HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
38. Equally Disappointed

Eric leaves them feeling sad after giving his son an understanding that if opa and his mother allow it then he will return to pick him up and will take him on vacation in town A before going back to school.

Mr. Nico and Anna are both silent and do not respond to Eric's wishes. Both are hoping to comment.

"If Papa's not busy anymore, please pick me up!" pinta Felyn with spoiled.

"Yes, honey," said Eric.

Once again he crouched down and hugged his son tightly while kissing his cheek.

"Papa promised yah would come to pick me up soon!"

Eric nodded and then nodded. Anna's tail followed her husband's departure. There was a sense of disappointment infiltrating his heart. He thought that Eric would come home with them but the truth said otherwise, it seemed like he was comfortable with his life and he came just to please his son. That's what's on Anna's mind right now.

Same with Eric. It passed with a very disappointed heart. He also drove his vehicle at high speed through a smooth asphalt road under the hot sun.

The journey he used to take for six hours is now only about five hours. It was still late in the afternoon when he arrived home and was greeted by his father with many questions as he went home without bringing his wife and son in line with their expectations.

Eric did not answer a single question asked by his father because he did not know what to answer and his body was too tired after a long journey. He went into the house and straightened the back on the bed.

His memory cannot be separated from the attitude of Anna and her in-laws who seemed less friendly but his heart was also a little relieved because they could meet his wife directly after a long separation. The longing that he had been pendam had been slightly treated.

Suddenly he felt something inside him waking up after a long sleep. Anna's face as if dancing in front of his eyes makes him more passionate even though the figure of his wife is only a shadow.

The body was still weak from exhaustion but passionate desire forced him to get up and he hurriedly went into the bathroom to finish things his own way.

"Tok, tok, tok" the sound of knocking on the door of the room but Eric did not hear it because the sound of water flowing from the faucet was very loud.

"Eric, this is warm drinking water!" sir Hendrik shouted at the door.

Eric came out of the bathroom and heard his father's voice calling his name. Immediately he opened the door and it appeared that his father was carrying a cup of coffee whose smoke was still billowing.

"Ah, I bother everything," said Eric, grabbing the tray from his father's hand and taking it to the living room and putting it on the table.

"How are your wife and children?"

"They're fine,"

"Why don't you take her home?"

"They're not ready,"

Mr. Hendrik won't ask again. He understands that Eric is lacking in spirit because his efforts have not succeeded in bringing his wife and child home.

Soon after Hendrik returned to the stall because many customers visited and Mr. Darman sometimes overwhelmed serving them if alone.

After being hospitalized for several days, Elma's mother was allowed to go home because her condition had gradually improved. Eric offers to go home, but his mother refuses.

Elma's mother could not imagine if she had to meet the Goddess again so she looked for an excuse and went home.

"Yes Ma'am, let's just go back to Eric's, if we go home, who's going to take care of Mom?" erika's Plan.

"There's you, son," said Elma's mother.

"But I have to go to school, while if Mom stays at Brother Eric's house, there is a father who will take care of Mom there," said Erika again.

Elma's mother fell silent. In her heart she thought, why does her husband not want to go home when they are better? Or would her husband prefer to stay at Eric's house because he neighbors with the Goddess?¹

"Your father can stay at home, really," said Elma's mother with great difficulty.

"Maybe you can go home but after the stall is closed and it's already midnight because the stall is open until elevenpm sometimes even until twelve," erika said innocently to make her mother more curious.

"Whatever you have, which is good!" Elma's mother finally relented to the will of her children because given the condition of her body that is not stable and certainly she still desperately needs care from them.

Arriving at Eric's house, Mr. Hendrik immediately greeted him with joy. He approached and helped his wife get out of the car and into the house. Elma's mother was surprised to see the stall in front of the house but she tried to be mediocre.

At first glance he glanced at the neighboring house where he used to hang out there with the Goddess. A man of Eric's age came out of the house and got into a car parked in the yard. Elma's mother noticed the car and she made sure that it was not the Dewi's car she used to ride in. He thought maybe the man was the goddess's mistress.

"Let's sit here first, I'll take a warm drink in the kitchen first!" mr. Hendrik said to his wife.

Elma's mother sat on the sofa with a myriad of questions in her head. Meanwhile Erika appeared at the door while carrying food for herself. Earlier, when he just arrived he went straight to the shop and took his own favorite food because his stomach was rumbling. His mother watched carefully.

"Want to too?" erika asked because she realized that her mother was watching her.

"Where did you get that food?" ask Elma's mother.

"Take yourself at the stall Mr." said Erika while biting her favorite chicken satay greedily.

"Dad you got a stall?" ask her mother again.

"Yes Mom, I have been selling food for a long time" replied Erika.

Elma's mother remembers now, all this time when Erika came home and always brought food that she said the food was bought by her brother. It turns out Erika took it at her father's shop. You know now why Erika is very diligent to visit her brother's house.

"Eh, Erika, why eat alone, don't you take it for your mother?" said Mr. Hendrik who emerged from the kitchen while carrying warm tea.

"Relax Dad, count my salary later after washing the dishes!" erika said while laughing crisply.

Mr. Hendrik laughed when he heard his son's words. Both seem very familiar.
