Chapter 301
Indira sits in the cozy living room, inviting Alex and Erika to sit down with her. They both looked a little tense but remained polite. Meanwhile, in the living room there is still Vito with Alan, Alfa, and Arvy.
"So, Erika, what's your busyness these days? I haven't heard from you in a long time" asked Indira.
"Oh, I'm actually quite busy with work at Narendra Group. I work in the marketing department, and the tasks are quite demanding" Erika replied in a polite tone of language.
"Narendra Group? That's an interesting coincidence. I didn't know that you worked at our family company?" Indira is surprised to learn that Erika also works at her husband's company.
"Yes, Aunt. I worked there long enough. With Alex when entering the company," replied Indira.
Indira. "My husband never told me you worked there" he murmured.
"Ma, how could Papa know? He must have forgotten the old Erika," said Alex.
"Ah, right too. But, Erika should say dong with Mr. Vito if you used to be a child who often plays at home," said Indira.
Erika smiled widely. "How dare I speak directly with the company's supreme leader, Auntie," he said.
"Other times do not need to be ashamed, our relationship is already like a family" Pinta Indira.
"Yes, Aunt. Thank you." Thank you."
Erika's polite words made Erika unceasingly amazed by the young woman. "How does the story go you can work for our family company? Your father doesn't have his own company?" telisiknya.
Erika glanced at Alex. "Ah, that ... I chose to work there because I felt compelled to prove my worth. I want to achieve success with my own efforts" he said.
He hides the real reason that he is willing to work there just to be close to Alex. Erika loves it to Alex. However, his feelings were never reciprocated.
Indira smiles. "That's very impressive, Erika. I'm sure you'll make it." he praised.
"Thank you" said Erika.
He was always proud of women who wanted to be independent. It has proven itself that a woman's independence is very useful for dealing with unexpected and unwanted situations.
Indira once replaced her paralyzed husband as a breadwinner to survive in remote areas.
"And you are also very beautiful, very suitable with Alex," continued Indira.
"Mama ..." reproved Alex. "We're just friends. Don't confuse things like that!" timpale. He did not want to make Indira uncomfortable to be there.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, Alex. I just think that Erika is beautiful, kind, and attractive. But of course, it's your own decision" Indira said.
Erika tried to smile, despite the disappointment seen in her eyes. He wanted to explain their true relationship.
"Yes, Aunt. We are just close friends. We support and respect each other" he said.
Alex agreed. "We had a strong bond of friendship, but it wasn't a romantic relationship. Erika's a very good friend. Even in my worst condition, he's still next to me" he said.
Indira looked into the eyes of the two of them, trying to understand the situation better. He felt that there was something different between the look in the eye and their speech.
"All right, I get it. Sorry if I made the wrong conclusion. But, as a mother, I just want to see you both happy. Keep good relations" advised Indira.
"Thank you, Auntie. I also want to see Alex happy. Our friendship means a lot to me" Erika said with a forced smile.
"It's not just for you, Erika. Our friendship means something to me, too. Thank you for everything" Alex told Erika.
"Alright, I appreciate your honesty. However, if one day your feelings change, don't hesitate to admit it" Indira lures.
Alex and Erika looked at each other. They feel Indira's speech is impossible. They are more comfortable having the status of friends. Their relationship almost breaks down when Erika confesses her feelings. Even at that time Alex thought he had never heard Erika's words.
"Thank you, Ma. We'll always be honest with each other." Alex prefers to say yes to his mother's speech rather than a more protracted problem.
"Oh, yes, Ma. It's 10 p.m. I want to take Erika home first" Alex said.
Indira scrunched his forehead. "Why do you want to go home? Just stay here. There's a lot of rooms here" he said.
Erika smiled clumsyly. "Sorry, Aunt. It doesn't seem to be possible for tonight. I have important business tomorrow" he politely declined.
"Oh, so, huh? Yes, it's okay if you want to go home" said Indira with a clear expression. "But next time come here again, yeah! Don't hesitate to come" he asked.
Erika bothers. "I say goodbye, Auntie," he said, kissing Indira's back and putting on a hug.
"Be careful on the road" Indira said.
Alex invites Erika to walk out the side door. He did not want to pass through the living room for fear of being seen by his other brother.
"You have to be a better person huh, Lex," Erika told the man walking beside her.
He can't give you any help. He can only support it. He knew that Alex's brothers would not accept him.
"Oh, yes, Lex. You take me to the gate. I ordered a taxi" Erika said.
"Huh? How you are, anyway! I'll be able to drive you," Alex said in an annoyed tone.
"That's it, it's okay. Later you become bothered to go back and forth," said Erika.
After a long debate, Alex finally relented to let Erika go home in a taxi. The driver was waiting in front.
"I'm saying goodbye ...."
Erika had not yet finished her words, she had been shocked by the sight she had accidentally seen. Ares and Irene were hugging on the balcony. Alex looked in the same direction and was shocked.
"Lex, that's ... Irene, right?" tanyanya.
"Yes, that's Irene and Ares" Alex said.
"Kook ... Could it be, huh?" asked Erika astonished.
Alex shrugged both of his shoulders hinting that he didn't know.
"It's unlikely that an Irene likes it so much behind Brother Alan."
"That's it, you don't have to worry about anyone else" Alex suggested. He encourages Erika to get out the gate and into the taxi.
"See you, Lex," said Erika, looking through the window of the car.
"Be careful on the road. Have a good rest" Alex said.
Both of them waved hands.
