A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 30

Hearing Bella's words, Bella's father became trembling and broke into cold sweat.

"Is it true that you said it was Bella?" ask Bella's father. Still not entirely sure.

"Of course, I'm right, you can ask Eric yourself" Bella replied. Soon the girl looked at Eric with a friendly look.

"Oh that problem, it's not discussed anymore, I've forgotten it." Eric looked at Bella's father as he berka." Then we say yes uncle, "welcome Eric who tries to avoid and cover up the reality.

Eric doesn't want to make the atmosphere tense, Eric then pulls Bella's hand and issabel. Issabel himself from the beginning could only watch this incident so in disbelief, how could a poor young man like Eric instantly become handsome and have a lot of money, he said,

Bella's father was surprised to hear that it was Eric who he fired working.

"Eric, sorry Uncle that time, I didn't accidentally because I didn't want Bella to be close to a poor child. But I really wrongly thought you used to. "Bella's father added. Bella's father looks shy, but like expecting something.

Hearing that Eric just smiled and laughed a little.

"Oh, forget about it Uncle, I didn't think too much about it either." Eric looked at Bella's father and said goodbye." Then until we meet, we'll go first" Bella said firmly.

After Eric left all the family Bella's father immediately cheered happily. The leader of the family himself is Bella's father who is referred to as the patriarch.

"Hey sir patriarch, how can Bella get a boyfriend as rich as a young man, I hope Bella married the young man and maybe our family will become a big and powerful family?" ask one of the family.

"Oh, I also don't know where Bella can date that young man, but I'll make sure Bella has to marry that young man any way, because I like that young man, too, she's very kind," Bella's father said.

Then all the Bella family cheered and feasted on the return of their company.

Back to Eric, Bella and Issabel. They were walking towards Leonard Lee's restaurant, which is the largest in Leonard City.

When they got there, they sat down and chatted.

"Eric, I'm so grateful to you for helping out with my family's crisis, I didn't expect you to do that, but where did you get that kind of money?" bella asked curiously.

"Hhhhh, it's my duty as your friend, and just now why did you call me your girlfriend? You know how nervous I was in that position" Erick said. With a feeling of not understanding. He felt it was all so funny and ridiculous.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I was forced because I wanted to see the family a little happy when they were all too sad, please forgive me Eric," Bella replied by covering up the nervousness.

After a long chat Eric gets straight to the point of telling Bella about Eric's departure to Japan.

"Bella do you know why me and Issabel are taking you out to eat together?" Erick replied calmly.

"Oh no, what is the purpose of the two of you asking me, and where did you two start to get to know each other?" ask Bella curious.

"So my purpose in inviting you two to eat together is to say goodbye." Erick instantly opened the topic entering its core.

Hearing that Bella immediately glared at Eric.

"What did you say Eric, farewell?" ask Bella. The girl was really not expecting what Erick wanted to do.

"So this way, I plan to go to college in Japan while looking for Lyra's whereabouts" Erick said. Resolutely.

Hearing that Issabel and Bella are surprised because they do not know the purpose of Eric moving to Japan.

Am I not wrong with Eric?" You're leaving us for Japan?" ask issabel.

Bella, who heard Eric's words, began to cry and ran away, leaving them out of the restaurant.

Upon arrival at the house all the Bella family was surprised to see the arrival of Bella who suddenly cried. Bella ran and hugged her father while crying.

"Bella what happened to you.

'Dad, he.. She..," welcome Bella. Staggered.

"He why? What did Eric do to you ?" ask Bella's father. Staring intently at her daughter.

"Eric wants to move to college to his father's Japan" Bella said. With such a deep hurt.

"God?! Really, what you're saying is Bella?" ask Bella's father. The man really did not expect.

Then Eric arrives at Bella's house with Issabel.

"Eric, is it true that you're leaving Bella for college in Japan?" soon Bella's father said directly in front of Erick to ask for clarity.

Bella kept crying as it happened.

"Dad.. Eric wasn't my girlfriend he was just my friend, I was pretending to all of you" Bella explained. With a heavy heart the girl revealed reality.

Hearing that Bella's father and the rest of the family were shocked.

"Eric also wanted to go to Japan to catch up with Lyra and look for her" Bella said. With a soft tone of speech. His own indisputable look.

Hearing Bella's statement clearly everyone knows that Bella is very hurt and jealous of Eric chasing Lyra to Japan.

"Bella listen to me first. I went to Japan not only looking for Lyra. But also looking for the whereabouts of the brown family that your father meant" Erick replied. The man boldly told Bella the truth

Hearing that Bella slightly stopped crying.

"I will also return to this city, for in this city I grew up. I went to Japan to find out if the brown family existed. Don't worry, Bella, we'll definitely meet again later" Erick continued. She assured Bella.

Hearing what Eric said Bella finally calmed down a bit. Bella is already deeply in love with Eric, and Bella is also extremely jealous when Eric says she is going after Lyra to Japan.

Eric at the moment really wants to get Lyra in his heart. There was no longer any purpose to his life like successfully owning a business or so, it was all not in Eric's mind at the moment. That's because Eric already has a lot of money, just how he manages it.

So it wouldn't hurt if he chased after Lyra even if it was time consuming. Because, Eric really has feelings that cannot be explained by the figure of Lyra even though he never had a relationship like a girlfriend with Lyra.

Bella besides doesn't want to see eric leave either. I don't know why bella has such a strong interest in eric lately. For years he was with eric, but it was only recently that bella felt a strange feeling towards eric.

Bella sobbed in tears as she said staring at Eric." I'll wait for you to come home, Eric, I'll wait for your arrival in Leonard's town again. Don't forget our memories! "

Eric slowly nodded lightly while smiling gently." Of course Bella, how could I possibly forget my homeland as well!"

Hearing that, Bella quickly hugged eric for the last time. Bella hugged eric's body while sobbing sadly. I don't know why Bella just felt that eric figure meant something. Maybe if Bella had felt this way in the past, eric would have been her boyfriend.

Bella's father, who saw his daughter grieving, quickly said." has Bella, eric already said he'll be back, so why are you sad like that? Let's go as usual." Bella's father looked at eric as he said." When you arrive in Japan, take good care of yourself, Eric."

Eric nodded lightly as he said." Of course uncle, don't forget also uncle maintain health." eric then looked at Bella with a smile." You too, Bella, take care of your health here."

Eric really felt Bella like his sister. This is because, the figure of Bella is always the foremost to help eric when being bullied from since sitting in the High School.

Eric couldn't repay Bella's kindness at all. Maybe by helping the bankruptcy of Bella's father's company it makes eric a little feel back Bella's kindness to him.
