Love Petal Falls's
Love petals bloom 85

At the cafe near the mental hospital where Erika's mother was treated, Sara and Erika finally decided to enjoy a glass of juice while chatting there. But inversely proportional to what was intended, the two women even seemed clearly hostile to each other, they were busy with their respective affairs, one was busy with his cell phone and the other was busy churning his own drink.

In the end, Erika, who could not stand it, decided to break the atmosphere of silence created between them.

"Huft..that's enough! So what was your purpose in coming to the hospital, where my mother was being treated?"

"I.., actually just wanted to thank you, for testifying for me at the trial that time."

Why is he saying the same thing as Ryu? Is this the same woman as Ryu? That bitter smile was again etched on Erika's lips.

"Huh...! Though I said before, if you want to thank me, thank your son. No need to bother visiting me while bringing a bouquet of flowers to this place."

Sara only smiled slightly in response to Erika.

"Why are you smiling so strangely?" Erika asked who then sipped her drink.

"I just feel like you're a good person pretending to be a bad person."

Erika narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"I just feel, if you're the one who always displays a cold attitude and doesn't like me it's just a mask that you use to trick others, in order to maintain a reputation.

"Then?"

"But in fact, when my son begged you to be willing to help me, you finally wanted to help me. That's a sign that you're actually a human being with a lot of love, isn't it?" Sara Papar.

Erika laughed mockingly, "So you think so huh? Heh! You're Sara's naive woman."

"It is precisely you who always denial with all the facts in your life Erika."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes Erika!"

Even then I did not know, why I could finally melt the words of his sons Sara and Ryu.

Erika also remembered when Arvin came to her at that time. He remembered the incident when Arvin met him some time ago.

The flashback

Arvin, with his leg injured by the fall, forced to walk stumbling into the lobby of the luxury apartment, to meet Erika who is now in her apartment.

"Arvin wait!" It was Rony who helped drive Arvin to Erika's apartment. Unfortunately, Arvin did not heed the call of his cousin's brother. He continued walking towards the elevator door.

"I said wait for Arvin!" Rony pulled the arm of his cousin's sister, fortunately on time because Arvin had not stepped foot into the elevator cabin.

"Why did you stop you, brother? I want to help mommy, so please let go of my hand, Rony! Release!" Arvin continues to rebel as hard as he can, unfortunately that doesn't change anything. Rony is stronger than him.

"Arvin you calm down first" Rony asked his cousin to calm himself down first. The reason, Rony saw the blood that poured in his wound Arvin increasingly look severe. As his cousin's sister, he couldn't have allowed Arvin's wounds to go untreated any longer. Finally, with a P3K box borrowed from the apartment staff. Rony as much as possible bandaged Arvin's wounds.

"It's already!"

After being wrapped in his wounds by Rony, Arvin immediately returned to his main purpose of coming to the place, which was to meet Erika.

I have to hurry! Mommy could be in jail forever if I don't do something soon. Rony chases after Arvin, who is now in front of the elevator door waiting for the elevator to open to take him to meet Erika.

The elevator door finally opened, Arvin immediately stepped into the elevator cabin. Luckily Rony still managed to tail his cousin's sister in seconds the elevator door closed. Either it has been written or not. Because, when the elevator that was climbed by Arvin and Rony was stopped on the intended floor, the elevator door was opened. And they were both immediately greeted by the figure of Erika who was outside the elevator lobby.

"Rony? You and...." Erika was immediately aghast, as her eyes shifted focus on the adorable figure of Arvin sitting next to Rony.

Why is this boy seeing me again?

Not a word came out of Arvin's mouth. It was precisely Arvin whose leg was injured instead forced his sore leg, to kneel in front of Erika while pleading. "Aunt Erika, I'm not a good boy, I still like being naughty. But I'm begging you this time. Let me be a useful child to my mother."

"What do you mean, why are you like this, huh!" Erika who started to piqued.

Rony could not bear to see it, he immediately asked Arvin to rise, unfortunately Arvin did not move at all, instead just continued to kneel and plead with Erika, "I promise I will do anything for auntie, I promise, as long as Auntie wants to help mom at the trial. I beg of you Auntie.or if I need to, I'll bow down on you, as long as you help my mother." Arvin's sobs began to be heard when Erika did not give an answer to him.

"Here you go, son. You quickly stand up and get out of here. About your mama it's none of my business!" Put the woman to the poor little man. But Arvin certainly did not give up, he still knelt before Erika.

"Auntie! I know you're not a bad person, I'm sure, if you were in my position you would have done the same thing as me. Isn't it Bi?"

This lad?

Erika seemed to feel the tremors in her heart, to make her heart now shrouded in a sense of not having the heart to mix with worry. This strange feeling sucks! Said Erika.

The tremor was felt, when Rony who also suddenly asked him to testify at the trial Sara.

"You two?"

Why is Sara so loved by so many people, while I? I'm alone! But anyway, what this kid said was true, I would do anything for my mother if she was in her current position.

"All right. I'm ready!" Said Erika, who finally accepted their request.

"Thank you so much Aunt Erika." said Arvin, bowing his body.

*Flashback off

~~

And at that time I made a decision that I didn't know was good for me or not. And

for some reason, since then, I feel more receptive to the situation.

"Erika...?"

Erika looks dreamy, "Oh huh? What's up?"

"You daydreaming about something?"

"Oh no, I'm just thinking that all this time, I've been doing something for nothing in my life."

Sara who did not understand the meaning of Erika's words could only put on a confused face.

"You know? I felt like I was never grateful. Eight years ago, I got everything any woman could ever want. Interesting physique, a good career, and the love of such a wonderful man. But it's a shame I've been damaged by my own selfishness. I foolishly left that man, until I realized I always wanted to."

Sara now understood what Erika was saying with that silent expression.

"Then I was determined to ask the man back to me, I thought with what I had, it would all be easy, but it wasn't. That guy's getting and getting further away from me."

Sara could see the sadness and disappointment from the look in Erika's eyes as she revealed all these things.

"Therefore, I can only say, Congratulations to you! I'm not as perfect as you are Sara Chen, you're the winner."

Sara suddenly let out a long sigh, one-handed Erika with one hand, then looked at the woman before her.

"Erika, in this case there is no term win or lose. From the beginning I knew you, I was sure you weren't a bad woman."

"Why do you think so Sara?"

"Because you and I know exactly. Ryuzen is not a man who falls in love with women. So, if she's in love with someone, she's definitely the most special among millions of special women and you've been that special woman. Ryu would agree if I said, Ryu is the most extraordinary man the world has ever seen. Imagine how all women would be envious when they saw how Ryu treated his partner, right?"

I hate to admit it, but what Sara said was true. In the past I've felt loved by her, and I'm sure that's when all women want to be like me.

"You're right! Until I finally dumped him myself."

"Erika, nothing is too late while we still have hope of happiness."

"You're a smart ass! I don't like it, no matter how much I'm older than you," Erika chirped in a joking tone.

Maybe I should step up and leave all the burdens of my past with Ryuzen.

"So, what's your next plan, Erika?" Ask Sara suddenly.

Erika drinks back her drink.

"Okay, but clearly, in the near future. I'm going back to New York with my mom."

"Your mother?"

"Hem, my mother has started to improve, I want to dedicate my life to her after this. So you don't have to worry that I'm going to bother you again with Ryu."

Sara smiled, "Yes, well, I'm sure you'll find your happiness after this."

"Please don't try to cheer me up Sara, please!"

"All right..."

Sometimes we don't have to hate those who have hurt us. You could take a knife and strike back at your enemy. But what are you doing that for? As long as you can use a piece of bread to avenge his crimes with a tenderness.
