During the weekend particularly on Sunday, all the desserts and drinks were fully prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Summer specially for Oriana's friends and teachers. Even though Mr. Summer invited some of his friends and their family, priority was given more to people invited by Oriana. Since it was her first time inviting people to their house. Almost all the guests arrived at the party but Oriana eagerly waited for Eleo's arrival. After some time, Eleo arrived at the party with his aunt. His aunt apologized for their delay and blamed Eleo for it. However, it was the aunt's fault for not being aware of the time for the party and reminded by Eleo that they needed to leave the house to attend it.
Even at the party, Eleo brought his iPad so that he could answer his parent's call. He sat at the most hidden table so that he won't be noticed by others. Unfortunately, Oriana who went inside the house noticed by her friends regarding Eleo's arrival appeared in front of Eleo. She even brought some desserts for him and sat on the same table with him. Eleo was frustrated with her presence and tried to ignore her and kept looking at his phone. Oriana noticed that Eleo was avoiding her and had to leave the table once her mother called her.
After an hour suddenly Eleo got a call on his iPad. He was truly excited but it turned out his aunt called him. She wanted to leave the party with him so she informed Eleo to meet at the car parking in a while. Eleo walked towards the car park and saw Oriana standing at the entrance of the house. She stood there to send off her guests and saw Eleo passing by her. She waved and even said goodbye to him but Eleo only glared at her like he didn't know her. After reaching his home, Eleo went straight to his room and lied on his bed with his iPad. He continued to wait for his parents to call and he even skipped his dinner. He realized that he sent a message to his parents early in the evening and browsed his messenger whether they replied to it or not. There was no sign of their reply, so he decided to call them directly.
To his surprise, the first thing he heard was “Hello, who is this?” from his father who answered the call without looking at the caller's name.
Even though Eleo was sad, he still answered his father “I'm Eleo, dad”.
Mr. Horus was surprised to hear his son's name and asked the reason why he called him. Eleo figured out that his father forgot about calling him today but he didn't mention it and talked normally with his dad. Then, Eleo's mother had some conversation with him and told him that they were busy today due to a sudden change in their plan and they need to prepare for the meeting tomorrow. They ended the call after talking a while with Eleo and said they would call again once they were free.
It was almost 11 pm, Eleo staring blankly at the sky filled with stars. He can stargaze from his bedroom through his transparent roof installed in his room. Every time Eleo feels empty, he will grab the remote to open the ceiling below the roof of his bedroom and stargaze. While he looked at the sky, his tears flowed through his cheeks without him realizing and suddenly a ‘ding’ sound was heard from his handphone. Eleo immersed in deep thought while staring at the sky and completely ignored his surroundings.
After thirty minutes, he became conscious and took his handphone to see the time. At almost midnight, then he saw a message notification on his phone screen. At first, he taught to read it in the morning but he changed his mind and opened the message.
It said, “Have you fallen asleep?”
He didn't save that number and was curious who messaged him, so he asked “May I know who this is?”
Since Eleo was too sleepy he slept after sending that message.
