Let Me Love Your Wife (Not an Ex)
Disputes


The hour hand shows the number twelve exactly and the scorching sun is really stinging. However, it did not dampen the activities of the citizens of the Capital City. Roads remain congested, with even some vehicles racing against each other between pollution and dust. No exception Elle, the young woman was also present in the middle of the noisy city.


Inside her yellow Yaris car, Elle continues to focus on the steering, her goal being Miyumi Cafe. He's gonna meet Reyvan there.


Elle dared to come because Maverick had given permission. In addition, Elle also has important things that will be discussed with Reyvan. That's why, here he is right now.


After a long drive, Elle arrives at the courtyard of Miyumi's Cafe. Elle gave a smile before getting out of the car. He recalled the past moments, very often visiting that place with Reyvan.


"May one day we can get back together. I love you so much, Rey," muttered Elle.


Shortly after, Elle got off and stepped into the cafe. His darts stole the attention of several pairs of eyes that were there. Understandably, the face is always beautiful and charming even though it does not use a thick mekap.


A step after passing through the door, Elle's eyes were fixed on the figure of the man sitting in the corner of the room. In the original rolled up trousers and long shirt, Reyvan's handsome face looked even more charming. Plus a cigarette tucked between his fingers, Reyvan's power is getting more noticeable.


"Rey!" call Elle when you get to Reyvan.


Reyvan looked over and squinted. In his gaze, it was not Elle's face that became the main topic, but the lies he had done.


"Sit down!" said Reyvan in a flat tone.


Elle nodded and then sat down in front of Reyvan. He called the waiter and ordered food and drinks. While waiting for orders, Elle mince words asking Reyvan news. Unfortunately, the man only responded to her alakadar.


"I also have something I want to talk about. This ... relates to our relationship" Elle said.


"Before you say anything else, try to explain first about Alroy. I want to know where he is and what his condition is" Reyvan said.


Elle flinched and shut her mouth for a moment. He didn't think Reyvan would ask that. Something that somehow explains it.


Reyvan breathed a rough breath while putting cigarette butts into the ashtray. His eyes continued to stare at Elle who was still nervous and misbehaved.


"You don't want to explain anything, Elle?" reyvan asked breaking the silence between them.


Elle took a deep breath before answering Reyvan's question.


"He was sick" he said briefly.


"Since when?"


Elle was silent.


"Since I haven't known you?" search Reyvan.


"Sorry." Elle. "Sister Al is ashamed to admit his circumstances" he continued.


Reyvan chuckled in annoyance, "Don't he know what our relationship is like?"


"That's exactly it, Rey, Brother Al is afraid of you ilfill. He does not want his condition to be a barrier in our relationship" said Elle.


"Barrier? You think I'm a cowardly man, who only wants to be with you and reject your family. That so?" Reyvan starts to get emotional.


"It's not so, Rey. I ... I've persuaded him many times. But, Brother Al remained in his stance. He doesn't want you to know his condition" replied Elle.


"Don't just throw the blame on him. I know you think so too." Reyvan said as he got up from his seat.


"If you disagree with your brother, then you have been honest about his situation for a long time. Two years we've been together, do you still not believe that I can keep a secret?" cut Reyvan.


"Rey, I mean not so." Elle's voice was trembling. He knew Reyvan's emotions this time were not playful.


"Then what was it like?"


"Sorry." Just an apology Elle could say. He realized that keeping Alroy's situation a secret was not the right thing, but how else, everything was already overdue.


"Two years is not a short time, but .. it still can not convince you that I am a man who deserves you love. The circumstances of your brother, the difficulties of your family, all you keep secret. In fact, you dare to make a big decision alone. Not one bit to ask for my opinion. I know, Maverick's a great man, but I'm not a weak man either, Elle. I'm still quite capable of protecting my woman .. if she can appreciate me and involve me" Reyvan said at length.


Elle bit her lip. On the one hand he regretted his decision, but on the other hand also justified that decision.


"I'm doing this for you. I don't want to see you destroyed" Elle said in a soft voice.


"Yes, I am a weak and stupid man. One blink, Maverick can destroy me. I see, right?" sindir Reyvan's.


"Rey, it's not that." Elle grabbed Reyvan's arm. But quickly the man dodged.


"That night .. you came to my place with a gun. Where would you get that gun if it wasn't from Maverick? Your relationship with her is much closer than I imagined, Elle." Reyvan spoke while throwing his face away, avoiding Elle's sad gaze.


Elle was cornered, unable to answer Reyvan's words anymore. Justifying or refuting are both wrong. The gun belonged to his father, but to be honest it was also impossible. For a long time, he has not told the background of his family, which was once a conglomerate in Spain.


"Thank you for everything, Elle. You were the first woman to introduce me to the meaning of love, hurt, and disappointment." Reyvan squeaked and then stepped away from Elle.


However, the woman held his hand and forced him to stop.


"There's something I want to talk about" whispered Elle.


Reyvan did not reply and simply stared at Elle at a glance.


"His daughter is sick and needs a mother figure, that's why she married me. If the child is healed, we will divorce. I hope ...our story can start again, Rey. I know I was wrong a lot, but .. I did it all because my love for you crossed the line. I'm so afraid you're hurt or suffering. All I hope for is your happiness, even if it's a wound for me" said Elle. This time, with tears.


"Your words are very sweet, but contrary to your attitude. If your love is that big, you'll involve me in everything." Reyvan closed for a moment. He tried to temper the emotions that were about to explode.


"I am a fool. Because it's too much love, so it can't use logic well." Elle wiped her tears. "I don't have any more explanations. I know you're disappointed and whatever I say you won't believe" he said.


Within a few seconds, both of them were silent. In fact, the servant who came was simply ignored. When the food and drinks were on the table, Reyvan and Elle were still in place. Finally, the dish only bears a silent witness in their dispute.


"When will the child recover?" reyvan asked after a long silence.


Elle responded with a rough breath. His memory returns to Aurora's condition, which he can't tell when he'll heal or maybe even die.


"If you don't know when he's going to heal, then what about your expectations just now? You want our story back, when you don't know when it's time. There are many possibilities, Elle, you fell in love with Maverick for example. If so, then what about me? I waited for you to rust and you were happy with him. Don't you think that's selfish, Elle?" Reyvan spoke again because Elle was still silent.


"I promise I won't keep you waiting long" replied Elle.


"What I need is not a promise, but proof." After saying so, Reyvan immediately left and did not care about Elle's hopeful gaze.
