Two Faces One Love
Forgive Me

Eilaria had not been asleep for too long. He woke up and looked around his room. Silent, lonely, I want Eilaria to cry. He got off the bed and went to the bathroom. When he entered the bathroom, the smell of soap and wet floors showed that someone had just taken a shower. He rushes out of the room and finds that Iel is having dinner by himself.

"Honey....!" Call Eilaria. His face immediately looked happy.

Iel. "You're awake? It's still 2 at dawn."

Eil approached with a pouting face. "You're why I don't have my phone on, my message isn't read either. I feel your attention to me seems to be diminishing."

Iel looked at his wife. He put away his empty plate, he gulped down his white water, took a tissue and cleaned his mouth, after which he approached Eil. He invited Eil to sit on the living room sofa.

"There's a problem with my company. It's very hard on the problem, because it takes special attention to solve. One step wrong, I can go to jail, my company can be closed. I thought of the fate of a hundred more of my employees who could have lost their jobs." Iel said after the two sat down.

Eilaria held Gabriel's hand. "I'm your wife, we should share."

Iel took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I just don't want you to worry. We just got married. We should be enjoying happiness now."

"When did you know there was a problem?"

"When I was on medication in Bogor. Gerry told me that the head of the finance division suddenly asked to stop. I asked Gerry to investigate immediately, it turns out that the police have searched our company and retrieved some important documents. That's why we tried so hard to prove that I wasn't involved. That my signature has been falsified as well as the company's stamp."

Eilaria became guilty hearing that. He had accused Iel of ignoring him but Iel was facing a severe problem.

"I'm sorry, baby." Eil wrapped his hand around Iel's arm while leaning on his shoulder. But Iel suddenly grimaced.

"illness?" Eil raised his head quickly while staring at Iel.

"Little."

"Darling, as far as I know your wound is on the right shoulder." Eil was astonished.

"My left shoulder was bruised and quite badly."

"I see!"

Gabriel held Eil's hand. "Alright, baby. I don't want you to worry about me any more."

"We'll go to the doctor tomorrow, Iel. Don't get too preoccupied with your company's problems and forget about your health." Eil became worried.

"I'm still on medication. Last afternoon also the doctor still came to the company to check on me. We should just sleep, right?"

"I'm hungry."

"Gosh, Eil. Why don't you eat?"

"I waited for you with annoyance. I finally fell asleep. I feel hungry now."

"Eat! I'll keep you company."

"Babouts!" whinek Eil spoiled while showing his injured hand.

Iel nodded. He immediately took food for Eil and fed his wife.

Eilaria ate voraciously with a feeling of happiness. He ate all the food Iel had for him.

"Honey, I called bi Uli to come help me clean the apartment and prepare this dinner for us" said Eil after Iel finished washing the tableware they used.

"Goodoo. Your hands should not be wet too often. He will be healed long."

"Yes." Yeah."

The gel evaporated several times.

"You sleepy?" ask Eil.

"Yes. Maybe because I took the medicine. Let's go to the room!" Take Gabriel and go first. Eil followed him.

"Sleep. I'm still full so wait a little more to get some sleep." Eilaria said while leaning her back on the head of the bed.

Gabriel kissed Eil's forehead, then kissed Eil's lips for a moment. After that, he laid his body. Soon after, Iel's breathing seemed regular. It was a sign that he was already sound.

Eilaria took her phone. He saw pictures of their togetherness. Until finally his eyes became heavy and he joined Iel in carrying a blanket.

*********

Eilaria wakes up when the clock strikes at 8am and she finds out that Gabriel must be gone. Eilaria also called bi Uli to accompany him to cook because he wanted to give a surprise by delivering lunch to the office.

at half-twelfth, Eilaria was ready. He ordered a taxi online and headed to Iel's office.

When dating first, Eil several times invited by Iel to come to his office. Eil was even familiar with the receptionist, assistant secretary and some of the higher-ups in Iel's company who were all young just like Iel.

When Eilaria got off the taxi, the security guard immediately smiled at her. He knew that Eilaria was hard to be his master's wife even though they were not invited to her wedding.

"Welcome, madam!"

"thank you. Is my husband inside?"

"Mr Gabriel doesn't seem to be here yet, madam."

"Not arrived?"

"Yes. That's your car park still empty."

Eilaria frowned. She put her luggage on the security desk and called her husband.

Iel's phone is back on. Eil remembers that he kept Gerry's number on his phone before they got married.

"Hallo Gerry."

"Sorry, who is this with?"

"I'm Eilaria. Didn't you keep my number?"

"Sorry lady. What's up?"

"Where are you?"

"Hurry now! I've been waiting for you guys. Tell my husband, turn on the phone." Eilaria overran the conversation. "May I wait in his room?"

"Of course, madam."

Eilaria stepped in. He felt the air this afternoon was rather hot so he needed AC to cool his body.

gabriel's company isn't very big. There are 3 floors and Gabriel's room is on the 3rd floor.

Vera, one of Gabriel's confidants immediately stood up and greeted Eilaria upon seeing the girl come out of the elevator.

"Mrs....!"

"Vera Hallo. My husband's on his way here. I'll wait for him in his room."

"Of course, come on!" Vera opens the door to Gabriel's room and lets the girl in.

Eilaria stared at Iel's entire workspace. He smiled to find his picture there. He remembered that Gabriel had said that the photo was deliberately placed there to increase his enthusiasm in work. In retrospect, Iel was very romantic before they got married. But why does he feel like something has changed? Did the problems at the office affect him?

15 Minutes wait, Iel has not come, Eil also out of Iel's room. At that moment Vera was getting ready to leave.

"You're out for lunch?" ask Eil.

"Yes, madam. Is there something the lady wants?"

la

"I just want to ask you what's going on here."

Vera smiled wryly. "Quite draining, madam. Yesterday we were meeting until half-twelve in the evening. Mr. Gabriel looks very burdened. He fought hard to save this company. I was one of the people who started this company together. At that time we were only 14 people, over time, not until two years, this company has employed almost a hundred people. This is the third year the company has been established. I know that you must be very concerned about the fate of the workers. Because if you want to think about it, what does this company mean compared to the large Dawson family company that has expanded abroad. Not to mention the hotels and their apartments."

Eilaria's heart was touched by Vera's words. Iel just changed. Apparently he was very burdened with this company. Eilaria should not be spoiled and demand more attention.

"Thank you, Vera. You can go." Eilaria returned to Iel's room. I have to support my husband. I can't demand this or that. I will support him with all the knowledge I have.

The door of the room opened after Eilaria waited for almost an hour.

"Honey....!" Eilaria slightly ran over and immediately hugged Iel affectionately. He buried his face in Gabriel's neck.

"I'm sorry I came late. It's jammed." Gabriel said as he rubbed his wife's back.

"It's okay." Eilaria let go of her embrace. "You changed perfume?"

"No." Gabriel shakes.

Eilaria again relaxed her nose around Gabriel's body. "Honey, you smell alcohol and also smell medicine."

"What time?" Gabriel raised his hand and tried to kiss her clothes.

Eilaria looked at her husband. "Are you from the hospital?"

"Yes. I checked my wounds."

"Maybe the smell from the hospital huh. We had lunch with Yuk! I brought you lunch to enjoy together."

"Don't bother yourself too much. Your hand is still hurt."

"Bi Uli helped me." Eilaria opened the bottom of the food.

Gabriel stared at the food Eilaria was carrying.

"Why, baby?" eilaria asked looking at Gabriel's expression as she looked at the food she was carrying.

"Darling, because of the treatment I was on, the doctor forbade me from eating spicy and greasy food."

"Oh.forgive me." Eilaria seemed to regret. He was so eager to prepare a spicy beef rendang because he knew Iel really liked spicy food. He also made chicken balado sauce.

"Don't be disappointed, huh? I'll eat the vegetables you brought. I'll spend it all. So is the soup." Gabriel made Eilaria smile. Fortunately he made vegetable lettuce and mushroom soup mix tofu.

The two also ate together. Gabriel doesn't talk much. Only Eilaria was engrossed in telling about her holiday experience with her opa and oma.

"Iel, we're having dinner tomorrow at your house, okay? I've been your wife but I've never been to your parents' house."

Gabriel shakes. "No way, Eil."

"Why?"

"Mom and Dad went abroad this morning. Joselin and Stevany also joined because they happened to be on a school holiday."

"Also with your brother?"

"Brother brother?"

"You're going to say that on our wedding day you're going to introduce your brother to me. Why isn't he coming?"

"He didn't come. Still too busy with his S3 studies."

Eilaria seemed disappointed but she immediately smiled considering all the problems that while Iel was natural.

"Darling, I had to leave you for the meeting room. The meeting will probably take a long time. You just go home, right?" said Iel.

"Can't I wait here? I'm tired of being alone in the apartment."

"alright. If that's what you want."

Eilaria smiled happily. "I'd rather wait here than in the apartment. Don't worry about me. If I'm hungry, thirsty or sleepy, I'll do it myself. I already know the secret room here."

Gabriel hugged Eilaria, gave her a sweet kiss on her forehead and then picked up some maps on the table. Before he opened the door, he turned his head once more towards Eil. "If you need anything. Just tell Vera."

"Didn't Vera have a meeting?"

"No. Because I'm meeting with my lawyers." Gabriel said then immediately went out and closed the door behind him.

Eilaria cleaned the cutlery they were wearing and put it back in the cloth bag underneath. As he tidied up some of Iel's workbench, he found a photograph. A photo of two boys whose faces are so similar that they are difficult to distinguish. Who is this photo?
