Wife Pretend

Dress For Erika

Dusk gray.

Erika is still waiting for Dave's arrival in her nursery. His gaze was blank looking at the twilight sky behind the wide glass window in his nursery. Mark was ready to go back to the office. Her mother is also having business with her new business friends. Erika was alone now and feeling lonely.

Dave where are you going? Aren't you worried about me in the least? Erika muttered in her heart.

Shortly thereafter, a beacon of footsteps began to enter the room where he was being treated. Instantly Erika turned her head, hoping it was the sound of her husband's Dave's footsteps.

But Erika's face immediately turned disappointed. It turns out that what came was Dance. Not that he was not happy with the arrival of Dance. Of course Erika was happy to be visited by her new friend. But this afternoon, I don't know why he missed Dave so much. Although Dave is a bitch. But Erika can't seem to hate him and stop missing him.

"Hey...Erika! How are you doing?" Excited Tari while smiling and approaching the bed where Erika was lying at the moment.

Erika smiled back. "As you can see!"

"It seems like your situation has improved! Thank goodness that is so!" Tari said as she grabbed Erika's hand trying to give support.

"Kok...You know I'm here?" Erika stared confusedly at Dance.

"Oh.that's, it was in Mark's office that told me."

"Oh...So it's like that, then Dave....." Erika did not continue her sentence, she hesitated.

"Sir Dave hasn't been in the office since this morning. I don't know where he's been all day!" It was clear that Dance seemed to know the direction of Erika's conversation.

Hemm...Where the hell is he going?

"Hmmm...So so yeah!" Erika answered with a sad face.

Dance smiled again to cheer her up. "Well, then surely Mr. Dave will come back to see you!"

Erika smiled after hearing Dance. Even though his heart was still doubtful.

"Dance!"

"Yes..."

"Do you know anything about Mr. Dave? Like a long time ago, did she ever have a boyfriend?" Asked Erika with curiosity. Erika knew nothing about Dave. Dave is hard to talk to. And Mark's. Also always avoid if asked about Dave's past.

"Oh...About that..." Dari felt a little hesitant to answer.

"Tell me if you're anything about Dave!" Erika said with a pleading gaze.

Dance feels so wrong. On one hand he felt bad for Erika. Because he did know a little about Mr. Dave with a woman in his past. But on the one hand he was afraid that Dave would fire him if he was caught telling this to Erika.

"Why don't you just ask Mr. Dave?" Dari tries to distract Erika so as not to urge her again for the story.

"How am I gonna ask him? We rarely talk. You know for yourself, his attitude is very cold! Huh!" Grunts Erika felt annoyed.

"I know very little about Mr. Dave's story with a woman in his past!" Dance seems to be talking wrong now. It was getting more curious about Erika.

"Oh...!" Dari looked regretful for having said it.

"Come Dance, tell me! plie!" Erika said as she made a pleading hand gesture.

"All right, I promise I won't tell that cold guy, hehehe!" Erika's good luck, and it made them both giggle. What did he say just now? It's cold! Erika felt amused at hearing her own sentence.

"It's like that's the story!" The dance seems to have finished telling a little about Dave and his former girlfriend Elsa who has died.

"Oh..so like that?" Erika nodded her head in understanding. "Thank you for telling me, so I don't have to guess why Dave's attitude is like this!"

"Just like Erika!" Smiling dance. "But you guys are weird. Not that you're husband and wife, but I see you two acting like strangers!" The real Tari chirps already suspected something was wrong with the marriage between Dave and Erika.

"So you see it like that huh?" Erika asked back.

"I'm not the only one who thinks so! But the rumors have also spread throughout the office. Some even say that you're just a pretend wife of Dave's sir."

"What?!" Erika's mouth suddenly gaped in surprise.

"Yes.so!"

"Hmmm..."

"Why Erika? If you don't want to explain something to me, that's okay. I'm not a person who likes to interfere in other people's business. Anyway I'm sure it's just cheap gossip. So forget it, and don't listen to them." Clearly Dance while stroking the back of Erika's hand. I mean back to giving him support.

"Thank you Dance for understanding, not that I don't want a story, it's just that I'm not ready!" Erika tried to smile forcefully. His heart was already very angry. The rumors are true as they are. In fact, she's just Dave's pretend wife.

******

Next morning.

The person Erika was waiting for finally came as well. Dave came to see Erika. And Dave had a chance to see the doctor who handled Erika. He said his wife could go home.

"How are you today? Is it better?" Sapa Dave tried to look friendly in front of Erika. This change in Dave's attitude instead made them both look awkward.

Erika tried to smile. "As you can see, I'm fine!" Erika said with the same kind of kindness. He heard the story about Dave and his ex-girlfriend yesterday. So now he's gonna try to understand Dave.

"Hmmm...Good then!" Dave nodded his head. "Today the doctor said you can go home. I'll get your stuff done, you get ready!" Dave continued while handing Erika a goody back that contained a change of clothes. Dave just bought a new dress for Erika. He promised himself. At least he wanted to be kind to Erika in order to make up for her mistake all along.

"What's this?" Erika still looked confused.

"Try on, I don't know your taste, I hope you like my choice!" Dave said with a shy smile.

Erika also smiled. He peeked into the goody back that is now in his hands. "Insured a lot. Whatever your choice, I'll love it. Thanks!" Erika once again with a cheerful face.

While Dave was busy tidying up Erika's stuff. Erika was already seen coming out of the bathroom wearing the clothes given by Dave earlier.

Erika came out shy. Dave looked at him in amazement. The light blue dres seemed to fit perfectly on Erika's body.

"You seem...It's pretty!" Dave tqmpak said sincerely.

"really?" Erika developed her sweet smile. Dave finally wants to be nice to her. I hope it's not out of pity. But because of Dave's feelings of love that began to grow in his heart. I hope that. Please Erika.

SERIATE.
