After You Left Me
A Beautiful Place
After arriving at the campus, Elena immediately got off the car and the driver left her. She kept walking towards the lecturer's room to collect the tasks she was working on last night, today Elena is not in college
After about 20 minutes, Elena and her lecturer finally finished talking about the task she just collected. Elena told her lecturer then walked out of the room, and decided to go to the park

Elena sits her body on the bench of the park where her lecture, the air feels fresh because around many planted shady trees as well of course. Elena was silent as she looked straight ahead with a blank look
Once again he remembered it, Elena was thinking about the reason why she decided to study in Indonesia and leave America. Of course the reason is only one, because of the matchmaking that has been arranged by his parents. Elena felt burdened by the matchmaking, and she always thought "Why should I? why not Estian's sister?" the thought continued to ring in Elena's mind

The sound of her phone clinking, Elena reached into her bag and put her hand inside and took her phone. There could be many notifications coming in on her phone, but only one of them was of interest to Elena. The message came from the "Ice Block" of course who else if not Edric, without further ado Elena instantly opened and replied to his message
Ice Beams
Elena are you done? If you have then hurry out, I've been waiting for you in front!!
Elena (The Coldest Woman)
Yes, then wait for me Edric!
Elena immediately moved from her seat and walked out of the campus, can be seen from afar if there is already a black luxury car lying there and Edric's position was sitting on the hood of the car staring down. Seeing Edric was waiting for him Elena immediately ran small to quickly arrive
Edric raised his head, and saw that Elena was walking towards him. Edric immediately raised his right hand and waved it at Elena. Elena arrived and they both got into the car
"Edric, where are we going now? " ask Elena
"Just wait, you don't have to ask. You'll find out later" ask Elena
After that short talk, the two of them did not speak anything and the atmosphere in the car was silent only the sound of music from the radio. Elena just stared outwards while slightly revealing her smile, and Edric realized that

The car that Edric was driving stopped at a place where there was such a beautiful scenery, Elena was surprised how there could be a place as beautiful as this. Elena still could not believe what she saw, she got out of the car and left Edric
Elena continued to look around with a look of amazement, she was currently at a peak where she could see the sun that was about to set clearly, there are many trees surrounded by decorative lights, and there are lounge chairs
Finished with the car, Edric got out and locked it and walked to Elena. And at this moment Edric was already standing beside Elena who was staring at the sunset right in front of him. Edric stared at the sunset and closed his eyes, enjoying the fresh breeze around him before he opened his voice
"Elena you're the first person I've brought to this place after all this time"
"This place is a place that has a lot of stories in my life, where I met a girl who when I first saw her I immediately liked her. But we both had to separate, I don't know what the reason was. And I don't know where he is right now, I miss him so much" Edric explained sadly
"If I may guess, is he your first love? "
"Yes you are right, he is my first and last love. I will always love her, even if I don't know her whereabouts"!!!!
"But we were just friends, why did you tell me all this. On what basis do you trust me so much? " ask Elena seriously
"Yes I know, and I have no reason to. But somehow I'm so sure of how I feel, if I believe you" Elena looked in the eye
Elena also stared back at Edric's bead, where it was clear there was so much sadness in the man's eyes. Elena immediately reached out her hand, and stroked Edric's cheek. He tried to feel Elena's hand. Suddenly Elena's hand stretched out to put Edric's head leaning against her shoulder
"Stand on my shoulder Edric, clear up all the problems that have been weighing on your mind all this time. Let go of everything so that your heart can be much calmer! "
Because of the words that came out of Elena's lips earlier, inexplicably Edric's eyes suddenly shed tears. Edric cries but he tries to hide it, but Elena realizes that her friend is crying. Edric lifted his head from Elena's shoulders
"Thank you very much Elena" Edric said
"Before you speak, first wipe away your tears. A man cannot show his tears to others, he is enough, he is a believer, and God knows! "
"Why do your words feel so familiar in my ears Elena? Who are you really? " Inner Edric
"Thank you, thanks to you I can feel things I haven't felt in a long time" Edric said
"Together we are friends, of course I will help you. If you need someone to tell you a story, you can call me at any time" Elena smiled at Edric
"Can I tell you a little about my life? " ask Elena replied with a nod and a smile by Edric
"Honestly, I'm a hard person to socialize with and that's all proven. I only have one friend, Kinna, I've known him since childhood because we grew up together. But I don't think I'm going to be sad anymore, because I already have one more friend and when I get to know him somehow I feel so happy. Though we haven't known each other for a long time, but I feel happy if there's that person. That person is you Edric" explained Elena at length
Edric smiled looking at Elena, then ruffled his hair in a daze. Elena pursed her lips, of course she was annoyed that her hair was falling apart. And Elena also returned the favor by changing the hair ruffling Edric
They both felt strange with each other, Edric and Elena had just gotten to know but they could already be that familiar. They almost forgot that they had been friends for two days
