That same day, Mia decided to go to Pegasus for her first day of work. After what happened between her and Erik yesterday at his house which happened again at her house last night. It seems like she doesn't have the courage to show up to him again. Add to that the fact that there is a good chance that he is mad at her.Well, what he was asking from her is not simple. Yes, and she has feelings for him, because like she said, her love for the young man was never gone from her heart and remained there for a long time.And now that they've met again and something else has happened between the two of them, she knows where all of this is going.She said earlier that she didn't want Bernie to be angrier with her because she was sure that Erik would feel her former partner’s anger when he found out about them. And that's what she doesn't want to happen. She didn't want Erik to get involved with her problem."Are you okay already? Well, I'm happy and you're here again," it was Rosanna, the own
"WHY did you bring me here, Erik?" Mia couldn't look directly at Erik, but she still couldn't hide the objection that came with what she said.She was referring to the young man's house. She expected that he would take her to her house but something else happened. It's not because she doesn't want to be with the young man. The truth is, she is having a feeling of discomfort after he discovered her true occupation."What's the problem if I brought you here? I have no plans to harm you," answered the young man, unfastening his seatbelt."I know that," she said with a sigh as she unbuckled her seatbelt."Mia," the young man to her. "Look at me," he ordered in his usual kind tone and that's what she thinks is the reason why she seemed to voluntarily follow him."I'm sorry if you got involved in this mess," that's what she said instead.Erik's warm palm gently touched her left cheek. After that, he pulled and hugged her tightly."I know you're going through something, and maybe too you're
Mia was confused because Erik said that. But despite the confusion, the strange touch of emotion that she always felt when the young man said something nice about her still did not disappear."Thank you," she said focusing her eyes on the coffee in front of her to hide her true feelings that Erik could possibly read in her eyes.If only Erik knew that this was the man she was talking about, how would the young man feel and react?There was silence between them for a few moments. The young lady quickly felt a strange atmosphere that filled the whole area. And that's the reason why she didn't dare to meet the stares of the man in front of her.She can feel his gaze and that is one of the reasons why she is restless. She was even breathing heavily when Erik suddenly grabbed her hand and carefully squeezed it."Mia," said the young man.Erik just made a simple gesture after all. Even the way he mentions her name. But once again, she felt the strong electric voltage that quickly spread thr
“You mean you and Mia, already? I thought she was just washing your clothes and cleaning your house?" William asked him in disbelief the next afternoon and he went to see him in his office."No, not literally," he answered. “I offered her marriage, but she did not accept it. I asked her several times, but she still really doesn't want it, I don't even know what I can do to change her mind and convince her to marry me," he said in a long and low tone and then it was as if unknowingly stared into nothingness."What did you say? Please say that again, marriage? Why do you want to marry her?” William asked her one after the other in a shocked tone."Can you please, lower your voice," he scolded William."Sorry," he said as he straightened up in the chair in front of his desk. "What is really going on? You got me confused."That's when Erik sighed and stared at his best friend before he opened his mouth to speak."Do I need to tell you more about what happened for you to understand the tr
"It is not important to me Mia no matter what you want to believe, as long as I know you are mine and if you persist," he said in a threatening tone.Mia was quickly horrified by Bernie's words. "Get out and don't ever come back here!" that's what she answered instead.At that point, Mia bravely met Bernie's sharp gaze. Where she got the courage to do that, she didn't know. But if she was sure of anything, it was the fact that a part of her personality had been rebirth since she was with Erik.At the thought of the young man, the corners of her eyes quickly warmed up.If only she could admit to this man's face now who she really wants to be with. But she can't do that. She cannot harm the person who she knows is the sole owner of her heart before and until now."Leave, please?" now she said more calmly then pointed to the open door.That's when she saw the man move. But not to go out but to step closer to her. When he got close, he immediately grabbed her face tightly. Mia's chest hea
"Did you hear what I said?" Erik asked her then smiled sweetly as she continued to cry while looking up and staring at him.She just nodded."You're not going to say anything?" it was Erik staring at her face.That's when she bowed down and sniffed. "W-What do you want me to say?" she said, choking again.At that moment, Mia knew that she was crying for a different reason.She knew it wasn't what happened earlier, and all the hurtful words Bernie had said caused her to tears. But the two words escaped from the lips of the man she loved the most."Well, if you won’t say anything, I will. Because I have a lot to say," it was Erik.The tone of his voice was happy, and Mia also saw the beautiful sparkle in his eyes when she looked at the young man again."Y-You got a lot to say?" she asked confused but frowning.The young man nodded then raised the hand he was holding and then kissed it."You’re right. I have a lot to say," he said, starting to dry her teary face with his fingers.“W-What
“FOR me he is the most handsome man in my world. He can make my day complete with just one glance from him. And even though I feel like it seems that for him I do not exist, that was okay. The truth is, I never hope or dreamed to be his girlfriend,” Mia stated."Why? Didn't he court you?" Erik asked in a tone that was obviously interested in what she was going to answer."No, but he offered me to be his date at the prom during our fourth year. I was so happy back then. But unfortunately, he was too late to ask me that because he got ahead of him, you know," at that point the smile on her lips was meaningful.Now she really wants to believe that she is good at hiding her feelings. Because obviously, Erik had no idea that he was the man she was referring to in her story."Didn't I also ask you to be my date at the prom when we were in the fourth year? So that means Bernie and I weren't the only ones who really wanted to be with you that night. And that asshole was lucky because you went
"I'm happy for you. At least now that everything is clear, you won't have any trouble protecting her," William said the next day when he informed her about him and Mia.A small red box was in front of Erik and placed on top of his working table. It was open so he could freely stare into a beautiful and expensive diamond engagement ring that he bought earlier with William.It’s for Mia. For the most beautiful in his world. The one that he is going to marry.Erik shrugged his shoulders with a wide smile at what his friend said. Then he took the box. Closed and put it inside the pocket of his pants.Just now, he can already imagine how beautiful Mia's smile would be when he gave it to her. That was when he started to feel something intense and inexplicable in his heart.“But thanks, man. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to realize everything. If it wasn’t for you until now, I might still be in denial about what my true feelings are for Mia. You're right, I love her. I have always
