"Do you want a drink?" erick's offer was quickly rejected by Erlan.
"I don't drink uncle, thank you."
"Looks like you're so scared if your girlfriend gets angry" teased Erick.
A smile expands followed by a free mind, remembering the beautiful face of the Beloved who always managed to make his heart timid from the beginning met until now. "That's one of my main reasons and my other reason because I don't want to die fast" he explained.
Smiling knots while tilting his body towards Erlan. "Try saying, you must have other interests so you want to meet me?"
Without dampening his smile, one hand held the sturdy shoulder of the middle-aged man who had helped him from the cruel world of the street a dozen years ago. "Truly I came because I missed you Uncle even though there was something else I wanted to say" he said.
"Ck! I guessed it. Hurry up and say," he said.
"I want to donate all bookstore branches in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Birmingham. And I asked for uncle's help," explained his goal.
"Are you sure? That means you're reducing your business expansion" Erick reminded, just once Erlan's been mispronounced.
"That's my goal, uncle. I think the central bookstore in Paris is enough to support me and my future little family, even if God gives me a chance. Part of my body is also often exhausted these few months if too often taken in and out of London-Paris," he explained with his hands invited to massage his shoulders as if a soreness suddenly struck.
"And of course I want to spend more time with the woman I love" she said.
"alright. Come to me again if you need help. After all, I've looked like my own son."
"Thank you Uncle."

"Honey.., it's night, take a break. Don't you have school hours tomorrow morning?" raffaela softly said after sitting her body on the living room sofa, next to Allesya who appeared to play her fingers on the screen of a mobile phone, sending a message to someone who was in the opposite country.
"Mom.., I'm so worried about her. Though only two days out of the Hospital but he was back on the loose," a worried hue was clearly visible on Allesya's face.
Mommy smiled warmly. Outstretched hand gently rubbed the head of the Princess Bungsu. He's not wandering around, honey. He was like that, hardworking, independent, and never willing to be silent. Mommy already knows him very well," he said to give understanding.
Allesya let out a breath of air. Justifying Raffaela's words about a figure who was almost a year used as a place to lean. The figure that always makes him comfortable and rise from the slump. "Well Mom, I'd better go to the room now."
Raffaela kissed Allesya's cheeks followed by a warm, loving smile and a good night's sleep. "Sweet dreams and sleep tight Seanie."
"Sweet dreams and sleep tight too Mom" Allesya replied.

The night is not too late. The sky also looks brighter because the full moon shimmers perfectly adorning the dark horizon. In the Thames region that looks shimmering due to the refractive reflection of city lights on the surface of pollution-free water, a pair of legs swinging down the river that divides the city of London.
Enjoy the atmosphere of spring night in the city where he was born before domiciling to Paris to complain about his fate. Circulating eyes suddenly stopped followed by a slump in the foot swing because it accidentally pushed a wallet that rolled on the earth.
Open the wallet after the outstretched hand picks it up from below. Find out who owns the goods. "Isn't he the one who hit the bar earlier?" after seeing the photo on the ID Card of the resident.
Back down the river to the area that is easy to reach the taxi, intend to return the wallet to the Empyrean through the address listed clearly on the thin plastic card.
But only a few steps were taken, both corners of his lips were pulled upwards together when the eyes caught the silhouette sitting pensively on a bench facing the river. Approach it with wide steps.
"Excuse me sir, this must be yours," he thrust the leather wallet, making the figure he called slightly gasp and wake up from his daydream.
A glance of the eyes glanced towards the hand outstretched in front of the face. He felt the pocket of his pants where he had kept his wallet before and it turned out to be uninhabited. "It looks like it's my wallet. Thank you," he said, reaching for something from Erlan's hand.
"No need to thank Mr. Sean," he replied kindly.
The lines between the base pair of eyebrows were faint when Erlan mentioned his name. "Where do you know my name? Have we met before?"
Returning to review the friendly smile, Erlan replied. "I'm sorry, because I was so disrespectful that I opened your wallet and found out your name from inside" he explained.
"Not a problem."
Sean shifted his body to the side in response as if his gray-clothed mood was too lazy to say much.
"Thank you," Erlan smiled amiably as she marched her body to occupy the empty side next to Sean until her attention shifted to her quivering pocket.
He took a flat object and immediately a smile after rising on the face of his face knowing the love of the heart that came back calling.
Throwing a smile at Sean as an expression of pardon before choosing to turn your body back to him. Without getting off the bench Erlan received the phone call. Not paying attention to the figure behind him who looks careless because his calmness is disturbed by Erlan's conversation that seems like a person who is being addicted to romance. Showing off the intimacy in front of Sean who is being hit by a longing for the love of the adoration Woman never come.
"It sucks!" grunts in the heart.
"Sorry," an unkind expression went to Sean after ending his conversation on the phone.
"Hm," the response just sounded like a hum.
The mood was silent again. Only the sound of the night animals was heard. Indeed, if considered carefully, the two faces of the two handsome men are very contrasting. Unlike Erlan's face that looks more radiant like the Pujangga who is kasmaran, Sean actually looks moping like Romeo does not welcome the love of Juliet.
"You.. Like a person who is not sane," already can not stand the Erlan who had just smiled after getting a phone call finally Sean expressed his regret. It doesn't matter that they don't know each other. The man next to her did not show any awkwardness at all, so she also had the right to behave similarly, so her inner self.
"Hey man.. Everyone will suddenly go crazy for love. You're like a person who's never felt the beauty of love alone" she joked, not intending to repay Sean's frustration with emotion.
Smiling bitterly, that was Sean's current reaction. Erlan's words successfully pinched his heart. He had also felt what love Allesya had given him in those days, although finally a sincere feeling came from the heart that had to be broken and gone because of his stupidity.
Regretted? Of course it still torments him to this day. But he made a promise to himself. To hold onto Allesya strong if one day find him. It will not break the winding of the hand so as not to come back loose, supporting it with all protection based on love.
"Beautiful woman but bar-bar, chatty but considerate, easy to frown but easily back smiling, soft-hearted, persistent, brave, loving and loving. And one more thing, he's a judo martial artist. God seems to love me so much for sending a woman like her to me" he said. Do not hesitate to express happiness in front of people who are first met.
Sean was stunned to hear Erlan's speech. "That's all in Allesya, too. Huh..! I could really go crazy for missing him so much, "his little heart whimpered.
"Such a woman is very rare on this earth, you have to defend her, or you will regret losing her," as if giving sacred advice, Sean's face suddenly became serious. Whether the demon waiting for the Thames river was possessing his body. It's probable.
Looking up to the horizon. Inviting the netra to pass one by one bright glowing celestial object, followed by a long sigh to blow something that disturbed the chamber of his heart. "Actually I feel unworthy to have it, because in fact until now I was too afraid to establish a relationship bound by commitment that will certainly lead to a denial so that the tears of sadness were spilled," his face changed.
"Why did you confide in me?" the strangeness.
Erlan chuckled, her will instantly evaporating. Feeling funny, he could tell his heart's concerns to people he does not know. His body began to move from sitting. "All right, I'll go now. Thank you for hearing my curses," he said sounding sincere until he finally chose to leave the place.
Sean was astonished when Erlan turned his body back and stepped closer while inserting a perfectly fluffy smile. "Will you help me?" ask Erlan.
"What?"
"Hm, I just remembered that the money I brought was gone, while my credit card forgot I didn't bring it."
"Continue?"
"Will you take me home to my inn?"
"That's right."
