Widow of the Choice of CEO Duda

Part 207: Now I'm Just Regretting It

Ten o'clock at night Indonesian time. Thirty minutes ago Jimmy just arrived at the apartment after finishing business with Rita.

He sat on the sofa waiting for news from Erin who had sent a message to contact him soon. A glass of hot coffee became a friend to wait for.

Shortly after, his phone rang. Jimmy immediately smiled broadly after confirming that the lover was calling, he immediately answered the video call.

What always starts when the call has been answered is both smiling and then just saying hello.

''Forgive me, brother. Today I was like being bullied, hufftt.'' Erin grumbled to complain to her lover.

Jimmy chuckles in anxiety.

''Yes, no papa. Great spirit of work, what do you do?'' ask Jimmy.

''Create a household capital, hahaha''

Erin who was in grumbling mode immediately laughed loudly because she was amused by her own words. Jimmy laughed at that laugh.

''Oh, yes, how is Rita's brother?'' erin asked to divert the conversation.

''He was ready for the operation and his schedule was the day after tomorrow, dear.'' Jimmy replied.

''Ohh, hope it goes well.''

''Aamiin.'' Jimmy replied.

Jimmy smiled as he looked at the screen of his phone. Erin immediately covered her face groggy with that look.

''I'm ashamed to know, Brother.'' Erin protested by peeping from between her fingers.

''No happy news.'' said Jimmy.

Erin immediately put away her hand.

''What happy news, brother?'' erin asked curiously.

''Guess what?''

''Oh, Kakaakk! don't make me sleepless tonight, '' Erin protested.

''Sister-in-law has given us the green light.''

''Huh?!''

''Brother-in-law?!''

''I mean Edgar???'' peeked Erin who was directly sitting upright.

Jimmy nodded.

Erin closed her mouth in disbelief. I want it to feel like he's prancing around to vent his joy.

''Eh, flutter ... how's the story?''

Jimmy also told about the letter of agreement given by Edgar to the lover who had been filled with curiosity with happy news and made a big question mark.

''Nothing is difficult, right?'' jimmy said at the end of the story.

Erin shook her head in wonder at the move made by the older brother.

''Brother Edgar really nothing is easy, hmm.'' Erin grumbled.

''I was afraid because Edgar didn't contact me at all. Mentari sister also just sent a message for health care, I was also afraid to call first.'' complained Erin.

''Seems like they just want to make a surprise for his dear sister.'' replied Jimmy.

Erin chuckled, indeed other than the other way the affection of the older brother for her. Likes to be upset and also high level of emotions.

''Sorry Brother, just to be together, Brother must follow the way that Brother Edgar did, Brother must also be patient in following my request.'' Erin said with guilt.

''It's okay, after all it's not difficult for Big Brother. And now Brother is more relieved after Mr. Edgar knows our relationship. Stay to the future in-laws, hehe''

Erin immediately smiled faintly, she was at a loss as to what to answer.

''Sister did not force as soon as possible kok.'' said Jimmy who saw the look of Erin's face seemed to change.

''After Edgar knew and gave his blessing. Furthermore, it is up to Brother when you want to ask permission to papi sama mami.'' Erin replied.

''Oh yeah? you seriously?'' asked Jimmy who did not believe Erin's words.

Erin nodded.

Erin's wide smile turned into a whistle. It was like hiding something.

''Honey, what's up?''

''You don't hide anything from Brother.' said Jimmy worriedly.

There Erin put her phone on the table, so her phone screen showed the ceiling of the room. While Erin was wiping away the tears that she had been holding back.

''Honey.''

''You cry huh?''

Erin immediately sucked her nose with a tissue until the sound of sruuutt. wkwkwkwk

After that, he grabbed his phone with a smiling face. ''I don't cry.'' said Erin.

''Don't lie, you know you're crying. What's up?'' search Jimmy.

''Do you not believe in it anymore, Brother?'' asked Jimmy with a serious look on his face.

Erin took a deep breath.

''Actually, this should not be told to anyone. But, I don't know. I hope Big Brother can keep my conversation from anyone, especially Brother Edgar, let alone brother Mentari.''

''Yes, my brother promised to keep it.'' replied Jimmy.

Erin smiled then looked up as if she wanted to hold back so that no tears would fall.

''The fire in the hospital has been three days. His heart has been troubled again for some time now, brother. This time it's worse than it ever was.'' Erin explained.

Mr. Erick has been diagnosed with a heart problem for years. However, since then it can be overcome because it undergoes routine control with drugs given by expert doctors. Edgar and Jimmy knew about it. However, it never had to be treated, only ever taken to the hospital in the morning, and in the afternoon can return home with a doctor who routinely controls.

Jimmy looked shocked to hear the news. Nothing is okay when dealing with people closest to us being sick. Jimmy understood Erin's current feelings.

''Then, how's Mr Erick's condition, dear? and who accompanied him in the hospital?''

''Mami who accompanied, if the night I followed.''

''The fire still could not escape from medical equipment. It has been installed a lot ..,''

Erin was no longer strong enough to continue her story from crying as she pleased.

After her crying was reduced enough, Erin again grabbed her phone. ''Sorry, Brother.'' said Erin who tried to smile.

''Sister who should be apologizing.'' said Jimmy.

Erin nodded.

''May Mr. Erick get well soon and return to his usual activities.'' said Jimmy.

''Aamiin.'' Erin replied.

''I actually stopped working today. For that reason because it is the last day, the seniors are like they are testing me.''

''You're patient, baby.'' Jimmy replied.

''But, it seems sudden?''

''Yes, my decision was sudden, brother. I feel to be the main cause of papi's pain.''

''No .. don't make such conclusions, dear.'' said Jimmy.

''How can I not blame myself, brother?''

''The fire kept forcing me to work in his office, but, I kept refusing because I chose to work elsewhere. I was so selfish, now I can only curse all my bod0han. Now I just regretted it for not wanting to recede.''

''I can't forgive myself if anything happens. Brother Edgar will definitely hate me.''

''Patience dear, be patient. Mr. Erick must be cured. He must be eager to recover because he still wants to marry his daughter.''

''I'm not sure he will recover. If you want to cry, cry, no papa. Want to vent anger to Brother, please. What matters is that you are relieved. Brother doesn't want you to face that alone.''

And sure enough, Erin immediately cried loudly. He did not care about his face that became ugly and uncontrolled.

Seeing the lover sad, making Jimmy's heart feel tight in his chest.

''Brother will hold you tight if this is right next to you, baby.'' said Jimmy.

Shortly after, after being relieved for crying. Erin straightened her hair.

''Thank you for accompanying me to tears, may Brother not ilfeel after seeing my ugly face.'' said Erin.

Jimmy chuckled small. While being sad, maybe this child is even joking.

''Brother is used to seeing the ugly face of Miss Erin.'' reply Jimmy sneered.

''KAKAAKKK!!!!'' exciting Erin.

''Hahaha, sorry dear, but, Brother still loves you.'' Jimmy said as he held back a laugh from getting a sharp look from Erin.

''Hmmmm.''

''Yes, brother, I want to rest before going to the hospital.'' said Erin.

''My dear, take care of your health. Brother can only help do'a from here to the prospective in-laws.''

''Thank you, Brother. I love you.'' said Erin immediately closed the call out of embarrassment.

''Hey ... How is he dead?'' muttered Jimmy staring at his phone screen.

Then he smiled. ''I love you so much.'' he murmured.

Life is not straight, there will be various types of tests and also reprimands that approach the journey of humans.

Jimmy took a deep breath, hoping that Mr. Erick would be granted a cure and receive his permission to propose to Erin, to become her guardian for her future marriage.

Jimmy immediately spent a glass of coffee that was hot now has become cold, as cold as Edgar's attitude on Mentari first.

(Ehh why brought his Edgar sir 🤔)

Jimmy got off the couch and put the dirty glass in the sink.

Time goes on, Jimmy must rest his body and mind because there is a lot he has to go through with time that requires hours of rest.
