Erica's Secret

Want to go back but...

Erica looked at the scenery near her home. Beautiful mountain scenery, which he rarely saw in the Jakarta area. It was very desirable that he stayed there for a while with the peace that was in Sukabumi. But he knew he wouldn't. There is a lot to do, especially in Jakarta.

As Erica looked at the mountains there, Andrea came and asked if there was anything Erica wanted to eat because the air here was quite cold, different from Jakarta.

"Sorry, Mom. Is there something you want to eat? I'll try to get around with the driver and get some lunch" Andrea said.

"The real food here is delicious. If you don't fit in, you can buy Mcd" Erica said.

"I'll adjust to the food here, ma'am" Andrea said.

"Then we look for them together. After that we go to my father's grave."

"Good Mom."

Erica was very happy that day. Where he did not meet Jonathan. Where he doesn't have to think of anything complicated. Erica invited them to eat at one of the Sunda stalls that used to be her subscription. This stall has a delicious and distinctive cuisine makes Erica miss with the atmosphere here.

Erica ordered asem vegetable food, grilled fish and also sambal. Andrea also ordered the package menu as well as the driver. Erica felt that she could take off the load while in Sukabumi. The jokes and laughter look loose. Never seen Andrea before.

The night has come. Andrea made a glass of warm tea for Erica and the air also grew cold.

"That's it, Mom."

"Still, Dea" Erica said as she took a glass from Andrea's hand.

"The night is getting colder here, ma'am."

"Yes. Such is. I feel right here." Erica said.

"The pleasure is good and comfortable."

"But the neighbors here are just like most neighbors who like a gibbah."

Andrea smiled.

"Sorry, Mom. We're back in Jakarta tomorrow."

Erica looked towards Andrea. His face was a little worried.

"Yes. Tomorrow we return."

"I'm sorry Mom. I'm really worried because we're suddenly going to Sukabumi."

"I just want to let go of the fatigue for a moment. Tomorrow we work as usual."

"Okay, Mom "

"Oh yeah, Dea." call Erica.

"Yes, Mom "

"How well do you know Jonathan?" ask Erica.

"I just know Mr. Jonathan his son Christy's mother. And property owners. And also have a beautiful wife like Erica's mother" Andrea said with a smile. Said to be beautiful, Erica became blushed in shame.

"Is he a good man?"

Andrea seemed to think for a moment then nodded.

"I think Mr. Jonathan is a good man. Treating their employees well. Just be firm, Mom" said Andrea.

"If it's not clear where it might be a leader huh" Erica continued.

"You can come in if you want to rest. I still want to be here first."

Andrea nodded and went inside the house Being inside the house felt warmer than outside the house.

The next day, Erica returns to Jakarta with Andrea and also the driver. He went straight to the office.

Feeling unconcerned by Erica, Jonathan came straight to Erica's office and closed the door of her room. Closing the window curtain as well and Jonathan immediately hugged Erica.

"Thank God you're okay!" jonathan said in a very anxious tone. He hugged Erica tightly and smelled her hair with a different shampoo as usual.

"Where were you yesterday? Just returned to the office?" ask Jonathan.

"I went to Sukabumi" Erica replied.

"Well?"

"I'm seeing my father."

"A..DAD?"

"I went to his grave."

"OKAY. It's nothing, what matters is you..."

"I feel betrayed Jo."

"Braying? Betray what? I didn't betray you" Jonathan said.

"I think you've been a person who can be kind to others, and what did I see yesterday? In the hospital? It makes me sick, Jo. There's another side that I don't know about you" Erica said.

"You still mad about that?"

"How am I not angry, Jo? How am I supposed to show my anger when I know what happened in the hospital? How can I pretend to be good when I really do not" said Erica. Seeing Erica who almost wanted to cry, Jonathan held her shoulder and looked into Erica's eyes.

"That's my last act. I'm not repeating myself. I wouldn't have done it if he hadn't forced it. I beg Erica, come back home, I can't see you going around looking for a bed tonight when you can sleep in your own house. The door is wide open for you, Erica!"

"Don't bullshit, Jonathan.'

" I'm not talking about Erica! It's real."

Erica just shut up.

"Go home, baby. I don't want you to go anymore. I don't know what I can do if there's no you, Erica."

Hearing Jonathan's words, Erica hesitated a little.

Has he really let go of everyone he comes into contact with through debt?

What if not?

"Take me to where you lend me money" Erica said

"What's? You serious?"

"Do you see me joking?"

"But right"

"I'll believe you brought me to your secret place" Erica said. Jonathan was silent not knowing what to answer.
