Villainess' Giving Up
A place like in a dream

Suan put a button on the sleeve of the shirt into the hole.

The man was seen standing looking at Aria who was sitting on the edge of the mattress through the mirror in front of him.

Every now and then he smiled bitterly, swallowing the pain of his own guilt, occasionally he let out a heavy sigh, looking at the face of the woman he loved.

Suan started to turn around.

“Can you always be by my side?, I don't want to be alone.”

Aria looked up, she raised her hand to grab Suan's helping hand and stood up and followed the man.

“Just relax, I will not leave you and again, the show is also not formal.” Suan clasped Aria's hand tightly as if she didn't want to take it off her hand.

Clattering their footsteps, they had walked out of the room room.

The dress with my arm, bright blue and fluffy on the bottom, had Aria wearing that night.

Taaaack...

Suan slightly gasped when she saw Elbram had entered her apartment and she sighed as Elbram approached and whispered something into her ear.

“Wait for me there!”

Suan turned herself towards Aria and released the woman's hand.

“Where are you going?”

Aria grabbed Suan's arm and grasped it. He began to hesitate to leave if without Suan with him.

“There's a business I have to settle for a minute, Elbram will take you there.”

Suan released Aria's hand from her arm. He looked at the woman's eyes with a sorrowful look.

“Just calm Aria, Suan won't be long.”

Elbram tried reassuringly, the man was seen standing beside Suan while looking at Aria's worried face.

She knows, Aria might not be happy if she goes with him, but she also has no other choice to take him so that Suan can move freely then.

“Wait for me, can you grant my request?”

Suan no less trying to convince, actually he was a little doubt if Aria would comply with his request considering that the woman had always been stubborn.

Aria was stunned, her face seemed to start to wither.

Laziness enveloped his heart, that night he felt tired and did not want to follow Suan to the celebration of the success of the company Dikintama.

“I'm at home only.”

Aria began to turn around, discouraging Suan who was eager for the woman to join her employees to enliven the event.

“Arkas is there.”

“Really?”

Again, again,

Aria's enthusiastic question hurt Suan. The man felt that Aria's heart had been filled with men other than himself.

Aria who had turned around, turned back to face the door and then stepped closer to the object, “ come Elbram!”

He left Suan still standing looking at his back from afar.

“Ah,”

Aria who had not had time to go out of the apartment, turned to walk towards Suan who was still standing, looking at him bitterly. “Don't take too long, I can't stand being away from you.” Aria kissed Suan on the cheek then stepped back following Elbram who had been waiting for her in the front corridor of the door.

Suan could only grit her teeth, her eyes reddened and she was seen trying hard to hold the chaotic feeling in her heart.

**********

The car that Elbram was driving, drove slowly. The car entered a parking area in front of several four-story buildings that were quite spacious.

The buildings look like they are crammed into each other. None of the shops in the buildings were open.

Pop music is heard echoing into the ears. The singing voice of no less people also sounded.

Colorful decorative lights entered, through the glass window of the car driven by Elbram and when the car stopped, Aria widened her eyes and was surprised by the sight she saw.

A stage was seen filled by several people singing.

Under the stage there were so many tents lined up neatly and facing each other.

The entire tent seemed to only serve various types of food.

“This is where?” asked Aria remembering something. His eyes began to turn red and teary.

Correct, right,

The place he saw was exactly the same as the one he had seen in his dream.

“Festival of food,” Elbram turned towards Aria with Sumringah's face. The man looked so excited at the idea of a celebratory event that Suan came up with.

His heart is cheerful and full of joy.

He began to look in all directions before getting out of the car while looking at one by one the employees of the company Dikintama who came and went.

“Can't,” Aria's body starts shaking, “I'll just go home.” Then he hugged his own body. His face looked pale and his eyes began to turn red.

“Aria, why are you?”

Elbram begins to realize the strangeness of Aria, who was happy, when it turns to worry.

“I can't be here, where is Suan?, please call him!” aria's body vibration is getting tighter. It makes Elbram more panicked, especially with Aria's body sweat that seemed to fall.

“Alright, we go from here.”

Elbram turned the key, he turned the car back on and drove it away from the Food Festival.

Car has stayed away from the celebration event, “why don't you want to be there?” The curious Elbram, questioned Aria's attitude.

“I'll starve there, even have money though, I can't buy any food there.”

Elbram let out a heavy sigh, he was completely puzzled at deciphering the intent spoken by Aria back then. “I don't want to feel the agonizing hunger anymore.” Aria further confused Elbram who started reaching for the phone and picking up the call.

“You where?” ask someone from behind the phone held by Elbram.

“Aria talk weird.”

“What?” hearing Elbram's words, Aria turned to him with an angry face.

“Aish,” Elbram went awry, he drove the car to the edge of the city street and stopped it.

“Aria, aren't you so weird?”

“You where?”

Re-question the voice of the person behind Elbram's cell phone.

“I will send you a map of our current location.” Elbram immediately disconnects the call and sends a location message.

“Why did you say I was weird?, didn't I explain to you my problem?”

Aria gritted her teeth furiously, she started grabbing the door handle to open the car but could not.

“Open!”

“Aria, why are you?” Elbram is really getting panic-stricken, “Isn't it weird that you feel hungry in a place full of food?, you don't even have to buy it anymore because Suan will pay for all the food for us.”

Elbram tried to explain by venturing out to return Aria's angry gaze back then.

“Haa.” Aria threw out a face, she wiped away a quick tear that fell over the cheek, “I've been to that place before and I feel for myself it feels excruciating hunger.”

“When did you go to that place?, are you sure that's the place?”

Elbram focused his hand on his phone, his fingers typing something and he sent a message to Suan's contact number.

“A few days ago, inside a dream and I was very sure that it was the place.”

“Aria, Jeez.” Elbram was infuriated to the point that his white teeth were clearly visible and the man was holding his dizzy forehead. “Why do you still believe in dreams?” The male voice started to harden, he really felt that he could no longer stand being next to Aria.

“But I felt for myself how painful my stomach was at that time.”

Aria tries hard to prove the truth of the dream she experienced.

Tok..

Until the woman turned to Elbram again when the sound of knocking on the glass window rang.

Elbram lowers window glass, “Aria, are you okay?” He starts to open the locked door and lets Harry walk towards the side door of Aria and opens it.

“Aria, are you okay?” harry's question was so alarmed by Aria's pale-faced state that night.

“You brought food?” elbram asked, looking very emotional.

“Food?” Confused Harry could only hold back his curiosity for a while, “ Arkas, did you bring food?” then he shouted at Arkas who was in the car, the back of the car that Elbram was driving.

Harry pulls Aria's arm, he pulls the shivering woman out of the car and lets Elbram ease his emotions first.

“ini,” Arkas comes with a piece of doughnut that has been split, “but this is the rest of me.”

Harry began to look at Elbram, who was still sitting in the car.

“Just give it to him!” elbram said loudly to make Aria just bow her head.

“Aria, you want this?” hesitantly Arkas reached out, giving the donut to Aria who was eager to cry that night.

“Eat and prove yourself that you will not starve tonight!” Elbram's order snapped, the man was indeed already very emotional with Aria's attitude which he considered like a child.

“I'll just go home.” Aria starts to step closer to Harry's car, “ Harry, please take me home!” pinta Aria kept walking.

“Elbram, exactly what happened?”

Harry was really upset in the confusion, he didn't even know what to do that night.

“He only ever dreams of coming to a food festival and his fear is not fundamental then says that he will starve to death if he is there.”

Clearly Elbram was so angry that his words sounded blindly that night.

“That dream is the opposite,”

“apa?” Aria stopped her steps, hearing Arkas's words.

“That dream is not real Aria, believe me!”

Arkas stepped closer to Aria and pressed the woman's cheeks until her mouth opened and she put a doughnut into her mouth. “How?”

“Haa hikss hiks,” Aria wiped her tears, “I was so scared,” Said the woman while chewing slowly doughnuts inside her mouth and rubbing tears on her cheeks many times.

“Sometimes my dreams are the opposite of the real world that I experience, sometimes my dreams are just a flower of sleep for a moment and there is no meaning so don't think too much about dreams.”

Aria nodded her head many times then was shocked when her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone and she turned towards facing him.

“Haa, Suan.”

“You okay?”

Suan clasped Aria's palm and led the woman to follow her to the car parked behind Harry.

“He was weird once.”

Elbram who got out of his car.

“Be quiet you jerk.”

Suan's eyes reddened in anger, he stopped his steps and looked sharply at Elbram who was immediately stunned and threw away his face and began to walk back, carrying Aria who occasionally looked at Elbram with guilt then her body began to get into Suan's car and the woman could only look at Elbram who was still standing with Harry approaching.
