The Broken Ring's
The Broken Ring's

People say that the greatest suffering is prolonged regret. That's what Erick is feeling. Tightly in the chest because of the endless regret it seemed so reluctant to stay away from him. A thousand words if it continued to dance around in the man's mind, making him slowly feel frustrated. If he had not crossed the line when he was in a relationship with Larisa, so Larisa did not need to abort her womb which resulted in the destruction of the woman's uterus. If he hadn't hated Lalita so much and treated her better, Lalita wouldn't have had to feel her baseless humiliation. If the situation is not as complicated as this, so there is a way for him to re-engage the ex-wife. Suppose ....

In the end, Erick was tired of wondering and pulled himself back to the current reality. The fact that the road between him and Lalita was wrong from the beginning. Maybe they are not meant to be friends.

Erick let out a deep breath and looked around. He must not show a sad face in the midst of a happy atmosphere like now, because this is the most special day for his ex-wife.

Yes, it was Lalita and Rainer's wedding day.

Erick came in wearing the same suit as Kalandra. They look compact. In fact, he also tried to smile as well as Kalandra who felt happy because her mother and daddy became a bride. Erick kept trying to convince his heart if he was happy too. Ah, but apparently pretending to be happy is very difficult. Erick almost gave up and was about to step aside, but he did not because Kalandra was prancing with excitement when someone led Lalita into the room where the wedding procession would be held.

"Pa, look at Mama, Pa! Look Mama!" point Kalandra towards Lalita.

Of course Erick looked directly at the tip of Kalandra's index finger. Lalita looks so pretty. But unfortunately, today he appeared as an angel not as his bride Erick, but a bride for Rainer.

"Beauty mom, huh, Pa?" Kalandra asked cheerfully, not realizing the slightest bit of papa's heartache. Well, what little boy knows the affairs of an adult's heart.

"Pa, Mama's pretty, right?" Kalandra asked once again because Erick had not answered the previous question.

"Yes. Mama Kalan is beautiful." Erick finally replied in a bitter tone. He remembered his wedding day with Lalita. The day he considered the worst day of his life. The day when his dream of a match with Larisa must be broken, and it makes his heart so hate the figure of Lalita, the woman he had to marry.

At that time, Lalita also appeared as a very stunning bride, but Erick did not even want to look at her. The thing that finally now adds to the long list of regrets in Erick's day for the former. Make him repeat the word once more in his mind.

"Well, great. Mama and Daddy are really brides." Kalandra clapped her hands cheerfully, making Erick close his eyes for a moment while sighing slowly.

Lalita and Rainer's wedding procession begins. The atmosphere turned so solemn. Erick's hand felt cold and trembling, as if the world around him was about to collapse.

"Sir Erick is sick?" The voice of someone's question that sounded half whispered spread the contents of Erick's head.

Erick. He almost forgot if coming to the event today was not alone, but brought along one of his employees because they could not if they had to come alone.

"Your face is very pale, sir. Can I get you some water?" ask Erick's employees again. The young girl appeared to show a worried look.

"Papa sick?" This time Kalandra asked.

Erick's hurry shook his head.

"Father it's okay" said Erick. "No need to worry, Shelin. I'm okay." Erick also answered his employees.

The girl named Shelin nodded, although she was sure Erick was not okay.

Erick straightened his back and tried to act ordinary. Moments later, Lalita and Rainer's wedding procession is completed. Both men were declared legal as husband and wife. The two of them were then escorted to sit in the hall. Kalandra also soon followed there at Lalita's request.

Erick looked from afar with a feeling he could not describe. He wanted to be happy, but his heart felt miserable.

"Mama called you to take a photo together" Larisa told me.

"Ah, yes." That's all that can come out of Erick's mouth. He really wanted to refuse. What if the appearance of his tangled face will be printed clearly at the moment of Lalita's wedding. It's gonna be an unpleasant thing.

"Kalan is waiting. He wants to take pictures with you too he said, "Larisa added.

This time Erick couldn't resist. He also agreed while getting up from his seat.

Larisa leaves after Erick agrees to take a picture together. The girl who until now still continues to be alone is indeed as if to keep a distance with Erick after having a surgical removal of the uterus several years ago. He was the burden of Erick's biggest regret so that the man did not dare to fantasize about giving Lalita again.

Erick bid farewell to Shelin before finally stepping towards the pelaminan. With all her heart trying to strengthen, she also took pictures with Rainer, Lalita and Kalan while showing a smile as sweet as possible. After that, Erick also congratulated the newlyweds.

Aw, Lalita. Her smile really looks bright. Kalandra looks the same. Even Larisa who put a flat and cold face in front of Erick, while taking pictures together also looks very happy. Everyone is happy today, except for her.

Erick can't take it anymore. His chest felt tight again. He said goodbye and dragged his steps away from the cover. No matter how far Erick went, he came to one corner of the place where people didn't go.

Erick's legs finally stopped. He was filled with a look that looked empty. Unknowingly his hand reached into the pocket of his pants and took out an object from there. The thing that was the ring that he had once pinned on Lalita's ring finger on their wedding day, but then Lalita returned it to him because of the bitter reality that was finally known by the woman.

Erick's eyes began to heat up as he stared at the ring. The glint of all the harsh treatment and humiliation he had thrown at Lalita when she was his wife, now filled his memory like a replayed movie. Two years Lalita became his wife, two years also he hated and act arbitrarily to Lalita. Even when forced to hook Lalita, she imagined Larisa's face. Erick's hand shook from remembering the memory, so the ring in his hand fell rolling in any direction.

Erick's defense finally collapsed. He's outmatched. Cry broke. The regretful cry that sounded so heartbreaking.

"Sir Erick. Father here apparently." A call from behind Erick made the man clench his mouth for a moment. The voice belonged to Shelin.

"The father dropped something" Shelin said again.

Erick finally turned his body towards Shelin. Suddenly the girl was surprised to see Erick's tearful face.

Shelin approached and looked at Erick with a look of disbelief.

"Sir Erick? Father why?" ask Shelin.

Erick did not answer. He mutely looked at Shelin. The next second, Shelin was more surprised when Erick dropped his forehead on the girl's shoulder while back in awe.

Connect ....

Wow, it turns out that many love the same Erick, yes wkwkwk. Create a referring team, be patient .. be patient .. this is a test. Why Erick is not made to refer to Lalita, because it is the middle ground that will make them all really happy in the end. If you reverse, it will not be anyone who really feels happy, because there is a burden of guilt from each character.

For those who think it's not fair, why Erick himself who seems to suffer, others are happy. Even Arfan was given a second chance. Relax guys, this is just a happy Lalita part. Later Erick, even Larisa there is a moment of happiness. For Arfan, he can't be equated with Erick. Even though his actions seem a lot evil, but he has a lot of contribution in Riani's life. He has contributed a lot to Riani and Larisa, even to Erick. Maybe it's Aaron to Zaya. Unlike Erick who has no contribution whatsoever in Lalita's life. That's just wkwkwk.

Thank you for all the support, my dear.
