Your Officemate's

46. I'm Going Home

"If you're afraid tell me you're scared. If you are sad, you can cry. And if you want to be angry, throw it away." Johan crouched down in front of Erika.

Oho! Erika's defense collapsed instantly. Her tears dripped one after another without being prevented anymore. Erika no longer cares about the people around her, who may be watching them.

For half an hour, Erika just cried sobbing - all the emotions in her heart. Anyone who sees it will feel sad, as well as Johan.

Johan hugged Erika, his hands rubbing her back until the crying subsided.

"You're ugly when you cry." joked Johan when Erika had stopped crying, her hand thrusting a handkerchief.

"Thank you, sister" said Erika briefly.

His nose and eyes were still red, but his breathing was more regular. Although there was a little leftover - the rest of the whimper, his feelings now felt even more relieved.

Now they sat side by side looking at the calm lake in front of them.

TUKS!!

"Don't daydream, eat regularly, and live a good life. Not everything is what you think." Johan gently nudged Erika's forehead.

"I'm not thinking about anything." Erika stood up while patting her pants. He smiled as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the car.

Johan sighed, from earlier not one bit he managed to lure Erika out her heart. Despite crying bitterly in front of him, his sister remained silent about the problems he faced.

"alright. Let's have fun." take Johan.

Then they visited a famous place of worship in their city.

"Pray when you feel you are unable to do anything. Ask earnestly, really, He'll give his best." Johan advised Erika.

Johan then did is take Erika to swim in his house, and invite her to go eat at a restaurant that is also Erika's favorite. Johan deliberately did not work today just to accompany his sister.

Some day, Johan told Erika to get dressed. Erika, according to him, her clothes and equipment are ready at Johan's house. Of course, Johan arranged all of this. Again, Erika felt she had to thank Johan who kept her company throughout the day.

What happens if he is at home only now, it is certain that he will be more daydreaming while taking care of his online shop. Sometimes you don't have to tell a story or a solution. There is just someone who continues to accompany you and believes he will always be there for you, everything will feel better.

"Where are we going?" ask Erika.

"Ra.ha.si...aaaa" Johan again teases Erika.

Erika's hand that was ready to float, stopped in the air when she heard Johan say, "I'd rather you get angry like this, than to keep quiet."

"What?"

"If you can't tell me. Next time come to Merry. He loves you too." continued Johan as he continued to drive his car.

And apparently, they stopped at a mall.

"Today you have to ask me anything. Have fun - be happy. Got to!" johan orders him out of the car, and walks around to open the door for Erika.

"Come on." Johan reached out his hand to help Erika stand up.

Johan lets Erika do anything, as long as she feels comfortable. Although the complaint awaited still did not come out of Erika's mouth. At least, Johan knew Erika's feelings were better. Johan wanted to be a shoulder to lean on for Erika. Considering they're just the two of them right now, of course other than with Merry and Hans.

That afternoon, Johan spent his time accompanying Erika at the mall. Starting from stopping by the bookstore and buying Erika some of her favorite books, to eating ice cream while chatting lightly. Don't forget they're shopping for Abbey, Manda and Aaron.

After lunch, which again - again in Erika's favorite place, Johan invited Erika to watch one of the films that were being aired in theaters at that time. They watched one of the movies and went home.

"Trust your husband." as Johan's car stopped, and Erika prepared to get off.

Erika was stunned, "Sister Johan said so because she did not know how this last Brother Hans was doing."

"He's loyal. Trust me." continued Johan.

"I need proof not just words, sister." again Erika denied Johan in her heart.

Johan looked at Erika with affection. He knew Erika wouldn't open up anything about her domestic problems. In any case, Erika should know that Johan wants the best for Erika.

"He was tempted, but I still believed he was faithful." Johan tried to convince his sister.

"I guarantee it. I promise you. If he can't be trusted, I'll intervene myself. At least trust your brother, I can't get you."

Drrrr....

Hans' name appears on Erika's phone screen, Erika's heart beats faster. His heart was at war between not accepting and wondering where Hans went last night. What did Johan mean. His brother is not a man who likes to make promises.

"Just get the phone. Please help my stupid friend." Johan caught the doubt in Erika's eyes.

"So right, Brother Johan knows something. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Halllooo's....Mommy?"

Erika finally received the call, despite not saying a word.

Erika still did not answer.

"I'm home, Moms. I'm home." Hans' voice sounded a little hoarse.

Erika gave a code that she would get out of the car and into the house. Johan nodded his head, and left Erika.

"Where are you?" erika asked briefly because she did not see Hans' car anywhere.

Bluk! The sound of the car closed, as soon as Erika turned her head turned out Hans was in front of her. Before Erika reacted anything, Hans hugged her tightly.

"You're the winner, Mom. You're the winner." whispered Hans in Erika's ear.

There was regret, longing and sadness in Hans' tone of voice, or was this just Erika's feeling?

"What's up, brother?"

"I'm sorry. I chose you." Hans parsed his embrace.

It's true that Hans looks haggard, and the rest of the smell of cigarette smoke is still smelled from Hans's clothes.

"When did Hans smoke?"

Finally Erika told Hans to clean up first, there was still time to talk later.

Aided by ART, Erika prepares dinner for her husband and children. But Hans who awaited never came down to the dining room. Erika explains to her children to eat first, because it is possible that their Daddy is exhausted.

Hans was asleep in the room. It seems that he has taken a shower, his face looks cleaner and is already wearing house clothes. Slowly, Erika approached her husband. Then he looked at the face, with an indescribable feeling.

Uh! There was a subtle vibration sound, then followed by a light burning from the phone that was held by Hans's hand. There was a strong urge to take that phone.

"Hmmm.. a message from Lia"

Suddenly Erika's feelings were uncertain, let alone a picture of the heart

"Who else is this?"

I want it to feel like Erika tore the man in front of her. This is the umpteenth time Hans made him vacillate.

"Yes God! Whatever this is, my heart is ready to break as long as it ends well. Please do all the best for me, Brother Hans and my children. Best for my family." whispered Erika inwardly.
