Aira's Choice Man

Eps 13's

Aira was just about to go to sleep when her phone vibrated displaying Erigo's name on her screen. Aira stepped slowly down from her bed for fear of waking up Winne who had just fallen asleep.

Aira brought her phone to the living room. "Hello".

"Aira, it's me" Erigo said.

Aira smiled faintly "I know" She said briefly.

"What are you doing? Is my phone bothering you?" Ask Erigo.

"No problem. Winne was staying here, and she was already asleep in the room" Aira said softly.

"Is he okay?" Ask.

Aira glimpsed at the door of the room "He's fine. I guess"

"You taste?" Erigo shut up for a moment. "Did he say something? About Yansen?"

Aira sighs. "He didn't say anything to me. It seems he hasn't talked about it. So I'm not forcing" said Aira weakly.

"You're worried about him, aren't you?" Guess Erigo.

Aira looked down at the floor. The floor needs a mop, he thought. "Of course" he said without energy. "The Winne I know is not a weak girl. But today I saw it as if I was going to cry" Aira said sadly.

"You're a good friend of Aira's" Erigo said in praise. "So don't be sad."

"I know, thank you" replied Aira.

"You don't have to worry too much. Yansen is not a bad guy. He just.. I don't know.. He just has dry emotions. He's also been flirting about since. I think it also affected him" Erigo said cautiously. He doesn't want to sound too impartial.

Aira pouted "Really? Yansen told you something?" Tanya Aira was curious.

"He's not that open. But stop worrying. They are two grown men. They will definitely solve the problem themselves" Erigo said trying to calm down

"Alright" replied Aira.

There's silence at the end there.

"I miss you." Erigo's voice was slow.

Aira fell silent. Erigo's words were too sudden.

"I'm near your house. Will you come out for a minute and see me?" Pinta Erigo's.

Aira bit her lip "Where are you?" tanyanya.

"I'm in the park near your house"

"alright. I'll be in five minutes" Aira said, turning off the phone and picking up her jacket and walking out.

Aira walked towards the park. His eyes were fixed on a tall man, wearing a hooded black jacket, hat and mask to cover his face. He stood leaning against a tree. Fold your hands on your chest and cross your legs. Even his silhouette looked handsome under the light of the lamp, thought Aira.

Aira ran towards Erigo. "What are you doing out here?" Ask Aira. "Where's your car" he asked again because he didn't see Erigo's vehicle anywhere. 

Erigo smiled through his eyes. Approaching Aira then slowly grabbed the tiny body of Aira into her arms. Erigo must be very careful. Because if he doesn't, Aira will run away scared and he will lose the girl. "I took a taxi" he said indifferently.

Erigo loosened his embrace without releasing Aira. Just locked the little girl inside his arms. "Have you had dinner?" Ask.

Aira put both her hands in her jacket pocket. He answered "already". Aira then looked up at Erigo. "What about you?"

"I have too" he said.

Erigo again hugged Aira gently, briefly swinging her around. She whispered in Aira's ear "I really want to kiss you, but I can't take my mask off in public".

Aira shuddering. "You're a terrible person" he said, trying to escape.

Erigo chuckled "No. I'm a normal human being" he said again. "You got a Friday night?" Tanya Erigo let go of her embrace.

Aira looked up. That's one more week. "Why is that?"

Aira smiled amusedly "Alright" she replied.

Long Erigo looked at Aira. Down her smooth cheeks. This girl ran towards him exactly five minutes like he said. It didn't take much longer to dress her up like the other women she'd ever known. Aira just appeared as it was.

Erigo swept a pinch of hair from Aira's face with his fingers.  His gaze fell on Aira's natural red lips.

Eyes glittering. "Aira's oath, I can die if I don't do this" he said as he pulled down his hat, bowing his head towards Aira.

Just before their lips met, Erigo pulled down his mask. Erigo kissed. Again.

_____________________________________

Aira could still feel Erigo on her lips. It could still faintly sniff Erigo's masculine scent while breathing air into his lungs. Aira had never been drunk and had no idea what it was like to be drunk, but maybe that was what she was feeling right now. Drunk-ass.

"You happy?" Said Winne sharply.

Aira jumped in her place. He completely forgot there was a Winne in his house. "Damn you Anantha" Desis Aira called her best friend's last name. "You should be able to turn on the lights" Aira said.

Winne laughed out loud at Aira's expression. "I'm sorry Aira... Jeez your face.. " His speech was laughing at Aira.

Winne had not long woken up from thirst. He went out of Aira's room to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Winne did not find Aira in her room nor in all parts of the house, so she suspected Aira was out. Maybe to the mini market.

Then Aira came home with a blushing face, and suspicious behavior.

"Tell me, Martha. Which guy did you meet this night?" Cetus Winne drops himself on the couch.

Aira grimaces "You alone? What happened between you and Yansen?" Aira's question shifted the conversation and sat down beside Winne.

Winne shrugged her shoulders "The story is long" said winne evasively.

Aira raised her chin. "And I have a lot of time until tomorrow morning, so I will listen to that long story" Aira insisted not to lose.

Winne bit her lip "We broke off" she replied. Short, solid, clear.

Aira blinked her eyes. Aira had no idea about Winne being in a relationship with Yansen. But he won't ask about it now. He will only be a good listener. "What's the cause?" Ask.

Winne scolded. "You know Aira, Yansen is very jealous and possessive. He always complained that I was close to someone in the company. While he himself was always close to his female juniors and I never complained about it."

No. gabe. Aira didn't know that at all, of course. Yansen always seemed serious, authoritative and difficult to approach. Aira didn't think she had that side in her.

Aira watched Winne. The girl was very sad this afternoon. "Then what happened?" Ask Aira again.

Winne shrugged her shoulders. "We had a big fight and broke up."

Aira quiet.

"I left him." Added quickly.

"Of course" Aira nodded.

"I can't take it anymore. So i'm.. I left it." Winne's voice vibrated. "Then.. Her.. He started crying and begging." Winne sobbed.

Oh, poor Winne. Aira hugged her best friend with a sweetie. "It's okay. You can cry. Cry until you're satisfied" she said gently as she rubbed Winne's back.

On his sobs, Winne said. "I love her Aira. And I hurt her by leaving her alone" Winne snatched the tissue and stuffed her nose.

'Love'. It was very new for Aira.

Aira was unable to speak. Just trying to calm his best friend. Aira knew Winne well. The girl did not easily give her heart to any man. But if that happens, Aira can make sure that it is not a playful relationship.

Aira looked at Winne fixedly. "Listen to me Anantha. I know you very well. If you say you love her, why don't you just go back to her? Repair your relationship with him. Pity that poor guy. Forgive him." Persuade Aira.

Winne shook her head strongly. "I don't want to" he said back sobbing.

He said 'no'. But Aira felt that Winne's words were against her own heart.

"Not even a single thought by you that.. That maybe you're lying to yourself?" Gentle Aira's speech.
