BUT IT IS YOUR HEART

Vino eagerly waited for Seina for one or two days, which seemed like an eternity.

Vino purposefully skipped school because he was lazy and had nobody to talk to. Elan purposely summarized the information for Seina, who had missed the lesson, in the meanwhile.

Elan kept getting in touch with Seina, telling her that she needed to study some stuff before returning. Seina has plans in place for the upcoming class.

Elan spends hours on the phone with Seina and frequently uses video conversations to ensure that Seina comprehends what he is teaching.

However, since Rita offered Elina directions and told her that love is not something to have, Elina did not anticipate more from Elan.

Rita told Elina, "Find your love later when you are working and have the perfect career," which made her very aware of her feelings for Elan.

Elina and Elan made an effort to comprehend Rita's speech. Rita goes into great detail about why their names are so similar. To ensure that their children would get along and grow up to be brothers who could support one another, their parents purposefully gave them similar names.

"Sey... When did you return to this place? It's the third day tomorrow "Elan said in the afternoon.

"Tonight," yelled Seina.

Elan asked softly, "Are you sure your father is okay?

Seina yelled, "I've done it," from the opposite side.

"Okay, I'll pick you up later."

Seina first declines Elan's offer to pick her up, but Seina eventually agrees after Elan makes his point.

"Do you not care Lan? When do I get there tonight? 11 o'clock or so."

"No issue," Elan said.

Seina grinned, knowing that her love had been returned. Elan was unwilling to waste Seina once more.

"It's still at that time, so I'll set an alarm later to prevent being late. I won't be going to bed in the afternoon and I don't feel tired," said Elan.

***

Rain has washed the asphalt throughout the chilly night. Elan uses his car to escape uncomfortable situations as he gets ready to pick up Seina. Additionally, Seina, who is still young enough to go out at night, is with Elan.

"Lan, what are you doing? at this hour of the evening?" Rita shrieked while glancing at the wall-mounted clock, which showed that it was already after 10:00.

Elan said, "Want to pick up Seina bun."

Elan gave his mother his arm so she could ask for permission. "Is Lan awake yet? What if you're acting inappropriately while driving?" Rita cried.

"However, I had promised Seina Bun that I would pick her up from the station."

Even though it is almost midnight and the air is bone-chillingly cold, Rita still won't let Elan leave. Rita is concerned that her little child won't get into any problems while traveling.

Rita yelled, "Come on, mother, it's quite late." 

"The mom...."  Elan looked glum as he grasped Rita's hand.

Rita yelled, "If you don't want to, mum still won't let you go outside."

"Does Mom feel for Seina? She is a bunny woman. There by yourself?"

Rita yelled, "Later, I'll phone Seina to place an internet job order."

"Mom', Mom,' refrain. Have you promised Elan? Please?" Elan pleaded with his palms together.

"Yes, provided you also come to pick up Seina, I'll permit it."

Elan was compelled to heed his mother's orders because there was no other option.

Elan picks up Seina that evening along with his mother. Elan seemed to be very upset with his mother along the journey.

"Is your mum finally ready to join you? It appears to be a child of a mother," Elan complained subtly.

Elan's words reached Rita, but Rita was focused on the road and the gloomy street. Rita only grinned as she listened to Elan's constant grumbling from the moment they departed until she reached the station.

Elan got in touch with Seina and asked where the train she was on was.

Elan, who spoke with Seina on the phone multiple times, said, "How far are you now?"

Seina said, "I'll be here in a minute," as she looked in the direction where she had heard the news that the journey to her place will soon come to an end.

When Seina emerged from the station and spotted Elan, he grinned and waved amiably.

Seina went up to Elan, "Hey. Sorry for the delay. Have you been holding out for very long?" Seina yelled.

No, he answered, "just now."

When Seina noticed Elan was silent and not walking with her, she remarked, "Let's go home," and started to walk. When Seina turned around, she was taken aback by Elan's demeanor.

Seina went back to Elan "Why halt? Have you missed anything?" Seina yelled.

"It is", Elan replied.

Seina was taken aback by Elan's story; what more was she expecting?

Seina was shocked to find her mother among them as Rita suddenly entered the room.

"Sorry for the delay. The line was extremely long because the restroom was filled," Rita, who appeared quite worn out, said.

"Mom... W... Do you exist?" Seina, who was taken aback by Rita's entrance, said.

"Oh, Elan didn't say," he cried out.

"Yes Sey, I brought my mum," Elan answered with a grimace as Seina turned to face him.

Seina didn't inquire further about Elan's mother's presence since she could tell by the look on Elan's face that his mother didn't permit Elan to leave the house so late at night.

"Now let's leave. It is late," Rita yelled.

Elan texted Seina, "Sorry, Sey, mum wants to come along," in response to her message.

Seina grinned as she stared at her phone's display. Seina laughed even harder when he noticed Elan's angry face since he was unable to control his laughing.

***

Vino was waiting for Seina in front of the fence of her boarding house because she left late.

"Oh, the ghosts"   Seina was startled and on the verge of jumping; fortunately, the telephone she was holding did not fall. She was horrified to see Vino there already.

Vino clapped and laughed as he welcomed Seina.

"Vin, oh my God! Not to worry!" Seina yelled.

Vino said, "I miss Seina."

Seina exclaimed, still in disbelief, "You know I'm already here."

"For sure, yes. from several sources," said he.

Even though Seina did not specifically state that she would arrive on the same day, Seina did inform Mrs. Fina that she only had three days.

"Be quick! I want to utterly enrage you," Vino yelled, looking over at his motorcycle that was in front of Seina.

Seina bit her lower lip and mockingly yelled, "Scary..." at Vino.

Seina sprinted up Vino's motorcycle as he glared even harder.

***

Parked Vino was getting angrier and angrier at Seina as she fled without waiting for him. Seina knew what Vino would say because she had anticipated his saying a lot of things.

"Vin, thanks for the journey!" Seina lost her cool and bolted from Vino.

"Wait, wait!"

Vino locked his motorcycle and placed it in the parking lot. It wasn't just any student who parked the motorcycle there haphazardly; it had to be neat and follow the laws so that Vino would have enough time to pass Seina.

Seina made sure to visit Elan's class first before heading to his so that she could see his lovely face that morning.

Seina looked in Elan's classroom's corner as well as to the left and right. But Elan never materialized.

"It isn't wealthy yet."

"Who hasn't yet arrived?"

The voice of Elan, who was standing in front of Seina, startled her. Even Elan's face was nearer to Seina's, who was casting a little upward glance toward Elan's eyes.
