THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

80. Small plan

Wildan ran around when he accidentally saw Abrine who had just entered through the lobby of their Apartment building. He knew Abrine and El occupied a unit in the same building as the apartment he had rented all along, but he could never find the floor and where exactly they lived.

"Hi, Brine."

Since Abrine knew Erika was giving him a pregnancy-preventing drug that time, also since Wildan tried to influence him related to the feelings of Elrich who still loves Pevita, he said, since then also the intuition in Abrine requires him to stay away from the figure of Wildan.

"Hi, Wil. Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Abrine wanted to move, but Wildan blocked his arm.

"Wait on! Can we talk for a minute."

"What else? If you intend to influence me again then it's of no use."

Wildan knew Abrine must have realized his intentions, Abrine was not a stupid girl. Abrine can tell if he's doing any doctrine to his feelings.

"No, this isn't about your marriage. I just want to talk if you have time. I want us to be like we used to be, Brine."

"As before?" Abrine scrunched his forehead.

"Yes, even if you're married to El's sister, can't we be best friends? Regarding Mama's mistake the other day, didn't I apologize? Don't look at me as Brother Elrich's half-brother, but look at me as the Wildan you knew before today. Wildan the old one."

Abrine smiled faintly. "I know you're a good man, Wil. For that, honor my relationship with Elrich by not approaching me anymore" Abrine broke up.

Wildan held tightness in his chest. She must have felt pain with Abrine's refusal. Even to be friends, Abrine was unwilling. Although in that case, he did have another intention of approaching Abrine slowly. Perhaps Abrine's heart and mind would turn towards him. In fact, he was not given the slightest chance.

"Can I go now?" ask Abrine. He wanted to enter the elevator, while Wildan's tall body blocked his steps there. If Abrine had gone home with El, maybe Wildan wouldn't have come to him.

Wildan nodded slowly. He shifted a few jengkal so that Abrine could pass through and into the iron booth that could deliver the woman to the floor of his destination.

Wildan watched Abrine in the elevator. As framed, the face was dancing in his brain. When his hand wanted to reach back, at the same time the elevator door was closed.

How sad his fate, even reality did not allow him to linger along with Abrine. The universe rejects that situation.

Wildan shook his head faintly. He glanced in the direction where the destination floor number was listed not far from his eyes. Well, at least, his meeting with Abrine today let him know where Abrine's floor is.

Penthouse, top floor.

Wildan did not expect, it turns out Elrich did put his wife in the best house in the building.

Although Wildan knows that their marriage is only temporary, but Wildan quite salute with the loyal brother. He thought, Elrich is heartless with giving Abrine a very decent home.

Little Wildan was calm about this.

"Good, you live in a safe place."

Wildan was only worried, related Claire who could not be underestimated just like that even though now the woman was behind bars.

Wildan turned away. However, on the other side Erika witnessed the incident just now. He also recorded where Abrine's floor was. Before Wildan realized that he was watching, Erika immediately covered from her hiding place.

By nightfall, Abrine had a guest. She thought it was Elrich, because all this time only her husband was going back and forth to the Apartment at this hour.

Apparently Abrine was mistaken, in fact, the one who came to his unit was Erika. Surprised him.

"Hallo, Abrine, how are you?"

Erika smiled kindly. But, Abrine could not hide his upset look at this woman.

And again, Abrine was confused as to why Erika could know where she was now.

"Can't mom come in? Is El inside?"

Abrine was silent. He couldn't say if Elrich hadn't returned from the hospital. But he also could not say that Elrich was in his apartment.

"What do you need?" asked Abrine who finally let out a sound. Even to call Erika by the name of 'mama' she also felt unable to.

"Mama's here to apologize to you, Brine. Can we talk for a second?"

Abrine blocked the path Erika was about to enter through her body. He would not allow Erika into his residence, moreover he did not know what intentions Erika had brought specifically for her.

"Trust, Brine. Mama's really feeling guilty."

I don't know, Abrine was confused as to how to respond to the woman before him. Erika's smile looked sincere. His conscience could not bear to reject the woman, if Erika was well-intentioned, should he throw her out?

"Brine?"

"If my mom can't come in, do we talk in the cafe downstairs?" erika smiled softly.

Abrine thinks that it's better for him to accept Erika into his house than for them to talk outside, which Abrine doesn't know is there any danger out there, right?

"Come in, ma..." Abrine shifts the body, giving Erika a way into his residence. Abrine actually felt this was wrong, but he was also wrong.

Erika stepped up and took a glimpse of Abrine's residence.

"Your houses are big and nice. Everything is also neatly arranged," praised Erika.

"What do you want to drink, ma?"

"Any origin is not troublesome ...."

"All right, wait a minute, Ma."

"Yes..."

Abrine made Erika a glass of orange juice and served her in front of the woman.

"Brine, once again mom's sorry about the drug."

Abrine didn't say. But, the look on his face clearly showed great disappointment.

"At that time Mama thought you didn't intend to conceive El's child" Erika said.

"Why does my mom think that?"

"Because mama heard your marriage is only temporary."

"Even if that's the case, I don't think it's mom's business. If indeed I intend to delay the pregnancy then I will buy the medicine myself," Abrine replied sounding cold.

"Then from that, my mom didn't mean it. Mama's sorry, Brine."

"So, what business did you have to come to Germany?"

"Wildan there are plans to open a restaurant here. typical Indonesian cuisine, so special mama come to see what menus will be made there." Of course Erika is lying.

"Oh really?" tanya Abrine was enthusiastic. Eventually Wildan and Erika had a positive goal in Germany. Good, so they won't interfere in his household affairs anymore, Abrine thought.

"Yes, later if it's inaugurated, you and El come there ya."

Abrine only gave a faint smile. Before long, Erika said goodbye to go home because she felt it was enough to mince words with Abrine. He just wanted to check the situation and conditions just today before a small plan was executed.

"Brine, mom's home. Thank you for accepting your mom here. Mama knows you're a good woman."

Abrine nodded faintly.

"If only you had married her to Erland, Brine," Erika murmured later.

Abrine heard that but it wasn't very clear. "Why, Ma?" tanyakanya.

"Oh, no. Mama just wants Erland to get a woman who's as good as you." This time, Eric did not lie.

"May you get better. Wildan's a good man, sure got a good one too, ma."

Erika just laughed softly then completely passed.

In the corridor, Erika had a chance to see Elrich who had just arrived. He immediately ran small towards the other hallway, so as not to cross paths with his stepson.

Elrich enters the house and finds Abrine washing Erika's glass.

"Have any guests come?" guess Elrich.

Abrine did not dare to say if he would allow Erika to visit. But, she was more afraid if her husband could read her lies.

"Ehm. earlier, Erika's mom came here, El."

At once, Elrich fell silent with a hardened jaw.
