The Ancestral Inheritance Match
Chapter 114
Thalia left the hotel courtyard with mixed feelings. Pleased, sad, and confused together to make Thalia's soul as if detached from her body. A dream come true, meeting Erick was not part of his plan.
Thalia pulled her car over, thinking she remembered Erick's words.
"The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to take them off and knowing when to say goodbye." Thalia repeated Erick's words, her tears melting again.
"Yup, this is the toughest part of Erick's life. After Rendy and now you." Thalia leaned her head dizzy.
Her mind was complicated, Thalia could not yet separate her illusion and the reality she was facing. "Should this path I choose Erick, should I strip off my ego now?!"
His clenched hands violently resisted the taste. "Meeting you wasn't Erick's fault, I don't regret it."
For a moment Thalia calmed down and wiped away her tears. Surprised by his cell phone call, Erick feels Thalia's uneasiness.
"Well nyampe?"
"Ehm, it's just now." Thalia lied to Erick.
"No, you're not there yet. I know that, don't mind me Thalia. Learning despite the pain."
Thalia just kept quiet and listened, Erick could see it with Thalia's eyes and vice versa. "Yes." Yeah."
"Bah road again, it's too late danger on the road alone."
"OK." Thalia simply answered briefly and closed the call.
Thalia let out a long sigh, her head dizzy at the thought of what she was going through. "You can, I can!"
Thalia turned her car back to the road and returned home. The clock is one o'clock in the morning, this is a record for Thalia. He never left until this late.
Living room lights have even been turned off only remaining dim lights in the family room only. Thalia walked with heavy steps, and suddenly she was surprised by the presence of someone waiting for her in the living room.
"David?!"
David who had been waiting for her smiled at Thalia's arrival.
"For Thalia."
"Well, it's morning." Thalia answered him clumsily, feeling caught coming home in the wee hours.
"Sorry, I'm waiting for you here. Do you mind?"
"Ehm, no. But, why? Where's Sean?"
"He's asleep. Thalia .. I have something to talk to you about." David approaches Thalia and asks Thalia to sit down.
"What's this about? How can I be suspicious of gini?"
David smiled again, "Nothing, I just wanted to say something. Can I start?!"
"..."
"Just listen to me, Thalia."
"Thalia, I know it's too soon for us but .. I feel sure of how I feel."
"meaning?" Thalia was confused.
"Thalia, I love you. Will you be my wife, one for all time."
Thalia was shocked by David's sudden and quick speech. "What?!"
"I'm serious Thalia, will you accept me by your side .. accompany you in joy and sorrow, forever?"
David clasped Thalia's hand tightly, and now David has changed position. Kneel in front of Thalia and they stare at each other. There was doubt in Thalia's eyes, Erick's shadow still filled her heart but fate wanted them to part.
"Australia …"
"You doubt, you don't need to answer now. Whatever your answer is, I'm ready."
Thalia looked at David, she could not believe everything was changing so quickly. Its like a miracle.
"Yes, I want David. I want to be your wife."
"really? You accept my proposal?"
Thalia nodded, David hugged her tightly. He was so happy. Her wait for a few hours paid off already with Thalia's words.
"Thank you, Thalia. I really love you!"
Many times David kissed Thalia, he could no longer stem her happiness. The lights suddenly lit up brightly, and a clap of hands sounded.
"Sean? You haven't slept?"
"Of course not, where maybe I passed a romantic scene like this. Like in a romantic scene in a novel right?!"
"South?!" thalia protest
"Why? I also read Thalia's novel, it's like the scene of a CEO who is still thinking of his subordinates, right?" Sean teases Thalia.
"You read a novel? romance novels?" Thalia chuckles.
"Why? You're not the only one who likes to read, me to?! Haaaiish, forget that! David I'm proud of you bro?!" Sean approaches David who congratulates him.
"You can soften this fierce woman's heart, amazing. I'm so happy, and you Thalia .. time to reorganize your life. You desire to be happy." Sean hugged Thalia tightly.
"Be happy Thalia, and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Forget what happened, forget about him. Your future is here." Sean gives advice while gently rubbing Thalia's back.
"I will Sean. I will, and thank you for everything."
It was a surprise night for Thalia. That sadness changes with happiness. Thalia tries to rise up and conquer the magical bond that holds her back. And it will start with her wedding.
...----------------...
Thalia arrives at the hotel where Erick is staying. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Erick opened it.
"Hi." he said with a smile.
"Well, it's still connecting well huh?!" They both smile.
"Is that sorted out?"
"Udah, don't bring anything."
"The lunch?"
"Yuk dah laper also stomach."
Erick prepared and Thalia waited for him for a moment. He stared at the beautiful ring that had now been coiled around his ring finger. From his place Erick noticed Thalia who looked riled up.
"What's wrong?" Erick asked and walked over to Thalia who was staring out the window.
"Nothing's." Thalia answered without looking at Erick.
"Nothing? But that night, tell me what happened?"
Erick's courage led him to embrace Thalia from behind, down Thalia's neck and give her a wet kiss there.
"Erick, dangerous! Don't do that beb!" Thalia reminded, she was afraid that the desire would reappear.
"Just a little bite, no more." Erick's mischievous thoughts begin to overwhelm him. A few small kisses landed gently back.
They looked at each other, "Erick, I will marry."
"I know that, I see that moment."
"He proposed to me last night."
"Who?"
"David."
Erick smiled and tidied Thalia's hair. "You deserve to be happy Thalia. I'm happy for you. You finally found your soul mate."
"Is this my best decision?"
"Why is it to me, it's Thalia's life. But if you have my opinion, that's the best. You can't be alone forever, right, you need a companion. Something I can't do for you, real love."
"Yeah, you're right." said Thalia slowly.
"Sad again? The Face it Thalia. I know you're strong."
Thalia smiled, "I'm hungry, so eat?"
"Well, I'm hungry too. Get down yuk."
They had lunch together, interspersed with small talk and jokes typical of the two of them. "This abbis you try to write horror, so that it can be all genres."
"Ehm, great idea. My life is also full of glory, I think I can." said Thalia with a smile.
"Ordinary horror writers are kind of beb."
"It's a little slanted, like you."
They laughed again, Thalia peeking at the clock on her phone. "Well two o'clock more, hope yuk?!"
"What a spit?" Erick saw the clock on his phone too.
"Why, would you like to go back again?"
"No, I'm afraid I forgot my way home."
Thalia smiled at Erick's reply, if she used to flutter every time she heard it now Thalia just thought it was a joke.
They returned to Erick's room to check out from the hotel immediately. Erick has to check in immediately at the airport. Thalia clasped Erick's hand, for the last moment.
"We will never meet again, right." asked Thalia as she entered the elevator.
"Maybe, why?" Erick looked at Thalia, a face he had only imagined in his imagination.
"May I kiss you, for the last. One kiss no more." pinta Thalia.
"Sure, come close and open your lips."
"Erick, we're not talking anymore. Its real!" Thalia's grouse was met with a small bite from Erick at the corner of her lips.
The warm kiss continued deeply and more demandingly, and it almost heated up if it was not consciously stopped by the two. Erick rubs Thalia's wet lips, and,
"I will miss you and all the good memories about us."
"Me too's. I love you Erick."
"Udah is like one of the scenes in your novel." Thalia smiled as she recalled the kiss scene in the elevator in Erick's romantic novel.
"Eh, yes, too. You want that scene?"
"Why not want, fitting the scene I'm jealous, really sprained his shadow."
"It's just in the novel, why laugh at the feelings."
"Erick, we're under the influence of what bond did you forget?"
"Yes, too, don't remember. It's over now."
They arrived at the airport just as the call to check in was heard.
"It's time."
"Thanks for everything Erick."
"Thanks for everything too Thalia, don't think me ok. May you be happy with him, my best wishes are for you. Don't forget the invitation for me."
"Ok, so we don't see you again?"
"No, for the good of us together."
"I Will Miss you Erick."
"We can still chat and support each other right? We're brothers now, and it's better than any bond."
Thalia nodded and smiled. "Can I hug you?"
"Sure." Erick hugged Thalia tightly not to forget also gave a kiss of farewell on Thalia's forehead, the woman who had been stealing his attention all along.
"I'm leaving first, Thalia. Take care of yourself, take care of your health, and love me funny niece okay?!"
Thalia took off Erick with a chest. At least there is certainty that he got from the meeting with Erick. Thalia was no longer living in someone's shadow, Thalia was no longer second, and Thalia knew she had a place in Erick's heart even though Erick always denied it.
"I still love you Erick, the presence or absence of that bond. You will always be a part of my life. Thanks for introducing me to the love I forgot."
Erick's plane took off, "Goodbye Erick, you'll be there and always in my heart."
