Look at Me, Elle
Chapter 21 Drunk

Looking at Leonardo's eyes as well as his lips that smiled strangely like they wanted to get something, Brielle was even more unsure that the man had the intention to stop contacting her. Somehow Brielle even felt anxious and afraid of the days ahead.

Will Leonardo be relaxed or as the man asked? What is clear, Brielle will not serve the struggle Leonardo if indeed the former lover wants to fight to get it back.

"Enough. I don't want to hurt my best friend's feelings. Other than keeping her feelings in check, I can't love you" Brielle muttered before entering into dreamland.

He lay down next to his son and pulled the body of the three-year-old into his hands. "One day, El will meet papa. Om Onard is not Papa El."

Before closing his eyes, take the time to land his sweet lips on Elnathan's cheeks and forehead. After that, Brielle went down to the subconscious, letting the drowsiness take control of her.

Naomi who since Brielle's return has entered her private room. The woman was crying, between sad and happy. On the one hand, she also felt the sadness of Leonardo who received a separation, but on the other hand Naomi was also happy because she did not see her loved ones married to her own best friend.

"I want to meet you and comfort you, Nard," he muttered, hugging a strong pillow. Imagine if the soft object he hugged was the ex. "I want you to cry and pour it all on me, Nard. If I can talk to you well, I want to be with you now. I know, tonight you must not be calm and down."

While at the cafe owner's house as well as an ice cream shop with waffles, the man got a message from his sister who wanted to meet. Leonathan, who was working out in the gym, ended his run on the treadmill. Turn off the song, wipe the sweat with a towel hanging on the shoulder, and reply briefly to the message of the sister after the running sports equipment died.

At Leonardo's request, his brother came to his house. Leonathan doesn't talk much. Just greet Leonardo and put yourself in the living room without opening the conversation again. He knew very well, something was wrong with his younger brother. Seeing how disheveled and sad his brother was, Leonathan also knew that Leonardo had just drunk an alcoholic drink.

"There's no chance for me, Nath." Leonardo leaned his limp body on the body of the sofa. Not looking at his face, but his hand had already touched his forehead. Massaging the base of his nose while closing his eyes.

"Just forget him" Leonathan briefly before his right hand snatched one of the alcoholic bottles on the table. Then pour the colorless contents onto the glass. "Women aren't just her in a world this big and wide" she added lightly. "If the woman is addressed by God to you, believe me, no one will be able to be with her but you."

"It's hard to let him go and let him decide something this big, Nath." Leonardo coughed, then opened his eyes and tried to sit upright with his hands reaching for his glass. "You don't know what it's like to be in my current position, Nath. You never know what it's like when you're on a serious level, but suddenly your woman decides. Isn't that too cruel?"

"If you've known it's cruel, what do you think of it for? Forget it, and let another woman fill your void."

"But I can give you advice." Leonardo silenced his lips before he lay down on the living room sofa. "You can't force it either." Leonardo threw a questionable gaze until half his body woke up. "Yes, no matter what his decision was, he dared to be honest. I don't mean to defend him, but try to think. Best to you yourself, especially, Nard."

"From which side? He left me when we were almost married, and he also said that he had been trying to love me, Nath! Well from where?!"

"You better know it late than not. Wouldn't it be more dangerous and painful if you knew all his falsehoods after marrying him?" Leonathan drew his lips closer to the glass and gulped down its contents while looking at his gawking younger brother. "Try to think well."

Put the glass into place and fold your hands in front of your chest. "Stop getting drunk and think about it all with a cool head." Leonardo took a breath and returned to the ground by closing his eyes tightly. "If he's cruel, you don't deserve it, Nard. Marry a much better woman."

"But I still love him. You don't get it. My feelings can't be turned away from her."

"Only a fool who does not understand himself has been fooled. Use wits. Don't want you to be controlled by your feelings, Nath. If you're like this, I'm more convinced that you're a weak man! Prove to him that you can stand alone, without his false love you can rise!"

Leonardo only glanced for a moment, then completely closed his eyes after turning the body so that his head did not face Leonathan. The man had fallen asleep, the effects of alcohol could also be unconscious as now. Leonathan, who could not go home because his brother had gone to the subconscious, finally decided to lie down on the sofa he now sits on.

The next morning, Leonathan arrived in front of Naomi's flower shop. His arrival there was solely to try to get closer to Elnathan and ask Brielle's permission to let the woman chat and give him a chance to talk. Until finally a red car arrived there, in the flower shop's parking lot, coupled with Leonathan's black car.

Little Elnathan who just came out of the side door of the wheel immediately ran towards him. A surprised Leonathan could only look at Elnathan with a surprised look, not even knowing what to do when the boy widened his smile before him. "Hi" said Leonathan as the three-year-old hugged his leg. "You want me to carry El?"

"No one's gonna let you do that!" screech someone who comes down with a bag shaped car and walk towards Elnathan and Leonathan. "Mom asked El to go into the store first."

Elnathan who was afraid to hear the tone of his mother turned his head. "Yes Mama" he said obediently and took off his tightly coiled hand at Leonathan's feet. At once Leonathan felt himself rejected by Brielle. Feeling lost when both of them ignored his presence and chose to enter the store.

"Please, Elle .. talk to me for a minute, all for El's sake" Leonathan asked before the woman passed the shop door. Turning around, Brielle only stared for a moment, very briefly. Then enter the store just like that while holding Elnathan's tiny hand. "I'll bring you into my life, I swear to it."
