Violen POV
I told Lesley a funny incident that happened to me at that time. Lesley even burst out laughing at my story. The story about me making fun of Bryn and Daren. I did have my period, but I managed to get Bryn and Daren to buy sanitary napkins, even though I carried spare pads in my bag.
"Hahahahah you're very ignorant," Lesley was still laughing.
"They are annoying. They are like Tom and Jerry. Always arguing over little things. I don't even know why they are always beside me now. Even Bryn really isn't like Bryn I've ever known. "
"Yeah, he changed a lot. Whereas he used always to bother you, right?
"I don't understand their way of thinking," I said, confused.
"But they are very kind because they want to help you like that. are you happy now?" asked Lesley
"Hmmm I don't know. I'm still adjusting myself. it just feels weird. Bryn and Daren. the two men have their own story in my life."
"Hey, that means we have to thank
Violen POVI gawk at what the man said. My brain thought hard to understand the sentence that came out of his mouth. Is this a TV show or something? My eyes swept around again; maybe a hidden camera or someone suddenly came and shouted PRANK."Violen? Violen?" repeated the man, shaking his palm in front of my eyes. As if to confirm whether I still see it or not"Yeah?" I replied, stunned, shaking my head in confusion. Situation that I can't explain. The fear that I feel is now mixed with endless confusion. I coarsely spit my saliva down my throat, which feels even drier, especially I still feel anxious. The man is wearing a navy suit. He has a thin mustache and combed hair, even though it doesn't make his face look old; from his make-up, I think he's someone who works in a company maybe."You are okay? Drink this, "said the man handing me a drink. Looks like he realized I was thirsty because my voice already sounded soft and hoarse
Violen POVNewyork has welcomed the arrival of autumn. The weather is colder. I struggled with several books to copy material. It was my habit to take notes and summarize them so that it would be easier for me to take the exams later."So now you stay at Lesley's house?" Bryn asked me"Yeah" I replied while copying the material from the book."Why?" Bryn asked again"What do you mean? I just want to stay at my best friend's house, "I replied"Ah, okay," Bryn replied"Do your practice, you know we'll be a test soon" I pleaded."Okay, okay" Bryn replied irritably, but he was still working on the material I had shown him earlier. Ah, I just realized that I haven't seen Daren all day. Daren also didn't go to class, I thought he was late, but he didn't"Where's Daren?" I asked Bryn"I don't know, I'm not his bodyguard, so how do I know" Bryn replied ignorantly."Brynnn," I complained."Wh
When I opened my eyes, what I heard was the sound of music with a soft melody. It's like a classic song. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the ceiling of the room. Yeah, I woke up in Daren's room. Realizing that I immediately checked my body, a thick blanket covered my body from feet to chest.I immediately opened the blanket and heaved a sigh of relief when I saw my body was still fully clothed. Ridiculous, I don't know what I thought. I saw Daren was not there beside me. He got up first from me."Daren, where are you?" I called out Daren's name while walking to find Daren's whereabouts. I've seen several rooms, and Daren isn't there."Daren?" call me again. I saw a hallway. Slowly I stepped and walked down the hall; when I reached the end of the hall, my eyes were stunned to see the beautiful backyard. Green grass covered the lawn. The trees thrive, right next to the tones of a perfectly decorated swimming pool. And on the other side, there is a gazebo."D
Violen POVI walked back and forth, thinking about Lesley, who had not yet returned home. I've called Lesley, and the answer she gave was, "yeah, I'm fine, calm down". The night sky has come, and Lesley still hasn't returned home. I was feeling guilty about leaving Lesley alone at the café.Dringgggg ,,,, DringgggMy cell phone rings. I hurriedly picked up the phone without looking at the screen first. Somehow I feel nervous uncertainty. My heartbeat was chaotic because of the anxiety and fear I felt"Hello, where are you, Lesley?" I asked"No, it's me, Daren.""hah?" I said, surprised to see the telephone screen. And just realized that the name on the phone screen was Daren's name."Oh yeah, sorry," I said again."What is the problem? You sound panicked.""No, I'm fine. What is wrong? Are you not feeling well anymore? "I asked"I am fine. I'm just making sure you're okay too. "Daren said
Violen POVEverything is beautiful that way. The Universe has arranged according to its provisions. I let out a sigh of relief after exiting the cramped exam room. Café Lesley has been the best escape in my life."Arghhhhhh, I feel my brain throb," I complained. It feels like I studied extra: Daren and Bryn, those two men. I've been trying to teach them many things, but they're just busy having fun."I am jealous of you?" said Lesley"Why?""You feel the taste of exams and tiredness coming home from campus.""Hey, you could have gone to college at that time. But you choose to build your own business. Now you are complaining? ""Huh, don't remind me of the past. You must have heard regret coming later, right?"Whatever you say," I said, rolling my eyes lazily."Where are Daren and Bryn," asked Lesley"I don't know. They said they would do the things men do"."Okay, then where is Noah?
Violen POVI don't know what Lesley was thinking. she took Daliah and Noah to visit her cafe. I've signaled Lesey not to do that. but Lesley ignored me and only showed me a sweet smile.I feel awkward to sit in front of a man who kidnapped me. Yeah, now Noah and I sit at a table in the café. Meanwhile Lesley and Daliah were at the checkout counter. They also chat about something I don't know."Drink up" said Noah. I looked at the cold cappuccino in front of me then answered Noah by shaking my head slowly"That drink was made by your best friend, and you still think I put poison in it?" Noah smiled at me."You, who are you?" I asked, nervously. Every now and then my eyes stole a glance at Lesley and the cafe doors. I hope Bryn and Daren come to me. Really right now I'm not comfortable even though I'm in place, I used to hang out
Violen POV"Call me if you need anything else," said Daren"Okay, see you tomorrow, bye," I said, walking into the house. When I opened the door and stepped into the house, Lesley was already standing with her hands on her hips in front of me. I thought she must have been waiting for me all this time. I glanced at the wall clock; it was 11:30 pm."Where have you been with Daren?" asked Lesley"Not from nowhere," I said, going to my room. I changed my clothes for warmer clothes."You were escorted home by Daren," said Lesley followed me into my room."Yeah. I just visited Daren's house.""Okay, but why are you just leaving? I called your name, but you kept running away," protested Lesley. This must be a problem this afternoon when I just walked out of Lesley's cafe."I'm just not comfortable there," I said; I took the fruit salad from the refrigerator, I sat on the bed, and covered my feet with a blanket. Ahh, this way, I feel w
Violen POVAwkward, shock, and flutter mingled together. Even though I still feel that feeling even now, I'm home and not with Bryn anymore. Yeah, the feeling when Bryn confessed to me. An incident that I didn't expect at all. I think of Bryn as just a friend; there are no unique feelings I keep for him."You have to be honest with him," said Lesley. I leaned against Lesley's shoulder. I feel depressed for fear of feeling guilty. I was afraid to make Bryn sad because I had no intention of making Bryn my lover."What if Bryn is sad because I rejected his love," I said in a passive voice."It was a risk for him," Lesley replied."What if he hates me?""It's also a risk because you refused.""What if he stays away from me.""It's also a risk for you.""Why, Bryn? Why not, Daren.""Because the universe wanted this to happen.""Is this what it feels like to have a love statement from someone? I
