Chapter 12: Chapter 12 – She's on board
In the meantime…
"Why are you wearing that? I thought I already told you in advance to wear something more casual rather than your usual ones…" Lana pouts her mouth at the sighs of Erica's outfit.
"Sorry… I just got here straight after finished the last minute meeting I have with our staff. You know I can't just leave them for a month without any preparations, right?" She does look a bit tired since her arrival earlier.
"… But still…" There was still a sign of disappointment in Lana's voice.
"Nick, some help here?" Erica's gaze shift to Nick, giving him a signal to help her with Lana.
"Lana, no matter what's your sister is wearing right now; the most important thing is she did make it on time."
"Yeah… besides, don't you want to send your big sis away with a smile rather than a pout?" Erica smile as she still tries to persuade her little sister.
"Okay… I'm going to be a very kind sister for today."
"Thank you." Erica looks relief on her face as she gives Lana a hug.
"…But, it's just for today. I won't be any nicer than this, next time."
"That's good enough for me." Erica releases her sister from her grip as she distances herself as Erica was about to board the cruise ship.
"I think you have to go now… don't forget to call me once a day, okay? Don't starve yourself coz you'll end up having gastric problem if you do. Rest if you start to feel tired; don't pushed yourself too much, and please smile more… you don't want to have wrinkles earlier than you should…" Erica just stares at the 'nag mode' that Lana just entered before; again, giving her a hug. Just as she expected; that DID make her stop.
"Don't worry… your big sis will be back before you even knew it, okay? You just take care of yourself while I'm not around." Erica whisper to her as tighten her embrace; Lana just nod without a sound.
"You take care too… you know I'll miss you more than you do…"
"Yes, I knew that… do go visit mom and for me while I'm away too."
"I'll do that… "
"…and you; I'll give the full responsibility to this girl to you while I'm not here." Lana seems shock at her words before she looks away with a pout as she parts away from Erica.
"What's the big idea?!?!?"
"As you wish madam…" Nick bows to Erica slyly with a smirk on his face; a teasing wink at Lana while he was at it.
"Nick!"
"Sis, I can take care of myself! I don't need him to look over me, you know I'm not a kid, right?" Lana was still trying to look as though as she can.
"That's actually giving me the more reason for me to be worry about you…"
"…And what's that supposed to mean?"
"BOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!" The sound of the cruise ship's horn signaling that it was about to sail.
"Enough chit chat, I need to go now; bye!" it was like music to Erica's ears as she smoothly walks away from the still—annoyed sister who can only stand there for the moment.
"Erica!! Come back here, I'm not finish with you yet!" Erica was running towards the entrance as the guard was there to check on her ticket.
"We'll continue on the phone! Bye!" Finally she turns to face Lana right after she had safely boarding the ship.
"Don't forget to call us! I'll miss you! We'll miss you!!"
"Lana… you have no idea…" Erica whispers with a tone that only she could hear while her gaze was still fixing on her sister.
"Nick, will she be alright?" Lana speaks with a rather doubly tone ass she was still waving towards Erica.
"Don't worry… I know her; she'll be fine… besides, she's not alone on that cruise."
"You think… we're doing the right thing for her?"
"We've done our best to make sure they'll meet again… so as for now; it's their turn. Let's just pray that those guys do have some fate to be together." Lana finally turns to take a look at Nick as he was gazing the same way the cruise that Erica's been boarding earlier when; sailing towards where the sun starts to set.
