"What about this lady?" Tanya Mila showed me the perfume bottle in her hand, then I grabbed the bottle and opened the lid to smell the perfume inside.

From the scent I smelled, I did not find the same scent as the perfume that Carel used to smell. The fragrance was completely foreign and it was only the first time I smelled it, but the smell was quite good on the nose.

I closed the perfume bottle in my hand while shaking my head lethargicly, "not this one." I said before giving the bottle to Mila's hand.

"really? We've been looking for him since." Ask looks tired.

I wanted to surprise Carel with the perfume I bought, but I couldn't seem to get it. I was tired of not finding the perfume I wanted. Did I buy anything else? Or go find another perfume shop? My mind thinks of what good I can do.

I think I should buy another one. I continued in my heart when I saw Mila's tired face that made me feel guilty for lingering in search of perfume.

"If I had known the name of the perfume she used so often, I probably wouldn't have had this much trouble. I wouldn't have gotten Mila and Hans in trouble." I muttered after a long sigh, trying to reduce my fatigue a little by sighing.

"Excuse me ..," I said to the shop staff, making him walk up to me in a little haste.

"Can I buy yang—ini? Wait up!" I did not give the perfume I was holding. Then I put the perfume back in my hand and found it with a parfume bottle that caught my eye at the last second.

"Can I see that perfume?" My timpal while pointing at the parfume bottle stored on the back shelf of the cash register.

"Ah that perfume? Wait a minute, miss." Said the shopkeeper, picked up the perfume bottle I pointed at, and gave it to me.

I carefully uncorked the perfume bottle and smelled the scent I sprayed a little on my wrist, then I smelled the scent of the familiar perfume that burst into my nose.

My eyes immediately sparkled staring at the perfume bottle in my hand as I found what I was looking for, "please pack this one." I said later while giving the perfume bottle in my hand to the waiter.

After buying perfume for Carel, I finally decided to go to the ice cream shop I had seen when I entered the shopping center. I also want to take Hans and Mila to rest. They must be tired from helping me, right?

"Miss want what flavor of ice cream? Let me buy it for Miss." Mila said it surprised me a little.

"No-no let me buy it myself. You guys sit here and wait for me." Refuse me from trying to stop Mila's good intentions.

"Eh? I'm fine, miss there's no need to queue up and buy me—"

"Sit down and wait for me. This is an order understand?" Cut me down while pressing her shoulder and make her sit on the chair behind her, "You're Hans too!" I made him stay in place.

After seeing them sitting quietly, I rushed off to order three different flavored ice creams for the staff in front of me and waited for them to finish making the ice cream I ordered.

I like strawberry and chocolate, do Mila and Hans not mind the taste? I forgot to ask them what kind of ice cream they like. My mind turned towards Hans and Mila who kept watching me in their seats.

"Ahaha—ha, they keep looking at me like that. I could have a hole in my back if they kept looking at me like that." Continue muttering.

"Thank you." I replied after paying for my order before returning to Hans and Mila's place.

"Welcome back, miss." Hans and Mila's words together made me smile when I heard them.

"I forgot to ask you earlier, are you not the problem with my ice cream of choice? Chocolate and strawberry?" I asked to give them ice cream in my tray before grabbing a chair in front of me and sitting on it.

"I happen to really like the taste of chocolate and strawberries, so it doesn't matter to me miss." Mila said with a big smile, then I saw that she had grabbed an ice cream spoon in front of her and started scooping ice cream in her glass.

"I don't have a problem either. Thank you, miss." Hans continued to do the same with Mila and started to enjoy the ice cream I gave her.

Me too! I'll do it .., my mind grabs the ice cream spoon and starts scooping the ice cream in front of me before putting it in my mouth.

"... This is very good. I like it." I continued muttering as the ice cream in my mouth started to melt and the non-excessive sweetness really spoiled my tongue.

"True, the ice cream is really good. I also like it because the sweetness fits on my tongue." Graceful Mila with her happy expression that looks so obvious.

Looks like she's happy to be able to eat ice cream with me, or she's happy that the allergy bus came out with me? Well, whatever doesn't matter to me, I'm happy to be out with him anyway.

Then I grabbed back the scoop of ice cream that I had plugged into the ice cream in my glass, then started scooping the ice cream in front of me— before devouring it.

But I haven't had the chance to devour it, someone has appeared before me and made me so surprised hangers with the appearance of Carel in front of me. As I recall, I never told you my plans today. Why did we meet at this place? Is Carel secretly following me?

" Carel?" I muttered along with him who had snatched the ice cream on the spoon I was holding, even though I intended to eat it. But even first by Carel who suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Why are you here?" I asked after being aware of my surroundings and immediately stood up after sticking the ice cream spoon back in my hand on the ice cream in the glass.

"I'm looking for you." His grunts left me flustered when I heard that answer. We met and played all day yesterday, but why is he looking for me again today? Is he tired of seeing me?

This is not one day we separated, even if calculated from last night until now, we have only been separated for about eight hours. But Carel's been looking for me?

"I even called a few times. Why don't you pick up?" The next made me glance at my pants pocket and take out my phone inside to check the incoming call that Carel was referring to.

I saw there were a lot of missed calls from her, and I just realized because I hadn't taken out my phone since I was too focused on finding perfume for Carel.

"Hehe's sorry, I put the headphones into silent mode." I feel bad for the red man in front of me right now.
