My Toni Is Mr. Anthony
Chapter 17 - Come What May

Eliana opened the box containing four pieces of donuts with different toppings that were appetizing. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the toppings of almonds, capucino, tiramisu and cheese. Toni's choice was the best.

"Want me a bribe?" Eliana offered Toni.

Toni just glanced and smiled in response. He kept driving his car.

"There are four doughnuts with four different toppings. What if each got half for each taste?" eliana asked with a sweet smile.

"You always share good things with me, Eliana. I'm so grateful to you."

Eliana's cheeks are flushed. "Don't do it, Toni. I-I- "

"Eliana, how about we keep sharing?" cut Toni before Eliana finishes her sentence.

Eliana turned her head and was stunned looking at Toni's serious-looking face. He didn't take the doughnut to feed it to Toni, his hand stopped on top of the donut box.

"Your sadness, my sadness. Your happiness, my happiness. Can we share everything?" tell the man to her. The car continues to drive to the dating place referred by Toni.

Eliana looked back at the doughnuts - beautiful doughnuts in front of her. "Alright, Toni" he said while holding haru, it is undeniable the words Toni touched him.

"Hey, don't make your face like that." Toni scolded. He could see Eliana's moved face mixed happily from the corner of his eyes. An expression that always made her want to embrace and hug the woman tightly - tightly.

"Huh?" Eliana held her cheek with one hand.

"I want to kiss you." said original Toni.

THE DIENG!

Blak - blakan once this man. Eliana's heart was like a gong struck by a giant sledgehammer and now it was so loud that Eliana was afraid that Toni could hear the sound of her heartbeat.

Not daring to look at Toni, Eliana pretended to enjoy the view that appeared from the window of the car. His mouth comats kamit, chanting the same mantra over and over again.

'Casual, Eliana. Calm down!'

Laughter Toni blaring, anxious and amused to see the behavior of the woman. Without realizing Eliana, the car had stopped at the edge of a lake that was still clean with shady trees around it.

"I didn't know there was a place like this in Lake Wood" Eliana said. Toni helped him get out of the car and took his hand walking around the lake. Eliana's other hand was carrying a box of doughnuts that had not been eaten.

"I love places like this, Eliana. Lonely and no one - who. Here you can let go of all the fatigue."

Eliana's heart is pounding. Toni is talking about her past.

"What else do you like Toni?"

Nurse Eliana's instincts begin to work, she automatically tries to stimulate Toni's memory with light questions.

Toni's right. This place is very nice, cool and makes people feel relaxed. They were sitting next to each other in the lakeside grass, their eyes fixed on the small rippling water from the wind.

"Freedom!" answer Tony sure.

Eliana surprised. Whatdoes thatmean? Free from where? Is it true that Toni is the prisoner who escaped from custody? Nope, no. Toni never hurt her, she's not a criminal. Eliana must trust Toni.

"What's on your mind, Toni?" this time, Eliana's hand held Toni's.

"Finally, I often see foreign faces in my head."

"Who?"

"I don't know who, but I don't like them."

"Why?" eliana asked with a smile. He was trying to ask a question that made his 'patient' tell a story.

There was a pain mixed with fear in Eliana's heart. His heart said just one more step, Toni remembered her past. And he never knew what would happen to their relationship.

"If I recall my past, can I still be with you Eliana?"

Toni again asked the same question, which had always haunted her all this time. There was a hope in Toni's bead, the same hope that Eliana had in her heart. Stay together even though Toni's past is back.

"I don't know. It all depends on the conditions and the situation we face later." said Eliana did not want to promise anything. His hand opened the doughnut box that had been forgotten. He brushed off all the late worries - these endings were often crammed in the chest. This is their date, let it all work.

Toni looked out at the lake.

Eliana divided each flavor in two, and thrust the doughnut box into Toni.

"Take it" said Eliana, patting Toni on the shoulder.

"You said you wanted to feed me." Toni's lips cut like a little boy in a lick.

"Alright, alright. Aaa.... " With her heart, Eliana fed Toni.

"I wish I could be your man." said Toni really, really, when their doughnuts were up.

(I wish I could be your man.)

He's? I don't know how many times this man in front of him made him surprised by the words he said.

"I think I love you" Toni said some time ago.

Eliana didn't know what to answer, which she was afraid of. Afraid to be happy and then face the uncertainty of loving an amnesiac man.

"Let it flows, Toni." Eliana said at the time. Eliana did not dare to promise and expect anything. Just let it flow.

(Let it flow.)

Without the aba - aba, Toni had already leaned her face into Eliana's face. Her lips clung to Eliana's lips which were slightly opened in surprise. The kiss was warm in Eliana's heart. The woman closed her eyes, accepting Toni wholeheartedly. And, their ci-um-an melts all the worries and nervousness of their love story journey.

Come what may.

***

The same atmosphere as in St. Paul is again felt by Eliana when entering their apartment. The usual apartment residents are friendly, no longer say hello. Whispers and cynical views were returned to him.

Not wanting to take a headache, Eliana just shrugged and opened the door of her unit.

"Sina."

"Oh, Rebecca's mother. "greet Eliana to the owner of the apartment she rented. He saw several women who also lived in the same apartment with Eliana.

"Where's your brother?"

"He came back to work after driving me home" Eliana replied honestly.

After coming from the lake, Toni did say that she was going to the coffee shop to work there this afternoon. Eliana told Rebecca's mother what she was.

The owner of the apartment snorted in disbelief.

"I'd rather talk to you now, than you be gossiping about people."

Eliana was stunned, an uneasy feeling crept back into her heart. The same feeling as the time leading up to his dismissal in St. Paul. The judgmental gaze returned to him.

"I think you should get out of the apartment. This is my decision as well as the entire apartment. We've talked about it."

Eliana shock's. "Why?" tanyanya slow.

"I don't want my unit inhabited by you and your brother. I don't want anyone who doesn't clearly live here."

'Unclear?'

Blood rose to Eliana's head. He did not accept the 'unclear' phrase thrown by the middle-aged woman before him.

"Who doesn't have a clear identity?" furious Eliana. Voice's up.

"The man who lives with you! Whether it's your brother or not." Rebecca's mother replied cynically.

"He must be a bandit!" chirp a woman standing behind Rebecca's mother.

Huh uh?!

"Yes! He's bandit!" the other sahut.

Connect yes....
