I'M Not Perfect
yes or no

"Sister Aurel...." Lirih Audrey slow.

Eric looked at Audrey.

The beautiful woman rushed over to Audrey.

"Audrey! Thank goodness we met here." She hugged Audrey tightly.

"Sister really misses you. Ever since you went to college and decided to live alone, you've never been home. Don't you miss me, hmm..." Aurel stared fixedly at Audrey.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'm too busy with my studies." Answer Audrey flat.

Aurel poked her lips.

"Is it that busy until you don't have time to visit me and your nieces?"

Audrey smiling.

"I miss you too, Chen and Ling. How are they doing? They must have grown up."

"They're fine. So is your brother-in-law."

The deg!

Audrey's heart beats fast when she hears Aurel calling her husband.

Eric could see the change in Audrey's face. Then he clasped Audrey's hand tightly.

Aurel looked at Eric.

"Oh yeah, who is he? Is he your friend?"

"i, yeah. I'm a friend of Audrey's. And also the neighbors of the apartment. My name is Eric Phiravich." Eric held out his hand, and Aurel welcomed him.

"Ah, I'm Audrey's sister. My name is Aurel." Aurel said as she returned Eric's hand.

"It's nice to meet you." Eric said with a smile.

Aurel nodded.

"Audrey, are you not living in your old lease anymore?" Ask Aurel.

Audrey nodded.

"Look, you didn't even let me know of an important matter like this. What if we hadn't met here? I'll be confused looking for your home address."

"Don't you have a cell phone?"

Aurel.

"I wanted to surprise you at first."

Audrey grieving.

"Let's talk in your apartment. We're getting in my car. You're Eric too. Come with us."

Eric looked at Audrey for a moment, then finally nodded.

Afterwards Eric and Audrey return to their apartment in Aurel's car.

"Thank you for the ride, brother..." Eric said before he walked into the apartment.

"Come with us inside. I brought cake, we can eat it together."

"Next time, brother. You have not met for a long time. You guys must need some time to let go of each other." Eric.

After that, Eric went into the apartment.

"Audrey, let's go inside." Take Aurel.

Audrey nodded. Then they went into Audrey's apartment.

Audrey prepared a drink and served the cake that Aurel had brought to the table. Aurel was unceasingly staring at Audrey who was busy serving cake on the table.

Audrey sat down in front of Aurel.

"Drink brother, you must be thirsty."

Aurel smiled, then suddenly she rubbed Audrey's head gently.

"Thank God Audrey, you can live well even without me. You have a good friend like Eric. Now I won't worry about letting you stay apart from me anymore."

"Yes, my life is much better now. So you don't have to worry about me."

"Of course I'm worried about you. Either way you're my only sister. I want to go on vacation this time, you're coming with me."

Audrey is shocked to hear Aurel.

"Tap, but brother..."

Aurel shook his head quickly.

"This time I don't accept rejection. How many times have you refused to take a vacation at home since you went to college. Anyway, this time you have to come with me."

"Sorry brother. But I really can't."

"If you refuse to come with me, then that means you don't think of me as your brother anymore."

"Relse ... Please understand. I really can't."

"But why? Don't you think of us as your family anymore? Right now you're my only family, don't you want to go on vacation with your own family?"

Audrey fell silent.

He's confused.

He no longer knew how to refuse his brother's request. But for sure, Audrey will never be able to meet her sister-in-law again. Someone connected to his dark past.

Should he be reunited with that person again? The one who made Audrey go through quite a deep trauma. Audrey was just starting to escape her trauma.

"I'll think, brother." Audrey finally said.

"You should tell me your answer today. Because I should be home by afternoon."

Audrey nodded.

"Now you rest first. I'm gonna drop this cake for Eric."

"Audrey..." Call Aurel when Audrey is about to step outside.

"Is that Eric someone special to you?" Aurel asked suddenly.

Audrey was quite surprised by Aurel's question. But at last he nodded slowly.

"Does he make it hard for you to come with me?" Ask Aurel again.

"No brother. It has nothing to do with Eric."

Aurel nodded, and Audrey walked out of the apartment, into Eric's apartment.
