DESTINY LOVE (Ghea & Tristan)

NEED A FRIEND

"In.. are you hungry?" Erick asked Diana as she drove him home.

"Hemm a little bit of Mas.." Diana hesitated.

Actually Diana did not feel hungry, only she wanted Erick to invite her to just eat together before Erick drove her home. I don't know why his heart still wants to be with Erick.

"When we eat first what? what do you want to eat?" Ask Erick again.

"Hmm. can Mas, whatever It's Up to Mas."

"How about we stop by a steakhouse?"

"Can." He answered with restraining his pleasure.

Erick opened the car door for Diana when he arrived at the Steakhouse, his hand just holding Diana's hand as he walked into the Steakhouse.

Diana gasped as their fingers clutched together, while Erick looked indifferent. They really look like husband and wife nowadays.

Erick pulled out a chair to sit on by Diana.

"Thank you." Diana smiled.

Then Erick sat down in front of Diana and ordered food to the waiters.

"In.. don't you hold a cell phone?" Ask Erick.

Diana shook her head, "Daddy hasn't given me Mas's phone yet, and I haven't thought of having one either."

"I'm having trouble contacting you."

"Can't you come to my house?"

Erick shook his head, "I can't go to your house every day Di, I'm still actively working on managing my company with my eldest son. Even once in a while I'd go on business trips if my son couldn't represent me."

Diana was just silent, it is true that mobile phones now help people to communicate when they cannot meet. What's more, the more sophisticated era, can make video calls and make the distance more meaningless.

"Don't daydream, finish your meal at.." Erick ripped off Diana's daydream.

Diana smiled sweetly, the sweetest smile that made Erick like her.

"Dad.." Call someone who then approaches Erick and Diana's table.

"Bryan's.. What are you doing here?" Ask Erick.

Bryan looked at Erick and then turned to Diana. "Are you on a date?" Bryan asked as if teasing Erick and did not answer Erick's question.

Bryan was at the same restaurant, he had just finished meeting his old friends.

"Bry. a little polite." Erick said it like a mistake.

Bryan laughed, "Well Dad, Bry won't bother you anymore.."

Bryan looked at Diana. "I'm sorry ma'am for interrupting the dinner, I'm Bryan Mr. Erick's eldest son, then excuse me first." Bryan smiled meaningfully, content to catch his father on a date.

"I'm sorry my son Di. he was so happy to tease me."

Diana laughed a little, "Your son must be humorous, Mas, but his attitude is very different from Ghea, Ghea looks more rigid."

Erick nodded, "Ghea was like that because of my old attitude that didn't take her as my son."

"Mommy mean?" Diana did not understand.

"When my beloved wife was pregnant with Ghea, I was so happy. At that time I also felt guilty about betraying his love by cheating on me and marrying my mistress, he was Vika who used to hit you Di.. On the eve of Ghea's birth, I decided to end my relationship with Vika, and remain in charge of the child I thought was my son from Vika, but fate said otherwise, Sofia died after giving birth to Ghea, he left me without knowing that I had betrayed his love, it made me feel guilty, so Vika took the opportunity to go deeper into my life and live with me in my house, for some reason Vika slalu spoke to me that the cause of Sofia's death was because of Ghea, making me feel hate for Ghea and being unfair to her, I was just watching Bryan, I was watching him, that was so hard that one day Bryan could manage my company. And stupidly, I was concerned about Yasmin, the child I thought was my son with Vika who was not really my son."

"It's not fair how do you mean?" Diana did not understand.

"I don't treat Ghea like my own son, Ghea I never gave her the things she wanted, used more of Yasmin's old things and Yasmin's slalu got the new stuff, it made Ghea closer and more attentive to my neighbors than I was to her own father. Even until Ghea graduated from school, never once did I come to just take a rapot or attend the graduation event, even though Ghea was a smart child and slalu became a general champion at school. Until the peak of Yasmin's marriage, she left her marriage, and made Ghea have to replace the marriage. At that time I still remained selfish by making Ghea continue in suffering because it made Sofia leave.

Diana rounded her eyes and closed her mouth as a sign of disbelief.

"I used to be so cruel to Ghea Di, that I realized that this slama I was wrong and consumed a lot by Vika's words. And I finally realized, my emptiness is because I don't want to make peace with time and don't accept reality."

"What about your second wife?" Ask Diana.

"He is currently in prison with Yasmin. I sued Vika on charges of deceiving me about Yasmin who turned out not to be my son, and she was also entangled in the case of ab*rsi for giving the drug peng*g*r content to Yasmin to make Yasmin keg*g*ran. While Yasmin is imprisoned for abducting Ghea and for selling Ghea to Yasmin's own lover. Lucky it could be thwarted by Tristan and also your son Di.."

Diana did not expect Erick's life to be so complicated.

"So right now Mas..." Diana did not continue her speech but Erick caught the point of Diana's speech.

"I am not bound by anyone Di, even when Vika lived in my house we did not live in one room, I let her stay in my house hoping she could accept my children but in fact she instigated me to be harsh on my children."

Diana held Erick's hand. "It's all gone."

Erick nodded, "It's okay to enjoy my old age with my son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren Di. I was lucky, Bryan and Ghea accepted and forgave me. That's why I don't want you to feel what I used to feel Di, I'm grateful you can now accept Fariz."

Diana nodded, "Thank you. This is all because of Mas, if Mas needs a interlocutor do not hesitate to contact me Mas."

Erick sighed, "But it seems I don't just need Di's interlocutor." Lirih Erick's.

"Mommy mean?"

"Maybe I also need a life companion who accompanies me to age Di."

"Mas still looks young, there must be many women who want to be the same Mas."

Erick raised his bow while looking at Diana, "Does that woman include you Di?"

"Huh?" Diana was wrong.

"That hemm, I mean another more honorable woman Mas, I don't deserve Mas Erick."

Erick laughed, "But my heart wants you Di, I want you to stand by the rest of my age Di, my old friend."

"Mas, don't joke." Diana was getting the wrong way.

"I'm not kidding. But you don't worry, I don't want to force you on." Erick smile.

Diana lowered her head while drinking her lemon tea, her heart was pounding, for some reason it felt like she wanted to cuddle Erick right then and there. Diana cursed herself, it was clear that Erick was asking her to be her lover, maybe not asking for it, but was proposing to her to be her life companion, but it seemed like this conversation had just stalled.

While Erick, he will slowly convince Diana, he will fight for Diana and hope that when Diana will accept him.

***

Erick drove Diana home to her house, when Grandpa Tara was home. He welcomed Erick's arrival and invited him to chat over tea.

Even Grandpa Tara talked about business and asked her to work together. But Erick refused subtly because Erick did not want to be mistaken to take advantage of his closeness with Diana to get cooperation with large companies from DW group. According to Erick, the company itself is quite large even though it is not as big as DW Group, he is reluctant to spread his wings again on the grounds of not wanting to be too busy in his old age and wants to spend time with family, especially his grandchildren.

Grandpa Tara was amazed at the thought of Erick, he thought that his daughter was so admiring Erick. Erick may have been wrong to be tempted by a woman, but now he learns from his past to improve his life.

***

Grandpa Tara approached Diana who was drinking mineral water in the kitchen.

"How are you feeling?" Ask Grandpa Tara.

"I mean Daddy?" Diana did not understand.

"Do you still like Erick?"

"Dad.. Do I still deserve to fall in love? do I still deserve to be loved by a man? I just want to take care of you and Fariz at my age who's no longer this young."

"Don't talk like that Di, you deserve to be happy too, Daddy thinks Fariz would agree."

"I feel unworthy for Mas Erick Dad. I'm afraid Mas Erick is disgusted by me."

"Don't talk like that Di, you're a diamond in the eyes of the right person, and Daddy's sure Erick thinks you're a diamond in his eyes."

Diana sighed, indeed she put her heart on Erick, but her confidence had not grown on her.
