Aster Veren
Episode 117's

- Esther

I exhale as deeply as possible after yawning because I can't help but feel sleepy when I feel the sunlight that warms my body. The sunlight that entered through the classroom window as the curtains covering the window were opened as wide as possible by the person who first entered the class this morning.

"If you know this, I won't be staying up for two days." I murmured as I sat on the table, and bowed my head over my palm. Looking for a comfortable position before facing my face towards the sun that has highlighted my facial skin.

The warmth ..., my inner self while closing my eyes, feeling the warmth on my face.

"I hope their problems are solved well." I still closed my eyes, recalling what had happened over the past two days.

Kalea and Tia really help Nadin as much as they can to improve the relationship of Nathan and Nadin, the various ways they do so that the engagement can continue. I also had time to think about what I could help Nadin with, but nothing. There's nothing I can help but pray for her kindness.

I also can not participate in their talks, but every time I always take the time to read romantic novels, collect all the material and learn it so that it can be useful at times like this. But there was nothing useful I could propose for their plan.

"Finally it was Kalea and Tia who made plans for Nadin," I muttered after sighing heavily, remembering how useless I was now.

Hah~ is reading a book not enough? Why can't I talk about that kind of relationship with them? I also wanted to participate in their conversation, but why couldn't I? My mind patted my head gently before feeling the gust of wind that gently swept across my facial skin.

"I thought you were sleeping, it was just lazing around." Carel's voice along with the shadow of his body that blocked the sunlight on my face, even my busy hand patting my head was firmly gripped.

I quickly opened my eyes and found Carel standing in the way of the sunlight, as I thought, "You can't pat your head like that!" His exclamation made me snort angrily as my daydreaming time was interrupted by him, plus he purposely blocked the sunlight I was enjoying.

"What's with your face? Why is it getting worse?" Her continued asking made me frown in annoyance when I saw her sarcastic smile.

"You want to get me into a fight?" I said back to ask while releasing my hand that she clutched forcefully.

"You've been flirting with Aster, huh Carel? Every meeting always invites him to fight," said Teo made me look at him who was sitting behind me. I saw that he had a sweet smile, a smile I never liked about him. Just looking at it pissed me off many times more than before.

"Tumben you're lazing around like that, your face looks tired too. Did you sleep well?" He continued, along with my body that was already behind him, trying to take my eyes off his annoying smile.

"Is something bothering you?" Typhoon Carel asked.

Did I tell them, huh? Maybe they can help me give them their views on Nadin and Nathan's problems. Then who knows I can think of a good thing to help Nadin, right? My mind considers the answer I will give them before telling the core of the problem.

"Aye huh?" Carel surprised me, how could he guess that fast? "Say!" He continued after sighing tiredly and leaning his body against the window sill beside my seat, blocking the sunlight I had enjoyed.

"Ka–you're so annoying huh?" I muttered feeling annoyed at the level of sensitivity he had.

"You won't be able to lie to me, I told you, right? Your face is easy to read." Obviously it made it hard for me to swallow my saliva, when I was just thinking of lying to him a little bit. But he managed to guess my thoughts again.

"Right, your expression is very easy to read and it looks funny. Especially when you're surprised when someone else manages to guess what happened to you, your expression is different." Teo continued still with his sweet smile, looking like he was teasing me.

"Hee ... be–really?" I muttered feeling the heat on my face when I heard Teo's explanation. I didn't even know my face could give off as many easy-to-read expressions as the two children said.

Although I often hear it from Carel that my face is easy to read.

"So, what's bothering you?" Carel's question brought me back to the topic of conversation he had made for me.

"That's, actually ...."

***

"Hee... So what I saw outside of that, they were talking about the clarity of their relationship huh?" My murmur could not hold my smile.

"So yes ...." I made Aster look at me sharply.

Wh why? She mad? My mind wondered with her expression that suddenly changed as I smiled. I don't know if I feel satisfied when I hear their relationship is problematic, especially Nadin always behaved badly to Aster right? So I feel like this is the exact response from what he did in the past.

It's also great that Nathan can decide such a big deal to end his relationship with Nadin when he finds out that she was also involved in Kalea's crimes against Aster in the past, then he also made Kalea suffer for the last few years. My mind praised the man's actions without me noticing.

"So their relationship is in trouble?" Teo's question made Aster nod in lethargy.

"You? It's weird!" I said as my eyes met his purple bead.

"Ap–apa? No, I'm not weird! Why are you following me around saying I'm weird?" The suspicion looks upset.

"Who says you're weird besides me?"

"Nadin and Kalea!" Grunts while throwing my face away, avoiding my gaze. "What is so strange? I felt normal, "he continued grumbling while puffing his cheeks, I hadn't seen such an upset expression in a long time. Looks very adorable.

"Pft ...," I muttered trying to hold back my laughter as I imagined her cheek exploding as I pricked it with my index finger.

"You? Don't laugh at me so secretly!" The excitement grew even more irritated and started to hit my hand that I had folded over my chest.

"Yes, you're weird! Isn't that Teo?"

"No, I'm normal!" His kill.

"You're normal not to care about other people's problems, let alone people who have hurt you in the past." Clearly Teo made me nod steadily, agreeing to his words.

"I have forgiven them, and again .. Do I have to repay them before deciding to be friends with them? If I take revenge, will the problem be solved? No right? Because revenge can bring new revenge, then the problem will never be solved." Clearly in an up and down voice before he finally spoke in a low tone.

I who heard him could say nothing but look at him proudly, without even realizing my right hand had grabbed the top of his head and stroked him as gently as possible. "Well, you're like this, aren't you?" I muttered while showing my big smile to her as our eyes met again.

"Ekhem!" Dehem Teo made me immediately let go of my hand from the top of Aster's head, "if you want to make out can go somewhere else? You can be the new gossip material later." Teo continued to make me pay attention around me, it turns out that the residents of Aster and Teo classes began to fulfill their classes.

"Ap–what do you mean to make out?" Aster protested with a red hue on his face.

"Fuck the gossip, I don't care! I'll go first Aster, we'll have lunch together. I'll bring you your favorite food, I guarantee you'll like it. So, see you later!" I said before I walked out of their class, I saw Aster couldn't say anything because I didn't give him a chance to reply.

He looked very cute, my inner being when he saw the puzzled expression on his face.

Then I stepped my foot towards the exit when I saw the figure of Sean and his friend entering the classroom just past me. Our eyes also had a chance to meet face to face, but he quickly shifted his gaze while putting on a joyous expression, "morning Aster!" He said hello to Aster, I don't like him inexplicably.

Is it because he looks bluntly showing his love for Aster? Just piss me off!
