Chapter 34
****
MONTHS had passed their lives going back to normal. Ernaline is also with Perth every day wherever she goes, be it shooting or rehearsals. Most of the CDC staff also asked if the young man would return to the band but the man's only answer was he will think about it.
Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit and never dies. But Perth's case he won't go back on what he used to be and his friends accepted that even though he didn't utter a word about his reasons behind it.
They had just finished the rehearsal when the man approached him and handed him some water.
"I love hearing your voice. The first time I heard it I told myself that this person might be the key if I'm going to leave my band because of my selfish reasons." Ernaline stared at Perth when he said that out of nowhere.
"Remember the time when you were in a park? Strumming your guitar, humming like a bird?" he added.
Perth got this feeling that he thinks Ernaline might be wanted to know about this.
"Park?" Ernaline asked him with her confused face.
"You even had mistaken me as a ghost even if you didn't say that's what you thought. I was there when you started singing I see your monster."
Ernaline unconsciously touched her mouth and didn't say a word. He just wanted to say it and he didn't want anything bad with the girl.
Dezrail got a bit surprised when he saw a single tear coming from Ernaline's eye.
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for. It is a thing to be achieved. But destiny is sure that the two of them will meet.
"What's the drama of those two?" Ernaline heard Kaizen ask.
"Do I know? Why are you asking me?" Saviel replied to the man.
Ernaline is released from Perth's embrace as she caresses his face.
"Why didn't you tell me right away?" A gentle smile carved on Perth’s handsome face.
"You know I love surprises,"
"I hate surprises!" the man laughed and hugged her again because of what she said. Ernaline really couldn't believe that Perth was already there in the beginning – protecting her.
"Quit that drama Ernaline, our rehearsals have started." The girl just stared at Jasper who was hot-headed as always. Saviel is oppressing her again because the woman sold her expensive boxers.
Sinji is also staying here in the country. Sinji said that she is tired of traveling around the world because her brother's wealth has not been reduced.
They continued the rehearsal. They need to practice because this will be their key to the international spotlight. Meaning they are already an international idol because Ernaline belongs to the group.
"When are we leaving for America?" Saviel asks after their rehearsal. This woman did nothing but sleep in the studio. She also eats a lot of food every minute.
"As if you can come with us," Jasper mumbled. Saviel threw empty bottled water at Jasper because the man meant to let the woman know.
"Don't make fun of me for being bitter Jasper or you will be one of my capricious desire!" Ernaline's jaw dropped because of what Saviel said.
Even the men with them were speechless. When Ernaline recovered she approached Sav and pulled him aside.
"I noticed that you are greedy for food and sleep. Tell me the truth Sav?"
"What? What will I admit? It's normal for me to be greedy for sleep and food because I've been tired these past few days because of your hectic schedule that I need to manage."
Saviel can ask her for a break. Ernaline does not restrict it to the way of work that they have. Ernaline doesn't treat her as her assistant even though Sav can provide all that she needs from rehearsals to personal needs. The woman stared at her before speaking again.
"Don't tell me you are thinking that I'm pregnant?" The woman burst out laughing.
"That's impossible Erna'babe," Saviel released from her grip and laughed away from her. But her sad eyes did not escape Ernaline’s sight.
Did something happen to Saviel that she just didn't want to let Ernaline know?
A private jet took them to America. It is owned by the CDC where they can use it anytime when they have a sudden performance outside the country.
The issue about them and the other artists they are focusing on has also subsided a bit. It's also choking because sometimes when people's attention is always on them.
"Sleep now baby, I'll wake you up when we arrive." Order of Perth. They sit side by side while the others have their seats. In the extreme width of this plane, you can lie down in the hallway of this plane and make fun of it.
"I'm fine Perth. Don't mind me." Ernaline turned to Saviel's side of now quietly listening to music on her headphones. Ernaline wants to talk to Saviel but the woman avoids her.
"Everything will be alright. Just give her time for herself." Perth said when he notices Ernaline’s attention was on Saviel.
Ernaline was just really worried about Sav for reasons she didn’t know. Maybe it is also one of her family even though she is afraid to trust the people who become close to her again.
