Elena glanced around and rubbed her eyes, then slowly moved her hand towards Das. She wanted to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
Das had told her that he wouldn't come to her party, and after seeing him there, Elena was reluctant to believe it because she wanted Das to be there.
She was afraid to touch him. She was worried because if Das turned out to be her hallucination, she would break.
Before Elena could touch Das, Das grabbed Elena's hand.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a gentle voice.
Elena didn't say anything and burst into tears.
Das pulled Elena's hand and hugged her. He was both angry and sad.
'What the hell no one came?!'
'She was so excited… dammit!'
Elena hugged back Das and squeezed him.
'Why… why? Why?!'
They stayed like that for some minutes before Elena said, "I am fine now."
