A few moments after Kei's departure, suddenly a car back parked in the yard of Dave's house. A car that is no stranger. That's Mark's car. Erika could recognize him immediately. Car ports black color. The girl was still standing there. A short time later a man with a stiff face came out of the car.
Mark walked closer towards Erika who was as if waiting for her where he stood.
"Hi E!" His words were flat as he stood right in front of Erika. His face looks a little misbehaved even though he tries to cover it with his pretentious style. Body language cannot be deceiving.
"Hi Mark!" Erika smiled. But the forced smile. He still felt a little sad and guilty because of Kei's departure earlier.
"Emm..." Mark looked nervous. His tongue is like a tongue to speak.
"Yes.i know!" Sela Erika fast. He didn't want Mark to have much trouble explaining.
Mark's eyes immediately looked in surprise at Erika. As if he were saying. You know what? Mark's heart was almost dislodged if Erika really knew the contents of his heart. He's really not ready.
"I know for a fact you came in to tell Dave, right? To accompany me for a walk? Aren't we?" Connect Erika who instantly makes Mark instantly can breathe a sigh of relief. That's what Erika thought. Not what he was thinking. Mark's heart was relieved.
"Yes..You're right E.." Mark replied a little awkwardly. He really felt incredibly nervous every time he had to face the girl in his tribe.
"Well, Mark, you come in and wait for me in the living room, I'll change first, and then we'll go outside." Erika exclaimed with a slightly lethargic voice. His mood was really bad this morning.
"Hmmm..Alright." Mark said briefly.

Short story. Mark and Erika are in a shopping mall in J. They were walking around while looking around, Erika seemed happy to see the funny items she met in the shops lined in the mall.
Her smile seemed to expand when she tried on a pair of glasses that she found funny. He faced the mirror, and the girl pulled Mark to follow the action. Then with a cheerful laugh Erika took her phone from her outer pocket and started taking pictures of Mark with her phone. Mark could only obey, seeing Erika who was so cheerful, Mark could not bear to disappoint the girl. It seems Mark's love for Erika has deepened. Until he was willing to do anything to see a cheerful smile on Erika's face. The smile that always made her miss the meeting.
"That's funny!" Erika said while looking at the results of her shots on her cellphone camera. They are now walking to find a restaurant for lunch.
Mark was walking beside Erika. Can only smile while looking at Erika who is smiling cheerfully.
Erika did not pay attention to the road because she was busy looking at the photos in her backpack. Suddenly someone with his shopping trolley almost hit Erika's body. But fortunately Mark was quick to respond. He pulls Erika's body into his arms to avoid the trolley.
For a moment Erika was shocked. Mark is hugging her now. "Are you okay!" Mark exclaimed when he found Erika had not escaped from his embrace.
Nervously Erika then immediately withdrew from Mark's embrace. "I'm fine, Mark, thank you, thank you, thank goodness you, I don't know what happened if you weren't there." Erika said as she turned her gaze in all directions. He seemed a little misbehaved. Mark looked at her carefully. I don't think he wants to let go of that girl forever.
Mark had just wanted to grab Erika's hand, intending to hold her, but she had already walked away first. Erika who was feeling a little nervous wanted to immediately dodge before Mark. There was a little awkwardness between the two.
Finally, Mark ran small to be able to match Erika's steps. "Sorry that surprised you!" Mark said when he was right on Erika's side.
"It's okay, Mark, why do you have to apologize, I should be thanking you, because you just saved my life." Erika replied in the normal tone possible. Slowly the awkwardness that had occurred between them disappeared. They could chat normally again now.
"Oya Mark how if we find food outside, such as eating on the side of the road so, would not we?" Suddenly Erika came up with an idea.
"Emm why?" Mark hesitated a little.
"Emmm..It's okay, I just get tired of eating at fancy restaurants all the time, wanting to taste the food on the side of the road. You want to come with me?" Erika answered with sparkling eyes. Makes Mark can not refuse the invitation of the sweet girl.
"Alright come!" Mark finally said.
"Yep..!!" Erika was happy.

In the office, it appears that Dave is looking through work on his laptop screen. Sometimes he glanced at his watch. Then check his phone immediately. He pulled his phone like he was looking for something. But he did not find what he was looking for in the notification of his phone. More precisely, there was no message from Erika that he met now. Dave's face suddenly fidgeted. Usually, the girl always pre-new him with a lot of messages even though Dave sometimes did not reply to the message.
"Are you getting comfortable with Mark now? To the point that you forgot to call me?" Dave nodded to himself.
Where did that stupid girl go.
Unknowingly Dave had already started to worry about Erika's state and was beginning to expect the girl's presence by her side. But again he was all his might trying to deny his heart.
"He's with Mark, he's gonna be fine now, Yach." He murmured again while standing up from his seat.
"Ah but no, why do I feel that I'm starting to merin du nya.." Mumbled Dave hesitated.
"Ah.no.no, this should not happen. I don't want to have this feeling anymore." Dave ruffled his own hair as if feeling frustrated with his own feelings.
Then his gaze was shifted to someone who immediately wanted to enter his room. It was visible from the door of his study room made of glass.
In a hurry he sat back behind his desk and put on an elegant style. He looked at the laptop.
Apparently the one who was just about to enter his room was his secretary.
"Sorry sir, interrupt, this is the file you asked for." Said the secretary when he was right in front of Dave's desk. At first glance he glanced at Dave's messy-looking hair.
"All right put it there!" Dave exclaimed flatly without taking his eyes off his laptop screen.
The secretary smiled faintly at Dave's appearance. Usually the boss is very neat and cool. But this time his appearance was a little messy. And he felt that something must be wrong. "Good sir!" The secretary replied at last while continuing to hold back his laughter.
"Hey.You're why? Why smile so while looking at me like that? Rebuke Dave finally when he realized there was a suspicious behavior from the secretary.
"There's nothing sir, I'm sorry! Excuse me!" Exclaimed the secretary while wanting to rush past from before Dave because he did not want to get into trouble. Especially now that Dave has a problem.
"Emm..wait for Dance!" Dave tried to stop his secretary.
Dance was shocked, her heart was almost gone.
Death to me, why did I secretly laugh at his messy appearance.
Taripun hesitantly turned his body back to be able to look at his Boss again, Dave. "Yes sir what's wrong?"
SERIATE...
