Twilight comes closer and the guests were starting to bid goodbye to the charming celebrant. En and Sasha were sitting on the table sharing a few bottles of beer while Alina is occupied taking more photos of Posy and her invitees.
En is also engaged herself gazing at Posy and the sublime woman who gaily admires her sister's glee.
"Looks like it's about to rain. That cloud appears to be drawing near the field."
Sasha shared as she glances at En.
En didn't respond as she's busy expressing admiration from afar.
"Aheeem!"
Sasha exclaimed.
En turned her head to Sasha.
"You're lost in thought at the moment. It appears like you have hots for your guest."
Sasha curiously asked.
En responded with a frown followed by smirk.
"Dont you?"
Sasha asked En as if she was under interrogation.
"It's easy for you to cite someone showing interest on other people, but how come you don't notice when someone admires you?"
En answered in an aim to change the subject.
"So there's some interest eh?! But wait! What?! Someone? Admiring me?! What are you talking about?"
Sasha curiously asked En in an unexpectedly loud tone.
"I don't know. I'm in no position to let such details drop."
En's short response followed by a wicked smile.
Alina and Posy walked toward the 2 women who's busy hitting the bottles.
"I should head back home now. It's already dark."
Alina uttered while Posy is grabbing her dress from behind.
"Can't you just stay for a bit, jiejie (older sister)?"
Posy pleaded Alina.
"It's getting late dear. I have a long drive back to town."
Alina answered the little girl while gently tapping her head.
"Then just stay for the night! It's dangerous to drive in the dark. And there's still a lot of food left. We can't finish it all! Please jiejie?"
Posy begged while pulling her skirt.
A low tone of thunder suddenly resounded the field. Both Posy and Alina immediately covered their ears at the same time.
"Hey Posy, let's grab dino and bunny. Sounds like they want to play."
Sasha grabbed Posy's hand and walked with her inside the house.
En took a last sip on her cigarette before putting it off the ashtray and stood up.
"Are you okay?"
En asked as she approached closer to Alina.
Just as she is about to answer, a loud roar of thunder clamored the pitch black skies. Alina jumped in terror and grasped En's shirt.
En was surprised at Alina's reaction being afraid of the thunder - just like her sister.
"Really? Are you scared of thunder?"
En asked her jokingly.
"It's not something to laugh about, En!"
Alina answered in a loud yet shaky voice.
En can feel the woman's entire body shivers while squeezing her shirt.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to laugh like that. It's just that I never used to know anyone scared of thunder until I met Posy. And now, you. Sorry, I'm not laughing at your fright."
En held Alina's hands and gently massaged it to comfort the terrified woman.
"You should stay for the night, dear. This storm isn't calming down any minute now. We don't want to risk your safety driving in this kind of weather condition."
Rosa spoke as she noticed Alina's anxious behavior towards the thunderstorm.
"You can stay in my room. I'll sleep with Posy tonight."
En added, agreeing with Rosa.
