Kris stared at the street outside the cafe. His thoughts intertwined with each other imagining how he would live in the moment. His patience felt exhausted to maintain the household, but he was also difficult to decide to leave, if he thought his little daughter would lose the figure of a father. But it's not good enough to survive.
Unknowingly his tears were dripping, and he quickly wiped them away before anyone else noticed.
Suddenly a hand pulled his body, making him jerk, "let's treat your wounds" said Emma by looking at him.
Kris paused for a moment, "it's really okay Emma. I'm okay "he said. However, his eyes that came back watering like explaining that his words were nothing but lies.
Emma's not huffing. He carried Kris' body to the employees' rest room, "sitting there "he asked the mother of one child. Then he moved back to get the medicine box.
Kris grimaced as Emma's hand rubbed the ointment on the wound.
" I know this hurts Chris. But I'm sure your heart hurts even more than this" Emma said. His heart was also broken when he saw the beautiful face of his coworker had now been melted by a blow. Even though Kris did not tell the story, he knew who had done it to him.
Kris was down and sobs began to sound, "it seems like I'm not strong anymore Emma. I'm tired "he said softly.
" I can no longer afford to survive" he continued. His cry now sounded increasingly bitter with the roar of tears that did not stop flowing, although he quickly shook every time the crystal circle fell.
Emma couldn't help but cry, and in her arms Kris shook, "you deserve to be happy" she said, "and you deserve to be happy".
" Determine what is best for you. Everyone has no right to your life but you, Kris. And I'm the one who will always support your decision "he continued.
Chris was no longer speaking. However, his sobs had already shown how broken his heart was at this moment. How difficult it is at the moment.
" Look, you just have to decide, Chris. Hang on with your wounds or you go and find your happiness. At least if you yourself your heart won't hurt this much ".
" Then how's my daughter Emma ? "
" Take him with you "
" It's not that. I'm just afraid he's lost his father figure ".
" I think he'd rather lose his father than see you continue to be hurt by Kris ".
In the midst of her cries Kris sighed so deeply, "Didn't I also deserve to be happy Emma ? "
" yes. Sure Kris. Even God hates a man who hurts himself, when he has the choice to be happy "
" Determine what's best for you, Chris. My heart is really broken seeing your situation like this "he said full of emotion.
Kris wiped her tears, "thank you for caring about me Emma. Other than my little daughter, you're the only one who cares about me "he said weakly.
" I will always be there for you Kris" said Emma earnestly, even repeatedly he sighed by the tight chest of seeing the condition of his co-worker, "you will definitely be happy. I believe it's "he added.
Now Emma's body has moved, and she extends her hand to Kris" Come on. Looks like your prince will be coming soon" said Emma.
Hearing that Kris's lip line curved up, "people, would actually accuse me of cheating because of your Emma's words ".
" As long as it's not proven, then let the gossip flow "the woman said so casually, "let's "get it again.
" get out first Emma. I want to wash my face first "
" all right. Don't forget to put on your lip-splitting "said Emma teased him with a laugh. While Kris snorted in annoyance while walking towards the bathroom inside the break room.

Lunch time is over. And at that moment Kris realized that there was something strange inside her.
He felt like he was missing something and his brain was like looking for a reason, why someone did not come today.
Without realizing it, his eyes continued to look at the door and it was not separated from Emma's eyes.
" Something like you're waiting for someone ? " he was flirting with the woman.
" You're not good at saying Kris "excited Emma laughed, "but I'm also wondering why he didn't come today ? " come by looking at the door.
" Is that why he gave you so much money yesterday ? "
" Where do I know Emma "
" Yes, maybe so. Maybe some days he won't come so he gave a lot of money yesterday ".
" A few days ? " remove Kris.
" Maybe. Wait did you miss her, huh "attack Emma laughed, "you're crazy. What are you saying "said Kris brushed off his friend's words.
" It's okay, too, Chris. Instead I've seen you pretty excited lately and I'm sure it's because of Mr. Laem "
" Emma stop. I really would have thought of having an affair because of what you said ".
" Kris come on. That's not true and stop thinking about other people. Thinking of others won't make you happy, right ?. As long as you don't hurt anyone, you have the right to choose your way of life ".
" If you don't want to be thought to be cheating. Then just finish that unhappy relationship. Maybe I sound so mean, but really, I just want to see you happy Kris ".
Kris did not justify or deny the words of his friend, he just smiled blandly, along with the brain that continues to think about what he should decide at this time.
" Good God, wait "shouts Emma arrived. Making Kris who was busy chatting with her mind becomes jolted, "you surprise me Emma "he exclaimed with a racing heart.
" You should look at this "pinta Emma while pointing at the picture inside a newspaper.
" Are you also seeing the same person "he said in disbelief.
Kris was still speechless with eyes staring at the picture before him, "that's Kris. Laem Brookstein "said Emma, his eyes widened when he found Laem's full name written on the cover of the newspaper, "it turns out he was one of the Brookstein brothers. God, I can't believe this. How can one of the princes of this country come to our humble restaurant. It's like impossible Kris "excited Emma who continues to be unexpected with something new she knows.
Kris became increasingly silent, although he did not know in detail what the Brookstein family was like. However, this one country knows that they are the respectable family of this country.the family with the largest share owners within their country.
While Laem was born as the second son in the distinguished family and became the first boy who had to continue the family business.
While his first brother, Lenan Brookstein has decided to step down from his place as the first heir as the successor of the company. He chose to be a surgeon at one of the famous hospitals in London that he founded, and of course the building can stand through the intervention of his family.
While the Brookstein family's third son, Laezi Brookstein chose to be an actor with an excellent image. Although behind the camera he is famous as a London womanizer.
The Brookstein brothers were the three princes who were judged by the women of London. However, little is known about the Brookstein family's second son, Leam Brookstein.
He is a hard working and closed man. He never even had time to attend a charity event held every half year by his extended family. It is very rare for his face to appear in newspapers. Only occasionally if he had just managed to cooperate with the world's great inventors.
As of now, his face was plastered in the newspaper in front of Kris, as he was in the front row to cut the ribbon of the inauguration of a large reservoir built by his hard work.
" Laem Brookstein "remake Emma.
" It's crazy. This is really crazy, Chris. Gosh even my heart didn't stop beating " continued Emma who continued to disbelieve.
" You're a very lucky man Kris" he said again.
Kris' forehead wrinkled, "what makes me lucky Emma "he asked did not understand.
" Are you stupid. Leam Brookstein likes you Kriss. I can bet on that "
" Don't be crazy, that's impossible. He just pitied me instead of liking Emma "
" You know what?, I saw clearly how he kept staring at you Kris ".
Kris took a breath, "Stop fantasizing about Emma" she said, "if she likes it. She only knew me as a single woman, not as a woman who had one child ".
" Even I am sure, after knowing everything he will be very sorry to have known me "he continued with a laugh.
