soon as she was in front of her daddy. Andres decides to go to Emily's school after Ellia kicked her out.

"Dear, Daddy picked you up. Daddy wants to take you home." Anders crouched down, lined his height with Emily.

"Where is Mama? Didn't Mama come?" Emily asked as she tilted her head at Anders.

"Mama's in the shop, baby." Anders answered while tucking in some of Emily's children's hair that was blown by the wind.

"Daddy, this morning I told Mama something." Emily's tiny lips began to chatter, as usual the little girl would tell her anything that happened to Anders.

"What are you telling me, Emily?" Ask Anders.

"About the incident at the ice cream shop yesterday." Answer Emily.

"The incident at the ice cream shop?" Anders frowned, trying to remember something.

"Yes, when people there said I looked like Daddy. And also our same taste of ice cream." Answer Emily.

Anders tried to recall, when in the ice cream shop there were indeed some people who said that their faces were both so similar and also praised him as a father who loved his daughter very much.

Is that why Ellia knows who she is? From Emily's story?

"Daddy why daydream?" Ask Emily.

"Ehm, it's okay." Anders nodded slowly.

"Why do Mom and Daddy daydream when I tell you the same thing?" Ask Emily again.

"Mama daydreaming?" Anders asked back.

"Yes, when I said I looked like Daddy..." That little girl.

Anders smiled bitterly, it was true that Ellia knew it all from Emily's story.

"Emmyl..." The call made the two men look over.

"Yes, Uncle was asked by your mother to pick you up." Fredy replied as he glanced at Anders. He saw the man's eyes look red as if he was crying.

"But Daddy Anders picked up Emily." Said Emily.

"But Mama told Emily to go home with Uncle." Bright Fredy. Emily looked confused, she looked at Anders and Fredy alternately.

"Then Daddy how?" Ask.

"Daddy Anders will go home alone." Fredy Sahut.

Anders remained silent, looking at Fredy's gaze which hinted to confirm his words. Anders breathed a heavy breath. Fredy must have known what happened.

Ellia would've kicked him out again if she saw him drive Emily home.

"Emily, you go home with Uncle Fredy alone." Said Anders later, albeit with a forced tone.

"Alright, Daddy. But today Daddy wants to play with me, right?" Ask Emily expectantly. Andres shook his head slowly while smiling bitterly.

"Emily, today can't. Since Daddy had to go back to the restaurant, Daddy was doing a lot of work." The answer. And the little girl immediately looked disappointed.

"Usually Uncle Jeff works, and Daddy plays with me." Her speech.

"Ehm, Uncle Jeff was very busy today, so Daddy had to help him." Timpal Anders, usually he always says that there is Jeff who does his job, so he can play with Emily.

"More of the day, Daddy will play with you again." Anders comforts Emily.

"All right Daddy..." Emily was forced.

"Come on Emily, we're home." Invite Fredy to end the conversation father and son.

"See you, Daddy..." The little girl's hand waved, Anders retorted where he stood. He looked at Emily who was walking away.

Somehow Anders felt afraid, afraid that this was the end of their meeting. Because Ellia would definitely not allow him again to see her daughter.

Ellia's shophouse hasn't been open since this morning. After Emily returns home from school, Ellia asks Fredy to go home and close the meeting.

Tonight the sky looked cloudy, not a single star had graced the sky that night.

Ellia and Emily are enjoying dinner. Emily's pair of hazel eyes were incessantly staring at the woman who had given birth to her.

"Mama why?" Ask Emily. Since school, Ellia hasn't talked to her daughter much. His heart was still muddled with the reality he had just received. And Emily could feel that her mother looked different.

Ellia raised her face that had lowered her head earlier and was just stirring her food.

"Mama's okay, sweetie." The answer is so slow. His voice still sounded raucous from crying for too long.

"Mama's sick?" Ask Emily again. Usually if you are not healthy, your mother is like this too. Think Emily.

"Mama's fine. Quickly finish your meal." Ellia's orders, Emily just nodded and started eating her dinner again.

Ting tong's.

There was a bell coming from outside and distracting the two.

"Mom has guests." Emily said she was going to sit up.

"Let Mama, you finish your meal." Prevent Ellia from making Emily not wake up.

Ellia went down the stairs to see who had come, but suddenly her steps stopped.

What if that guy comes?
