Your Officemate's

57. Punishment From Erika

It seems that he was indeed intent on punishing me in silence. Erika wouldn't let me sleep next to her, even if she turned her back on me who was sleeping on the couch. He doesn't want to see my face.

I couldn't sleep last night. Not only because it was uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa that was shorter than my body, but also because my mind was recalling how Erika tried to get me back on the right path.

I regretted ignoring his warning. He reminded me not just once or twice, but many times. Starting from him asking subtly how close I was to Clara. And my explanation was responded to by the words "I believe in you."

Soon, Clara's increasingly disturbing behavior - so she made him express his concern for me. Worry that I'm falling into Clara's temptation. And I took his warnings for granted, I never liked Clara.

Then he was furious when he found out that his number was blocked by me. Honestly, I didn't do it. But denying it is the same as exposing my own lies. I told her I never met Clara.

Dan, jesus! Without me saying anything he immediately declared war on Clara. Now it's clear to me that she's bothered by Clara's behavior. More precisely he suspects me. I immediately tried to stop my relationship with Clara.

"Are you not ashamed that our relationship is known to many people? You'll be labeled a la*or." I tried to provoke his conscience.

"We can't please everyone, Hans. I don't care what people think of me."

"What do your parents say if they know you're related to someone's husband?" ask again.

"You mean Mama? How else, we are fools." he replied lightly.

"Huh!?" I was surprised to hear it.

"Why be surprised, Beb? We met at the same job and worked together. I like you and you like you too. That means we're fools."

Hhhh. I really cannot understand this one human mind. In all my memory, I never said I liked it. About soul mate? I think a soul mate is if we meet at the right time and the right person.

He also said that he did not care if one day Erika or someone else knew everything. And my efforts didn't work out. Clara's guilt makes me unable to be firm with her.

Mistakes if allowed to dissolve - dissolving will always have a bad impact. As a result, Erika said she would leave. I knew he was serious about what he said, his suitcase was ready in the corner of the room. How can I live without him? But no matter what I said, no matter how I pleaded, he didn't want to change his mind.

His lips did indeed comment on the smile, but it was clear that his heart was sore. Seeing her not crying or angry made my heart hurt even more.

For the first time in my life, I wanted to see him cry, at least by crying he could release a little pressure and burden inside him. I am worried about his mental health.

Or if he wants to hit me though, I sincerely accept it.

My chest feels tight.

"Mommy.." I kept calling him hopeful.

There is no lawfulness. Her cheerful figure and never stopped moving I could not find anywhere. Nothing in the kitchen or bathroom, let alone the May shop. There was only Kirana and a few other employees there.

I sharpened my ears to wait for the sound of his steps. The laundry room, let alone our room, was nowhere Erika.

Drrr....

Sayup - sayup I hear the sound of mobile phone vibrating. I slowly opened my eyes and saw myself lying in bed. The clock on the phone indicates noon.

Call from Johan. Soon I realized, Erika must be with him. There's a little relief, at least my wife's in a safe place. I'm actually embarrassed that Johan was aware of my household matters, but Johan is a safe place for Erika right now.

But something surprised me. Johan said that Clara was in front of my house and would soon be at her house to meet Erika.

***!! I forgot about Clara. He must have been looking for me, but he couldn't reach me at all. I've had all access shut down since Erika found evidence of my conversation with her. I also told ART that I don't want to accept guests today, whoever it is.

And now it's certain that Clara will be looking for Erika because of the difficulty in contacting me. I know for a fact Clara will accuse Erika of being the cause of all this. From the beginning, Clara hated Erika because Erika was always my priority, she envied my wife.

My chest rumbled considering how barbaric Clara was. I'll be heading to Johan's house soon. It turns out I was wrong, my wife was really great. He managed to silence Clara. Erika said with a stab at Clara, and me.

The unpleasant part was that Erika did not look at me for a moment. As if I didn't exist. To make matters worse, he casually said he would give me to Clara

Then he passed from there. And I know his anger is not over.
