The Wedding With My Lecturer

Section 60_Disappeared

Elio sighed slowly when he felt his breathing was too tight. His eyes stared at the pool in front of him. Since Eiren's departure, Elio has not returned to the apartment at all. He chose to go home and occasionally return to his parents' house. It was too painful to notice so many memories in the apartment.

“Eiren, when are you going to hide from me? I'm sure you're alive,” muttered Elio as he placed his head on the back of the chair. His heart said so, although in fact Roby did not also get news about Eiren.

Elio was about to get off the sofa when a knocking sound rang out. He stopped his movements and looked towards the door, waiting for who would enter later. However, a sigh of fatigue rang out as his eyes looked at Rega who had entered into his room.

“What's up, Rega?” asked Elio with a flat face. He had also not seen Rega for a long time and had chosen to dodge.

“I want to talk to you, Elio,” replied Rega with a serious face.

Elio sighed and got up. He started to step closer to Rega who had already entered into his room and stared intently.

“Say,” Elio said with a cold tone and a hand that was stuffed into his pants pocket.

“This is about Firda. Are you really not in love with her?” ask Rega with a face that is no less serious.

“Did I not affirm you about my feelings, Rega? I really don't have any feelings with him,” obviously Elio was upset. Every time I talk to the woman in front of him, it's always about Firda's problems.

“Why?” Rega squinted and asked Elio. He is also curious about the reason Elio does not love Firda.

“Because I haven't had feelings since she was with another man. He hid everything from me.”

“He tried to protect your relationship with your papa, Elio,” firmly Rega with sharpened eyes.

“Whatever it is I don't want to know. Now, things have changed and I really can't love Firda back. I hope you understand that, Rega. I don't want to talk about Firda coming back,” said Elio with fatigue.

Rega sighed slowly. “Good. I think you've been blind to Eiren, even until he's not here anymore. I hope you won't regret leaving Firda for someone who doesn't know where.”

Elio who heard was silent with his face still flat. He did not care at all about his brother's words. His mind was still full of Eiren's whereabouts and would not add any more trouble.

Rega patted Elio's shoulder gently, making the man's attention switch. “I hope you find your happiness, Elio. If you love him, find him. If your heart is sure that it is alive, it will lead you to find it,” said Rega who resigned.

Elio just nodded lightly and looked towards Rega. His brother came out of the room and closed the door. “Where else should I look for you, Eiren,” murmured Elio while massaging his temples slowly. He felt like he wanted to resign in search of Eiren. However, once again his heart seemed to push for him to look for the figure of the girl.

Anita steps out of the house with Rifa. His feet began to step down the path and headed towards the small town in the area. In fact, this was also the first time for Anita to live in a small town that rarely inhabited. There was no crowd and he was grateful for that.

“This is my shop,” said Rifa with a cheerful face.

Anita stared at the small shop she was working in today. After the entrance opened, Anita immediately stepped in and started helping Rifa open the shop. Starting from him who brings flowers out and to clean up the messy inside. His sweat was pouring so hard. However, all was not felt because he was so enjoying his time. Anita is happy.

“You like?” tanyabRifa when she saw Anita's face adorned with a smile.

Anita looked towards Rifa and sighed slowly. “This is my first time working, Rifa. I liked. Here I feel much more free,” Anita replied excitedly.

“Thank God, I guess you'll find it hard to fit in my shop because of the minimal space. But, I like it because you do not feel uncomfortable at all,” said Rifa who was again busy laying flowers and cutting the withered part, spraying it with a little water to get back fresh.

Anita nodded and pulled one of the chairs that were deliberately placed in front of the store with a small gazebo as a shelter. “You planted this flower yourself, Rifa?” anita asked with her eyes fixed.

Rifa nodded slowly and sat down. “I did plant it myself, Anita. But, I feel my flowers are still losing away from the store across there,” chirped Rifa with a grim face.

Anita who heard gazing followed Rifa's gaze and observed. There is also a place to rest. Lots of fresh flowers in the store. However, when his eyes looked towards the Rifa store, he only saw an old shop with flowers that were not all fresh.

“I think your problem is not only in your store, Rifa, but also in your flower section,” said Anita who immediately got up and looked at the front of the Rifa store.

“I think you should start repairing your store. At least you give paint that attracts customers. In addition, you better arrange flowers with striking colors on the outside. At least it will make customers become interested,” explained Anita who is still observing the Rifa store.

“What if it is done will work?” rifa asked unsure. Because, buying paint and repairing stores require a lot of money. As for the daily needs, he is already grateful enough to be fulfilled.

“I also don't know if I don't try it, Rifa,” Anita replied casually.

Rifa who was next to him gave a smile and nodded. “Good. We'll try to fix it tonight. At least tomorrow morning I can still open my shop.”

Anita nodded in agreement and smiled. His eyes were still focused on looking at Rifa's shop and began to dream of giving a small touch in the store. Until finally Rifa came in to clean up the shop.

“Sorry, I want to look for lilies. Is there?” ask someone behind Anita.

Anita who heard sighed and immediately turned around with a smiling face. “There is one I can tire...” Anita stopped her words when she felt her eyes staring at the man she knew.

Venda who saw Anita was silent with a frown was astonished. “Eiren,” call Venda with eyes of disbelief. He didn't even blink at all.

“Anita, there is a customer,” chirped Rifa when she joined the two.

Anita who was conscious started to normalize her face and looked at Venda casually. “Let's come with me, Sir. I will show you the type of lilies in our store,” said Anita politely.

Anita's? Venda frowned in surprise and chose to follow the girl named Anita. Her eyes were still watching Anita who was completely similar to Eiren, the girl who had been missing for two weeks from her life and the entire family.

“Thank you and welcome back,” said Anita while handing over flowers purchased by Venda.

Venda received it with eyes staring at the clingy Anita. He was still convinced that the girl before him was Eiren. However, looking at the cheerful and carefree face made Venda slightly doubtful.

“Wait a minute,” prevent Venda typeabAnita will enter the store.

“There can I help you with, Mister?” anita asked with a smile that was still expanding. He ignored the gaze researching Venda which made him uneasy.

“What we have met before?” Venda stared at Anita with a sharp look. He was often in the area, but never saw the girl before him.

“I don't think so. He is new here,” said Rifa who was well dressed with a small bag carried. He looked at Anita with a smile.

“I drop off shop for a second. I'm going out. There is business,” said Rifa and immediately got the nod.

Anita stared at Rifa's departure and was about to go back in. However, a hand stopped the scarcity. Anita stared at Vneda with a sharp look.

“Least. Don't be insolent, Sir,” hiss Anita with a stern face.

“Anita. Since when did an Eiren change its name to Anita?” ask Venda with a flat face.

Anita releases Venda's hand. “Eiren, Eiren, Eiren. I don't even know him and you always say that. Since coming you always mention by name Eiren and I feel sick of it.”

“You don't know him?” repeat Venda in a mocking tone. He immediately straightened up and looked at Anita with a sharp look. “Will I introduce who Eiren is. Eiren is a foolish girl who loves someone named Elio. He with his brain chose to disappear by ending his life rather than getting his love. In fact, he foolishly..”.

“Stop, Lace!” anita snapped with eyes staring full of anger. “Iya, I'm Eiren. I used to be Eiren, but since the accident, Eiren is dead along with his memories,”.
