The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 24

Erick exits the room in neat formal attire, the plan is today he will see his employees who are on the list for a luxury cruise vacation before they leave. Because Erick was the one who initially wanted to help undo his intentions because Elena did not come, that's because he just went to check. But just as his feet were about to step onto the steps of the stairs, master Rey confronted him, his father stared intently at him.

"Somebody wants you to talk to Erick."

***

And here they are, in the soundproof room between rows of shelves full of books, Erick's most comfortable place to spend time, also a great place to talk about important things.

"One month has passed by Erick, when are you going to tell me your decision on this matchmaking plan?" ask the father who is now standing behind Erick.

"I think papa understood. I completely reject this match!" loud Erick.

"Erick Davidson!" Mr. Rey snapped. Erick knew very well, if the father had mentioned his full name, then he was really on the verge of patience.

"How many times has your matchmaking plan been done for you? you always refuse and refuse! can't you just say this time? It's all for your own good."

"Pah .. I also have the right to choose my own escort candidate!" Erick. Already can not stand the invisible chain that his father gave makes him must always be like a obedient puppy. Now no longer, he wants to be free from the shadow of the father.

"Ah, yes papa knows." Mr. Rey turned around, looking at him.

"Clarissa says you love other people so much that you dare to reject a woman as beautiful as her."

"What kind of girl do you love? to make my son defy like this?" there was a mocking tone tucked away as Rey sir said that sentence.

"What about telling her papa will bless our relationship?" erick looked at me as if in disbelief.

There was laughter from Mr. Rey, the middle-aged man looked more friendly now, unlike earlier. Erick thought his father would be so angry when he found out he was refusing this match because there was another girl he loved.

"Of course, papa will select the eligibility of the girl first, about finally papa bless you or not? it depends on how good the girl is to be Davidson's respectable daughter-in-law!" flatter Mr. Rey at the end of his speech feeling cool.

Erick let out a sigh, then he fell silent and looked away until when the shadow of Elena's face was in his mind.

"She's a simple pah girl. His face is firm, his attitude is always professional, sometimes he can be very serious but can make people laugh at one time. She was the girl who managed to make me fall in love with first sight."

There was a bright twinkle in Erick's eyes when he told her about how the girl he loved was.

"Wait .. "the voice of Mr. Rey interrupts, making Erick stop and look at his father at a glance.

"Not that kind of answer you want. Papa asked you to explain his origins, where did he come from? which family did his parents come from? what company does his father work for? papah wants clear origins about the girl."

Erick. Not knowing about the world is what the father wants the answer to.

"No matter where the reward comes from, I obviously love him. I told you she was just a simple girl, her parents were gone, she lived with a caretaker who loved her very much and with other children who fared the same as her. Her life is far from glamorous and luxurious like any other woman out there. But his heart was so sincere and so kind, as much as possible he would make people smile with his mannerisms. He's a miracle.the miracle God sent for me was also for the people who knew him."

Master Rey's hand clenched tightly growling irritated the wrathful fury seen on her face.

"Hearing your explanation, it's already very clear that girl is no match for you at all!"

"Western you're a prince and he's a commoner, it's obvious the difference between you!"

And it's true Erick's guess.

"Papa decided! you need to stay with Clarissa, she's the only one who fits you, nothing else!" ultimatum Mr. Rey, be firm.

***

For several days Elena painstakingly took care of Ratna's mother, there is Marvin who is ready to check the situation of the fragile woman even Marvin who facilitates Ms. Ratna in the hospital in the form of VVIP rooms and the best service.

"The conditions are getting lower."

Elena gasped with the young doctor's words. "Don't do anything, for God's sake!" elena said a little hysterical because she was worried, grateful that there was always a loyal Bagas beside the girl, accompanying and strengthening her.

"You take it easy, me and the rest of the team of doctors will ensure your recovery."

Finally the only way is surgery. With all the requirements that exist after doing all the procedures, the frail body of Ratna bu lay in the gurney with all the medical devices supporting his life.

From morning until night, Elena did not move at all, she faithfully accompanied beside the stiffened body. Crying, that was all he could do with all the prayers he always recited asking God for the healing of the woman who had cared for him.

Finally, after getting permission and all procedures passed, Ms. Ratna is ready to perform the operation. His body covered in green cloth was moved to the ICU cold room.

"Sir .. save mother." beg Elena with sobs. Marvin paled, he looked at the girl.

"Ask the Lord, for he is the giver of life. Pray always." Marvin releases Elena's hand, and goes into the operating room.

Elena fell, she was crushed along with the door of the ICU room that was sealed shut. Before long, Bagas came with his parents.

Looking at the slumped Elena, Bagas immediately approached, swiftly hugging the girl, letting Elena spill a cry on her chest. Even with the two parents Bagas who joined in the group hugged their son's back.

***

The ICU is not open until midnight. Elena was rather calm even though the girl's tears did not stop flowing. He once opened his voice only to ask about the state of the home.

"Just calm down, both my parents were there to look after them," Bagas replied as Elena asked about the state of the children in the orphanage.

Shortly after that brief chat, suddenly the door of the operating room opened, the two people gasped. Elena advanced first with all of her heart.

"How's mommy doing? everything went well, right?"

The one asked was silent. Marvin stood stiff after removing the mask and both of his gloves.

"Sir, don't shut up!" elena was impatient.

"I'm sorry, Elena. But the Lord willed otherwise, Mother Ratna was already at ease by His side."
