The Long Distance Relationship: Worth Every Mile
Chapter 21: Flying to Her
It has been five months since Sarah visited Hugo, now she must return to the busy world of lectures. Back Sarah and Hugo often argue because of the busy lecture schedule, especially the schedule of lectures and Sarah's activities.
“I don't want to break up with him because of this situation. My campus curse to the couples because we are so busy,” grumbled Sarah in heart.
Sarah walked towards the exit gate to return to her boarding house located very close to the campus. How shocked Sarah was, because there was Eric in a car. He was seen looking at the gate waiting for someone to come out with the window wide open.
Many pairs of eyes that observe this one bule. Understandably inside the campus area I am not allowed to smoke, except yes outside the campus fence, made a small garden and there is a blue tent, blue, right in front of one of the most commonly passed entrance gates especially students who walk like me. There are also some brothers who sell coffee drinks and some other small snacks. Especially the boys who smoke, well there are some girls too but not much.
They looked at Eric wondering why there was a bule that had been waiting for someone.
Eric was still in tears until he finally saw Sarah standing by the gate and looked at him in shock. Eric got out of the car, smiled and walked over to Sarah. Make a scene of people around the campus gate and smoking area there.
“What the heck” Inner Sarah.
“Come with me...” said Eric while holding Sarah's hand into the car.
Eric immediately planted the gas and immediately took Sarah away from the campus area.
“Hey...” greet Eric with a big smile.
“What the f was that ?!” said Sarah who had been silent because she was still shocked and shocked.
“ I told you already.. I like you.. I just wanted to be sure about my feelings and your feelings to me. at least there will be something.” Eric said with a serious face mimic.
Sarah who is still in shock just grunts quietly not answering anything and looks towards the window looking at the road, soon this car will lead to the highway.
“ Where are we going?!”
“ Calm down.. we will just go to Jakarta” Eric said slowly while continuing to look straight.
“Oh.. also we will stay in Jakarta tonnage. So I really bought some clothes for you and we can go to mall later so we can buy some underwear for you. Hahaha” added Eric while laughing.
“Hell no! Take me back to BSD. What’s going on?!”
“I tod you... I like you and I just wanted to be sure about it.”
“ You know I have a boyfriend!” exclaim Sarah's anxious.
“Exactly just boyfriend.... He is always blaming you when you are busy and I’m the one who is always there to listen to you and care for you.”
“Hugo does care!” exclaim Sarah.
Although Sarah also realized lately they are often noisy. Hugo's attitude changed. He's not like the usual Hugo, he's been more indifferent lately and busy.
“Hey... you there..” asked Eric.
“Yeah.. I already called Hugo for this. And of course he is mad. But he said you won’t fall for me.” said Eric quietly.
Sarah just grunted softly and just looked at the road.
“One more thing I should take your phone away. I wanted these just about us..” said Eric as he looked deeply at Sarah.
“ You are crazy! We both know we just friends”
“ But I have strong feelings that we both are more than that! Also I have some prove why Hugo started ignoring you. He doesn’t want to tell you the truth!”
“About what?! He is always telling me the truth!”
“ You will see.... I wanted him to tell you by himself.”
Is this about Clara? Lately I've always seen him post some photos on his instagram, some with Hugo. Hugo also did not look as awkward as before or look to smash Clara.
“ Soon is your anniversary with him right? Next month?”
“Yeah...” says Sarah slowly.
\\*\\*\\*
But he was shocked when he was in a taxi in front of Hugo's house. Eric sees Clara, the woman Sarah talks about, a friend of Hugo's group who is infatuated with him. He sees Hugo holding Clara and they kiss in front of Hugo's house, before Hugo walks into his house and Clara walks in the opposite direction.
Eric got off the taxi and paid the fare. He pulled Hugo's collar.
“What the hell was that dude?!” eric shouted furiously.
“It was nothing!” hugo did not want to lose.
“ If she knows this you are so dead! You better tell her the truth if these relationships isn't’t working! You are such an a***! eric shouted and then he hit Hugo hard in the face.
Eric was gone at that moment, very angry. His best friend will be hurt, not his best friend Sarah is now the woman he loves.
She better desire!
\\*\\*\\*
Arriving in Jakarta, Eric drives his car to a luxury hotel in the city center. Then, stop the car right in front of the lobby door.
“Here is your key..” says Eric.
“Thanks...” said Sarah then got out of the car and walked towards the lobby.
Eric is half after Sarah, he knows that this girl is still upset with him.
“Wait for me.. you walk too fast miss” said Eric.
Sarah didn't notice it. Eric just chanted quietly to the hotel clerk to drop off the items he bought for Sarah and bring them to his room.
Eric had been staying at this hotel since yesterday afternoon and had also taken a walk to the old town. Dutch building accents still look magnificent there.
“My room is next to your room..”
“Give me back my phone!” said Sarah...
“I can’t..” says Eric.
“ Jezzzz! Eric!”
Sarah steps into the elevator, and so does Eric. Arriving at the fifteenth floor they stepped out and walked towards their room which was definitely one hallway.
Sarah went straight into the room, the things Hugo bought were already in his room.
“What the heck just happen today!” his inner.
Sarah then goes to the phone in her room and calls Hugo's cell phone, she knows international calls will be expensive but f***it! Let Eric pay!
A few minutes later the phone was picked up.
“Hello? Who is this?” said Hugo.
“Babe... It’s me..”.
“Sarah?” hugo said somewhat in shock.
But Sarah also faintly heard a female voice talking to Hugo, just like Clara's.
“Are you okay?! I will book a flight the day after tomorrow to see you okay. I wish I can do it tommorow but I can’t leave my job here. Please be careful with Eric. And I’m sorry I’m at work so gota go” said Hugo in a hurry and immediately turned off his phone.
For almost two years of dating Hugo never acted like this to her.
It's weird!!! murmured Sarah slowly.
Sarah did not want to take a headache, she then went to take a bath to calm her mind that was still chaotic. I wish the voice I heard on the phone was just television.
The shower at the hotel kept her calm. I won’t give up on us Hugo, and I hope you too...
