LIEGE

LOVE IS A BIZZARE THING

Erina and Andrew seemed to be seriously discussing in the meeting room. Half an hour ago they just finished a meeting with a client who was running pretty fast. The two are still discussing the results of the meeting.

"Dad, Erin thinks we should reject this project. Too risky. The numbers don't come in either."

"Dad thinks so too. But they're one of our company's main clients. I'm afraid if we refuse this project will give bad credit to our company."

"Erin knows, but dad..."

"Let's think about it again. We'll discuss with them again next week. I hope there'll be another option for both of us."

"Dad, can I talk about our company?" erina asked carefully while tidying up the documents before her.

"What's the matter, dear? Didn't you agree to continue with the company after I moved to Texas?"

"Hmm. That's what Erin wants to discuss." Erina looks doubtful. "Can't daddy run it from there?"

"What do you mean? We discussed, after your marriage to Daffa, we're going to move to Texas."

"Dad, Erin is afraid of not being able to run the company well. During this time Erin took more care of design or technical matters. Erin hasn't mastered her management yet."

Andrew chuckled at the attitude of the princess only wayangnya who had been seen tomboy, but it turned out to have such fear.

"I thought you're fearless."

"I'm still a girl." Erina defended herself.

"You're a toughest girl I've ever known. Don't worry my baby girl. I'm sure you can take over my position and lead this company." Andrew calmed Erina down. "You have a strong management team. They're my right hand. They will help you."

"Still... I'm affraid." Erina looks doubtful.

"If you are in doubt, you can invite Daffa to join this company. You two can make this company better than ever. Or you take Ardian. He's gonna help you."

"Armdian ..... "

"Wait, let me ask you something. Did you guys fight? It's been a while since daddy didn't see him play at our house."

"Me and Ardian? The fight? Nope.. We're doing just fine. Maybe he was busy. Dad, what lunch are we today." Erina tried to distract Andrew.

"Erina Aurelia Smith, tell me the truth. What happened between you two?" urged Andrew.

Erina looked at the daddy with a confused look. Gosh.. should I tell him about Ardian?

"What had happened? Don't tell me that he loves you."

Erina was surprised to hear Andrew's very precise guess. Well, I guess I'm a psychic, Erina thought. How could he know about it.

"How do you know? Are you a psychic?" Andrew chuckled at Erina's question.

"Oh my god. It's so obvious. You're silly girl."

"Dad....!" erina Protest.

"So you haven't noticed all this time?" Erina shakes.

"He's my bestfriend. You know it."

"I know that. But I also know that he likes you. hmm, nope. he loves you."

"Dad, it's impossible."

"Why is it impossible? He's a man. You're a woman."

"But he's my best friend. You could say he was like my brother."

"You're silly girl. You're so naive. How all this time you didn't realize how she felt about you. We used to think you guys would eventually become lovers. We and his parents even talked about the possibility of you getting married."

"No. We're not kidding. Even when you broke up from Pras, we had thought of setting you up. But it turns out that after you managed to move on from Pras, you are in a relationship again with others. Last one with Zafran."

"Where could Ardian like me. The proof is that he is the same as Erin, often changing girlfriends. He's more ex-girl than Erin."

"Why do you think he's always there every time you need him? Why do you think he dares to leave an important meeting just because you need a friend to confide in or spar?" Andrew still mentioned many things that made Erina stunned.

"I guess I was blind all the time. But, it's impossible for me to like him as a man. It'll be awward between us, if we become a couple. Besides that, I've already taken by Daffa. I love him."

"I don't blame your choice. He was coming in the right time. But I hope you and Ardian will always be a good friend. For the sake of your grandpas and our family." Erina smiled.

"Erin never stayed away from him, but instead she stayed away from me. It's because I rejected his proposal."

"He proposed? Really? And you turned him down?" Andrew looked in disbelief. Erina nodded. "I'm speechless."

"A strange angel, Dad. If indeed he harbors a taste for Erin, why did he also intend to fool Erin with Daffa."

"Love is a bizzare thing."

"Rin, are you going to Gwen's engagement tomorrow?" raina asked as they had lunch at a mall.

"Hmm.. during the weekend, is the show? You came with Henry?" Erina asked back. "Elo what about Lex? Coming with Raymond?"

"Ray is going to KL tomorrow. Inter mama check health," replied Alexia who looks fun enjoying grilled shrimp.

"Let go with yuk. Henry could not come either. There's a meeting with a client. Henry said I can go if I go with you guys."

"Want to take Daffa?" ask Alexia.

"No idea. I haven't told her about Gwen's show yet." Erina replied. "I tried to call him."

Before long Erina had already spoken to Daffa on her phone. His face looks disappointed. Within five minutes, Erina ended the conversation.

"Why Rin? Your face is very scrapped. Daffa can't?"

"Yes. I called him again on the way to the airport. There are projects in the Aussie that are having problems" Erina replied upsetly. "He'll be there for three days. After that he had to go to London to meet his father. I can guess the work."

"Don't he tell you about his trip?" ask Raina.

"To schedule to London, he already told me. So I relax because it's still a week away. Well, the one to the Aussie he forgot to tell me because he was also suddenly informed."

"Yes, we invite Ardian just to be our driver" proposed Alexia. "A long time ago we didn't walk with him."

"No need! Let me pick you up."

"But Rin...."

"If I say no, don't!" erina exclaimed in annoyance while slamming the spoon she was holding. Fortunately, the plate in front of him did not break.

Both of his friends were surprised to see the unexpected reaction. Why does Erina look upset. Did they both fight?

"Elo and Ardian got into a fight?" ask Raina carefully. He had already memorized the temperament of the short-haired girl sitting opposite him.

"Si kuya it proposed to me," said Erina slowly.

"What?!"

"Really?"
