The Assassin X Family
Returnee

A hand grip becomes a guide when only darkness is seen. The steps become very careful with feelings of fear and worry.

"Where are we going?" tanyakanya.

"You'll find out in a minute" added another.

He guessed, at this time he was climbing the stairs. I don't know what the man is planning for him.

Not long after, they arrived at a rooftop without a roof. Not far from there is a heart-shaped rose carving on the floor, complete with several candles illuminating around.

The man again led the woman whose eyes were covered with a red cloth. Until finally their steps stopped in front of the flower carving.

"You can open it, Ireena," said the man.

Ireena who was already feeling impatient finally removed the cloth from her eyes with a single pull. Her pretty hair was blown off by the night breeze. Even more shocking was what he saw before him.

Ireena was unable to speak with her eyes widened and both hands covered her gaping mouth. He felt very happy, happy that could not be described with just words.

"Happy birthday, dear," said the man beside her.

Slowly the two eyes of Ireena glazed over. He glanced at the man beside him and directly hugged him very tightly.

"Thank you, El. I'm so happy. I love u" he said.

El returned a hug while inhaling the scent of his lover's body. Very opium. "I love u too" replied El in a soft voice.

Both take off hugs. Stare at each other with smiles of happiness. Behind that, El felt very nervous because he was going to do something that would probably make Ireena even more surprised.

He regulates his breathing rate that can stir. Eliminate doubts that had raged in the head room. Until he finally started kneeling while reaching into his pants pocket.

El knelt before Ireena with a jewel box containing a very beautiful diamond ring, which El showed her.

However, the look on Ireena's surprised face slowly changed. He looked at El with a confused look, instead of being happy or excited.

"What does this mean, El?" tanyakanya.

"Ireena, marry me." El immediately made his point. According to him, no wonder. Because the relationship has been established long enough, and Ireena is old enough now.

Unfortunately, Ireena showed another reaction. He turned his face away and looked angry.

"El me .. You know that I really want to be an international model. So, I want to focus on my ideals first," said Ireena.

"I knew. If you don't want to get married yet, we can get engaged, right?"

"No El!" Ireena's refusal shocked El.

"Is your dream more important than mine?"

"Yes!"

Now, the woman who rejected him used to be present before him again. Not much has changed from him. That pair of eyes was still the same as the eyes that once looked at him lovingly first. The hair he often craves and the body aroma that is characteristic of him. Nothing has changed.

A nostalgia he will never forget. Like how ruthlessly the woman left him without thinking about her feelings. Shamelessly still dared to appear before him.

El realizes that Rose and Yona are still there. He gestured with a look in the eye, making Yona quickly withdraw from the room.

"Who is that woman? Her boyfriend?" rose watched that. However, he stops his thinking and Yona leaves the room.

After their departure, El pushes Ireena's body away from her. The treatment certainly makes the former surprised not play.

"What are you doing here, Ireena?" El repeated the question.

"What did you say? Of course I want to see you. It's been a long time, El. Did you miss me?" tanyakanya. He is really shameless.

El leaned his body against the chair while Ireena sat leaning against the work desk.

"El, why haven't you been replying to my messages for years? Don't you love me anymore?"

"Ireena!"

Hearing the statement, Ireena was surprised instead of playing. He looked very sad to hear it coming out of El's mouth.

"El, didn't I tell you that I wanted to pursue my dreams first?"

"I'm a little surprised by your proposal, but that doesn't mean I don't want it. The next day, I went abroad. I worked so hard for my dreams and I succeeded. El, I'm back, " explains Ireena, reassuring El.

El did not understand his feelings. Honestly, the feelings that used to be very deep, now there was nothing more for him. Seeing him in front of his eyes did not give him any more debate.

Seeing El just silent with a cold gaze, it made Ireena afraid. The man before her was different from the one who had always looked at her with love.

Ireena straightened her body and clasped El's hands together and said, "excuse me, El. I should have never left you. But please believe me. I still love you even though it's been years."

"Then what do you want?" ask El.

"We're back to what we used to be. And now I'm willing to get engaged to you. I was looking forward to the ring you brought that night curling around my ring finger" Ireena said.

Suddenly El pulled his hand.

"Sorry, Ireena. I'm actually married."

El's confession made Ireena surprised instead of playing. Both of his eyes widened perfectly with gaping mouths. He really did not believe what he had just heard.

"What did you say? You must be lying! I don't even see a wedding ring on your finger" Ireena said.

Both of them looked at El's fingers. A marriage that suddenly made him not prepare well. He didn't even give his wife a wedding ring.

"I'm keeping it somewhere" El reasoned.

Ireena tetiba put on a smile but with a strange face folk. He said, "you've never been very good at lying, El. Don't take revenge by saying that. I'm so hurt."

Of course he would not believe it so easily. El also has nothing to prove. Moreover, he did not want to tell anything about the marriage and who his wife was. To Ireena and others.

Not long after, El got out of his seat. No time has shown office break hours.

"It's lunch time. El, how about we go to our favorite restaurant first?"

"I still have a lot to do."

Ireena approached El and took her hand. "It's okay. Just for a minute, really. You know, I really miss the food here. I want--"

"Ireena! I really can't!" el said while releasing himself.

Ireena was again surprised to see El's cold attitude towards her. He was very sad but tried to understand.

"that, huh? All right," said Ireena.

El was still silent as he turned his face away, not wanting to look at Ireena. It made Ireena know that she had to leave immediately.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. But El, next time you can't refuse my invitation, yeah."

El did not answer.

"I ... go first." Ireena started to step foot in heavy steps. Every step he took he always turned his head, hoping El saw it. But it was in vain.

Until finally the woman's body disappeared from his sight. El took a deep breath while closing his eyes. Ireena's appearance had really surprised him.

Outside, Ireena accidentally runs into Rose. He stopped his legs to catch a glimpse of Rose's face. While Rose ignored him and continued to step foot, then entered El's room.

Arrive inside after closing the door. Suddenly El stood in front of her and hugged her.

The surprised Rose rebelled, saying, "what are you doing? Release!" But El even more tightened his embrace.

"Let it be like this, just for a second," he asked.

Rose's heart moved. He subconsciously obeyed El's words and stopped his actions. It was like understanding El's feelings at the time. I don't know why.
