Come A Closer Love's

And now Marwah sat pensively on her bed. He still felt like a dream.
" Be mine, Marwah," Erwin.
Erwin's words continued to ring in Marwah's head.
" What am I doing??, " said Marwah speaking to himself. When he was about to get up from his seat, he suddenly stopped when he felt Erwin's suit fall off his shoulder. And he slowly grabbed Erwin's suit that had the fragrance of Erwin's masculine body.
Marwah looked at the suit, and again the shadow of Erwin's warm embrace on his body appeared again. Until he finally breathed.
" It looks like I'm going crazy??, ah, am I really crazy, until I receive the Director's confession ?? " he said as he reached for a towel to take a bath so that his body was fresh and his head was cold.
It took 20 minutes, Marwah calmed herself in the bathroom with the warm shower that soaked her body. Under the shower, his mind flew somewhere. And Erwin's serious face really continues to disturb Marwah's mind. He also doubted himself.
Until when going to sleep, Marwah can not really close his eyes. Many times he turned back his body but never sleepy.
Erwin's words continued to ring in Marwah's head.
" Eyes, I beg to fall asleep, so that tomorrow this thought will return to normal, "he murmured to himself, and drew a blanket to cover his whole body.
🍃🍃🍃
On the other hand, Erwin who just finished bathing also continued to look smiling. He still felt the happiness he finally got. His confession was really what he had expected all along. Marwah's face continues to be imagined in his head, even the slender body of Marwah as if he can still feel.
And and somehow Erwin smiled to himself, remembering the expression of Marwah's face that was surprised at the recognition of his love for the woman he had been looking for.
" At last, I got her, " said Erwin proudly. Then he walked out of the room to his kitchen, and opened the refrigerator door while taking mineral water and gulped slowly. And he accidentally saw the Marwah supply box that he still has not returned. The last box of supplies, when Mama Erwin entered the hospital.
He grabbed the box, and remembered the box of supplies that once a long-haired little girl gave him, which contained chocolate cookies.
" It's really special, " said Erwin smiling. Then he let out a long breath as he walked back to his room.
Erwin also threw himself in his king size mattress, as he grabbed his cellphone lying beside his bed table on the charger. He opened the phone screen with a little surprise when he saw 30 phone calls from Suci, 5 from Secretary Chandra and some of his friends Johan and Mama.
" Well !!" he said spontaneously who was surprised to see the amount of contact that entered but not one he raised it. Because he had been really focused on Marwah until he left everything .
Then he felt funny himself, since meeting Marwah and knowing the identity of Marwah's past which is the daughter he had been looking for all this time. He was not so focused on work.
And tired, he just put the phone without interest to find more info. But suddenly, he grabbed his phone back, then opened the messaging application and looked for Marwah's contacts. Then Erwin quickly typed a message for Marwah with a smile looking at her mobile screen.
" May, sweet dreams, Marwah, "Erwin.
And without realizing Erwin laughed at himself, the thing that was never imagined by him would be so adoring this heart adoration. Slowly Erwin tries to sleep fast, so that tomorrow morning he can meet the woman he loves.
🍃🍃🍃
The next morning, Marwah who can not sleep all night managed to wake up faster than the chicken. He went down to make some bread. Today he also makes bread with 2 special flavors.
Marwah tried to drown her mind by focusing on making bread that was different from normal. Marwah starts from half 4 am, until without feeling the time is now running towards half 7 am.
Looks Lily who came at exactly 7 o'clock was made surprised by a different bread variant than usual.
" Seriously, is this for him??" .
Marwah just nodded slowly while sipping a glass of warm mineral water.
" Please put the bread into the plastic yes, mbak want to be ready first, " said Marwah while taking off his kitchen apron and walking towards his upper house to hasten a shower.
After bathing and dressing up minimalist, Marwah also looks ready to go down. But he stopped when he was in front of his shoe rack when he saw a new high-heeled shoe, which Erwin bought. And at first glance it was like remembering the words of Erwin.
" These shoes will take you to a happy place, "Erwin.
And hesitantly, he took the shoes. Then down to the store below, which turned out to be seen some female employees were whispering below with a small laugh. So Marwah looked confused.
" What are you guys??" ask Marwah confused.
Lily smiled shyly as she was about to answer Marwah.
" You why lily?" ask Marwah in surprise.
" That's mbak, in front of a cute guy, "clearly one of the female employees on Marwah who looks the same tingling with Lily.
" So cute guy??, who??" ask Marwah confused.
" Ikh, I think it's true, you don't know???" said Lily smiling shyly.
" Friend??, " said Marwah confused, but at once he was amazed and remembered it could be Erwin.
" Director??" said Marwah panicked, then walked away from the three kitchen women who looked confused with Marwah who walked hurriedly out of the store.
And sure enough Marwah's guess, now Erwin standing in front of his shop so that became the center of attention of the women who walked in front of his shop who looked in admiration at the level of Erwin.
At once Marwah felt panicked, and walked facing Erwin who seemed to be busy replying to messages on his cellphone screen.
" how is today a different director??" muttered Marwah's mind.
" Marwah?" call Erwin who looks at Marwah who is sculpting.
" Ah yes, " answered Marwah in shock.
" Why??" ask Erwin to Marwah.
" Ah, no, no papa.., ah no, it means Director why are you here?? this early??" ask Marwah who can't control herself.
Erwin smiled looking at the evil Marwah. Then reflex justifies Marwah's hair that is scattered about the face of this beautiful woman.
" Are you still that surprised??, after last night's incident??" erwin said casually and smiled at Marwah.
Instantly Marwah was embarrassed, more precisely he was still shocked at Erwin's confession last night.
" I'm here because I should have picked you up, let's go to the office together," said Erwin pleased with grabbing Marwah's fingers.
Marwah was fixated with the grip of Erwin's fingers attached to his fingers, and slowly Erwin led Marwah to get into his car.
Somehow Marwah did not refuse, he was already resigned to follow the keinging Erwin.
During the trip to the office Marwah silent a thousand languages, he became anxious that uncertain. Until finally Erwin's car wheels arrived at the Aritama building.
And Marwah was seen going down from Erwin's car. But Erwin's hand again grabbed Marwah's hand, so Marwah stopped and looked at Erwin confused.
" Can you hug me??, I need strength this morning" Erwin asked with a fixed look on Marwah's face.
Marwah looks confused by Erwin's request, but in the end hesitantly he tried to hug Erwin with limited car barrier. But not with Erwin, he hugged in Marwah's body, as if absorbing the entire fragrant body of the woman he loved.
A moment that Erwin really enjoyed, until slowly he broke the embrace.
" Thank you, " said Erwin by staring at the face of Marwah who slowly joined in smiling warmly at Erwin.
Then Marwah got off Erwin's car. And not long after, the car also walked out of the Aritama group office. Marwah also seemed to calm his true heart from earlier continued pounding. Unknowingly Marwah held her own chest.
" So now, I am the lover of an Erwin Aritama??," he muttered as if in disbelief . Then he unconsciously took a deep breath and then entered the office.
🍃🍃🍃
That afternoon, there was a fierce discussion at the Board of Directors meeting table. The 70% stake holders are betting to be their new Vice President who will be voting in a few hours.
It looks like Erwin with his team had a serious discussion. Because this time his family rival Toni appeared unexpectedly at the Zinus board meeting. Erwin looks annoyed at Toni who is his own cousin, but because of the family's bitter mass, until now they look more like enemies than families.
" I didn't expect Toni from Forten to come, wasn't she still under the Baron??" said Erwin who felt cheated.
" It looks like they're joining the fictitious injection of funds, "obviously a serious man on Erwin.
" What??? fictitious?" Erwi looks upset.
Erwin thought hard, seeing that he called Secretary Chandra to issue reports of investigations. And Chandra's secretary is seen giving several reports that are considered as the key to knocking out opponents.
" How can Zinus pass such a flawed company, "Erwin said inexhaustibly.
And finally came the time of the meeting, looking a middle-aged man who looked arrogant and tough. Ari Sastrama, owner of Zinus Group. He is a wealthy billionaire who makes his company a mega company because he has a subsidiary that he launched funds as an accomplice in the business world. Erwin who became one of the companies with a 70% stake in Zinus, enough to have power on the side of Ari Sastrama.
It seems the meeting went fiercely. When Toni came in to expose the percentage, she was seen quite warmly welcomed by Ari Sastrama .
But when Erwin advanced with a short percentage, it looks Ari Sastrama satisfied with Erwin's explanation. And to the astonishment of the whole room were some secret reports that Erwin had unloaded in the meeting, there were some companies that washed their dirty money on Zinus' funds. Until Ari Sastrama was angry listening to Erwin's report.
Suddenly, a heated debate took place there. Until it alludes to Erwin's personal domain. It looks like Toni is taking over the room with her big news about Erwin.
" Maybe there are many who do not know, that an Erwin Aritama is a same-sex lover, " said Toni straightforwardas.
Instantly, the meeting room whispered, hearing the news that some of them already knew that Erwin was a same-sex person.
" If you are thinking about choosing Erwin Aritama, then think back to it, what if this news was exposed to the mass media if a vice president of Zinus is a same-sex enthusiast, " Toni accompanies the opinion meeting to reject Erwin by gossip holding him back.
Erwin laughed funnyly at Toni who was attacking his personal realm. And he looks angry.
" Wouldn't it be too disrespectful if you use someone's private domain to take down an opponent??, " said Erwin sharply.
Then, Erwin woke up and followed Chandra's secretary. But immediately he stopped right in the middle of the meeting room.
" It looks like I won't be meeting again if, even a legally disabled person is here, it's really tarnishing the good name of my company that competes with not his level, " erwin said confidently in front of Ari Sastrama.
" And I reiterate that I really, really like women, I wonder how the Forten owners can think of such cheap gossip to bring down their opponents, so I thought really I was wasting my time meeting a narrow-minded person like you Toni, " said Erwin sharply, dying in the meeting room with a relaxed face.
After leaving the meeting room, Erwin's santia face was seen there. He walked quickly to leave the Zinus building by trying to loosen his tie.
Seen Secretary Chandra trying to be careful on Erwin, he must be vigilant. Usually the more relaxed attitude Erwin is fatal if the wrong step. Because Erwin is controlling his emotions every time he sees Toni rivalnya long ago.
