Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation

Misbehavior

The time has shown at 7 pm, but at this time Austin has not come home.

The specks of rain began to fall, making Elena run into the house. Elena was waiting outside. After the rain, he decided to go inside.

"Was Austin coming?" asked Amel who was watching television.

"It's not like it's raining."

"Why not return the book tomorrow? though it's a holiday tomorrow," astonished Amel.

"He's not just here to return books. But he's taking me somewhere, too."

When Amel asks about where Alena is going. Then, Elena replied that she wanted to go to Talitha's house.

Tinctong! Tinctong!

The house bell rang and it made Elena run out. He was convinced that the person who pressed the doorbell was Austin.

And once it's outside, it turns out it's true that it's Austin. The entire outfit she was wearing was very drenched and it made Elena feel guilty.

Elena finally invited Austin to her house.

"You wait here, please" Elena said as she went to her parents' room.

He took his towel and his papa clothes. After that, he went back to Austin who was in the living room.

Elena put a towel on Austin's body. "This is changing first, afraid you catch a cold," said Elena while giving clothes and pants.

Finally Austin escorted Elena to the toilet. While waiting for Austin to change clothes, Elena walked to the kitchen to make warm sweet tea.

Skips

Adrian approached Elena and Amel who were in the middle room. Spontaneous Elena and Amel turned towards Austin.

I don't know why his papa clothes are very suitable to be worn by Austin. Although his clothes were slightly oversized, Austin still looked handsome.

"I'm making you some sweet tea." Elena gave the sweet tea to Austin. Then, Austin drank it straight away because he was so thirsty.

"Oh yes! I made instant noodles first yes," said Amel.

"Don't bother" Austin said.

"It's okay, after all, to make instant noodles easy anyway," said Amel, then he went to the kitchen.

Austin opened his bag and he put Elena's books on the table.

"Thank you, yes" said Elena, then Austin nodded.

"Well, I'll keep the book first."

Quickly, Austin returned to pick up Elena's books. "Let me help you take it." Then, Elena invited Austin to go to her room.

"Do you like pink?" austin asked, because the items in Elena's room were predominantly pink.

"No" replied Elena.

Elena picked up her books, and she put them on her desk.

"Oh yeah, you need medicine?" elena asked, because she was afraid Austin had a fever because of the rain.

"I don't need medicine, but I need a hug" joked Austin.

Elena looked at Austin, thinking that Austin was still in a state of sadness, so she spoke like that.

To make her smile back, Elena finally hugged Austin.

On the other hand, Austin was surprised that Elena was hugging him. Though all he said was a joke, but Elena took it seriously.

Before long, Elena let go of her embrace. "Is she calm yet?"

Austin held back his smile, to be honest he felt misbehaved by Elena.

"Still sad?"

"Not really," replied Austin.

All the lights in the house suddenly went out and there was a scream from the kitchen.

Yes, Amel shouted to Alena to come to the kitchen, because Amel was afraid because he was alone in the kitchen.

Because Elena and Adrian's phones were in the living room, so they walked slowly towards the living room.

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

The light is still not on and it makes the air around be creepy. Plus the sound of lightning that made Amel continue to scream because he was easily surprised.

"Adrian, if the rain has not subsided, you better sleep here. There's an empty room anyway" Elena said.

"If for example you are afraid, yes we have slept all three," said Amel.

Plaque!

Hearing Amel's words, made Elena spontaneously hit his hand.

"I'm sorry, he said he likes to be flat-headed," said Elena.

"It's okay. I know he was just kidding, anyway" Austin said.

Trinzine! Trinzine!

Instead of being answered, Austin refused his call.

"Why was his call rejected?"

"It doesn't matter."

Elena seems to understand Austin's problem. He seemed to be fighting with his parents, so he chose to leave the house.

"Austin, what are you doing?" ask Amel.

"There is no problem" replied Austin.

"Said Elena, you said you had a problem. Even Elena was very worried about you," said Amel.

Elena threw a pillow at Amel. "Austin, don't believe her words."

Austin just smiled at Elena's current behavior, she was more expressive compared to Elena he used to know.

"Austin, what was Alena at school like? must be really naughty, huh?" ask Amel.

Austin took a quick look at Elena. "He used to be a little shy, but now he's not."

"Have you? it's not like he just moved to Merdeka High School for a few days?" wonder Amel.

"She meant she was shy the first time she came in" explained Austin.

Elena was shy and could not communicate with people. Plus no one wants to talk to him, so he better be a quiet person.

But after getting to know Talitha, Elena now felt she could socialize with others.

"I went to the toilet first yes, because of stomach pain," said Amel while running towards the toilet.

Now only Elena and Austin are in the living room. So the two just stared at each other without speaking a word.

Both are trying to find a topic, because if not, it might be too awkward.

"When did your parents come home?" ask Austin.

"Say it's Monday."

The atmosphere became awkward again. Austin asked that.

"Oh yeah, I'll go to my own parents' house."

"It wasn't yesterday that I wanted to be delivered."

"Don't, because I'm too much trouble for you."

"Nothing, anyways I'm happy to bother you."

It was as if Elena felt the sensation of her stomach butterflies. It seems hard not to fall in love with Austin, because he always makes Elena misbehave.

"It's a good thing that Amel is here. Just try not to have him, maybe you'll be scared" Austin said.

"There will be no fear, there will be you."

"I mean, if there's no one here, you're scared."

Elena lowered her head because she was so embarrassed. "Oh that's it."

Austin chuckled as he looked at Elena who was holding back in shame.
