Erica's Secret
Towards seriousness

Jonathan was silent and looked far ahead. In his backyard, Jonathan basked in the afternoon sun and he was about to enter the pool in a moment.

He smiled to himself to see the behavior of Erica who did not want to be immediately proposed by him. In fact, any woman would immediately say agree if proposed by him. But why wouldn't Erica? Well, Jonathan understands. All because of that guy named Geo. He had incised the deepest wound Erica had sustained. And it took a long time for Jonathan to heal Erica's heartache.

Jonathan stood up and dived in the pool. He straightened his hand and slid off quickly. Jonathan likes to exercise. Therefore, her stamina is quite high. Her field body displayed its own charm and Erica loved to stroke Jonathan's field chest.

After sliding twice a lap, Christy came to Jonathan. He waited at the edge of the pool waiting for his eldest son to finish swimming.

"Joooo!" call Christy.

Jonathan returns to the starting point . He stopped his swimming activities and raised his head on the surface of the pool. Jonathan regulated his breathing and now his breathing has stabilized.

"Yes, Ma."

"Yesterday Mama talked to Erica."

"About?"

"Your engagement."

Jonathan covered the big smile on his face.

"Seriously, Ma? So what did he say?"

"And she said yes. We have to prepare for next week."

"Finally he wanted to be persuaded by Mama. Yesterday Jonathan didn't want to go on" Jonathan said sadly.

"If you can't you should say Mama dong. Just calm. Mama must have helped. Erica is a good child. Mama likes it." said Christy with passion.

"Seriously Mama is okay with Erica? Mama didn't care about Erica's background, did she?"

"No. Mama is sure your chosen woman must be good. Of course should be better than Vanessa huh! Don't let him set foot here again!!" christy said.

"Quiet, Ma. Won't do. Jonathan guarantees."

Ning..nong.ting....

"Who is it, Ma?" ask Jonathan. Christy just put her shoulder out.

Mama and Jonathan are still joking about plain Erica. Mama did not expect that Erica was easily ignored by him. Christy was very happy. Because Jonathan can get Erica who is plain and also beautiful. His heart is also very good.

Shortly after, the aunt comes to Christy and tells her that a guest wants to see Jonathan.

"Sorry, Sir. There's a guest."

"Vanessa?!!" jonathan was shocked. Christy looked back and saw Vanessa in a beautiful dress. Christy had seen with her own eyes, the dress was good but not with her heart.

"Would you like to come here?" asked Christy who immediately stood up to face Vanessa. It felt like he rolled a shirt on his arm and collided muscles with Vanessa.

"I'm sorry Vanessa interfered, Auntie" said Vanessa softly. He slightly lowered his eyes. Jonathan also immediately climbed into the pool, ending his swimming activities. He took a towel and covered his body.

"Yes, disturbing. What do you want to come here?" christy asked in an unhappy tone.

"I want to talk to Jonathan, Auntie."

"About what?" jonathan asked with his wet hair.

"Jo, I want to make it clear that yesterday I'm really sorry. I didn't know it was your new boyfriend. I'm sorry and..." Vanessa started explaining. But Christy is reluctant to listen to what Vanessa wants to say.

"So you came here just to say that?" christy did not understand.

"No, Aunt. In addition, Vanessa also wants to apologize for Vanessa's hasty departure yesterday."

"It's okay. Already Aunt sorryin. No need to worry about that anymore" said Christy.

"Really, Auntie?" Vanessa's face immediately turned bright.

"But...There's a tapi..."

"What is Auntie?"

"Next week come here again. Because Jonathan and Erica are getting engaged" Christy said with a firm eye and did not comment on the slightest smile.

"What's? Not wrong? Jo, do you want to be with Erica? You're kidding me, aren't you? You're just gonna be Erica for a while, aren't you? I'm more everything than Erica. I thought you were just messing around and could come back with me. But, what is this, Jo?" vanessa asked in disbelief.

"You don't blame Jonathan and make yourself a victim of all this, Vanessa. You've left Jonathan. And Jonathan couldn't work until Jonathan was told to quit his company because of your thinking. Is it natural that Jonathan is getting better now? Who can understand Jonathan besides you? You are better at your career and job. But it's no better than accompanying Jonathan" Christy said. Spicy and quite piercing Vanessa's heart.

Without Vanessa noticing, her tears were dripping and she was speechless.

"Go home, Vanessa. I can't talk to you anymore" Jonathan said.

Vanessa looked at Jonathan, hoping that he would help a fragile Vanessa like this. But in fact it's not. Jonathan won't defend him this time. Iota.

"alright. I'm h-home. I was wrong to come here that I thought could explain everything."

"Yes. You better go back to Milan and pursue your career!" christy said. His eyes confirmed Vanessa was coming out of his house that very second. Vanessa turned her body. Wiping away her tears and not daring to look back. He can't do anything anymore. Jonathan didn't help her one bit. Vanessa ended up with a life like this. It's like being in love with Jonathan.

Jonathan looked at her with compassion. But he can't do anything. He won't dispute what Christy said. He knew he had to listen to what his mother said.
