The Gray Autumn's

Amant De Retour's

"Leon? Why did you call me again?" Autumn got up and sat down.

"That's not what I want to hear, Elle. Tell me who Mr. Royce you mentioned!" insist Leon. His tone sounded probing and suspicious.

"Whoever Mr. Royce, it's none of your business!"

"Of course it's my business, Elle! You are still my beloved, and you speak so affectionately to other men. Oh, that's great!" grunts Leon upset.

"Why should you be angry? I already assumed our relationship was over when you disappeared without any news and ignored me at will!" the Autumn snort was carried away by emotions.

"I explained it to you yesterday" Leon defended himself.

"You think that reason is enough? Stop, Leon! I'm tired and so sick of you!" Autumn just hung up the phone. He also threw his phone on the bed in annoyance while snorting in annoyance. The call from Leon had made the beautiful flowers that were blooming in Autumn's heart instantly wither. The girl's cheerful face was nowhere to be seen anymore and changed into a sour look.

Autumn then looked at his watch. It was already over ten o'clock in the night, and he had to go to sleep immediately. He doesn't want to wake himself up. Autumn immediately changed clothes and cleaned her face. The girl continued to notice herself in the mirror reflection of the sink while brushing her teeth.

'You're so beautiful and so sweet' those words kept ringing in Autumn's ears, making her draw her face closer to the mirror. He observed every detail of her beautiful face carefully.

......................

After breakfast, Autumn prepares to leave for the office. While Darren with his favorite skateboard board. The young man went to college. Darren looks very excited. That's something unusual, because the young man with a slightly shaggy hair always looks lazy every time there is a lecture schedule.

"Good morning, Darry," said Arumi, looking at the attitude of her youngest son.

"Tumben once you look so excited. Don't tell me if you get a new 'slide board'" Autumn quipped. He called the word skateboard as a substitute for the word girlfriend for the sister.

"You should've always been like that, Darren. I wish you'd done your hair too" Edgar chimed in and opened the paper and started reading. While Darren looks not to take a headache with all the words that enter him. The young man was so indifferent, both from his attitude and appearance.

"Dad. If I graduate later, can I ask for a gift?" Darren's closing in on Edgar. He put down the skateboard he had been holding since.

"What gift?" edgar asked, glancing for a moment at the young man.

"Let's think about it, but I want you to promise to grant it" Darren replied calmly.

"Oh, can't be," Edgar immediately refused. "Tell me first what you want, then I will decide whether your request is worth granting or not" he explained.

"If this is related to something called freedom of expression, how?" ask Darren again a little hope.

"It's noon. You better get going, Elle. You too, Darry. I don't want to hear your friends screaming in front of the house" Arumi said in her motherly style.

"Your friends are as unsettling as you are, Dik," led Autumn as she patted her sister's shoulder.

"You don't have a mirror in your room, Elle?" reply Darren did not want to lose with the led by his brother, making Autumn laugh slowly when responding to him. The two of them then say goodbye to their parents and leave.

Autumn is twenty-two years old. However, Edgar had not allowed him to bring his own car. While Autumn does not like if he has to go with a driver. As a result, the girl prefers to go without the luxury car facilities of the father. While Darren, the young man was very fond of skateboarding. He always carries it everywhere, just like his other friends. A group of young men who are still looking for identity.

"I go first, Elle," Darren passed by with some of his friends. While Autumn was still standing on the sidewalk and waiting for a taxi. The girl was fixated with the look of her face that looked bright and radiant. His shadow had arrived at the time after work, where he would meet and have dinner with Benjamin. However, Autumn's radiant look suddenly faded when a man stood next to her. "Hi, Elle," said the man calmly.

Autumn jerked. He immediately looked. His pair of gray eyes were perfectly wide. "You? How are you here?" tanyanya seemed to dislike the presence of a man who was none other than Leon.

Leon smiled calmly. He did not answer directly. The man pulled his hair back. He also breathed slowly. "You don't like me here?" Leon asked back.

"Aren't you in Mexico?" Autumn scrunched her forehead.

"I came back about two days ago. I thought you'd welcome me with great joy" the brunette said disappointedly. "Where are you going this early in the morning?" his daring question saw the appearance of Autumn who was neat. "Are you going on a date with Mr. Royce so early?" syndicate Leon.

"Don't say much! Whatever I do it's none of your business!" sergeant Autumn. He intends to go from there. Autumn does not care even though she has not gotten a taxi, the important thing is that she can avoid her lost lover.

"Elle, wait!" Leon grabs Autumn's wrist and makes the girl stop her steps. "I want to talk to you for a minute" he asked.

"I don't want to!" reject Autumn firmly.

"Why? You are still my beloved, and I have the right to call your attention!" reply Leon with a fairly firm tone of speech.

"Whatever! One thing's for sure, I already assumed our relationship was over when you disappeared with no news at all. I don't need someone as selfish as you!" turn down Autumn again.

"You don't need me anymore because you've got a replacement, you know?"

"I told you it's none of your business!" sergeant Autumn again with no less firm. He attempted to remove Leon's grip from his wrist. Fortunately, because the atmosphere around the streets was not too crowded, so their quarrel was not too inviting the attention of many people.

Leon does not also let go of Autumn's hand, even though the girl continues to reject him. "Be nice, Elle. I will definitely let go of your hand" Leon said slowly. Autumn is still in conflict.

"Take the girl off, man!"
