The air shower just kept flowing soaking Erick's hair and trying to help win his mind.
He had been daydreaming long enough in the bathroom, looking at every circle of dew stuck to the glass.
He came out and wrapped his body in a white towel, replacing it with satin pajamas.
Finished changing clothes, he walked out towards the room beside her. He wanted to see the state of Dira who was still unconscious.
Unexpectedly, the woman was not on the bed. Erick looked for her, he saw Dira standing on the balcony outside.
Erick approached him who was daydreaming. He stood beside Dira.
"Where am I?" tanya Dira had continued to look at the city of Jakarta with the beauty of thousands of small lights.
"Now that we're at Penthouse, I didn't have time to take you to our house" Erick replied slowly.
Erick took a chance, he tried to touch Dira's palm.
"You don't papa, do you?" erick asked while trying to warm up the atmosphere.
Dira put aside his body, he then looked at Erick with a very deep feeling.
This time for the first time, Dira sees Erick as a man. Not as a bad guy.
Dira's two eyes dazzled a deep agitation and sadness. She was traumatized by the incident at the time.
Suddenly Dira brought the body closer to Erick, he then hugged the man with a warm breath. I was so strong not to keep crying. He tries to look strong.
Erick received the hug, his two hands then hugged Dira back. Now they embrace each other. With a very long time.
They did not speak a word, all suddenly mute.
It's just that they're trying to signal their hearts through a touch.
Both of Dira's eyes kept closing, he was carried away by emotion and anger. And a huge regret.
Finally Dira made a sound with a hoarse voice.
"I'm sorry."
****
It's already very late at night, Erick should immediately give the medicine to Dira.
The woman's body was still very weak, she had to rest a lot in order to recover quickly.
Erick carried Dira's body from the balcony to the mattress. He then helped Dira lay it down on the bed.
He then gave medicine and water to Dira.
"If you've been eating medicine, you better get some rest, right away" Erick ordered.
Immediately he cleaned the glass and quickly brought her out of the room.
"Where are you going?" tanya Dira limp.
"I want to go to the kitchen and I also want to rest in the next room" Erick replied with a sweet smile.
"Can't you just let me sleep tonight?" asked Dira with a embarrassed face.
Erick's eyes glared slightly as he felt it was a surprise.
"I was still very scared, even I woke up from a nightmare," Dira added with a sad face.
"Ok," Erick replied as he reversed course and returned to storing the glass.
Erick went up to the bed, and he fell down next to Dira.
To be honest, tonight makes it very awkward. It's not an easy thing, Erick's heart is pounding very fast.
This was her first time, she could smell the body odor of that woman very intimately. How he breathes, his way of sticking out both legs and the sensation of one bed are very rare.
Both of them were caught in an awkward atmosphere.
"Thank you for saving me" said Dira, bowing her head.
"I'm a failed man, I shouldn't have left you, I should have protected you at all times" Erick replied in a fit of rage.
"It felt like that night, I had almost lost hope of living. I was so scared, everything suddenly broke."
Dira's lips trembled considering all that had befallen her. Erick feels that if the time comes he should awaken Dira immediately. He had to brainwash the woman before it was too late.
His fragile soul, his deep psychological trauma and his inner wounds, were the most powerful weapons to subdue his hardened heart.
"Try you think, everyone out there has forgotten you. They're just a bunch of selfish creatures who think only of themselves."
Dira was silent, he was preparing to hear whatever Erick explained.
"Even your own family, what can they do? Hary, your own husband is just busy with life insurance policy, he hasn't been looking for you all this time. You still expecting the police too? Come on, Dira, it hasn't even been a year since your case was frozen. Your case documents are already in the garbage cans" Erick explained with a fiery flame.
Hearing all that, made Dira Heart become very sick, disappointed with everyone around him.
True what Erick said, if only family, friends, co-workers and even the police continue to try to solve the case, it might not be impossible for him to get out.
Butwhat? everything looks good without her presence. Everything was still going normally, there was no sadness, all could still laugh, no struggle no one even remembered her name anymore.
"What should I do now?" asked Dira with a lethargic face.
"It's just me, it's just me and I'm always there for you. You just need me, you don't need anyone anymore. Even your own son, Hanum? she's been so happy with her new school." Erick is back.
Erick then began to approach Dira who was still frozen, he was eager to convince Dira's heart and dispel all her doubts.
The man then raised Dira's face very tightly, he did not want to see her face continue to look down and dodge.
"You have to believe in me, only I deserve you."
Dira finally cried, his defense collapsing instantly. He was left with a bitter life choice. Instantly his brain was forced to accept a painful fact.
"Are you really not going to leave me?" asked Dira while crying.
"I promise you, you have to trust me at all times."
Erick then turned around, his two hands instantly embracing Dira's body. The man desperately wanted to tightly hug the entire soul that had long since broken off.
In other words, Erick's mission is coming to fruition. He was slowly able to turn things around. He with all persuasion and seduction can keep a speck of love, hope and sympathy in the heart of Dira.
That's Erick, however the way he must always be able to achieve all the impossible. Too many burdens, cries and disappointments just for a taste of it.
A very difficult love
He doesn't care about anything. He must continue to convince Dira that the outside world does not want him.
He must make her an outcast, unwanted and unloved human being.
Dira then let go of the hug, he looked back at the face of the man who had always been beside him.
It's Erick, nothing else.
"Let's go to sleep" asked Dira.
With a very slow movement, he began to lay his head on the pillow. Erick then helped her to spread the blanket.
With a loving look, Erick kissed the woman's forehead with awe.
A kiss with a sign of sincerity from the deepest heart.
This is the perfect kiss Erick ever gave Dira.
"Good night" said Erick softly.
