Dumped Husband And Married Boss
I'm sorry, I'm Gone!

"I don't hate Eric, Mah. I love him too. Especially when we know we are blood. I'm just disappointed that something this big was kept a secret from me in the first place. I feel stupid myself." 

"Mama understands your feelings, Vin. But it's also not fair to Eric" explained the mother. "Eric could have taken advantage of our kindness. He could demand our treasure. But he didn't do any of that at all. He even refused all the facilities we gave him." 

Admittedly Alvin, Eric is indeed one of the best people he has ever met. Eric was never dazzled by treasures, even when he had the chance to have everything. 

"Yes, Mah. I know it. But still I can't take everything for granted. What's more for now." 

Not wanting to force a desire on Alvin, Mama Elvira nodded in agreement. After all, Alvin and Eric are like having a magnet for each other. We need and complement each other. 

"Yes already, mama won't force. We all need time." 

Alvin finally softened a little. No more exploding like that.

The sound of a bell that kept ringing made Eric open his eyes. He who was just about to break through the dreamland reflex woke up. He then glanced at the clockwork attached to the wall. Time still shows eleven o'clock at night. 

"Who, anyway?" upset the man. Little wonder because it was almost late at night. "Not knowing how you're going to meet up at night!" 

Still with the rest of the drowsiness, Eric flicked the blanket. Then immediately go to the door. As soon as he opened, he pegged for a few moments to see who was standing before him in a pajama suit. 

"Mila?" Eric stunned. "Why did you come here at night?" tanyakanya. 

Instead of answering, the woman put on a glaring look. "Can I come in?" 

Eric took a deep breath, then shifted his body to the side of the door so that Mila could go inside. As soon as Eric closed the door, the woman directly rammed her body into Eric's back. Close your hands tightly to your waist. 

"I'm sorry, Ric. I know mommy's gone too far. If you can't accept my family, I'll leave those who matter can be just like you." 

Eric took off Mila's hand that was coiled around her waist, but don't expect Mila to give up. Because now the woman is even attached like a stamp. 

"Don't ask me to leave. Or I'll kill myself!" 

"Mil, you're a smart woman. I'm sure you're not that stupid to kill yourself!" 

The woman pursed her lips. It turns out that Eric knew that the threat of suicide was just a mere threat. "Kok you know?" 

"See from your face!" 

Eric took his girlfriend to sit on the couch. From his puffy eyes, Eric was sure that Mila had been crying for a long time. 

"Mommy you'd be pissed if you found out you were out at home all night like this." 

"Let's go!" reply Mila. 

"I'll be accused of kidnapping you!" 

"That's what I want!" 

Out of words, Eric just shook his head. His girlfriend is very stubborn. 

"Please don't make things worse. Come on, I'll drive you home." Without waiting for Mila to answer, Eric had already pulled her out. Mila even had to continue rebelling.

Unlike usual, this morning the atmosphere in the house looked quiet. There is no morning as usual. Even at the dinner table there was silence.

Both Mama Elvira, Alvin and Daniza were silent and did not chat as usual. The breakfast that is usually tinged with the debate is silent.

"No. Want to be home again!" answer Alvin.

Mama Elvira was silent. He understood that Alvin would be awkward to meet Eric under these circumstances. Now the only hope is that Eric comes in like early in the morning to have breakfast together. However, after a while of waiting, Eric never came.

"Where is he really?" Mama Elvira immediately contacted Eric after the meal, but did not connect.

Fear began to hit. The memory of the middle-aged woman only rests on the threat of Eric a few years ago, which would have gone a long way if his identity was exposed.

"How is it! Hope Eric doesn't really leave!" Mama Elvira paces the living room while trying to get in touch with Eric. Not only the mobile number, the woman also called the apartment number, but the results were still nil.

"What's up, Mah?" Alvin who was curious about the attitude of his mother was approaching.

"The number cannot be reached! Eric's not here anymore either."

"Early on the road! Maybe go straight to the office."

Alvin's words didn't calm Mama down. Even the woman seemed to be getting riled up.

Until a while passed, he did not get any news from Eric. Even Alvin just called the office guy to ask if Eric's here or not.

"How, Vin?" Mamah Elvira after Alvin finished talking on the phone.

"The office guy says Eric doesn't exist, Mah! Maybe he also needs to calm down like I do" Alvin said.

"But how about Eric go, Vin!" mama Elvira panicked.

"Where is Eric going, Mah. I know Eric loves Mama. There's no way he's leaving. She'll die from missing mama if she leaves."

Alvin's facial expression was impressed by the bodo period, but in his heart he was actually worried about Eric's condition.

"We better get to her apartment right now, Vin! Mama was really afraid Eric was leaving. He's also a mother's son."

Alvin understood the concerns of mama.He was afraid if Eric to leave them. Without asking much, he embraces the mama towards the front yard. A driver approached as soon as Alvin called with a gesture.

Upon arrival at the apartment, Mama Elvira looked tense. Alvin had pressed the bell several times, even banging on the door quite hard. Eric did not open the door.

Luckily Alvin memorized the password of the apartment door, so they entered without permission.

As soon as the door opened, the atmosphere seemed silent. There's nobody there. Alvin and Mama Elvira then go through each room. But they didn't find Eric.

Once past the television room, Mama Elvira's attention was immediately drawn to a white piece of paper on the table, complete with an unlimited shopping card.

With a trembling body, Mama Elvira opened the white paper with Eric's handwriting.

___________

Mama .. I'm sorry.

I gotta go. Not because I don't want to be here. But I need time to calm down.

Thank you for taking care of me and receiving me without seeing the black stains that have been on me all this time.

If I could ask God, I would really wish to be born of my mother. May your mother always be happy.

Your son, Eric.
