Married A Blind Heir
Chapters. 57 Farewell

"I'll be back in Indonesia tomorrow morning, first flight," Ervin said as soon as they had just sat in the living room after putting his children to sleep. Laras and Ervin finally agree to accompany them to sleep, but nothing more.

Laras immediately turned his head to look at Ervin's face with a difficult gaze to interpret. He was still silent though it could not be denied that his heart felt that there was something strange when he heard that man was going to leave again.

"I'm sorry I've made such a mess here" Ervin said, with deep regret.

The barrel exhales its breath slowly before it starts to open its voice.

"Once again, please forgive me," said Ervin again with a soft and pleading gaze.

"There's nothing to confuse. You have the right to meet Nevan and Nessa. I am too selfish because I only think about my feelings without remembering your feelings," said Laras who has been trying to organize his heart and see this problem better.

"So you've forgiven me?" asked Ervin enthusiastically. He breathed a sigh of relief, before continuing his words. "Thank God then. I can go quietly now."

"I never said that." Laras shook his head slowly.

Ervin again made surprised by the words of Laras, he looked at the woman questioningly and disappointed because it turns out all his efforts can not even get an apology from Laras.

"What do I have to do to get that apology, Ras?" asked Ervin who was starting to despair. He has done what he can, but why always get a dead end and rejection from the woman.

"There's nothing to forgive, because I never blame you. I'm just disappointed in you and the problem is in me. I wished and adored you so much that I was so deeply hurt when I found out you were turning away" Laras said in a soft voice. His gaze was bright, considering everything that had happened in his life for almost seven years.

"The whole incident was painful, but behind it all, without me knowing it, I continued to process to mature in the course of healing the wound. I also met people who loved me more. I'm grateful for that. And that gratitude covered my anger at the wounds created."

"Doesn't a child have to fall over and over again to walk and run? Then I think of all those wounds as the wounds of a little boy who falls while learning to walk."

Laras smiled even though his eyes were not teary. The bitter memories of his life journey will always be stored in his memories, but not with those wounds. He wants to heal. He wants to make peace with his pain.

Ervin's lips kelu. For a moment, the man seemed to be sitting stiffly in awe of the great woman in front of him. A woman who never blames circumstances for all the pain in living her life.

"Thank you, Race." That's a word that can only come out of his mouth. Ervin got up and hugged the slender body of the woman who had given birth to her two hearts.

"Thank you for sticking around. Thank you for choosing to keep our children, and thank you for everything. Thank you for staying alive until I can find you again" Ervin said with tears streaming down his head.

The barrel sculpted, his body stiffened when he found Ervin's sudden attitude. All this time even Ervin did not dare to touch her, but now the man was hugging her with a trembling body. For a while, Laras could only fall silent without being able to return Ervin's embrace or do anything to comfort the man.

"This is my choice for the sake of my children. So, don't thank me," said Laras after a long silence. For some reason, only that word came to mind to respond to Ervin's words. His hand could only squeeze the strands of his clothes as Ervin's embrace spread a sense of comfort in Laras' heart without him being able to control it. There was an urge in his heart to retaliate, but Laras was still reluctant.

"I don't care what reason makes you survive. But, I do have to thank you for that, so I can meet you again at this time. I was so happy when I saw you were okay," Ervin said without letting go of his embrace, even a soft nudge was heard between his words. It seemed that the man was indeed being overwhelmed with happiness.

"I hope you'll give me a chance to heal that wound. I will wait for that time, until anytime," said Ervin again.

Baras exhaled softly, he smiled when he heard Ervin's words that always lead to the same thing. Second chance? Does he have to give it to her? Does Ervin deserve that from him and his kids?

Slowly Baras' hand was raised, he tried to return the man's embrace and pat Ervin's wide back slowly.

"I need time" said Laras lirih.

Ervin nodded, his chin that was leaning on Laras's shoulder moved slowly while saying. "I'll be waiting for you."

"I know." Ervin nodded again, his lip line drawn wide enough when he heard the spoiled tone Laras had long since disappeared from his hearing. "I will wait for you willingly and accept your decision, whatever it is."

Laras took a slow breath and then exhaled before finally nodding slowly while pointing back. "Alright, I won't stand in your way from now on."

Ervin smiled at Laras' words. Although everything is uncertain, but now he has a chance to fix everything. That's enough for him.

...❤‍🩹...

At nine in the morning, Ervin's secretary had already come to pick him up to go to the airport together. However, it turns out the presence of Ervin's secretary even makes Laras surprised not play.

"Emma? How are you?" asked Laras after hugging the woman and making a cipiki.

"I'm good, Madam. Madam how are you?" reply Emma while unraveling her embrace with Laras.

"I'm doing fine. I'm so glad to see you again, Emma. Enter first, we have breakfast together," said Laras very friendly. However, Emma refused subtly, as she had already had breakfast at the hotel before picking up Ervin.

Laras introduces Nevan and Nessa to his former secretary. Emma also apologized for the time when there was a false barrel she couldn't help Laras. After the accident, all the employees who had met with Laras were fired with disrespect, even after they found it difficult to get another job. Fortunately, four years ago Ervin called everyone back to work at the company as he used to.

That morning, Nevan and Nessa really did not want to be separated from Ervin. The two are still not willing to part with their real father. It turned out that the three of them had a very close relationship even though their meeting had not been long. Laras tries to understand, he allows his two children to indulge as much as Ervin before the man leaves again.

"I will miss you so much" whispered Ervin as they were walking at the airport. Laras, Nevan and Nessa decide to deliver Ervin.

Unknowingly, Laras' cheeks seemed to be blushing. A warm breath from Ervin that hit his earlobe was still able to make his heart beat racing. However, Laras chose to remain silent without replying to the man's words. Too embarrassed to express his feelings makes Laras choose to shut up.

"Well, you'll be here again, right?" nessa asked with teary eyes and a red nose because she had been crying ever since, not wanting to be left behind by Ervin.

"Yes, honey. Papah will settle matters there soon and come back here. That's also if your mom allows." The last word he said as he glanced at the face of Laras who was only throwing his face as the answer.

"Can you, Mah?" Nevan who was standing next to Laras pulled the woman's hand. It seemed that the boy was also hoping for Ervin's presence, only that he didn't show it too much like Nessa.

"I'll go first, yeah." Ervin smiled at Laras after the plane that was going to take him to Indonesia was about to fly and the passengers had to get in.

"Don't miss," he continued right in front of Laras' ears, then without guilt he pulled back his body upright and tucked the Barrel's haircut behind the ears.

Laras body sculpting with sweet treatment Ervin. It feels strange even though there is a familiar feeling to spread warm in the heart of the woman who has long felt cold.

However, a moment later Laras smiled in a slant as he approached Ervin and took the man's hand. He looked at Ervin's black irises and said slowly.

"I won't miss you" he said, then peeked at the back of Ervin's hand, as was his custom when they were married.

Ervin's entire body was bristling, as if he was being electrocuted, when his springy and warm lips Laras touched the back of his hand. Nah! This was too extreme, Ervin could not even control himself until his arms stretched out again to hug the woman's body.

"Go there, you'll miss your flight." Baras quickly refused, he thrust the chest of Ervin's field with a sweet smile on his face.

"Dare to tease me, right? Just be careful if I come back later," said Ervin who could not delay his flight again. He gave a light kiss on the heads of his two children, then immediately stepped away with a wave of the hands of Laras, Nevan, and Nessa as his escort.

"I will return for you, the distance that separates us will not be an obstacle, as long as it is you."
