HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
23. Confident Friends

Eric awoke from his sleep when he heard a noise outside. Rubbing his eyes he headed to the living room and peered outside.

"Hey, liar! Where's your promise?" since's mother shouted while pointing at the face of the Goddess.

"Sabar Bu, it's only the third day, so for a little while the night there's new money because my brother will just transfer from Kalimantan!" sahut Goddess.

The two women in the next door neighbor were fighting with their mouths until it became a free spectacle of the citizens passing by.

Eric shook his head. "Luckily I did not marry him, his true nature was becoming more real" Eric muttered in his heart.

He sits on the couch. His eyes were fixed on the photo hanging on the wall with a large size. Seemed himself smiling with his hands holding the shoulders of his wife who was sitting in a chair while holding Felyn who was then only fifteen months old. A smile of sincerity was drawn on Anna's face. Eric looked directly at him so that he moved from his seat and approached the picture and stroked the faces of people who were very meaningful in his life alternately.

Her tears flowed when she realized that her wife and child had left with wounds in her heart. He could only pray for them day and night and always ask God to give them wisdom and guidance so that one day they could be reunited.

Last week, Eric left for B in hopes of meeting his wife and children but only reaped disappointment, especially after seeing the toys and clothes that he hung near the door of his home-in-law still hanging neatly. That is, all this time who have a house has never come to visit his house.

Seeing that the yard was clean and the weeds had dried up, he thought that it was likely that his in-laws had hired someone to do the job.

To console his heart of longing and loneliness he grabbed his cell phone and opened a gallery to view a photo of his memories with his son and wife.

After a while he switched to the WhatsApp application and he saw a video message from his mother a few days ago. He thought, surely this video contains the togetherness of the mother with the Goddess because she really understands the wishes of her mother who wants to match her with the woman.

His intention would remove the video submission but it was twisted and his eyes were wide open to see the hot scene between his father and Goddess on the video with a fairly long duration.

"Bad!" his hissing in heart. His hands clenched and his teeth chattered with anger.

He also contacted his mother.

"Hello Kid!" I heard a greeting from his mother.

"What about the desire of the Mother who desperately wants to marry me to the Goddess?"

Elma's mother did not answer, but her tears broke.

"Now the new Mother knows, right, what is the true personality of the Goddess? Frankly I am very disappointed because my wife who is so sincere has become a victim that until now I do not know her whereabouts. All this because of the mother who always supported the cunning woman. Look at Mom, my dad he took!"

Eric disconnects his phone and rushes back to his body on the sofa violently.

The goddess is really evil and cheap. Two houses were destroyed at the same time.

The next day Eric again saw a scene similar to yesterday's at the neighbor's house. A young man in a white shirt was fighting with the Goddess. Eric deliberately linger put his shoes on the porch of the house to hear their conversation.

"This car we will pull if in this week Mbak does not pay the installments!" said the man firmly.

"I will try sir" said Dewi.

"No sir, in this week I'll be paying for it soon,"

Now Eric already knew that the car belonging to the Goddess who often he showed off was not paid off.

Eric purposely seemed not to see and hear their chatter. He went to the office without looking. Arriving at the office he still had time to relax for fifteen minutes and the time he used to call his sister because of curiosity about the state of the household of his parents.

Erika told me according to the reality she saw. From the voice of his sister through a mobile phone, Eric made sure that Erika was crying.

"Mother has driven father and father away carrying only clothes attached to his body. Mom didn't let him carry anything, including a cell phone." Erika added her story.

Not to forget he also told the confession of his mother who judged himself and argued that everything experienced today was the result of his actions against Anna.

There are still many things they discuss until working hours for Eric have arrived. Likewise, his sister who immediately entered his classroom to receive lessons from teachers.

Eric works with wandering minds. He argues that all the difficulties and struggles they face today would never have happened had the Goddess not come and become a third party that damages their household.

There is a sense of sadness and pity when remembering the father who now knows where the waste is. He could not understand the behavior of his father who had hurt his mother.

Eric hopes that all the struggles experienced by his parents will be a lesson and experience that is very meaningful and can make his mother aware to respect others and not easily influenced by someone's speech.

Eric did not realize that there was a pair of eyes that always pay attention to his movements. The beautiful eyes with the plump fur of Susi kept watching her from the next room. Susi knows that Eric is struggling because it is very visible from the look of his face and his body that began to be thin.

But so far Susi has never again looked for an opportunity to attract the attention of Eric. The feeling of joy in his heart closed deep because he knew that Eric was not a man.

Susi wants to see Eric happy. I don't know, what's in his heart. Now he intends to become a friend and become a confiding friend for Eric and is willing to help to find the whereabouts of his wife and child.

After the break, Susi approached Eric to his room. He has done this often.

"I'm sorry if I'm talking about the life of the Father because all this time I have noticed you are always sad, for the story dong, do not hold your own, who knows I can help!" susi said while offering food brought from home.

"Thank you Susi, I'm just always thinking about my wife and son!" eric said sadly.

"If you may know, what is the name of your wife?"

"Name's Anna,"

"I want to search on Facebook, who knows can get acquainted through the application,"

"Yes, maybe too. Maybe he's still using his account because I can't open it because my wife has blocked my account,"

Susi typed Anna's name on her phone screen and there were several accounts that appeared.

"Let's see sir, because Anna's name is too much!"

Eric looks at Susi's cell phone screen and shows her a picture of his wife.
