The Father Who Never Aged

Saying the Heart's Content

Now Evan sits on the couch with Rose, accompanied by a glass of milk and toast. Actually Evan was going to talk to her about something.

There are so many strange questions in Evan's heart, when he meets Rose again. After a long time they were both separated by distance and time.

Now Rose comes back to see Evan, making him not think what really happened.

For Evan the arrival of Rose was a coincidence just like before.

So they only have a relationship of friends who know each other. Even they do not know far from each other, it was because accidentally fate that has brought them together.

But unlike Rose, she has a friend who attends Oregami High School. So that he can get to know Evan further, through information from his friend.

Rose even occasionally stole a glance, as she was about to drink milk. The only thing to do was to look at Evan.

Instantly the atmosphere became silent, while Evan was still drifting in his daydream.

"Huh...?" Rose looked at Evan blankly, as if curious as to what Evan was thinking.

Evan who had just regained consciousness gasped, to the shock of seeing Rose who had just looked at him.

In his heart Evan said.

"Because I was nervous, I didn't notice."

Evan changed his sitting position, looking his palms into one.

"Rose I want to ask you, about the purpose of your arrival.hmm before I apologize for my question," said Evan who directly to the point with his heart.

"....uh, actually, I want to tell you something Evan. something I've been waiting for!" rose replied somewhat embarrassed to reveal it.

"Wait!, something that he craved.The words are like the contents of a letter I found, what not-don't.." said Evan in his heart.

"You're different from Evan's other guys, your attitude and actions and hospitality are very different.When I'm around you I always feel that way, there's a sense of comfort when I'm around you."

"Therefore, Evan.would you date me?"

Evan's eyes widened to see more clearly Rose's gaze after.

"What a joke is, he obviously told me to be his girlfriend" Evan said in his disbelieving heart.

After Evan says it repeatedly to Rose in disbelief.

What a surprise, very unexpected night. Evan even remembered if this was the first time.

Rose approached Evan she put on a face full of hope. Evan is still silent with a thousand languages.

"Ehem, look, I did have you but..."

Evan's answer was suddenly cut off, when his ears heard the sound of a song.

The voice came from Rose's smartphone because of an incoming call.

"Huh..hello?"

"It's me Rose, haven't you come home from there yet?" Rose's mother asked her son back because of worry.

"Oh, I'm Ma!"

"Yes, you just take a break and do not play a lot of mobile phones. I'm not coming home tonight because I'm busy!"

"Yes ma.., Rose knows the spirit mama there."

"Yes-yes dear thank you. hmm, mama closed first yes because there is...?"

Tut....

Mother Rose just closed it.

Rose's eyes were watery even if only a little, she also stole time for her to wipe away the tears. So Evan doesn't see it.

"So the phone from Mom!"

"Yes, hm gini Rose. Not that I am not interested in you, but. I have a principle, that is, I will not date before marriage!"

"I really mean my principles."

Flashback Rose a few years ago

Rose used to have a complete family like a family in general. Both parents are very harmonious in love with each other, until there are neighbors who are jealous to see their harmony in the morning. When Rose's father was about to leave for work.

But all that seemed to disappear like a wood that was eaten by fire, only for a moment. Rose was devastated when she heard her parents were going their separate ways. At that moment Rose was crying.

He didn't know what to do and was confused. Finally inevitably Rose must live with his mother.

"Are you okay?" evan said he saw Rose dumbstruck.

"Come, what a gap!" rose's voice sounded soft.

From Rose's explanation, he confessed that he was in need of a friend to confide in. But his feelings for Evan are facts not just words.

Rose turned out to work as an accountant at this star hotel. And made Evan unexpected.

"But, it's not that you're still in school Rose. The accountant is a job..."

"I'm dropping out of school!" he said with a lethargic look.

"How can you?"

***

In the workspace where Sein works. Now Sein switched professions from what we can call as a bodyguard, to being in charge of certain parts of the Company.

Sein worked for a long time until this week.

In between he read the procedure, there was a message notification sound that sounded from the direction of Sein's phone.

Sein immediately picked up the phone beside him, and read the contents of the message.

A threat and criticism and information that is coercive. From the sender.

More like someone was scapegoating Evan.

The sender insisted that he meet with Evan immediately. Even he gave quite an extreme time, which is tomorrow.

At first Sein was a bit in disbelief but for a moment another message appeared and discussed details about Evan. Sein finally believes that the sender is not kidding in sending messages.

*****

Tonight Evan sleeps with Rose, as Rose has already vented her heart to Evan and is crying.

Makes Evan inevitably have to win it.

In one of the bedrooms, Evan sleeps in the same bed as Rose. It was dark in the room because the lights were turned off. Evan was there still awake, while Rose seemed to have slept in Evan's warm embrace.

In his heart Evan said.

"I shouldn't have done this, but.., this was all for Rose's sake she was crying out all the emotions and feelings in her heart. I really didn't expect, if Rose's life could be that dark."

"Rose's arms are so warm and she's so fragrant, I can't believe I'm going to sleep with a woman for the second time."

"Mmm.mmm." Rose hugged Evan even tighter than before.

Actually Evan was eager to refuse a hug from Rose and was about to let go. But he realized that now was the wrong time.

Evan is back in his heart.

"He's so close!, so close, I can hear Rose's heartbeat."

"His breathing.., his chest.his body was also very close."

"It's impossible to survive, in this situation!"

Evan also tried to stay calm, and fight all his bad thoughts that sprung up in his mind.
