Today is the day Ernest has been waiting for. He was finally able to make time after a long time without seeing Hellen. The girl who made him can't make him forget. She seems to have been captivated by Hellen's beauty and kindness.

Lewis, who saw Ernest being neat and handsome, seemed astonished, not usually his son traveled without any sudden need. Moreover, he even dresses up like a masculine man in general.

"Ernest, where are you going? It's so hot in the afternoon you're so neat. Usually, you're lazy in bed like a vampire who's afraid of the sun. What's wrong, my son?" Lewis asked teasing Ernest.

Ernest turned around and smiled sweetly at his father. He was so clumsy when his father caught him getting ready this afternoon.

"I want to meet someone, yeah. I mean, Hellen," he replied timidly.

"Oh ho ho, my son is going on a date. Please, don't come home too late, okay!" Lewis said giving a warning.

Ernest was quick to show respect for the father. Even that made the father chuckle because of Ernest's funny treatment.

"Yes, Sir! I won't come home late and bring good food so you don't get angry!" he said jokingly.

They laughed together at Ernest's strange behavior. This laugh, which they haven't done together in the last few years, especially after her mother's death. Immediately, Ernest's heart felt warm. He recalled the father he loved and now he's back to life. An affectionate figure and a laugh Ernest will always never forget.

— The Game of Death

Ernest was poking around his latte chocolate. He had waited 15 minutes for Hellen's arrival, but until now Hellen had not come. Last time, he said he was coming to this cafe.

To: Hellen

Hellen, I'll be right there. I've sent the location, see you later!

(Send a location)

To: Ernest

Okay, Ernest! See you later, I can't wait to see you!

Ernest could only stare blankly at his cell phone displaying their last chat message. Until now, even Ernest was still waiting for his arrival.

"Should I call him? But, I'm afraid. What if he feels rushed because of me if he's busy? Ah, never mind! I'll just wait for him!" thought Ernest.

Ernest also chose to enjoy the daytime atmosphere at the cafe. So many of them came with their families and spouses. He's the only one here sitting alone.

A long time, time goes by. From 15 minutes, it'll be an hour. From an hour, it finally ended up being three hours of Ernest here. But, he didn't even find any sign of Hellen coming.

"Where's the girl? If she can't meet, why not cancel it? It's a waste of my time, Huft I'd better go home if this happens," Ernest sighs then he moves from his seat to leave the cafe.

However, when Ernest had just stood up. Suddenly, from the main door, there was a girl who seemed to be looking for someone. Ernest felt he recognized the girl. His eyes also tried to narrow to make it clear that the girl he saw was none other than the girl he had been waiting for.

"Is that Hellen? Hellen!" exclaimed Ernest.

The girl called Ernest immediately turned around smiling when she found Ernest waving his hand in the air. Hellen rushed to run towards Ernest.

"Hellen, my God! Where have you been? Why not tell me at all?" asked Ernest worried.

"Ernest, I'm sorry. I must have disappointed you so much because you had to wait a long time. I'm sorry," said Hellen full of fear.

"I understand. I'm sure you'll come. What happened until you were so late like this?" Ernest asked curiously.

"Huft... I've been wanting to tell you. Um, can I order a drink first? I'm so tired of running around looking for you," asked Hellen looking for an excuse.

Ernest nodded. The girl then raised her hand to code the waitress to come to her. After that, she ordered a drink and while waiting for them to face each other.

"Do you want to tell me about it now?" asked Ernest.

"All right, I'll tell you the core thing straight away. My mom and dad got divorced, and earlier, when I was about to come here, there was a fight going on between us," she said.

Ernest was immediately surprised to find the bad news. He didn't think he'd get this news after a long time they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"How can that be? Isn't your family life okay all this time, Hellen? I'm so surprised to hear it," Ernest replied feeling disbelief.

"Yes, you're right. My family was originally okay. Suddenly, a seductive woman broke into my family and ruined everything. I was completely devastated, Ernest. I didn't know who to tell. Besides you're no longer with me, I felt very difficult. I couldn't live my life well. The new employee wasn't too close to me," explained Hellen.

Hellen was crying at the time. Ernest could only hold the girl's arm trying to calm her grief. Ernest knew Hellen was already very dependent on him. He even had a hard time letting go of Hellen and his work, but instead, he had to do so. Surely the man will sacrifice Hellen the only girl he loves.

"Hellen, you never be alone now. I'll be with you. I know the beginning will be very hard, but let's face it together! I'll always be next to you. Call me if you need me. I'll come to see you for sure," said Ernest, giving peace to Hellen who heard him.

"Thank you, but Ernest speaking of your new business, how can you make that big restaurant? I'm very surprised by you. Did you get a lottery or something?" said Hellen trying to distract his sadness.

"Ahaha, right! I got a lottery with pretty fantastic money, Hellen! You want to know how much money I get until I can open a restaurant?" Ernest asked proudly.

"Really? I didn't expect you to be interested in the world like that. How much did you get?!" Hellen was surprised after hearing that.
