Erica's Secret
Sukabumi
"Hello. Honey.." said Jonathan across the phone. He took a comfortable position for a call with his girlfriend.
"Yes, Honey. I'm not bothering you?" ask Erica before she starts her conversation.
"I just got home. It's okay, you sleep balloons?" ask Jonathan
"What time is it... Not yet night..."
Jonathan looked at his wall clock and still showed me at half-ten there.
"Eat already? If I haven't delivered food yet..."
"Jo.." call Erica, as if she doesn't care about the stale bases Jonathan makes
Erica's thoughts continue to drift to Sukabumi, where her mother lives.
"Yes, Erica?"
"I'm worried about my mom..."
"Mother? Your mother why?"
"So my mother called, I cried because my brother acted. I thought of mom. I don't know how to. To be honest, if I may, I want permission to go back to Sukabumi to see my mother's condition." said Erica.
"Then? What are your plans after seeing your mother?" ask Jonathan
"If my mom's not okay there, I want to take my mom to Jakarta. I'm worried because my brother keeps asking Mom for money. If not, my brother is angry... I'm confused how I should be, Jo. I don't really want to involve you... But..."
Erica started sobbing. He doesn't know how to. To be honest, he didn't want to trouble Jonathan. But if he doesn't tell it, he can't lie to Jonathan either. He did not want Jonathan to be disappointed.
"Erica, calm yourself down, okay? I will come with you to Sukabumi, so that you do not worry anymore. If your mother should take you to Jakarta, take it. Take care of your mother" Jonathan said
"I'm troubling you, yeah..."
"Don't think so, honey. I'm not here to feel bothered by you. I'm glad to be trusted by you for your problems. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll help you."
Erica was crying again. Now happy tears had washed his cheeks. He did not think that Jonathan was so understanding with him. He didn't know how to thank Jonathan.
"Thank you, Jonathan. Tomorrow I'm leaving. I want to know my mother's condition as soon as possible..."
"Well, tomorrow morning me and Mr. Herman will pick you up at the apartment. You prepare..."
"Thank you, my dear." said Erica.
Jonathan nodded slowly.
"If there's anything, just tell it like this. I will definitely not stay silent. Now, Yaudah rest first. I love you, Erica."
"Yes, Jo...I love you more..."
They hung up the phone and Erica was relieved to tell Jonathan. Tomorrow Jonathan and Mr. Herman will drive him. Ah really very lga. If all this time he had to call travel, now no longer. Everything is safe with Jonathan.
...****************...
The next day, Jonathan picked Erica up at eight in the morning as promised. Erica is also ready with jeans and a beautiful floral blouse.
Beautiful, inner Jonathan.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a beautiful woman on her face and also her heart like Erica. Too many beautiful women are hypocrites and that makes Jonathan tired. With Erica, he felt a comfort he never felt.
"Darling.." said Erica opening the car door.
Jonathan greeted him with a brief kiss on his lips. Erica was a little surprised by the sweet kiss Jonathan gave her.
"If you're both, you have to get used to it, baby" Jonathan said.
"But I'm ashamed Mr. Herman..."
"Sir Herman is used to seeing me as you. What else is hayo?"
Erica commented a faint smile on her lips.
"Yes, yeah..."
"Road now, huh?"
"Sir, walk sir. We'll stop by the restaurant to eat..."
"Ready, Sir."
The car was slowly driven by Mr. Herman. It felt as if Erica's heart was pounding rapidly down the motorway that morning.
...****************...
Docs...Docs....Docs....
The door of Eshan's house was knocked down curiously by someone that afternoon. Mom was washing the dishes for lunch. Surprised Mother when she heard the loud door blow.
Doc, doc, doc!!!
"Yes, just a minute!" mother said as she moved towards the front room. He immediately opened the door and saw who was pounding on the door like that..
"Who, huh?" ask her with a confused face.
"Just like, Mom."
"Yes, noon..."
"Aretul, Eshan lives here?"
"Failure, from whom, sir?"
They came two people. With a straight and strong face. Naturally, if that afternoon I look at that person.
"We want to collect the debt on Eshan. Where is he now?" asked the burly man in a firm tone.
"Not home. She ate tea, she left. Don't come here anymore." replied Mom, trembling.
"When do you pay the debt?? It's been a month of waiting! Why haven't you paid yet?" ask the man harshly.
"Maap,Raw..Puntenu. What does Eshan owe you, sir?"
"So I don't know how much Eshan owes and what to do? Very kasian mother, must be lied to Eshan continue to dong "
"Sir, I don't understand. You mean Inu Eshan owed you? How much do you owe, sir? For God's sake I don't know anything."
Soon Eshan came home and saw his mother being charged with debt by the two burly men.
"You...why are you here?" eshan asked confusedly. The man immediately turned his gaze towards Eshan and saw Eshan directly charging his debt.
"Your debt!! Pay your debt Eshan!! You bet on borrowing our money but there's not a single dollar you pay!"
"You owe them, Eshan?? I can't believe you're that same mom!"
"I don't have any money right now, sir. I'll pay tomorrow.."
"Udah is two months and you're just promises. Pay up!!"
"I don't have the money yet, sir..."
"Continue when? Tomorrow tomorrow... You think that money is made of what leaves!"
"I called my sister in Jakarta duli, and she'll transfer the money to me" Eshan said.
Eshan tried to call Erica. But there's no response. Eshan had started to tremble with the presence of the two people with the huge body.
They waited but Erica didn't answer the phone. Eshan had started to sweat coldly. The patience of debt collectors is paper-thin. He did not expect that they would punch him.
"BABEKK!!!!"
"DORCH!!" yelled mother hysterically.
"Bang, forgive bang! Give me time, I'll pay my debt!"
"Rancid con! How dare you borrow money but not return it!! Remember yes!! We'll be here again until you pay the debt!!!"
"Yes bang..."
The two debt collectors left their homes. Eshan brushed off the hand of the mother who was trying to help him.
