Chloe was stunned to find a black shadow covering the light of the lamp above her. The shadow was the silhouette of someone standing looking at him. It was obvious from its shape that the shadow was Black Aura.
The aura was silent and still holding on to its current position. The only difference is, a sprig of veronica flowers that he held. Black Aura was as usual silent without words. Her violet bead looked at Chloe with a flat gaze. There was no word that came to mind other than the void within him.
“Aura?” Chloe looked up revealing her shattered face. The girl was still in her curled up position, quickly wiping away the tears on her left cheek. Then, trying to singleness smile even though it felt very impossible for him to lie in such a mood.
Black Aura lowered her head while equalizing the position of her face with Chloe. He then tidied up the potatoes and sponge that were strewn on the floor. There was no comment that Aura made on Chloe.
Actually, Black Aura was secretly watching Chloe who was crying earlier. He went awry to let Chloe in such a bad state despite the fact that the girl had repeatedly wronged him.
Well, to Black Aura, it was no big deal to him. Because the pain would, after all, end up being her strength. The pain that would help him kill Legend Aura if the problem in this Carnater was resolved.
Black Aura was aware, Chloe and herself's power in enduring the pain was different. Chloe's a girl and she's a human. Her feelings are vulnerable to negative thoughts and Black Aura frankly understands what Chloe was feeling at that time.
Black Aura decides to accompany Chloe and forgive her. He believes that his girlfriend can change.
If she can change, why can't Chloe?
Black Aura smiled after that, letting out a short sigh. The aura then looked up at Chloe then asked, “Sick huh?”
Chloe was stunned to hear the Black Aura's question. For a moment, Chloe fell silent. Before the end, nod slowly.
“Who hurt you?”
This second question actually succeeded in making Chloe look up a hundred percent of her face facing Black Aura. That way, Black Aura can find out how severe and messy Chloe's face and feelings are. The glass is excessive.
Chloe's lips twitched. It was difficult for him to answer the second question that Black Aura was asking. Not because he doesn't want to admit his mistakes. Instead, he was confused, had to string together the answer as to what.
“I, Ethan... Aura?”
“Lho? Me too?”
“Iya..”
“Reason?”
“Because you ignored me. I thought we were going to break up today. I thought I couldn't see you anymore. I thought, today, my last day with you, Aura. To be honest, I'm afraid I can't see you anymore. I like you, even more. But I always ignored you. Now I understand how it hurts to be ignored when you try to make the people you love happy,” Chloe said at length. Before long, her face reddened as soon as she realized the intention of Black Aura was actually to want Chloe to not understand what it was like to be ignored while struggling to make others happy.
Sick, right? Even an Aura like Black Aura alone could feel the pierced pain it was not worth ignoring.
“Now, I understand that the thing that makes you sad the most is to be ignored. Since childhood, you have been neglected huh?” black Aura asked while helping Chloe stand up.
“Indeed, since childhood you are often ignored huh?” ask Black Aura. The atmosphere around them was silent and awkward. That's why, he tried to thaw it by getting Chloe to talk. Mana knows, the girl's feelings can improve by being invited to share stories.
Isn't that what they really want? Share the story while enjoying a plate of french fries and just the two of them.
Chloe agreed to Black Aura's question just now. Slowly too, his lips that had felt stiff to smile, could finally smile back because there was Black Aura beside him.
The two teenagers walked back to the kitchen.
“Wait here yes... Let me take our dinner,” Black Aura said as she pushed Chloe gently into the corner of the room in the living room.
“Indeed, where do you want us to eat?”
“Intinya, away from the crowd.”
“OK..”

“Lho? Where's chloe?” chirped Aoi as Black Aura stepped into the dining room just like that. There was no greeting or greeting that Aura gave them. Well, just like her usual self.
Black Aura while taking some dishes replied, “The point is not here.”
“So, where is he? He didn't run away, did he?” Ethan chimed in.
Beside the man, Midnight frowned inexplicably so that the activity of preparing some dishes on his desk became interrupted.
“Not your business,” replied Black Aura coldly. Thinking that the plate he brought was enough to hold fries, curry, sponge, and grilled chicken, he said, Black Aura thoughtlessly moved from the dining room to the middle room where Chloe was waiting for her at this moment.
Meanwhile, Midnight and the five teenagers could only silently observe the movements of Black Aura.
Midnight smiled faintly. Didn't she?
“Black Aura, can I help you?” bargain Ethan suddenly rose from his chair to the point of shaking the dining table. Aoi who was about to pour cola into her glass, almost spilled to the side.
It was not Black Aura who answered Ethan's offer, it was Midnight who spoke up so that the man did not interfere with Black Aura's time together with Chloe. The awkwardness that a few minutes earlier had troubled Midnight's mind was finally answered already.
Midnight realizes that Ethan's presence here is very disturbing to Black Aura in doing something. Even more so with Chloe. Midnight guess, Ethan actually not only put feelings on him but also with Chloe.
Just as Ethan was about to approach Black Aura, Midnight quickly restrained the man.
“Let them alone. Besides, I have a lot of questions that you have to answer everything to the end, okay?” midnight said with a blink of her eye.

Chloe who had just finished arranging the chairs and tables in the rooftop was taken aback by Black Aura who brought a lot of food on the large tray. Of all the food, strangely enough, only the fries are what Chloe thinks is a bit wrong.
“Cotatoes are a lot,” comments while counting the number of potatoes on his plate. 55 pieces. For people who are hungry or greedy nature, probably will not question the number of potatoes and prioritize the stomach. But, Chloe's different. The girl felt that her dinner this time was too much.
“This is not for you, Chloe. There was also me who ate potatoes,” said Black Aura while opening a can of coca cola, then poured it into Chloe's glass. After that, the glass.
“Oalah... Well, you can just say that this potato is for both of us.”
“Lazy said. Just eat hard times.”
“Kok, the answer is that? You still mad at me?”
“Do you think?”
Chloe threw her breath out loudly in response to her boyfriend's attitude that started to suck.
“Chloe... Who has ignored you in the past?” black Aura asked suddenly.
Chloe flinched and reflexively turned her head towards Black Aura. He tilted his head but felt enthusiastic on the other side. His right hand, grasping the potato, chose to go down.
“Many. The pain is still felt though. I try to forget it. I'm sorry, if for example my crying is too much. After that, in the past it..” Chloe was silent for a while.
“No, only my friends ignore me. Teacher, even my family is also.”
“So yeah? Somewhat similar to mother...” Og Black Aura.
“What? You mean, me and Midnight are pretty much the same?” chloe asked and the question was answered with a small nod of Black Aura.
“Indeed, because what? Is it because she has special abilities so she dumped everyone?” guess Chloe's origin.
Black Aura chuckled amusedly hearing it, “Stupid. He was just an ordinary man. Since marrying his father, he is no longer human. Rather than talking about my mother, I wanted to know your story. I wonder, why are you crying so much that every time you ignore it? What kind of trauma have you experienced?”
“Taste much. If you want to know, I'll tell you now.”
Chloe confirmed her sitting position, leaning on Black Aura's left arm.
The sky tonight is really bright. Coupled with the wind that was not so strong but quite soothing to their bodies. Dinner at the rooftop seems to be the most beautiful dinner for Chloe and Black Aura.
The two teenagers showed each other their best smiles.
“Sit sweet huh! Don't be drowsy, either, yeah! Watch out for you sleeping!” threaten Chloe with the fork in front of Black Aura.
Black Aura snorts, “Free. That fork won't kill me.”
“Bogged. Once stabbed, cry for hugging,” Chloe's lips that are not suspected immediately get a surprise attack from Black Aura in the form of tickling.
“What the fuck?! Whoi! Amused!” Chloe is trying to fight Black Aura. Unfortunately, Black Aura still did not want to separate herself from Chloe and kept tickling the girl.
At such times, Chloe could clearly beat the sound of Black Aura laughing loosely. The aura looked happy with the action this time.
“Oh, is that it? Here I reply you!”
With her shoes, Chloe kicked Black Aura in the face then retaliated against Aura's attack. He flicked Black Aura's forehead repeatedly until the Aura gave up.
“Sick times, jeez..” Black Aura stroked her blushing forehead after getting fifteen times Chloe's fatal flick.
“Makanya, do not origin tickle people dong! Come on, be eaten! If the cold is not good,” invite Chloe.
Finally, the teenage couple ate their dinner quietly. While enjoying the beautiful scenery at night, Chloe begins to tell her past to Black Aura.
