The Tough Trio And Elena
Chapter 55 Unexpected Things at KL (2)

The clock was already showing at five in the afternoon when Arya woke up somewhat jolted. He immediately took a shower and prayed.

After he finished, he immediately went to Elena's room located next to his room.

Arya had already knocked a few times but there was no answer. Then he went back to his room to pick up his phone and called Elena. Elena's phone just picked up on the fourth ring.

"Hello, sis"

"Elena, where are you?" Ask Arya without further ado.

"At the cafe downstairs at the hotel"

"I'm going there now? Can you?"

"Yes can"

Elena's response was somewhat doubtful. She has been awkward with Arya since Arya kissed her this morning. Arya rushed downstairs to meet Elena.

After arriving at the cafe mentioned by Elena, Arya looks for Elena who turns out to see Arya first and waves her hand to tell her whereabouts. Arya rushed over to Elena and sat down opposite her.

"Sorry, I fell asleep. I was surprised to be asleep that long. Fortunately, the meeting was held tomorrow morning" said Arya.

"I also fell asleep. The difference is, I woke up at 3, then I went around the hotel and ended up here. I like to try the cake in new places. Usually almost every week I like to go on a culinary tour with Celine" Elena talks more than usual to avoid her nervousness without her knowing that Arya is also nervous like Elena.

"Elena, i... "

"Don't you want to order something first?" Elena immediately cut Arya's words because she wanted to buy time and to cover up her nervousness.

"All right, I order first" Then Arya called the waiter and ordered black coffee and cake for herself. After the cafe waitress left them, Arya continued her conversation.

"Elena, please forgive me for what I did. I really didn't know you were suffering from aerophobia. Dimas has never talked to me about it. I kissed you spontaneously and wanted to help you shift your fear, but I knew I was wrong"

"So Arya didn't know?"

"No, I don't know. Did you daydream during a meeting the other day because you were thinking about aero phobia?"

"Yes my brother"

"I'm really sorry, Elena. I promise I won't do it again. Will you forgive me?"

Elena simply replied with a nod of her head.

"Can we be friends like before?" Arya said as she extended her hand to shake hands with Elena. After hesitating for a moment, Elena then welcomed Arya's helping hand.

"Elena, I know somewhere nice to have dinner tonight. You want to come with me tonight?"

"Yes, I'm here because I was the first time myself"

"Yes Lena, later after several trips, you will also know and memorize some places like me, Dimas, or Steven"

In the evening, Arya invites Elena to dinner together at the place that Arya promised. At dinner they talked like nothing had happened before. Though in Elena's heart felt her heart pounding incoherently. 'But he looks ordinary. Am I overreacting?' think Elena.

**

The next day, they held a meeting with another company according to a promise made earlier. The meeting went well, although again Arya had to learn it suddenly because the one who should go to Malaysia is Dimas.

It was late afternoon when the meeting was over. But unfortunately Elena and Arya have not been able to return to the hotel to rest, because Loekito Corp also participated in the exhibition at an event, which was also held, so they must go there first to monitor and help the representative staff to answer questions if needed.

The exhibition lasted until night, but after feeling the staff could handle the exhibition, then about 6 pm Elena and Arya returned to the hotel to rest.

"Aahs... I'm so tired! I could have slept for two days so tired!" Said Arya while massaging her own body. Elena who saw him just smiled. He also felt very tired. Looks like a warm bath in a nice bathtub, Elena thought.

"Ah yes, but we have to have dinner first before going to bed. Where do you want to eat, Elena?"

"Let's see, I can't seem to eat out. Maybe we'll eat in the room"

"That's yeah? Then I follow you. In your room or my room so we can eat together?"

Elena doesn't know what to answer. He felt awkward because eating together in the room sounded like a romantic idea as if they were a couple. Arya seemed to understand Elena's thoughts.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna fuck around, I promise. How about in your room? Later if there's anything or I suddenly khilaf, you can just kick me out"

Elena who heard Arya's ridiculous proposal laughed out loud.

"Yes, then I agree" Elena said with a grin.

After finishing the bath, Elena and Arya ended up having dinner in Elena's room. While eating, they talked lightly. After dinner, Arya returns to her room to rest because she is really tired.

**

"Hi Elena's... Do you feel good?"

"Lumayan, brother. But it looks like sleeping at home is still better and more freely compared here"

"Yes certainly. Now we go down yuk for breakfast!"

"Sir, I happen to be hungry"

They then went downstairs to breakfast. After finishing breakfast, Arya looked at her watch.

"Our flight's still a long time, Elena. There is still time for a walk. We're going to lobby yuk, I'm going to rent a car to reception."

After waiting for some time, finally the rental car that was waiting came too.

"Sir Arya's the one who brought the car? I guess Arya's brother also hired the driver's services. Not tired, brother?'

"Religious. After a good night's sleep, I feel good now. You how? Still tired, huh?"

"Ga is too much, brother. So where are we going now?' ask Elena

"You will also know" said Arya while smiling full of mystery.

After driving quite a distance, they finally arrived at a burial complex. Elena of course got confused, why Arya brought her here. Then they walked to a well-kept tomb. On the tomb is inscribed the name Aisyah bint Mahmood. Elena was astonished to see it. 'Who is he? Are they still relatives of Arya?' then Arya said something to Elena.

"Elena, meet Aisyah, my late wife"

"A... Whahuh? Arya's sister was married?"

"Yes. Four years ago when I was 26 years old, I met Aisyah while climbing a mountain with my friends in a nature-loving community. I went with him back here, leaving my friends until Dimas and Steven looked for me. Dimas even thought that I was brought by a subtle creature and lived in the kingdom of jinn in the forest on the mountain" Arya smiled when remembering that time.

"Then I married Aisyah without my parents' knowledge. It sounds so bad at that time. Then after being married for a year, Aisyah fell ill, until she died a year later and I finally returned to Indonesia."

Elena was still trying to digest Arya's words because she was still shocked to hear them. It's only fitting that while he's always nice and polite, Arya does look cold with women. Much different than Dimas.

"Has koh Steven and mas Dimas ever been here, brother?" Ask Elena.

"of course. After I told them, I immediately brought them here"

"So you haven't been working with Dimas for too long?"

"Yes, it's only been about two years" Arya then looked at her watch.

"Elena, I think we should go back to the hotel to get ready to go home. Yuk!"

"Yes sister" After praying at Aisyah's grave, Elena and Arya get into the car to return to the hotel. Along the way, Elena and Arya were more silent. But Elena finally asked Arya.

"Do you still love her, brother?" Arya who was shocked to hear Elena's question suddenly brake her car suddenly. Fortunately, the road was deserted at the time.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to surprise you with my question."

"It's okay, Elena. I can only say, if I ever loved her, that's all" Arya said. Elena saw Arya holding the steering wheel firmly. 'Was there anything that was missed by me? Or is there something he didn't tell me?' elena thought curious. But he did not want to ask any further given Arya's reaction just now.

Arya then starts the car engine and continues on her way. They remained silent until they finally arrived at the hotel, then prepared to go to the airport.

As Arya promised, before take off Arya did not kiss Elena like the time to leave.

"Elena, what does Dimas usually do to overcome your aerophobia?"

"mmm... Dimas usually brings a lot of snacks, but I only eat candy"

"That's yeah? You want me to call a flight attendant to help you?"

"Ga need, brother. Usually if you're not too panicked anymore Dimas just hold my hand just"

"okay"

Then Arya asks permission to hold Elena's hand and Elena allows it. The way Arya grasped Elena's hand was different from Dimas. He linked his fingers with Elena's. He also cupped the other hand, so Elena's hand was cold because it was held with both hands Arya large.

Once in a sense of security and Elena was not seen tense, Arya then released her hand grip with a rather heavy heart. Elena was confused to see him.

Around 3 pm Elena and Arya finally arrived at Soekarno Hatta airport. Before arriving at the airport, Arya contacted Jaka, the driver of his family, so that he was picked up to the airport.
