"Just promise me one thing… that you will never be sad again, okay?" He suddenly speak out of nowhere, I clearly heard what he just said but I just became deaf and tried to change the subject.
I don't want to hear such words from his mouth. I do not want it.
"If you will choose in the future, the kingdom or, your loved ones in life?" I change the subject. As we both lay on the grass and stared at the dark sky with full of tiny lights.
I heard him chuckle.
“What kind of question is that? Of course I will only choose one, ”he stopped first and I felt him turn his gaze to me. It's true that I also looked at his side so my gray eyes and his orange eyes met.
“Say it," He answered me with a small laugh again before he spoke.
"Of course, I will always choose the Kingdom." He said and immediately turned his attention back to the many stars posted in the sky. At the same time, the smile immidiately disappeared from my lips and I returned my attention go back to the night sky.
“I-Is that so?" I tried not to be silly in my speech. I could feel the pain sinking into the depths of my heart, along with the cold breeze of the wind and the sound of those banging branches of the trees.
I just frowned when I saw the very bright moonlight earlier as if it was mixed with red ink. I was immediately thrown back from my lying on the grass. Because I seem to know what's going on.
"L-Lary?" The nervousness in my chest doubled even more when I saw that no one is in here in my side. Where is he? I was looking for him all over the woods, but I found nothing.
Tears starting welled up in both my eyes as well my heartbeat getting faster and more faster. I held a large tree to balance my body.
“L-Lary! I-Is this a joke? I’m no longer glad about it!” I almost swelled the vein in my neck because I shouted his name. While looking through that dark wood, my eyes immediately landed on something glowing on the ground not far from where I was standing.
I immediately went there and I cried even more when I saw the same necklace I was wearing now. It’s from him… why? My hand trembled as I picked it up, at the same time the wind was blowing very cold and the passing of a very familiar voice in my ear.
"You can forget me too, Elona… please be well." It whispered softly in my ear so I immediately turned around to find him. It’s him!
“Lary!”
Elona's POV"Ahh!" I shouted while holding my own chest with my right hand due to nervousness. That dream again, just over and over again, my gosh. I washed my face with my own hand.I looked at my clock and was not surprised that it was exactly twelve o'clock in the morning when I woke up. I'm also used to it because it just happens to me over and over again.“Who is that Man? Why do I always dream of him? ” I seem to be asking myself a stupid question, which I myself can’t even answer.I was in the middle of my deep thoughts when suddenly the door of my room opened and the unpaintable face of Aunt Brenda was spit out.I thought she was already asleep?“Elona! It's getting early and you're making a lot of noise! Will you be quiet even just for once!? Or will I drive you away?! ” she angryly shout at me. I feel like she even spat her own saliva on my face.The room they gave me was small, I don't think it
Elona's POVI'm looking for something I can buy now, "Excuseme, how much is this?" at the same time I pointed there at the concentrated chicken meat."That's three hundred per kilos," my eyes immediately widened because it was so expensive. Seriously, is that a gold?"Maybe I'll buy it next time," I won't come back to you, your merchandise is so expensive!I was immediately stopped in my tracks by an old woman, who was about to stop in front of me. I immediately felt sorry for her because of her condition. Her clothes were torn and she obviously had no food because shes is holding her own stomach. Her teeth were as yellow as corn reason for me to immediately feel pity for her.Can I just give my full salary? There's still a lot to cook in the refrigerator at home, I also have a job tomorrow, so maybe it's okay.“Umm, grandma? Do you have a place to stay? You want... I have my money, take it with you.” I took her hand at onc
Elona's POVI looked at our house for the last time, "I'm sorry, Aunt Brenda, Lia, but I really can't stand your mistreatment of me anymore.” at once, I turned my back and walked away from there.‘Where will I be going now? I don’t know also...’The acrid just made me laugh. Maybe I'm a murderer in my past life, so I'm just so unlucky now.I just stopped suddenly in the middle of my deep thought, because of the excessive force of the wind hitting my face.I suddenly looked behind me as I felt as if someone was watching me.Trembling I approached the lawn where I could see something moving from there.“W-Who’s there? Is anyone in there? ” I said out of nervousness. While slowly looking if who is in there."Moew!""Oh, horse!" at the same time I hold my own chest. “It's just a cat, that cat's color is beautiful, who owns it? They’re too careless, ” but wait? I rea
Elona's POVI slowly opened my eyes and the very white ceiling immediately opened up to me, this is not my room. That's right, I left my aunt so… where am I?Am I dead? Is this what they call the afterlife?I suddenly clung to my head because it suddenly hurt and I slowly got up from my bed. I'm not dead yet.Why is my body so sore? I once held on to my leg. I winced when I suddenly realized the extreme pain that came from it.“But wait? Where am I?" I once wandered across this room. Based on its appearance, I was hospitalized. Wait? Why did they bring me here?I was about to leave my seat on the bed when suddenly my wound hurt even more.“Ouch!” I cried, “But where am I? It's impossible for him to take me out of the province just like that, ” because before you can go to the hospital in our province, you will have to wait a few more days, before a vehicle passes by to go to the city.I just
Elona's POV"Umm, can I ask a question?" I am ashamed to ask him. He still hasn't left since before, as if I'm talking to someone. He was very kind to me."Okay, just ask me, what is it?" he was just waiting for me to ask so I didn't go into detail and I asked him right away.“Do you know who brought me here? And also… I don't know anything about this University. ”“Ahh — is that so? Admin Kairo brought you here, “ he seemed to be forced to say those words, but I ignored it."Is that so, thank you so much for the help, and then… where can I find the Admin Kairo you're talking about?" I asked him directly.I just want to thank him for rescuing me in the forest."Don't worry, lady, you'll meet him right now, I'll introduce myself to you first." He held out his right hand in front of me at once. "I'm Marvin… Marvin Wingston." He introduced himself and I immediately reached out his hand.
Elona's POV"Yes, that's me, what do you need?" he said seriously to me without even any emotion from his face. He asked me to sit near his table, causing my knees to weaken and my heartbeat to speed up again.But even though I was nervous, I still tried to fight it before I speak again."I-I just wanted to thank you for bringing me here and for giving me a free education. Especially for saving me from the forest." I seriously thank him as I force myself not to stutter. He immediately raised his head from reading the newspaper and frowned at me."Me? I brought you here?" astonished he answered me back at the same time he pointed to himself as if he could not believe for what I've just said."I-Isn't that you?" I was also confused. What's this? Marvin says he's the one who saved me and brought me here?"Y-Yeah, don't worry about it. Enjoy your stay here." he still seemed confused. So even though I wanted to as
Elona's POVIt's Saturday and I'm awake already, it's still 7am in the morning. I planned to go around the university first. Maybe the students don't have classes today, because it's Saturday. So that I don't get lost if I look for my classroom on Monday if ever I will find my classroom.I am now wearing a simple white top dress and my bottom is a skirt that is only up to my knees. Fortunately, I found something in the cabinet.Whose dress is this? Just now, I'm sorry ... I really don't have anything to wear anymore. I'll just borrow your dress for now.My curly hair is just loose. I didn't even bother to put any makeup on my face because I don't have any of that. And then ... it's not necessary, as long as you just live here on earth, that's okay. You are already very lucky."But I'm just curious, is the maker of this room a fortune teller? Or, all the rooms here really have flower designs?" astonished I asked myself once lifting my gaze
Elona's POVMarvin pointed out where my locker room would be. I was amazed because we still had our own bags of our belongings. This is probably what they call the locker room. We also went to their gymnasium here, I am not surprised when I saw the huge space of it. Cafeteria that they have here is already so pompous, what else can I expect in their gymnasium?Somehow, I was able to study elementary school on my own effort. That's all, until grade six only. But even so, it still helped me to learn at least a little.I still remember how Tita objected when she found out that I was studying secretly. I don't seem to be able to do anything in my studies. So she did everything she could to stop me from studying. She didn't want to see me having fun in my own life.I suddenly stopped from thinking and glance Marvin who are still busy introducing to me the parts of this University. Someone has already helped you, El. So don't waste y
