Edward complained of disappointment, but once he replied to Alena's chat gently.
"It's fine Alena ... it's okay," Edward answered the chat from Alena with a slightly hurt heart.
Even though he already knew that Alena would not come, Edward was still reluctant to leave his desk. Instead, he lit the second cigarette again and started smoking it again. He took half of the coffee back. He closed his green eyes and when he opened them he was surprised because Elsa was standing in front of him. Edward smiled as he adjusted his seat.
"Elsa sit down ..." Edward asked Elsa to sit down even though he really wanted to be alone.
"Are you waiting for someone? Waiting for Alena, that woman?" Asked Elsa while sitting in front of Edward. The waiter immediately approached Elsa to ask if Elsa would order something. Then Elsa ordered a glass of orange juice with light pastries. Elsa stared deeply at Edward.
She had known Edward for a long time. Edward does not smoke carelessly. He only smokes when he is looking for inspiration or is upset. The one stared at did not say anything. He was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
"Edward..there is something I'm going to talk to you about," Elsa said.
"Talk .." Edward was still smoking his cigarette which was getting shorter.
"It's about Alena." Elsa's voice was so cold.
Edward, who was about to smoke his cigarette again, stopped his hand. He then looked at Elsa and said, "What do you know about her? Don't you now know that I love Alena? "
"Yes I already know, only do you know who she loves?" Elsa spoke while holding feelings.
Edward's eyes widened. "Who ?? You don't talk nonsense!" Edward's voice sounded exasperated. He even put out his cigarette and gave all his attention to Elsa.
"He loves Nizam"
"Don't talk your carelessly," Edward said in a high voice
"I found out from my friend who accidentally saw her approaching Nizam in the cafeteria."
"Approaching is not necessarily loving." Edward seemed indifferent.
"Yes, I know that. That's why I don't really believe it, but when I heard it myself she talked to her friend Cynthia that she would stop loving her because Nizam didn't care about her." At this point, Elsa was silent waiting for Edward's reaction.
Edward was stunned at Elsa's words. He still didn't believe Elsa's words but his common sense was working fine. Alena didn't love him. But if he loved Nizam really hard to believe.
"Do you realize that you are Edward if He might just be playing with you? Why love someone who loves someone else" Elsa said as if to herself. Isn't she not much different from Edward. Loving someone who is in love with someone else.
"No Elsa, I know Nizam doesn't love Alena, even if he does love Alena. I don't mind if I have to compete with him. After all, didn't you say that he would stop loving Nizam?" Edward's voice sounded optimistic.
"Why are you so stubborn, why do you have to love someone who clearly loves other people. Edward is an Indonesian who has a different religion and culture from us. Do you think your parents who are officials will bless you? You will only make your life miserable. alone. "
Edward listened to Elsa's words. He also thought about the truth of his words. But love is not a name if it always fulfills common sense.
"I love her, Elsa, really love her. If you know what I feel, how much I tormented by this feeling. I also do not understand why this can happen. In my whole life, I have never felt such great love. Don't you also know that I am not the type to fall in love easily? " Edward's voice sounded heartbreaking in Elsa's ears and made Elsa's feelings turn to pity for the man she loved.
Her irritation immediately faded, but there was an explosion of great hatred towards Alena. Elsa thinks that Edward is suffering because of Alena. Elsa also thinks that if Alena weren't there then she would be Edward's lover. Elsa thinks all her problems are Alena's fault. And Elsa must get rid of Alena from Edward's side. Either way, Elsa doesn't care. For her, Edward's love was more important than anything.
Elsa doesn't want to give in to Alena, especially since Alena is just a foreign girl studying in America. Elsa won't give up on Edward's love. Edward has been with her since they were teenagers and she will not hand Edward over to anyone, especially strangers
