BECAUSE OF THE ROMANCE TRAILER
Elena found herself lost in thoughts about her parents. The kissing scene kept replaying in her mind, even though she tried to erase the intimate scene. However, it continued to replay on its own, without her asking for it. Each time she remembered, Elena’s feelings became uncertain, swinging between amusement and disgust. Yet, it also sparked curiosity about the sensations. Why did her parents seem to enjoy and enthusiastically engage in such activities?
Citra and Melodi, engrossed in watching the latest Netflix movie on their phones, immediately halted their exciting activity upon noticing Elena lost in contemplation.
“El, what’s wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?” Citra said, touching Elena’s shoulder with concern.
Elena responded with a smile while shaking her head slightly. Truthfully, Elena wanted to share with her two friends what she had witnessed. However, she hesitated, fearing that revealing the details would bring shame to her parents. So, Elena decided to keep it to herself. Perhaps it would be better to talk to her older cousin Kia, who was more mature.
“Instead of daydreaming, join us in watching!” Melodi invited enthusiastically.
Today, two teachers in their class were absent. After completing the assignments given by the substitute teacher, they were free to do anything during the four empty class hours. Students took advantage of this time to engage in their favorite activities-some played basketball, read novels in the classroom, visited the library, used their phones, or simply hung out in the school cafeteria. Only a few students stayed in the class, including the three friends.
“What movie are you watching?” Elena asked curiously. Usually, her two friends watched forbidden romance films, much to her father’s disapproval.
Instantly, Citra and Melodi exchanged glances and simultaneously replied, “Definitely not Masha and The Bear!”
Their laughter echoed through the classroom, irritating Elena. The laughter seemed like mockery to her, a common occurrence she had grown used to. Seeing Elena’s irritated expression, Citra quickly apologized. They didn’t intend to tease Elena; they just found her innocent expressions amusing. At 18 years old, they already had their identity cards (KTP) neatly stored in their wallets. Getting married was perfectly acceptable, and many teenagers their age were already married with children. However, Elena, with her innocence, stood out.
“Sorry, sorry, Daddy’s girl, don’t be mad!” Citra said, still laughing.
“Alright, come join us for the movie!” Melodi invited, earning a sharp look from Citra.
“Curious now,” Elena replied, moving to sit next to Citra.
“Are you sure you want to join us?” Citra asked to confirm. Elena had never been interested in watching movies with them. Especially since they watched international films, such as Hollywood, Korean dramas, or occasionally Asian films, always interspersed with adult scenes.
“Yeah, once won’t hurt, right? Besides, I’m 18 now. Old enough,” Elena responded with a broad smile, which immediately infected her two friends.
Melodi then shifted her body, making room for Elena to sit. Then he leaned his cellphone against the pencil case on the table so that the three of them could watch freely.
It’s true that the film they watched was in the romance trailer genre. An exciting and neat story that makes them tense when fighting and shooting scenes occur. The moment the romantic scene begins between the main male and female characters.
“Oh, my stomach is ticklish. How can I be disgusted again,” said Elena when she saw the kissing scene in the film. If yesterday when he saw his parents he felt nauseous, this time there was a different feeling.
Citra and Melodi immediately turned their heads, looking at Elena with unreadable expressions. They were both surprised by Elena’s excessive expression. For Citra and Melodi, seeing a scene like that was normal, but for Elena it was clearly something extraordinary. Instead of continuing to watch, Citra and Melodi are now paying attention to Elena’s movements, who look worried. Elena also bit her lower lip nervously.
“I need to pee for a moment!”
Suddenly Elena got up and rushed out of the classroom in a hurry while Citra and Melodi were still silent as they stared at the direction Elena was leaving. Then not long after, the sound of laughter filled the class until all the students who were still there looked at the two of them in surprise.
“What’s wrong with you guys?” said one of them.
“No, it’s okay!” Citra and Melodi answered in unison while covering their mouths so they wouldn’t let anything slip.
I swear they really didn’t expect Elena to be that innocent. To be honest, they both watched adult films without their parents knowing. But that doesn’t mean they don’t violate the prohibitions imposed by their parents. Unlike Elena, who is a good child who is obedient and obedient.
“Why are you guys looking at me like that?” Elena asked when she got strange looks from her two friends.
Elena, who had just returned to class, immediately sat down and grabbed Melodi’s cell phone which had been paused. Elena was about to continue watching the film but Melodi immediately stopped her.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Stop it. We don’t want to pollute your eyes and brain, El,” answered Melodi feeling guilty.
“What the hell are you guys doing!” Elena scolded in response to the strange looks of her two friends.
Elena sulked when her two friends repeatedly apologized even though she thought they were not wrong. He’s the only one who is too sensitive to adult things. However, the debate had to end when suddenly a student from another class came in to greet the three of them.
The sudden arrival of one of the popular students in their class certainly creates excitement among the female students who have been eyeing him for a long time. The student stepped towards the table where Elena and her two friends were.
“Let’s watch tonight El!” invite the student from class 12-A Language named Dirga.
Citra and Melodi’s lips immediately dropped when they heard directly Dirga’s invitation to Elena on a date. Who doesn’t know Daddy Elena? All the students who had approached Elena gave up after coming from Elena’s house. Does Dirga intend to test his courage?
“Eh, it’s just like me, Dir, you’ll break your bones if you dare ask Elena out,” said Citra, offering herself.
Dirga just smiled then said again, “You want that, right El?”
“This guy is really reckless!” Melody chimed in. But Dirga was not afraid in the slightest. Actually, Dirga has liked Elena for a long time. But he withdrew regularly after hearing stories from his friends that Elena was his father’s daughter.
And because they would graduate soon, Dirga deliberately expressed his feelings. Even if Daddy Elena gets angry, Dirga is ready because he wants to have a serious relationship with his idol. Not just ordinary dating. Dirga wants to take their relationship seriously and have a purpose. So, it doesn’t matter if their parents find out. But of course Dirga hasn’t thought about getting married yet. They must continue their education first. Moreover, Dirga knows that Elena is not from an ordinary family.
“Okay!”
Elena’s short reply successfully surprised all the students there.
