HATE Before LOVE
"I'm afraid again..failed again..."

"So how did you finally get rid of yourself and Lady Elif?" ask the police, after asking some questions earlier.

Gavin, Teddy, Hanna, Demir, Zehra and Adit all gathered in the VVIP room to listen to Ardan's description.

"Darling, could you please get me my watch?" pinta Ardan on Elif.

Elif took Ardan's watch from his bag and gave it to Ardan.

"With this I can untie the rope in my hands and my wife." Ardan raised his watch.

Gavin and Teddy smiled. Nod in understanding.

"Handshirt? How come?" ask the cop.

"Oh, this is no ordinary watch, Mr. cop." Answer Ardan.

"This is a watch I ordered specially in Germany. This watch can emit heat without smoke that can break the bonds of rope, rubber, duct tape, cable tissue and even iron, although it still takes time depending on how thick the fastening tool is used." Ardan.

"In addition, on the back of this, there was a small folding knife, this is what I used to cut the Elif rope while Daniel and Kinan were busy being surprised by my four cousins in vidiocall."

"Basic begundal," Chirps Hanna. "Had Gavin said Ardan must be fine, this Gavin instead said maybe you've been sitting around kissing."

Gavin scratching his head.

"Yes of course, Gavin and Teddy have the same clock" Ardan replied.

"From the short message Gavin sent, I knew something was wrong. And since my bond hasn't been broken, so I took the time to ask them to show me the Teddy videocall they were packing, I knew Teddy had Gavin saved, but I was quite surprised when there was someone there wearing a Teddy suit, but I knew right away it was Emre, my cousin, from the shoes he was wearing."

"Yes, Mr. Gavin sparked the idea, sir." Teddy.

"Yes, that was my idea." Gavin admitted proudly.

"How did you get those four kids involved? They must have been busy telling their hero's actions to all the families."

"I need to quickly let Teddy go, if I fight those two alone, it's gonna take time. So I called them, it turned out to be very useful." explains Gavin.

Question and answer sessions with some police ended after the information given was sufficient, the police left the place.

Shortly thereafter, Doctor Fadil arrives with a nurse. "Well, did I miss something?" ask Fadil.

"Ah, why are you just coming? You missed a great story." Ardan Sahut.

"Well, there was an emergency patient who had to have surgery early this morning." Fadil answered while attaching a stethoscope to Ardan's chest a few moments later he removed the object. "I think you can go home. Besides your arm, you're fine."

"Of course."

"I'll prescribe painkillers if the stitches hurt. And for a while don't lift heavy weights until your wounds are perfectly dry." Fadil glanced at Elif then looked at Ardan again, as if he knew what his cousin would do when he was alone with Elif.

***

Ardan asked everyone not to drive them to the apartment, just Teddy. If Mama Hanna, Papa Demir, Ms. Zehra, Adit, Gavin were to take her, when would she be...

So, now only Teddy is sitting in the front seat, driving with focus while in the back seat Ardan does not stop drowning his head on Elif's neck, kissing, nibbling slowly, nibbling, sniffing deeply into his wife's sweet scent. His hands actively caressed his arms, stomach and approached the chest. Occasionally Elif let out a sigh and hurriedly closed his mouth, trying to push Ardan because he felt uncomfortable with Teddy in front of them.

"Ardan.." whispered Elif.

"Hm..."

"There's Mr. Teddy." whispered Elif again.

"Ted, Ted, are you there?" ask Ardan.

But Teddy was silent.

"You hear me, there's no answer. It's not Teddy, it's a robot" Ardan said.

"Geez!" Pinch Elif waist Ardan firmly.

"Aw!"

"Pity Mr. Teddy if it's like this. Moreover Yura has not been memorized."

Instantly Teddy coughed.

***

A few minutes later they arrived at Ardan's apartment unit. Teddy just drove them until he put one of Elif's suitcases into the living room. Then Teddy very understandingly left the newlyweds without stalling.

Elif stood in the middle of the room, looking around the room. He gasped as a burly hand suddenly coiled around his slender waist.

"What's wrong?" asked Ardan in Elif's ear.

"Is this your apartment?"

"Our apartment, baby."

"I mean, is this the same apartment I used to come to clean and cook food for you?"

"Hm...."

"Which every morning and coming home from work is somehow always a lot of dirty dishes and glasses?"

"Hm..."

"What's always a mess when you don't like the most sloppy?"

"Hm..."

"Have you been pranking me on purpose?"

"Ah, are you still a grudge?" Ask Ardan while looking at Elif's stomach.

"Little." said Elif while chuckling. Then turned his body until they looked at each other. Their eyes are clashing with each other. There was no distance between the two, Elif's hand touched Ardan's chest which was a field, slowly their faces approached and...

The doorbell sounded.

"Goddessa!" Ardan.

Elif laughed. "Maybe it's not time yet, sir." said Elif, with a quick peek at Ardan's lips, then released himself from Ardan to open the door. Before opening, Elif looked first from the monitor screen, it turned out Zehra and Adit were coming.

"Mother and Adit" Elif told Ardan.

"I'm afraid again..failed again..." Ardan's Mumbling.

Elif opened the door for Adit and Zehra.

"Mother, Adit, come on in."

"Sorry to interrupt" Zehra said.

"What's disturbing."

"Mom just wants to take this away." Zehra gave a paper bag to Elif, he saw it turned out that the contents were thin blankets that Elif always used to sleep. "You can't sleep without this blanket."

"Geez, Mother." Elif hugged his mother and Adit.

"Come on, come on in, time to go home? We had lunch together. Isn't it baby?"

"Yes, of course!" Ardan said as he approached his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. He kissed the back of his mother-in-law's hand and ruffled Adit's hair.

"But we must be bothering you" Zehra said.

"Ish Mommy, what's bothering you anyway?"

"Yes, who knows Brother and Brother want to directly make ponakan for Adit."

Laughter instantly exploded from Ardan's mouth.

"Hush you!" Tegur Zehra's.

"Come in, not at the door like this."

They eventually break into Ardan's apartment unit and have lunch together.
