For a moment, Helena and Alan were still hugging. They were still crying but no longer said anything but just crying. They shed each other's disquiet and anxiety through their cries.

Alan was no less than Helena. He even hugged Helena tightly and cried on the girl's shoulders.

It's been 5 minutes, and they're still in the same position. However, Alan felt Helena moving in his arms.

Helena rubbed her face on Alan's belly covered in a light blue shirt, wiping away the tears and snot that melted from her nose. Then the hug was over.

"You look so ugly when you cry!" said Helena after seeing Alan's face.

"You're uglier!" retorted Alan sitting next to Helena.

"No, you're uglier!" replied Helena, not to be outdone.

"Not you are the ugliest!" Alan was not to be outdone, and they turned each other's faces.

They flinched for a while. There was only Helena's hiccuping sound, the remnants of her crying.

After being silent for a while, they glanced at each other at the same time until they saw each other. Helena pursed her lips, not to ask for a kiss nor because of sulking. Helena was holding back her laughter.

They put on the same expression for a few seconds until they could not hold it anymore. They immediately burst into laughter. A loose laugh and full of relief.

Finally, one matter was over. Only laughter was left between them. At least that's what's happening right now. Helena and Alan of them both laughed broadly with happiness.

"I love you!" said Alan as he held Helena back in his arms.

This time there was no crying or frustrated shouting. There was only laughter between them so that their embrace became a loving embrace that felt heart-warming that already felt about to freeze.

"I love you too!" said Helena hugging Alan tightly.

After the drama that has just happened, for now, they are busy watching a film on TV provided by the Hotel.

Like siblings, they laughed together watching a cartoon series that they had watched dozens of times. Because of all the broadcasts available only that is quite interesting to them.

For almost 3 hours, the two sat in front of the television, then finally, they ended their viewing session.

"I'll pay the extra fee," Alan said to Helena, who tidied up her clothes.

Helena nodded.

" I also want to go to the toilet before going home," said Helena before Alan left the room.

"All right, I'll wait in the downstairs," said Alan as he left the room.

Helena immediately completed 'take a leak' that struck her. Since a while ago, she wanted to pee. It's just that she was very reluctant to leave the comfortable position just now.

"Agh... what a relief."

Helena grabbed her bag lying on the bed. After confirming that no one was left behind, Helena immediately left the room.

There was still a lot of time left, but they decided to check out even though they only used 4 hours of the 12 hours available. From the beginning, their goal in renting the room was not to make love but to solve their problems.

Fighting like before in a public place is very uncomfortable. Talking in the boarding room is also uncomfortable because many ears can listen to them, so the hotel room is the only safest place for them.

Helena was also worried if Alan would accept the invitation to make love that she offered earlier. However, the question she asked was to ensure Alan's feelings, but it does not mean that she would if Alan did accept it.

However, Helena would also be reluctant to think about why she would give if Alan accepted it, or worse, Alan ambushed her while in the room.

Helena is not naïve. Alan is just a man.

Although she believes Alan will not be interested in her physically. However, her mind will make her anxious and afraid, whereas before, she was not scared to sleep with Alan in the hotel while on vacation.

"At least, for now, it's safe...." chuckled Helena entering the elevator.

Helena leaned on the elevator wall. She was getting sleepy just now. After the problem solves, then comes drowsiness.

Helena was already unable to open her eyes, even just waiting for the elevator to arrive. "Should I just stay here?" asked Helena, who was reflected on the elevator wall.

"No way... Nina will be worried!" Helena murmured, looking at herself.

" I'll just call her!" Helena continued to speak for herself.

"I forgot my phone battery ran out!" sighed Helena irritably.

Helena leaned on the elevator wall, even though the travel time from the fifth floor to the first floor was not up to three minutes. Because she felt that she was sleepy in addition, she was alone in this elevator, making the time pass even longer.

Helena looked at her reflection, thinking if it could give a sensation of not being lonely, but still, she felt lonely because she was alone.

Helena constantly sighed a few times, complaining about the extremely slow elevator, until the elevator door finally opened, revealing Alan standing waiting for her in the waiting room.

Helena watched someone standing with Alan. They were talking with occasional chuckles. After careful attention, there was not just one person there. They seem to be talking very enjoyably.

Alan's pleasant and friendly personality makes him liked by many people. He is also good at praising without having to lie. Therefore, he was very successful in marketing that he was running from the beginning.

Some people say on point, move in the field of expertise and like it is indeed the best choice. And if diligent will certainly give good results and worth it.

Sometimes Helena feels envious. She doesn't even know what skills she has. She is not meticulous, quickly tired, and, the most important thing, is not the type of person who likes to take on more work. The only thing her colleagues rely on is a sense of responsibility that is always maintained.

Helena stepped lazily towards Alan, then dispelled terrible thoughts about herself.

"Hey, are you done?" asked Alan as Helena approached him.

Helena just nodded. Honestly, Helena was lazy to talk because she wanted to go home and sleep immediately.

"You guys are dating?" asked the person in front of Alan.

"No sir, I just picked her up," Alan reasoned.

" Mr. Cahyadi?" Helena confirmed her eyes. There was also another Department chairman.

"Yes Helena, I am," replied the man who was accosted by Helena just now.

"What are you doing here? Eh, Delima!" said Helena, also looking at the Delima who is coming from the direction of the reception desk.

Delima, who was putting the ATM card in her wallet, raised her head and was shocked instantly.

"Helena?"

"What are you doing here with the Department chairman?"

"We just—,"
