THE WASTED WIFE
PROFOUND FEELING

"I'm sorry" said Ela bowed while twirling their engagement ring.

I don't know what's on Ela's head, she suddenly takes off the ring.

"I don't deserve to wear it, I've hurt you" she exclaimed in a trembling voice.

Both of his eyes were already glazed. Ela was unable to stare at both of Maxxie's sharp beads. He knew very well, Max hated him.

"I know you went to see me, to take this ring, and cut off our relationship" Elara said softly barely audible. His body was trembling too. Elara's mind was so upset. He believes what is on his mind. Max will definitely break their engagement.

Ela turned her face as Maxxie stood without distance. Max pulls Ela's chin so she looks at him. While one hand held the fingers of Ela who was holding the ring.

Without Elara noticing, the tears in the corner of her eyes fell on her face. With misty eyes Ela looked at Maxxie.

"I'm-excuse ak–"

Elara could not continue when her mouth filled Maxxie's mouth. Ela's lips felt so cold and quivering. His body feels weak. If only Maxxie's hand was not holding her, it was certain Elara would collapse. Elara did not reply to the slightest link of Maxxie's lips. He just fell silent with a trembling body.

Slowly Maxxie released her lips on Elara's lips. Both of his eyes radiated a deep pent-up longing. Both fingers gently rubbed his lover's face and wiped the tears that constantly wet the beautiful face of Ela who looked very pale. Even Maxxie could feel Elara's body trembling.

Maxxie pulls Ela's body into her arms.

"I'm sorry, honey. Of course I don't want you to get away from me. How could you think I didn't expect the continuation of our relationship. I want, even want, a more serious relationship. I want to marry you soon, Ela", Maxxie said, gently rubbing Ela's back to warm up and calm Elara's feelings.

Maxxie kissed the head of Elara. "Don't even think about getting away from me, baby. I won't let it. I love you Elara" said Maxxie.

Like getting a flush of rushing water for barren land, when hearing Maxxie's words, that second also Elara cried haru in the arms of Maxxie.

As if I could not believe what he was hearing. Elara is still in doubt. "I'm afraid. I have committed many sins in the past. Even I'm such a woman of heart", Ela shuddered.

Elara's tears wet Maxxie's clothes. Max felt his chest warm. But Maxxie felt Elara's body so cold and trembling.

Maxxie let go of his embrace and looked at Ela who looked so pale. "Darling..are you okay?"

Maxxie felt Elara's face so pale. Ela looked at Maxxie with a sad look. Without a second thought Maxxie lifted his lover's body into the villa. And lay the body down on the sofa that was seen by Max in the spacious living room.

"Calm yourself. Don't think things out, now I'm with you" Max gently rubbed Ela's face with emotion.

Maxxie saw Elara's hands clenched clutching their engagement ring. Max opens Ela's hand, takes the ring and puts it back on Elara's ring finger. "I can accept you for who you are. Your advantages and disadvantages. This ring is a sign of our love, do not let go again" said Maxxie who sat on the same sofa where Ela's body is lying at this time.

Clear circles unstoppable again, re-wetting Elara's face. "I don't want to remember my past anymore. I don't want you one day to bring her back. Better leave me alone" said Elara slowly.

"No dear. When you left that night, I felt a void in my heart. I chased you, but you're gone. I'm waiting at your apartment, you're not coming back".

"I've made a decision that I won't betray. I know how I feel, I want you. I love you all my body, Elara. I can accept your past".

"Yesterday I was shocked to hear your confession, but nothing compared to the feeling of love I had for you. I don't want us to break up. I want you to be my wife, Elara. Quickly marry you".

The two Netra Elara blinked her eyelids. Like a dream to hear Maxxie's words that make you cry.

Max's fingers wiped away Elara's tears, slowly Max's face approached Elara, so close without distance.

"I love you Elara. Accept you as you are. Nothing can change this feeling for you. I promise I'll never bring up your past again. Don't ever think of leaving me Ela again. Your place is beside me", whispered Maxxie gently in Elara's ear.
