THE OWEN HEART BEAT

OWEN-70

...❄️...

...❄️...

With an agitated feeling and also an unceasing chest pounding, Elston continued to ponder back and forth in the living room to calm himself down a little.

And it happened an hour ago. Since the last time Mia contacted him and said that the girl would soon enter the courtroom. From then on, Elston's heart was always pounding erratically.

There was a feeling of worry mixed with so much anxiety when thinking about what Mia would be facing right now.

While Bones was secretly watching Elston who showed his feelings so clearly. The middle-aged man did not comment much when he saw what his young master was up to. Because to him, this was a rare sight.

An Elston who is usually cold, looks stupid and also does not like to be involved with other people's affairs, is actually being made to worry for a long time just because he thinks of a girl.

"Would I get you a snack or maybe a drink, sir?" bargain Bones who saw Elston unceasingly showed a riled face. I hope Elston can ease the tension in him a little bit.

But strangely, hearing Bones Elston's offer gave the look of a helpless father when worried about his little daughter. Either the man realized it or not. "Ah.. No need Bones." replied Elston, shaking his head. "I can't eat or drink right now."

...It was like a father worrying about his little daughter. Bones nodded....

"Miss Mia will definitely be fine sir." Bones said he hoped his calmness could slightly reduce the ongoing tension.

"I'm sure so too. But still I can't calm down if I haven't heard it in person" Elston said. "Again why also the exam hours should be afternoon. I am so sorry, Mia. He must be afraid to face everything alone. I should have been there."

Bones only nodded in agreement to Elston's opinion. Because they can't do anything about it.

The eight-hour time difference between LA and London further frustrated Elston.

"We'll wait, sir. Hopefully, Miss Mia can solve everything well." It was a small word of comfort as well as a heartfelt prayer from a middle-aged man who also began to be carried away by the current of tension from seeing the anxiety of his master.

"Of course Bones. That thing is certain. Don't doubt my little Aprhodite." continued Elston slightly disagreed with the words that Bones wished to say.

Seeing the look on Elston's face that had turned irritated, Bones hurriedly explained the intent of his words. "I don't doubt Miss Mia at all sir. I just pray for her."

Bones knew Elston very well, despite being born in modern times, but the young man's mind was a little stale and stiffer than it should have been. Plus, his master was very sensitive when it came to things he considered important.

"Ah.." the face that had been criticizing was now spontaneously softened. Elston misunderstands what Bones means. "I know what you mean, I'm sorry." It's really a rare thing.

"Come Aprhodite. Why so long.." lamented Elston again, staring anxiously at his advanced cell phone.

Elston felt his heart would jump out immediately as it continued to be alarmed and pounding like this.

He himself was confused with himself. Mia is doing the test but why is she the one who was made restless.

It felt like he wanted to be there to make sure everything was in person. Elston also wants to be the first to hug Mia and congratulate the girl after she finishes her trial. He really wanted to do that.

...If this continues any longer I will be even more frustrated....

Thinking of something, Elston stopped the pacing activity he had been doing since then, then rushed up the stairs. "Master, you,-"

"Prepare everything Bones, I'll fly to LA tonight as well" Elston said. It was a new idea that he got because he could not think of anything else.

"That can't be sir." Prevent Bones. And again Elston's face showed dislike. "Why can't Bones?" asked Elston who was now starting to get annoyed.

In a calm voice, Bones began to explain everything slowly to Elston. "You have an important meeting tomorrow morning sir. And a flight to LA would take quite a while."

One thing Bones had to remind her that her master was not being rash. "If you leave now, you won't be back in time even if you go with your private Jet master."

...Uh. Damnit....

Elston should have known about it. But how else, he did not find another way out that allows to feel better.

In the end Elston could only sigh heavily. The words that Bones spoke were indeed true. And this is a very upsetting situation.

He really couldn't do anything to ascertain how his Aprhodite girl was doing. Though he had promised to exist in any situation, but this time he was made helpless.

"We'd better wait, sir, maybe soon Miss Mia will tell you.." Elston expected the same. But still he can't calm down.

"Yes. Alright." Elston could only obey Bones' words. Afterwards, Elston continued his steps and chose to return to his room. Not to get ready. But back to waiting.

...❄️❄️...

"Congratulations Miss Mia Allura. You are declared a pass." One of the examiners gave a final decision amidst the anxiety and nervousness that began to intimidate Mia.

And the word Pass is the words that he had been waiting for with his heart pounding. He was finally able to breathe with relief. "Thank you Prof. Nixel." said Mia with a happy face.

One more important task in his life has been completed well. And the next thing he will do is step up to a higher level.

At a time like this, all that came to Mia's mind was Elston. He wanted to share his happiness with the man.

The man who has always been an encouragement and also a counterweight in Mia. In addition, he moved to LA Elston who was the only person who played an important role in Mia's life. And what he achieved at this time, is none other than hard work and also the support of Elston.

"Finally. Thanks Els. Thank you for being with me all this time."
