Miss Your Hugs

Chapter 72

“What is Dion your brother?” shamila asked, after Dion's departure.

“More or less so. He takes care of my business if I'm not around, he's like my brother and best friend. Dion who is always beside me.”

Shamila smiled.

“Iya. It is clear, if he is a very nice and friendly man, also very handsome.” the compliment was unconsciously thrown from Shamila's mouth.

Erwin frowned.

“You seem to admire him so much?”

“Hah, no! uh sorry. I didn't mean..”

“You don't need to apologize,” interrupted Erwin.

Silent moment.

“Do you already have a lover? Sorry I asked so much, forget my question just now!” shamila felt guilty.

“Iya is okay,” says Erwin briefly.

“Shamila. I don't want you to expect more from our relationship. I'm afraid, if we're married later, it will hurt you.”

Shamila looked at Erwin who was sitting next to her.

“I'm sorry Shamila,” he added again.

Shamila sighed.

“You don't have to apologize. It's the will of our parents, so don't be a burden. Especially because of force,” said Shamila softly.

Shamila's words made Erwin feel guilty, Shamila was so mature.

“We can be friends,” he added again.

“Sorry,” says Erwin.

“Why are you sorry? I know it's hard for you, our parents betrothed Katakan. But, if we both refuse, they can what.”

Shamila said that with a forced smile, she knew that Erwin did not want her.

“Iya Shamila forgive me for this. I haven't been able to open my heart.”

“That's no problem, we can be friends.”

Seeing Shamila extend her hand, Erwin greeted her with a smile. Feeling relieved if Shamila also refused this matchmaking.

“Thanks,” says Erwin.

They took each other off their hands.

Long enough for them to talk, Erwin saw a clock coiled around his wrist.

“Shamila, sorry. I have an appointment with the client this afternoon. I promise, if I am in Jakarta later I will call you and take you for a walk,” said Erwin.

“Iya. I wait for your promise, don't forget to take Dion with you too yes,” Shamila said.

Erwin paused for a moment, then nodded.

“Let's go down,” take Erwin.

Shamila nodded, then they moved from her seat. While going down the stairs occasionally they joked and chuckled, without them noticing if Uncle and Madam Sharma were staring at them from the living room with a happy smile.

“You're back?” ask Uncle.

“Iya Uncle. I have an appointment with my client, sorry I can't chat for long.”

“Iya. You can meet again, when you are together in Jakarta later.”

“Iya Uncle,” says Erwin.

He said goodbye to everyone. However, he did not find his best friend sitting in the living room chair.

“Where are these lumps?” erwin said in his heart.

After saying goodbye, Erwin went straight out to his car. He reached into the cell phone in his pants pocket, to contact his best friend.

“You're looking for me?” asked Dion who appeared suddenly behind him.

“Gosh!” erwin said while stroking his chest because he was so surprised, his phone he was holding almost fell because of Dion.

“Damn you!” annoyed Erwin punched his best friend's shoulder. But it doesn't make him sick.

“Hahaha...! you here, what are you thinking? Until I don't see me sitting in the park,” said Dion laughing at his surprised best friend.

“Damn it!” erwin Umpat.

They entered the car, Dion started his car and left the big house of Pak Wijaya.

When they had gone out of the fence, Nadia was looking at them from the balcony of hers.

“Nadia is staring at us. Haven't you said goodbye to him?” erwin.

“Not yet. Leave it!” sahut Dion short he increased the speed of his car.

Erwin frowned in surprise, there was something strange about this attitude of his best friend. He knew very well that Dion's love died to his cousin's sister. However, today there was something different about Dion's attitude.

“You why?”

“Hah, Why what?” ask Dion back.

“Do you have a problem with Nadia? Your attitude is not as usual.”

“There is no problem between us!”

“I know if this has anything to do with Uncle. Aye right?”

Silent moment.

“It looks like from now on I will stop chasing Nadia,” Dion said.

Hearing Dion's words, Erwin turned his head towards him looking at him full of probes.

“Why? Do you have another lover?”

“Uncle is very hard. However, regarding the issue of happiness of his son, I am sure one day Uncle will definitely melt.”

“Fight, I'll help you.”

“Ck! I'm not sure,” chirped Dion.

“Avoid sure how?”

“Not sure if Nadia also wants me.”

“You are! Just so much of your courage, ckck! Weak..!” ejek Erwin's.

“Damn you!”

Haha...! Erwin let out a laugh, looking at Dion's pouting face.

“I'm sure, if Nadia also has the same feelings towards you. Seen from his face,” said Erwin.

“It looks like the profession is switching, more suitable to be a fortune teller only,” said Dion chuckled.

“You think I'm a shaman!” chirps Erwin.

Made Dion chuckle back.

***

A few minutes later, they arrived at the apartment. While at the door, Erwin's steps stopped when reading a message from one of his friends in Jakarta.

“Gosh! Is this true?” he said he read repeatedly the messages sent by his friend.

“Dion!!” shout Erwin.

Half-running, Dion came to Erwin who was still in the doorway.

“What the hell is it? Why should you scream?!”

“You must know this, right? Answer!” erwin snapped furiously revealing his phone right in front of Dion's face.

Dion quickly took the phone in Erwin's hand.

“Jawab?!” snapped again.

After reading the message, Dion nodded.

“You are so stupid! Why didn't you tell me? Huh!”

With anger mounting, Erwin pulled Dion's collar.

“Listen to my explanation first,” said Dion calmly.

“Omong empty!”

Releasing Dion's collar violently, made Dion's body slightly recoil.

“Come in first, I'll explain inside,” Dion tries to hold Erwin's shoulder. However, Erwin first brushed off Dion's hand.

“Do not touch me!” erwin's wrath left Dion still in the doorway.

Erwin sat down roughly on the sofa.

“What else is waiting for?! You already know Nisa's accident, why don't you tell, Stupid!” snapped again.

“Not want to tell you. I'm just putting it off, 'cause you're going to your uncle's house today. What if you can't control your emotions there?! I'm just protecting you.”

“I just don't want if your Uncle finds out, if you love a married woman!”

“Omong empty!” ketus Erwin's.

“As far as you are! The important thing is I've done my job to protect you.”

After saying that, Dion got up from his seat. However, his steps came to a halt when Erwin called out to him.

“Dion, I'm sorry. Thank you for protecting me,” Erwin said feeling guilty.

Dion sat back to where he was before.

“Huft...! forget!”

“How is Nisa doing now?” tanyanya was very worried.

“Now that Nisa is in the hospital, Nisa is already past her critical period. The culprit is still in police pursuit.”

“This was a deliberate accident?” ask Erwin.

Dion nodded.

“Not yet known for sure the motive.”

“Bigger! I won't forgive him!” furious Erwin.

“Hold your emotions, leave everything to the authorities. I don't mind if you want to act, even I will help you, if Nisa is still unmarried. However, this is different!”

“Iya I understand!” ketus Erwin's.

“Good. I'm just keeping your good name.”

Ting, a message came in from Dion's phone. He frowned at the incoming message.

“What's up?” ask Erwin.

“Where did Shamila get my number?” dion asked Erwin while squinting his eyes.

Erwin chuckled straight away from his seat.

“It looks like Shamila likes you more than me,” cried Erwin while laughing when he was on the doorstep of his room.

“Damn you! Turns out you really made me a scapegoat!” detestation Dion.
