Let Me Love Your Wife (Not an Ex)
Back Together

On a rattan chair, in the middle of the park overlooking the pool, two people sit together while enjoying the night breeze.

They are Elle and Reyvan, two figures who each hold love in their hearts, but have yet to express it verbally. The state that once separated, now seemed to stretch the distance between them. Until finally, more domineering awkwardness, although actually more longing takes a role.

Minutes by minutes passed, leaving a puff of breath and puff of smoke from a cigarette that stayed half.

"Rey!" call Elle while staring fixedly at the face of the man who until now still occupies all the space in his heart.

Reyvan turned his head, looking at every inch of Elle's face. From a pair of blue eyes, ripe lips, as well as smooth cheeks that are slightly covered in bright brown hair. From the past until now the level remains perfect. According to Reyvan, Elle is the most beautiful woman he has ever met.

"Elle." Reyvan exhaled heavily while flicking the cigarette ash. "There's a lot of things I want to talk to you about, but I don't know where to start" he continued.

"What do you want to talk about?" Elle asked back. His gaze looked demanding, hoping for recognition and honesty.

Reyvan exhaled a long breath, "Much."

"About?"

"You .. us," Reyvan replied, throwing the rest of the cigarettes into the ashtray.

A few seconds later, Elle ventured to hold Reyvan's arm.

"Tell me what I want to say. Here, I will faithfully listen and give a response. You need to know, Rey, I'm the one who's still me" he said.

Elle purposely leads to feelings that once existed. He loved Reyvan so much, he could not wait to embroider the old story that had been torn apart. However, regardless of what was on Reyvan's mind right now, it was as if there was a lot of burden lashing out within him.

The heavy Han-village came out of Reyvan's lips, then there was a pause of a few seconds before he opened his voice.

"I'm no different from you, Elle. Love and longing nothing changes, still the same as it used to be. Although it was already burning with jealousy, but the sense of it still remained intact. But .. I realize, we're adults. It's not time to date again, but step into a more serious relationship. For that, I want to straighten things out before we step there. I don't want any past stumbling blocks in our lives." Reyvan paused for a moment, while Elle remained silent and digested the sentence after sentence Reyvan blurted out.

"Today I started straightening. I went to Maverick and .. I know what happened to him. Starting from his shortcomings, to his feelings for you," Reyvan continued.

Reyvan shook his head, "Complicated. On the one hand I really want to come back with you, but on the other hand I feel like a loser. Competing with someone who has no skills in their field."

"You're wrong, Rey. In togetherness is not only the 'it' thing that is the main reason, but also love. And love is my reason for parting ways with Maverick. I don't have that feeling for him" Elle said.

Reyvan was silent, just staring at Elle's face.

"From the beginning, it was this relationship we had, not Maverick. If now he loves me .. between pity and no, but I'll be selfish. I can't survive a relationship that I don't want. I don't want Maverick to be sad, but I don't want to sacrifice my happiness for his happiness either. Like I didn't want him to sacrifice for my happiness. I want all of us to be happy on different paths, without sacrificing each other" Elle said as Reyvan remained silent.

Slowly Reyvan smelled a smile. From Elle's words, she knows that she doesn't want the slightest desire to keep her marriage, which means there's also no love for Maverick.

Now Reyvan is convinced of his choice, proposing and marrying Elle.

Elle was right, she wasn't a loser, because from the beginning the relationship was theirs. While Maverick, the third person who came with a sudden. If it now ends sadly, maybe it's already a consequence because she uses the sense in the relationship based on coercion.

Cruel? Might as well. However, if the two of them are relented, willing to part to appreciate the feelings of Maverick, is not changing Maverick who bears a cruel predicate? Well, in a love that involves three hearts, there must be one side that is hurt.

But back to the very nature of love itself. Love is free to choose who it is anchored to, but it can only be fostered if it is greeted with the same taste. If it is forced on those who do not have it, then only the wounds and sufferings are obtained. Then, love will deviate from its true meaning.

"Elle, now I'm sure of how I feel. I love you, I want to come back with you and have a more serious relationship" Reyvan said, holding Elle's hands together.

"I love you too, Rey. Now I promise I won't leave you again. Whatever happens to me, I will always tell you. No matter what the problem is, we face it together" replied Elle.

Then, they embraced each other. Spilling longings that are only stored in the heart.

Reyvan, Elle, not a noble-hearted angel. They are just ordinary humans who have na*su and desires. When the love is still there and is at the same point, it will not be easy to let go again for the sake of others. It will be held and fought for their own future.

Seriate...
