I was still coughing a little when Sebastian's hand patted the back of my body slowly, "slow down if you want to drink," he said once again in a worried tone.
"I drank the water slowly ... just ... I was shocked by what you said."my voice must sound very sad or maybe my face also looks very silly? I don't know, I never imagined it would happen like this.
"Here, first clean the water on your shirt."Sebastian was still holding the tissue he was carrying. I complied with his request. After wiping the traces of water dripping on my clothes, I focused back to ask Sebastian.
"You ... can you please explain in detail about what you said earlier."
"Which part?"Sebastian smiled nosily. Makes me feel even more nervous.
"Please, don't pretend you don't know ..."no wonder he was waiting for us to finish eating. It turns out ... because he didn't want to deprive me of my appetite. If he had spoken in the middle of our meal as I suggested, I could be sure that I would not have finished my dinner.
"Um, about tomorrow's plans or--" I cut him off.
"Geez! About how you knew I was ... is ... Rose."I said with a long sigh.
"Aah, that. Um, actually an accident."Sebastian smirked," all because of the smell of perfume you wear."
"Perfume?"I frowned.
"The last time we met in the hospital, I showed you to the front gate of the hospital exit ..."Sebastian looked at me with eyes that looked very sad. "All of a sudden, it was like I smelled the scent of someone I really missed and wanted to see ..."
Suddenly I blushed, smelling someone he missed, did he missed me?
Come on Raveline! Realize this is discussing a very important and super serious issue! All this concerns your future and your good name as El!
Isn't that if Sebastian already knows, you are Rose, it's the same as him already knowing that you are a woman whose job is to be a seducer of men!
Suddenly my body felt cold and stiff.
"Why? What's wrong?"Sebastian is now looking at me with confused eyes. "Is anyone sick? It must be because you choked just now."Sebastian got up and walked over to me. His face looks anxious. His hand quickly reached out to hold my forehead, I hurriedly dodged,"no, not really! I'm fine."
"But suddenly your face looks very pale El ..."
"Maybe a glut effect ..."I sigh.
Making the figure of the young man who was still standing in front of me slightly grimace,"you sure, this is a glut effect?"
I didn't dare look at Sebastian's face. It feels in my heart so very inconsolable, between confused, surprised and also happy? I don't know what it's called. It was a relief, because Sebastian knew that Rose and Raveline were the same person. I felt a little relieved and scared. I'm afraid he's going to spread it all on campus.
"Me, i confused ... start asking where ...."
"Because of the glut you got confused? Is that so?"Sebastian kept looking at me.
"Yes I was,but confused right different places. Fullness in the stomach. Confused in the head."
Sebastian chuckled,"Oh, that's it ... he then sat back down in his place, " so what do you want to ask?"
"Ehm, can you explain in a very detailed simple way, why is it that just because of the smell of perfume you can be so sure that I am the person you are looking for?"
"Of course I can explain in detail. It's not just because of the perfume. There are many things that point as a clue that you are actually the masked figure that I have been looking for."
"Seriously? That's how you found me?"
"Why did you reject me ... as Rose, I mean, why did you reject me?"
"Hey, I asked you what, you answered back."I choked.
"Yes! Seriously. I've been desperately searching for Rose for the past few weeks. I didn't sleep well because I missed Rose."Sebastian looked at me intently, his eyes looking very curious."Could you please explain in more detail ... why did you refuse me twice?"
"Oh God! Don't be so naive! Because I'm not a good girl. That's why I rejected you. I just don't suit you."
Sebastian half-stunned looked at me. "Huh? Then, do you think I'm a good boy?"
"Well, I don't know, but I'm sure that Rose's figure doesn't match yours. "I replied in a serious tone. "for me, Rose is just an artificial figure. You and Rose can't be together. You're too good for a figure like Rose."
"Why is that? Don't be so sure I'm good. Sebastian sneered, "What about El? Are you also a member of El?"
"Oh no! Raveline is me, as Raveline I don't want to have a serious relationship. I don't like commitment!"
"You like me don't you?"all of a sudden Sebastian cut me off," as El ..."
As Raveline ... to be honest, I did like you, but I knew myself enough, enough for me to harbor my feelings. The funny thing is, when I was trying to forget the figure of Mr. B, I even met a young man named Sebastian. Nothing else and it's not ... it's Mr. B that I like.
"You yourself ... have you known Mr. B since when?"Sebastian asked seriously.
"Since the night we met at an evening event on campus."I muttered slowly. Sebastian lowered his head trying to remember the events during the introduction to college.
"Aaah, the night you got lost that far away? Right?"Sebastian smiled after successfully remembering the incident when he first entered college. "What makes you think I'm Mr. B?"
"Your neck ... and your face of course," I answered briefly and confidently. Because I was so sure, at that time I immediately recognized him as soon as I saw his neck and face.
Sebastian laughed softly,"my neck? What happened to my neck, El?"
"Um, that's a secret ... what's clear is that I could tell right away that you were Mr. B when we first met."
"Oh my God, you're really great. It's not like I need more time to get to know someone."
"So ... Now what?"
"What Is El?"Sebastian stroked slowly his hair that fell to the side of his face.
"Yeah ... About your plan?"I played the tip of the straw in front of me. Sebastian deliberately ordered fresh iced lemon tea. Given all the food menus available and served out of nothing left.
"Ehm ...don't forget, you promised, that no matter what happens you will still agree to help me."
"Yes, but that doesn't mean like now. It's not in the plan, you know
.."I took a deep breath,"I didn't expect you know I was Rose."
"Of course, the plan is still going according to what we have agreed."Sebastian sounded like he was afraid that I would refuse his request.
"Tomorrow after the lecture is over, I will directly pick you up and Amelie. We can start the plan."
