Aster Veren
Episode 236's

- Esther

"Truly boring ...," I muttered while lazing in the greenhouse alone.

Yes, today Dean and Sarah have returned to where they came from with a delivery by Hans. I went to Mr. Alterio's residence again with Victor's uncle this morning, and Arsel and Khael's uncles didn't come to visit either.

victor's uncle was Kalea's father, he replaced Uncle Rigel's duties to become his father's assistant. I heard they're taking care of a pretty big job, so they've been very busy lately.

Uncle Arsel is also in his busy period because he just returned to his job. People who like the design of uncle's clothes began to flocked to meet uncle to ask for a beautiful dress.

Khael also began to get busy with his early education because just in case. Well, once he grows up, he can be Veren's successor and if that happens, maybe I've found something new that I can do. What is clear is that the current leader of the family is still held by the father.

It's not that I don't believe I can be the next leader of the Veren family. But when I get married, maybe I won't be able to hold that position again. Although it's too early to think about it, but from the history I've learned. A married daughter will follow her husband and receive a surname from the male family.

"You're here? I've been looking everywhere for you." Carel's voice surprised me, I never even thought we'd talk this fast after the embarrassing incident last night.

"Ca—Carel? Why are you looking for me?" I asked in shock, I was really stuck with my shadow last night. I can't rule out what happened when we kissed last night, which is really embarrassing.

Is Carel not ashamed? Am I the only one who feels like a fool?

"Let's go!" Take it while grabbing my left hand, making me rise from my sitting position. Then Carel slowly began to pull me, making me have to follow him.

"Where are we going?" Ask me again trying to find out the contents of his mind that I can not guess it.

"You'll know when we get to."

"You're me now!" My grunts don't like to be curious.

"No, if I tell you right now his name's not a surprise anymore." Refuse to slow down his pace, adjusting his pace to my slightly slow footsteps.

"Surprise?"

So this kid is planning something to surprise me? What surprise did he prepare for me? Not strange things, right?

"I was surprised by your appearance." My Ketus recalled Carel's arrival that shocked me in the greenhouse.

"Eh? I surprised you?"

"Yes, you surprise me every time you see me."

"really? I didn't know you were surprised by that." He stopped his steps in front of a new bike the first time I saw.

"This is your bike?" I asked to glance at Carel who was putting on his helmet.

"Yes, I bought it a few months ago."

"So now you're always going with the bike?"

"Yes, it sucks to keep going with the driver. Well wear this." He answered while putting the other helmet on my head.

***

"Well, this is really fun. I was riding a motorcycle for the first time." I muttered while hugging Carel who was driving her bike while I enjoyed the scenery around me.

Although nothing had changed from the scene I usually saw from behind the window, the difference was really huge. I could even see the tall buildings more clearly until I had to look up to find the end.

"You like it?" Carel asked turned to his motor rearview at a glance.

"Yes, it's really quite incredible." My answer is really excited.

"Haha, great. I thought you wouldn't like it."

"No, I really like it you know!"

"Yes, that sounds obvious from your voice. Then we'll also be at our destination soon." His speech made me rethink the place we were going because Carel didn't tell me the least about it.

Soon Carel lowered his speed and turned towards the amusement park. "This surprise?" I asked then to make Carel laugh.

"Why? No like?"

"It's not that, it's just that I don't think we're going to this place right now." Obviously I was at the same time as the bike we were riding. Then I carefully got off the bike and Carel immediately helped me take off the helmet on my head.

"Where do you think we're going today?" He asked after removing the helmet on his head.

"The place is quite far away because we go on a motorcycle."

"Where is that far enough?"

"don't know. I was just expecting it, after all riding a motorcycle to a faraway place was quite fun. Moreover, it's the first time I've ever rode that bike with you." Obviously before I showed my big smile.

"Hmm .. Then we'll go somewhere far next time. For now we just play in this place first yes, besides the main surprise I have not shown." He said with a faint smile as he grabbed the top of my head before getting off his bike.

"There's still a surprise?"

"Of course." His reply really made my heart beat quickly as it could not imagine what more surprise he would show me.

Come to think of it, aren't we currently on a date? My mind when it is too late to realize my current situation.

I saw that my hand had been held by Carel mesuki in the amusement park area after giving the entrance to the gatekeeper there.

"Woah I'm really nervous right now." I muttered while feeling my own heartbeat. Then I lyrically the figure of Carel walking beside me with a straight forward look, looking handsome. He also looks like a very reliable man.

Yes, although the reality is indeed reliable, it cannot be doubted anymore. Especially when remembering my days with him at the academy.

The academy? I just remembered, didn't this kid go to the academy? Isn't the vacation time long? My mind wondered with the figure of Carel who had always been in the Veren residence, never seeing him go to the academy.

"What's wrong?" Carel's question surprised me. I quickly shook my head to answer her question. Although I wanted to ask him that, but I decided to ask later because I did not want to ruin the atmosphere that Carel had built since we left the house.

"So which rides do we want to try?" He asked again, confusing me to decide.

"I don't want to ride scary rides." I broke up when I remembered the day Sean asked me to play extreme rides that day.

"Hmm... Then what about the merry-go-round?"
