Playing With Fire
The Part 26

"do you really love her, Elica?"

"Daddy I don't know ... with my current feelings. I hate her so much but on the other hand I.." cried Elica broke when expressing her feelings. Until he is unable to continue his speech. Elica was so scared by her feelings that, It was as if she had made a very bad mistake.

Well, loving his own former stepfather, something very disgusting if anyone else finds out. Especially if she was pregnant with the boy, the whole world would definitely look at Elica with a despicable look. But a Love that grows in the heart of man is not a crime, because Elica always brushed off the thought.

Elica's father looked at her daughter with a pushy look. He feels very sorry for Elica at the moment, plus if master Albert already knew Elica's true feelings for the man. He was confused to have to take Elica away or let Elica stay in this place. "We just cancel the plan to go abroad" said Elica's father suddenly who made Elica immediately look at the father quickly.

"What does Daddy mean?"

"You love that guy Elica, Daddy doesn't want to make you sick anymore"

Elica shook her head quickly. Although it is true what the father said, but continuing to survive in this place is the same as Elica let the wound in her heart continue to gap and can not heal. Elica was wondering why suddenly her father canceled this just like that, because as far as Elica knew her father was precisely who yesterday wanted them to leave this place immediately.

There were so many questions in Elica's head right now. Because now his father went straight to his room after saying that. Leaving Elica with all sorts of unanswered questions. Could it be that her father was too disappointed at her at this moment. Elica did not know.

Everything is chaotic, I don't know how many more hearts are victims because of this complicated relationship. Until now, Elica does not know the existence of her mother. Elica wants to find her mother, but she doesn't know where to start.

"Gosh Aunty" Mia screeched as she saw Hilda suddenly faint in her room.

Mia immediately called her husband to help Hilda and lifted her to the bed. They were both very worried about Hilda's current state, her body thin and unwilling to eat.

"We'll just take her to the hospital, Mia" said Zico, Mia's husband.

"But Aunty doesn't want to be taken there, I'm afraid she's upset"

"His condition gets worse if it's not treated. Song anyway if there's something serious about the disease how?" Ask Zico.

"Actually I'm afraid that Aunty... Pregnant" said Mia managed to make the husband surprised.

"What's? Never mind that much, whether Aunty's pregnant or not is a business later. The important thing is that we take him to the hospital" Mia just nodded her head in agreement with Zico's words.

But before long Hilda worked her eyes when she was about to be lifted by Zico towards the car. Mia and Zico immediately asked Hilda's condition.

"Aunty you're sober. We're going to the hospital, yeah" Zico said, looking very worried about Hilda.

Hilda answered him with a slit of her head slowly sign he refused to be brought to that place. Mia tells her husband to take warm water, and Zico comes out of Hilda's room to the kitchen.

"Aunty your condition is getting worse. We have to check it out" said Mia sitting next to Hilda's bed lying down.

"No need for Mia."

"But you're getting thinner Aunty, want to eat something?"

"No"

Mia looked at Hilda blankly. She already considers Hilda like her own mother, but Mia feels Hilda is always being condescending to her.

"I'm afraid that Aunty is pregnant" Mia said, and she felt bad for herself after consciously saying that.

Unexpectedly, Hilda replied with a small laugh as if there was something funny in Mia's words just now. Mia also frowned because she was confused by Hilda's behavior.

"That can't be Mia." Hilda's answer made Mia curious. Actually what has happened.

"I mean Aunty?"

"He always wears safety when doing that with me. Even after we got married, she used it. So I can't possibly be pregnant, Mia"

"I'm sorry Aunty if I offended you" Mia felt guilty for feeling she was too curious about Hilda's real life.

"It's okay Mia, I'm not angry. And I never get angry when Alex does that to me. But what makes me hurt, is why he did it to Elica without using safety. It seems like he did do that to my daughter, I'm sorry I judged him as a good man first, in front of my own son"

Hilda said with tears that began to fall on her cheeks.

Mia sighed softly after hearing that fact. She remembers Elica, however, being the most hurt person from Mia's point of view. But first when they met, the girl was tough and seemed to not care about anything. And real Elica instead harbored all her own look at the behavior of her mother and her stepfather. It must have hurt a lot to be in Elica's position back then.

Tonight Elica is having dinner with her father. The atmosphere was very quiet as there was not the slightest conversation between the two, only the clanking of spoons and dishes sounded.

Elica feels her father silenced her after yesterday's incident when Alex came. Even Elica was a little afraid to ask for their departure tomorrow, whether her father actually canceled her or not. He gathered the courage to ask his father.

"Daddy... About tomorrow are we__"

Elica had not yet finished her words, suddenly her father cut off the conversation.

"Daddy's ducks are going out of town, there's some equipment for Daddy's work that's running out. So Daddy has to buy it. It's okay if you, Daddy stay all day"

Elica was stunned to hear it, it was a sign that her father had indeed canceled their departure abroad. And Elica felt that her father was trying to shift the subject.

He didn't know why his father suddenly changed his mind so quickly. Elica was finally reluctant to ask her again, she just replied with a soft nod of her head and continued eating her.

The next day, early in the morning, Elica's father had left for the city. Elica takes her father to the train station, because her father chooses to use public transportation.

After seeing that her father was gone, Elica decided to go home.

Because it was still morning, Elica chose to walk on the side of the road to the stop. Suddenly his stomach felt hungry, and he just remembered if he had not eaten anything just drink milk pregnant women just now.

Elica went down the street hoping to find a diner to ward off her hunger. He was very surprised when there was a car that pulled over suddenly and blocked his path.

Not long after the person in the car came down, unexpectedly it turned out Alex was the one.

Elica quickly leaves the man as Alex approaches him. It was unexpected that Alex actually pulled his arm and told him to get into the car. With resigned Elica also entered, because it is not possible if the man will let Elica leave just like that.

Both of them are already in the car, Alex also drove his car at medium speed. They were both still silent without any one opening the conversation.

Minutes later, they reached Alex's office. Apparently the man brought Elica here, but Elica's stomach was starting to starve. The two of them took the elevator to go, Elica realized that from now on Alex continued to hold her hand as if not to let Elica run.

"Eat" Alex told Elica, who was sitting.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Your father is gone, isn't it. Later that night you'll stay at my house. And eat first, I know you haven't had breakfast" Alex said.

"Don't act like this Alex, it's disgusting. I wanted to go home" Elica moved from her seat to the door.

It was unexpected that the door was locked from the outside.

Elica was upset and approached Alex who was standing to see his behavior.

"Open the door, damn it" said Elica.

Alex laughed at Elica's words.

"I love it when you're back to acting like this, baby. Eat first, then we talk about everything"

Elica also rolled her eyes because she was caught off guard by Alex's behavior which always made her become upset herself.

Kruyukk....

And damn it again, Elica's stomach won't compromise for a moment. It even made a very embarrassing sound of hunger, and surely Alex heard it too. Laugh back at Elica.

"Sit down, baby. I know you're hungry, you don't feel sorry for our kid who wants to eat too. Hm?"

"Shut up" said Elica and replied Alex with a smile.

Alex leads Elica back to her seat. And start feeding Elica food. At first, Elica refuses, but Alex continues to force Elica to accept Alex's bribe, and if Elica does not want to, Alex threatens to kiss Elica for a long time. Finally, Elica complies with Alex.

After finishing feeding Elica, Alex also cleaned the corner of Elica's lips were exposed to the rest of the food with his hands. And somehow Alex's treatment makes Elica's heart beat. Like the Alex he currently sees, not the Alex that Elica knows.

And his wonder, if after eating Elica often feel nauseous. But now different, he did not feel the slightest nausea when near this man, even though the food given by Alex was also very much.

"Why? Does it feel nauseous?" Alex asked as he looked at the silent Elica.

"No"

Alex also approached Elica and positioned himself sitting next to Elica. Unexpectedly Alex stroked Elica's flat stomach with gentle and sudden movements made Elica instantly aghast.

"What are you doing?" Elica brushed Alex's hand off her stomach.

"I want to know what's going on in there"

"remove"

"No way" Alex also stroked Elica's stomach again.

"Alex are you deaf, I said__"

Quickly Alex instantly silenced Elica with her lips.

He kissed the woman gently, without realizing that Elica also returned the kiss. There was a smile on Alex's lips when he found out about it. After the oxygen began to thin, the two finally released the kiss. And Alex put her forehead on Elica's forehead.

"I love you, Elica" Alex said

But Elica did not reply to Alex's words and chose silence.

After the incident, Alex also intends to continue his work and tell Elica to rest in her personal space. But Elica refuses and still sits in the chair because Alex does not allow her to leave.

"There's something I want to ask you" said Elica suddenly.

"What is that, baby?" Alex's Sahut

"Do you know where my mother is?"

Alex shook his head "I don't know" Alex replied.

"Can you look for my mother's whereabouts?" Silly indeed if Elica said that to the man she hated so much, but there was no other choice. Think Elica, Alex has a lot of people under her must be easy not if looking for Elica's mother.

Alex is seen raising his eyebrows next door, like he has an interesting idea ahead of him.

"What do I get, if I manage to find him?" Ask Alex like Dejavu to Elica.

"Do you always ask for rewards when someone asks you for help?"

"Of course, in the world nothing is free dear"

"You are a rich man of reckoning. Did you divorce my mother without giving her anything? Very outrageous" quipped Elica.

Alex is seen walking closer to Elica again.

"I'm rich because I'm counting on all of her, baby. And about your mother, just so you know. I gave her anything. Houses, cars, boutiques, and of course other treasures. But he seems to be selling too much to not touch my gift. That's why I don't care" Alex replied.

"It looks like you're the kind of guy who throws women out like shit when you're bored"

"Except yourself, dear Elica"

"Are you not being taught by your parents to respect a woman, Alex?"

Alex's face instantly changed when she heard Elica mention her parents. In reality Alex also never got the affection of his parents first. Until now he hated so much about "parents"

"Yes. I was never educated with it" said Alex impressed coldly
