REBIRTH | C

CHAPTER 15 : CEMBURU.

Gadis itu sedang menata rias wajahnya dengan solekan yang nipis sahaja dan dia mengenakan lipstick bewarna pink, sesuai dengan kulitnya yang putih mulus itu. Rambutnya diikat dengan half-bun style.

Tiba-tiba Amy Wilton masuk ke dalam kamar itu.

"Wow! You look so beautiful, Aurora!." Puji Amy Wilton.

Eve Aurora tersenyum.

"It's just a simple, Amy."

"Less is better, you know." Balas Amy Wilton lalu duduk di atas katilnya sambil memandang ke arah Eve Aurora yang masih sedang bersiap-siap itu.

"Aurora, do you find any weird things on Ryeo lately?." Soal Amy Wilton.

"Nope. I didn't see him lately. Why?."

"It's just weird. He seems like he jealous."

"Jealous?."

"Yup. About you and our guest, Carlisle."

Eve Aurora ketawa.

"... Me and Carlisle Reith? You must be joking, Amy. I don't have a special relationship with him. And Ryeo? It's nonsense for Ryeo to feel jealous."

"But you and Carlisle seem a match for each other, Aurora. It's just a perfect combination!."

"It's ridiculous, Amy. Besides, he's like my brother to me."

Amy Wilton ketawa.

"Mmm.. If you change your mind later, I'll be the first person who's supporting you, Aurora. Remember that."

Eve Aurora ketawa mendengarkan kata-kata Amy Wilton itu. Dia dan Carlisle Reith? Dia gelengkan kepalanya.

"So, where do you taking him for dinner?."

"I didn't know yet. You have a better suggestion?."

"Mmm.. I suggest you to go to Restaurant-café Van den Hogen. It has outdoor seating with a magnificent view over the sea. It serves great cocktails and vegan dishes. And it's my favourite restaurant, I recommended!."

"I have to try it! Thanks Amy. By the way, how do I look?." Eve Aurora memusingkan tubuhnya dihadapan Amy Wilton.

"Pretty as always!." Jawab Amy Wilton tersenyum.

"Oh, Amy! Thank you. I'll try to be back before 11 pm."

Amy Wilton ketawa.

"Aurora, you're not child anymore. You can coming back anytime you want, but please be safe." Pesan Amy Wilton.

Gadis itu ketawa. Disebabkan dia sudah terbiasa dengan peraturan keluarganya, jadi ke mana-mana sahaja, dia akan memastikan untuk pulang sebelum jam 11 malam.

"Alright, Amy." Mereka berdua ketawa.

...

Ryeo Matthias memandang ke arah laut itu sambil memegang botol beer. Fikirannya menerawang mengingati Eve Aurora dan tetamu lelaki tersebut, entah mengapa dia merasa agak emosi apabila mengingati hal itu.

Dia meneguk beer itu.

"I'm jealous?." Dia tertawa sinis, lalu meneguk beer itu lagi.

Deeply breath.

Eve Aurora tersenyum sambil berjalan-jalan menyelusuri jalan menuju ke arah Restaurant-café Van den Hogen, bersama-sama dengan Carlisle Reith.
