Playing With Fire
The Part 52

Tonight Alex is driving her own car at high speed. He can indeed be said to be healed and able to walk without using a cane again, but just in case he chose to carry the tool anywhere except tonight.

She did not think anymore about her legs, because since hearing if Elica had returned her whole mind was only fixed on the woman.

Unknowingly also if his eyes began to glaze over because he could not wait to meet the person he missed so much. Between the feeling of pleasure and haru she could not describe for now, she just vented the feeling by tightly gripping her steering wheel.

Alex hopes that tonight God will give her a second chance not to be abandoned by Elica.

Because not only she needs her, but Nancy also really misses the figure of the mother who is asked every day by the little girl.

After a few minutes, Alex's car arrived in the courtyard of a very luxurious building. Damian was waiting for Alex at the entrance. The two meet, Damian looks very calm while Alex is like someone who is in a hurry.

"Where is he? What's inside?"

"Quiet bro. He's not here, he left 30 minutes ago" Damian stopped holding Alex's shoulder.

Hearing Damian's words, Alex looked at the man with a pushy look.

"You're nuts. You just let her go?"

"Hey, calm down. You'd be surprised if it came suddenly like this"

"Don't test me, Damian, I'm not a time-wasting person" the atmosphere grew tense as Alex pulled Damian's shirt collar.

The people who were there began to see the two as the center of attention. But Damian just looks relaxed and smiling looking at Alex, he immediately let go of Alex's hand on the collar of his shirt.

"This. You can find the name information first before you meet him. And don't rush Alex, you're so annoying right then and there. Good luck bro"

"What's this?"

"You think I was stupid to let her go, that's the card I got"

"Yua Anami?" Alex said he frowned as he read The name on the small black paper in his hand.

"That's the name he's wearing now, have your men investigate. Because I saw him so familiar with a man named Renzo Hitomi. The only son of lord Hitomi who lives in Japan."

Alex recalled that in the photo Damian had sent, it did show Elica being with a man. But he tried to ignore it, because the main goal is to meet with Elica as soon as possible.

He immediately contacted his men to search for all the information Damian had provided.

***

The light of the sun has revealed its radiance. The sleeping woman blinked her eyes because she heard her phone ringing.

"Hello Dad"

...

"I slept in a hotel last night Dad, I was too tired to book a hotel."

...

"I'm sorry I worried you, Dad. I'll be home in the afternoon"

...

"All right"

Elica ends a call from her father who worries about her not returning home for long. He also saw a clock on his cell phone which apparently showed at 11 pm.

Not long after, his phone went off again. And it turns out Ren called her too.

"Hello What's up Ren?"

"Where are you, still in the hotel? Is it busy today?"

"I'm still at the hotel, why?"

"Garry invited you to lunch together. He's sorry he didn't see you last night when you came home"

"Hm well I'll come. I'll be ready now, because I just woke up"

"okay"

Elica moved out of the bed she was in to prepare to take a bath.

After spending about an hour, Elica was finally ready to meet Ren and Garry. Apparently the two men invited her to come to a luxurious Five-star restaurant. And luckily Ren was so understanding that he sent people to deliver a change of clothes to Elica, that she wasn't wearing the same clothes as last night. He wears a pastel-colored shirt with jeans, not sparing his hair in a ponytail.

Elica also walked to the elevator to get off the ground floor, considering the room she occupied was on the top floor. He waited for the elevator door to open while playing with his phone.

Ting...

The elevator doors stopped and opened.

But Elica did not look budged when she found someone in the elevator. I don't know why her legs feel limp and her body is stiff. A person who had been five years very much he avoided unexpectedly was now in front of him, and locked his second glance until unknowingly the phone in the hands of Elica fell.

Elica was still stunned yet fully aware of what was going on. Until the person in the elevator walks up to Elica and picks up her cell phone, the man is Alex.

He gave the phone to Elica who was still silent.

"For a long time no see, this is your phone"

Elica took it, apparently the elevator door will be closed. And quickly Alex holds her back for Elica to come in.

There was no other choice, so Elica decided to enter. And it was a coincidence that there was no one else inside. Until the moment the door closed, both of them were shrouded in silence.

Neither Elica nor Alex seem to be busy with their own thoughts. And the atmosphere feels foreign because Alex feels Elica is a little different.

"Can we talk for a minute?" Alex asked the first to open the conversation.

"There's nothing more to talk about, we don't have any problems" replied Elica coldly.

Alex who heard her could only smile bitterly.

"I'm sorry" Alex said softly with his head lowered. Actually the man was very sorry with Elica's behavior that changed drastically.

All his expectations about the woman beside him suddenly disappeared. But he tried not to lose control, because after all not only his ego was prioritized, but he had to remember about his little daughter who was waiting for the mother to go home.

Ting..

Elevator doors open indicating that they are already on the ground floor. Without looking at Alex, Elica rushed out.

Alex quickly also chased after Elica with his quick steps. He immediately pulled Elica's hand to follow her into the car.

"What are you doing. Release." Elica tries to rebel when her hands are held tightly by Alex.

However, Alex does not heed her and forces Elica to get into the car.

"Come in"

"No. Let go or I'll scream"

"Then just scream"

With a single pull Alex also managed to bring Elica into the car.

Alex immediately told the driver to drive the car while he and Elica were in the back seat.

"Where are you taking me? Hasn't all of our business been over for a long time?" Strangled Elica and managed to release Alex's grip which made her hand leave a red mark.

Alex tried not to answer all the words of the woman who was beside him, although various swearings were heard because Elica was very upset with the treatment she got.

"Stop the car now. Stop" cried Elica loudly until the driver who was driving was confused should she stop him.

"Keep going" said Alex casually

"Stop the car or it will.... Emphh" had not had time for Elica to finish her words, suddenly Alex had already silenced her mouth with a kiss. As Elica's eyes widened in shock, she quickly pushed Alex's chest hard to let their link slip.

He wiped his lips many times, while Alex who witnessed it immediately laughed.

"Don't be brash, I can sue you for this" Elica said resentfully.

"really? I'm not afraid" Alex replied in a mocking voice.

Plaque..

Elica, who had been ignited by Alex's treatment, immediately slapped the man for being inappropriate.

Alex touched his cheek after getting a slap and made a red mark there.

"For our first meeting after five years, I'm quite happy to get her"

Elica rolled her eyes in annoyance, she threw her face in the other direction because she realized that the man just kept watching her.

Seeing Elica's hair a little messy, Alex also attached her hair to the back of the woman's ear. And make Elica a little uncomfortable.

"There's someone who wants to meet you. You just shut up, or I'll kiss your lips again, Elica"

"You're nuts. And my name isn't Elica" Alex replied with a smile.

"I know. Your fake name is Yua Anami, a psychologist working in a children's hospital. And you're friends with a guy named Renzo Hitomi he's gay and the truth is again he's the only son of the famous master Mario Hitomi. What else you want to hear, I know everything. Because to me you're forever Elica, the mother of my son and no one else"

Elica was a little stuck hearing Alex's words.

"Don't carry Ren's name, he doesn't know anything"

"Depending on your attitude, if you keep rebelling then I'll tell the whole world if he's gay. And vice versa, you think then all is safe"

"You're threatening me to use him?"

"It wasn't Elica's threat, it was negotiation"

There was a rough sigh from Elica, she tried not to be lured with Alex. And choose silence to give up.

They finally arrive at Alex's Mansion. Actually, Elica was a little surprised to know that Alex brought her here, because as far as she knew, the man lived in a big house.

Alex enters the Mansion, followed by Elica behind him. Not much has changed in the room that Elica is going through, because she feels like everything looks the same as it used to.

"Daddy.." cried Nancy, who found out that Alex had come home early.

"Hey Princess.."

The little girl ran towards her father and Alex carried her.

"Daddy's home or just wanna take something?"

"Of course Daddy came home because he missed you dear"

Without them knowing, Elica saw all the treatment Alex gave the little boy in her sling. And Elica knew exactly who the little girl was.

He could only stand not far away from the father and son. Even though her eyes were already hot wanted to let out her tears.

Suddenly Irene came to those who were in the middle room. She was shocked by a woman who was standing by and looking at Alex and Nancy.

"Elica..." Call Irene who makes Elica look.

"Tante Irene" said Elica

Irene quickly approached Elica and hugged her. It sounds like Irene knows Elica is back.

"Where have you been, Elica, Auntie misses you"

"I'm sorry Auntie"

"Don't go again, don't you see your daughter's grown up"

Elica let go of the embrace and wiped the tears of the middle-aged woman before her.

"Don't cry Auntie"

Irene could not help but overflow her feelings, she clasped Elica's hand like a mother who had not seen her for a long time.

And today she was so happy to see Elica again. Irene looked at Nancy who was now in Alex's arms and saw this. Without waiting long Alex also approached the two women with Nancy.

Elica's eyes could not be seen looking at the little boy who was watching her.

"Nancy, you always say miss Mami, right?" Irene asked the little girl and replied a nod by her.

"Want to meet her?"

"Yes Oma"

"Look, this is your dear Mama. He's gone home" Irene said again, explaining.

At that time also tears Elica could not be dammed when she found the bead of her daughter staring towards her. But Elica did not dare just to say hello because she was afraid if her child already hated her.

"Daddy.." apparently Nancy is still doubtful and can not accept the fact that the woman in front of her is the mother she always waited for.

Until the little girl chose to tighten her hands around Alex's neck and throw her face towards the back.

"Darling, hey. Look at that, your mom. Didn't Nancy always say that she misses Mommy. Come greet your dear Mami" Alex whispered in her daughter's ear to give her understanding.

Nancy shook her head.

Elica who saw him was a little disappointed. But she doesn't blame Nancy's attitude on her, it's only natural that her daughter still feels foreign to her. Because they hadn't met for a long time.

Irene could see the look on Elica's face that looked sad, maybe Nancy also needed time to adjust to everything. Irene tells Alex to take Nancy to her room, because it's time for Nancy to take a nap.

Irene tells Elica to sit down and talk with her, then Elica pin agrees to Irene's invitation.

"How are you and your father Elica?" Irene asked open the conversation.

"We're good Auntie"

For a moment Irene fell silent and looked at Elica deeply.

"Alex has already said everything to aunty. Don't go again, baby, you see Nancy. He's your old son you left behind, every day he asks you questions, and every day he waits for you Elica. Whoever you are right now, never forget about your former identity. Because leaving is not something that can solve the problem"

"She looks fine Auntie" said Elica trying to sound tough.

Irene immediately replied to him with a slit of her head, signaling she did not justify Elica's remark.

"No Elica. All of it is not good. Whether it's Alex or your son. Although Alex can give her anything, but Nancy really needs you as her mother. You should know Elica, all women can be mothers and fathers to their children. But not all men can be fathers and mothers to their children. They both need you, please don't leave again. Because I don't want to see Nancy as much as Alex, who lacks the affection of her parents"

Elica wiped her tears that involuntarily descended to the cheeks. As soon as his phone rang and indicated that a message was coming in, he read the flat screen seriously. After she finished, Elica put her phone back in her bag.

She looked at Irene with a gentle smile and clasped the hand of the middle-aged woman who still looked as beautiful as before.

"Thank you Auntie took care of Nancy. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble for that.

But... It's my choice Auntie, I'll be back in Japan the day after tomorrow"
