HATE Before LOVE
Feelings of not willing.

This morning the doctor came back to check with the nurse who was still very stealing look at Ardan who looks very striking with black collared T-shirts and black jeans and sneakers. His slightly brownish hair was always neatly combed back so that it showed perfectly every line of Ardan's firm face like there was no gap in the flaws.

"It's nice that Miss Elif, this is quite surprising, but the swelling is not felt anymore" said the doctor.

Elif also smiled widely, as well as Ardan who made the nurse even became wrong.

"We'll do USG checking after this yes, to make sure. If the result is good. Miss Elif will be outpatient starting tomorrow. But on a note it should remain cautious" the doctor said.

"Good Doc."

After finishing the examination, the officer who delivered the food came with a menu that was still not much development.

After breakfast, a nurse came in with a wheelchair. The nurse and Ardan help Elif to sit in a wheelchair and Ardan pushes the chair to follow the nurse walking in front of them to the USG room. It did not take long until finally the doctor told me that the results of USG Elif had been very good. Quite surprising also considering just yesterday Elif fell in the bathroom but now the bruised part of his intestine has recovered, no longer swollen, no longer bruised, but it still leaves a little pain.

"This must be because during the treatment Miss Elif did not feel stress and tended to be happy. That's why recovery happens so quickly" said the doctor.

Both Elif and Ardan were just smiling.

"You're very good at looking after and caring for Miss Elif." The doctor praised Ardan.

After the doctor gives a prescription, and some other things that Elif can and should not do first in a few weeks, and then, Elif and Ardan return to the room with Ardan pushing Elif in a wheelchair. No one's talking. They were both silent and immersed in their own thoughts. Unbeknownst to them they are immersed in similar thoughts. That is not willing to lose their moment together for three days.

Three very precious days for Ardan. Three days that made Elif feel so special. Three days that have made two people who have hated each other become friends with different feelings.

In front of the door of the VVIP room, there was Teddy there. Stand like a royal guard. He brought a brown map with a red line. Ardan knew what Teddy was carrying at the time was not a job document. It was an envelope containing whatever information Ardan had assigned Teddy. Just like the envelope containing information about Gavin and Elif's previous relationship. And other confidential information.

"It looks like Mr. Teddy has another job document with him" Elif said.

"Eh, yes, it seems."

"Good morning sir, good morning Miss Elif."

"Pag- uh, did Mr. Teddy just call me? Miss Elif?" Elif cringing.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Don't! Well, what the fuck use all call me Miss. Just call Elif as usual, sir." Elif Protest.

"Teddy." Chirp Ardan.

"Huh?"

"You call me Ardan, you can also call him Teddy, no need to wear sir. In a formal situation." Ardan also protested.

While Teddy did not understand what the two men were protesting. But Teddy still sculpts him a thousand languages.

"Ah, then can Teddy be my friend too?" Ask Elif.

"Can, if he wants." replied Ardan.

"Hows it? Do you want to be my friend, Ted?" Elif grinned wide at Teddy, who was only replied with a blank look and a flat expression.

"Huh, it seems like he doesn't want to" Elif said as he put his shoulder around. "But I will still call you Teddy without Sir, because it is impolite that I call you Sir but I call Ardan without Sir. Okay?"

"None right."

"Don't call me Miss, my God! Elif!"

"Okay, Miss Elif."

"Geez!"

Ardan eventually became a mediator. "Look, Teddy will call you Miss outside the office, but in the office he will call you as usual. How's it?"

"But why should I keep calling me Miss? I'm not even his boss." Elif remains a nutmeg.

"Because Miss Elif is the girl Mr. Ardan loves, therefore I will call you Miss Elif."

"Hey, you don't know? Now Ardan and I are friends. We're friends."

"It's just that you're the girl Mr. Ardan loves."

"Whoah!" Elif blew on the strands of her hair that had been so upset.

"Well, you gave me goosebumps! Turns out you're more of a bitch than Mr. Ardan." Elif clucked. Ardan only chuckled then pushed Elif into the room, helping him back into bed.

"Let's rest, I'll discuss the work outside for a while, but don't worry because me and Teddy will still be at the door."

The elif just nodded. The mood is already ugly because of the stubborn Teddy.

***

Teddy gives Ardan the envelope after Ardan closes the door.

"Is this the information I asked for?"

"Yes sir."

"Is the information good or bad?"

"It's better not to let Miss Elif know."

Ardan let out a listless sigh. This is what he was worried about, there was something wrong between this father and son relationship.

"alright. Thank you Ted."

"Together Sir." replied Teddy. "Can I help you before I go to the office?"

"Oh yeah, please buy some clothes for Elif, tomorrow he can come back home."

"Good Sir. This afternoon I'll drop off my clothes for Miss Elif. Is there another sir?"

"Nothing."

"Do you want me to buy you some chicken porridge again?"

"Are you running or what?"

"Sorry sir, I just asked."

***

Elif was sleeping when Ardan read the information file Teddy had collected. His heart was completely menggelos read every information that was on every sheet. His sick heart knew the truth about Elif. If his heart could be as painful and as sad as this, Ardan did not know what would happen to Elif if he knew the truth about himself that had never been told to him.

Ardan closed the file, he sighed again, looking softly at the woman who was asleep there. Her face was so calm and peaceful and so beautiful.

Ardan doesn't know if he can release the Elif back home? Regardless of his guard, his protection, was far from him. After today Ardan is no longer possible to let Elif work like he used to, there will be no more Elif who came home to his apartment just to prepare dinner when before there was Elif, there will be no more Elif, he rarely eats dinner. Only have dinner if there is a meeting with a client at the restaurant. There would be no more Elif who had come early in the morning just to prepare him a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. Is Ardan ready to return on his lonely days? No Ardan no longer wants days without Elif. He can't. The smell of Elif was also the smile of Elif, even his jutek face had made Ardan so addicted.

But he's a nobody, he's just a CEO who's been flatly rejected by a simple girl full of surprises like Elif.

Elif wriggled slowly, quickly Ardan hid the envelope under another work file, so as not to cause suspicion.

"You hungry?" asked Ardan to walk closer.

Elif shaking. "Mister Teddy's gone?"

"Teddy," Ardan Correction. "Yes, he's back in the office. He just gave me the important work file. After that I mocked whether I wanted chicken porridge again or not."

Elif chuckles. "Can he joke too? I don't think he can joke."

"It can, but you won't be able to tell if he's joking or not, because his facial expression remains the same."

Ardan helped Elif to sit down. Ah, actually Elif does not like this position, because it always causes a strange gelenyar taste in his stomach.

"It's convenient?"

Elif nodded.

"Are you ready to go home tomorrow?"

"Yes. Geez, I just remembered, I don't have any clothes to wear tomorrow home."

"Look, Teddy's gonna buy it."

"Oh, okay- uh what? Teddy bought it?"
