Selena's slow whimper became her escort when the door of her room was opened by Ocean, giving way for Felix to enter. Selena on Felix's back was seen moving slowly, as if she was not comfortable with her current position.
Ocean could only stand in the doorway, watching Felix carefully put Selena to bed, draping her to the stomach. Ocean threw away the face when Felix rubbed Selena's hair affectionately several times, then landed a brief kiss on her forehead.
“I heard you saved Selena from an attempted kidnapping in Alaska, huh? Thank you for taking care of Selena, Ocean.” Felix broke the silence, staring at Ocean who was several meters away from him.
“No need to thank. Even if it was someone else, not Selena, I would still do the same.” Ocean chiming flat. “Don't your driver wait, Felix?”
Felix again focused his attention on Selena who was asleep. The peaceful face of Selena who was washed away in a dream, this time instead sowed a wound in Felix's heart as his mind returned to the nightclub a moment ago. Selena approached him in a chaotic condition. Mascara faded, hair was messy, and sadness lingered on his face.
Not yet had Felix asked what had happened, without cue, Selena downed the beer from her bottle straight away, spending half of it in one drink. Felix tries to stop him, but Selena completely loses control, distancing Felix's hand from grabbing the bottle.
Pitted against the deafening nightclub music, Selena spends four bottles of beer before finally collapsing, heavily intoxicated. During that time, he kept raving about Ocean, scolding him as a heartless bastard.
Every swearing that came out of Selena's lips sounded like a farewell song to Felix. Countless times he felt a shackling tightness, half his life was like drifting away. Without needing to ask, without needing an answer, Felix knew, Selena's heart no longer belonged to him.
Trying to drive away the bitter events that have not long passed, Felix once again justifies Selena's blanket, saying softly, “I'll go now.”
Felix had just turned around, about to step away, when his movements stopped. She turned her head to find Selena's fingers moving weakly grabbing her hand. The ocean up ahead also focused attention without being able to maintain the flat look that seemed to be his trademark all along.
“Do not go ...” Selena said slowly—more sounds like scolding, her eyes still closed.
As if he was fooling himself, Felix's smile expanded upon Selena's words. He looked at Ocean as if asking for approval in order to stay there tonight. Ocean let out a faint sigh, nodded slowly, then closed the door of the room.
In a hurry Felix put his phone on the table, took off his jacket, until he did not realize that Selena again scatters more softly from the gust of wind, defeated by the roar of the air-conditioning machine.
“... Ocean.”
...****...
Selena's head felt so heavy as she opened her eyes. His stomach churned, nausea slurped up into the esophagus. Selena held her head as she sat on the bed, trying to relax her head with a light movement, until she gasped in shock when she found Felix sleeping next to her.
Selena's eyes blinked in a slow tempo, trying to remember what happened last night. As hard as Selena tried, what caught her mind only came to the moment she downed the beer from her bottle straight away, with Felix staring at her in surprise.
Whether it was the lingering drunken effect, or the bad mood, Selena became very upset when she realized that Ocean allowed Felix to sleep in their home. The man turns out to really think Selena is not important, maybe even a bully in her life.
Seeing the sinless face of Ocean, the lump of anger that had subsided, inevitably now re-enlarged. It didn't take long, Selena was sure her emotions would overflow if she continued to be faced with Ocean's annoying face.
Without feeling the need to say hello, Selena gawked past the Ocean, fetching water in the refrigerator.
“I'm sorry for being late to tell you, Selena.” Ocean stared at his coffee cup, tearing the silence.
There's no answer. Just the sound of water being poured into a glass.
Ocean looked over, sighing. “We have agreed to give each other complaints, dislike of something, rather than anger like this. You—”
“Then from that why do you promise if you can't keep it, Ocean!” Selena charged quickly, her painstakingly muted emotions finally ignited as well.
“Agatha—”
Hearing the name called Ocean, Selena flicked the glass to the table. His gaze turned giddy and filled with a fiery anger. "If that's how you like Agatha, why don't you just marry her? Why am I even being dragged into this stupid marriage?” Selena's breath roared as she took a short pause. “I .. I've even announced to the crowd of reporters, waiting like a fool at the birthday party that's over. You are a fucker ..”
Selena clenched her hands tightly until her knuckles turned white. Not ... It's really not about the people's view of her looking pathetic or just having a big mouth, but about the hope Selena put on Ocean.
But he was waiting. He prepared himself as best he could. He hopes to enjoy something fun together. In fact, Selena only found empty hope. No matter how long Selena waited, Ocean would regard her as something worthless.
The overflowing emotions brought Selena's feet galloping quickly leaving the kitchen. Arriving at the door, Selena's steps stopped when she saw Felix there, standing still watching the drama that happened.
“Felix .. let's get out of here. I don't want to be here anymore.” Selena held onto Felix's arm with a hopeful expression. Her eyes were reddening withstanding the crying.
Instead of feeling happy, Felix actually felt his heart was stabbed thousands of sembilu. Disappointed look on Selena's face, sending a wound at each breath Felix.
Just like Selena, Felix's dream is also starting to fade. He is waiting too. Selena's gone, and I don't know how long it's gonna take her back to what she used to be.
Felix's eyes collide with Ocean's dark bead when he takes his eyes off Selena. Like there was a thread of red that splashed fire between them, Felix pulled Selena into his arms, whispering, “I'll take you away from here, Selena. Let's go to a more beautiful place.”
And Ocean could only stare at the departure of Selena and Felix in the same position. He had no power to stop Selena from leaving his house.
