Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation

Happiness (END)

When everyone came home, Elena and Austin went to the UKS. Austin did not want to be treated, but because Elena forced him, so Austin was forced to comply.

"Why care so much about me?" austin asked as he looked at Elena who was treating Austin's wrist injury.

"Because at that time you also cared about me, that's why I wanted to repay your kindness."

"It wasn't that time that you told me to stay away from you. But right now, you're approaching me.

"sorry. Actually I didn't mean to. I'm just afraid that I'm being bullied because I'm close to you."

Austin assures Elena that Feby will never bully Elena again. Because, if Feby bullies Elena again, Austin won't stay silent.

"Oh yeah, said you had a girlfriend?" elena asked, because she wanted to make sure that Manda's words were true or not.

"I don't have a boyfriend."

"Don't lie! I know you have a boyfriend."

Austin was confused, because he really did not have a girlfriend.

"I don't have a boyfriend."

"But I heard it said you held hands with a girl and that girl was definitely your boyfriend."

Austin smiled, for some reason he felt that Elena was jealous.

"Yes, I have. Why is it?" austin asked while holding back his laughter, as he was sure that Elena was jealous.

"He said he didn't have it, but now he says he has it. It's so strange to be a guy" Elena said in an annoyed tone.

Austin smiled as he looked at Elena. "Are you jealous?"

"Ih no!"

After treating Austin, Elena hurriedly took her bag.

"I'm going home first."

"Home with me."

"No need! your boyfriend will be angry." Elena is out of the UKS.

Skips

Tin! Tin!

Elena stopped walking and she turned her head towards the motorcyclist who was honking. And it turns out that the biker was Austin.

"Let's ride!" take Austin.

"No need! I'm going on foot."

"If you don't ride, I'll keep following you."

"Whatever."

Elena kept going and she didn't care about Austin.

Not intending to stay away from Austin again, only Elena felt sad because it turned out Austin already had a lover.

"If you like it, say, not even harbored," said Austin who continued to follow Elena using his vehicle.

Hearing Austin's words, Elena stopped her steps. Elena feels that Austin knows if Elena likes him.

Elena looked towards Austin. "meaning?" ask Elena who pretends not to understand.

Austin was silent. Because it's useless, Elena would definitely not admit that she likes Austin.

"Na, eat chicken noodles yuk," asked Austin, because it happened to sell chicken noodles in front of him.

"I'm full."

"If so accompany me to eat, you're tired of eating alone."

After recalling the events at the rooftop, Elena became sorry for Austin.

"Yes already."

"Ride up!" get Austin.

"No need. The only thing selling it is close, so I'm on foot."

"I'm hungry for it."

Because of his heartlessness, Elena finally got on the Austin bike. Then, Austin drove his motorcycle to a place that sold chicken noodles.

Skips

Elena sat opposite Austin. Because he felt awkward, he finally played his phone.

A few minutes later, someone delivered an Austin order and placed it on the table.

"Are you hungry?" elena asked, because Austin ordered two bowls of chicken noodles and two glasses of coconut ice.

Austin shifted the bowl and glass before Elena. "It's yours."

"I didn't order."

"Please, I'll pay. So you just spend it."

It was actually not a matter of who paid, but right now Elena was very full. But since Austin has already ordered, so Elena will appreciate it.

"Thank you."

"Yes are the same."

Elena enjoyed the food while playing her phone. He deliberately did it because he was lazy to chat with Austin. More precisely, Elena felt she had to keep up because Austin already had a girlfriend.

Because Austin didn't speak at all, so Elena took a quick look at him to ascertain whether Austin was looking at him or not.

And Elena's guess was wrong, it turned out that Austin was enjoying noodles while staring at the wound on his wrist.

Elena was worried. "It hurts?"

Austin just shook his head and replied that it didn't hurt.

"If you need a story, I'm ready to hear your story."

"I don't need to tell anyone else. The sad part won't be long either."

"This is not true" Elena muttered.

"What's not right?" confused Austin.

"The conversation was exactly with the conversation I had dreamed of."

"It may just be a coincidence."

Elena denied it because she often experienced some of the same events as her dreams while she was in a coma.

"Are you lying?"

"Seriously. But the events I'm going through aren't entirely exactly what the dream is."

Then, Elena tells about the events in her dream which at that time she dreamed there was Feby and a woman who was arguing in the rooftop. But in real life, Elena actually met with Feby and Austin who were fighting.

"So that time on the rooftop, you hid because you wanted to make sure of that?" ask Austin, and Elena nodded.

"Try telling me about your dreams when you're in a coma" Austin said.

Elena refused to tell him. If he told me everything, Austin could have known Elena had dreamed it.

"Why not tell a story? or maybe you dream there's me?" guess Austin.

Elena gulped her saliva, she became nervous because Austin's guess was so precise.

"Really, right?" austin asked, then Elena just shook her head while answering no.

"If you lie to sin."

Elena was silent for a moment. "Yes, I dreamt I was you."

After revealing that, Elena instantly shifted her gaze.

Austin propped up his chin and smiled at Elena. "You sure like me, don't you?"

Elena was silent, she was at a loss as to what to say. If she said anything, Elena would be very nervous and it would make Austin suspicious.

"If silence means right."

"Hmm.iya's right. But it's just a dream, so you don't get excited. I really don't like you."

"If you don't like it, why do you want to be friends with me?"

"That's not what it means. I mean it, I don't love you."

Elena bit her lower lip, she felt like a loser for having denied the truth.

"When do you lie?"

"meaning?"

"I know that you like me. From your behavior it seems that you have feelings for me. Even when you're jealous, it's obvious."

Elena's heart was pounding. He could no longer dodge when he heard Austin's words.

"Yes, I like you." Elena.

"But I will try not to like you anymore." Unknowingly, Elena shed her tears.

"Why try not to like me?" ask Austin.

"Because I don't deserve to like someone. And also you already have a boyfriend, so I better throw away my feelings."

As Elena was about to leave, Austin suddenly stopped her and told her he had no girlfriend.

"I actually have the same feeling as you."

Elena was just staring, she thought she was hallucinating. But Austin did say that.

"Sit down!" austin's orders, because Elena was about to leave. Then, Elena sat back down at the original place.

Austin held onto Elena's two hands nervously. "Hmm.actually I like you."

"No way."

"I'm serious, Na."

Elena looked into Austin's eyes to see if he was telling the truth or not. Although there seemed to be no lies, Elena still did not believe it.

"I can't believe it. You must be talking like that because you want to pity me, right?"

"Absolutely not."

"If you like me, what proof?"

Austin picks up his phone and he shows his group chat to Elena.

It says Austin confesses to Reza and Ferdy that he likes Elena.

"Is this serious or just kidding?"

Austin looked flat at Elena, but it was clear there was Austin's confession. Elena thinks Austin is just kidding.

"What do I look like is joking?" austin asked, then Elena just shook her head.

"Why do you like me? I am not beautiful."

"I thought you were beautiful."

"But I feel like I'm not pretty."

Austin assures Elena that all women are beautiful. In addition, Austin also advised Elena not to constantly discuss beauty. Because the main points of one's beauty are seen from his personality first. After knowing that a person's personality is good, then he will look beautiful in the eyes of others.

"So what now? want to be a friend or someone special?" ask Austin.

"What does that special person mean?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid."

"Well, I want to be a special person."

After a long time, Elena finally believed in the words 'there will be happiness after sadness'. And it is evident by what he is experiencing now, that one will not be constantly in sorrow. Sooner or later, they will also find their own happiness.
