The Ancestral Inheritance Match

Chapter 81

The sudden kiss that Ardi did made Thalia go awry. He was more silent as Ardi drove him inside. Sean hasn't come home yet, which is why Thailand hasn't allowed Ardi to stay indoors for longer.

"Home home, late afternoon too. It will be tomorrow to pick her up again." gently push Thalia away.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, "Ok, I go home first. Are you home alone?"

Thalia was astonished by Ardi's question, and answered. "Mas Ardi, I'm old enough times to be able to take care of myself in my own house."

"Anytime you're afraid to be alone as long as Sean hasn't come home, or .. need my hand?" Ardi is back to flirting.

"Whaaat? Still not enough to steal the opportunity? Go home before I get emotional and call security here" Thalia said.

Ardi chuckled at Thalia getting annoyed and pushed her body to leave immediately.

"Hey you know, you're more beautiful when you're angry." 

"I can't hear you. Let's go." 

Ardi was still laughing, then right in front of the door he turned around making Thalia surprised. Ardi quickly hugged Thalia's waist and kissed her again.

Ardi's reflexes were unusually quick to make Thalia completely evasive.

Ply …

A slap floated right on Ardi's cheek. Thalia immediately moved away, she was really upset.

"Thalia .. sorry." Ardi lamented.

"Please, don't do this! I don't like it!"

Thalia leaves Ardi, who regrets her actions. Thalia no longer cared if Ardi was gone. Thalia was crying, she was scared. Afraid to get caught up in a love he's long forgotten.

Ardi's kiss made him remember the times warmth loved one. His memories that he had stored deep in the depths were again lifted to the surface. Thalia wants to be loved again but she is also too afraid to get hurt, again.

By night, Sean had not yet returned home. Sean's busyness lately increased with the opening of a new branch in another city. Thalia. Not forever he can count on Sean to always be by his side.

"Sepi, why try. Review video Sky already, read the submission of files from Winda done .. write again deh." 

The taste came back, "Erick, are you ok?" 

Thalia looked back at her phone, her intention to continue writing she paused. He sent another short message to Erick.

"Hi, how are you? Is everything all right?"

Thalia stared at the clock on the wall, eight o'clock that meant it was twelve hours past the major surgery that Erick was on. 

She must have gotten sober, if I could've hugged you Erick …,

He recalled his interaction with Erick. Every time Thalia had trouble writing Erick would help her. Advice on how to write well. Moreover, writing a fantasy genre is different from writing regular romance. He remembered the words of Erick.

"Writing a fantasy is a challenge should bring readers to follow your fantasy, so that detail needs to not float. Make the reader see for yourself what you are narrating."

Erick is like a maestro in the writing world. Each of his writings is so perfect and always brings his readers drifting in the story. He was able to make the characters in his novel come alive. Its light and dense language makes it easy to understand.

Thalia finds a new episode notification from Erick's novel. He had indeed told Thalia that he had made several stock episodes as long as he had to rest. It was incredible.

Thalia started to read it, a smile expanding on her lips. Erick included some of their talks in the dialogue. Thalia blushed. He even slipped Thalia's favorite song in it.

"Erick, what can I do with gini? You make me fall more and more in your arms, even if I live only in your shadow."

Her tears slowly trickled, Thalia playing the song in Erick's novel. A song from one of the famous band groups from the city of Jogja. About a dark lover named Sephia.
