HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
32. Family Photo

Susi and Anna are already close friends after meeting on Andi's wedding day. Susi also deliberately ordered some furniture to Anna as a reason for their friendship to get closer so that she could really enter the gap and ask about matters of principle in relation to her personal life.

Anna tells Susi about her life journey.

"Wait a minute, An... Is your ex-husband Eric?" susi asked pretending not to know.

"Yes, why?" sahut Anna's across the street.

"I have a workmate at the office named Eric but according to the news I heard, the Eric was a widower, even friends in the office scrambling for attention to get close to the handsome, kind-hearted Eric,"

"Yahhh, in the world there are many people with the same name, if my ex-husband is married, he married his former lover named Dewi,"

"Ohhhh, how about Ma'am, are there any plans to remarry?"

"The door of my heart is closed to any man, I am comfortable with my life now,"

"I'm sorry, I'm just kidding, don't take it!"

"It's okay to, uh almost forgot this, last week's order was delivered courier?"

"Already Ma'am, the goods are very okay, wait for the following order well!""

"Ready Deck,"

Phone connection disconnected. Susi smiled as she was one step away from reaching this stage. The familiarity that is intertwined makes it easier to dig out the next information.

Anna was pensive when she heard information from Yura that a man had come looking for her while she was in Irian and that made her curious because Yura could not explain how men were it was because of wearing a mask and helmet.

He was reminded of the last status that Eric uploaded on Facebook. But he tried to expel his thoughts with various considerations. Who knows if his wife used her husband's account. He should not expect much for fear of being hurt a second time.

The atmosphere in the store was quiet because heavy rain suddenly came pouring into town B even though the new clock showed at 10:30 WIB. Anna sat down while filling the time by opening the WhatsApp app on her phone.

His eyes widened to see the photo sent by Susi.Tadi morning Susi secretly took a picture of Eric when he passed in front of his study.

(Sorry Ma'am, this is a photo of my co-worker named Eric!)

Anna's body felt cold and sweaty. Is it true Susi said the other day that Eric, her office friend is a widower? This question came to his mind.

(Yes, this photo is similar to my ex-husband but I'm not sure if my ex-husband already has a new wife.)

(Ohh, yes, later if the break time I will try to approach him and ask him directly, who knows he is willing to give an answer.)

Anna doesn't reply to Susi's chat anymore. He stood up and looked out who was starting to get a bit brighter because the rain was not as hard as before.

"Good afternoon, have you been home from school?" Anna asked back.

"Yes, sister" replied Yura.

As usual when Yura had already come to the store then Anna would return home to rest.

In the room he could not sleep when it was time to take a nap. He was curious about the news from Susi. If it is true that the photo sent was a photo of Eric, but why did Susi say that the man was a widower? If Eric never married the Goddess, why did he never come to pick me up? Anna became dizzy herself with various questions that plagued her mind.

Soon her phone vibrated a sign that a message was coming in. Deftly Anna immediately touched the screen of the phone and it turned out to be a chat from Susi.

(According to the confession of my friend named Eric, he said, his wife used to go home to her parents because of illness and never came back again because of a misunderstanding. Already several times he tried to pick up his wife and child but never met because he said he had moved house and neighbors who had been questioned did not know where to act. Trus from various efforts made he managed to find out his new address but when he went there he said his wife and family were out of town. There was another desire to leave because he was convinced that the address was not wrong again but he had not received a salary, while his savings had been used as capital to set up a business.)

Anna sighed and exhaled slowly before typing to reply to the chat.

"Tin!"

A message came in again before he sent a reply.

A photograph. Family photos, this photo is used by Eric as wallpaper on his phone. Anna is seen sitting on a chair holding Felyn and Eric standing at the side with his hands holding his wife's shoulders.

(It's a picture of Ma'am, isn't it? Eric said, This is a picture of his family)

(What about his new wife?)

(Say he never married again)

Actually Eric was impatient to contact Anna directly to explain clearly because he had recorded his mobile number but the advice from Susi was also correct that not too rash. Anna will slowly realize that.

For a few days, Susi always contacted Anna and told her about Eric's situation. Not to forget he also told about Dewi, Eric's former lover who had destroyed his parents' household.

Eric had already told Susi everything with nothing to hide and hoped that Anna would open her heart back to him after knowing the true story.

The relationship between Anna and Susi is getting closer until Susi is interested in Anna's offer to work together to build a business that is being cultivated.

Now Susi also has a side job by participating in promoting Anna's merchandise through social media. The result is quite decent because many friends and acquaintances who order the item and the delivery is also very fast so that many become subscriptions.

One time Susi deliberately asked how Anna felt today about Eric after knowing the truth of the events that had made her down and Anna replied that if God pleased surely they would be reunited.

Susi also continued the chat from Anna to Eric to make his best friend jump like a child who just got a special gift.

He did not realize that there were many office friends who were looking at him while laughing and shaking their heads.
