Erica's Secret
A doubtful feeling

A few days passed...Erica came home from work and increasingly doubted her own husband. Because of the mysterious messages that keep coming. Erica didn't tell Jonathan that. He was afraid it would boomerang for himself.

At first, Erica suspects Andrea. Therefore he tried to lure Andrea through the talks that he had been doing to him. Andrea was honest. He did not hide anything suspicious. But he still doubts whether he can trust Andrea or not.

"Honey." call Jonathan when he opens the door to his room. Because tonight Erica Tumben never left the room for dinner.

"Yes?"

"You don't eat?

" I'm not hungry."

"Auntie's cooking teriyaki meat is delicious, sweetie."

Erica put down her phone and took her sleeping position.

"I'm going to sleep."

"Darling? Do you really want to be like this? Sure?"

Erica just shut up. He did not respond to Jonathan.

"Okay. Take your time. We talk later."

Erica closed her eyes. Although he could not sleep and thought about the mysterious message, he tried to sleep. Jonathan didn't bother him tonight. Not for tonight.

The next day, Erica wanted to hug Jonathan as usual. But because of the mysterious message, his heart was not stirred at all. He called Andrea to leave thirty minutes early. He did not meet Jonathan.

"Mom, didn't you say goodbye to me, Mom?"

"We had breakfast on the street" Erica said entering the car. Andrea did not ask again. Erica seemed to have something to hide. I don't know what it is.

Erica asked the driver to stop at McDonalds and order breakfast there.

"Dea." call Erica.

"Yes, Mom."

"You got a boyfriend?"

"Have it, Mom."

"How much do you believe you're your boyfriend?" ask Erica.

"Yes I believe, Mom. Whenever there's anything, we'll talk about it. And he's always open with me, ma'am" Andrea said.

"Lately someone sent me a message like this" Erica said, showing Andrea the contents of the short message. He showed it because he didn't know who else to ask.

"This..what, Mom?"

"This is a message I receive almost every day. This message made me doubt my own husband" Erica said.

"Mom should ask Father, Mom. Who knows if anyone would want to ruin your home."

Erica thought for a moment.

"really?"

"We never know someone's heart, ma'am. Maybe up front is good, but behind it is our prick" Andrea explained.

Erica nodded in understanding with Andrea's words.

"I'm worried these few days. Because Mom's not like she used to be. I have to discuss this matter with Mr. Jonathan."

Andrea nodded in understanding with what Erica said. Maybe all this time Erica needed a storymate but did not know who the story to. While he was just a new person who certainly did not get the trust of Erica completely.

Returning home from work, Erica found Jonathan in the guest room. It's not like usual. Usually, it was him who was waiting for Jonathan in the living room.

"You're coming home, you?" ask Erica.

"Whats happen really? Why you didn't tell me, Erica?" jonathan asked as soon as he saw Erica coming home.

Erica did not answer. He just pulled out his phone and told the contents of the chat that had been sending him messages.

Jonathan gasped and did not know what to answer. Because this was the first time Erica had silenced her like that.

"I got that message these days. And I don't know what I'm thinking. My mind went everywhere after reading that message" Erica said.

"What do you think, Erica?"

"I don't know! I just don't know why after we got married there was such a thing. Something that makes us fight sheep and we end up fighting. I know this is something I should ignore, right? But I can't ignore that!" said Erica. He began to give explanations. During his time with Jonathan, he was upset with him for not trusting Jonathan.

"Then do you believe these messages?"

"Of course not! But all those messages have formed doubt in my heart Jonathan!"

"Doubts? What kind of doubt? I love us Erica! You don't have to doubt all that!"

"You really love me?"

"Yes of course."

"Tell me your bad side."

"My bad?"

"You know everyone has both good and bad sides. And all this time I've only known your good side."

"Rooks. No! I don't have that side?"

"So, why they always text me? It's make me doubt!"

"Who's the fucking guy who's been sending messages like that I don't know, Erica!"

"Okay. Let's just say we don't know who this guy is. But we're gonna find out why and why he bothers me every day!" said Erica.

"Just ignore this!"

"No way, Jonathan. You husband. I don't want a little doubt in my heart for my husband. And if there's a little doubt somehow there's been a life that I've been proud of all this time, Jonathan!"

"You mean?"

"You know Jonathan, I sincerely love you."

"I'm also very sincere in loving you Erica! You think I'm not?"

"And if I find evidence that has been your true self, I don't know. Maybe I should leave all this behind" Erica said.

"No, Erica, no. I'm sure there's a misunderstanding of all this. He just wants to complain to us! Why can you believe all that?"

"We'll see what game he's playing!" erica said with a sharp eye and pierced Jonathan's heart.

Never before had Erica been staring with such an angry look. Usually the eyes and intonation of her voice sound beautiful and soft. Why does it feel different tonight?
