Punishment for the Killer

Question Evan

Evan felt the warmth of Elyn's embrace. That hug that felt so sincere. To make Evan remember his mistakes. Those bad memories kept swirling around in his head. He also dared to apologize. He was so sorry for acting selfish even to the point of shaking Elyn's hand.

"Ely... Ii'm sorry.. I'm really sorry I've been selfish all this time. I even brushed your hand off.. I'm really sorry Elyn. You're like this must be because of my fault.." He said full of regrets. Evan's eyes looked teary. He was desperate to regret everything he did.

Elyn stared intently at the regretful looking Evan. He also remembers everything he did. Seeing Evan who clearly looked desperate made Elyn's heart ache even more.

"Why Evan's sister is like that. It's my fault.. I ignored Evan's brother at first. I lied too. If Evan knows and is angry with me, that should be normal. I'm the one who's wrong.." Elyn's mind kept on raging. He felt he should be the one apologizing.

"Sister Evan..." Elyn held both of Evan's hands gently. Evan just kept quiet and kept looking down. The shadow as he brushed off Elyn's hand still continued to haunt him.

"Sister.. Look here dong.." Said Elyn again while driving Evan to look at her face.

"Sister.. Elyn was wrong. All of this was also initially Elyn who was wrong, it should be Elyn who apologized first to big brother." Elyn looked at Evan's face.

"But.. You're like this Elyn. I wish I wasn't selfish and spoke well with you. Maybe you won't be like this. You can't even walk Vadim. Your condition is like this. So, what was going on with you during your disappearance, Elyn?" Evan asked enthusiastically. He still believes if he is not selfish and faces it with a cold head maybe Elyn is still fine.

"Ah... No. gabe.. Not just that. I wish I wasn't jealous of Regi... What I've been doing all this time.. I've really gone crazy..". The murmur again that remembers the root of Evan's selfishness problem is his burning jealousy. Jealous of the closeness of Elyn and Regi that even he doubted their closeness since when. He knew Regi was one of the people who treated Elyn well.

"Elyn's fine, brother.. Elyn just wanted to apologize to my sister.. Elyn was wrong with her sister. If Elyn doesn't ignore brother and go with Regi's cake. Aaa... Not only that. If only I hadn't lied at breakfast in Jasmin's garden. Maybe you won't be angry either." Elyn was already shedding her tears. He's very sorry.

Evan wiped his tears. He knew very well that they each had their faults. Evan nodded his head.

"It looks like we both have mistakes, too, Elyn. We forgive each other, right?" Evan said with a smile. Still holding Elyn's cheek wet with tears.

"Hm.... But can I ask why you're ignoring me and lying to Elyn?" Evan asked with a curious glare.

Elyn was silent for a moment she hesitated to tell it but she recalled Regi's advice. He had to discuss this with Evan and hear what he thought. There's no way Elyn's been avoiding Evan forever.

"Ah.. But Evan's brother just became friends with Bella. What if something goes wrong and Evan gets angry at Bella.." Elyn again feels hesitant considering the closeness of Bella and Evan newly intertwined. He did not want Bella misunderstood by Bella again. But he also did not want to hurt Evan's feelings.

"What do I have to say to make everything okay.. Oh my.ro.." He murmured again who was still thinking about what exact action he should take to get things back to how they were.

"Ely... Let's answer.. Why did you avoid me at that time?" Evan feels Elyn is heavy to answer to the two questions he decides to hear the answers one by one slowly.

Evan's words make Elyn aware of his daydream. He decided not to say anything that would make Evan misunderstand Bella.

"alright.. I just have to tell the truth but it doesn't make them misunderstand. I won't interfere with their relationship." Elyn murmured this time with complete confidence.

"But Elyn... If at that time you ask me I will accompany you." Evan is enthusiastic.

"Yes, forgive brother... That was the first dinner. Disrespectful dong brother who as the host of the event even went with me. The reason you also eat at the table with you and your grandfather is because of that too. Because that brother is Naratama." Elyn is full of confidence

"Ah... Yeah.too.. She might dare to come up to me if she remembered such a situation. I'm too sensitive like that.. Uh.. But... If he's reluctant to take me because I'm busy why is it that when I go to him he still chooses to go with Regi?" Evan doubts Elyn's answer. He also encouraged himself to ask again.

"Why then, why did you ignore me when I approached you?" Evan asked curiously.

"Oh brother Evan.. I'm tired of talking to Regi. Trs he left his desk and helped me. Uh.. I left him that way.. That's... What kind of girl am I. If you do that.. Sis.. I can be blasphemed in blasphemy..." Elyn answered enthusiastically as she pointed her finger.

"Ah.. That's not polite.." Evan began to look smiling.

"I think I'm too sensitive.. I'm really selfish.." He murmured in a heart full of regret.

"That's it.. If only I wasn't selfish. You definitely won't be like this. I'm sorry Elyn.. I got so carried away with my emotions that I started ignoring you too." Evan felt more and more guilty about the incident.

"Eh.. Evan is even more sad.. How about dong.." Elyn started to look a little panicked.

"Sister I'm fine. I told you already. At first I was wrong. So you don't have to feel guilty dong.." Elyn seems increasingly overwhelmed by Evan's guilt.

Seeing Elyn who was burdened and again with such conditions made Evan decide to end the debate between who was wrong. He didn't want Elyn to get sad. The point is yes he should be the more mature one who should be more level-headed.

"alright.. What matters is that we forgive each other." Excited Evan who did not want to make Elyn's condition worse.

Evan had asked Elyn hard enough. Makes Elyn look a little riled up and uncomfortable. Elyn has just been found and treated.

"Ely.. There are still many things I want to ask you. About why you lied and about how you looked cuddling with Regi. Huuuuf... " Evan breathed a long breath. He was a moment late in his mind.

He looked at Elyn with a stern look. The foot in the bandage. Wound in his ankle. Even his knees and elbows were also blisters. And there were some small scratches on his arm.

"Stupid..." He mumbled looking annoyed.

"Why did I even ask that. I'm that stupid. I should have asked what happened to Elyn." Mumbled annoyed. He almost forgot to ask the reason why Elyn was like this. How could he be hurt like that. Or what really happened until he didn't go to the party.

Question after question raged in Evan's heart and mind.
