THE OWEN HEART BEAT

OWEN-39

Almost midnight. It is not the right time to go back to the apartment. Ought to. Because it's too quiet for a girl to cross the city at this hour.

Any bad possibility could happen. They live in our metropolitan. And there are a lot of crimes that happen even though the city tends to be crowded. But Mia's still back. Because he remembered his promise to Owen.

I'll wait for you in the apartment. Words that Mia could not ignore just like that.

Although Mia was well aware that Owen must have fallen asleep. Who would stay up late and wait for him all night.

Moreover, her lover was a pretty busy person. But at least tomorrow morning they can meet. It's a little treat Mia's guilt. Tomorrow morning he will apologize for not being able to go home on time.

Mia was also too tired to just make small talk. All he wanted right now was to go home and sleep. Or maybe a little bit of a bedtime cake.

If only Elston hadn't held her off for longer, maybe Mia could have returned at exactly nine p.m. But how else, Elston is the boss. And Mia could not do as she pleased. Except that guy. Really a sly guy.

Thinking about how Elston these days has really made Mia confused. A complicated relationship is happening to them. Mia can't just ignore everything.

Because clearly Mia also felt that something had changed on the relationship written clearly on paper. Between the boss and the men.

Sometimes Mia feels that Elston is not the Elston she knows. The man confused himself. Not just his attitude. But also his treatment.

Sometimes Elston's acting stupid. Sometimes I can't guess either. But there are plenty of occasions where Mia can see Elston like most men; has a sensitive, slightly fragile side with an unconquerable ego. Really makes you dizzy.

Mia had already climbed the stairs of her apartment when she heard a faint sound coming from the same floor as her building. Maybe it was another neighbor.

Because of course the area is more inhabited by adults with work or life far above Mia.

Those who have a harder job than themselves. At least that was what Mia thought before she became closer to the source of the sound.

But the closer Mia gets to the voice, the more confident Mia feels that it is a familiar voice. Not like a conversation. But more about the little debate between lovers. And Mia was sure she knew the voice well.

"Ehm. Sorry to interrupt." Mia interrupted both. Because there's no way he's gonna be standing there last night, is he? upon realizing Mia's presence Dan Owen's eyes were immediately fixated on her. A little surprised and also feels foreign.

"Your voices are a bit like that. Youknow. It's late too. I'm afraid.." Mia observed the expressions of the two. "Excuse me." Mia shouldn't have interfered. Whatever is happening right now between the two Mia just needs to wait.

Waiting for Owen to explain to her. If Owen thinks he should do that. And if indeed he appreciates Mia's feelings as a lover.

Mia almost went past the two when Vivian's voice suddenly fell on her; "You" she said, making Mia instantly know who Vivian was referring to.

"Have we not met before." Mia remembered that. In front of apartments, on campus and also at parties. Mia remembers everything.

"I think so."

"You're the Afrodite" said Vivian again. Apparently that's what Vivian remembers most from the figure of Mia. Thankfully, it is not an embarrassing figure.

"What?" Now it was Owen's turn to look surprised. "We met at the party. He and his girlfriend in costume,"

"My boss." Sela Mia recalled that Elston was not the lover Vivian had said he was. "yeah. They're right there. And we met. Just say hello to each other for a minute."

I don't know why Mia was relieved. Perhaps he was grateful that there was no misunderstanding that could occur between him and Owen that came from the information Vivian had just mentioned.

Although Mia hoped so, Mia also did not know how Owen's true thoughts were.

"Please go back to your apartment Mia. You must be tired. Good night." words that Mia never thought would come out of Owen's mouth.

Disappointed mia. Sure oes. He felt that Owen still did not want to acknowledge their relationship in the presence of others; especially in front of Vivian. Or should their relationship be unknown to others.

"alright. Sorry interjected. Good night." Mia could not ignore the regretful look that was seen from Owen's eyes. But Mia also did not want to file a protest. Because this is not the right time.

...Really sucks!...
