Although Elica had only met with friends Leo for the first time, they were all familiar with the arrival of Elica. The thing that Elica was grateful for as well, all her negative thoughts on Leo's friend were not true. Including Disa, she was the woman who greeted Elica enthusiastically. The woman with short hair always accompanied Elica with her chatter and chatter that could not be silent.

"You don't drink Elica?" Ask Disa.

"No. I'll drive home later"

"Well, I thought you were here with Leo. But it's not fun if you haven't had a drink, just try a little bit" said Disa then thrust a small glass of Vodka on Elica.

"He did not want Disa, do not force her" Leo who began to grow angry because Disa told Elica to drink, finally snatch the glass from the hands of Disa.

Disa was immediately shocked by Alex's attitude.

"okay.ok... I'm sorry. I'm not gonna force Elica again"

"As for your behavior today Disa, Leo like her is very possessive with her woman tonight" said Misha who insinuated Leo. Disa also nodded affirming Misha's words coupled with a soft laugh.

"You just take Elica upstairs, Leo. It seems like he's a little uncomfortable here" Brando finally opened his voice to mediate the conversation.

"Brando's right." Said Alan.

"alright. You guys just enjoy the party. And Elica, come with me up" Leo took Elica's hand. Elica according to him.

Leo took Elica into his room. More precisely the room he rested while here. It is like a room in general, but in the room it looks more spacious. Because there is a sofa, mini bar and also a bed in one room.

The two of them entered the room, Elica looked around every corner of the black paint room slowly.

"What is this place?" Ask Elica

"This is where I rest when I don't go home. What do you want to drink? Can I make you a latte?" Leo replied then he walked to the mini bar there.

"Can. Can you make it?"

"You doubt me, miss?" They both laughed together.

Leo starts making lattes for Elica, and Elica sits in front of Leo while staring at him making a Barista-style latte.

"If this is my room, maybe I won't be out for a month" Elica said.

"really?" Elica smiled as well.

"You can sleep here then, if you"

"Can I?"

"certain. This place is open to you at any time"

"What if tonight I sleep here" said Elica who managed to make Leo stop his activities and stare at him.

"Why? Can't you?" Ask Elica.

"This is over. Drink first" Leo also diverts the conversation by giving a latte made to Elica.

Elica drank Leo's gift with a smile.

"It's delicious. Thank you." Thank you."

"Together"

"Did Alex ever get in here?"

"You mean?"

"You told me he was your VIP customer. Did he use this place with a woman?"

"No Elica. This is my private room. After all if anyone wants to play this place does not provide a single room."

"Why?"

"I don't want my place to be where they vent their. So they prefer to go to the hotel to finish it. Anyway I built this club just for fun."

Elica was silent no longer giving answers or questions to Leo.

"You okay?" Ask Leo. Elica answered with a nod of her head.

"Sleep here if you want. But I hope you tell your mother first if you're not going home tonight" Leo said.

"You're going to sleep here too?"

"No. I'm going home to my apartment. But you take it easy my club has guards. You just need to lock the door to this room and it's all guaranteed to be safe. This room is also soundproof, so you won't hear the crowds downstairs"

"All right"

Leo looked at Elica's gloomy face, he knew exactly what Elica was feeling right now. Until Leo was a little heartless if he had to leave Elica here.

"Have you eaten?" Ask Leo.

"Already"

"If you don't mind, you come with me back to my apartment"

"Why is that?"

"I'm a little unsure about leaving you here. I mean, if you're safer there"

Elica seems to be thinking about asking if she should come or not.

"All right, I'll come with you" replied Elica

"Okay, we're going home now"

"But your party's not over yet"

"It's okay. The party's probably gonna be over by morning. You just calm down. Your car better be left here. We're going home in my car"

"Yes"

Elica and Leo came out of the room and rushed back to Leo's apartment.

In the car, the two of them just kept quiet and said nothing. Leo was focused on driving while Elica was immersed in her own thoughts.

A few minutes later they arrived at Leo's apartment. They went straight inside. Leo apartment is quite luxurious, for the size of Leo who only lives alone is very large. Unfortunately, there is only one room. And finally Leo was the one who relented to sleep on the sofa in the middle room while Elica slept in her room.

Earlier, Elica had refused to let Leo alone not in her room, but Leo reasoned that she also had a job to complete.

**************************

The next morning, Elica wakes up from her sleep at Leo's apartment. He looked at the clock and it was still at 6 a.m. Finally, he decided to take a bath and borrow Leo's clothes on the Walk in Closet.

He chose an oversized long-sleeved shirt and training pants.

After finishing the bath, Elica decided to make breakfast for herself and Leo who was still asleep on the sofa.

Finally, Elica decided to make Bread filled with these ingredients.

Leo who woke up from his sleep was very surprised to hear a voice from his kitchen. He went straight to the source of the sound and immediately found Elica cooking.

"Elica, what are you doing?" Leo asked in a hoarse voice typical of people waking up.

"Oh you're awake. Sorry Leo I borrowed your shirt and your kitchen first. I'm making breakfast for both of us"

"What are you doing?"

"I made a sandwich. You take a shower in a minute it'll be ripe"

"All right"

Leo also obeyed Elica. He took a shower this early, but every day he took a shower at 7 a.m. Until the office alone he was always late. But no one dared to scold him, because he was the owner of the company.

And especially for today she is willing to take a morning shower because there is Elica in her apartment. It was a shame if she spoke to Elica with her body still smelly.

Elica was done cooking, she prepared breakfast at the dinner table. And soon Leo also came with a state that was fresher.

"Wow like it's delicious" said Leo then sat down at the dinner table.

"Eat it I hope it's not bad"

Leo ate some of Elica's bread. Elica was still watching Leo's facial expression. Hope he doesn't spit it out.

"It's delicious" said Leo with the bread still in his mouth

"really? If it's not good, don't eat it"

"No Elica. It's delicious, really" replied Leo who immediately made Elica smile.

"Thank you Leo"

"Today you want to get out, do you want to stay here, Elica?"

"May I be here for a few days."

"Of course you can, you want to stay with me forever is fine"

"You're overreacting Leo, I just don't want to go home to see my mom. And I also can't meet my real father with my condition like this" said Elica.

Suddenly the atmosphere at the dining table became quiet.

"If you get bored in my apartment, you can come with me to the office today Elica"

"No need for Leo, tomorrow maybe I'll start going to the campus again"

"Alright if that's what you want. If you need me, you can just call me. I'll always be there for you"

"Thank you Leo"

After breakfast, Leo rushed to leave Elica at her apartment to the office. While Elica cleaned up the rest of her cooking activity earlier which was quite messy. She just remembered that last night she hadn't told her mother if she didn't come home.

He immediately took his phone in the bag, and it turned out that his phone was deactivated from yesterday. Elica reactivated her phone. And how surprised he was when his phone was on there were so many missed incoming calls and incoming messages from Alex.

He began to open one by one the message from Alex.

(Where are you? Is it home yet?)

(Reply to my message)

(Thanks to my phone call, Elica)

(Damn it, where are you? My bodyguard said you haven't come home yet)

(If you haven't returned my message, I'll make sure you get a sentence later)

(My phone number, ******)

(Don't you think when me and your mom aren't home you can do this. You have to remember now that I'm your father)

That's some text from Alex that was sent to Elica's phone. There are still so many that Elica has not continued reading. For him all that alone was enough to make his morning a mess.

Suddenly, his phone rang. And sure enough, it's from Alex again. The end of Elica raised the call.

"Hello"

"Where are you now? Go home or I'll have the bodyguards drag you home right now"

"Hoo... Relax my new father. The newlyweds should not be angry constantly. Aren't you tired, weren't you just draining her decent newlyweds last night?"

"I'm not kidding, Elica. Tell me where are you now?"

"I don't want to go home. I'm somewhere you won't even know"

"Basic******, did you just sleep with another guy out there? Huh uh?"

"Picture it that way. How well, ******you're so upset with scammers like you. A lot of people out there want to sleep with me"

"So your word is Elica, you're mine. If you dare to play behind my back then I will.."

"Will what? Killing me? Just do it Alex. I am tired of my own life too. And don't threaten me anymore, I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I have turned it off. Nye"

Elica cut Alex's words. Then he unilaterally decided on the call.

I don't know why Elica's heart hurts so much. She thought it was her mother who would ask her whereabouts this time. But it was the man who did it, and Don't forget all the scorn he gave to Elica. Without tears Elica came down. Is destiny toying with her so painful. Until the place to go home just feels hell for him.

*************************

Elsewhere, newlywed couple Alex and Hilda are sunbathing on the edge of the pool at the Resort owned by Alex.

Hilda is seen choosing to close her eyes while enjoying the sunshine that warms her morning.

While Alex he sunbathe while playing his cell phone.

"Suddenly I thought of Elica, Alex. I feel sorry for leaving her alone at home" Hilda suddenly opened her voice. Alex turned to his wife.

"You take it easy, he's at home with the waiter. I'm sure he won't lack anything now"

"I wish so too. In the future, I want Elica's relationship with you closer, considering that she didn't really agree with our relationship. But I can't believe it turns out that she even approved of us getting married. I'm so grateful"

Alex did not answer Hilda's words. And Hilda didn't know that last night Elica didn't come home, because Alex didn't tell Hilda. He seemed to be thinking of something. Given if first Elica had thrown herself at Alex, instead Alex had to cancel the marriage. Poor girl, of course Alex did not keep his promise straight away. Elica was too rash in making a decision.

However, even though Alex will not let go of Elica just like that. For Alex, everything Elica has is hers. Remembering he was the first to obtain the sanctity of Elica.

Even Alex would do anything to the men who tried to snatch Elica from her. Selfish indeed, considering she has married Hilda who is none other than Elica's biological mother. But Alex doesn't care about any of that. He will protect her at any time.
