Let Me Love Your Wife (Not an Ex)
Feckless

"Lusa Tuan Rey will fly to Spain and tender for a project" one man said.

"Leave it. Don't be helped or blocked!" maverick's orders.

"But, if he wins the tender, it is most likely that he can grow his business there. The ambition is huge, sir. Once there's a chance, it's not impossible to crawl up and keep pace with you."

"No problem." Maverick answered the origin. "As a man it must be great so that in the future the woman is not captured by people anymore. Especially ... if the woman is as perfect as Elle" he continued in his heart.

"But, sir, is that good for you and Miss Elle?" Someone across the street is returning an opinion.

"I pay you to watch Reyvan's movements, not interfere in my personal affairs. Understood?" answer Maverick.

"Good, Sir."

After hanging up the phone, Maverick returned to the dining room. Then, eat lunch while joking with his small family.

"God is never fair!" maverick's inner self when he sees Elle's smile.

If he was no different from other men, there was a sense that Elle was not a bad thing. However, with his current condition, it was impossible for Maverick to let those feelings continue to grow. He doesn't want to be selfish. Just for Aurora's sake she acted like that.

"Daddy, so swim, right?" aurora asked, breaking Maverick's daydream.

"swimming? Will it be late afternoon? After this, Aurora will take a nap," Maverick replied complete with a smile, though his heart was very chaotic.

"Sleep later. I'm going to go swimming first."

Seeing Aurora who began to sulk, Maverick no longer refused. He obeyed the wishes of his little girl.

Half an hour after lunch, they together headed for the pool in the backyard. Maverick and Aurora swim, while Elle just waits by the pool. Sometimes Elle laughs when she sees her husband and children, she joked cheerfully.

"He loved Aurora so much that he immortalized her name in a tattoo" Elle said when she saw Maverick bare-chested.

On the man's back, there was a tattoo with the inscription 'Aurora' which was quite large. Alongside the writing, there are wings that flap. In addition to the back, Maverick also has a similar tattoo on the left chest. Only, the size is very small. The shape is not clear if it is not seen in close proximity.

"You're not interested?" asked Maverick who suddenly had pulled over and approached Elle. While Aurora, still playing with her favorite buoy in the middle of the pool.

"I can't swim" replied Elle.

"They're shallow, just as small as Aurora. You can't drown." Maverick chuckles.

"I know, but." Elle laughed.

A few seconds later, Maverick climbed to the edge of the pool and sat down beside Elle. Wet hair and face make the level of good looks more charming. However, it cannot shift Reyvan's charm in Elle's heart.

"Mas!" call Elle.

"Hm."

"You ... Why not marry the woman you really love? Why did you choose me yesterday? If Devara is already impossible for you to have, shouldn't you open your heart to another woman? No way, right, you keep shackled by the past? Once Aurora grows up, she will understand that her parents are no longer a match. So, there's no need to constantly lie" Elle said at length.

He wondered what made Maverick unable to turn away from Devara and willingly shackled in dark times.

"I can't." Maverick answered briefly.

"Other than Devara, there can't be another woman who would love me. I'm different, Elle," Maverick concluded. I don't know what drives him to be forthright.

"Different? Is that rumor ... right?" elle asked hesitantly because so far, he did not see the attitude of a gay person in Maverick.

"Gossip is wrong, but .. reality is worse than gossip" Maverick replied blankly.

Elle was stunned for a long time after hearing Maverick's reply, a confession she thought was still gray.

"I ... do not understand, Mas," said Elle because Maverick was also silent.

"I'm a weak man, Elle. My manhood doesn't work at all" Maverick said.

Despite the embarrassment, Maverick was relieved to share his burden with Elle. Ever since Devara left, all the chaos was only kept alone and it made her mind feel claustrophobic.

"Le-weak?" Elle repeated Maverick's words.

"Yes. Six months after graduating from high school, something happened that made me experience it." Maverick is back. "That's why I got married late. With these circumstances, how can I make the woman I married happy. So instead of being selfish, I'd rather live alone. I married you only for Aurora's sake. The doctor has explained how his condition, most likely .. the rest of his age is not much. I just want to be happy while God is still allowing him to breathe" he continued.

Elle is confused because Maverick's confession contradicts Aurora's existence. Maybe a weak man can have a child. Absolutely impossible!

"If you're like that, how can there be an Aurora?" elle asked with a slight hesitation.

"Aurora's Devara's son, she's not my real daughter. But I loved him more, even more than myself. Aurora is like a star in my dark life. In her ... I see Devara's shadow." This time Maverick is out. His breathing roar looked heavy and stifled, as if something was squeezing his chest.

"Then, who's Aurora's father?" Elle asked again. "I'm sorry if I sassy, i___"

"Eitherway. Devara's having a very difficult time. Circumstances always corner and put him in a position with no choice. She had to be a woman of the night. As a result of that work, he contracted a virus like the one that infects Aurora today" Maverick said. He explains piece by piece the dark story of his life with Devara.

"Then, how's Devara doing now? He's fine, right?" Elle is suddenly worried and worried about Devara's situation.

"Yes, he's fine. At least .. No need to feel pain." Maverick looked up and repeatedly let out a rough breath. An attitude that reflects deep sadness.

"Mas, he's fine, right?" Elle repeats the question because she is unsure of Maverick's answer. The man said fine, but his expression was as if saying something else.

"You asked what made us part, and then I answered the difference. Yes, he and I are different. But, not different opinions or feelings, but different worlds. Devara was at peace by his side, Elle," said Maverick, who then made Elle jerk.

Elle immediately closed her mouth so that her screeches were only inward and not heard in Maverick's ears. When the two were still silent, Elle tried to remember her conversation the other day.

"He took Devara from me. I can't fight because my life is in his control."

The name 'he' which was previously interpreted as a great man, turned out to be a name for God. No wonder Maverick said that his life was in his control.

"I'm sorry about Devara and Aurora" Elle said moments later.

"I purposely kept all of this a secret from the public because I didn't want my privacy compromised. Let them, by their own supposition, know not my true condition, nor the state of Aurora and Devara."

"I understand, Mas. I too ... will keep this a secret" Elle said.

"Yes." Yeah." Maverick nodded, then returned to the middle of the pool and played with Aurora. He deliberately avoided because he was not ready to explain the origin of his weakness.

Seriate...
