"Aahhh...." Brian screamed in surprise. Which made Elena turn to him. Brian also turned his head and looked at Elena with a mixture of embarrassment. To cover it up, Brian pretended to sneeze.

"Aahhaaatciiii." A very far-fetched sneeze sound. Elena's eyes stared probingly but a second later she looked back at the screen. Continue watching the show. Brian said to himself, damn it. That's so embarrassing. How can he scream like a sissy or a coward. While Elena who sat beside him looked much more relaxed and there was no sign of fear. Was Elena not at all afraid to see that horrible and scary ghost figure.

​​

The film continues. And when the ghost appears to commit murder terror to the players. Many in the audience screamed again. This time Brian also almost screamed again, but he quickly covered his mouth and turned his head to the side. Looking at Elena who smiled mockingly at him. Damn, really embarrassing. He looked scared in front of Elena. That's really embarrassing. This time Brian straightened up and watched seriously, he swore he would never scream in terror again. He didn't want his dignity as a brave man to fall in Elena's eyes.

They watched the movie again. And this time the ghost came with a terror that was so terrible it made Brian's hair stand on end. A touch on his arm made Brian jump and startled. He looks at Elena who touches his hand. Really, brian was watching so seriously that he could overreact like that.

"If you're scared, you can hug my arm." Elena said by extending her right arm. Brian could clearly see the corners of Elena's lips were trembling with laughter. Damn.

"No need." Brian answered briefly.

"Are you sure?" Elena asked again with a big smile. Brian just kept quiet and went back to watching.

Brian never expected that the closer to the end the ghost became more and more terrifying and created a terrible terror. Makes everyone tense up. And....

"Arghhh." The screams of all the spectators this time were so loud because the ghost was really scary and shocking. Even Brian couldn't help it. His left hand even subconsciously grabbed Elena's palm which was lying on the armrest of the chair.

Elena whose hand was held by Brian was slightly surprised. But he didn't take the hand away. He felt very amused when he recalled Brian's words and natural reactions at this moment. Elena never knew that the president of a large company who always looked cool and handsome had a funny side like this. He is afraid of watching horror movies.

The film continues with the ghosts being exterminated and there are only two survivors in the terror of the ghosts. After seeing the ending on the big screen, Brian could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Already completed. Finally the film ended to make many audience relieved. Especially Brian.

The theater lights shone brightly again and everyone started preparing to leave. Including Elena and Brian. They walked out of the cinema.

"Come on, go to that cafe and have an evening snack." Said Elena who pointed to a cafe outside the cinema. Brian just nodded and followed Elena's wishes.

They just finished ordering food and drinks. After the waiters left, Elena kept staring at Brian's face. He really wanted to laugh out loud when he remembered Brian's fearful action while watching the movie.

"What's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something wrong on my face?" Brian asked who felt a little uncomfortable from Elena's strange gaze.

"No, there's nothing strange on your face." Elena replied.

"Then why are you looking at me with that look?" Brian asked again. He found the look in Elena's eyes very strange, he looked like he was being stared at after being caught doing something embarrassing.

"Ah I just feel ticklish." Elena replied with a smile on her tiny lips. It felt like Elena's lips were trembling with the urge to laugh. But he was sure that if he laughed at Brian, he would be mad at him.

"What do you mean?" Brian asked not understanding.

"I'm amused by your behavior while in the theater earlier." Elena's words made Brian realize the embarrassing thing he had done. Previously he had said that if Elena was afraid to watch the horror movie, she could take cover and hug his arm. But when the horror film played, it was not Elena who was frightened but herself, Brian fernandez. Really, if fredy knew about this, he would be laughing at it all day long.

"If you're afraid of horror movies, why did you agree when I chose that film." Elena said again. He didn't say anything about Brian screaming and holding his hand tightly. Because that would embarrass Brian a lot.

"Actually I'm not afraid of watching horror movies. It's just that the ghost in the movie was really scary." Brian replied with an excuse that sounded like a lie.

"Are you sure?" Elena asked with a raised eyebrow and a look of disbelief.

"Okay, I have to admit I'm a little scared of horror movies." Brian answered honestly with a slightly heated face. But, even so, Elena was still eager to tease Brian.

" Only slightly?" Elena teased again the noble laughed. He really couldn't hold it in anymore, Brian's face with an embarrassed expression was rare for Elena to see.

"Okay. I'm afraid of horror films. That's why I rarely watch them and prefer action films." Brian finally said.

"Ah, I'm really embarrassing tonight." Brian cursed with annoyance mixed with embarrassment which made Elena laugh even harder. Brian wanted to get angry and reprimand Elena who was laughing loudly. But, that intention stopped when Brian saw how beautiful and charming Elena was when she laughed out loud like that. It was very rare for Brian to see. So, is tonight completely a shameful and unlucky night? Like not so. Brian smiled gently and reached out his hand to tuck a strand of Elena's hair that had fallen down the side of her face behind her ear.

"I think I'm willing to lose my pride just to see you laugh out loud happily like this." Brian's dreadlocks and behavior made Elena's laugh stop. His face heated up with embarrassment and his heart beat very fast. Elena had to admit that she had fallen in love just from such small talk. And they dinner together before came back to mansion.

...

Today Elena is off work. She relaxes by accompanying Dean to play. The handsome baby is now crawling more actively. Time really goes by fast.

When Elena was busy playing with Dean, the mansion had not rung yet. Someone's coming. Elena was about to get up to open the door for the guest. But aunty Yanti had already walked towards the living room.

"Let auntie open the door." Say yanti without ever waiting for Elena's reply.

Elena just nodded and returned to accompany Dean to play. The baby is now able to sit up on his own and crawl.

A few moments later the aunt came back inside with a large box in her hand.

"What's wrong, sis?" Elena asked curiously when aunty Yanti stood nearby

"Someone sent you this gift box." Aunty yanti said while handing a fairly large box tied with a red ribbon to Elena.

"Of whom?" asked Elena who was holding the big box.

"Auntie doesn't know either. The man who delivered it just said there was a package for you. Then he left after giving the box to aunty." Obviously aunty Yanti again.

"Oh, I see." Elena started looking for the name of the sender who had sent the gift to her.

"But there's no sender's name here." Elena said a little confused.

"Maybe it's from Mr. Brian." Aunty yanti said reminding Elena. Making the woman think that it might be true considering that a few days ago Brian also surprised her by sending a bouquet of flowers to comfort with that thought, Elena started to untie the ribbon wrapped around the box and slowly opened the box. A second later Elena screamed in surprise as her body jumped and reflexive hands threw the box away. Elena's scream startled Dean and yanti. Made the baby cry loudly, and the confused aunty Yanti.

Aunty Yanti was surprised and immediately asked, "What's wrong Elena?" Ask aunty Yanti

"Th-that's in that box..." Elena stammered and couldn't finish her words her body was still shaking with fear and disgust. What the hell, why did he receive such a package.
