The Love of Mr. Erick
GCTE | Chapter 07

Weekends arrive, right where people who are always busy by their work can relax for a full day.

That's also what is now done by two sticky friendly women since High School, Dea and Elena decided to spend their holidays by watching Korean dramas on their laptops, coincidentally, what they are watching this time is about a family drama with the spice of the comedy scene in it, making their stomachs seem to be shaken until they continue to laugh, accompanied by a variety of snacks that they previously bought at the nearest minimarket.

"Hahaha very funny, not strong." exclaimed Dea with to the bars, just look at the position of the girl sitting, the girl, the feet in the bend one like a thug with a pack of ciki in the hand not to mention his laughing voice that made the atmosphere crowded even though only the two of them were there.

While looking at his friend. Elena seemed to have no spirit of life, despite seeing the laughter of Dea who was wide open but Elena still remained silent, as if the comedy scene shown on the square screen was not funny at all, the actor in the drama is his favorite actor.

Dea realized it, he glanced at the friend and clucked. "Oh come on Elen, till when are you gonna keep quiet? look at him will oppa your beloved, at least smile," said the girl berguyon.

Elena looked at him, looked at Dea with an uninterested look, then laughed flatly as if forced.

"Ha .. ha .. ha .. ha."

Crick! crick! the atmosphere was suddenly silent, Dea blinked a few times and then patted her own eel. "Geez, even kuntilanak insecure hear your laughing voice."

"I'm not excited Dea." Elena pursed her lips. Only to Dea could he reveal his heart.

"Ck, ck you're ugly when you pout that much."

Dea then seemed to think seriously and then like a bright lamp was coming out of his head and he cried out in joy. "Aha, I have an idea, mending us to the mall aja yuk. Shoping shopping, never mind yourself, breathe the air of the mall so as not to mulu."

Elena had not had time to say he said, the sound of the phone ringing shocked them, the two turned simultaneously towards the flat object on the table belonging to Dea that turned vibrating.

"There's a phone call, I pick it up first." exclaimed Dea and Elena just nodded in response.

After she ignored the noise in her ears, Elena was fixated on her past memories with Vicky, to not hear the conversation that happened in the drama they were watching or how carefree Dea was chatting with someone across the phone. Only in silence, Elena closed her eyelids, hoping that the tightness in her chest had now disappeared entirely because she did not want to feel it anymore.

"Elena." a soft clap greeted her back, the girl turned around, knowing Dea was already in front of her with the phone still in hand.

"Yes?" Elena just said slowly, Dea shook her head at how her best friend was like she had no passion for life. He said he wanted to move on, but what is this? haish! Dea made a headache of her own.

"Reza took me out, you want to come?" dea offers.

A moment of silence, Elena replied. " And to be a mosquito repellent among you?"

Reza, Dea's colleague at work, often tells her about this man and Elena guesses that they are in the approach phase, seen from how often Reza took the Dea road even to pick him up directly from them.

"Other than you anyep here, it's okay to come along." exclaimed Dea who had gone to prepare.

"No, I don't want to bother you guys later. Mending you go alone."

"Ish, who else is just walking the usual way anyway." Dea blushed bashfully, Elena shook her head, her friend was still evasive.

"Is it okay to be on your own?" ask Dea again who is now neat to take the bag and his cellphone. Elena was sometimes amazed at how quickly Dea preached herself, unlike her who even needed a lot of time in front of the glass.

"Yes it's okay. Say hello to Reza, do not hang girls people, quickly shoot if not in the cat's mouthpiece."

"ELENA!" Dea misuh-misuh feel insinuated with Elena's words, while the girl just laughs while avoiding the deadly tremors that Dea presents for her.

"Yes there go, Reza hunted to be a fossil waiting for you."

Dea throbbed put back the pillow in her hand. "Yes, be careful here alone."

"Yes, I'd like to visit the parlor anyway, so not alone."

"That's even better" Dea smiled.

"Bayy." said Elena, "Tell Reza what I said yes to." Elena still scoffed.

"LENA!" there was a shrill voice of Dea calling out her name, Elena kept giggling.

After Dea's footsteps were no longer heard, Elena then sat back down with a long sigh, imagining going to the orphanage and seeing the smiles of the children there suddenly warmed her heart, he unconsciously drew a smile.

"I have to buy a lot of snacks and ice cream for them later." he muttered happily. Can't wait to let go of longing after almost a month not visiting the orphanage because of his busyness.

Erick cupped his hands to the face and rubbed it rough, today even the performance of his company decreased, he felt he had to have an idea with a big bang to reduce this decline.

Erick sighed, he put his head on the back of the chair. Lately her thoughts have been chaotic, Elena's absence makes her days almost bad. Like every heartbeat that pumps blood, that's how Elena's for her is so important that she can't be replaced.

Feeling the need for refreshing, Erick walked towards his walk in closet, wearing a casual suit thinking to breathe fresh air out there.

Coming out of his room, one or two passing servants lowered their heads while greeting him, Erick only nodded at a glance in response, coming down the stairs, he was stunned when he saw the crowd below.

"Aaaaa .. That's it he's coming." cried someone.

Mr. Rey Davidson, a native of Uncle Sam's descent, approached his son with a big smile.

"What is this Dad?" Erick furrowed his forehead staring at his father as well as the two people dressed formally in the same.

"Hey, don't you remember me, boy." Someone exclaimed to make Erick turn to him.

"Uncle Ed." Erick looked surprised to see who greeted him.

"Yes it's me. How are you, son?" the middle-aged man whom Erick called uncle immediately hugged him, and patted the man on the shoulder for a moment.

"I'm good. How's uncle?"

"I'm good too."

Then they had a small talk together.

"It's been a long time since I moved to Australia, you've been this big." As for Mr. Edward, one of Erick's father's best friends, he came with his assistant.

"Of course, now that he has replaced me in the company." said Mr. Rey in response, There was a proud tone tucked in there.

"Wow, foul. Later you become a great leader like your father." Old-fangled. Edward again patted Erick proudly on the shoulder.

Erick just smiled down with all that praise.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot to introduce you to someone" Om Ed said again.

Erick stared at the strange lightning in the eyes of the two old men, "Who?"

Om Ed smiled while his father chuckled making Erick in a curious daze.

Then there was something patting him on the shoulder from behind, Erick turned his head.

"Surprise!"

The man's eyes were round.
