Vine: linda:
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to double date? You're with your boyfriend, I'm with Roby.
Elvine:
Maybe later. I still haven't thought of it until there.
Elvina turned off her phone screen and put it in her suit pocket. He continued his journey until he arrived at the elevator door.
Arriving there, Elvina quietly waited for the door to open after she pressed the button.
The sound of 'ting' heard, along with that the elevator door opened and showed a sturdy man who was now standing there.
Elvina was just about to step in, before she looked up and found Leon inside.
Their eyes met each other. Once aware of who was in the elevator, Elvina hurried to turn around to avoid Leon.
Leon who noticed Elvina again dodged her, rushed out of the elevator. Leon ran after Elvina.
"Elvina!" Leon tried to stop the woman's steps.
Elvina kept moving. Walking as if he could not hear his call.
Aish! Why are you following me? Don't follow me. I beg. Elvina accelerated until she arrived in front of another elevator.
He pressed the button. But as soon as the door opened and saw the dense crowd inside, Elvina immediately turned around.
"Elvina, wait!" Leon's still after him.
God, why are you chasing me! Elvina was getting anxious. He started running a little to get away from Leon.
Elvina walked towards the emergency stairs. He stepped down in a hurry.
Leon did not give up and continued to run after Elvina. He now also walked down the stairs that Elvina passed.
Elvina spontaneously stops when Leon finally manages to catch her.
"I beg you to stop. Don't run away from me anymore. Don't avoid it anymore" Leon said.
Elvina was silent, and Leon turned the woman's body to face her.
"Don't keep running away."
"Sorry.." Elvina muttered with her head down. Leon silently looked at his face, waiting for the next sentence to be thrown from his mouth. "I can't answer yet. Because I'm really confused as to what to answer."
"You won't know the answer if you keep avoiding me." Leon grabbed both of Elvina's hands and grabbed them. Elvina looked up, looking at him.
"Give me a chance to get to know you more closely. That way, you can find the answer," he said.
"But…"
"Don't keep running. Because the further you run away from me, the more determined I am to get you."
Elvina quietly clenched her teeth. His heart really felt like it was about to jump out.
"Sunday. Let's get to know each other better. We're both walking Sunday, how?" Leon looked at her expectantly, but Elvina was completely speechless.
"I take your silence as a 'yes' answer'. Well then, Sunday I'll pick you up at home, and from that day on, let's get to know each other better so you can find the answer."
Elvina opened her mouth, just wanting to answer. Suddenly Leon gave up his grasp and took his leave.
"Then I'll see you." Leon turned around to leave Elvina alone in there.
Elvina petrified in her place. He let out a long breath trying to neutralize the heartbeat and nervousness that had been enveloping him.
"He was always alone. Though I have not answered yes," he said with his head bowed.
