Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation
Birthday party
The next day, Austin takes Elena to his mama's salon. The reason for going there is because Austin knows that Elena can't dress up.
"A gift for Talitha not brought? because it runs out of the salon, we go straight to the show," said Austin.
"Brought. It's in the paper bag."
"Dress did you try?"
"Not yet."
Elena gets a message from Talitha, she sends a video to Elena. When the video opened, it turned out that the video showed Talitha showing the venue of her birthday event.
"Well! it's so fancy."
"What's fancy?" ask Austin.
"Talitha's birthday party."
"When was your birthday ever celebrated?" austin asked, and Elena shook her head and explained that she had never celebrated a birthday.
I don't know why Austin feels sorry for Elena. At that time, he decided to commit suicide.
"When is your birthday?"
Elena looked towards Austin. "Why ask that?"
"I just want to know."
Elena finally told Austin when her birthday was.
...****************...
Arriving at the salon, Austin immediately told his mama employees to dress Elena. While waiting for Elena to get dressed, Austin decides to video call Reza and Ferdy.
He video calls his friends because to make sure his friends are present or not at Talitha's birthday event.
Before long, Reza and Ferdy answered a video call from Austin.
"What's up, Tin?" reza and Ferdy asked at the same time.
"You two are going to Talitha's birthday?"
"So really," said the two of them.
Reza invites Austin to leave with her and Ferdy, but Austin refuses.
"You want to go alone? or are you going with Feby?" ledek Ferdy's.
"I'm leaving with Elena."
Hearing Austin's words, Reza and Ferdy are shocked.
"Why Elena?" ask Reza.
"It's up to me."
"Don't you like Elena?"
Austin fell silent, as he did not expect that his friends would say that.
"Well! I think you like him, too" said Reza.
"Oh yes! you used to tell me Elena was funny, right?" said Ferdy.
"When did I say it was like that?"
"Time is first."
Austin used to say that Elena was funny, but she didn't like it at all.
"Speaking funny doesn't mean I like him."
"Don't tell me that, who knows, you'll have a crush" Reza said.
On the other hand, Elena unintentionally listened to Austin's words. He was a little sad because he thought Austin liked him.
"Eh! where you going?" austin asked, turning off the video call.
"I was told to change clothes first, just finished it was dressed," Elena said as she went to the toilet.
...****************...
Done in the dress, Austin suddenly came to Elena.
"Thank you, yes" Elena said without looking at Austin.
"It's the same" Austin said.
After that, Austin invites Elena to go to Talitha's birthday event because soon the show will begin.
While in the car, Elena was silent. Although Austin continued to invite her to chat, Elena only answered him briefly.
"Don't you like makeup?" ask Austin to make sure.
"Like it."
"Why so frown?"
"It's okay."
Arriving at the venue, Elena immediately got off the Austin car.
"Austin, I'm first."
"Why not together?" ask Austin.
"Later afraid people will think that we have a relationship, so we better not be together." Elena hurriedly left before anyone else saw her.
Elena doesn't want to be with Austin. But it doesn't want to have a deeper taste of Austin, so it's better to keep your distance.
"Elena!" call Talitha.
Elena walked over to Talitha, then she said happy birthday to Talitha and did not forget Elena also gave gifts to Talitha.
"You are so beautiful" praised Talitha.
"The beauty is you, not me."
"Seriously, tonight you are beautiful" Talitha said.
"Talitha, happy birthday, yes" said Austin who just arrived.
Elena asks Talitha for permission to go to the toilet, when in fact she wants to avoid Austin.
Arriving at the toilet, Elena didn't know what to do. He just plays his phone and looks at the camera of his phone to make sure that he is really beautiful or not.
Suddenly someone took Elena's phone and Elena automatically turned her head towards that person.
"What friends do you like about Austin?" ask Feby.
"I don't know" said Elena, when in fact she knew that Talitha liked Austin.
Feby looked at Elena's phone, which he was holding, and then he returned it to Elena. "I'm sorry to bother you with the photos."
"I don't take pictures, I just look at my face on camera."
Feby looked at Elena from head to toe.
"You've changed."
"meaning?"
"Udah forget," said Feby as he left.
5 Minutes later, Elena came back to the others. He was confused as to what to do, as most of them were chatting and enjoying the food.
Having no one to chat with, Elena finally enjoyed the dishes that had been provided.
As Elena picked up the cake, some people looked at Elena and it made Elena into insecure.
"Elena?" ask Reza.
"Yes, why?"
"Lunatic wow! how beautiful." anyway."
Elena was silent, knowing that Reza was bullying her.
"Not thank you people, this is even silent," recalls Reza.
"I know if you insult me again." Elena's eyes were glazed.
"No. You are beautiful."
Unknowingly, Elena shed her tears. He thought everyone was not praising him, but rather taunting him.
"Loh! even cry," said Reza felt guilty.
Suddenly Austin came. "He why?"
"So I praised him, but he said that I mocked him" Reza explained.
Rather than mess with the atmosphere, Austin hurriedly pulled Elena to a place a bit far away.
"Why cry? Reza will praise you, why you even cry."
"He lied. Where there I am beautiful." Elena wiped her tears.
"Aren't you seeing yourself in the mirror?" austin asked, and Elena replied that she saw herself in the mirror, but she felt that she was not as beautiful as people said she was.
"You're beautiful, Elena."
Elena was silent, she was afraid that the compliment would be a tranquilizer.
"Austin, you better go. You see, people are now looking at us."
Austin looked back and it was true that everyone was watching him with Elena.
"Come on over there!" take Austin.
"I'm here."
Austin clasped Elena's hand tightly and led her towards his friends.
Seeing Austin clutching Elena's hand tightly, made everyone distrustful of it. Because Austin, who was dubbed as a cute man, is now turned into a romantic man.
