"uhukk..." Nico awoke from a moment's sleep when he heard Erika's coughing voice.
"You awake?" erika just stared at him weakly.
"I'm thirsty." replied the beautiful doctor weakly,Nico grabbed a glass of water on a small table beside the bed.She helped Erika sit down and gave her a drink.Slightly vibrate Erika drink it.At night not eating and drinking makes her body weak.
"Please get me a sweet drink." Nico grabs the cell phone in his pocket and calls the butler to bring his wife some warm tea.Erika throws away the pandagan when their eyes look at each other.Nico is about to ask,but urung because he saw the state of Erika who was still weak powerless.When he tried to bring Erika into his arms, the woman moved away.She chose to fall back on the bed and close her eyes.
Before long, the waiter came to bring her sweet tea.Nico will sit Erika again, but her wife has signaled the waiter to get closer.She got up herself, took a glass and drank it.
"Thank you bi." she said later.The servant nodded and left.Erika again put herself down and lay on her back to Nico.The secretary began to wonder.
"Erika, we need to talk." Nico grabbed his shoulders gently and turned his wife's body.Erika looked at him coldly.
"What's the secretary?" Nico was glued to his place.Didn't he hear wrong?why did Erika call him so formal, just like when they first met.The trace of disappointment seemed real on his handsome face.
"You...what did you call me?" his eyes stared intently at Erika's jet-black eyeball.
"What do we need to talk about, Mr Nico?" firmly Erika again.Nico gripped the bed sheet firmly.Erika really tested her patience.
"Call me as you always call me Erika." her hiss was close to Erika's face, but the woman turned her face away.
"Sorry, the call is no longer valid."
"why?i'm your husband!"
"no longer mister Nicholas Kendrich." jolted Erika coldly.Nico widened in shock.Not because of Erika's jolt just now, but because the flat face in front of him gleamed full of anger.Di never saw his wife in this phase.
"We are still Erika's husband and wife.The court has not decided our divorce." Nico stared fixedly at his wife, no more affection from her thin lips.
"The court only gave us a letter of recognition.Not all relationships can be separated also linked to only a letter of Mr. Nicholas." nico looks like he sees himself in Erika's body.Now he knows how annoying he is in the eyes of others.
"You're still my wife.I've pulled all your lawsuit files from the court" he said firmly while gripping his wife's arm.Erika laughed discordantly looking like mocking him.
"You pull it or not it won't change anything sir.In religion you've been no longer my husband since we last met in Latanza."
"I swear I didn't do anything to Ayya."
"i don't need your vows, I just want you to remember what happened when I handed you my wedding ring." Nico loosened his grip because he saw Erika cringing in pain.Anger made him forget many things.
Nico's memories drift on Latanza hotel.Erika and Aira's place catches her wet and Ayya making out in the hotel room.The wife even acts very graceful and mature at that time.
"*Erika don't go!" his orders when the beautiful doctor stepped on the door after handing over their wedding ring.Not stopping, the woman even walked faster.Again Nico yelled at him.
"Shut up at your place.If you take a step out of that door, then I will not hesitate to part with you." threatened again.But Erika kept the door open without hesitation until Nico lost his patience.
"Well, from now on you're not my wife anymore!" then Erika's shadow disappears*.
"you have dropped my talaq, sir." said Erika sounded full of heartache.When Nico fell silent.Now he realized one thing, he was the person most guilty of the departure of Erika.By dropping talak, he was the most guilty,he had driven Erika out of her home.
"I'm sorry.but I'm completely unaware of what I'm saying Erika.Return to me.We'll reorganize this household."
"Ta, can I ask you a favor?" erika's voice shook.His knees were not so able to support his weight until it looks staggering.Sense of dizziness is still perched on his head.
"yes.say."
"Take me to my rented house."
"But it's Erika's night.You better rest first.Tomorrow morning I'll have people take you." Shinta held both of her best friend's shoulders.
"Help me just this once.Life I'll owe you.Please.for our friendship." Shinta turned to Michael worried.Suami was instead looking at Nico who was like a dazed person.But not exhausted his surprise, Erika had dropped down, hugging his feet.Shinta retreated....
"What are you doing Erika?" his screeches.
"Well, let me ask God for help through you, Ta." Shinta hurriedly grabbed Erika's body and hugged her.She felt Erika's shoulder shaken.The woman held back her crying in silence.Shinta only realized, Erika was so hurt.
"Come on!" Without waiting for Michael's approval, Shinta leads Erika down.Stephanie who will go up to her room is shocked.
"Where are you going?"
"Introduction to Erika home."
"Where is Nico's secretary, why isn't he the one who dropped Erika off?" Shinta did not answer.
"Shink!" The baritone Mic's voice made him turn.
"Honey, let Nico drive Erika home."
"but mas...."
"Dear." Shinta was silent in her place, not daring to answer again.Nico moved quickly holding Erika's slow body.
"I'm sorry young master." Mic nodded.Nico tightened his embrace as he felt Erika's trembling body in his arms.
"I want to go home." complained Erika weakly.
"We're going home." insisted Nico as he entered the car.
"I'm going to my contract."
"Erika listen...as long as the court hasn't decided on our divorce, you'll stay in my house.If you don't want to room or see me, then I'll avoid you.I promise you that." No answer.The car kept on going.
"I hate you, Nicholas" he said in a weak voice.
"Erika, calm down." said Nico gently as she rubbed her head gently.
Erika closed her eyes.After that she returned unconscious.Heavy shock so shook herself.Nico clenched her forehead, then leaned Erika's head in her arms.So she rumbled between strange feelings and the fear of loss that mingled into one.
"I won't let you go Erika.Whatever happens." she whispered later.
