Love That Pain
But someone else

Chelsea did not eat the food he had made. But not with Alex, the man finished the meal without the slightest residue. Chelsea gave Alex a glass of water, he knows...Alex must have been very hard-pressed to swallow the food he made, what else it tasted so bad.

Alex drank the water until it ran out, “lain time I want to eat your cooking again,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Do you want to mock me?” Chelsea grunted in annoyance.

Alex shook his head, “where might I mock you, I was praising you. I admit, your cooking does taste a little strange, but I like it, because you've taken the trouble to make it.”

“Already, anyways it does not matter to me. I used to hate cooking, if you do not like or are ashamed of having a useless wife like me, also no problem.”

Alex clasped Chelsea's hand, “I don't care about any of it, nor do I demand you to be able to cook. I can make my own food, all this time I also do not ask you to always serve me, because I just want you to be by my side.”

“Lex, we've been married for two months, and until now I've not done my duty as your wife, I've always treated you badly, but why are you still being nice to me? you don't hate me either, why?”

“You already know the answer, because I love you.” Alex sighed, “now I want to ask you, do you still want to take revenge on me?”

Chelsea rounded her eyes, “m—what do you mean?” tanyanya nervous.

“I know, you are not sincere when you want to give me a second chance, your intention is just to make me feel what you feel all along. I know.my mistakes all this time will never be able to forgive. All this time I have received the punishment, what you have been doing all this time really makes me hurt, let alone the red mark on the niche of your neck. But during these two months I tried to stay afloat, it was because I wanted you to realize if I really had changed.”

Alex sighed, “maybe the attitude I've been showing all along means nothing to you, but I did all of that really sincerely, because I love you. But if all my attention all this time still can't make you to believe me again, I can't do anything else either. But there are things you need to remember, how hard you tried to make me the old Alex again, or make me crumble, I still will not let go of you.”

Alex then moved from his seat, “if you treat me badly, I will still treat you with affection. I do not care about the pain you give, I will still pour out my affection for you, because that's what makes me last this long.” The man then took his foot out of the room.

Chesea still remained unmoved from her position, she still remained seated on the sofa while looking at Alex out of her room. The woman felt that she had been unfair to Alex. Chelsea do not deny that Alex has always been kind to him, he often said to Zaki and his brother, if Alex deserves a second chance, he said, but why is he the one who can't give Alex that second chance?

Eric, who had just returned from his friend's house, accidentally saw Alex sitting alone on a park bench. The young man then approached Alex, “Sister Alex! What are you doing here?”

“I just want to get some fresh air, what are you doing here?” askalanya.

Eric sat his body next to Alex, “I just came home from my friend's house, he had an accident.”

“How is your friend doing?”

Eric laughed, and it made Alex frown, “why are you laughing?” tanyanya.

“Yes weird, we don't know each other yet, but now we can chat like this.”

“Ya. Although I have been married to Chelsea for two months, but I am not at all close to his family.”

Eric stretched out his hand, “hai, Brother. Meet me, my name is Eric, I'm not his brother Chelsea, I'm just an outsider who hitchhikes in this house,” he admitted.

Alex smiled, he then shook the hand of Eric, “Alex, the man who has hurt Chelsea all this time,” he admitted as well.

“I don't know how the story of brother in the past with Brother Chelsea, but now I see Brother Chelsea has changed a lot. He is not quiet as before when he was in America, now Brother Chelsea can smile and laugh loosely.”

“That's not all because of me, but someone else,” Alex said with a smile.

“Although it is not because of brother, but from now on it is the duty of brother, because Brother Alex is now her husband Kak Chelsea, the person who is fully responsible for the happiness of Kak Chelsea.”

“Although I only knew Kak Chelsea for a few months, but I know Kak Chelsea is not a person who cannot appreciate the efforts of others. So I'm sure, actually Brother Chelsea appreciates the efforts of Brother Alex during this.”

“Really? Can Chelsea see the love I have for him? Will he be happy if I keep him?” Alex alone can not be sure, but why Eric can be as confident as that.

Eric moved from his seat, he saw Chelsea who was walking towards him, “if Brother Alex still feel curious, you better ask directly the same person.”

Chelsea scrunched her forehead, “what do you guys want to ask?” he looked at Alex.

“Kak Chelsea ask directly the same person, I go first.” Eric looked at Alex and then blinked one eye, after which he stepped foot leaving Alex and Chelsea.

Chelsea sat her body next to Alex, “why did you just leave? Are you angry with me? what do you want to ask me?”

Alex shook his head, “nothing, I was just joking with Eric, besides I can't be mad at you, even though you've hurt my heart so much.”

“The pain you feel at this time, even that is not how much, from the pain I feel so far.” Chelsea spoke in a sharp tone.

Alex brushed off his smile, “I know.” The man then looked at the sky that looked very bright, “what are you looking for me for? don't tell me you've started missing me,” god.

“I'm looking for you because I want to ask your permission.”

Alex averted his eyes, he is now looking into Chelsea's eyes, “request permission for what?” tanyanya while frowning her forehead.

“I want to stay here a few more days, I still want to be with my family.”

Alex stared at the two beads of Chelsea's eyes in turn, as if he was looking for answers to the questions he had in mind, but he did not get those answers at all.

“Why are you silent? Do you disagree?” ask Chelsea again.

“I have no problem, you can stay in this house as long as you want.”

The answer Alex gave, it makes Chelsea curious about Alex's attitude, it's because Alex usually forbid him to stay at his house as long as I want, “you sure?” tanyanya wants to make sure.

Alex nodded his head, “but I can't keep you company, I can't possibly stay in this house as long as you want, today I'll be back at our house.”

Alex deliberately emphasized the word Kita, so that Chelsea know the meaning, but unfortunately, no one knows the answer.

“Why don't you want to stay a few days here with me?”

“Because I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable while I'm here, so I better give you your own time.”

“Lex, actually I..” Chelsea rounded her eyes as Alex suddenly kissed her lips gently.

Alex clasped Chelsea's hand, “I did give you time to be alone, but that doesn't mean I'll let you meet or be with Zaki. I trust you, and I hope you won't renege on last night's promise.” The man then moved from his seat, “now live how you not to break the promise.”
