Adriana entered the classroom, sitting on her stool with her head on the table. His cheeks clung to the table, exhaling coarse breath. Adriana was upset and confused. Somehow it has to do with Erland next after this.
"Let's talk"
Adriana looked at Erland who was standing next to her desk. Not intending to answer him, Adriana just kept quiet still with the same position.
"You should know what's going on, so we need to talk"
Adriana lifted her face from the table, she leaned back on the seat. Staring at Erland closely. "No need, I'll be in class soon. You better get out, the lecturer will be here soon"
Sure enough, at that time a lecturer had entered Adriana's class. Erland sighed, inevitably she had to leave from there immediately. "I'll wait for you when I get home"
Adriana did not reply, she just stared at the straight back of Erland who was out of her class.
And for this second class, Adriana really could not focus on the Lecturer's explanation. His thoughts were only on Erland and the woman who had met his lover.
Ck. She was beautiful, even if Brother Erland turned away from me for her. Very reasonable.
With such a chaotic focus, Adriana was finally able to get through the class today. He's out of class. And just stepping away from the classroom, his hand was already in check by someone. Adriana turned her head and immediately sighed when she knew who was blocking her hand.
"What else do you want?"
"Follow me"
Erland pulled Adriana's hand, taking her to the campus parking lot. Open the car door and tell Adriana to come in. Can't resist, Adriana just complies. He was lazily arguing with Erland. His mind is fucked right now.
"What do you want to say? I'm in a hurry to get to work"
Erland looked at Adriana, obviously her lover was angry and upset at her. It must be because of Yola's unexpected arrival. "You why the hell? I didn't know he was coming. After all, my relationship with him had ended a long time ago. I'm just yours now"
Adriana smiled wryly hearing that. He clearly remembered Erland's remarks while at the campus rufftop. "Not that Big Brother is confused by Brother's own feelings. Brother alone is not sure of Brother's own feelings. So, I can't keep going with people who aren't sure of their own feelings. I don't want to be just an impingement"
Erland was speechless hearing it, she frowned in confusion. He did not understand what Adriana meant. Clearly Erland has been very confident in his feelings for Adriana. But, why did Adriana even say that. Until Erland recalled her conversation with Riki this afternoon.
I don't know, I'm confused about my feelings too. That's why I was hesitant when I expressed love for Adriana. Because I still believe this feeling, is it true that I love her or is it just an impingement after she leaves.
"You hear what I said at the rufftop?"
Adriana was just silent, she turned her face away with eyes that started to glaze over. However, he still held back his tears from dripping.
He is distressed by all this, about Papa forbidding him to continue his relationship with Erland. Not to mention about his past which until at any time will remain the background of the story in his life and the views of people. And now, the woman in the man's past came. And Erland's words while at the campus rufftop really made Adriana a little want to give up with all her struggles so far.
"If you did hear my words on the rufftop, then you didn't hear it until it was over. Honey..." Erland held onto both of Adriana's arms, looking at the girl's eyes fixedly. "...I was not sure of my feelings. But, after I saw you so close to another man. My heart doesn't like to see it. And I'm now conscious and totally convinced that my feelings for you are love. I'm absolutely sure of how I feel right now"
Adriana was silent, she looked into Erland's eyes and indeed did not see the lie behind the man's gaze. "Then, what about that beautiful woman?"
Adriana's feelings and heart started to calm down when she heard Erland's explanation just now. This may not be the last issue in their relationship. But, at least Erland had said what the truth was. Right now he just wants to be with Adriana. The woman he loves.
Erland pulled Adriana into his arms, kissing the top of the girl's head gently. "I'm sorry I haven't told you about a woman in my past. He was my first love, but he also created the first wound in my heart. So, I hope that right now you will heal that wound"
Adriana nodded, then she looked up to stare at her lover's face fixedly. "May I be able to cure him"
"Surely you can, for my heart has become yours"
Adriana smiled at him. "But I want to hear your story with your ex-boyfriend. I want to know what hurt you because of him, so that someday I won't do the same"
Erland smiled, she again kissed the top of her lover's head. "Now you don't have to work, we go to the apartment and I'll tell you everything. What you ask I'll answer you as best I can"
Adriana broke her embrace, she let out a heavy sigh. "No way, I still have to work. If I mostly skip work, I'm afraid he's fired again. I still need this job. I'll take a day off"
"When are you on vacation?"
"Emmm. I haven't taken a holiday in three weeks. So, it looks like this week I can take a day off"
Erland looked at her lover with concern. The spoiled girl had turned into an independent and hardworking figure. He no longer seemed to know fatigue.
Erland stroked Adriana's head lovingly. "Aren't you tired, why don't you take a day off every week?"
Adriana smiled, actually a smile that hid a lot of hurt and sadness. However, the spoiled Adriana has now turned into a class working Adriana. He did not have time, even just to complain about his fatigue.
"I have to work hard so as not to continue to trouble Brother Tyas and Papa. I don't want to be a burden on their lives"
There was a bitter tone from Adriana's words just now. Erland knew that this girl was just a child who was a victim of the selfishness of her mother. So he's innocent. Especially with Adriana now, she had already completely turned into an independent girl figure. Not the spoiled girl like before.
"You're not a burden to anyone. And from now on, if you need help talk to me. Don't just hold it yourself"
Adriana smiled and nodded, although she would actually try not to trouble Erland or share her predicament with the man. Being loved like this by Erland alone was already very lucky for Adriana. So, he would not give Erland such a heavy burden because of his complicated life.
"Yaudah, then let me take you to your place of work"
Adriana nodded "Thank you yes"
"It's my duty as your lover"
The car drove off the campus grounds. Towards work Adriana.
