Thalia decided to stay home. Sean was at his restaurant. A message from Vina came through the messenger app.
"Off day?"
"Yes, why?"
"Time to review Sky video, I send to your email."
(i sent it to your email)
"OK."
Shortly thereafter, the email came in. There were about five videos Vina sent. Since Qiara's incident he has not checked his email at all. Thalia opened one by one Vina's videos.
The first day Sky seemed enthusiastic about counting green beans, but as usual in the fifth minute he was bored. Persuasion done by his caregivers he finally continued but only up to three minutes. After that the bowl was thrown Sky to the floor.
The second day repeated the same incident only this time he did it for seven minutes and thirty seconds. After that, everything was thrown away.
The third day was the same, there was no change and entering the fifth day Heaven began to concentrate. He could count for quite a long time, at least up to almost half a bowl with twelve minutes. Record for him. Thalia smiled, "Good job Sky."
Vina provided an additional video about the other tasks Thalia had given Sky. He did quite well for five days despite the occasional Heaven breaking down like a child his age. Thalia smiled again, Sky development is quite good. The absence of interference from the five Dutch children made the sky easier to control.
Thalia closed her email, she wrote down some special notes to Vina over the evaluation of Sky. It is also Vina's duty as her mother to continue to monitor and support Sky.
"Hopefully the heavens can further show positive development."
Thalia opens her novel app, she re-writes a new story. The figure of Erick who became the companion of the main character in his novel makes Thalia a little problematic. He felt uncomfortable, his imagination could not be let go. It was as if Erick was always watching him, and the character was alive.
"It felt like he was facing him head-on. Why am I ashamed, let alone having to write a romantic scene." he muttered to himself.
He returned to writing but only lasted a little. Thalia shy. His face was flushed when it came to writing romantic scenes between the two main characters.
"Oh my God .. I can't do this! Oh my God, why so embarrassed. Okay the only way I have to eliminate this character, if not where can I make a story."
"He lives, as if beside me I write. My face got hot like this .. gosh!" Thalia covered her face as if Erick was really in front of her.
"Fix, he I lost first. Let's make it good. I showed him at the end of the episode."
Thalia returns to writing and describes her feelings of losing Erick's distant figure. Her tears suddenly shed on their own.
"I think I'm too absorbed in writing. Until it's so cry."
The discomfort again attacked Thalia this time he felt very sad and agitated. The feeling was so painful that Thalia immediately ran to the bathroom. The discomfort made her nauseous and Thalia vomited all over her stomach.
"Erick, does that hurt? It feels uncomfortable."
Thalia could not control her body, she chose to rest. Close his eyes and forget that feeling. Stop thinking about Erick is his choice.
But one more time, it did not work …,
(But again, it didn't work)
Thalia was limp, she was really in pain her mind there was only one.
Erick, I need you now, please!
A message from Erick came.
"Hi, what else?"
"sick."
"???"
"Are you ok Erick?"
"Yes, why?"
"Because I'm not okay. My body hurts."
"Don't think of me, you should be able to learn to take your mind off me. Don't go too deep!"
"How can Erick?!" (how's it going, Erick?!)
"I didn't think of you at all, but it came by itself!"
"Sleep, it can ease the pain."
"Did that work for you?"
"Sometimes, there's no harm in trying, right?"
"Okay, I tried."
Thalia surprised. That was the first time Erick called him Beb. Thalia blushed, she was so happy. Although his body felt pain that made him nauseous, Beb's call was like an analgesic drug for Thalia. He smiled and did not reply to Erick's message.
...----------------...
At night Thalia felt better, although the pain was still felt but, at least much better. He stared at the screen of his phone and read Erick's message. Thalia blushed. Erick sent a message back shortly.
"Is it better?"
"Much better."
"You're too deep in my thinking."
"I didn't ask, did I? You-you think it's coming, I can what if it's that."
Erick just sent me a big smile emoticon.
"Well, ready?"
"Udah, don't talk and don't ask ok?!"
"OK fine. What do you say."
Thalia complies with Erick's request. And that night they did not talk about novels or writing. They just talk from heart to heart. Joking, seducing and flirting. Like a couple who would go far apart.
"I'm off starting at ten o'clock in the evening huh. We'll see you in three days."
Thalia was sad, without feeling her tears fall. If only he could be there. If only he could be part of Erick's real life.
"So, we'll see you in three days?"
"Yes. Hopefully it will improve soon."
"Promise?!"
"Promise?!" Thalia crying. That feeling is too painful.
They resumed the conversation until close to tenpm. Thalia repeatedly rolled her eyes at the wall clock. Seconds by second felt so fast. Thalia doesn't want to part with Erick. If he had the power to stop time, it would be like Thalia to freeze it and make their conversation last longer.
"It's time."
"Now?"
"Next year too."
"I love that, can I?"
"That's how I'm not necessarily there for you."
"Yeah you right, your health is primary." Thalia rubbed her tears continuously flowing nonstop.
"Can I hug you?" pinta Thalia
(may I hold you?)
A simple request that only Thalia could do online. Hugging Erick in his shadow. It feels bad but this is what they have to live with.
"Sure, come close to me." Erick replied.
(of course, come closer)
Something happened, they could feel each other. Thalia could even feel Erick's presence, she could feel Erick's tight embrace. He could also feel Erick's warm embrace. There's only one word to describe it. Miraculous.
"You crying?" ask Erick.
"It's not just the eyes." replied Thalia.
"Don't cry, I can't see the cry woman at least. It's just a minute, we can talk again after everything's done."
Thalia sobbed, her whole life could make her cry and lost only her ex-husband, Rendy.
"Here's the hug again." Erick sent me a message.
Thalia seems to move space to another dimension. Dimensions he did not understand at all. Erick's second hug was completely real, Erick even kissed his forehead affectionately. Thalia was swept away in the atmosphere. He looked into Erick's eyes in amazement,
She's here, with me .. inner Thalia
"Yes, I have to rest for tomorrow. Pray all right, we'll see you again three days from now." said Erick.
Thalia agrees, he sends a love emoticon to Erick and Erick returns the favor. That night was the saddest and happiest night for Thalia. Sad to have to separate. Happy because he can feel and see Erick even though he has to cross another dimension.
Even if I am only in your shadow, I will remain faithful waiting for you to return, Erick …,
