Long Journey of Tough Women
125. It Takes Time to Yourself

Sometimes we need time alone to reflect and try to accept things that hurt us. Being alone does not mean avoiding, but it takes a moment to calm the heart. Because calmness will make us think clearly in addressing the problems we are facing. Eda Sally

Erik took a breath hearing what Yuana said. However, her grip on Yuana's hand grew tighter and tighter.

"I'm sorry if I wasn't honest with you in the first place. But I hope you still believe me. I didn't betray you at all." Said Erik.

"But I don't want to see your face yet. Go then! If you don't go I won't open my eyes." Answer Yuana.

"I won't leave here until I get your forgiveness. At least if you want me to go, then let me go with your apologies."

"I can't forgive you yet. I want to be alone for now. You two please come out!" Yuana said still crying.

"How can I get out if you cry like this? I can't afford to leave you in this situation. Please don't cry anymore. Poor our son." Erik said as he continued to kiss Yuana on the face.

"Come out if you don't want me to hate you even more."

Erik kissed Yuana's forehead for a long time, then went out leaving Yuana. Gail was still confused as to whether or not he would come out. He looked at Yuana with worry. He wanted to get closer, but the situation was different now. That's why he chose to come out.

As soon as Erik was just about to open the door, Erik was shocked to see Bram and Arthur's secretaries behind the door.

Without saying anything more, Erik immediately hugged Bram's secretary with tears that could not be dammed anymore.

"Sister! Please save our relationship. I don't know what else to say."

"Calm your heart. He needed time to himself in order to accept all these realities. Maybe you think you are not wrong, but the name of the woman will always be sensitive and full of suspicion. Maybe he's still not sure about your relationship with Celine." Bram said at length while patting Erik on the shoulder.

"Please reassure him that I didn't touch Celine at all. I'm not the cheap guy he thinks I am."

Bram smiled and looked at Erik's face. Gail who was near them was deeply moved to hear the conversation between the two honorable people.

They then sat for about two hours outside while waiting for Yuana to calm her heart. Bram felt that it was time he talked to Yuana. That's why he dared to come in.

When Bram came in, he saw Yuana sitting while stroking her stomach. Yuana is unaware when Bram's secretary comes in. As soon as he lifted his face, he was shocked because Bram looked at him with a smile.

"Sister!"

That was all Yuana said. He nodded and came back crying. Bram did not hug her, but pulled up a chair and sat down before Yuana. He let Yuana cry without saying anything.

After a few minutes, Bram's secretary noticed Yuana had started to calm down.

"May you talk?" Ask Bram.

Yuana did not answer. Instead he nodded his head while forcing to smile.

"I'll just ask you a few questions. You just have to answer yes or no so as not to drain your emotions." Bram said with a smile.

"Do you believe me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you feel you know me well?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"If so, when I marry you, do you think that I didn't think of everything before doing that?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Yuana answered honestly.

"Look! I couldn't have married you if I had known that something had happened between Erik and Celine. You yourself know that Erik hates that woman a lot."

Yuana silently heard the words of Bram's secretary. He was still thinking in the confusion between believing and not what he had just heard.

They were silent for a long time with their own minds. Suddenly, Bram's secretary's gaze moved into Yuana's stomach. He looked at the small belly that had started to bulge, then smiled towards Yuana.

"My niece will definitely be handsome like her papa. You want to see a picture of Erik as a kid?" Bram's secretary asked to distract him.

Yuana smiled and nodded her head in response to the words of Bram's secretary.

Secretary Bram immediately opened his wallet and took out a photo that was always stored in his wallet.

When looking at Erik's childhood photo, Yuana immediately laughed so funny to see the photo. Because in the photo, Erik looks long-haired and more like a girl.

Erik who was peeking out from behind the glass door wondered about what made his wife laugh so loosely.

Secretary Bram who saw Yuana laughing felt like he had a chance to talk.

"You know, when he was in school he was still long-haired until many men always wanted to play with him. A lot of girls are so anxious that they often pinch their cheeks if our bodyguards don't pay attention."

Yuana's laughter grew louder. He closed his face and couldn't help but laugh. Secretary Bram smiled as it managed to make Yuana laugh. He put his favorite picture back in his wallet.

Secretary Bram lets Yuana laugh to get back to neutralizing her emotions. After seeing Yuana somewhat calm down, Bram's secretary then patted Yuana on the shoulder.

"Yes! I have a little gift for you and I want to show you something. But you have to come to the mansion to be able to take it."

"If you're still not ready to talk to Erik, you can go with me in the car that Arthur brought, while Erik will be with Gail." Bram's secretary offered.

Yuana seems to be thinking about considering Bram's secretary offer. He wanted to refuse the offer, but the one who bid was Bram's secretary so he was not happy if he had to refuse.

"Good brother! I'm going to come along. But as big brother promised, I don't want to be in a car with Erik. I'm not ready yet, brother!" Yuana said with a smile.

"It's okay. I understand how you feel. You're natural to think that way. And whoever it is, it's gonna think the same thing as you." Bram's secretary said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother!"

Secretary Bram then helps Yuana off the bed. They then came out of the room where Yuana was treated and said goodbye to Doctor Stevi. Erik has since cleared the administration related to Yuana's care.

When they came out, Yuana was shocked that Erik was standing behind the door while looking at her with a loving look. He is seen showing off his smile to Yuana which further adds to his good looks.

While Gail stood stiff and looked at Yuana with the same gaze as Erik did.

Seriate.
