Love Above the Heart
the Return of Erick

"Where are you, rick? When are you going home?"

Frans said across there.

"I'm out of town! Don't talk about things that aren't pent-"

"It's not unimportant, papa's sick, Rick. Go home! Papa we just took him to the hospital. And he's looking for you!"

Erick was silent for a moment. Thinking something.

"Okay, I'm home tomorrow."

Call ended. But Erick's still fiddling with his phone.

He called someone. Gia's Dad.

"Hello" replied someone across the street.

"Good day Oom. It's Erick"

"Oh how's son? Have you heard from Gia?"

"I want to let you know that I found Gia, Oom, and I talked to her"

"really son? how's things? He's healthy, right?"

"He's healthy Oom, does Oom want to talk to him?'

"certain. Can't you?"

"Oom soon, I'll ask Gia to call again if I'm with Gia"

"All right"

Call ended. Erick wants you to take Gia back to his town tomorrow together. Erick doesn't want Gia in this town alone. Nah! Not alone, but there's a guy named Arga around Gia. Erick is not Rela.

Erick went into the house, and saw Gia who had served her cooking in the front room.

"Let's eat" Gia said to Erick with her smile.

It felt like Erick wanted to hug the woman who was holding the plate. But Erick has to hold back. He knew, mistreatment again later Gia could sulk even angry like earlier.

Erick sat down and took his dinner plate.

"There's only this. You're okay, right?"

"It's okay. Whatever you cook I eat. In the apartment I rarely eat"

"Don't eat! You're thinner than we last met!"

Gia grabs the plate in Erick's hand, and gets Erick a lot of rice.

"Oh, don't be so fat!"

"Males are afraid of fat. Afraid that it hurts not to eat!"

Erick smiled looking at Gia who was really like before. Who likes to grumble. Erick missed that.

"If I'm fat, you're not interested anymore. Especially when you hug me, later you ilfeel again there is fat ngeganjel in my stomach" Erick replied while chewing his food.

"idihhh is cursing at you!" Gia shook her head. Erick smiled at Gia's behavior.

Gia feels too naive with Erick at home. He felt like he wanted to stay away again like he had been doing all this time, because he knows Erick is also one of his sadness that he may not be able to achieve someday because of the blessing of the Erick family that he has not yet got.

With their meeting again, and Erick's presence here has actually broken through the defensive wall that Gia had painstakingly built.

But the situation is contrary to the defense of Gia. The situation seems to be testing Gia's love and feelings for Erick.

The reality is that Gia's heart is held in the deepest he really misses moments like this with Erick.

Gia realized, her love that she had nurtured all this time for Erick following the presence of Erick in front of her eyes now had indeed torn down her own defense fortress.

"When are you coming back, Gi?" Erick said looking at the pensive Gia.

Gia shakes.

"Tomorrow, be with me!"

"I don't want to go back, I feel right here."

"But Gia, you have a family there who nyariin you. I just called your dad. Ngabarin your condition. Surely your father wishes you a quick return home"

"I can't yet, Rick. I was too worried about my parents. If you want to come back tomorrow. Yehudah you go home alone."

"It can't be that, Gia. I want you to come back too. Same home with me, huh?"

"Or is there something that makes you not willing to leave this city? Want to leave this place?" Added Erick

"What do you mean?"

"Who knows if your heart wants to go home but someone is holding you back from going home, that's it."

Gia immediately stopped the chewing activity. He pulled the glass to drink water to the toilet with one sip.

"I have no appetite for food. You eat alone" said Gia while putting her glass on the table with a slight stomp.

(Just right, if Erick is wrong to say it must be craving again his Gia)

"Why are you angry? If there is nothing holding you here. Is it hard to go home?" Ask Erick again.

(Here's the name Erick does provoke anger!)

Gia took a deep breath, then exhaled it.

"Rick, can't it be like this?"

"You mean?"

"I'd rather be here than there. Don't go home. I'm comfortable here"

"It's safe because there's that guy?"

Gia clucked fiercely at Erick. He threw away face. Lazy to see Erick for a moment.

"Is he a valuable person to you? Like you said?"

Gia understood from the beginning what Erick meant was Arga.

"That's how you helped me, Rick!"

Erick screeches.

"Help you once, and then you consider him so precious."

"Here you are, you will not understand! If he doesn't help me, I could die on the street with a miscarriage and bleed out, Rick!"

"Okay, aren't your thanks to him enough? Does he want you to give him a reply?"

"What the hell is Rick? Why talk about him anyway? We talked about going home, right?"

"Why talk about him you say? It's because of him that you don't want to go home, right?"

"Yes, tell me why? What is the reason you don't want to go home?

"I'd rather this way. Right here.

Reason, because..."

"Because what? Be honest!"

"Because there are no people here who are against our relationship. And we can eat quietly like this without fear of being caught by people who don't like us!"

"I miss my family. And I'll get to them soon. And I think they'll understand my decision to stay here." Gia added again.

"Our relationship?" Erick becomes excited to hear Gia's answer.

"So you mean, you want to stay here and our relationship is what it is today? eat together quietly every day? And without the shadow of my family, is that it?"

Because Erick knows what Gia means people who don't like their relationship are Erick's family.

Erick smiled at Gia's words, which included Erick in Gia's life.

Erick understood, returning to their hometown would only hurt Gia again and recall bad memories. Especially the ones created by the Erick family.

Gia's desire is the same as Erick's greatest. Erick wants to get out of the shackles of his family and live with Gia.

"Initially, when I moved here, there was no longer your name on my life list" Gia replied.

Erick scowled and wanted to protest. But Gia spoke again.

"Yes, after you are here, you are here. Why not? why should I go home too?" Added Gia.

Erick mengu lum smile.

"I want to live here with you, both without the shadow of people who do not like our relationship. But I want our relationship to be serious, not just living together, that's my goal." Erick.

"You mean?"

"Yes.I want us to be in status, get married! You're my wife, and I'm your husband. As people here assume"

"When we go home first, at least yes ask for the blessing of both your parents even though maybe from parents I will be difficult" added Erick again.

Gia just kept watching Erick. He wants to welcome the good intentions of Erick who wants to marry her by accepting Erick.

But, somehow there is still a block in his heart to continue. Even though his heart loved this man.

****

Erick had finished his lunch at Gia's. He asks Gia to call Gia's parents. Gia complied.

Gia had a long conversation over the phone with her family. They miss each other.

Their conversation begins with Gia's apology, Gia's miscarriage and Gia's home. The sobs did not escape on the sidelines of their conversation.

Of course Gia was forced home by her parents. But Gia is still Gia. He has his own opinions and opinions for his life.

Finally, although difficult, Gia can convince her parents to stay contracted now.

Soon Erick was ready to return to the hotel and pack for his return tomorrow.

****

Erick entered the airport, today he is going home to his hometown. He was on an afternoon plane.

Erick had met Gia this morning in his rented, but Gia still refused to come home this afternoon.Even drove Erick to the airport even Gia did not want to.

Erick can't force Gia anymore. Forcing it was the same as making another fight between them.

Erick wants to stay here longer, accompany Gia. But he had promised his Papa to come home soon. Besides, Erick's work leave is over tomorrow.

Inevitably, Erick did have to go home. Erick is not willing to leave Gia. But Gia assures Erick that he will be fine.

Erick came home feeling quite calm because he was finally able to meet with Gia again.

And his return was at once his determination to get the blessing of both sides of their parents.

As for their relationship, they finally decided to get back together.

But, Erick still did not understand Gia's answer as if hanging from Erick's heart, but if it is digested Gia's speech has a point and Erick can no longer argue.

"If you've got your parents' blessing to marry me, you can come at any time.I stick to my position and my answer will definitely accept you" that's the goodwill of Gia welcoming Erick's feelings.

But that confused Erick. Gia also said about soul mate.

"If we are not fools, what to force. Maybe you'll find a better soul mate than me."

Erick could deduce Gia's answer. If Erick gets his parents' blessing, they'll get married! But if the blessing is not obtained, why force something that is not his soul mate!

Erick wants to deny Gia's last sentence, but everything Gia says is true.

"Do I really have to let you go if we're not a match?" Inner Erick.

Erick also asks Gia to stay away from Arga so that he can calm down. But what was Gia's answer?

"Me and Arga are just friends, nothing more"

Gia considers Arga a friend after Arga helped her yesterday. And Gia felt that Arga would consider Gia the same. As friends.

"And if it turns out that there is more relationship between us, it must have happened after my relationship with you was really over." Gia's speech that makes Erick's mind sore.

Gia also does not know in the future how and how Arga feels.

"Do I also have to let you go with other people what if we are not a match?" Erick recalled Gia's words.

"i don't want to be selfish to have you choose between me or your family!" Said Gia at the end of their conversation this morning.

So Erick concludes that now they can only get married if Erick gets his parents' approval. Other than that, Gia did not want to marry him. And Erick must be ready to let go of Gia and Rela if in reality Gia will later mate with others.

Because actually, our lives will continue even though we are not destined to be together. And whoever our partner will be a soul mate for each of us.

Not everything we want will be achieved in our lives.

Not all of our goals will work. There must be one or two things that will be our failed rations.

As well as relationships, we can live them and nurture our feelings seriously and lovingly. But that doesn't guarantee the relationship will work.

And back again to the supreme matchmaker. We can only choose someone and work on it, but what determines our soul mate or not, is still not ourselves.

Erick broke his mind in the waiting room. Continue the steps because soon he will flight and leave this city.

Erick entered the cabin of the plane, he sat on his side quietly. And continue on his journey with a mind that breezes.
