Long Journey of Tough Women
41. Erik's Surprise and Faithful Promise

Love can make a person do anything for the sake of the person he loves. Even out of love, most people are willing to lose their lives.

Love is invisible. But the effect is extraordinary for the person who lives it, because love is strong like death. Eda Sally

Yuana who woke up early in her house felt a very different atmosphere. Although he had just experienced grief, but the comfort of being at home made his heart much calmer.

"Good morning ma'am! Sorry Yuana's bad luck."

"It's okay, son! Why do you wake up in the morning. Nothing to do."

"I want to help you cook."

"Everything is in order, princess?" Joshua's voice came from the kitchen.

"Are Joshua awake?"

"Yes! Your brother cooked too. I only saw from afar because your brother didn't want to be helped."

"Lho! Why cook so many?"

"Have you a look, Yu? Who knows if there are relatives here. This is brother cooking for noon."

"Thank you brother. It's been the proudest brother." Yuana said while hugging Yuana.

"If your drama continues like this, when can I finish cooking. C'mon there! Accompany mom."

"Hehehe. Thank you brother." Yuana released her embrace and returned to the dining room.

After they finished cooking, they had breakfast together. After breakfast, Yuana and Joshua clean the house and take a bath. After that they sat casually in front of the house while chatting.

Suddenly the car that Fadly was wearing yesterday has arrived in front of the house. Yuana and her mother were shocked, except for Joshua.

"Kok Fadly come again? Don't tell Bram's secretary to pick me up."

"Where does brother know? Maybe Fadly wants to propose to you." Joshua said to tease Yuana.

"Sir....."

Yuana was unable to finish her sentence as the figure she so desperately missed got down from the car and smiled towards him.

"E...rik?"

Joshua stood up and smiled. Eric then walked towards them and embraced Joshua and greeted the mother. Afterwards, the mother went inside to prepare a warm drink for Erik and Fadly.

While Yuana was still dumbstruck and did not move from her place. He did not believe what he saw.

"Do you not want to hug me?"

Yuana did not answer Erik's question. He just fell down and cried. His feet were not strong enough to stand.

For a while Yuana was just speechless in place with her face bowed and did not dare to be lifted.

"I'm sorry Yos if it's disrespectful. But I can't help my heart seeing your sister cry like this. Let me hug him."

Joshua just nodded with a smile sign of Agree. Erik, who had received the signal from the older brother, immediately knelt down in front of Yuana.

"May I hug you?"

Yuana just nodded with tears still breaking and tried to stand up.

Erik immediately helped Yuana stand up and held Yuana's hand then directly carried her in his arms.

"I missed you. Forgive me for being such a coward and not always around you." Erik whispered in Yuana's ear that was still in his arms.

"I miss you too, brother. Don't go again. I don't want to endure this miss myself."

"Let's sit down first. We'll talk later."

Erik immediately guided Yuana to a seat. He was ashamed to embrace for too long, because there was Joshua, Fadly, and his mother who had come with two glasses of warm ginger wedang.

"The ginger drink first, son!"

"Thank you ma'am. Already bother."

"How was your flight?"

After they finished drinking, she invited them to lunch together.

They enjoyed lunch while chatting lightly.

After eating, they sat back in the living room. Mother and Joshua pretended to be busy at the back, and gave Erik and Yuana a chance to chat together. Fadly told Joshua to rest.

"Don't you rest?"

"No. I want us to talk both. My fatigue was gone when I saw your face up close like this." Erik said as his eyes fixed on Yuana's face.

"I'll answer what you said earlier."

"To be honest I miss you so much, and I'm sure you know that. I also went for our future. Four months I'll be graduating. I promise! After graduation I'll be right back, and won't leave you again."

"But, I'm afraid of the threat of the great master. I couldn't do more because if that happened, I would drag Joshua's brother down and fall together if our relationship was known to the great lord."

"I've thought about the consequences. Later after I get home, the possibility of a wedding plan between me and Celine must be held. But I won't shut up. I'm gonna call off the wedding, somehow."

"Never take any action that would cause you to part with your parents. I'm sincere with whatever your parents' decision is."

"So, you want to give up and let me fight on my own? Have you forgotten your promise?"

"I'm sorry brother. I never forget my promise. But I also don't want to separate you from your parents."

"If you don't forget your promise, then hold my hand and never let go. Because if you're always by my side, then I'll be strong to step up, whatever."

"I will try to be with all my abilities to always be by your side, brother."

"Thank you dear."

"And from today on, don't think about risk or anything. All you have to think about is always beside me to face the obstacles that are in front of us."

"What if it comes down to that moment and you can't do anything? Do you think that I would be strong enough to see you with someone else?"

Yuana is still chasing Erik with various questions because she is afraid of all the possibilities that will happen.

"And I make sure that whether alive or dead, I will fight in my own way to stay with you. This is my promise to you!"

"And I also don't want you to say the word die in front of me. If you die, then you'll only see me in another realm with another man?"

"I'm sorry, honey. I still want to be with you. And I'll kill anyone who dares approach you."

"Don't talk like that anymore. I don't want to have a murder lover."

"No. I'm not gonna be a physical killer. I will only kill your heart and feelings so that you die for others, but always live for me."

"Gombal."

"I'm not flirting. I'm serious about what I'm talking about. Never try to get close to any man. Because if you don't, then you'll see I'm crazy."

"Who is close to the man." Yuana said, turning her lips.

Erik who saw that was anxious and ruffled Yuana's hair then squeezed his nose.

"Sick brother."

"That's why don't you make me anxious."

Yuana immediately hit Erik with the sofa cushion he was holding. Erik reflexes caught the pillow and immediately hugged Yuana.

The deg!

I'm nervous. Yuana
