Jealous

It's been almost a week when Laras is acting weird. Ella is very suspicious of her mother's behavior.

After she pressed, Ella finally found out what made her mother annoyed, and always avoided her.

"No Ella! And listen to me! I don't want you ..." Laras did not continue her words. Cause her eyes stared at all corners of the kitchen, which only contained the two of them.

"I don't want you to be Edward Huxley's plaything. Trust with your mother said because I know which guy is good for you. What about Ron? He's a cute, a polite man," said Laras again.

"Mom ... we're just friends. And Mr. Edward? He's a good guy ..."

"Gosh Ella ... Ella Amber ...! after what he did to you all this time? And now you're blind only because of a moment's love?!" Laras cut off her daughter's words and stared fiercely.

"Remember who we are, and WHO HE IS ..! I don't want to argue anymore. I'm already very annoyed with your behavior."

"And remember! Today is your schedule to meet Doctor Alfred."

"You have to go alone because I still have a lot of work to do."

Laras who was annoyed had left Ella alone in the kitchen room.

Ella was getting ready, she had ordered a taxi to take her to the hospital. Since morning she had not met Edward, maybe this was the right time to not meet for a while.

Ella has already told her story to Laras, her mother has been suspicious since her first failed date.

And so it happened, Laras became angry and would never want her daughter to have a relationship with a man like Edward Huxley.

Ella heard her cell phone ring, a short message appeared on her screen. Edward sent her a message, saying that she would drive her to the hospital.

Ella still covered her mouth in the car, and still thought her stupidest decision. Edward Huxley was at her side, staring intently at the road ahead.

"Ella ..?" Called Edward quietly.

"YES??" Ella answered in a strange with a high tone. Edward immediately held back his smile, with his hand.

"What are you thinking?" asked Edward.

"Do you know Mr. Edward? After this, and everyone in your residence will make gossip about us." Ella answered.

"It doesn't matter, because we are dating right?" Said, Edward.

"What? When we started dating, I never felt like you ever asked me to be your girlfriend and ...."

"Didn't you hear, I asked you to be my girlfriend, right?" Said Edward, grinning happily.

"How can it be like that ... Umm ... Mr. Edward, my mother can finish me off!"

"No ... she would have cut me in half if she found out you were driving me to the hospital," Ella said while demonstrating with her right hand, which seemed to be a sharp knife.

Edward laughed at Ella who looked desperate.

"My father, he also disapproves of our relationship. Looks like we're destined, Ella."

Ella patted herself on the forehead, "Really? My suffering is complete now ... Gosh ... Mr. Edward you're going to get us in deep trouble."

"Hey ... call me Edward, from now on you are my girlfriend. And I don't care about my father. If about your mother ... take it easy cause I'm sure I can get her feelings." Edward said as he held Ella's hand with his left.

HOSPITAL.

"Ella, I'll start examining your wound carefully. Just tell me, if you think something hurts." Alfred said holding Ella's left arm.

This time, the gyps attached to Ella's legs and arms were removed, allowing her to move slightly freely.

Ella moved her hand, then she turned around slowly.

"did you feel something pain with your hand?" Alfred asked. While Edward continued to stare at Ella.

"No doctor," Ella replied.

"Okay, then. Now we'll try with your feet." Alfred started to give his hand to Ella, so she could hold her hand to him.

"Hey ... Alfred .. I'll do it," Edward said who immediately took over.

"Ahh ..? your boyfriend is very jealous, Miss Ella." Alfred's said sarcasm.

Edward doesn't seem to care, Ella is just awkward and embarrassed by Edward's excessive behavior.

"Come on, hold my hand and be careful at your footpace." Edward was ready to finish it.

Ella took Edward's hand, she began to move from her seat and stood up cautiously.

Ella was already stepping outside, tightly gripping Edward's hand. Ella slipped a little because she was too nervous about her first move.

But Edward was already hugging her tightly and they were staring at each other closely.

"Are you all right, Ella?" asked Edward.

"Uh ... yeah ... I'm fine," Ella replied awkwardly.

Alfred has to clear his throat to attract the attention of the two of them. When the romance situation between Ella and Edward makes him feel uncomfortable, also with an awkward situation.

"Can we continue the examination? Because there are still a lot of patients waiting. Maybe the two of you can spend some time together after we finish this session." Alfred said.

"Of course," said Ella and Edward together.

After the examination, finally, Ella and Edward left Doctor Alfred's room. Edward still looked eager to grab onto Ella's arm, who knew the girl would fall because of the difficult footsteps.

"Edward ..?" Said Ella who walked in the hallway of the hospital, and Edward was beside her.

"Yes ..?"

"You don't need to hold my hand, I won't fall! It was because I was too nervous when we all in the room with Doctor Alfred. So just let go of your grip!" Ella answered.

"Why? Are you embarrassed by my attention?"

"Come on Edward, why you think that I'm feeling embarrassed? Please don't get me wrong. But ... Ahh ... look at you now! You've been acting weird all day. Looks like you have to check your health too," said Ella a little annoyed.

Simultaneously, Alan Smith and his daughter Abigail were walking in opposite directions. Their steps slowed down together, seeing Edward with Ella.

"Edward?" Said Alan confused, Abigail glanced at Edward's hand and looked annoyed.

"Afternoon, Mr. Smith. Are you on a regular visit here?" Edward said politely.

Alan didn't answer right away, he gave Ella a long look, "Mr. Smith?" Said Edward again.

"Ohh ... sorry ... yes you're right, Edward. Just a routine agenda, me and Abigail take care of some work here." Said Alan briefly.

"Then we'll excuse me, Mr. Smith. We don't want to interfere with your agenda." Edward said as he grabbed Ella's arm, then immediately took her away from the awkward and uncomfortable situation.

Abigail was still silent, but the look in her eyes did not leave Ella's already walk away. It was clear, that Abigail feeling dislikes Ella.

"Dad, isn't she … the maid who works for the Huxley family?" asked Abigail in a fairly loud voice.

Ella and Edward had already walked far away, but Abigail's voice was very clear.

Edward grasped Ella's hand even more. He knew that Ella could hear Abigail's words which would make Ella uncomfortable.
