The President's Contract Wife
Chapter 85: The Suffering of Aradella

Day after day has passed until now Ella has started to get used to working at the cafe. His strength is quite enough to help other employees, there is even one employee friend who is getting familiar with him now.

It had been two weeks since Ella could only give a sweet smile, but it was clearly forced. Although the cost of his life began to improve already able to live independently, still his heart is still sad and difficult to move on to a man who is still her husband status.

Even Ella was upset that there was no news from Devan looking for her on TV or in other media. Ella hopes that the person she longs for comes looking for her, but it is not Devan who comes to her, but Rafa who is getting more and more attention to her. Ella was now standing in the kitchen looking at herself in the reflection of the small mirror in front of her. It's pathetic of him now.

"My neck is gone, and my love is gone."

"Is he not looking for me? Does he not miss me?"

Ella lowered her head and squeezed her apron tightly. Devan's shadow has not disappeared in his mind, let alone the words of his mother. If you remember, this is all very funny to him. Already dumped by his own mother and now feels himself dumped by Devan as well. Unknowingly a clear drop of tears descended slowly.

"Hey, are you crying?"

Ella nodded her eyes and turned to the source of the voice. Just the smile Ella gave to the female employee friend who had just spoken.

"No, I was just flickering." Ella lies to her friend every day, not wanting her grief to be known.

"You got a problem, huh, La?" Ella immediately shook her head at her friend who asked now.

"Certainly?" Ella smiled forcibly.

"If you're not feeling well, you better take a day's cuty, I'm worried about you, La."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Once again Ella smiled. Ella is sick now. Not just heartache, but his whole body hurts all. There wasn't enough energy to make him strong, just the coercion he was going through right now. Forcing himself to live life alone in search of food. Even so, Ella was grateful that a friend was paying attention to her.

"Yes, I went there first. You do the dishes, Boss call me to bring the order, is that okay?" He said to Ella while tidying up the boxes of orders nearby.

"It's okay, I can wash everything." Ella smiled and turned around and started washing dishes.

"I go first, yes" he said, lifting his order.

But just about to approach the door, Ella's coughing voice was quite loud, making her friend turn her head, her eyes were straight to see Ella looked helpless.

"La!" immediately putting down his order, he ran towards Ella who was again sitting on the floor.

"La, what's wrong with you?" He began to panic to see Ella looking pale and seemed to endure pain.

"La, answer me! You why? You're sick again, aren't you?" Her panic intensified when she saw blood on Ella's palm.

"You just go. I'm fine" Ella coughed again in front of her friend.

"Well, what's fine! You are sick again but still evasive! Now we go to the clinic!"

Ella immediately brushed off the hand that wanted to make her stand up. "Once you're late. I'm okay, I'm ...." Ella's shrill voice stopped again, as well as her slowly starting to limp made her friend even more panicked.

"You don't talk much, now we're going to the clinic!" he immediately saw Ella standing up. Ella just glanced at him, and immediately hugged her friend. The tear granules finally fell down also soaked both of his thin cheeks, making his friend surprised.

"Can I cry this time?"

Ella was still sobbing, this was her first cry after restraining herself from crying again for two weeks. But Ella couldn't hold back her crying. His whole body began to ache and limp.

"Thank you" said Ella, wiping her eyes. Thank you for being given support for your sadness.

"La, if you're sick, you better cuty first. You've been getting thinner for a long time now I'm taking you to the clinic. You're afraid you're really sick, let alone coughing up blood." His words only made Ella bow and then nodded and then permission on the Cafe Boss.

Arriving at the clinic, Ella again coughed up blood after getting off the motor. But this time Ella bullied him from her friend who was busy looking at the phone to track the location of her order.

"I'll go back, La. You wait here, I'll just be a minute."

"Hm, he." Ella just agreed and smiled to see her employee friend leave. Ella rubbed her hands using the cloth she had hidden.

"Actually, what's the pain? Why these two weeks I feel so weak, even eating only I start to feel no taste. I'd rather just go in than wait for him."

Ella walked into the clinic, her goal was to check her body condition. Ella is now nervous as she looks at the Doctor, afraid that something severe will happen to her throat.

"Em, Doctor. What the hell happened to me?" ella asked, holding her hand. Tense mixed with anxiety was checked just now.

"Huft," The female doctor in front of him who was sitting just sighed.

"Everything's okay, right, Doc?" asked Ella once again who was starting to break out in cold sweat.

"Look, have you not been feeling well lately?" The doctor began asking questions to make sure it was clearer.

"Yes, I often get tired, especially my chest is often tight and also I have trouble eating, Doc."

"Then, do you sweat every night?" ask the doctor and start writing his statement.

The doctor spontaneously saw Ella, certainly surprised to hear Ella's last words. The doctor stood up and took a letter from his closet. Ella stood up and approached the doctor.

"You better go to the hospital for more details, here's a letter of recommendation for you." The doctor gave the examination to Ella. Tell Ella to do the program when her guess is right.

"What's this for, and why do I have to go to the hospital, Doc?" ella asked even more afraid if her guess was true if there was an illness that she had suffered so far.

"The description you gave me, it seems to be the symptoms of TB (Tuberculosis)." Obviously the doctor made Ella break the ball. I'm surprised to know what he's suffering. Moreover, this disease suffered by his father first and because Mr. Shan used to lack care, until finally died.

"Is this disease severe, Doc?" asked Ella a little.

"Depends on the level of the disease. So, now that you're in the hospital, start doing the check-ups for yourself." The doctor smiled.

Ella looked down at the doctor's certificate and came out. Ella ran away to the contract she had rented for two weeks. Really great news for him. Ella could only hold back her cries at every step of her foot down and broke through the crowd, entering a small alley.

Both of Ella's legs stopped at a rundown contract. But it did not stop because it had arrived, but saw there was a man sitting on his motorbike looking at him. Ella quickly poked her paper in the pocket of her jeans.

"Rafa, why are you here?" ask Ella to approach him.

"I was looking for you at the cafe. But I didn't see you, so I came here. Uh, you know you don't exist either."

"Oh that, I had some business," said Ella to the door, but Rafa immediately intercepted her. This man stood in front of Ella then took a serious look from top to bottom.

"Awhile," said Rafa touching his chin looking at Ella intently.

"Hm, what's up, Ra?"

"Iniloh, it's only been three days not to see you .. Why are you being so skinny?" ask Rafa around Ella.

"Ahaha, that's my diet" Ella said looking for an excuse.

"snurt, ahahaha. A diet? God, why should you diet everything? You're right if the fattening is slightly visible" said Rafa stopped and laughed a little at the thought of oppai.

"What look?" Ella squinted her eyes began to get annoyed with laughter especially Rafa must have thought strangely.

"That's it, now you're coming with me." Rafa pulled Ella's hand.

"Eh, where are you going?" asked Ella to let go of Rafa's grasp.

"Okay, Ara. You're I know! So I'm taking you to-"

"Where?" ella asked looking seriously at Rafa who was busy scratching her head in thought.

"Ha! We're going to the lantern festival tonight! I'll also treat you a lot of food, let you get fat!" Rafa smiled successfully looking for an idea.

"Pfft, ahaha .. where there's a lantern festival now." Ella laughed, this is what makes Rafa happy to visit this girl. Ella's funny laughter made her unforgettable. Finally, for three days, he could see his laughter again.

"Yes, there's dong. Now, you come with me. I'll show you the lantern festival!" rafa smiled with satisfaction. Ella also smiled, whether this was forced or indeed a sincere smile for Rafa.

"Then you're here first. I'm gonna go in and get ready." Ella finally agreed, there was no harm in accepting Rafa's invitation. In addition, this slightly reduced his mind about his illness.

"Eits, no need." Rafa held Ella's hand. Ella spontaneously turned around to see him instantly pulling his hand off Rafa. This man was surprised by Ella's response.

"Sorry, Rafa. You better not get too close to me." Ella sees him, afraid that his illness will move to Rafa.

"Eh, why?" rafa asked a little disappointed to hear that.

"That's, because .. because I'm a whore!" ella answered.

"Ha, dekil? Where there is, you are cute like a rabbit." Rafa starts to seduce Ella and laughs a little. Ella fell silent and finally let out a small laugh. Rafa may think of him as a rabbit, even though rabbits are more cute than him.

"Yes already, here. I'll take you to the store."

"Eh, what's it doing?"

"Don't ask, you'll know." Said Rafa pulling Ella up to his bike.

Ella was a little nervous now, let alone Rafa unceasingly teasing and unceasingly paying attention to her. To be honest, Rafa is better now and even Rafa sometimes asks him to stay in his apartment.

But Ella always refused not to bother Rafa again. Because to him, Rafa is just a friend, nothing more. I don't want to depend on Rafa constantly. All Ella thinks about is Devan. Wishing her husband well there after marrying Elisha later. If Ella had known Rafa was Devan's sister, maybe Ella would have stayed away from Rafa as well. Rafa's bike is leaving Ella's contract.
