Look at Me, Elle
Chapter 26 Surprise

"Where are you, Elle? Why is this clock not visible?" his murmur that could not take his eyes off the simple building, where Elnathan was typed and studied. Leonathan is in front of Elnathan's education, certainly without the knowledge of the boy or Brielle. Even the woman has not shown up, picked up her son.

During his stay in the car for about fifteen minutes, Leonathan had not seen any signs of Brielle coming. Yes, the man was still languishing in a black car parked a few meters from Elnathan's school. He who was bored enough to open his phone and want to check the news from Alice, his best friend who is still trusted to manage the cafe Mixture in Bali. Until his eyes diverted suddenly when he saw a car stop right in front of his son's school.

"Finally you came too" she whispered as soon as she saw the rearview mirror, Brielle getting off a clean white car. She also attended Elnathan's school. "I'll meet you," she immediately got out of the car, opened the door and slammed it not too hard and then put on her sunglasses and swung her legs, crossed over.

With a firm step makes his chest that field so printed in a plain blue shirt, no exception muscle arms. Black trousers and matching color shoes were able to move the head of the woman who was originally gossiping, turned towards him, so unexpectedly by Leonathan, they could all be stunned by his good looks. Seen from the faces of the mothers beaming when looking at him.

However, the look of the handsome burly man was only on one woman who also threw a gaze at him, so suddenly Leonathan could also see the surprised look of Brielle so clearly.

"Is it still a long time?" leonathan asked who immediately placed himself to the right of Brielle. Don't forget his left hand that suddenly clasped on Brielle's shoulder. Unexpectedly Leonathan, the woman who was now beside him turned his head and gave a single head gesture, answering not indirectly.

"This is Papa Elnathan, yes, Miss?" chirps one of the young mothers who is not too far from Brielle. With a friendly smile Brielle replied, after which glanced at Leonathan and it turned out that the man nodded. "Rarely visible ... busy working, huh, Mas?" Leonathan smiled briefly.

Until the end one of the administrators at Elnathan's school came out. "Father, Mother, the child is done" said the mother who wears the batik uniform. "Please go in" he added with a welcoming hand and a slight retreat.

The parents who had been waiting outside followed the directions. Leonathan, who did not want to miss, stepped in. His left hand faithfully embraces Brielle, who was originally on the shoulder of the moving location, coiled around the slender waist of a sweet woman wearing a red canal as a flower motif.

"Can it escape?" brielle asked with a fierce look and stopped swinging her legs, she also glanced at Leonathan's left arm that had not moved from her body.

A blue-eyed boy came out of the room shouting, "Mama!" his two hands were also raised, waving. The look on her face was immediately stunned when she got a hand-waving reply from the man beside Brielle. Especially when Leonathan took off his glasses. "WOW!" another pekiknya who had wanted to embrace the mother, so change direction.

"Hey, El! How are you doing, son?" without a second thought, Leonathan's mouth spoke spontaneously after lifting Elnathan's small body. "Missing me or not? I miss you so much, you never come back to the ice cream shop."

With his sweet demeanor, the boy kissed Leonathan's left cheek unsolicited and kept his face around his neck. "El can't eat ice, Om. Mama can sulk," he explained without lying. Saying what it is, and hearing it Brielle looked at Leonathan.

"No problem, let's go home. I'll drive you and Mama."

"OK!" he looked straight at the handsome man's face. "What's okay?"

In the car Leonathan handed Elnathan to Brielle, who was sitting in a lackey on the side seat without him even asking. Once everything was ready, Leonathan drove his car at a moderate speed. "You tired?" leonathan asked as soon as he saw the little hero evaporating and leaning on Brielle's body. The boy just nodded.

"You're an independent woman and a good mother, but if you leave her at school, I don't think that's good." With her brows linked, Brielle looked at the man on her right who was holding the steering wheel while focusing on the road in front of their vehicle right now. "After three years, you're overreacting, Elle."

Brielle looked away and looked to the left side for a while. "There's not an hour of seeing her at school and knowing at a glance how I educate El, you dare to comment?" Then laughed and looked back at Leonathan, where the man was also looking at him. "Mr Leonatha .. I'm sorry, I know my duty as a single parent."

"He still needs your affection" added Leonathan who grabbed Elnathan's head and kissed his forehead and the top of his head. "I mean, you can wait for him at school. I don't blame you entirely, but I know .. she must be in desperate need of parental attention."

"Because all this time I was alone, I did everything I could. Including making money for El's needs, you don't know anything."

Elnathan, who was sleepy and lost consciousness, could no longer hear the conversations of his parents. Leonathan who knew that from earlier also immediately issued his opinion even though he was not asked by Brielle. He was Elnathan's parents. "Now that I'm here, I can help you. I'm his parents, too, Elle. My role is very important to grow. Are you still thinking about my mistake I didn't intentionally make?"

"Not intentionally said?" brielle asked, laughing. He tried to reduce the volume of sound because he knew Elnathan was asleep. "Doing it when I'm unconscious, you say unintentionally?"

"I was drunk too" said Leonathan, who sounded self-defense. "The mistake that night wasn't purely my wish, you also teased me and asked me to take you to my house, Elle. Don't throw it all at me" said Leonathan, pleading with a look of despair.

"Let me down at the flower shop."

"Don't switch the conversation, we need to discuss this."

"I don't want to discuss anything with someone who doesn't want to admit his fault."

"I've admitted my mistake, but I beg you, Elle .. all pure accidents," replied Leonathan, who still did not want to be blamed. Obviously, for him Brielle was also wrong. The woman was drunk too, and she was drunk too. So, whose fault is it if not both? Leonathan still doesn't accept if he's the one to blame the most. "Look at me, Elle." The woman who had turned her face away no longer wanted to listen to all the words that came out of Leonathan's mouth. The man could only sigh, even he had to lock his lips until his car stopped in the parking lot of a florist named Mille.

"Thank you for picking up El and me," broke up Brielle without turning her head and just got out of the car holding Elnathan, without looking at Leonathan who had been watching his movements.

"Together, Elle. Papa loves you, El."
