Love, Treasure And Erlita

Episode 12's

Mr. Dandy, Head of the Forestry Department, welcomed Nafan's arrival that morning. No matter how he knew that Nafan was married to the granddaughter of a conglomerate, suddenly Mr. Dandi commanded Nafan's office friends to congratulate him.

“Send my regards to Erlita.”

Nafan quite surprised, “Where do you know my wife's name?”

Mr. Dandy laughed, “How could I not know, he has even introduced himself and demonstrated his ability in helping you with the report.”

“Report?” Nafan still doesn't understand.

“Honour, Erlita” Pak Dandy as if drawing a bottom line in the air.

Nafan opened his email. Damnit damnit! How could he not know that Erlita would type the body of the email and write her name like that. Nafan felt very ashamed of his boss and friends.

“So when can we meet Mrs Nafan?”

***

That afternoon Jihan heard the sound of Nafan's motorbike from inside her house. He then took a shower and got ready. Tonight he plans to ask Nafan to date mumpung Erlita is also not at home.

***

Nafan was very tired that day. After a month of leave, a lot of work piles up and queues up to be completed immediately. He rushed to take a bath and intended to rest but he was still wondering where Erlita had gone.

No messages or voice calls came to his phone. Does this mean that Erlita is beginning to ignore her existence? Now Nafan was upset how Erlita could ignore him after embarrassing him at the office.

He hurried to get up to look for Erlita. Just as he was about to open the door, Jihan was already standing in front of the door about to knock.

“Kak Jihan what else? How are you here?”

“Oh, Gini Fan. I have another show together. But I was on the streets again. Want to not lo anterin me for a moment?”

“Sori Sis, but I'm really tired. Just returned home from work so you want to rest at home aja.”

Jihan had guessed that Nafan would refuse like that. “So you really don't want to. There is Lita also loh.”

“Lita?” Nafan looked doubtful. But he did intend to find and bring the girl home. So it doesn't seem like a problem if they go together. “OK. Waitaminute! I want to change clothes for a moment.”

***

They arrived at the courtyard of a luxurious mansion that seemed to be throwing a party. Jihan immediately held Nafan's hand as soon as she got out of the car and took him in without having time to fight. Nafan knew some faces that he knew as Erlita's friends when he met at the cafe some time ago.

Jihan invites Nafan to greet the owner of the party but Nafan refuses and immediately breaks away from his cousin's tight grip. He then approached one of Erlita's friends.

“Sorry, do you know where Erlita is?”

“Already gone. He was crying and kept going.”

Erlita's friend just shrugged her shoulders at the mark of not knowing.

With no strings attached to Jihan and the owner of the house, Nafan immediately ordered an online taxi to Erlita's cafe. Erlita was there, crying alone. Nafan ventured to approach Erlita.

“Ta, you why?”

Erlita did not expect that Nafan would find her presence there. He immediately wiped his tears and acted as if nothing had happened.

“Engga, I don't papa kok.”

“You still want to lie?”

Erlita can't pretend anymore. Her tears flooded her cheeks. He hugged Nafan and spilled all his feelings there.

Erlita recounts how she met Roki, a young up-and-coming actor for starring in a popular teen soap opera.

Roki then asked her to chat and joke. Roki also seems to have deliberately approached Erlita and made physical contact as it intentionally indicates that they are close. Just when a reporter approached them, Roki hugged and almost kissed Erlita and said that he left his former lover for Erlita's sake.

Not just labeled as a actor that makes Erlita upset. But also the fact that Roki deliberately set him up and the one thing Erlita hated the most was the unlicensed physical contact the stranger had made towards her.

Finished saying that, Nafan immediately withdrew, slightly moving away from Erlita. He no longer wanted to be called an alien being who was trying to touch him intentionally. It actually makes Erlita who was crying even so laugh seeing the funny behavior of Nafan.

“Hei alien beings! I was hugging you. So that touch was over my seijin. Don't be afraid of it?!” Erlita laughs.

Nafan was happy to see Erlita laughing again and he was also a little relieved not to be labeled as a perverted foreign man anymore.

“Btw, how do you know I'm here?”

Nafan tells how he went with Jihan to find Erlita in the cafe.

“Oh, so you go same brother Jihan? What about lo?”

“What's the way?”

“My cousin's sister is beautiful right. He is also very good with me.”

Nafan completely disagreed with Erlita's opinion. Because he knows exactly how Jihan betrayed him with Dean. But he could understand because Erlita did not know about it.

“Kak Jihan likes very much lo. And if you like him too, I don't mind. You can walk and date Jihan. My privacy principle is the most important thing. So I won't interfere with lo.”'s personal affairs Erlita smiled sincerely.

And somehow the words and the smile actually made Nafan feel angry and hurt. He does not know the reason at all, he should feel happy because he was given the freedom to determine his feelings and choices. But somehow Nafan felt his heart ache and disappointed.

“OK, if that's what you want. Thank you for respecting my privacy.”
