ELLA AND MICHAEL

Wait Here for a moment Yes!

Michael dropped his phone and…

“Wait here for a minute, I'll answer someone's phone. Eat it, if it's cold it's not good anymore.”

Michael got up and walked out of the supermarket to talk to the person who called him.

Ella who was left by Michael was very upset, then took a deep breath and exhaled again.

“Sials. Why should I eat this junk food. He's really stingy. It doesn't matter if it's poor, but don't be stingy.”

Ella muttered alone, as Michael had walked out of the supermarket.

Outside the supermarket, Michael is receiving a phone call that turns out, Tom is the one who called him.

“Why call me? What's the situation under control? Good then.” Tom asked an unclear question.

“What do you mean?! Are you crazy?”

Michael was confused, because Tom asked otherwise.

“Pak Michael's. I asked just in case. Did the author Ella ever say anything, that you were beautiful, that she wanted you, or that kind of saying?”

Michael was silent when asked by Tom.

“Gosh. I'm pretty sure he would have said that.”

“What's the reason?” ask Michael.

“Listen to me carefully. When he says he wants you, it means he's hungry.”

Michael sees Ella from behind the supermarket.

“In other words, he will devour you alive,” continued Tom.

“Then? Why is it important to me?” asked Michael who still saw Ella from the supermarket glass.

“We are in a very emergency. Her latest book is banned, she shouldn't relax with you there. He should write a new book.”

Michael still does not understand what to do, for what Tom has said.

“Alright, Mr. Michael. Whatever happens, I'll drag Ella back to Texas. Please stay alive until.. I mean..”.

“You have to hang on with him until then. Good luck.”

Tom turned off his phone.

“Who is it?” ask Ella.

“Hospital Parties.”

“Why? Did they ask you to come back? Or would you fire me?”

*SLURRRPPP

Michael instead ate the noodles that had started to cool and ignored Ella's question.

“I'm very good at ignoring people. Very clever.”

So did Ella who ended up eating instant noodles, because it was forced by circumstances.

“I heard that your new book is banned. Is that true?”

Michael asked Ella.

“Which book? What title? ‘Life Story Zombie’?” ask Ella back.

“What was it because of what you did for my brother at that time, until your book was banned from circulation?”

“You take it easy, Michael. Cussing and collecting will not make the book I made banned from circulation, what's more bankrupt. I wrote thousands of books over the years.”

“Only, the book titled ‘Zombie’ Life Story has illustrations and content that is too cruel. Fucking stupid man. They can't see the hidden message behind it.”

Ella cursed while she was eating.

“What is the moral message?” ask Michael who is curious.

“Read it yourself. I'm curious about your opinion on that.”

“Are you kidding? I'm too old to read a fairy tale book.”

“Gosh. Come onl. Your age is very fitting. There are still many of my fans who are much older than you.”

“What's your age?” ask Michael.

“I? I was very small, Michael. Even though you are older than me, but I think you are much younger than me, when viewed from the other side.”

“Why can you say that?”
