Sitting alone in a luxurious restaurant, Mila glanced at the clockwise direction that was coiled around her wrist. Almost half an hour he waited, but the person who made the promise had not come yet.
Mila simply stared at the delicious dishes available before her without touching a single bit.
"All men are the same. I love breaking promises!" the woman was upset.
Just as Mila was about to rise to leave, a male figure had already entered the private room. Made Mila look at him questioningly. Did he not make a deal with Reuben? Why did Eric even come?
"You?" Mila was glued to the spot. Staring at the man who tonight looks charming with a bunch of red roses in hand.
"Hi, sorry to make you wait so long."
Mila's red lips reflex open. I can hardly believe hearing unfiltered sentences. "I'm not waiting for you. I'll make a deal with Ruben tonight."
Mila's fierce attitude felt very adorable in Eric's eyes. The man stepped closer and stood right in front of Mila. Eric could even see how nervous Mila was at the moment.
"But Reuben won't come."
Mila took a deep breath. His mind was guessing that Eric had just sabotaged his dinner agreement with Ruben. "What did you and Alvin do to Ruben?"
"none. Alvin took Ruben to the back of our school. He said he wanted a reunion."
"Then I'll just go home!" Grabbing her handbag from the table, Mila was about to step up. However, Eric clasped his arm tightly. So that the woman was on the spot. Eric's gaze completely paralyzed his confidence, which he eventually wrapped up with judes' attitude. "Let go, I'm out of here!"
Eric nodded slowly. Wholeheartedly seemed unwilling to let go of Mila. "I'm here to talk about us."
"Don't force! There's nothing more to talk about" Mila refused.
The woman tried to remove Eric's grip, but not a single bit of Eric gave a gap. Even tighten the grip until Mila grimaces.
"It hurts, Eric!"
Realizing, Eric took off Mila's hand. The woman quickly stepped towards the door. Eric stared guiltily. Never in the plan to hurt Mila.
"I'm sorry, Mil. I'm insecure!"
Mila's steps suddenly stopped. For a few moments he was stuck in place. Eric's words just created a puddle of water in his eyeballs.
"What do you mean, Ric? Why insecure?"
The melting was already a clear crystal on Mila's cheek. Social status differences still seem to be the biggest barrier between them.
Although Mila never questioned the difference, but as a man, Eric felt inferior. Moreover, Doctor Mila was not a person who came from an ordinary family.
Therefore, all this time Eric tried to work as hard as possible to become someone worthy of the idol. Even he seemed to deliberately keep his distance and limit himself.
"I'm just a street kid who just happened to be lucky to be picked up by Aunt Elvira. Considered like his own son and became Alvin's brother. Besides, there's nothing special about me."
Mila's tears are back. He turned his body, then looked at Eric who was standing not far from him. Encouraged by strong feelings of love, the woman ran over and buried her body in Eric's arms.
"I love you. I don't care who you are" said the woman.
"I'm sorry, Mil. I know you've never had a problem with that. It's just me ...."
Eric's words hung in the air because Mila had already silenced him with a kiss. To hell with her self-esteem as a woman, Mila doesn't want to be hypocritical by holding back her own feelings.
For a while the two dissolved in the warmth of that little union. Tearing down the wall that had been a barrier between the two. And of course forget Alvin who is enjoying his nostalgic time with Ruben. Maybe they were coffeeing together while talking about a lot of things.
"Not that promise anymore?" lirih Mila's.
"Yes, promise, sweetie."
Mila gave a happy smile. Then he buried his body in Eric's arms.
