The time had already shown at half-six in the afternoon as Elena went downstairs while carrying her empty plate.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, when she learned that the house was still very quiet from the figure of her three families.
"Safe! They're probably just gonna be home in the middle of the night, 'cause they gotta take that guy for a walk first." Elena smiled at the sumringah. His feet lightly stepped into the kitchen.
"Non, I should've taken the empty plate." Lily, who was tidying up the kitchen, was surprised to find the arrival of her young lady.
"It's okay, I'm all down." Elena placed the empty plate inside the kitchen sink, and immediately headed for the family room. He intended to take some unfinished novels he had read, on display bookshelves.
They do not have a reading room, therefore the father uses the family room as a storage area for books as well.
However, Elena's footsteps suddenly came to a halt, as soon as she heard the voices of her parents.
Elena's face turned frantic. The girl retreated and climbed back up to the second floor. As much as possible, Elena should avoid Evans' figure within a certain radius.
"El, dear," called Samantha when she found her youngest daughter on the stairs, about to go to the second floor.
Hearing the mother's call, Elena's face grimaced. For some reason, the girl's heart suddenly thumped hard.
"Darling, you haven't slept? Then greet your brother first. You guys haven't seen each other in a long time, have you?" Samantha's soft voice was heard again, followed by several footsteps that walked over to her.
Elena bit her lip. He slowly adjusted his breathing, before then preparing a face as gentle as possible.
As soon as Elena turned around, there was already a handsome, blue-eyed, tall-looking man standing right before her. The man looked at Elena expressionlessly.
Elena kontan just sculpt. For some reason, the look in the man's eyes reminded him of someone's eyes.
A million longing feelings suddenly present filled Elena's heart unstoppably. His hands and feet had unwittingly also started shaking violently. He was struggling with all his might not to hit the body of the older brother.
"I miss you."
A gentle, soothing voice belonged to a man, suddenly ringing inside Elena's head.
A foreign voice that somehow, made the girl feel very longing.
"Who?" Inner Elena.
Evans, who was staring at the younger brother expressionlessly, gasped for a moment when he found a drop of clear liquid flowing down the girl's cheeks.
Simon and Samantha, who were there, were just as surprised as Evans.
Samantha took one step forward. He opened his voice to ask about the condition of his youngest child. Simon, however, swiftly took the wife's hand, and shook his head.
"I love you so much. In fact, when God closes his eyes and lets this cruelty separate our bodies,"
" ... I will still love you," muttered Elena, continuing a sentence that suddenly appeared in the girl's memory.
Evans, who did not hear Elena's words at all, could only raise his eyebrows high, when he saw his sister's lips twitching like she was muttering something.
Just as Evans was about to raise his hand, Elena suddenly gasped and came to a realization.
The girl took a step back while holding her chest which started to feel very tight.
"Ma–maaf," said Elena. Without saying another word, the girl rushed to run towards the second floor and locked the door of her room tightly.
The girl leaned limply against the door leaf with a breath that was heard hunting.
"Why am I crying?" he asked in confusion, while continuing to wipe away the tears that even more profusely wet his cheeks.
"Hey! Stop flowing those fucking tears!" as Elena was upset, she realized that the tears were still flowing out.
As a result, he dropped himself on the floor and began to cry as much as possible while hugging both knees as tightly as possible.
A sliver of longing was again present filling Elena's heart space. He himself did not understand why this could happen
Over the years, Elena has always felt fine when away from Evans. Both are like two strangers who do not know each other. Never once in Elena's life did Evans behave like an older brother.
A longing that is very painful and very painful.
In a way, Elena thought the other person was Evans. However, on the other hand, that person was not Evans.
Elena was trying to understand the strange thing that had just happened. However, the more he tried to understand it, the more it hurt his head.
"What's wrong with me?" Elena's inner hysterical.
...***...
"Perhaps, Elena missed you too much."
That's the line the mother said, after Elena's departure.
Evans doesn't usually care about Elena. However, after seeing the girl's tears earlier, it made Evans feel a little uncomfortable. This isn't the first time Evans has seen Elena's tears.
Could it be that Elena was trying to attract her attention, so that their relationship would no longer be as cold as it used to be?
"Ck!" Thinking of this, Evan looked very upset.
The man chose to open his laptop and began to learn some office tasks. For, in two or three days, he will begin to occupy the office of the father.
Managing the family office is no longer foreign and difficult for Evans, as his father often asked for his help while he was still living abroad.
Simon seems to have planned it all on purpose long ago. He would not have been allowed to stay apart with the Wileen family continuously.
...***...
A ray of morning sunshine hit Elena's room. The girl who usually always put on a cheerful face, this time looked a little moody.
In fact, he really wanted to skip school and spend the whole day locked in his room. However, that is not possible, because graduation day will soon arrive. Elena certainly did not want to stain the column of absence that is always almost clean for almost three years.
With a careless step, Elena walked out of the room and descended to the first floor.
Regardless of what happened last night, he tried to look relaxed when joining the dining table.
"El" said Samantha when not a word came out of her daughter's mouth.
"For Pa, Ma ... Brother," Elena played down her voice as she said the last word.
Simon returned Elena's greeting, while Evans only nodded briefly.
The atmosphere at the dining table felt very foreign to Elena. Even though Evans was busy eating toast made by the mother, without caring about her at all.
Occasionally, Elena glanced at the figure of the elder sister, before returning to throw her face.
Unable to linger there, Elena rushed to chew her toast.
"Hurry up, El," Simon rebuked as soon as he found the princess had risen from her seat.
"There's something I have to do at school, Pa. I'm leaving first." Elena hurriedly kissed both the cheeks of her father and mother, then was about to leave them. However, the mother's call made Elena tick.
"That's right!" Inner the girl. His eyes stared cynically at Evans, who was still busy eating the last piece of his toast.
The look on the man's face that seemed to be unaware of anything, made Elena even more irritated.
"I go first, sister," said Elena. The sound of footsteps rang out in Evans' ears.
The man is seen wiping his mouth using a handkerchief first, before then raising his face to respond to Elena's words.
However, unexpectedly a warm kiss suddenly landed on Evans' right cheek.
The man's face was shocked.
Without saying anything more, Elena immediately left the house with wide strides.
