ELLA AND MICHAEL

I saw Him with Writer Ella!

“See she left with Author Ella, this afternoon. Can't you call your sister?”

Michael shook his head and,

The nurse continued her steps.

So did Michael who immediately pulled out his phone and tried to contact Ella.

Ella picks up the phone from Michael.

“Where's my sister?” ask Michael.

“She is with me,” Ella replied from the phone.

“I warned you to stay away from my sister.”

“I just shot him out of boredom. You want to pick her up?”

“Where are you?”

“In the cursed castle.”

“Good. I'll be there soon.”

“Do you know the place?”

“Ya.”

“How can you know?”

“I've been there. When I ran away, after you saved me back then.”

Apparently true, Michael had gone to the house when he was a child.

Michael immediately fled the house, when he saw Ella who split the butterfly in two.

“Do you know before? Since when did you know that?

Ella is also shocked, that Michael has known all.

“We met there,” said Michael who then hung up.

Michael rushes to the cursed castle, where Ella lives.

Inside the castle, Marco looks half-conscious at the dining table, due to too much beer he spent.

Ella, who was sitting next to Marco, started telling stories to Marco who was half conscious.

“Kak. Want to hear an old story?”

“Ya,” replied Marco with contorted eyes.

“The mother always told him her daughter, that she was too special to live with others outside the castle.”

“The mother told her to stay in the castle forever. To The Girl, the castle is like a prison.”

“He always prayed to the moon. ‘Please send handsome prince to save me.’ Is he coming tonight? Will he come tomorrow?”

“Sang Girl keeps waiting for her arrival.”

***

Moments later, Michael had reached the front gate of the castle.

Michael paused for a moment and recalled his childhood, which had run away from there, in fear of seeing Ella splitting a butterfly.

Michael opened the gate and walked into it.

When Michael had arrived right in front of the castle, he saw Ella who stood on the balcony of his castle wearing a white dress, like an angel.

They looked at each other, too.

Without thinking, Michael went into the castle and followed Ella who was standing alone on the balcony.

Michael entered the house and climbed the stairs, towards where Ella was standing.

When Michael arrived there, he was immediately asked by Ella who had been waiting for him.

“Since when did you know? When did you know the real me?”

“Maybe I know it, since the first time I looked into your eyes,” Michael replied.

“Waaah!!!! Your acting skills really gave me goosebumps. You deserve the Oscar.”

“Is it fun for you? You were so mean when you pretended not to know me. Do you dare to play me?”

Ella kept asking and cornered Michael.

“You are the same...”.

“I?” cut Ella.

“I don't pretend I don't know you.”

“I know that. You just wanted my attention, but I dodged it. I want to pretend I don't know and ignore you,” said Michael.

“Why did you do that?” ask Ella.

“Don't I tell you that night? ‘He saved me, but I ran away. Like a coward’ After that, I keep running away from you.”
