ELENA: The Quiet Girl
18

Lili and friends gather at a cafe located a little away from home, they celebrate the anniversary of the wedding of one of Lili's friends.

Not far from there, William and his mother, Elis were enjoying a cake and a warm cup of coffee. Unlike William, the man ordered a cold drink with chocolate and cheese cakes.

William was a little surprised by Elis who every second glanced at the table containing six people. Sometimes he asked, but his mother always switched the conversation.

As one of the six walked towards the toilet, suddenly Elis wanted to go to the toilet as well.

William who was suspicious of it quietly followed him from behind.

"You're Lili, right?" elis.

"Yes, who are you?" elis answered with a confused face.

"I'm the mother of the child you foster."

Lili was surprised instead of playing, she did not expect that in the end someone snatched Elena from her.

"S-I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Don't pretend I don't know, I've been investigating this" Elis said. Then he took out a piece of childcare agreement paper. "I'll guarantee his living expenses, provided you don't let him go."

"What does that mean?"

Lili was completely puzzled by every utterance of Elis.

"Please consider him your son forever, I can't take care of him because I already have a family of my own."

The words that came out of Elis' mouth, like those that were spouted straight from the cobra's mouth, were painful and deadly. Although his heart was a little relieved because the goal was not to take Elena, still. Who would a mother do that to her own child?

"Are you really human?" ask Lili.

"What do you mean by that question?"

"Humans must have a conscience no matter how small, but you? are you a demon that resembles a human?! give birth to a child but then you abandon it?! I really don't think it out!" press Lili emotion.

He was angry because the person Elena missed never once missed him, even to the point of thinking about him. Her heart ached because Elena always wondered where her mother was.

"You never knew the girl's pain all this time, did you? when he was a child-"

"Elena was hit by a truck and lost her memory, right? been in a coma for three months and when you realized you were by her side? acting like a real mother?" obviously Elis interrupted Lili's words.

"You should be happy because someone like you who will forever never have children gets Elena, right?" elis again. This time Lili did not speak, she did not know how far the woman in front of her knew everything.

"Don't be pretentious about the girl's private life, now tell me your account number. In five minutes, the money will go straight in."

Lili grabbed the bag that had been hung on the wall beside her. "No need, I am his mother! don't expect you to take my daughter!" press Lili and get out of there.

William who heard the conversation clearly from the outside because the door that was not tightly closed kicked his foot into the tire of the car after he entered and drove as fast as possible.

The next day, William came to school with a different expression. If the guy usually comes to Elena's class and says good morning, today he didn't.

Even Vienna and Raihan were astonished at William's strange nature.

"Are you the one who made him angry?" whispered Vienna. Raihan shook his head small.

"Do I look like a man with a lack of work?!" ketus Raihan upset.

"Hahaha, is that right?" ejek Vienna's.

"Just kid! maybe angry for not getting the pocket money?" guess Raihan. Vienna thought for a moment.

"Maybe!"

"Let it be, later on the break he'll be back up again." Vienna chuckled while nodding in agreement.

But during the break, William did not move from his place at all in the slightest. Although Vienna had tried to use the right way as usual to lure it but it did not work at all.

"I'LL EAT WITH ELENA!!!"

A used bottle floated up and landed right on Vienna's head.

"WHISPER! QUICKLY MEET YOUR DEAREST ELENA! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TALKED LIKE THAT?!" Shouted the class leader.

"Huh?! envy says!" vienna won't lose.

"None of the people here is envious! you're the one who's overdoing it!"

"No, I'm like this. And what do you mean throw me a bottle?!" Vienna immediately took Raihan's full drinking place and threw him down loud.

The class leader, too, lay helpless.

Elena looked at Vienna and Raihan, as usual the two met Elena for lunch.

"Have you guys been dating?" chirp Elena. Both are immediately stoked.

"Huh?! what do you mean, that's impossible!" peekik Raihan with a wave.

"Yes, that's impossible!" continued the same Vienna her reverberation.

"Yes, this is the first time you've come together. Where's William?"

Raihan scratched his non-itchy head, while Vienna was reluctant to answer.

"What's wrong?" ask Elena again. He was more curious about what happened.

"Look, like that man is coming on the moon."

Third, peek class. And sure enough William did not move a little from his place.

"Look at that, how creepy is a humorous human being when he's angry?!" whispered Vienna. Raihan nodded in agreement, Elena just stared with a flat look.

Elena walked in making the two flinch, the girl did not like to hide, she would rather ask directly than never know the crux of the matter.

"What's wrong?" ask Elena. William was surprised by his sudden arrival. "I heard you were coming to the moon?" the chirps again make anyone who hears it gape wide.

"STUPID!!!" raihan and Vienna at the same time.

William immediately got up from his seat, and came out quickly. Even though Raihan and Vienna had already hit it, it did not last long.

Elena tilted her head, she did not understand the nature of the man who could only keep quiet without talking about his problem, according to her it was a waste of time to take care of such a thing.

"It looks like she's indeed coming by the moon" Elena said.

"Are you stupid or too genius?! where's the man who came to the moon?!" furious Raihan. He held back his emotions in order to unintentionally pull Elena's long hair.

"Stypically you said that."

Vienna jerks Raihan's arm. "You're the one who talks like that first! don't blame Elena!"

Raihan just resigned to blame, he did not want to add to the mind again. "Then what now?"

"It seems like there's something she doesn't want to tell us" Elena guessed. The two stared at each other.

"What right?" ask Vienna to Raihan.

"Where do I know!" press Raihan's upset.

"Let it go, it will come back by itself." Elena walked away from the two, the girl wanted to see Sia's class. From the break hour until the bell came in there was no sign of the appearance of the little girl.

"I have a bad feeling."
