The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 36

The girl in two braids with still wearing her school uniform was panicking instead of playing, her pretty face turned pias when she found out that the bike she was riding accidentally hit the hood of a front car parked on the edge near a highway restaurant.

"Well, the car's chafing again, which looks expensive." He murmured anxiously. Fear seemed to envelop him.

More and more people look towards her at this time making the girl who will graduate from her High School education level also have a bad idea that appears suddenly in her brain.

Not wanting to be in jail, that's his fear right now. He remembered the advice of Ratna's mother, his foster mother, since he was a child and in his belief until now that if you deliberately make someone's goods damaged then you have to apologize and want to be responsible or you will be in prison. Then he had no choice but to follow the idea in his head.

The girl took out a paper and pen, she then reached into the pocket of her white uniform that began to look yellowish, there was fifty thousand money there.

"When this is my first salary to work part time in his saung Susi." He was disappointed, but had no other choice.

He put the blue money on the paper using the tape in his bag, and wrote the words of apology underneath.

After finishing then he glanced left and right after feeling safe he put a paper that already contained his apology and money for his loss in the body of the car that he accidentally hit to cause the gurat blisters are quite elongated there.

"May the owner see." Mumbled the girl. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" he said again, then he walked away as if nothing had happened.

Waiting quite far from where it was originally, waiting for the owner of the expensive car to come. But unfortunately when the car owner approached his car was, the girl could not see more clearly because a fairly crowded pedestrian suddenly made his view blocked.

Until when he could see back, the car and the owner had left the area, making the girl sigh long and choose to leave.

Elena smiled amusedly as she recalled the funny and tense moment for her. And Erick has resurrected the almost faded memories of his memory.

"God is sometimes funny, meeting two people in an unusual way." His mind shook slowly.

"Why? You remember that moment clearly now?" Erick asked looking at Elena who was just smiling.

The girl nodded funny. "I remember her. It will be a sweet memory I will never forget."

Erick took the girl's hand, kissed her softly and rubbed her affectionately.

"Today three years passed after I found you back. My lost soulmate. I purposely made it easy for you to work for the company, so that I would get closer to you, get closer to you, get to know you, and make me even more confident that I could spend the rest of my life with you," erick said with a soft word.

"But why didn't you say it from the beginning? Even when I have a lover and have a long relationship. Mas remained silent not showing any liking at all, so I would never know if Erick liked me." Elena said with slightly pursed lips.

Erick thins his lips looking at it. There was a strange sense of fun when Elena was already blatantly calling 'gold' for him. Making Erick's taste in his wife was getting soaring.

"Because I want to naturally approach you. I don't want to force you at all. I told you you're happy, that's enough for me."

Unknowingly Elena's eyes dewy because of the man's sweet words. "Thank you. I've never had this much love and affection from a man" Elena said.

"Don't cry. Today is your happy day, no tears." Erick's thumb wiped Elena's wet cheeks.

"Since long ago, I've wanted to put this hairpin back on the owner." Erick said as he looked at the tiny object in his hand.

"Now the opportunity is in front of my eyes. Can I put this hairpin on you?"

"Pretty." One word from Erick has represented all, he gently rubbed long brown hair belonging to Elena where the hairpin is now attached to the temple of the wife.

...***...

Erick still has one more surprise for his soul mate, he takes Elena to the middle of the ballroom hall where there is a piano there.

He let go of his grip on Elena, though, then sit on the chair that has been prepared and had time to throw a smile on his wife at a glance then his fingers now start playing on each piano keys create beautiful melodies that begin to echo in the whole hall.

Elena's amazed. He closed his eyes enjoying every amazing note of Erick's piano playing.

I never knew if he was good at the piano, Elena muttered, a little surprised to know one fact from Erick that he previously did not know after a long time on the side of the man as his assistant first.

"Can you sing?" erick paused his play on the piano keys.

"b- singing?" Elena shook her head violently. "I can't."

Erick put on a smile. "Don't lie. I know you're the most talented singer I've ever known."

Elena's cheeks meet. "D-where can mas judge it? have you ever seen me sing?"

There was a little bit of a nagging sound of the man. " I always knew honey. Nothing about you has ever escaped my attention."

Elena lowered her head with both of her cheeks flushed against the tomatoes.

"You singing? I'll play the melody."

Finally they duet with Elena who sings her favorite song (Line without a hoox-Ricky Montgomery) and Erick who plays her tone on every piano key she presses creates a romantic feel that will give her a sense of romance it makes anyone fascinated to see it.

It was as if there was an invisible common thread circling the two at this moment, tying them in an everlasting love affair.

"Can you promise me something?" elena's beautiful eyes seemed to roll in doubt, between being fascinated with Erick's performance after he finished playing such an amazing piano, and between his requests this time that might just offend Erick.

"Tell me," said Erick cupping one side of Elena's cheek with his big hand, stroking lovingly.

"I was traumatized by a relationship. So can we start this household slowly, and please there is no such thing as betrayal, because I have been hurt by it," Elena said with her puppy eyes that seemed so longing and pleading.

Erick sneers slowly, knowing it's not easy for Elena to rise from her slump about her failed relationship and her trauma of betrayal.

"I promise there will be no betrayal. And we're gonna start this relationship slowly, don't rush it because I want you to feel comfortable."

Elena smiled haru. "Thank you." He immediately entered the warm embrace of the man's body and Erick kissed his head many times.

"I promise I will always make you happy" Erick said in his heart.
