Let Me Love Your Wife (Not an Ex)
Final Stadium

An adult man whose good looks exceeded that of a young man is now standing in front of a mirror. His black eyes stared at every inch of appearance, from head to toe.

"It seems like enough," he murmured softly.

He was satisfied with his current appearance. Although not formal, but looks elegant and charismatic. The sturdy field body that is often dreamed of by women, wrapped in long white shirts and long pants. While his pompadour-style hair is neatly combed and not allowed to touch the face.

The man who was none other than Maverick, suddenly smiled bitterly as he looked at his handsome face. Suddenly he remembered his dark side, a thing that kept him locked in a wound.

"Ahh, if only__" Maverick muttered softly as he grabbed the mint-scented parfume bottle that became his trademark.

No time Maverick sprayed the parfume, suddenly his phone rang. Maverick paused his activities and switched to bed— to where his phone lay.

"Hallo," said Maverick.

Someone across the street told me something important about the task Maverick gave me. Then, he smiled after hearing a long speech.

"Do it!" maverick's orders to his interlocutors.

Before long, Maverick hung up the phone and put his phone in his pants pocket. For a few seconds, Maverick smiled obliquely as he raised both eyebrows. I don't know what he's thinking.

After which, Maverick rushed out of the room and headed for Elle's room. He'll take his wife to hospital—take an antiretroviral for Aurora.

"Elle! Elle!" call Maverick and knock on the door.

There is no truth from within. Then Maverick called back.

"Elle! Elle!"

Still no answer.

"Has he come down?" inner Maverick.

The next second, Maverick again called out in a louder voice. Yet again, only silence.

Outraged, Maverick decided to open the room, to confirm the presence of Elle— in the room or had gone down to the bottom floor.

"Gelle!"

Maverick was stunned when he opened the door. He looked at Elle who had just come out of the bathroom. The smooth white body is only wrapped in a towel, so that the cleavage and thighs are clearly visible.

"Why did you come in here!" scream Elle. He panicked and crossed his arms around his chest. However, the hemisphere was still poking beautifully between her tapered hands.

"Sorry." Maverick answered briefly while closing the door tightly. Then, he returned to his room with quick steps.

Upon arrival in the room, Maverick sat on the edge of the bed looking down. Then he realized, reality is still as bitter as ever.

Too long Maverick contemplated his life, until he did not realize time had passed almost half an hour. He forgot his agenda to see Doctor Mayang, but now the needle has shown the number three.

Until finally, Maverick realized when the door of the room was knocked from the outside. Spontaneous he went and threw away regretful thoughts about his life.

When opening the door, Maverick's eyes were immediately treated to a beautiful object, namely the beautiful face of Elle who looked charming in a yellow knee-length dress. Her hair was stroked and partially covered her half-open shoulders.

"Is ... ready?" asked Elle nervously.

Elle felt awkward because of the incident just now. Although it is not wrong for Maverick to see his body, but he is not willing, especially if the man demands more.

"Yes." Yeah."

After answering briefly, Maverick went straight downstairs, ignoring Elle who was still unmoved in front of his room. Honestly, Maverick was slightly offended by Elle's ever-vigilant attitude.

"Ish, it's left behind" grumbled Elle. Luckily, he was already used to wearing high hells. So, no difficulty even though stepping fast.

"Why silence?" maverick asked after halfway through the trip and Elle remained silent.

"No .. It's okay. Just ... think of Aurora. She was alone at home" replied Elle.

"on your own? There's Kinan loh, there's Rani, there's another waiter too." Maverick glanced at me.

"I mean .. there's no us." Elle tried to smile even though her feelings were turbulent. The two with Maverick made him uncomfortable and often prejudiced.

"I won't touch you by force! If that's what you're afraid of," Maverick said firmly, as if he understood what Elle was thinking.

"I .. i___"

"I'm not a coward who would kill a woman, even if it's my wife" Maverick said without looking.

Elle did not answer. He just looked down while arranging a heart that continues to rage. I don't know, he's still worried and not one hundred percent sure about Maverick's words.

"What are your words still to hold, if in the next few months I am not ready to give you your due?" inner Elle with a head that is getting down, until unknowingly Maverick repeatedly looked at him.

"I'm sorry that I ensnared you in a different way, all because of your stubborn ex. Elle, I'm not letting you go. I still need your role as Aurora's mother" Maverick said in his heart.

______________

The sun is increasingly leaning towards the west, the rays of his throne gushed beautifully at the foot of the clear sky. Between the slow wind, Elle and Maverick walk in the hospital yard. Elle's feelings grew more chaotic after hearing the explanation of Doctor Mayang, who said that Aurora's disease was late stage.

"May there be a miracle for him. Although there is no blood relation, but I would not be willing if he left at an early age. I hope he grows up healthy to adulthood. But___" Elle nodded while biting her lips. His memory returned a few minutes ago, when Mayang explained Aurora's condition, which most likely did not last long.

"Go home or do you still want to buy something?" maverick asked when they arrived at the parking lot.

"Home home" Elle replied in a raucous voice.

Maverick glanced at him. Then, open the car door and sit in front of the wheel. He didn't ask any questions because a few already knew what Elle was thinking.

When the wife was sitting next to him, Maverick turned his head with a long sigh. Then, his hands stretched out and grasped Elle's fingers.

"That's why I married you. I want to make Aurora happy in her last moments. All this time, one thing he really hoped for, namely mother," Maverick said.

Elle had yet to reply, only her blue eyes were fixedly staring at Maverick.

"You're right, I chose you because your face is similar to Devara, which automatically resembles Aurora. Elle, I did force you, but I will not destroy your future. If Aurora has ... no need for you, I'm willing to end this marriage. I realized there was no love between us and we shouldn't be together. But, right now I really need your role for Aurora. So please, Elle, for now remain my wife" Maverick continued with a sad look.

Elle has trouble swallowing. He knew the word 'needless' Maverick uttered was a subtle allusion to the word 'death'. No matter how much he loves Reyvan, now he has to give up for Aurora. The little girl was expecting her presence.

"Yes." Yeah." Elle nodded. "It's not that I betrayed your love, Rey, but I'm stuck in a difficult position. I can't bear to see a girl as small as Aurora suffer, let alone .. ah," she said in her heart.

"Thank you, Elle. I promise I won't trouble you as long as we're in this marriage. I too ... will return your parents' business," Maverick said.

Elle responded with a nod and a smile.

"Mas, does that also apply to Aurora's recovery? If there's a miracle and Aurora's fully healed, will you also let me go?" elle asked with a slight hesitation.

Maverick smiled, "Of course."

Elle breathes a sigh of relief. Although HIV AIDS is a deadly disease and there is no cure, Elle believes in the miracle of God.

"I will pray at all times for Aurora's healing. May it be granted, "inner Elle.

"She is a gentle hearted woman. Coercion will not make him sympathize. So, I'm going to take that sympathy in a subtle way" Maverick's inner.

Seriate...
