30 The Sun shines

Oriana was a little disappointed but then she agreed to Eleo's favor and canceled her plans. She told him the plan she prepared for him. Upon hearing her plan, Eleo smiled and kissed her cheeks.

He thanked her for the efforts and said, "You know? We can watch the beautiful view right under this roof and if we are lucky we might see the meteor shower tonight."

Eleo walked with Oriana towards his bedroom and both of them laid on it while facing the ceiling of his room. Then, Eleo clicked the remote to slide his ceiling and the transparent rooftop appeared. Oriana was fascinated by the night view and Eleo enjoyed watching her expression.

After a while, Oriana noticed Eleo was facing towards her and she asked him, "Why aren't you looking at the sky?"

Eleo fondly replied while caress her head, "Previously I said, after this, I would be gazing at the brightest star that shines the whole day that I'm looking at right now. I'm a man of my word."

Oriana quickly responded, "Then why do you have this transparent roof?"

Eleo replied again, "Hrmm, I asked my dad about this and he told me someone made a special request to him about this roof. Who is it, ermmm?" and Eleo pinched Oriana's nose.

He continued, "Thinking back, when I asked you whether you know about me stargazing, you said you knew it. How do you know it? Come on tell me!"

Oriana stubbornly said, "I don't remember saying such things."

He started to tickle her and Oriana confessed, "Ahhh... Stop it….Hahaha… I will tell you…"

Eleo stopped tickling her and Oriana revealed, "Actually I gathered information from Adrian when I wanted to buy a Christmas gift for you. He told me about the roof in your room. Plus, I just reminded uncle to add this feature to this house and I didn't expect him to find a place where we can stargaze straight from the room."

Eleo faced the sky and said, "Me too."

He moved closer to Oriana and said, "Thanks for the keychain and also for not giving up on me. Even in winter, summer, autumn, or spring, your smile always gave me the warmth I was longing for, and thank you for always smiling when you meet me at school."

Eleo gave Oriana a peck on her lips. Oriana glanced at the balcony and saw the meteor shower. She quickly grabbed Eleo's hand and dragged him towards the balcony.

Eleo was surprised and asked her, "Why? What happened?"

Oriana excitedly said, "I saw a meteor over there. Let's wait here to watch more and make some wishes together."

Eleo placed a bench near Oriana and brought a blanket with him. The night was chilly and once Oriana sat on the bench, Eleo covered her with the blanket. Oriana placed her head on Eleo's shoulder and Eleo hugged her from the side.

"Haaah, I'm so sleepy. What is the time, Eleo?" Oriana questioned.

"It's almost two o'clock now. Just sleep, I will wake you up when I see a meteor shower," comforts Eleo.

Oriana asked, "Why aren't you sleepy, Eleo?"

Eleo replied guiltily, "Actually I slept at the bench over there before coming here," while pointing at the bench near the pool.

Oriana nudged Eleo's abdomen while looking at the bench he mentioned. She noticed someone was there as well and requested Eleo to take a look.

Eleo mentioned, "By looking at the gesture, it seems like Adrian is wandering near the bench."

Oriana laughed and said, "Look whether he is alone or someone else with him."

"I think he is alone. I can't see anyone else from here," said Eleo.

After that, Oriana fell asleep for a while and when Eleo almost dozed off after watching for more than an hour, he was startled by a scream. He nudged Oriana to wake up as well and they walked to the end of the balcony to look down towards the garden area. They quickly dodged and sought through the holes from the balcony after they saw Adrian standing with someone.

It seemed like Tiffany scared Adrian which made him startled and scream at the same time. He was mad with Tiffany's action and she continuously apologized to him. Adrian was walking fastly around the garden while Tiffany followed behind him like a puppy.

Eleo and Oriana who watching this scenario from the balcony were laughing at their playful behavior.

Oriana said, "Hopefully, they won't be late like us," and a meteor passed by when she mentioned that.

Again, she dragged Eleo back to their bench without making any noise so that no one would notice them.

Oriana and Eleo were continuously chit-chatting while waiting for another meteor shower. Without them realizing, two hours had passed by, and Oriana feeling disappointed about being unable to make a wish.

Eleo held Oriana's hand and sounded sentimental, "Listen, Oriana. You and I may not look perfect but we are perfect for each other in every way."

Oriana was impressed by his words and said, "Aww, that's so sweet of you. I always wonder how you come up with such a phrase."

"Ermmm, that one. I watched a video and I liked that particular phrase a lot. That's why I mentioned just now," Eleo teased Oriana.

Oriana sulked and faced the other side. Eleo laughed and gently held Oriana's chin to make her turn towards him but she refused. Eleo said sorry and again he tried to hold her chin.

He slowly turned her and said, "I'm serious now."

Both of them locked their gazed at each other.

Eleo confessed, "Every time the Sun rises, I want to meet you," and the sun rose at the moment he was confessing.

The yellow beam fell on each other's faces and Eleo confessed again, "I love you, Oriana."

Eleo placed his forehead on Oriana while holding her hands tightly.

Oriana pleased with his words and replied, "Jag älskar dig"

"Love you, too," Eleo replied while chuckling and added, "Maybe I should continue teaching you after this, my dear student…"

Oriana raised her head and with spirit, she said, "Yes, sir."

Both of them ended up giggling.

At 8 o'clock, there was a knock on Eleo's room door and Eleo's mom wanted to wake him up for his morning class. She was continuously calling his name and knocking on his door as he was not attending her phone calls.

Eleo's face was patted by a hand and a soft voice heard, "Eleo, your mom is calling you."

Eleo's eyes were completely opened due to shock as the hand and the voice belonged to Oriana who slept in his room after they watched the sunrise.

Out of fear, Eleo shook Oriana to wake her and said, "Why are you sleeping here? My mom at the door right now. Wake up!"

Oriana, who was still feeling sleepy, said, "Didn't you say you want to meet me every sunrise?" and tuck the blanket to continue to sleep.

Eleo went completely crazy with what Oriana said and replied, "Hey, if your father sees you in my room. He's going to kill me!!!!"

Eleo murmured, "How I'm going to survive between her and her father."

Eleo felt frustrated, "Urghh!! Forget it," and yelled, "Mom, I'm not going to class today."

"Hey, Eleo. Have you seen Oriana? She is not opening her door as well," questioned his mother.

"I don't know, mom," again Eleo yelled and tucked into his bed to continue sleeping as well.

After a few minutes, the phone started to ring…

Oriana picked up the call and answered it, "Errrr… Mom...What is it?"

Her mom asked where she was and Oriana replied, "Where am I? Hrmmmm… I'm in Eleo's room," and she hung up because she was too sleepy.

The whole house was chaotic and both of them were sleeping soundly without knowing anything. Hopefully, they would wake up before the sunset…
