L'Amour Vrai
Episode 24: Random Question

Happy reading♡

After talking for a while, Rafael decided to take El to dinner. Everything was prepared by Rafael with the help of Griss.

Rafael pulls out a chair for El to sit on. El thanked him and sat down. Then he waited for Rafael to sit down to eat together.

"There's this one I'm telling you, but we better eat first" Rafael said. El nodded and opened the food cover. Instantly surprised to see it. He turned towards Rafael with a look of disbelief. How could he know El's favorite food.

"Eat. If you just look at it, the food won't run out" Rafael said. El nodded and fed the food in front of him. Instantly his eyes sparkled with the taste of the food. El looked at Rafael as if asking for an explanation.

"I know you really like that food. The last time you tried it was three years ago when you joined your parents in Indonesia. The fried rice, specially made by the chef I invited directly from Indonesia" explained Rafael. Of course El was surprised. Rafael can know that in detail. But he never told me. When El asked again, Rafael spoke first.

"Use the food first. Only then can you ask" said Rafael. El happily returned to feed the fried rice. It sounded better, but the first time he tried fried rice, he immediately fell in love with it. I don't know what he first felt when he ate it. It was just that the taste of the fried rice was other than the others. Tasty. Very very good.

So greedy, El did not realize if some rice crumbs were left at the end of his lips. Rafael chuckles at him. He also moved his body. He stretched out his hand towards El's lips to clean some of the rice that was stuck.

Because he was used to being treated special by Rafael. El was silent. But his heartbeat has been pounding ever since.

"Saking greedy, until you don't offer me" Rafael said.

"Sorry" great-granddaughter El.

"Haha it's okay El, I'm just kidding. Do you want any more?" Ask Rafael.

"No, I'm full of Raf" said El.

"Alright" said Rafael then called the waiter to clean up their food marks.

"Oh yeah, you said there's something you want to talk about" El said.

"Ah, yes it is. Do you have a lover? Or is there a man close to you?" Ask Rafael to the point.

"Love huh? Do you think it's good that I have a lover?" Ask El.

"What do you mean, miss?" Rafael did not understand. Because he asked but now even El asked back.

"No, I don't have a lover. And for the men I'm close to, it looks like it's just daddy, Billie and you" El said.

"really?" Ask Rafael.

"Yup" said El.

"How do you feel about me? Is it just the comfort you feel?" Ask Rafael.

"I don't know" said El.

"How is that possible?" Ask Rafael.

"I really don't know Rafael" El said. Rafael just nodded his head.

"Now, may I ask" said El.

"Sure, what do you want to ask" Rafael said.

"You knew that woman when we were having lunch together at the cafe?" Ask El.

"You could say yes. I only know his father, not too close either. Just as a business partner" Rafael explained.

"But why did she claim to be your future wife?".

"He was like that a long time ago. I've been uncomfortable, but I've always ignored it. Too lazy to serve it" said Rafael.

"Then with Anita?" Ask El.

"He was like an ordinary sister. If he's overreacting like you saw back then, it's just his feelings. I don't have any feelings for him myself".

"Now, can I ask again?" Rafael.

"From that moment you were talking Mr. Levent" said El, Rafael only chuckling.

"Well, do you remember just one memory of when you were a kid?" Ask Rafael.

"I don't know Raf, I want to remember him. But when I try to remember it, surely my head will feel very dizzy" explained El.

"How come?".

"I don't know either" said El indifferently.

"alright. Honestly El, I'm really happy to get a little bit started to get to know you" Rafael said.

"Me too" said El.

"Oh yeah, do you have any friends?" Ask Rafael.

"Of course there is. They are abroad right now" El said.

"Working?".

"No, they're on vacation. Maybe it's just me who went straight to work after receiving a specialist education graduation" said El.

"Didn't you want to take a vacation?" Ask Rafael.

"Of course I want to. But, I was thinking about Raf again. I better accept a job offer from your hospital at that time" said El.

"Why?".

"Because I don't have to have a hard time finding Raf's job. That's why I immediately accepted it" said El.

"It looks like you're so scared you can't get a job?" Ask Rafael.

"Yes, of course. Yes even if later if I am not accepted to work at any hospital, I still work in the office owned by daddy or grandfather later" said El.

"But that's not my wish. I just want to devote myself to the hospital. I'm very happy if I can help them recover from their illness. Although only as an intermediary, because everything is destined not god" said El again make Rafael amazed. Rafael has just learned the other side of El.

"Is it okay if I like you someday?" Ask Rafael.

"Huh?! Mean you?" El asked for an explanation.

"Nobody knows the destiny in El's future. Maybe I could like you" Rafael said, leaving El speechless. To be honest, he was very afraid if one day the fate was to happen.

"Why?" Rafael asked who was standing next to El. El raised his face to look at Rafael. There was something radiating from El's eyes. Rafael can feel that.

"What's wrong?" Ask Rafael again.

"May I hug you?" Ask El. Rafael smiled then spread his hands. A sign that he agreed to El's request. El who saw him smiled and immediately rushed into Rafael's arms.

He had no idea what he was feeling or thinking right now. He was getting his embrace. Rafael himself felt strange about El's behavior. But he didn't want to ask.

"I want to go home" said El outlining his embrace.

"good. Let's go home" said Rafael holding El's hand to go outside the house. They were eating in the back garden of the house. El got in the car and so did Rafael. He immediately drove his car to Meinhard's residence followed by several cars carried by his bodyguard.
