The Dandelions

A faded feeling

Eren stood at Elieon's door and stayed there long enough, convincing himself to be brave. When the door to Elieon's room opened, it was seen that Elieon had changed his clothes with an adorable nightgown suit while carrying a bag of black plastic.

Eren was surprised as well as Elieon, the two of them stared at each other. Eren immediately looked away from Kesmaping, his ears were red and his hands were covering his mouth and nose. Elieon who saw that just kept quiet and watched.

"Eren? Since when is it here?" ask Elieon in surprise.

"Mom-not that, it's not what you think it is. I'm not a stalker. Su-really." Eren still turned his blushing face and did not dare to look at the cute looking Elieon back then.

"Huh? meaning?" Elieon tilted his head still astonished by Eren's attitude. Eren immediately looked at Elieon timidly.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any bad intentions. I was just about to knock because you didn't seem to hear me when I called earlier. But suddenly you opened the door, I was just surprised." said Eren slowly, now his hand continues to hold the back of the neck.

"I want to take out the trash." explains Elieon.

" I will be with you." - timpal Eren. Eren and Elieon step together out of the rental building into a box of public landfills across the street.

Along the way the two of them fell silent, Eren just followed Elieon's footsteps. There was no conversation between the two getting to the landfill. When Eren is about to return, he holds Elieon's wrist.

"El would you like to sit with me for a while at the park?" ask Eren

"I don't want to. It's cold and my clothes are thin. We're talking in my room." Elieon said. The two return to Elieon's room, Eren sits down and enjoys the warm water that Elieon presents.

"What do you want to say?" ask Elieon.

"Tomorrow you're starting your winter break right, I want to take you out on a walk and have dinner outside." Eren.

"Where?" ask Elieon again

"There's one place I'd like to go, I think it would be nice to take you. Just visiting my mom and dad, you have no appointments tomorrow, right?" eren

"There is no promise. I can come, what time do we leave?" elieon said casually.

"Because it is located far enough, we will leave at 9 am" said Eren satisfied.

"Who will come?"ask Elieon curiously.

"Ha-just the two.It doesn't matter, right?" eren asked nervously

"Why?" ask Elieon again

"It's not what. I just wanted to take you out. If you feel uncomfortable, I can understand." Eren explained in a slightly sad tone

"alright. I'm coming along." said Elieon, which made Eren excited. His white face looked brighter when he smiled. Elieon smiled as well.

Before long Eren chatted to go to bed early. Eren leaves Elieon's room full of satisfaction at being able to take Elieon away with just the two of them, more precisely dating.

'I haven't been out for a long time. Old man.hmm it seems like I also need to visit Elieon's inner father and mother. He hadn't visited his parents' house in a long time. Elieon last went there about 1 year ago.

Elieon sighed furiously. She misses family, but her parents just called a few more to confirm her condition. Amidst the daydreaming Elieon vibrated clearly there are 1 message from Kay and 1 other unexpected pesa. It was from Eddie his own uncle.

1st messages

El..

If you have time, come to the cafe tomorrow morning. There's a cheese croissant I want to give you. I'm waiting for."

from: Kay

2nd message's

Honey, tomorrow is your father's birthday. You remember right? Uncle, I hope you can attend the family dinner. May you be healthy always, uncle will be waiting for you. So come and see your uncle."

from: Uncle Ed

What an incredible coincidence 'it looks like tomorrow is going to be a tiring day' Elieon thought. Eddie D Loyard was Elieon's uncle, his father's adoptive brother and the only family to have accompanied him as a child.

Elieon looked at the wall clock, time showing at 9:00 pm. Elieon tidied up the room and prepared for a break because tomorrow there was a lot he was going to do, he felt maybe not enough a day. Elieon plans to meet Kay first just continue the journey with Eren, then continue to go to his parents' house.

It could be that Elieon will arrive a little late to meet his parents. Eddie, his uncle, reports that his mother and new family will also be present. Elieon broke down and thought for a moment about his mother, Clarina Enderson.

Clarina's marriage was not long established, not even 2 years old. But Elieon had also previously gotten word that Clarina already had one son from the man she was with now. About a year old, Elieon thought it meant the boy was also his sister.

Her father did not think of remarrying and chose to raise Elieon. It's just that his father often plays with pub women to vent his stress. His mother found a new family, and his father had a messy nightlife. But for Elieon his father is better, because all this time the one who meets the needs and asks the news is only his father.

Her mother had only called 2 times since she left the little Elieon. The first one a week after he left, the second one when he had a wedding. Elieon was not present at the wedding.

Elieon misses his mother for a dozen years, but she doesn't care at all and never looks for him or is curious about his life. Appears again when finding another man for his own happiness, and it makes Elieon fed up.

Elieon could not imagine what tomorrow would be like, what kind of face he had to wear when he met Clarina. Sad, haru, happy or even the sour look that he had to let out. What her mother's face looks like now, growing beautiful or starting to age.

Clarina was married to Jein when they were young and had Elieon, perhaps the thought of her youth was also the cause of her father and mother's divorce. Mental condition and thinking that is not fully ready, but choose to get married which in turn tortures his own son with divorce.

If only Elieon could hope not to meet her mother at her father's birthday party. It felt impossible, because as usual when someone celebrates the birthday the family will sit together at the dinner table including his mother.

Despite her divorce, Clarina had to attend and sit at the dinner table because she had a blood relationship with Elieon. Even if Clarina had a new family, tradition remained tradition. The Loyard family does have a strong family tradition.

In the silence and in his mind Elieon fell asleep. Elieon hoped that tomorrow he could strengthen his heart. Elieon really just wishes it were.

"He who once promised to remain on the side, finally left without permission."
