Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation

Accused of dating

Unknowingly, Elena and Austin had been outside for quite some time. They forget Amel, Reza and Ferdy.

It was confirmed that the three men were talking about Elena and Austin.

Since Elena and Austin basically did not like someone talking about her, they both hurriedly walked into the house.

Arriving inside, the two were astonished because Reza and Ferdy were not as noisy as before. And when approached, it turns out the two were enjoying a meal made by Amel.

"Just be sure you two are not noisy" murmured Austin.

Elena and Austin sat down with the three of them. And both of them ate Amel's cooking.

"You two are dating?" ask Amel.

"No," said Elena and Austin.

"The two of them said you were dating" said Amel.

"We're just friends" said Elena.

Reza and Ferdy pat Austin on the shoulder, as if Austin was saddened by Alena. While Austin, he seemed confused by the behavior of his friend.

Although it was true that Austin liked Elena, but still he was not sad when Elena thought of him as just a friend. After all, Austin and Elena's relationship is only a friend.

"The better time is the same for sure" said Ferdy.

"meaning?" confused Austin.

"Sama Febry. He has loved you for a long time" Ferdy said.

"I don't like him" explained Austin.

With Austin answering like that, making Amel, Reza and Ferdy feel that Austin really likes Alena.

"If that means you like Alena dong" said Amel.

Austin glanced at Elena, then he just fell silent. He was confused on how to answer questions from Amel, because it was clear Elena knew that Austin liked her.

On the one hand, he did not want to hurt Elena by denying that he liked Elena. But on the other hand, Austin does not want to be mocked constantly by Reza and Ferdy.

"Kok be quiet. Do you really like Alena?" ask Amel.

"Don't really have to answer that question?" ask Austin.

"It has to be, let it be clear. Later if it is not answered, it means that you are just giving hope to Alena," said Amel.

"You get answered or you don't, that's Austin's right. So, you can't force her to answer your questions" Elena said.

Prok! Prok!

Reza and Ferdy applauded when they heard Elena say.

"Fix they're dating!" said Reza.

"Yes right, but they don't seem to want people to know" said Ferdy.

"It's up to you to say what, but the point is that we're both not dating" Austin explained.

Skips

Before returning home, Austin talks to Elena that tomorrow he will come here to go to school together.

Austin said that was not blatant, because if his friends knew maybe at that time they would be excited to hear Austin invite women to go to school together.

Reza and Ferdy stared at Austin. It seems that Austin does not want to leave and that makes Reza and Ferdy a little stalling to be longer at Alena's house.

"It's so sleepy, yes" said Ferdy.

Finally the three of them went home to Elena and Amel.

...****************...

Elena can't sleep because of Amel. Just this time Elena saw a woman who was snoring so loudly.

In addition to snoring, Amel was also delirious. I don't know what dreams, but it certainly seems like he's dreaming of the man of his dreams.

Speaking of the dream man, Elena somehow crossed her mind about Austin.

Austin does look like a material boyfriend. Even though he looks cute, he is actually very considerate. Besides, he is also handsome and smart. No wonder so many women like him.

Behind that, somehow Austin chose Elena as the woman he liked. Though in terms of physicality, Elena was far behind than Feby.

Elena knows why Austin doesn't like Feby. But if Austin is dating Feby and he advises Feby to take care of his behavior, maybe Feby will follow Austin's words.

"About Austin's home yet?"

To be sure, Elena just sent a message to Austin. Yeah, Elena just sent Austin.

Because for whatever reason he sent a message to Reza and Ferdy. If sending a message to the two of them, Elena was afraid if labeled as a cheap woman who approached several men.

It didn't take long, Elena's message was read by Austin. He kept staring at the screen of his phone and hoped Austin would return the message.

Instead of replying to a message, Austin called Elena.

Heart palpitations at the sight of a phone call from Austin. He never got a phone call from a man.

Elena tried to calm down, then she answered the phone call.

"I've arrived" said Austin.

"Thank God, I'm glad you got home safely."

Laughter from Austin. I don't know what he's laughing at, but it looks like Austin is laughing at Elena's words.

Elena tried to re-permeate her words and it was true that her words sounded stiff.

"I'm sorry, I'm so stiff. I've never called a guy."

"It's okay. That's what makes it funny."

A smile was engraved on Elena's face, it felt like she wanted to shout right now. If this keeps up, maybe Elena will fall in love with Austin.

"You haven't slept?" ask Austin.

"Not yet."

"Why not sleep?" ask Austin again. Then Elena explained that she could not sleep because Amel snored too loudly.

Austin suggests that Elena move rooms instead. But because it was too late, Elena did not want to move because she was very afraid.

"By the way you'd rather stay with your real parents or your new parents?" ask Austin.

"To be honest I'd rather stay with my new parents, because Alena's life was perfect for me. No different if I live as Elena, it must be all too short and I have no friends."

Unknowingly, Elena's tears were rushing over. He couldn't stand to talk about his life.

"You cry, huh?" austin asked because he heard Elena's sobs.

"Austin, I hung up. I'm so sleepy." After saying that, Elena immediately turned off her phone.

He came back crying because he honestly missed his real family. But if he comes back, he is not sure he will live happily.

Elena's ultimate goal is suicide because she is tired of her past life. So if he comes back, maybe he'll suffer again.
