Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 397 - Liana is my cousin
...***...
"She said, you are beautiful." Elvina translates.
"Thank you's. You look beautiful too." Lucy complimented him.
Linda turned to her best friend, asking for an explanation from Elvina. "She said you were beautiful too" said Elvina.
Although Elvina graduated from High School, at least she understood a little.
Soon they were busy with their own food.
Leon had been silent since then and noticed Elvina sitting next to him. Elvina had almost not wanted to meet him, this made Leon feel more if something was wrong with the woman who became his lover.
"By the way there's something I need to get straight here," Lucy said.
Everyone turned to the woman who had just spoken. Elvina and Linda did not understand what she was saying, and Leon tried to translate her words.
"What?" elvina asked as she looked at him after hearing the translation that Leon had said.
Lucy suddenly grabs Elvina's hand and grabs it. He faced each other with the woman who became the lover of his cousin's sister—Leon.
"Look, I know you misunderstood me and Leon. But just so you know, that me and Leon have nothing to do. We're just cousins who haven't seen each other in a long time. During this time, I lived in England while Leon moved to Indonesia since our grandparents in France, died" he explained accompanied by Leon who translated.
Elvina was silent, even Linda. The two were speechless to respond to Lucy's words.
"Is that true?" elvina asked finally after a moment of silence.
Leon stared.
"Yes. Liana and I are only cousins, didn't I tell you that I had a female cousin who protected me so much when I was living in Paris? This is the man, the man who has protected me a lot from the children who used to run me down a lot when I lived in France."
"O. oh, so it seems.." Elvina chuckled softly.
Leon was stunned to see it. While Lucy and Linda were smiling knots, they could guess that Elvina was embarrassed by her own jealous attitude for no reason.
"You're not mad at me anymore, are you?" Leon ensured.
"Hahaha, no." Elvina shook her head slowly.
Leon gave a smile to see Elvina who could be cheerful again like Elvina who he knew.
"Sorry, because I'm jealous for no reason." Elvina looked at him.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing for making you misunderstand. Just try if I explain earlier that Liana is my cousin. Fortunately, Liana was a person who was always sensitive and could see the other side of things I didn't see." Leon looked at Lucy.
"Thank you." Leon smiled at him.
Elvina looked at him and apologized for behaving as before. He was really embarrassed because he was jealous of his cousin Leon.
"Eat him do not quickly conclude. You should have asked Leon who he was" Linda told Elvina.
"You're also the one who kept warming me up! Who do you think I'm jealous of? You're also the one who keeps thinking they're dating, right?"
"Ah.. that's.." Linda died a flea, Elvina's speech is indeed true. He is also wrong because it has made Elvina speculate that Lucy is Leon's lover.
"Sorry" he said, smilingly revealing a row of his teeth.
