The Tough Trio And Elena
Chapter 56 Elena Galau

The next day Elena went to work as usual. But he daydreams a lot. I faintly heard music from Elena's phone. The song Twist me around by Mocca seemed to represent Elena's current feelings being confused by Arya's difficult-to-guess attitude.

Sometimes you're sweeter than a pie made of lemon

But sometimes full of secrets like Clark Kent

Twist me around...

Several times Elena also sighed. He still vividly remembers Arya's kiss a few days ago. Even the Seno who was almost married to her never kissed her like that.

Elena sighed again. But before returning to Jakarta Arya even gave him a surprise by taking him to the grave of his late wife. He was completely confused by Arya's attitude. But Elena is convinced that Arya still loves his wife's house and has no intention of looking for her instead. Why should I be sad? He never gave me hope. All this time he was just being nice to me.

Dimas realized that Elena looked different today. He then contacted Elena via intercom.

"Elena, please come to my room for a moment"

"Yes, sir"

Cindy looked at Elena with a feeling of uneasiness. He was afraid Elena was reprimanded Dimas because he had been daydreaming a lot. But he hopes nothing happens because all this time Dimas was good to all of them and never picky.

Elena knocked on the door and entered. Dimas then told Elena to sit on the sofa in Dimas' room. Then Dimas sat down next to Elena.

"Elena, are you okay?"

"I? Yes, I'm good sir"

"Did anything happen while you were in Kuala Lumpur yesterday?"

"Why did Mr Dimas ask that? Everything is fine, you can read from my report"

"I mean other than work"

"No... There's nothing... The Knight didn't say anything either, did he? Oh right, by the way, Knight today didn't go in, sir?"

Dimas smiled obliquely. Looks like something Elena covered up.

"What, you look nervous?"

"Why didn't you answer my question?"

"Which question?" Dimas pretended not to know because he wanted to tease Elena.

"On the Knight. Is he sick? Because he said yesterday he was tired"

"Are you worried?"

"No, I just asked. Then I go back to my desk!"

"Wait... Wait for... Don't be angry dong. I'll answer your question as long as you want to have lunch with me. How's it?"

"Eengs... Yeah, fine"

"Okay, then now you can go back to your desk"

"Good, Sir"

**

Lunch time has finally arrived. Dimas went straight out of the room and invited Elena to eat at a place a bit away from the Office and not too crowded.

"Here the place is not too crowded, but if you make a meal while chatting nice because it is not too noisy. I'm the same Arya likes to come here sometimes. Sometimes we really like to go to a place that is not too crowded, because it is more comfortable" said Dimas at length. Elena simply nodded her head while looking around the place.

"By the way about Arya's sister, Dimas hasn't answered my question yet"

"That's it again. I had lunch with Cindy anyway" Elena started to leave, but Dimas' hand held her back.

"Sorry, are you angry? Sit down and I'll tell you."

"Yes promise?"

"Yes promise" Then Elena sat down across from Dimas.

"Arya called me this morning she said she's permission today not to go in because she's not feeling well anymore. Honestly, I felt a bit guilty also because when I asked him to replace me suddenly and at that time he was tired again"

"Oh means that Arya's sister is not feeling well, huh, mas?"

"Yes"

Elena wanted to visit him, but coming to his house was inappropriate. He would be very embarrassed, especially with the Aryan family.

"Why, Elena? You seem to have more thoughts"

"Ah, there's nothing. But if Dimas mas will want to see Arya, I send greetings yes"

"Yes, I'll say hello. Mm... Elena..."

"Yes?"

"Please be honest with me, what exactly happened as long as you were with Arya in Kuala Lumpur?"

Elena felt like she could no longer dodge it. Then he told her everything from the kiss until the last time Arya took Elena to Aisyah's grave.

"Mas, but please don't talk to Arya about this. I'm ashamed"

"Yes I promise I won't tell Arya, because I'm sure she won't tell me first if I don't ask you"

Although Dimas was surprised to hear Elena's story, Dimas tried to see it from Aryan's point of view.

"mmm... If I think why Arya ngajak you to the tomb of Aisyah because the first moment is right, you happen to be back in Malaysia, where Aisyah lived from birth until she died there. He also wants to be honest with you, do not want to cover up again like before"

"Did Mas Dimas ever meet Ayesha when she was alive?"

"Never. I'm the same Tev but I've been to his grave. Kan Arya also married secretly, ga ngabarin at all. It was not the first time he disappeared, once he met even brought shocking news" said Dimas with a frown.

"I seemed to have been presumptuous when asking if he still loved his wife's house or not" Elena said, looking down embarrassed. Dimas was surprised to hear that.

"Trus what did he answer after you nanya that?"

"She just said that she used to love him, that's all she could tell me"

Dimas' eyes glared away considering the moment when Arya told about his life during the two years married to Aisyah.

"For a year married, Arya was indeed happy. But a year after that until Aisyah died, her life was like hell"

"Why is that, my mom?"

"Arya was disappointed with Aisha. It turns out that before meeting Arya, Aisyah was already sick. He had leukemia, just like Tev's mammary disease. For a year Aisyah managed to cover it up until finally Arya knew because the disease got worse. After that Aisyah instead asked Arya to leave her, but Arya did not want to. He wanted to take care of Aisyah during her illness, but Arya was rejected outright. Then her family took over to take care of Aisyah and asked Arya to take care of her divorce and return to Indonesia. But Arya persisted. Arya is indeed a type of warrior, according to her name, Knight. And if he loves someone he never takes responsibility. He will give everything he has to the people he loves. I think he's been deliberately ungabarin we're here because we're gonna have to ask him to come back here and stop being a fool there."

Elena listened to Dimas' story carefully. He did not expect Arya's story would be this bitter. Then Dimas went back to his story.

"Arya came back here not only with a broken heart in grief, but she regretted an unenviable farewell to Aisyah. I've never seen him cry like that. He was traumatized and didn't want to fall in love after that. I don't know, I just hope that someday there will be someone who can heal his heart and make him happy."

Elena felt sad to hear it, but she also knew that it was not only Arya who was feeling heartbroken. It seems he also can't expect Arya to be in a relationship more than just friends with him.
