The Love In Cruise Ship

Last events in Ensenada

"What's wrong?"ask Joe in shock. Erika could only cry. Joe always bingubg if the despair of someone crying in front of him, let alone a woman. Then Joe gently brought Erika into his arms.

Actually Erika wanted to say thank you. But he can't talk. His voice choked and even tears came out.

"News to me?why is it like this?"

The word Joe even made Erika tears fall like the first rain in the rain season. Growing rapidly. Joe and his family in Ensenada.

The flash back

Port Ensenada last cruise, Erika out. The feeling is not good. Fear of something bad happening to her mother and sister. Ensenada's dark blue sky was inversely proportional to the overcast in Erika's heart.

Once out of the examination at the gangway, Erika ran as hard as she could. To the place where mom held her stern stall. Feeling Erika right. A man was shuffling Dolores' trading yard, while a young man of great stature was preventing her from further damage. The people around you are not helping, they are afraid. Especially the people around most old men and old women. Only a few helped Mauricio. Erika ran and confronted the man.

"Stop!" exclaim Erika.

The man did not stop and started beating Dolores again. Some men begin to prevent Lucio from hitting his wife again. Erika takes the wood used as a support table owned by her mother and she tries to hit her father. But it doesn't matter, it's almost about Mauricio. Lucio retaliated by throwing a place like tuparware at Erika and hitting her temple. Then the police came and Lucio somehow ran away.

The police did an inspection, the place was really messed up. Dolores nervously tries to clean up the mess of her lapel, she's bad at supermarket customers and supermarket clerks whose yard is falling apart as her stern stall crumbles. Erika tried to stop her mother.

"Had ma'am, we went to the doctor," Erika led her mother but was blocked by Mauricio.

"Let me take you to the doctor, you go, your ship will soon anchor" Mauricio said.

It was sad that Erika saw that. He then tried to give money to Mauricio for the cost to his mother's doctor.

"Save your money, I'm still there," Mauricio refused, he immediately drove Dolores to the domter with an angkot ride. (Angkot in ensenada shape like a micro car/tuyul bus. It costs 1$ if pay by dollar, if in peso it may be cheaper again. The crew and guests of the ship call it shutle)

In her tears and turmoil, Erika looks for people around her to clear Dolores' trading stall. He found Alberto and Bruno, men the same age as his mother who was a neighbor bwrale Dolores.

"Tio, please sort it out. Here's the pay for you, "while giving them dollars. (Tio means uncle)

Of course, they are both happy to do so, let alone pay with dollars. Erika made sure her mother's stall was properly cleaned before she returned to the ship.

"Why you?" security asked as Erika entered the gangway and did the luggage screening. It just so happened that he entered the gangway.

"So something fell in the supermarket" Erika explained.

"really? Didn't you fight?"

"Of course not, my energy is up to clean this ship. No more fighting left," replied Erika ninyir.

"You're just there. But there was, you know, the housekeeping people fighting to the police station. We're the security party until the hotel director comes out to take care of it." (security on the ship is usually not a bucket, let alone on other crews, only in this novel😅)

"Maybe he has extra energy" Erika timpal said as she took her shoes which had stopped running on the m3sin scanner.

"So I saw, he hit the old man with a grimace. But the old man replied by throwing a stone. Peculiar in the stomach. So exclaiming. I wish Joe died at the hands of the old man so as not to give us any more hard time. You know he wouldn't let his men take a glass from the bar. We have to pick it up ourselves and put it in the pantry. But of course my hope was not fulfilled, Joe won, hahaha..."

"Did you record it?"

"Of course, this is so exciting. I'm satisfied he got banana with the cops here." he showed his friend a cell phone recording. Walo was a bit far away, but Erika could see that Joe and his father were fighting.

They passed and Erika's heart trembled. JOE?!

\*\*\*

Martin offered Joe a cigarette. They're sitting in Martin's cabin. No smoking in any place, but this time they broke it.

"It's not usually like you're Joe" martin said, smoking his cigarette.

"I'm just pissed off" Joe took a sip of wine. Instead of receiving Martin's cigarette, Joe chose to drink wine to calm his mind.

He follows Erika out, accidentally seeing Erika's mother being beaten up. The stern is a mess. Then Erika was hit by something in her temple, she was sure erika was not aware of keluqr blood from there. When the old man ran away right in front of him, he immediately slammed and hit him. He was eventually taken to the police station. All the police used Spanish that he did not understand. There is only 1 who can speak English that is not smooth and with Latin dialect. But managed to find out that Joe crew was aboard. Police finally called the boat. Come Martin, with George and Nikita from housekeeping and 2 people security. With Martin Joe's bail released. But big banana (great anger) he will definitely get from george and Nikita.

"Do you want to go home?"

"No."

"If you're not at home I can arrange your return" Martin bargained.

"No, tehank you. I'll prove to Dad I can live without his money. After all, if you go home, other problems await?" after saying so he exited Martin's cabin to his cabin.

Flashback off

"I'm so sorry," Erika sobbed in Joe's arms. Mind raging. Between Joe's kindness secretly and dealing with the police because of him. Also worried about how his mother and brother are doing.

"There's no need to apologize for something that wasn't your fault. You're not wrong with me" Joe stroked Erika's back gently. He could smell the lavender from Erika's body. The money makes Joe feel comfortable.

"But because of me you're dealing with cops. And you definitely got banana from nowhere," Erika's tears dripped.

"I'm sorry," tears flowed more profusely.

"Its okay. I'm doing fine. Look at me still in this cabin. It keeps bullying you. I'm not satisfied bullying you. Don't expect me to be in jail. I'll make you sorry."

"I don't want to joke." Erika lowered her head. Joe raised the head of Erika d3ngan both hands down his m3natap.

"Its ok," Joe slowly brought Erika's face before him and kissed her.
