Alex knew that he was extremely sleepy as he drove his car. He was going to somewhere outside the town because of his job. He was really tired on the way back to the town. Would it be a good idea if he stopped his car beside the road and took a nap? No, he didn't want to do like that. The sun had set and he didn't have enough time. His mom's worried face appeared in his thought. With determination, he sped up his car.

But he was careless for a second, the car was out of his control. Although he turned the steering wheel quickly, he was late. The car met with a huge tree. He could feel the severe pain in head before he gave up his consciousness.

Elina was spending time in her garden when she heard a loud sound. She ran outside to see what was happened. There was a car hitting the tree and the person was unconscious. But he was still alive. Elina got him out of the car with the help of Mark and Zoey, who were living with her.

Elina was a doctor but not professional. She saved him from the life danger.

Alex felt weird. He could tell that he wasn't dead. This thought made him relieved. The last thing he remembered was that the load crashing sound of car with the tree. The headache and the pain from the body really made him terrified.

But he heard someone walking into the room. At the same moment, he could smell the sweet scent of roses. Then he slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" The voice was clear and melodious. After gaining full consciousness, he could see his lifesaver. She was beautiful with long, straight, black hair. She was wearing a dress. She looked like an angel. He could guess she was the same age as him. He could tell that he was not in hospital and she was also not a nurse.

" Where am I right now?" He asked.

"Do you remember the car accident last night?" She asked him without a smile.

"Yes, I do."

"The place where the accident took place was in front of my house. That is why I helped you. Your car was also in the garage but it was really damaged. You also got mild head injury and some bruises. But you're lucky 'cause we saved you as soon as we heard the loud sound."

Alex was speechless and forget to say thank you because he found himself attracted to her voice and her style. She was so beautiful, kind-hearted, innocent and gentle even though her tone was cold.

For Alex, so many girls were after his handsome appearance and his wealth. But he didn't interest in them. However, it was fate that he fell in love at first sight.

"How long I was out?"

" For a day."

" Thank you very much for the help, Miss. You were also busy to call the doctor last night and also took care of me."

She smiled. But he didn't know why she smiled.

Then a boy entered the room with a soup bowl in his hands.

" This is Mark. He will help you whatever you want. Take medicine after having food." She left the room after saying those words.

Alex was still staring at the door. The boy prepared the place where Alex could eat comfortably. The room was clean and well-ventilated. While eating, Alex asked Mark.

"Mark, where is this place?"

"This is 'Nature House' rose garden outside the town. I'll show you around when you're better soon."

" And is she the owner? Where's her parents?"

"Yes, Miss Elina is the owner of rose garden. Her parents didn't live with her. She didn't have any relation. She is alone but very strong."

The image of her mature, confident style appeared in his mind.

Her beautiful, bright eyes reflected her smart behaviour.

And the name was also meaningful and pretty.

Elina.

Next morning, Alex could feel better after he woke up. He was taking a rest the whole yesterday and the silent environment was also the reason he was better. And also the strong feeling ..

He saw the rose garden through the window. The sunshine, beautiful and colourful roses, some workers were pouring the water, some were picking roses up. Those scenes were all new to him. That's right, he was always busy with works.

"Good morning."

No sooner did he hear the sweet voice then he turned around to see Elina was here. His morning was perfect now.

"Good morning, I'm Alex."

Elina nodded her head and said

"I think you should call your house.

What'll you do?"

He thought, I wanted to live beside you if it was possible. But he knew that his mother was very worried for him. He didn't want his mom felt anxiety but he also didn't want his mom take him home as soon as she knew the location.

After Alex had his breakfast, he called his mother, Maria. "Alex, where are you?" He told briefly about the car accident and the location of rose garden.

Maria told him she would come immediately. But "I'll come back when I'm fully recovered, mom. " Alex said.

He wanted to know about the mysterious pretty Elina. She was very attractive, and also she seemed talented. But he was curious why she spent her times with the roses.

"Don't complain, son. I'll take you home."

He sighed. All he knew was that he didn't want to leave this house.

Hours later, Elina told him that his mom was at the gate. Before she walked, Alex said," Elina, can I visit this rose garden sometimes?"

"Yes, but you need to drive more careful. ."

After five mins of walking, they saw Maria was standing, looking the roses. Her two bodyguards and the driver were beside her. Alex saw his mom and greeted. He also introduced Elina to his mom.

"Nice to meet you, Ma'am." Elina said with a smile.

" Nice to meet you and also thanks for the help, Ms. Elina." Maria replied.

Maria and Alex got into the car. Alex waved his hand, and gave her a look which was more meaningful than goodbye. That look reflected "Meet you soon."

He really missed her so much. It took nearly ten days for him to recover. After he was fully recovered, he took a tulip bouquet and some gifts and walked towards his new car.

But Maria stopped him and asked where were he going? He said truly that he wanted to visit Elina to give her gifts. Maria told him to take care on the way.

Before he left, he heard Maria said,

"I can read your mind, son. Don't forget that. Let me remind you,'don't fell in love with her'."

"Nonsense, mom." He replied. But in his mind, he really admired his mom 'cause his mother's words were exactly right. But he was very happy to meet his angel again.

When he met her again, he gave her the flowers and gifts to which she took these with a smile. He gazed at her with affection. She was as clear as crystal, as peaceful as water.

"I like you." He said without a lie.

She was not shy, she was not angry.

She reacted with a steady manner.

Elina said with a smile," I think you're interested in my life because I'm different from those women near you. That's my style. I don't want to be close with other people."

"No, it's not true. I'm interested in you. That's why I also want to know about your life. I knew that it was a short time but I love you. Elina.

You've alredy saved my life, please save my heart, too."

▪ ▪ ▪

It was new to Elina. Was it possible to fall in love in a short time?

She asked him, " What is love?"

His answer was," I can't tell you exactly but the one truth I can say is that I love you, Elina."

Her lips curved perfectly as she smile." That's true. Love can't be explained exactly. People define this unexact feeling as love. To say clearly, I don't believe love." She told him.

He was speechless. He was falling for a girl who didn't believe in love. He knew Elina was single and strong with self-confidence and self-esteem.

"Give me a chance to make you believe the love." He said.

"It's up to you. It's okay as long as you don't bother me."

     He sighed, knowing that it won't be easy to chase her, to make her fall in love with him.

     Alex was busy with his works but he also want to see her. She didn't talk him too much when he called her phone. He could visit her three days once a week. One day, when he met her, je explained to her why he couldn't come and he loved her so much.

    Elina said," Alex, I think you did like this becasue you wanted to get what you want.  It is not love."

     He couldn't say anything. Only he could look at her sadly. Mark, who was his friend now, gave Elina's social account and told him to chat with her everyday.

    Since that day, he sent love letters to Elina everyday. When he missed her, he sent letters to her. When he was with her in the rose garden, he was very happy. He simply enjoyed time with her.

    Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. One day, he received a sentence from her.

It's you who filled my empty heart with your love, Alex.

With love, Elina.

The letter was short but it took him into the beautiful world.

❤

He went to the rose garden when his free time. This time, after he said 'I love you,'

She replied. "I love you, too, Alex."

❤

    Love was sweet. Elina, who didn't believe in love before, love him very much and cared him alot. Alex was her first love. They didn't date in the cafe, or shopping malls. The place where they always date was magical beautiful rose garden.

  He told her everything about his life, his family and his work. Everytime he was stressed from work, he felt his stress gone when he was with her.

One day, he said, "L, I don't understand one thing. Why did you hide about your family? Do you really love me? Please tell me. We will marry in the future right?"

He saw her emotion changed. With sad expression, she said " I didn't believe in love before, also didn't believe in marriage, dear. This was because I was from the broken family. My father was a doctor and my mother was succeasful designer. When I was five years old, my parents divorce. Because the nurse was pregnant with my father's child. He was not a good father to me. After divorce, mom and I went abroad and lived there. Mom was more beautiful than me, but she got betrayal from dad. That was the nightmare from my past. I didn't want to talk about it. But if love is defined as telling about the past..

Elina couldn't say anymore. Alex felt really guilt for his stupid question. He hugged her tightly.

She closed eyes and melted in her lover's warm embrace.

Their love was so sweet in this five months.
