As the sun set, Daru and Emilia looked at the beauty of the incident at the top of the bell tower. Daru's eyes were pampered, his heart felt calm, and subconsciously, a smile was etched on his face.
Meanwhile, Emilia did not take a second to take her eyes off the face of Daru, the face of the man she loved, who was now bathed in orange light from the sinking sun, adding to the beauty of the figure.
I am truly in love, thought Emilia who kept looking at Daru's face.
The sun was completely sunk, lights began to light up in every building in the city.
"Daru" said Emilia. Even though there was no more sunlight shining down on Daru's face, Emilia still couldn't take her eyes off, as if her eye and neck muscles were saying, "This is it."
"Yes?" reply Daru while turning his gaze towards Emilia.
The eyes of the two of them met, making Emilia even more flying high.
"Anu, I-I ...." Emilia was unable to continue her words.
"You ... what?" ask Daru confused.
Emilia gave up and shook her head as she said, "Forget it, hihi."
Instead, Daru grew curious and brought his face closer together while asking, "What's wrong?"
Emilia's face became as red as a tomato when Daru brought her face closer, she really could not anticipate Daru's reaction. In a slight hurry, Emilia said, "Thank you for the date, I love you."
Deg
Daru's heart seemed to stop because he just realized he had made a big mistake. His expression worsened, his gaze was blank, and his breathing also described someone who was panicking.
Your dark lover asked you out on a date. Damnit damnit! Frey! said Daru in heart.
Daru only realized he had received a "Date" invitation from Emilia, although he did not consider it so. He also realized that Emilia had not yet learned about the misunderstanding between Daru and Frey that had been resolved. Many things were only realized by Daru simultaneously, but what he was thinking about the most at the moment was the heartache Frey was experiencing now.
"Emilia, I ...." Daru was confused on how to explain it. She does not want to hurt the little heart of Emilia, the little heart of the woman who is her best friend, who has just expressed love by telling her about her relationship with Frey.
"Sorry if it's sudden, I-I hope to enjoy life with you" Emilia said before peeping Daru's cheek and running away in embarrassment, leaving Daru, still in his confusion, alone.
"What should I do?" murmured Daru with his panicked expression. Without waiting for any more time, Daru activated his stealth magic and ran towards the teleportation portal at full speed.
After arriving at Sarren Hill, Daru immediately entered the shop, not caring about the loud noise of the temperature detector that caused Rena to be alert because the device sounded without any figure passing through the door. Daru does not press him and heads to the upper second floor to look for Frey because he does not find him behind the counter.
When he does not find Frey's figure on the upper second floor, Daru rushes towards the lower first floor, a very likely place to find Frey. However, he was also not there, making Daru flustered.
Daru was about to meet one of his employees and ask about Frey's whereabouts, but since the store was still open and some customers were still inside, Daru could not do so.
He pulled out his smartphone and searched for Frey on Islagram.
The more Daru read Frey's posts, the more guilt he felt. He also knows Frey's whereabouts at this time. Without waiting any longer, Daru rushed towards the portal and went to Moon City with the stealth magic still active.
When Daru arrives in front of Frey's house located beside the teleportation portal, he immediately releases his stealth magic and knocks on Frey's door after making sure no one is around.
Tok to tok.
Moments after Daru knocked on the door, a voice struck Daru's eardrum.
Daru furrowed his brows as he felt quite unfamiliar with the sound.
Why is Uncle Eryd's voice this light? thought Daru.
Suddenly a handsome-looking man with blond hair opened the door, making Daru clearly see the man.
"Who are you looking for?" ask the man. The man looked at Daru with an unfamiliar look, as well as Daru who felt quite unfamiliar with the man.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Daru threw a question at him.
"Oh, my name is Chris, I'm here to accompany Frey. You're who?" said Chris.
There are two words that make Daru's anger peaked, namely "Chris" and "accompanion."
Daru clenched his hands tightly, hostile gazes emanated from his two eyes.
Why is this guy here? Accompanying Frey? Who do you think you are? said Daru in heart.
Daru desperately wanted to match his fist with Chris's face that looked confused. However, it all loosened up after Daru recalled about "Dating" with "Dark Love."
Daru feels guilty to Frey, so he can't make trouble with Chris right now.
"Where's Uncle Eryd?" asked Daru by trying to calm down.
"He went with Aunt Liliana. Tell me, who are you?" Chris begins to suspect Daru's identity.
They're both inside? L lost? thought Daru while clenching his hands back.
"Chris, who's knocking on the door?" Frey's voice sounded pretty loud from inside.
"I don't know" Chris replied as he continued to look at Daru.
"Tell me, who are you?" Chris grabbed the handle of the sword that was on his waist, trying to threaten Daru.
Daru was just silent, he was actually burning flames of jealousy. But once again he remembered the incident earlier this morning, making Daru desperate.
"Give Frey my regards" Daru said before disappearing with his magic.
Chris is confused by what Daru did, he takes off the handle of his sword and goes back inside Frey's house.
....
A few moments before.
Frey arrived at Moon City with a look of sadness, reminded of Daru dating a woman as beautiful as Emilia. Frey walks into his house and goes inside without saying anything, leaving Eryd and Liliana, Frey's parents, wondering about what happened. However, Frey remained silent when he was showered with questions from his parents, Eryd and Liliana were increasingly confused as to how.
Both of Frey's parents have heard the news about Daru's death, and they both conclude Frey's grief stems from it. Therefore, Eryd went to find Frey's adventurous friend to comfort Frey's feelings and ended up meeting Chris who happened to be in Moon City. Eryd asked Chris to comfort his grieving daughter.
Chris who heard it was immediately excited at that moment because he saw the opportunity to win the heart of Frey from the late Daru. Chris agrees and Eryd takes Liliana away from home to give Frey and Chris some privacy.
And so, the misunderstanding between Daru and Frey grew even more, making the two people feel an overwhelming sense of sadness.
