Destiny Love Maira

Ervan Face Painting

Ervan looked at the pale face of Erika who was still soundly asleep. His face was pale, even looking tired and withered. It had been almost twenty minutes since Erika had fallen asleep and was still hugging Ervan's arm.

Because I feel sore and tingling. Ervan slowly pulls her arms and supports Erika's head with a pillow that Ayu had just picked up.

Slowly land until finally the arm can be released. It seemed Erika was so exhausted that she fell asleep so soundly. Or did he faint???

I don't know ..

I hope Erika is okay.

Ervan immediately retreated away and stretched out her arm slightly. He turned to Akbar and Ayu who had been silent since then but looked sad.

"It's okay. Brother Erika must be good" said Ervan while rubbing Ayu's head gently.

"But Ayu is afraid of Erika's sister why sis" said Ayu with glassy eyes.

"No. Brother Erika must be healed. Don't worry" said Ervan.

"He's been sick like this a lot?" ervan asked Akbar and Ayu.

Akbar nodded slowly while looking at Erika for a moment and turned back to Ervan.

"Often, even sister Erika also rarely can sleep at night" replied Akbar with his sad face.

"He never saw a doctor?" ask Ervan again. Looks like asking with Akbar can get a little information.

"Sister, but it's been a long time. He just bought medicine. Maybe today Erika's sister forgot to take medicine, then her waist hurts again" Akbar replied. He spoke quite slowly, afraid that Erika would wake up with their voices.

Ervan sighed softly and nodded. He looked at Erika with pity. It really did not have the heart to see Erika like this.

"Have you ever heard Erika say anything about her parents?" ervan asked a little whisper.

Akbar nodded slowly.

"When we asked about Erika's parents, she just said that her parents were still around. But he was like we were alone, so we were invited to stay here" said Akbar

Ervan was immediately stunned hearing that.

Erika's parents are absolutely outrageous. They can throw their own kids like this. Erika must be really scared right now.

"Dear to you, brother Erika?" ask Ervan.

Akbar and Ayu immediately nodded quickly.

"Sweet brother. Erika is like our own sister. He was so good with us. When people just think we're street trash, but he wants us to stay here. Sekolin Akbar, giving good food, also good clothes. Akbar is afraid of Erika why" said Akbar with watery eyes.

Ervan smiled and rubbed the boy's head. He was really excited to hear this little boy's story. Erika is good, maybe because her parents' upbringing made her go the wrong way and do things that were very detrimental to people before. But now, he had already replied to her with much better things.

"Sister Erika must be good. But later, you guys help sister to be close to Erika's sister huh. So that we can persuade him to go to the hospital" said Ervan.

Akbar and Ayu immediately nodded quickly.

"Yes, brother" Akbar replied.

"But Erika's leg must be healed right, sister?" ask Ayu again.

Ervan smiled and nodded

"He must be healed" Ervan replied as she looked at Erika with sadness.

Yes, he must heal. Because if not, what is the fate of these two children. They must be so sad.

"We have eaten first. Let Erika's sister rest first. Earlier, I bought fried rice for you" said Ervan, turning to his motorbike.

"Udah Akbar take brother. There he is" pointed Akbar at the small table behind Ervan.

Ervan smiled and immediately took her. He took out a few boxes of fried rice for them to eat. Fried rice that has been cold and must have been less tasty anymore. But Akbar and Ayu were always happy to accept that. And that's what makes Ervan happy to see these two children.

"Let's eat, don't forget to pray first" Ervan said.

Akbar and Ayu immediately nodded obediently and prayed first.

They immediately ate in silence, while occasionally looking at Erika who was still seen sleeping in her sleep. His calm face made Ervan's heart touched. For some reason, when he used to be so upset to see Erika. But now it feels completely different.

"Aren't you eating?" akbar asked Ervan who was still looking at Erika.

Ervan smiled and shook her head.

"Sister is still full. Sister eat later wait for Erika's sister to wake up. You eat to be full." replied Ervan.

And again the two children immediately nodded quickly and went back to enjoying their food despite occasionally still paying attention to Erika.

Ervan got up and allowed a thin blanket that covered half of Erika's body. It was very sad, even for everything Erika used could make Ervan heart pity.

Oh Allah....

I don't know how much of a burden this girl is carrying.

Ervan sighed and turned to the pile of canvas in the room. There are some, it seems Erika has not had time to buy a new canvas.

But there is one that makes Ervan's attention distracted, when the last stacked canvas like a full painting.

He immediately moved and walked closer to the painting.

Grab it slowly from the canvas pile on it.

But his eyes immediately widened in surprise when he saw it was a painting of him who was smiling.

Ervan immediately snorted a smile looking at the painting. He turned to look at Erika for a moment and looked back at the painting himself.

It's epic and very good.

But what made her smile was not only admiring the painting, but also thinking why did Erika even paint it???

If you look at the date on this painting, this is a painting that has been around for a long time. Maybe before they met or also when Erika was still working at the cafe.

Although Erika had changed and kept her distance from Ervan, but it turned out that her heart was still the same as before.

Ervan smiled and placed the painting on the table. Rather than being hidden it is better to be on display. Or Ervan could bring her home later for a memory recall.

Ervan's stunned, though,

recall memories???

He looked back at Erika.

Erika. yes the annoying girl who always ruined her relationship with Maira. But his heart really likes Ervan.

And for some reason, instead of his anger, Ervan instead felt happy when he saw the painting.

There's just...

Ervan sat down next to Erika. Meanwhile, Akbar and Ayu have finished eating and are now cleaning up their leftovers.

But when Ervan was about to pull out his phone, he gasped when he saw Erika who started to squirm and woke up.

Why so fast?

"Ervan.." murmured Erika with her voice that sounded so hoarse and her eyes glare. He looks surprised to see Ervan in front of him.

"Why are you awake?" ervan asked while saving his phone back.

Erika moved with a little ringing on her face, making Ervan instantly with reflex instead helping Erika and holding her arm.

"Ah.. sorry" Ervan said as she looked at the shocked Erika.

"Still sick? if you're still sick I'll take you to the hospital" Ervan said. But Erika even shook her head and allowed her hijab to fall apart.

"No. thank you. It doesn't hurt anymore" Erika replied.

"Really?" ask Ervan.

Erika smiled and nodded slowly. But suddenly he pecked when his eyes accidentally saw the painting he made on the table.

Why would it be there?

Didn't he keep the painting?

Erika immediately looked at Ervan with her bitter and awkward look. But Ervan instead put on his cool face as usual.

"It turns out my face is quite handsome until you paint it there" said Ervan with a thin smile.

Erika immediately smiled bitterly and rubbed her face at a glance.

"I'm sorry..."

Ah Yes Allah... Erika was even left speechless now.

What's Ervan's thinking now? will he get angry, or stay away from her again?

"You know how much you have to pay for painting my face?" ask Ervan.

Erika immediately fell in fear.

"Sorry Van" she wrote.

"As a payment I'll take this painting away. You can't keep my face here too long" Ervan said.

Erika immediately looked at him with sadness.

"Are you going to throw it away?" ask Erika. Though it was like he had a dream if Ervan promised to always be with him, but why now, it feels crashing again. Erika was afraid Ervan would get angry.

"As far as I'm gonna do this painting. You didn't ask my permission before painting my visual" Ervan replied.

"The painting is long. And at that time, I even thought that I would never see you again" said Erika.

Ervan was silent.

"Don't throw it away, sorry if I've been sassy. It's just that at that time all I thought about was you. I mean I remember the mistakes I made with you" Erika said.

Ervan grunts a cynical smile.

"So you want to keep this painting?" ask Ervan.

"If you allow it" replied Erika.

"But you have to pay it at a high price" said Ervan.

Erika immediately looked at Ervan in surprise.

"Pay, but I have a lot of money" said Erika.

"Where do I care. You want to keep it or I'll throw it away?" ask Ervan.

Erika seemed to be gulping her saliva and sighing heavily.

"If you still want to keep this painting and don't have much money to pay for it, then you have to follow all my orders for this month" Ervan said.

Erika stunned...

Following Ervan's orders?

For a month?

Why does it sound weird.

"You don't?" ask Ervan.

And since Erika felt affectionate with the painting, she was finally only able to nod her head resignedly. Ervan wouldn't ask for anything weird, would she?
