It was late but Elise still didn't wake up. Since daytime, Brian has always been by her side. He wanted to be by Elise's side when she realized. Because Brian is worried about Elise's situation, he is afraid that when Elise gets out later and not finding Brian beside her, Elise thinks badly and causes her trauma to recur.

Brian remembers how hard it was for him to keep Elise sane six years ago. And how many meetings with psychologists and hypnotists have made Elise forget about her trauma. Because Elise thought a little about the sexual harassment incident, her trauma would come back. Even things that have nothing to do with it can make Elise sink into her trauma again. Like the thought that Brian was leaving her would definitely make her trauma come back.

​​

Brian's hand reached out and stroked Elise's face gently and carefully. He seemed afraid to wake Elise suddenly, something that might shock her and worst of all make her trauma recur.

Brian stared at Elise's pretty face which was still pale now. He was very worried and very, very fond of Elise. But his affection is only limited to feelings like brother and sister affection, not love.

Elise's lashes moved and her eyelids slowly opened. The bright light made Elise blink her eyes so many times that she could adjust her vision according to her surroundings.

Brian's palm still rubbed Elise's cheek. Make the woman turn to him.

"Brian." Elise called out in a very hoarse voice. Brian, who knew Elise's throat was dry, swiftly turned to the side and took the warm water that had been provided on the nightstand. Then give it to Elise.

"Thank you." Elise's voice was much clearer now.

"What happened?" Elise was confused by her waking situation with Brian sitting waiting beside her. And the look in Brian's eyes, worried too worried, made her wonder what really happened?

"No, nothing." Brian said trying to make Elise divert her mind and forget what happened this afternoon.

But Brian's lazy words made Elise frown even more. And trying to remember what happened before she fell asleep. A memory flashed into her mind. Elise finally remembered that this afternoon, they had a serious conversation with Rena. That middle aged woman already knows everything. And demands Brian to divorce Elise.

The fluctuation that occurred in Elise's eyes let Brian know that she remembered what had happened. Elise is now focusing all her attention on Brian. Her eyes were filled with all kinds of feelings. Elise doesn't know what Brian's decision to do? She passed out before hearing the man's decision. Did Brian agree to Rena's request? Maybe Brian will leave her? Elise knows, Brian really loves and respects Rena. She knows how feel sorry Brian is for making Rena disappointed with his previous decision to marry her. And Brian will probably disappoint Rena for the umpteenth time, because he certainly really loves that middle-aged woman. Between biological mothers and wives, of course the mother's position is much higher. She is the woman who gave birth to him, so surely Brian would prefer to listen to Rena and leave her. Elise wanted to ask Brian, did he agree to divorce her?

"Brian, you .." Elise's words stuck on her lips as Brian's index finger held her lips. Makes the woman speechless at once.

"Don't worry, until whenever I will never divorce you. Didn't I promise I will never leave you. And as a man, I have to keep my promise."

"But, Mommy will definitely not agree and will continue to urge you to divorce me."

"And I will stand firm in my stance. I will never divorce or leave you." Brian gripped Elise's right hand tightly to reassure the woman of her worries and anxious. And slowly Brian gave a kiss on Elise's forehead.

"Don't think too much, I will always be by your side forever. Rest, I will bring food." Once again Brian kissed Elise on the forehead, this time it was quite a while before she got up and turned to go to bring Elise dinner.

Elise who was left behind was still staring at the direction where the man had gone. She now remembers what knocked her out lying on the bed. Her fear of Brian divorcing her brings back memories of the past. The times she sank into solitude and loneliness because she felt that there would no longer be someone who could accept and accompany her. However, Brian just said he would never divorce her no matter what Rena would do to force him. And Brian's promise allowed Elise to relax a little. Loosened a tight knot wrapped around her heart. She was still afraid that Brian would divorce her and leave her, but at least not as much as she had this afternoon.

Elise hopes that whatever happens Brian will never divorce and leave her. Because that man is oxygen, light and purpose in Elise's life.
