Eric woke up, his hands were cramping.

Audrey slept in her arms last night.

Eric looked at Audrey's sleeping face. It looks calm and stays pretty in Eric's eyes.

This tiny figure that was currently closing his eyes was his girlfriend. Right now Eric can freely stare at Audrey's sweet face for whatever he wants.

After a long time of admiration for Audrey's beauty, Eric slowly raised Audrey's head and moved her onto a pillow.

Eric massaged the part of his hand that felt cramped.

Then Eric stepped into the kitchen. Eric cooked the porridge for Audrey.

After he finished, he returned to his apartment to take a bath and change clothes, after neat and then Eric returned to the apartment Audrey. Eric brought the porridge he had cooked to Audrey's room. Audrey was still asleep in her bed. Eric looked at Audrey with a smile. Then he rubbed Audrey's cheek gently.

"Audrey ... Wake up Audrey." Eric's speech was soft.

"Eungh..." Audrey rubbed her eyes slowly. Then open his eyes.

Audrey was shocked when she found the neat Eric in front of her.

Audrey sat down on her bed.

"Eric's? Why didn't you wake me up? What time is it?" Audrey panicked.

"Hour half-eight" replied Eric softly.

"Huh?! How'this? I can be late to the campus." Audrey was panicking.

"Audrey .... For a few days it's better that you don't go to college. You should really take a break. I've made porridge for you. I've also requested a few days off from Mr. Mario. That long, I will accompany you. Now let me feed you, before I go to college." Eric is at length.

"Why are you doing all this, Eric?" Audrey asked with teary eyes.

"Because I love you, Audrey. Is that answer enough?"

Audrey nodded softly, and her tears dripped down her cheeks.

"Audrey ... Why are you crying?" Eric immediately wiped Audrey's tears with his thumb.

"Thank you, Eric. Thank you for loving me and for accepting all my shortcomings." Said Audrey sobbing.

"Gst ... Audrey. You can't say that. I'm lucky that you accepted my love. What matters now is that we love each other and we live this together."

Audrey nodded, then Eric dyed Audrey's forehead gently.

Eric then feeds Audrey. When he finished, he went to college.

During the break, suddenly Jordi and Rendy come to Eric in his seat. Eric was surprised by their arrival. It turned out that Jordi and Rendy were planning to apologize specifically to Audrey. But Eric said that some days Audrey has not been able to go to college. Jordi and Rendy were really feeling guilty towards Audrey. They did not know what bad things Audrey had done until she was traumatized as badly as yesterday.

Finally, Eric tells all the past that Audrey experienced to Jordi and Rendy. Now they both understand why Audrey's attitude has been so closed to others.

***

After returning home from college, Eric escorted Audrey to a psychologist, according to the doctor's advice. Because Eric wants Audrey cured. Eric wants Audrey to rise from her slump. Audrey needs someone who can motivate her life.

After a few days, Audrey finally decided to go back to college.

"Audrey, are you sure you're ready to go to college?" Ask Eric.

"Yes. I'm tired of being at home." Answer Audrey.

Eric smiling.

Consultations with psychologists have begun to show results.

Audrey prefers to be alone. He said he was bored at home. Doesn't that mean Audrey misses the outside atmosphere and bustling campus.

Eric was happy that there had been a change in Audrey.

"All right, but promise. From now on other than in class, don't leave without me. I'll take you to class, and then at recess, I'll take you to class too. If you're going anywhere when you're on campus, call me. And don't ever come home before I come get you to class, okay?"

Audrey chuckles amusedly.

"But, are you not uncomfortable with other people's views?" Just call Audrey all of a sudden.

"I don't care what they say, because to me, the most important thing is you." Eric's speech was soft.

Audrey smiled shyly.

"Yes, let's go." Take Eric.

Audrey nodded. Then he took his bag.

Just as Audrey was about to step out of her room, Eric suddenly held her back.

"Wait for Audrey, you're forgetting something."

Audrey stopped, then turned to look at Eric.

Eric picked up something in Audrey's desk drawer, and he walked over to Audrey.

"You forgot this." Eric said softly while putting the mask on Audrey's face.

Audrey gasps.

Didn't Eric always want to see himself without a mask? But why is he wearing a mask on her now?

As soon as he finished putting on his mask, then Eric held Audrey's shoulders gently.

"You are my girlfriend now. I don't want my girlfriend's sweet face to be seen by so many people. So you have to put on your mask." Eric.

Once again, Audrey was embarrassed. Fortunately he was currently wearing a mask, so the red hue on his face was not visible to Eric.

Audrey nodded, after which they walked to the campus.

Eric took Audrey to her class. Once there, Eric and Audrey are suddenly shocked by the welcome of Audrey's classmates who suddenly welcome her in front of the class.

Audrey's classmates all wore masks.

Audrey felt overwhelmed when she saw him. Her tears suddenly welled up in her eye pelop, then Eric clasped Audrey's soft shoulder.

Suddenly, Mark the class leader came forward. He stood in front of Audrey.

"Audrey .... I'm sorry that we've been impressed like excommunicating you. But believe me, we have absolutely no intention of excommunicating you. We are reluctant to approach you for fear that you will feel disturbed by the interaction we have. But after we know all the things that have happened to you, we feel the need to approach you and get to know you more closely, and extend a hand to you. The world isn't always dark, Audrey. Your world. If you are not ready to return to the outside world, then allow us to enter your world. Then together we will step into an outer world that is far more beautiful than you think. Audrey. From today, can we be your friends?" Mark's question represented the hearts of his classmates.

Audrey could no longer hold back her tears that slowly fell down her cheeks.

One by one, Audrey's classmates approached Audrey, then shook Audrey's hand while mentioning their names. And there were also those who hugged Audrey while crying.

Audrey returned their hands and hugs while continuing to shed her tears.

While Eric was very happy because it turned out Audrey had very good friends like them. However, Eric was still wondering where Audrey's classmates could find out about the thing that Audrey was going through so they all wanted to sympathize with Audrey?

Suddenly Eric is surprised by the presence of Jordi and Rendy who suddenly embrace his shoulders simultaneously.

"you guys? Maybe it's all because of you?"

Jordi and Rendy nodded with a smile.

"This is all we can do as our apology to Audrey." Jordi replied sincerely.

Eric smiling.

"This is for you." Suddenly Rendy gives Eric a mask.

Eric accepted it.

"

Thank you." Thank you." Eric answered with a smile.

Then the three of them also put on their masks while looking at Audrey who was smiling happily in the middle of her classmates.
