The Youth Life Maze

Chill Day with Elina

After the long exam ended, I've returned to making novels. After roughly a week of exams ended, I had already completed at least 3 chapters, that was a decent amount.

Right now, I'm with Elina in the public library. The library is the best place to find peace.

We talked about the novels we made, while reading some of the novels that have been famous in the World.

"Well.. This novel you made has a theme and a pretty good character in my opinion," Elina gave her opinion about my novel.

"You think so? I'm happy for the compliment, let alone it's a compliment from you." I replied.

Elina seemed to be blushing a little, "Well, why would that compliment come from my mouth?"

"Hm.. Well, you see, I'm glad that it turns out that my novel is well-praised with people who make it better than mine." I'm smiling a little.

"O-Ohh, that's it."

"Btw, you know why aren't you here with Aithan?" much

Elina put her head to the table and looked at me, "It's better that there's no Aithan know, there's nothing to disturb."

"That's so. Yes, you may be right" I replied.

"How can you think of a World War novel? Where did the idea come from?" ask Elina

"Hmmm... Why, because I just want to use that theme?"

"Haha, I'm confused anyway," Elina chuckled.

"Yes.. Well, because I think making a novel with this theme will be interesting," I replied

"That's it, but yeah, it's interesting what theme you took to make this novel."

"Is that so?"

"Well, can you get an idea for the title?"

"Ab-Ahh.. Title well, I'm still not thinking at all about it," I still haven't got any idea at all for the title.

"Bahh.. Though the story is very interesting and good, do you need any advice from me?" ask Elina

"Yes.. If you don't mind, give me some advice."

"Hmmm... What if, 'The Adventure In Time Of War', what do you think? It's pretty much the same story, MC's on an adventure in the middle of a war."

"Hm.. May also be the title, maybe I use advice from you, well," I said.

"Yes, if you feel like it or good, use my title advice" Elina smiled slightly.

"Yes, I'm glad you accepted my invitation to this library."

"Yes, I'm also glad you didn't come here, I don't have any work at home anyway, so I better come with you to this library, and talk about novels" Elina said.

"So well, I'm also glad there's someone other than Aithan I can talk to on the same topic, too" I said

"Yeah.. I'm more or less the same as you."

"Btw, where do you live? Aithan said you're not Yogyakarta?" much

"Yep, I'm a Jakarta person" replied Elina.

"Ohh... So, you live in Yogyakarta, in Aithan's house?"

"Well, that's how it is, since the student writing competition was held in this city, I stayed temporarily at Aithan's house, at least until the announcement of the winner" Elina replied.

"That's so. Are you done with your exams?"

"Already dong, I tested faster than other Schools," said Elina.

"Ohh.."

Suddenly the atmosphere became quiet, Elina was reading a novel, I was thinking about the continuation of the novel I made.

I got the initiative to take Elina to the cafe, "Mau... To the cafe?"

Elina looked at me and nodded, "Come, come on."

I took Elina to a nearby cafe.

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

Elina and I arrived at the cafe near the library, the cafe was not so crowded, making me feel better. Because, this cafe has some kind of private room.

I also ordered 1 private room for me and Elina.

"Waaah... It turns out you know a cafe that has a private room like this, I like, not many people can disturb our calm because."

Elina nodded in agreement, "Hmmnhmm.. I also like places that have vibes like this."

"In addition to its calming place, food and drinks in this place are also delicious in my opinion," said I.

I looked through the menu, ordered a cappucino, and 1 soft cheese cake, while Elina ordered pancakes, and chocolate milkshakes.

While waiting for the order to come, Elina and I talked about a lot of things, "Where are you going to go to school?" ask Elina.

"Hm... I was planning on continuing to Saibou Inter High School" I replied

"Bah... I also want to go to that school, a school that is very suitable for me," Elina looks a little excited, even though her expression looks flat.

"Yes, I will apply there if allowed by my parents as well anyway, so I'm not sure I will continue to Saibou yet" I said.

"So well, it's a pity that you who have this talent can not be developed properly," said Elina casually

"Yes, you're right, I'll try my best to convince both of my parents."

Elina nodded, "Hmm, that's the spirit."

"Yes I will fight as hard as I can to get permission from both my parents" I said with a bit of excitement.

Before long, our order came, I took my share, and ate it with my stomach a little hungry.

I also talked about many things about the novel with Elina while eating, Elina also seemed to enjoy eating it.

"So, what do you think of the food and drink here?" much

"Hm.. Well, overall, I like it," replied Elina.

"Thank God you like it" I said

"Btw, do you have a boyfriend?" elina asked with ease.

I was surprised and a little choked on my soft cake hearing that question from Elina.

Seeing my choking self, Elina took the initiative to take my drink, "You're gapapa??" elina asked worriedly.

"Uhukis.. Uhukk, I'm gapapa, uhh, thanks," I replied.

"Ohh... Thank goodness," Elina was relieved.

"Yes... You, why do I have a boyfriend or not?" manya curious.

"Emmm... I'm just curious, hehe.. Can't you?" the answer.

"Uhh.. Not really, I guess you want what I want about it,"

"I don't have a boyfriend, I've never dated in my entire life, because I thought dating would only make you stupid" I continued

"mmm.. I see, I agree anyway, if dating will only make yourself stupid, because you will be blinded by love that is uncertain."

"Again, many people, mostly teenagers, think that dating is the pinnacle of happiness, but there are still more things that can make you happy."

"Yep, you're right," Elina seemed to want to ask you something again,

"You, if you have the same feelings as someone how? Want to feel like that?"

It seems to be the question, "Hmm, if I feel like I love her so much, maybe I'll reveal it and as soon as I apply," this is my realistic answer.

Given that I always fall in love with the wrong woman, maybe when I feel the feeling of falling in love again, it will probably be my feeling of falling in love for the last time.

"So yahh.. You are a really serious person well," said Elina

"Of course, I'm always serious about anything, if it's only half-and-half, it's not going to work."

"Fufufu, I'm glad to know you Alvaro."

"So well, yes I'm also happy to get to know you, you're easy to talk to, because we have the same likes."

Elina smiled, and we talked again.

Then, I saw the clock, it turned out it was late afternoon, Elina and I decided to go home, and pay for everything we ordered,

"It turns out everything is not as expensive as I thought well," said Elina.

"Yes, that's why I love this place" I said.

I parted ways with Elina, remembering our different way home. I waved my hand, then parted.

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

When I got home, I took a shower, and then I tried to continue my novel. I even skipped dinner, and finished at 10:12, but, 1 chapter was not finished that night, after which I decided to go to bed and continue writing tomorrow.
