"I remember now that the man had met your former fiancee on the street," Mitha sat beside Clara.
"What's? why would he meet such a rude man like Edi? did you see it directly?" the woman was curious.
"Yes, Edi got off his bike and banged on the windshield. I noticed them from one of the nearby minimarkets. The car belongs to you, I almost got to them. But, the one who got out of the car turned out to be the man in front of it wasn't you!" point Mitha, she explained in detail to her best friend.
"I think you know who Ervin is" Clara muttered.
But his murmur was heard by his two best friends.
"So his name is Ervin?" Emi who was silent and listening to their conversation finally made a sound. His screeching made his two best friends pinch his arms.
"Whisper!" Clara glares.
"Why the hell Ra? I'll just call her doang" Emi protested.
Clara did not reply, she paused for a moment and exhaled.
An hour later, Clara's best friend went home to each other. Clara is alone in her nursery.
The ringing of the mobile phone rang Clara's daydream. He stared at the screen and the name he was familiar with.
"Why Om?" the answer.
"Ervin's there? he's accompanying you?" ask Frank.
"Yes Om, he's at my doorstep. Why why?" Clara wants to know.
"If you don't mind if he takes care of you at work and at home?" Frank was getting anxious.
"What's? the office? a home? what the hell do I mean?" Clara's confused.
"Ervin will take care of you wherever you are" Frank explained.
"But..." Clara was silent for a moment.
"Can't argue Miss! this is all for the sake of Miss's safety. I already know who poisoned your food and who was behind the evil plan" Frank explained.
"So it's true that I was poisoned?" Clara still can't believe it
"Yes, that's why Miss must be guarded. The only way is Ervin who will look after Miss wherever she goes" Frank quickly quipped before Clara denied it. Frank then decides on a call.
****
A week later
It's been a week Ervin's been accompanying Clara everywhere. He was even willing to sit and stand for hours accompanying the beautiful woman. But Clara still shows her rude and stubborn nature to Ervin. Especially when Ervin wrongly ordered the taste of food or drinks. Clara did not hesitate to curse him.
Ervin was sitting outside Clara's office. He looked at the secretary. There's a curiosity as to why the secretary put poison in Clara's food. I don't know why he still works in this office. Frank didn't fire him, the man even looked for the man behind the secretary.
Ervin leaned against the plastic chair. He gave a distant look considering Clara's attitude towards him. Her heart was worried between going back and forth to reach for Clara's love.
A woman Ervin knew approached the secretary, she whispered right in the ear of the secretary and the secretary stepped out of her place.
"Ervin, I miss you. I'm waiting at home but you're always with that fierce kid" he pointed to Clara's room.
Ervin glared in disbelief, he blinked his eyes repeatedly.
"What's? Madam didn't speak wrong?" Ervin nodded at his seat.
"No, you didn't hear me wrong. I miss you, I want you," seduced the woman by blinking her eyes at Ervin repeatedly.
'Apaan this is a very flirtatious aunt, ' his mind is amused.
Ervin was flabbergasted to see the woman who had a slight wander approaching him, let alone the woman puffing her chest and her gaze did not blink at all at him.
'I disguised myself as a driver to be close to Clara, why even this old woman who is drunk dear?' inner Ervin fretting.
The woman almost occupied Ervin's thigh which was still petrified in his seat. The sound of the doorknob opening made him void sitting on Ervin's lap.
"What's your case?" Clara's ruffled waist.
"What's your problem, Ra? you don't need to know what we're doing" her stepmother snuck her in arrogance.
"We didn't do anything Non," Ervin defended himself.
Ervin moved from his seat, he stepped closer to Clara at the door of his room.
"Ervin, come! let's continue on, "stepmother Clara dared tease him in front of her stepson.
Ervin shuddered in horror.
'Mending seduced by demons rather than seduced by an aging aunt, ' his inner self.
As Ervin neared Clara, he took refuge behind her body. Clara frowned in surprise as Ervin's countenance was frightened and it seemed that she was not used to being approached by a woman.
"Let's go home Vin!" Clara subconsciously pulled Ervin's hand.
'Alhamdulillah, congratulations, ' his mind is relieved.
They joined hands, upon entering the elevator Clara realized and stomped Ervin's hand violently.
"Lho, why did Non take off? I like it when Miss is tense," Ervin smiled faintly.
"WHAT? YOU WANT ME TO BE EASY?" shout Clara.
Fortunately, there were only two of them in the elevator.
"Yes no Non, I want to be eluted. Not slapped," Ervin refused.
"Diem don't have much to say! I accidentally pulled your hand!" Clara's staying away from Ervin.
Before the elevator was on the ground floor, all of a sudden the elevator they were riding on was shaken. Clara who wears high heels can't hold her balance. He bumps into Ervin's body, Ervin reflexively catches Clara's body, the two of them accidentally hug him due to the incident.
The look in their eyes clashed with each other, Ervin was stunned to see Clara's beautiful and shining brown eye bead. Clara felt something strange. His chest was pounding, his breathing as if tight as seeing the look on Ervin's face up close. They both sat still and looked at each other.
The elevator is back to normal, the clinking sound of the elevator makes Clara aware of her daydream. He's away from Ervin's body.
"Miss, why don't we hug until the door opens?" ervin said slowly. His eyes were still staring at Clara who was misbehaving due to the incident earlier.
"About you! that was unintentional! remember 'accidentally' keep that in mind!" his screeches. Clara walked out of the elevator after the door opened.
Ervin smiled broadly as he looked at his young Miss who blushed in embarrassment when saying the word unintentionally.
"Clara Adeline, soon you will be mine," murmured Ervin alone as he stepped up to Clara.
"Wait for me Non!" Ervin was half running.
He opened the car door for his employer. Clara didn't care about the driver. He entered without looking at Ervin.
After entering the car, Ervin starts the engine of the vehicle. He was ready to leave the office.
However, a peck on the windshield of his car dampened his desire.
"Open up! open quickly!" say someone at the car door.
"Miss, who is she Non?" Ervin looked at his master.
"Not mind him! if you still don't want to get out of the way, just hit it!" clara's orders.
"QUICK OPEN BR3NGS3K DRIVER!" yelled at someone.
"Road!" clara's orders.
Ervin was confused about what to do, he suddenly had an idea.
