My ex-lover's in-law
Deckapan A Friend?

On the night after Grace left her house she continued to run without using the vehicle while she did not know where to go because she was still in a state of chaos even from a long time ago she had thought of finding a home kost tuk himself but he still extended his intention so that he could be near his father but everything he did was completely useless turned out his father really never considered himself even though blink matapun.

Right now Grace is on the edge of the bridge where she usually dumps her sadness.

Grace continued to wipe her tears and cried bitterly not because of the slap from Jihan but the pain that had been buried in her heart because for too long she felt bad treatment in her house so that he felt like an outcast who never expected his presence, so that was felt by Grace from long ago until now.

"Am I really an outcast? until my own father never defended me for once, I was no longer strong... Hikss," the howling of Grace's broken cry made passersby look at her.

Grace hit her chest, which felt very tight when she was imagining her life seemed so badly hit she had always been because she had never received genuine affection from her family but had hoped that she would came the day where he was treated well by his own family even hope that he was still waiting for even though it was not that easy he got.

Tears continued to flow wet his cheeks and the roar of tears was still heard clearly.

"Grace?"

Both of Grace's eyes opened when she heard someone say her name and she wiped her tears and turned to the source of the sound.

"Doctor?" surprised Grace when she found out who was reprimanding her was Elya so she fused her eyebrows to look at Elya.

"It's true you! I guessed for myself before stopping," but he also briefly saw that Grace's eyes looked swollen. "Grace, are you crying?" continued Elya again assured his vision by venturing to ask.

"Ah, i-it's..." Grace continued to wipe away the remaining tears that were still stuck in the area of her face so as not to leave marks. "No doctor, it's just that the wind is too strong and dust will get into my eye area! ah yes, doctor why is it in this area?" he continued to be heard diverting the topic while Elya had known only from Grace's attitude that tried to evade him.

"Oh, I'm indeed passing from this road if I want to go home and you why are these nights standing alone? are you waiting for someone?" elya's question instantly made Grace turn her face away from her for a moment.

Grace tried to remain calm by giving a knotty smile behind her lips. "No doctor, I just want to enjoy the night here and not wait for anyone." Grace has to find an excuse so Elya doesn't know anything about her.

"Oh so... But why do your clothes still look the same? aren't you going home?" ask Elya again because he still doubts the reason that Grace just said.

"Home?" para Grace made Elya look seriously at her.

"Yes, your home! it's not good for girls to stand alone here so if you don't mind I'll take you home" he suggested, offering up and stepping a little closer to Grace.

"Ru - home? home?" he repeated his words again but his legs moved backwards as Elya tried to get closer to him.

"What's the matter Grace? of course your house, I'll drop him off, come on..."

"No! no - no," Grace's shout broke out as she stared at Elya fearfully on her face.

"Grace, I didn't do anything bad why are you yelling? is there something sick in your body? I'll check it out" said Elya slowly so he kept trying to get closer to Grace step by step.

"Don't come any closer! I don't want to go home, I don't want to.." screams and moans of tears instantly came out of Grace's mouth even he sat down and clamped his head with his own two hands.

Elya seemed confused by the current situation because he clearly knew that Grace was a kind-spoken person, not rude, even issued a loud voice like that even though Elya was still the first to know but he was the smartest to respond to others for that he continued to try to approach him even though Grace had done so but he convinced that Grace was being confronted by a big problem, she was disrespectful to him.

When she was near Grace, Elya patted Grace's shoulders slowly, repeatedly doing so. "Grace, calm yourself! hey, relax!" persuaded Elya seemed to have focused his body on both heels of his feet while trying to calm Grace.

Grepp

Grace's body was held warm by Elya because she felt she could not bear to let Grace cry sobbing so she quickly hugged him.

"I don't know what's going on with you but I can't leave you alone in this place so you're crying strong because by crying all your feelings of sadness will be a little less, cry then! it's okay," said Elya, but she kept patting Grace's back repeatedly until one of her hands gently stroked Grace's head.

"Youngpam, haaaaa.... Hiks, huaaa!"

So loud was the sound of crying that even Grace never did that to anyone but this time she felt different after meeting Elya.

Elya seemed to be getting closer to Grace's body while Grace was already covered in tears even though her clothes were wet from Grace's tears but she was reluctant to think about it because she was still trying to provide comfort at Grace through her arms.

Brakkkk

"Based on the evil woman, it's clear she's not a human but a witch!" a tantrum came out of Elya's mouth after he hit the steering wheel of his car.

Yep, yep, after Grace stopped crying, Elya took her into the car to calm her down, but when Elya began to ask why Grace was like that, Grace refused to answer anything to her for it she threatened Grace to take her home and again she refused.

In the end from a little pressure of the threat, Elya got his own recognition from Grace because Grace no longer knows what to give Elya a reason even he wants to go home alone but Elya does not allow it that's why she didn't want Grace to tell her what had happened to her.

Grace tells what happened to her life so that Elya had not expected that Grace was able to pass it all alone and obviously Grace to tears as it turned out so heavy life had been on her way, that's how Elya's mind had been staring at Grace and listening to all the stories from the soft voice that Elya became very furious after Grace told me.

"Gtt!"

"Why are you laughing?" elya asked as she turned to Grace after sneering Jihan from her mouth.

"Hehe, the doctor when he's angry looks very funny!" babble Grace while laughing.

"Hmm it seems like your heart is much better now, thank God."

Elya gave a thin smile on his face and seemed to throw a sigh of relief as well.

"Thank you so much again doctor for the umpteenth time to help me," said Grace smiling kindly.

"Do you want to be friends?" elya asked for a moment when she gave her pinkie fingers her hands seemed to return a smile from Grace.

"Friends?" mumbling and staring at the little finger in front of him.

"Yes, as a friend! neither a doctor nor a patient, you and I no longer have formal speaking so have to relax. How's it?" elya's monologue is heard giving negotiations to Grace.

"Then I mean what should I call it?" grace's question had already begun to appear to accept Elya's existence.

"Aante!" elya replied casually.

"Isn't that too..."

"No, it's very fitting with that name! you understandstand?" babble Elya until he reaches for Grace's little fingers and attaches them to her fingers.

"Pfttt," again Elya made Grace laugh again.

"All right now we're going to get out of here" said Elya and then he turned on the engine of his car.

"Where are you auntie?" ask Grace for a moment because she hasn't asked where she's going.

"Apartment."

Elya blinked one eye and smiled thinly so Grace turned her face to take off her little laugh and shook her head.
