The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 107

"Hhhh .. I've guessed your answer remains the same." Clarissa chuckled more visibly she was holding back her grief that was struggling to get out. Roughly wiping away the tears on her cheeks, she smiled as if nothing had happened, as if what she had just asked had never been said from her mouth.

"All right, I'm gonna close your wound so it doesn't get infected." Clarissa resumed what she was doing earlier, but her hands were blocked by Erick.

The man stared at Clarissa's eyes.

"Grad ... " Erick shook his head slowly, as if from his gaze asking for Clarissa to stop for a strong pretender.

"Go back, don't waste your time here" Erick added.

"Why? I want to see my best friend, is that wrong?"

"Don't Clar." this time Erick pressed his words. "Don't hide what's now in your heart. Just tell me if I'm the jerk who keeps hanging your hopes, honestly I can't kick you out of my life, you mean it to me, you mean it to me, but I also can't accept your feelings if forced it's the same way I lied to you. I don't want to hurt you, Clar."

The sobs that Clarissa had originally endured now finally came out as well, similar to the flood that fell from above the sky.

"Dumbass! you're a jerk!" swearing Clarissa with her burning net from crying, she hit Erick's shoulder to vent her stifled emotions.

"Why is it so easy for you to break in and steal my heart without being able to take it back? hiks .. You know this love really tortures me!"

"I'm sorry" Erick said more and more mellow, as if drifting in the old feelings Clarissa had experienced. Patiently he faced the woman's emotional uncontrollability, tried to hold Clarissa's arm and then hurriedly pulled the woman in a hold.

In Erick's warm chest, Clarissa began to be able to hold back her emotions. Issues that originally sounded tight now began to subside, his heart that was crumpled dim was trying to he rearrange, even though it was actually difficult. Under the comfort of Erick's sturdy arm, Clarissa was getting late, she buried her face to feel that warmth and comfort for longer.

"You're beautiful, you're famous Clar, you can choose any guy who fits your criteria don't keep obsessing over me. Promise me after this, you'll have to go and start your own life."

Clarissa who did not fully hear what Erick said just nodded.

"I love you like a best friend and a big brother to you."

Just the sentence that Erick just finished saying began to hear clearly. Apparently Erick still has his affection for her, that's very good news.

But however, recalling the words of aunt Sarah and Mona who supported her to fight for her love, Clarissa so think again. He wants more than just the affection that Erick expresses.

Clarissa is no longer her former self. He who has been contaminated with the words of Sarah and Mona now seems to want to justify all means so that Erick can be his.

"Look, I'll separate you and Elena. you are only mine."

Quietly Clarissa commented on the eerie semric smile.

...***...

This afternoon, he was on the side of the road right his big shophouse was being worked on to become his cake figure later. There are many artisans at the direction of Mr. Joko who surrounds it at this time, also mbok Can, Siska and Tiara who are rejoicing after seeing the final stages of character development.

Amidst the soaring euphoria, Elena felt hollow. His mind was fixed on Erick without feeling it.

How's the guy doing? Did Erick eat? after not seeing each other for so long, Erick grew thinner as he watched, did the man eat well and live a healthy life?

Such thoughts and conjectures continued to surround his brain at this moment. Elena was made restless but helpless.

"Sir .. "the clap right on her back from the side made Elena startled, she spontaneously turned her head to realize Siska was already in front of her and smiled.

"Why? from earlier looks daydreaming?" ask the girl.

Elena turned her head slowly. "No. Brother is okay."

"If there is a problem of story, brother. I know we haven't known for a long time, Siska is also still adapting to work with her sister. But Siska is comfortable being around sister and honestly Siska wants to be closer to sister. So if you need a friend, never feel hesitant to contact Siska yes, because honestly in addition to being a superior and subordinate, Siska also wants to be a friend for sister Elen."

Hearing her Elena felt moved, she rubbed the sweet black girl's long hair while smiling in the shade.

True, because he was too busy with his thoughts, he forgot the people around him who always supported and with him. Elena didn't want to be that selfish person, no matter what was in front of her now she had to come first.

"There is no name for Siska's superiors and subordinates. You already consider your brother as your own sister. True you said that even though we have recently known brother so much, it is comfortable to be close to you. Only a few things that you ask for are still cheerful Siska, and be earnest when you start working later so that you can see your potential and performance, and most importantly, see your potential, always keep your brother's trust for you. You're so young and you're still so long, I believe you're gonna be a big man."

"Aamiin's."

Siska loudly guaranteed everything Elena said.

"Thank you for your trust in you, brother. I will definitely do my best" said the girl with every sentence she emphasized and a confident smile.

"Akh, I'm getting emotional brother. Rarely does anyone say well to me like a sister. I'm just an overseas kid and I haven't got a job in this town. Thank you for accepting me sister, hiks ... " Siska rubbed the tail of her eyes which suddenly let out a tear, a tear, he was moved and grateful to be able to find Elena as a helper of his life and did not expect there were still people as good as him in this hard world.

"No, don't cry." Elena even chuckles amusedly not expecting also Siska who is extroverted and always hyper-active has a sensitive side as well like this.

"Let's go inside, the others are waiting," Elena's son later, seen inside the shophouse that will be the character of the cake has now gathered people who are chatting.

"Yes my brother." replied Siska nodding then the two stepped together.

Elena hopes that with the people who are always together beside her and always support her at this time, she can start a new page with full of joy and happiness that accompanies.
