"You must be very lucky to be his wife. To have a handsome, well-established, and perfect husband like him," she gushed.

Drrrttt!

Ellea's reverie was broken when the cell phone in her hand vibrated. A call was waiting for her there.

"Agatha! Why are you calling at this time of night? It's just annoying," she grumbled a little annoyed with her lips in a ponytail.

Ellea swiped at her phone screen. "What the hell! Just disturb people who are hammering!" she sprayed without preamble.

Agatha was Ellea's best friend. The eighteen-year-old girl also had the same profession as her. Becoming a comfort woman for masculine men who were thirsty for caresses. The reason for plunging into this world of darkness is also not much different from Ellea. The economic pressure factor that made her dark eyes. There is a younger sibling whom she must provide for. Meanwhile, his parents had died in an accident.

"How rude, Non! What are you doing? Is it really important?" Agatha whispered at the end of the street.

"What's wrong?"

"Hehe, I asked you a favor first, Ell. You transfer one million to Rose account. I forgot that she has to pay tuition tomorrow. I don't have that much money. I haven't given it to Alex yet," Agatha pleaded. 

"Yes, yes! I'll transfer it later!"

"Thank you very much, baby. You're such a reliable friend. Hehe. Bye Ellea, the girl who most beautifull in the world, hehehe."

"Heeemmmm," Ellea said simply.

Without waiting for long, Ellea immediately switched to the mobile banking app and immediately transferred the money to Rose.

Ethan was still awake in his room. He still ignored the calls and messages from his wife. It seemed like he did not intend to respond. I don't know what made the man's heart petrified, like he didn't care about his wife's condition.

"There's something different about that girl. Her smile, the look in her eyes, the way she talks, catches my attention." he muttered as he imagined Ellea's face.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang again. The image of Ellea's face disappeared instantly. Ethan looked at the phone screen to see who was calling him.

Ethan exclaimed. Without thinking, he picked it up immediately.

"Hello?"

"Sorry, sir. Rayya has a high fever. She had a seizure earlier but has been taken to the hospital by Madam." Said someone on the other side. She was Bella, his nanny.

Ethan closed his eyes. He half regretted his negligence. If he had known his daughter was in a disaster, maybe he would have immediately decided to return home.

At eight in the morning, Ellea's plane landed safely at an airport. Ellea immediately ordered an online taxi to her house. The girl couldn't wait to meet her grandmother, whom she had left behind for two days out of town.

With twenty-five minutes to go, a car pulled up right at her doorstep. A girl was seen opening the car door. Dressed in the style of a career woman, a white shirt and a modest black skirt, she stepped out of the car carrying a medium-sized bag.

"Morning." 

Greetinh Ellea as she crossed the one-meter high iron fence in front of her house. Her grandmother, was seen watering her favorite ornamental plants.

"Owh baby. Finally grandma's grandchildren are home too." She greeted with a big smile.

Ellea kissed the back of her grandmother's hand reverently. Then she hugged her tightly.

"Are you OK? Nothing happened while I was gone, right?" she asked Ellea to make sure. Then she released the hug.

Carla smiled again. "No, baby. I'm fine. I've been feeling better lately. My body feels good too, it feels light. You can see that I'm more refreshed." She said and led her grandson into the house.

"How is your work, baby? Is it going well?"

"Emmm, it's going well. There was just a little incident last night. But it's all sorted out, Grandma. It's safe! But I'm sorry. I didn't have time to buy any souvenirs for you. I was so tired last night that I went straight to bed. I also had to go straight to the airport in the morning, hehe." Ellea explained with her bulshit story.

Thay sat on a long chair in the living room.

"I didn't even think to ask for souvenirs. You came home fine and I'm already grateful."

Ellea, who had always been spoiled by her grandmother, leaned her head on her grandmother's shoulder.

"You must not have had breakfast, right? I cooked your favorite tamarind vegetables, chili paste, and fried salted fish."

Ellea raised her head, looking at Carla with sparkling eyes. "Oh yeah?

Hemmm! It must be really good. But I'll go to my room first. I want to put some things away first."

"Yes, there. I'll prepare the food first."

"Ready, Grandma!"

Ellea got up and headed to her room. Carla went towards the kitchen.

***

Ellea still thinking of Ethan.  One thing was for sure, the image of Ethan's face kept creeping into her mind.

"Ethan! He already have a wife," she muttered regretfully.

Ellea smiled. Then she threw away all her thoughts about Ethan. She came out of her room and approached her grandmother who was already at the dining table waiting for her to arrive.

"Waahh, you cook a lot huh? Hemmm, from the smell, it smells delicious!" she said while pulling out a dining table chair.

"I deliberately cooked a lot. So that you can eat a lot too, honey."

They continued to enjoy the food.

"Honey, starting this month, I don't need to see a doctor, right? I feel better already. Just take good care of her."

Carla's words made Ellea stop what she was doing. She looked at her grandmother quizzically.

"What do you mean, why don't you want to seek medical treatment? You don't want me to take care of you anymore?" Ellea raised her voice.

Carla looked at her granddaughter with a slight smile. "That's not it, baby. I feel that my body is already very healthy, so there's no need for us to control her anymore. Let's see, I can cook, I can clean too." She got up, showing her fitness. "Look, I'm really healthy." She smiled at her granddaughter.

Ellea sighed heavily. "Are you sure you're healthy?"
