"Don't hit him again."
Brian turned and looked at Elena's face, who was now crying. Elena let go of Brian's hand and walked over to Diego who was still coughing with pain in his stomach. Elena came closer and looked down at him. Her potbelly made it difficult for her to squat and only ducked her head towards Diego.
"Darling, are you okay?" Elena asked worriedly. Elena's words successfully surprised the two men. The two of them immediately looked at Elena sharply.
"Elena?" muttered Diego in disbelief. He did recognize Elena but the fact that the girl was his fiancé, was shocking. Because his Elena is now pregnant.
Elena nodded languidly and lowered her head. Tears have been flowing since earlier.
Diego's hand reached out to touch Elena's chin. Tilted Elena's face up so Diego could see her.
"So, it is you?" asked Diego again. The man was still hard to believe. Elena nodded weakly and looked Diego in the eyes. Their eyes are tied together. Eyes of regret met eyes of disappointment.
When Elena's eyes saw the blood at the corner of Diego's lips from Brian's punch, the woman panicked.
"Gosh! Darling, your lip is hurt." Elena's hands reached over Diego's face with worried eyes.
Brian had been quietly staring at the two of them. His brain thought quickly to understand the current situation. He stared at the stranger man. Who is that man? Elena recognized him and called him 'darling'. Could he be a man named Diego? Elena's adoptive brother and fiancé. Brian's eyes scanned Diego. His heartfelt hot and displeased when Elena touched Diego's face. It got hotter when he realized the woman's worried eyes on Diego.
"We have to go to the hospital. I'm afraid Brian's beating will make your recently healed wound open again," said Elena, who was still panic-stricken.
"You lied to me?" Diego seemed not to care about what Elena said. He didn't even feel the pain he was experiencing right now.
"We'd better treat the wound first," said Brian. The man suppressed his jealousy and sadness.
Realizing his mistake that had hit Diego, the man who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Now they are in the top garden of the hotel, a place where visitors can relax. Elena and Diego sat on the long chair that was there. Meanwhile Brian was standing quite far from where they were. He gave them time to talk after he had previously found medicine to treat Diego.
Elena didn't dare look at Diego's eyes again. She only focused on treating Diego, treating the corner of the man's lip which was injured and bleeding. Meanwhile, Diego, the man's eyes never left Elena's face. He missed Elena so much. It had been months since he had looked at her up close like this in months.
Brian, who had been watching the two of them, felt hot and stifling. His heart was not calm to see Diego's eyes that were so intense at Elena. I think Brian wanted to stick out the man's eyes so he couldn't see Elena anymore. His irritation grew when his secretary called to ask his whereabouts. The man forgot that he was still at the party. And as the owner and president director of a company that is holding an event, of course he must be present to give a speech. Reluctantly and with a heavy heart, he turned to leave Elena and Diego.
Now Elena has finished treating Diego. She was nervous and her heart was racing. Confused to say how this all happened. She didn't know where to tell everything. And the thing that Elena is most afraid of is Diego who will leave her.
Diego's silence added to Elena's nervousness. The man stared at Elena continuously. Makes cold sweat appear on Elena's back.
"So you didn't go out of town for classes, but instead hid from me because you were pregnant?" Diego's calm yet firm voice demanded Elena's honesty.
"I'm sorry, darling," Elena squeaked softly.
"You lied to me Elena?" said Diego in disbelief. Elena was just silent and did not deny it, it made Diego's fire of anger even bigger.
"Why? Why did you lie to me, Elena ?!" Diego's tone began to rise. Elena lowered her head and wrinkled her neck.
"Not only lying, but you also betrayed me. You're even pregnant right now. Was that man the father of your unborn child? Why did you betray me, Elena? You said you loved me and wanted to live with me forever. But why did you do this?" Diego roughly grabbed Elena's shoulders forcing the woman to face him.
"Why did you betray me, Elena? Why ?!" shouted Diego loudly with anger. All feelings mixed in him. Disappointment, hurt, pain and anger bombarded him so badly. Until Diego couldn't control it and screamed angrily in front of Elena.
Diego's screams made Elena unable to hold back her tears. She sobbed with tears. This was the first time Diego angry this big. In all their years together, Diego had never yelled or yelled at her like this.
Diego glared at Elena. Seeing the woman he loved the most sobbing, he softened the flames of his anger a little. And slowly the look in his eyes turned full of sadness and despair.
"Did you betray me because that man was more everything than me? Or did you betray me because you thought I would be crippled forever?" softly Diego helplessly.
Instantly Elena looked up. "No darling, no." Elena shook her head repeatedly.
"I did not betray you," protested Elena disapprovingly of Diego's words. The tears continued to flow freely.
"If you didn't betray me, then what is this ?! You are pregnant Elena, pregnant with another man!" A look of frustration flashed through Diego's eyes.
"I didn't betray you, darling. That man ... Elise's husband," said Elena between sobs.
"What?!"
And slowly Elena told everything. Everything from the beginning she met Elise to date. Elena only told her the most important part.
After saying all that, Elena fell silent. Diego also fell silent without saying a word. Everything Elena said surprised him. Elena, the woman he loved so much, sacrificed so much for him. Elena, the woman he has been looking after for a long time, is now 'owned' by someone else. Her Elena is currently pregnant with another boy. Something that Diego wanted. He is eager to get married and make Elena the mother of his children. But, currently Elena is pregnant with another boy's child.
Diego understood Elena's predicament and distress while he was in a coma. But it's too hard to accept the fact that Elena has been touched by another man. Even she is pregnant with that man.
"I'm sorry, darling. I didn't know what to do at that time. All I thought about was getting money as soon as possible to pay for your surgery. I know this decision disappointed you, but I have no other choice. I'm sorry." Elena's tears are still flowing but not as hard as before. She saw a silent Diego staring in the distance. Waiting for the man's response and answer.
"This is disappointing me. I ... I'd rather die than see you like this," Diego whispered full of deep sorrow. His shoulders slacked languidly. As if half of his life was wasted. He has been looking after Elena for decades, and because of him, Elena sacrificed herself. And Diego has a very hard time accepting all of this.
"Darling!" Elena protested staring at Diego who didn't want to look at her at all. Elena's tears continued to drip like a broken water tap and couldn't stop pouring water.
"I'd rather die, Elena. I can't bear to see you pregnant with another man's child. I can't bear to imagine the sacrifice you made. I can't bear to imagine you being touched by another man. It was torturous and made me think it was better to die than you did all this. " Sadness and disappointment radiated clearly in Diego's eyes. And the man still didn't look at Elena.
"The woman I loved and loved, the woman I guarded for years, surrendered herself for money to pay for my operations and medical care. I am like a weak, useless, helpless man who puts you through all these hardships. I am like a loser pushing you into the abyss. misery. "
A tear rolled down Diego's cheek. It's indescribable how Diego felt right now. His heart was churning with all kinds of feelings. There was a side in his heart that was angry with everything Elena was doing. Angry at the woman for simply giving herself up to someone else. Give up Elena's virginity that Diego has guarded for years. And angry with himself for making Elena do all this. Anger made him very sad and disappointed. Diego doesn't know what to do at this time. All of this was too difficult for him to handle. Until the tears flowed without him being able to endure. The first tears in his life. This is the first time Diego has cried, even when his parents died, the man did not shed a single tear.
