Chapter 04

Era Pov:

Late afternoon of the next day:

I'm sitting in a cafe wearing an amber-colored floral dress.

Alain gave me the address of this cafe. I've been sitting here for a while. It's been two years since we last met. I don't know if Alain is still look same or not.

After five minutes, a white car stopped in front of the cafe. The door opened, and someone.. hugged me.

Era: Alain?

Alain: I missed you so much Era..I so so..

Era: I missed you too..

Alain: I know babe (making me sit) Sit here and what did you order?

Era: Nothing. I'm new here.. I don't know what to order..

Alain: Oh yeah, right, let's order an iced coffee. Then we'll go to a restaurant and I'll feed you a famous dish here. You'll want to eat it again and again once you try it.

Era: You still act like a kid ~ I said while laughing..

Alain: Yeah and this kid always wants affection from you~ he winks.

I don't know how I felt about that, but I just laughed without thinking too much. I took the coffee mug and took a sip.

Alain: So why are you here? Just to see me?

Era: You know how serious Dad is about business. I came here because of that business. But now he's saying to take admission here.

Alain: Good idea. Take admission to my university. We can spend a lot of time together.

Era: Let's see.

Alain: You always say that. But one thing is proven, you didn't come here for me.

Hearing his words, I laughed and said..

Era: Do I have to convince you like a kid now? Look, whatever the reason is for coming here, I missed you a lot.

Alain: You can't convince me like a kid. Anyway, where are you staying here?

Era: At my brother's place. I told you my brother lives here.

Alain: Oh yeah.. Want to Introduce me to your brother? Does your brother have a girlfriend?

I was a little silent at this question. Because I don't know anything about it. I haven't talked to him since that day.

Era: Maybe he does.. I told you there was a problem between us and since then we don't talk.

Alain: What problem?

To avoid the question, I said...

Era: Why did you come here? You haven't told me that yet.

Alain: I always wanted to study here so I came.

Era: With whole family?

Alain: Yeah, that's it ~ he said a little nervously.

Era: Sure?

Alain: Ofc.. But introduce me to your brother, I'll solve all the problems.

Era: Hmm.

We talked in the cafe for a long time. Then as he said, we went to a restaurant. We had a lot of fun together. We took a lot of pictures together, ate. We were both very tired and sat in the park. Two couples were enjoying their time a little away from us.

Era: I had a lot of fun. I will never forget today, truly. Thanks Alain.

Alain: Me too. Okay Era, if I ask you something today, will you give it to me?

Era: What?

Alain: Era I want to kiss you and make a memorable moment in our life.

I felt a little strange about it. I tried to avoid it but Alain didn't let me avoid it.

Alain: Please Era. We've been in a relationship for five years. And I haven't kissed you. Please Era just one kiss

I don't know what to say. He is my boyfriend after all. Nothing much will happen if I kiss him once, right?

Era: Ok

Alain was very happy. He comes closer to me with a smile on his face. He holds my cheeks with both hands and brings his face closer to mine. We both closed our eyes. But just as we were about to kiss, a face suddenly appeared in front of me and I pushed Alain away unknowingly.

Alain: What happened Era? Are you ok? Why did you push me like this?

Era: I am ok

Alain: Then why are you so nervous?

How can I tell him that I saw Yiran? How can I tell him what to say?

Alain: Era?

Era: Huh? I am ok Alain. I need to go home now.

Alain: Ok. You can go. But Era please remember I love you..

Era: Hmm.

I didn't say anything else and left. I came to the room and locked the door. I'm crying so much. This is not right. This is not right at all. This is wrong. Yiran is my own brother. I can't think like this about my brother. This is not right. I'm crying so much. I took sleeping pills and went to sleep without thinking anything else.

Unknown POV:

: Monsieur, ça va ? (Sir are you ok?)

: Je ne sais pas (Idk)

: Monsieur, vous avez l'air tendu. Que s'est-il passé ? (Sir you look tensed. What happened)

: Foins, tu sais que tu es mon employé de confiance. Je te fais confiance et je n'aime pas quand la personne en qui j'ai le plus confiance essaie de me trahir ( Foins, you know you are my trusted employee. I trust you and I don't like when my most trusted person try to betray me.)

Foins: Je sais, Monsieur (Ik sir)

: Bien (Good)

Foins: Si ça ne te dérange pas, puis-je te demander quelque chose ? J'ai toujours voulu poser cette question mais je n'ai jamais eu assez de courage (If you don't mind, can I ask you something? I always wanted to ask this question but never got enough courage)

: Ouais (Yeah)

Foins: Est-ce que tu aimes quelqu'un ? (Do you love someone)

: C'est une question personnelle, tu sais, n'est-ce pas ? ( It's a personal question)
