The President's Contract Wife
Chapter 86: A Happy Smile

Rafa takes Ella to a small clothing store. Wanted to change a little the appearance of the girl standing next to him. Ella could only silently stare at the store, daydreaming that she was thinking of Devan who had taken her to a mall. The memories began to reappear.

"Come, Ara." Rafa immediately went inside the store. While Ella rubbed her eyes for a while, removing those memories with Devan. His longing cannot be lied to. Even so, Ella kept him.

"Rafa, it's better not to bother like this. Your hard-earned money is wasted buying me this way." Ella begins to complain about not wearing the couple clothes Rafa is buying and holding now.

"Okay, Ara. You take it dong, my gift period was just rejected." Rafa pouted in front of Ella. Ella lowered her head, she knew Rafa's purpose. Definitely aim to wear a couple shirt together and start to approach him. But this reminds him of Devan and Elisha who used to shop out of buying a couple. It made Ella start to feel sad.

"It looks like you don't want to, yeah already .. we don't-"

"You don't want to give it back." Ella intercepted Rafa. Rafa looked at her and smiled happily. Ella took it and went to the dressing room. While Rafa had finished wearing his pair of clothes.

Crews!

Ella came out from behind the door, Rafa's eyes were on Ella who came out with a pretty charming appearance, beautiful natural and perfect. Moreover, a soft Syall does not forget to wrap his white neck. Rafa immediately went to tip and instantly pulled Ella out. Ella slightly hid her cough so that Rafa would not worry about her. But Rafa will know this anyway.

"We've arrived, what do you think Miss Ara?" Rafa got off the bike to his destination. This man smiled at Ella while folding both his hands.

"Pfft, ahaha." Once again Rafa managed to make Ella laugh. Didn't think the festival in question was a night market exactly today night of the week. It is suitable for walking for both.

"Well, how about a laugh?" Rafa was astonished.

"Laughter, this is you taking me to the night market. Not to the lantern festival place." Ledek Ella held back her laughter, saying Rafa was already myopic unable to discern the correct place.

"Ahaha, it turns out so. But, let's just say you're at the festival. So, here I'm gonna take you in for a walk." Rafa's laughter immediately drew Ella into the night market.

"Eeeeeeeeh ...." Ella made it hard to think Rafa was so easy to get in with her. Ella immediately covered part of her face, and only her eyes were visible. Eve tonight made him shiver a little.

Joking laughter began to sound, Ella was completely comforted by all that Rafa had shown her. From choosing food, now both choose drinks. I also forgot to watch a game. Ella who was busy watching, secretly Rafa left her for a while, wanting to buy something first.

"Tonight, I must express my feelings for her" muttered Rafa looking at a plastic rose and a silver ring in both hands.

"It's okay to give him this first, if Ara is mine, I'll give you the real one. I must have it all." Rafa smiled looking at the silver ring on his left hand, hoping that Ella would choose the ring later rather than the flower. Rafa turned to Ella who was smiling very amused tonight. Ella's sweet smile made Rafa even more earnest with her intentions.

"Mom!" call Rafa over to him and give him a bottle of melon-flavored ice pop. He drinks the coffee taste.

"Hm, where have you been, Rafa?" asked Ella to start drinking some of her ice pop.

"Hehe, from buying it." Point Rafa at Ella's drink.

"Oh, thanks for the drink." Ella smiled, forced to drink it so that Rafa did not suspect her who had the disease. But Ella was not actually allowed to drink like that since childhood by her father. But for Rafa's sake so as not to be disappointed, Ella accepted it.

"Hm, here." Once again Rafa pulled it.

"Eh, where are we going?" Ella wondered where she was taken again.

"Follow it, I'll make you happy tonight."

"All right, then." Ella was led to a seller who began to be slowly seen in the corner of the market.

"This is right?" Point Ella at the lantern in the sales shop in front of her.

"Hehe, I was going to say lantern festival, right? Well, now his lanterns are in place. Even if there's no festival, the important thing is to let go of the lantern tonight." Obviously Rafa scratched his head a little grimace. Ella chuckled again, really funny and very amused. Rafa buys a lantern and starts lighting it up.

"Now you hold it" Rafa told Ella. He told her to hold the other side of the lantern that Rafa was holding. Ella must have been nervous to obey him. Look up to see tonight decorated with beautiful stars.

"Are you ready, Ara?" ask Rafa to see it.

"You want to take this off?" Ella asked back.

"Well, it is Maimunah! It's a lantern flying up, it's flying down." Canda Rafa makes Ella laugh.

"Ish, already. Don't call me that again!" ketus Ella squinted her eyes.

"Yes-yes." Rafa said. The two looked at each other and looked down. Of course Rafa liked this moment more, hoping his closeness continues with Ella. But not for Ella who lowered her head not because of blushing but this was too excessive. And I don't know what's the point of Rafa doing this.

Slowly both of their hands released the lanterns upwards. It was so beautiful that the luminous thing rose up into the sky. Rafa closed his eyes starting to hope that tonight his plan worked. Unlike Ella who hopes tonight gives her a miracle of God being able to see Devan tonight.

"Ella," called Rafa and now he saw her and quickly grabbed Ella's two hands. This young girl was certainly surprised suddenly Rafa held both hands.

"I want to talk to you about something." Rafa started dag-dig-dug. Fearful and anxious Ella would reject him.

"I'm-i'm actually-"

"Wanna go home?" guess Ella decided it.

"No, Ara."

"Yes on, what?"

"I-I'm actually-" Nervous mixed in tension makes Rafa stammer to reveal his feelings.

"What actually?"

"I like you, Ara!" rafa immediately hugged him. Ella's eyes are certainly patterning, her guess is right if Rafa not only entertains her but wants to express her feelings. Ella pushed Rafa away from him and looked at Rafa who was beaming through his pocket and pulled out two different things.

"Ara, actually .. I've liked you for a long time since I sat on the Junior High. It was just that time that you suddenly had no news after your father died. At that time, I honestly waited for you to return to school. But it turns out that you're out of school," explains Rafa, frankly starting to like Ella. Ella just kept quiet, knowing that time was the worst possible point for her. Moreover, his stepmother was the one who took him out of school.

"But now, because I've found you and seen you tonight. I honestly really like you, you wanna be"

"I'm sorry" said Ella pushing Rafa's hands together. I don't want to receive the ring or the flower.

"Sorry for what?" rafa asked a little disappointed if Ella would turn him down.

"You're good Rafa. You're the best guy I know, you should think about doing this to me. I'm just a regular girl and an orphan. I'm just going to trouble you, so-" said Ella stopped, it hurt to reject Rafa who was always good to her. But reality can't be kept secret anymore.

"No, Ara. I'm sincere with you, I don't care about your past." Rafa is hoping again.

"Sorry, Rafa. I can't accept you. We better not see each other again and tonight it looks like it's going to rain, so you go home." Ella turned to clench her hands and walked over, trying to hold back her tears.

"No, I won't be home until you tell me the obvious reason!" Hold Rafa pull Ella's arm. Ella turned around then brushed aside Rafa's hand, looking seriously at the guy in front of her.

"I told you, I can't take you."

"Then explain it to me! Why did you reject me so quickly?" rafa asked firmly grasping the two objects in her hand.

"Is it because these rings and flowers are fake so you won't accept me?" guess Rafa asked back.

"No, not that."

"Then what?" rafa was really disappointed.

"Because I'm married," Ella said in response, which actually made Rafa very surprised and even the two objects in her hand fell to the ground.

"Me-married? Since when have you been married?" Rafa couldn't believe hearing that.

"That was three weeks ago, I left my husband. I'm a married woman, Rafa. I don't deserve you, so now you don't like me. Go and from now on don't see me again. Excuse me." Ella paused and then turned and left Rafa who looked down.

"So all this time I've loved other people's soul mates?" thought Rafa, starting to feel pain in his heart. Rafa passed away leaving behind rings and flowers that were stepped on by passersby. Ella who saw him leave just rubbed her eyes then ran and started coughing up phlegm again. In her run, Ella accidentally hit someone's body until she fell herself to the ground.

"I-I'm sorry, sir." Ella just looked down not to see who she hit and ran back into the cold tonight. Unlike the man who was still standing looking for the person who had hit him.

"He, who was he?" she asks herself who is none other than Devan who cannot recognize Ella who wears a syall and looks thin. This man came with Elisha to look at the night market as well as refreshing his mind. It was tired to look for Ella, and began to resign even though the longing made her suffer and hurt her heart.

"If you were alive, you'd be by my side now, Ella." Devan lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, which he wanted to cry, but could still be held back.

"Devan, it turns out you're here. Tonight we're the"

"Home home, don't be that spoiled against me!" devan said coldly and left Elisha who came from the night market. Elisha was annoyed at being ignored now.

"Devan wait! We're getting married, you should be nice to me! There are only four days left and we'll have the wedding!" peek Elisha immediately chased after him. Completely failed to be tight with Devan who at any time can not forget his wife first.

The wedding was supposed to have taken place a week ago, but Devan often reasoned ill until their wedding day was postponed. But now, Devan can no longer pretend to be sick, can't lie to everyone and is now sincerely accepting this marriage. By now, Ella had arrived at her rented house.

"I'm sorry, Rafa." Her tears broke already rejecting Rafa, her mind was in turmoil. Now maybe no one will care about him anymore. Ella stood up from the floor for a drink, calmed her mind and sat down on a chair. Opening the syall, yet suddenly a dazzling light came from its syall. Ella was surprised to see her necklace snagged. Ella took, and really her necklace.

"This-this how can there be?" muttered Ella rubbed her nose which began to melt using tissue. Ella realized, assuming the person she hit the owner of this necklace and that means the person is no stranger to her.

"What was that, Mr Devan?" I thought Ella was smiling happily thinking Devan had come looking for her. Ella immediately went into her room putting the necklace around her neck.

"Will he come looking for me here?"

Ella smiled again, really happy if it was real. Ella looked down, thinking she wanted to go back to the villa. But Ella is afraid of the Devan family who may not accept her presence. Now on his face was only a moody expression. Ella took the usual medicine that had been purchased at the stall earlier, then threw herself shut her eyes, hoping for a good day tomorrow for her.
