It's been since last night Elica and Hilda are still waiting for Leo outside the room. They can see Leo's current state of the small glass on the door he is still critical, and many tools are attached to his body to keep him afloat. And the doctor said that by noon Leo would have major surgery, because there were some broken ribs and some injuries to the head.

It made Elica and her mother unable to sleep from last night, even though her body felt very tired. Especially at this time Elica is also two-bodied.

That morning, a man came up to Elica and her mother who was sitting. The person that Elica had never met was smiling at the two of them.

"Hi good morning. Is this really the room Leo's been treated in?" Ask the guy.

"Yes right, who are you?"

"Mind me Vincent's friend Leo"

"Oh that" replied Elica.

"Yes, you're alone?" Ask Vincent again.

"I'm Elica, and this is my mother. We're Leo's friends too"

"Oh I understand. How he is doing at the moment. Is there any progress?"

"Yet. The doctor said he was still critical, and later in the afternoon will undergo major surgery on his ribs" said Elica.

"That's it, were you here from last night?"

"Yes"

"Then let me take his place. You must be tired, go home first" said Vincent.

"But___"

"real Elica. We better go home first, we'll be here again later. Mom's tired, and Mommy knows you feel the same way. We go home first well" said Hilda cut off Elica's speech.

Elica can't leave Leo alone. But because this man came, finally Elica agreed to the man's words.

She and her mother left the hospital.  Both need rest and also have to fill their stomachs

They went home in a taxi, both of them still being swept away by each other's thoughts. And somehow Elica's heart suddenly turned to one person, regarding the incident that Leo experienced last night.

Alex. Along the way Elica thought of the name. Could Alex have done all this? He recalled Alex's words the other day. Which made her become angry that day, and not even a week of events that she was worried about happened. And unfortunately it was Leo who was affected by his impact. A kind-hearted man who is now struggling between life and death in the hospital.

But Elica will not just accuse Alex without proof. It could have been the accident purely because of the bad luck that was befalling Leo last night.

But even if Alex was behind this, Elica wouldn't just shut up. He did not hesitate to send the man to prison.

"Mom"

"Yes, what's wrong, baby?"

"Mom's seen Daddy?" Ask Elica.

"Yet. Mom's not ready to meet your Daddy"

"Meet Daddy as soon as Mom does. And come back to Daddy. Looking at Leo's condition right now, I don't feel good if we continue to live in his house"

"alright. Mommy's going to see her tomorrow, but to get back to your Daddy like he doesn't love" Hilda replied

"Why?"

"Had Mommy told Elica, Mommy would choose to live alone. Work and make money, to support Mommy herself. Even if you're going to continue to marry Leo in Germany, Mom will let you go, baby"

Hearing that made Elica speechless. So this is the end of her family life? Choose Life alone to penetrate past mistakes. If it's like this there's nothing to blame, and in the end everyone becomes a victim, very sad.

Elica looked back outside through the glass of the taxi they were riding in. And unconsciously her tears just dripped. In her heart, she could not continue her relationship with Leo. Because Elica doesn't want Leo to get hurt again over a problem that shouldn't go along with her. Now Elica feels guilty, both to Leo and to her mother.

If only he had not had the pleasure of destroying his mother's marriage, then none of this had ever happened. And if Elica hadn't come into contact with Alex, then Leo wouldn't have suffered the way he is now.

Wrong, yes indeed Elica admitted All this is her fault. And if she has a choice, eat she chooses so that she alone bears all her.

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

Alex had breakfast at the dinner table this morning. Only alone, even though Hilda was always taking care of all her needs but the sense of loneliness was still there. Especially if you remember when Elica also ate with her one table, and Alex was reminded when she secretly always noticed the sweet face. And his shit this morning Alex missed that woman, of course Elica.

A large man approached Alex at the dinner table, then he lowered his head before Alex.

However Alex is just indifferent and continues his breakfast.

"Sir, the task you gave me was done. Is there something you're ordering again?" Ask the bodyguard respectfully to his employer.

"How's the condition?"

Alex told the bodyguard and asked about Leo's condition.

"He's still critical sir, should I do something?"

"I thought he was gone. Take care of things like you're still missing. Stupid"

Alex said as he put the food back in his mouth.

"I'm sorry sir, then today I will eliminate him"

"no need. I'm the boss here, don't make your own decisions. Let him be like that, suffer and die slowly.  I warned her, but she thought it was a joke."

"Good sir"

"Is Elica still there?"

"Miss came home this morning with her mother."

"All right, you can go"

"Okay sir, excuse me"

After finishing breakfast Alex immediately rushed to go to his office. Today he chose to bring his own car. Because he wants to meet his wife, Elica.

But his phone rang, and Alex immediately picked it up. It was unexpected that the call was from Evelyn. While focusing on driving, Alex answered the phone.

And it turns out Evelyn invites him to meet later tonight, Alex also immediately agreed to it.

Arriving at the office, Alex headed straight to his room to finish his work.

Back immersed in work that's the most fun thing according to Alex, it can be said he is a workaholic.

Elsewhere, Vincent still faithfully accompanies Leo in the hospital. Because in an hour, Leo will have his surgery. And he also just got word from the police, if the results of the case at Leo's place of accident there is something strange. He is informed that Leo's car has been sabotaged by his brakes. The case was revealed to be a murder plot by the police. And it worked to anger Vincent up, so it's true that the man he saw a few days ago at the Club was indeed eyeing Leo. But who exactly is Leo's enemy that Vincent doesn't know about.

After a while, Elica looked fresher. He returns to the hospital accompanying Leo but without his mother. Because Elica knows that her mother still needs rest, considering that they don't sleep all night. So Elica went to the hospital by herself.

Elica approached Vincent who was sitting down and focused on his phone. Then Elica cleared her throat to make the man realize the presence of Elica. Vincent turned to Elica and smiled.

"You've come again" said Vincent

"Yes" replied Elica smiling

"alone?"

"Already, about 30 minutes ago"

"Ah so. Hope everything goes well"

"Yes, I hope so too. Sit down"

Vincent said.

"Thank you"

"You've known Leo for a long time?"

"Not too long. What's the matter?"

"It's okay to just want to know. I heard she's getting married to you?"

"so"

"May I ask you something?"

Vincent's face became serious at this time and managed to make Elica curious.

"May, just ask"

"Do you know if Leo is having trouble with someone ? or do you know if he has enemies?"

"No. As far as I know he's fine. What's going on, tell me"

Now Elica demanded an explanation to the man in front of her.

"I was actually told by the police. If Leo's accident is someone's, and the police state that this is a case of a plot murder. So it wasn't a pure accident"

Degs..

Like Dejavu, it was as if everything Elica thought was happening. It turned out that what he feared was true. And Elica was sure who was behind all this. He only fell silent after getting the news from Vincent.

"Police said someone cut the brake cord in Leo's car. And last night I just told him that a few days ago there was someone stalking his Club. If I had known who it was, I'd have made sure I would have eliminated it too"

"No. Do not be rash before Leo is aware, so please do not interfere in the problems that Leo is facing at this time. You just need to look after him and we wait for him to come to his senses and ask him what really happened." Said Elica a little panicked to hear Vincent will eliminate the person behind this all, which is none other than Alex.

I don't know why there's a sense of unwillingness that Vincent would do that to Alex. And also Elica does not want anyone else to be the next victim Alex if Vincent really wants to interfere in this. Elica won't let that happen.

Actually Vincent was a little surprised by what Elica said earlier, indirectly the girl told him not to do anything.

"Can you take care of Leo first as long as this operation goes on? I have to go somewhere" said Elica

"of course. I'll be here until the operation is over"

"alright. Thank you Vincent, then I'll go first" Vincent replied with a nod of his head.

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

Elica arrived at a very large office, an office that was no stranger to her. Who else if not Alex's office. He rushed into the office. And go straight into the elevator to the 15th floor.

She gets to Alex's doorstep, though a sexy secretary prevents her from meeting Alex on the grounds that she hasn't made an appointment before.

Without waiting for long, Elica just opened the door and showed Alex who was sitting while working on the Documents on her desk.

Suddenly Alex was directly staring at the person who had just entered without permission to enter his room.

He immediately stopped his work activities as soon as he saw the woman he was eager to meet. And all of a sudden my secretary comes in and then intends to pull Elica out.

"Sorry sir, this girl just broke through. So I___" said his secretary then his words were immediately cut by Alex.

"You let him go and get out"

Hearing that her secretary was a little confused then Elica immediately brushed off the woman's hand that was holding her arm.

"Okay sir, excuse me"

The secretary came out and left Alex and Elica in the room.

Alex is seen standing with a smile approaching Elica. Finally he could see the face of the woman before him, because since this morning Alex had missed this face so much.

"You miss me, baby?"

That was the first sentence Alex spoke in front of Elica.

Plakkkp....

Unexpectedly, Elica instantly gave a hard slap across Alex's face. Until it left a squeeze mark on the man's cheek. A moment of silence, because both of them are silent. And Alex was still surprised by what he got just now.

While Elica was also silent while staring intently at Alex.

"You did it? What makes Leo that way, it's all you do, right? Why would you do that? Answer me Fuck" said Elica with her anger still restrained.

While Alex also returned with a sharp look.

"If so, why?"

Alex answered without the slightest guilt and managed to make Elica become more emotional.

Plaque...

The second slap that Elica gave again to Alex and managed to make Alex face to the side.

"You're not Alex's man. You are the Devil, who cruelly commits crimes against innocent people. You're a cunning guy who only dares to do dirty things like this. Do you know, what's his current condition, huh? If something bad happens to Leo, I'll make sure you're in jail. Because in my eyes, you're nothing but trash"

Said Elica who had been ignited by emotions and just let out those words.

While Alex who heard Elica's words also ignited emotions. Alex quickly gripped Elica's chin firmly and pushed her against the wall.

"You're getting brave. You don't know who I look like, you bravely slapped and threatened me. You think you can fight me, baby?" Said Alex in a very sharp tone in Elica's ear.

"Listen, Elica, if you're still next to Leo, I'll make sure he doesn't survive later. Don't try to run away from me, and also don't act like you can fight me. Remember what I said the other day, all you have to know, baby, Leo last night was just the beginning. So think before choosing the decision to run away from me. Or the people next to you, I'll make you the next Leo. Including your two men"

"You bastard"

"Well I'm a fucking asshole, baby, so come on to me next. Then all I make sure will be safe as ever"

Again. Finally Elica lost again, she could not dwell or even reply Alex. This man is very dangerous, but if Elica chooses to leave she is afraid that this man will do something worse.

Seeing her silence Elica actually made Alex happy and smiled grinning. She likes it when Elica is under her control.

TBC.
