Chapter 108 - 108. Diego's Caring

Jonathan is the only person Elise is close to. Even when Elise left the orphanage. Jonathan also went with her. According to Shinta, they are both very close. Even before that Shita thought they both were getting married. But it turned out that Elise was much luckier. Elise is married to Brian, a president and owner of a large company.

Aiden's finger began to rub the name. Now he must investigate Jonathan. From Shinta's information, the middle-aged woman had not heard from the man for a long time. The news, she had heard last time about that man was objections about him leaving and living together with Elise.

So, Aiden did not get any further information about Jonathan. But luckily Shinta has information on where Jonathan and Elise used to live. And he had to go there for information. Elise left the orphanage when she was seventeen years old. That means ten years ago. He hoped that he could still get information from people around Elise's former residence.

Aiden went and continued his investigation.

. . . . .

Diego is sitting in front of the bakery where Elena works. Half an hour ago he had just finished work. And as usual after Diego came home from work, he would walk to the bakery where Elena worked and wait for the woman.

Diego stared at the highway in front of him. Many cars and other vehicles drove by. And also some workers who walk on the sidewalk. Right now it's time to come home from work, so the streets are so busy.

Diego glanced inside the shop through the glass behind him. He saw Elena who was smiling kindly at a customer. Seeing Elena's smile made Diego speechless. He was happy that finally Elena was able to get excited again and not dissolve in sadness anymore. Diego is also very grateful that Yanti is willing to help Elena to provide information about Dean to Elena.

After escorting the customer away with a friendly smile, Elena turned to the large glass window in front of her. Her eyes met Diego's. Elena's wide smile developed so fast. Elena doesn't know since when Diego was waiting there. Because since earlier the shop customers were quite busy. Whether it's direct buyers, or online ordering.

'Wait a little longer.' Elena muttered that sentence giving the information that she will soon be finished work. Diego nodded and turned around. Facing the road again. On the other side of the sidewalk, Diego saw a young mother holding her baby. She walked with occasional smiles toward the baby in her arms. With a young man who embraces the woman's shoulder. A happy little family sight.

Diego imagined that the woman would be Elena, Dean and himself. His bright and happy smile was clearly etched on his face. How happy it would be if it wasn't a shadow or a dream, but a reality.

If Diego had not been involved in the corruption case that caused him to end up in an accident, maybe the scene of the little family would really have come true. He is married to Elena and has a son with her. And Elena will not experience all the suffering, sadness and hurt she has endured.

Suddenly Diego remembered the scene in Dean's ward. When Elena was holding the tiny baby. Elena looks very beautiful with loving motherly eyes. Like an angel who smiles beautifully and brightly. Remembering that Diego smiled a little wider. He remembers today is the time, and he can surprise Elena tonight. Before that Diego wanted to give Elena another happiness. It so happened that today Diego got his first salary at the restaurant. And he plans to take Elena to an amusement park.

"Darling." The call made Diego turn his head. Elena has been standing beside Diego with a sling bag on her shoulder. The woman has finished work.

"Come on," Diego rise to his feet. His hand gripped Elena's left hand. They both walk towards the bus stop. Their place of residence is quite far from here. They had to take the bus for about twenty minutes. Since it is currently home from work and this area is home to several offices, restaurants, shophouses and other shops, there are already many people waiting at the bus stop.

Elena and Diego stood waiting for the bus to arrive. Luckily, they waited for the bus to finally arrive. However, the bus also had a lot of passengers and there were only a few empty seats.

Seeing the bus coming and there were only a few empty seats, the people who were waiting immediately rose to their feet and were ready to enter and grab the empty seats. Because it is much more comfortable to sit than to stand on the bus.

Diego also hopes to get the empty seat for Elena. So he and Elena also got closer. And the crowd gathered and waited for the bus to stop. When the bus stops and opens the door, everyone jostles to get inside first. Diego and Elena are one of them. Diego led Elena to get in front of him, protecting her from the throngs of people behaving in the bar behind him.

Not long after, the two of them were already on the bus, but they were late and did not find an empty seat. All seats have been filled by other passengers. Seeing this, Diego pulled Elena to walk to the back side of the bus. And made the woman stand beside bench number two from behind. According to Diego, this place will not be too crowded compared to standing at the front.

Diego stood by Elena's side and grabbed the handle hanging from the roof of the bus. Protect Elena from other passengers. Many things happen when the bus is full like this. Such as pickpockets steal other passengers' wallets secretly or sexual harassment of female passengers by perverted men. For that Diego always protects Elena. This way, Elena is much more comfortable even if she has to stand up while the bus is running.
