My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S2): Erika's Story 2 END

After breakfast, his father, mother, and brother went to work. Erika stays at home looking after her little sister. He sells his handicrafts to people and the results are quite satisfactory and they like the crafts. It was already noon after giving her sister lunch, Erika went back for a walk in the forest, while her sister played with friends her age.

Erika took a walk on the outskirts of the forest while humming cheerfully. His steps came to a halt when he saw Jerome sitting at the root of a large tree daydreaming and his facial expression looked sad. Erika approached him.

‘’You okay?’

Jerome looked at her sadly, then immediately grabbed Erika slowly, then slowly Jerome let go of her embrace and still looked at her sadly.

‘’Yesterday dad said he would marry me to another girl named Aine Kerr from a neighboring village."

‘’What? That means he doesn't agree with our relationship."

‘’I haven't told dad about us."

‘’Eh..’’

‘’Yesterday night I wanted to tell dad, but he was talking about my matchmaking, because I was so angry that dad finally I canceled to talk about us. Excuse me. I'll try to talk to him tonight."

‘’How if your father does not agree?’’

‘’Entalah. Maybe we'll elope, 'cause I love you so much and don't want to lose you."

‘’Jerome."

Erika hugged him tightly. The wind blows blowing flying the leaves that have fallen.

‘’We'd better go home. It's not good we're here longer. What's more if there's a village man catching our wet here."

Jerome stood up and cleaned his pants. His hand took the leaf that was in Erika's hair, then smiled gently at her.

‘’Besok meet me here as usual. I'll bring you the news of the conversation with my father later tonight."

‘’Good. I must have come."

They then walked apart as they approached the village crowd. Erika felt uneasy at the news that Jerome would tell her. She also felt sad, as Jerome's father had already betrothed her to another woman. Without feeling a single tear had fallen. In front of her house Erika tidied herself up before entering. The atmosphere in the house looks quiet and dark. He lights the lights.

The sun has completely sunk. People began to enter their homes. Dinner was served at the table. The lethargic faces on the faces of his parents and brother. They ate dinner in silence. Suddenly there was a very strong knock at the door.

They were shocked and looked at each other. His mother stood up and opened the door. Security officers barged in. All the members of Erika's family were shocked by the arrival of the security guards. Erika's younger sister was frightened and hid behind her body.

‘’What is this?’’ask father.

‘’What are you named Cleo Duncan?’’ask one of the security guards.

‘’True," said Erika's father.

‘’You we caught."

‘’Whataa?’’exclaims his mother

Erika and her family were shocked and looked at each other. He approached the security officers.

‘’Why did you guys catch my dad?’’

‘’Your father has practiced black magic and resulted in one of the villagers dying today."

‘’Eh...’’word Erika wonder.

‘’Please don't catch my dad. He doesn't practice black magic. My father couldn't have done that, because my father wasn't a shaman. Don't arrest my father without proof."

‘’The evidence is already there, which is the testimony of the person who saw you perform black magic in a house and caused the owner of the house to die."

‘’Whataa?I can't believe it. My father couldn't have done it."

Erika's face was filled with tears as well as her mother's. Security officers dragged his father out. When the villagers gathered in his house and whispers were heard, and his father was thrown into prison.

The next morning there was no joy in Erika's house that there was only sadness . Her mother and sister were laid off from their jobs and Erika experienced the same. All orders of handicrafts ordered were cancelled. Now the villagers hate Duncan's family. Erika had absolutely no idea who had spread slander about her father. She kept crying in her room.

💔💔💔

Erika Duncan looked at Gilbert. Gilbert's face seemed tense listening to his story.

‘’I was 20 years old. When my father was arrested for a deed he never did. It was the worst day for me and my family. Every day you cry and we get lost."

" In modern times, there are still people who believe in magic" Gilbert said.

" In Haiti some residents still believe. There's a lot of shamans."

" Continue your story."

The eyes of the villagers looked towards Erika who was walking in a hurry and they were whispering and talking bad things about her family. He ran to avoid talking to the villagers. His face was smiling, when he saw Jerome sitting at the root of a tree holding a twig.

‘’Have long waited."

Jerome looked at her coldly and scared Erika.

‘’Why didn't you tell me your dad was a shaman?’’

‘’My father was a shaman, but he didn't practice black magic. My father has been slandered by someone. I know my father so well and there's no way I'm gonna kill anyone."

‘’You know that there are no shamans here, if found out they will be sentenced to death."

‘’I know it,’’he said sadly.

‘’Then we'll never be together."

‘’What do you mean Jerome?’’

‘’I want to break our relationship."

‘’What? Butwhy? Does your family not approve of our relationship?’’

‘’I've spoken to my father and he's mad at me. I've tried to make him understand that I love you so much, but my father is so stubborn. His decision to marry me to Aine was irreversible, but now that your father is a black shaman and has killed people, I can't be with you anymore."

Tears kept flowing down Erika's face.

‘’So you didn't believe my words earlier. Why don't you believe me in the slightest that my father isn't who the people here say he is. I'm disappointed you chose to trust people's words instead of mine."

‘’My father couldn't possibly have told to arrest someone, if that person was really innocent."

‘’Eh..wait! so your father told the security guard to arrest my father."

Jerome just kept quiet and just looked at Erika with a horrified expression on his face.

‘’True. My father will hold a meeting to punish your father. If found guilty, they'll put your father to death on fire."

‘’Whataa?That can't happen. I don't want my father to die. I need to talk to them that my father is innocent and we're postponing the conversation to get here. I don't want to break up with you. I love you."

Erika just ran to the prison to see her father. They let Erika see her father. Meanwhile the village chief was leading a meeting to impose punishment on Cleo Duncan.

‘’Daddy is fine right?’’asked Erika while crying.

‘’Dad is okay. How are your mother and your brother and sister?’’

‘’They're fine. They were very sad, because my father was arrested. I don't know who's been slandering you."

‘’I don't know who it is either."

‘’I'll find a way to get dad released."

Erika went straight to the village chief in her house and barged in. Security guards arrested him.

‘’Let go of me. Release."

Erika rebelled and tried to break away from the security guard. He stomped his foot and the officer let go and ran as fast as he could. The village chief was talking to his wife in the garden while enjoying tea. They were both shocked by his arrival at home. The man stared hard at him.

‘’You what are you doing here?’’

‘’Please release my father. He's innocent."

‘’It's impossible. Your father was found guilty. There were some people who saw your father enter one of the houses and killed him with black magic possessed by your father. You know it's forbidden to kill using magic."

‘’I beg you to let go of my father. I'll do anything as long as my father's free."

The village chief seemed to be thinking and smiling evilly.

‘’I'll let go of your father, if you want to stay away from my son, Jerome and don't get in touch with him anymore."

‘’What? I can't do that. I'd do anything, but not by staying away from Jerome. I love her."

Erika left with a face that was already filled with tears. His heart was now filled with worry. Between his father and his girlfriend. He kept himself locked up in the room while thinking about his father Jerome's words.

The next morning Erika woke up with her eyes so did her mother. He wants to bring back the joy in his family again. He wanted to see the smile on his mother's face again, even though he had to lose his loved ones.

💔💔💔

Jerome sat pensively in his backyard and did not hear a call from Drogo, his uncle. His uncle held his shoulder and Jerome jumped in shock.

‘’Turnamed uncle. Uncle has surprised me."

Drogo, his uncle is as ambitious as his brother. He's crazy for wealth and power.

‘’I from earlier called you like you didn't listen to my call earlier."

‘’Sorry."

‘’You're still thinking about the daughter of the Duncan family?’’

‘’Iya."

‘’It's better to forget her and marry Aine. That girl deserves you more. I don't agree that you keep in touch with him. Now you see it turns out his father was a criminal. Do you want him to be your father-in-law?’’

‘’Of course not."

‘’Then don't see the girl again. You have to break up your relationship."

Jerome was silent and his uncle left Jerome in the confusion of his heart. Drogo went to his brother's room and there they laughed happily, because the plan they made worked.

‘’Drogo, your plan is great. You've managed to frame his father and make him a murder suspect. Anything I would do to keep Jerome away from Erika Duncan,’’ Drogo said with a happy smile.

‘’But we have to make Jerome really hate Erika,’’data Drogo.

‘’How to?’’ask Alvin, Jerome's father.

‘’Send everything to me. I'm sure this plan will work."

Drogo smiled evilly and his brain was already composed of evil plans.

Erika walks into the forest to meet Jerome one last time. Jerome has not been seen, usually he always comes sooner than the promised time. Erika waits where Jerome always waits for her arrival. Minutes after minutes had passed and hours after hours had also passed, Jerome had not seen the trunk of his nose.

Erika was exhausted waiting for her to finally come home. Her heart was sad not to be able to meet him one last time. He walks to Hunt's house and meets Alvin, the village chief.

‘’So what's your decision ?’’

‘’I'll meet your requirements to stay away from Jerome."

‘’Good. Tomorrow night you and your family should get out of here."

‘’I understand."

Erika then leaves with a very sad feeling and her eyes search for Jerome, but Erika does not find him and with a shaky step Erika leaves the Hunt family home.

On the way home his eyes caught a familiar person, Jerome. He walked with a beautiful and very graceful woman. Erika looked at them with a sad and bitter look. Jerome who realized Erika was looking at him was directly wrong. Erika left by running away with her sad feelings. Jerome just looked at him go .

‘’Jerome, what is it?’’

‘’Nothing Aine. Let's go home!’’

Erika who had arrived home immediately cried in her kitchen, even though she had agreed to part with Jerome, but her heart was not.

💔💔💔

" What happened after that?"

" I was framed by someone. There was an unknown man suddenly kissing me forcibly and Jerome came to see everything. He was so angry with me and our relationship was broken forever."

" What happened to your father?"

" Alvin and Drogo who have slandered my father practiced black magic and they did not keep their promise to me to release my father. I was very angry at that time. My father was eventually put to death by burning. Our family hated them so much. Jerome burned down my house, so my mother and sister burned in it."

" Why did Jerome burn down your house?"

" He was consumed by rumors from his own uncle, that I was going to marry my cheating man."

" It's so cruel to them."

" My brother and I decided to go to Los Angeles to live with my grandmother's grandmother."

" Where is your brother now?"

" My brother died of illness after one of our stays in Los Angeles."

" Do you still love Jerome?"

"No. I have forgotten my love for him. For 15 years I have been living happily with my grandmother. Grandma was also a shaman and she used to live in Haiti. So you still want to be my lover?"

" Of course, Erika. It's your past and I don't mind it anymore."

" Thank you."

Gilbert was very happy, then grabbed Erika's hand and kissed her. " Thank you for being my girlfriend."

They went back to eating together.

💔💔💔

Miya and Fabian planned to go to the restaurant, but many reporters still gathered in front of the mansion. They want to talk about Clarissa. Almost all the media are talking about Clarissa coming back to life. Miya and Fabian came out of the mansion and reporters immediately stormed it.

Security officers were overwhelmed by the reporters. Their car was finally able to detach from the reporters.

" They still want to know about Clarissa" Miya said.

" Just leave them. We don't have any more stories about Clarissa."

The two of them enter the Golden Rush restaurant and they meet Gilbert and Erika there.

" Fabian, Miya. How's your kabad?"

" We're fine" Fabian replied.

" It turns out you two are on a date here" Miya said.

Gilbert and Erika looked timid.

" So you guys are really dating?"ask Fabian.

"Erika and I are officially lovers" Gilbert replied.

Fabian and Miya cheered happily.

" Congratulations to you both" said Miya.

"Thank you" replied Erika.

" Gil, you finally have another girlfriend after all this time" Fabian said.

" Yes." Yeah."

"Let's have a toast" Fabian said.

They then laughed happily. Fabian embraced his wife's shoulder with overflowing feelings of happiness. [ ]
