Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 460 - I'll tell you
...***...
Time passed, and the day grew late. Elvina and Rei have been searching for William, who was kidnapped by Joe.
"We failed to find him. What do we do now?" Elvina muttered with a frustrated face. His clothes had already completely looked messy as he continued to run around looking for his sister.
Sweat drenched Elvina's forehead, and her body actually smelled from the sun's exposure.
Rei sat down beside him. He offered a cold drink he had just bought.
"We have not failed. We just haven't found it yet." Rei answered while rubbing his wet lips.
Elvina opened the drink earlier, then gulped down the contents.
"What if Joe takes it straight to the professor? If that happens, then we won't be able to do anything anymore."
"If that's true, we just have to go and chase after him. We failed it before they managed to do anything to Will."
Elvina took a long breath. The idea of Rei sounds crazy.
"That's impossible. If we go after him to their base, then there are, those who catch us."
Elvina's attention suddenly turned to her ringing phone. He immediately pulled out his phone.
The lighted screen showed a call from his mother.
"Mom's on the phone, now what should I do? There's no way I'm telling the truth, right? Mama might faint to hear Will's missing." Elvina fretting not playing.
"Let's just say Will's okay and nothing happens."
"I'll do it." Elvina agreed. There is no other way but to tell a lie to cover up the harsh reality that will make her mother faint.
Elvina pressed the green button which instantly connected her phone connection.
"H... hello?" Elvina answered with a stammer.
Elvina sobbed involuntarily. He bit his hand to hold his voice so that Indri did not hear. Can be worried if Indri hears himself crying.
"You need to calm down, don't cry like this. Your mom's gonna be worried." Rei whispered trying to make Elvina calm down.
"A. I can't do it.." Elvina said with a sobbing that was getting harder and harder to hold. His shoulders shook.
"Elvina?" Indri across there was trying to get an answer from his eldest daughter.
"Y.. yeah, ma?" Elvina tried to hold back.
"You calm down first, set your breath," whispered Rei again.
Elvina nodded slowly and then regulated her breathing. He took his breath through his nose, then exhaled it through his mouth. Keep doing that over and over again until you really feel a little calm.
"Els? The darling? Why are you keeping quiet? Don't make your mom even more anxious" Indira said.
"Everything's fine, ma."
"really? Thank goodness my mom was glad to hear that. So you've met William?"
"Y. yeah. I've met him, and he said he'd be home a little night because in a few weeks he'd have to go to the game."
"So apparently, it's only fitting that mom can't reach him."
"His phone's in silent so she can focus on practicing."
"Alright, mama won't call him. Tell him not to forget to eat and rest in moderation, do not practice for too long. Anyway, he's got to keep his health."
"Will Elvina deliver…"
"You too, take care of your sister and make sure she stays healthy. Do not forget to take care of your health. Don't work too much."
"Yes well, ma." Elvina came back sobbing slowly.
