Never Go Back

The Strange Feelings

It's been almost a week since Erin gave Niko a loan, but since then Niko hasn't gotten a job call. Even Niko herself is often not in her boarding house, it then makes Erin feel anxious. Especially when remembering, from where he got the money. The fear of his mother's anger if she knew what He was doing, made Erin even more thoughtful.

"Why are you, Er..? From then on I noticed you were just silent and daydreaming." asked Ermi's mother who could feel, that her daughter was having problems.

"Why not, ma'am." answered Erin briefly.

"Are you still in touch with Niko..? Then how's your relationship with Aika, Er..?"

Not without reason Ermi's mother asked that, because besides He knew Erin's relationship with Niko was re-established. It was also because for a long time Aika never again came to her house, it made Ermi's mother wonder and suspect that their relationship was not okay.

"Mom, don't ask too many questions. I'm afraid to talk about them, make my head even more dizzy." Erin grumbled that made her mind increasingly chaotic, thinking of Niko who until now still has not got a job. In addition to Aika, whom he knows is now close to his co-worker, Ashika. For some reason, it made Erin feel dislike and kept thinking about it.

"Because I want to know Erin, is Aika okay..? Because lately he has never come home again." said Ermi's mother without covering up her anxiety.

"Yeah Ma'am, Aika is fine." said Erin as she got up from her seat, then walked into the room.

Not long after that, he came back out of the room dressed neatly in blue jeans and a light brown shirt.

"Where are you going, Er..? It's been this night.." Ermi's mother immediately approached Erin who was just walking past her without turning her head towards her.

"I want to go out for a while, Mom, there is business." Erin replied as she passed away leaving her mother who still wanted to talk to her.

"Do you want to see Niko..? Then what about Aika, Er..?" asked Ermi's mother who was still not satisfied with the answer that had been given by Erin to him.

"I have nothing to do with Aika anymore, Mom.. So it's better from now on you don't ask me anything about her.."

After saying that, Erin immediately left the house. While his mother was still standing glued to look at him in front of the door, hearing what Erin had just said. As if He was in disbelief, there was a sense of sadness and guilt that He now felt. Especially when remembering all the kindness of Aika to him and also Erin during this time, but now Erin again makes Aika disappointed by choosing with others.

Arriving at Niko's boarding house, Erin tries to knock on the door and calls out the man's name. But after a while there was no answer from inside, Erin approached the glass window and glued her face.

"Niko where yaa, in there is no.." Erin murmured in the heart.

Disappointed, Erin decides to go to Aika's house. For some reason Aika's shadow suddenly appeared in her mind, her dislike for Ashika was also getting bigger. What else remembering what Ashika had said to her back then, made her heart ache.

Meanwhile, in another place, Aika was busy chatting with her brother and Ashika who was also there. While chatting, the three of them also played with Syira who at that time happened to still not sleep. Occasionally Ashika looked at Aika silently, She saw Aika's eyes somewhat moist.

"It seems that Aika is still very sad and crying because of Erin.." Ashika muttered inwardly, turning her gaze away as Aika turned to look at her.

"You continue to chat first, Brother wants to bring Syira into the room. It seems like he's getting sleepy." said Alya to the two who just nodded their heads.

"Where is the state of your heart now Ai, is it so much better..?" ashika asked when she saw Alya had entered the room.

Hearing Ashika's question, Aika immediately sighed heavily and smiled. "I wish it was Shik, but maybe I still need a lot of time to be able to accept everything and get used to the current situation.." Aika again tried to strengthen herself, although now sadness came back to her heart.

"Yeah Ai, I can understand. You just need time to go through all the processes." Ashika replied with a smile and cheered her best friend.

The sound of knocking on the door from outside made Aika and Ashika turn to the front door. "Who's coming, Ai..?"

"Either Shik, I look ahead." said Aika who immediately got up from her seat.

"I'm coming..!" exclaims Ashika who followed Aika's steps from behind.

Aika held the doorknob, then slowly opened it. "Erin..?! What are you doing here..?" asked Aika who at that time also felt surprised by Erin's arrival..

"You don't want to tell me to come in first..?" Erin who wanted to walk into the house, was immediately stopped by Aika..

"Chat outside." said Aika as she pulled Erin's hand to follow her.

While Ashika who had been hiding behind curtains, now chose to go into Aika's room. For some reason, he was not happy to see Aika with Erin. Though previously ordinary, plus their relationship is also over. But the feeling he is currently feeling is difficult to interpret, a feeling that makes him uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Ai, I know that I was wrong with you. Because it's disappointing for you, but I don't want our relationship to end. I still love and still want to be with you, Ai." said Erin while holding Aika's hand..

"I can't, better now you go home." said Aika who immediately brushed off Erin's hand..

"Why can't Ai, is it because of that seductive woman..?!" accuse Erin..

"Who do you mean by seductresses..?" ask Aika who still does not understand what Erin said to her.

"Who else if not your coworker, I know that he willfully approach you and snatch you from me." Erin replied with annoyance.

"Whoever wants to be close to me, it's none of your business. Our business is done, so now you go home.." Aika got up from her seat and walked to get inside the house, but her steps stopped as Ashika was also about to come out.

"Where are you going, Shik..?" asked Aika who was looking at Ashika with her small bag.

"I want to go home first, Ai." replied Ashika with a smile.

"Ohh, so this seductress is here, why are you here..? You better get going..!" erin yelled at Ashika's hand and pushed her.

"Enough, Erin..! The one that should have gone was you, not him..!" resolute Aika who could no longer be patient and held back her anger.

"Do not let the two of you have a relationship, so you always just defend him." accused Erin again.

"What if there is a relationship, it is none of your business. After all, she is a good woman, not a seductive woman like you said.." said Aika while looking at Ashika while smiling meaningfully.

"Let's go in, you stay at home." take Aika to Ashika while embracing her and walk into the house leaving Erin who is getting emotional.

"Aika..! I'm not done talking..!" yelled Erin who also wanted to come in, but was immediately stopped by Alya who was suddenly out to meet him.

"Hey boy..! Better now you go home, or I'll call the people to drive you out screaming like crazy. Huhhhh..!" alya snapped which made Erin feel shrunken and rushed away from her house...

Seriate...
