"ELLE!"
Erick yelled as he rushed towards her direction.
The woman whom Erick called Elle halted on her steps and turned to the direction of that voice. In no time, Erick reached her spot and pulled her against his body, hugging her tightly.
"Oh my! Oh my! Who is this very handsome guy?!" The girl beside them gasped in surprise as she watched the scene unfolding in front of her.
The girl in his arms didn't protest nor push Erick away. Instead, her body acted on its own as she hugged him back. When Erick felt that soft arms wrapping his body as if he found what he had lost for these past two years.
The girl who was witnessing this scene didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She was utterly shocked because of her friend's boldness.
'Oh my?! What happened to the earth?! She is hugging a complete stranger? I am not dreaming right?!'
