Alexis and Adrian together got out of the car slowly. The two of them had just arrived right in front of the old house belonging to the Alexis family, right at night. Alexis looked at her old house with her dreamy eyes. There was a longing clearly visible in her eyes right now and in there. Alexis continued to stare at the house with bitterness in her heart. A house that is dominated by white color, two stories, with a large yard in front and behind. In addition, the fence and Alexis' old house are even starting to wear out. And the vines that circled the entire front of the house there. Alexis sighed. He felt his legs turn to tremble, and did not dare to be able to take a single step to get closer to his house right there.
As for Adrian, he also watched Alexis' old house in front of him. He felt something pulled him to immediately enter the house. Adrian had absolutely no idea what he was feeling right now. Moreover, the pull seemed to provoke Adrian to pull Alexis's arm and walk quickly into it. But Adrian did his best to endure it. Especially when Adrian turned his head and looked right at Alexis who was still silent there. “Alexis, are you sure you can do it right now?” asked Adrian who again confirmed Alexis' readiness. However, Adrian couldn't force Alexis to enter the house.
Alexis quickly sighed again. She had already prepared himself right now. She had to be brave enough to do this. Moreover, by getting a clue, it's not only for Alexis himself, but also for Adrian, and the continuity of Alexis and Adrian's relationship in the future. "I'm ready, Adrian. I have to do this. I brave..." Alexis muttered in response to Adrian's words there.
Adrian then slowly walked closer to Alexis, and tightly gripped Alexis' left palm. Adrian had a big smile on his face. "In that case, okay. Let's go into the house together." Adrian muttered at last.
Alexis turned her head and looked at Adrian with a smile on her face. Then Alexis slowly nodded her head. "Okay..."
Adrian and Alexis immediately walked together to enter the area of Alexis' old house which was no longer even locked at the fence, because the padlock was rusty and damaged. Adrian helped Alexis through the long grass around the house. Especially Alexis who has a little trouble walking among the long grass that almost fills every part of the front yard arena of her old house. Then when Alexis and Adrian were standing right in front of the door, Alexis fell silent again. "Apparently, I still have the spare key to this house." Alexis muttered as she started to reach into her bag to find her house keys there.
Adrian waited, while continuing to pay attention to his surroundings. Moreover, there are not many houses around the old house belonging to the Alexis family there. There were only a few neighboring houses there, and the rest was just the view of the hills that Adrian saw there. Before long, Alexis took out her house key, and immediately tried to open the door of her house there. Alexis found it a little difficult to open the door. Considering the condition of the door of the house which was also covered with vines, and also the rusty door hinges there. Adrian immediately helped by opening the door, accidentally breaking the hinge of one of the doors there, causing it to fall. This made the dust around the house immediately scatter and fly around Alexis and Adrian there right now.
"Oh my..." Adrian mumbled surprised by the expression on his face which now turned very panicked there.
Adrian even immediately turned his head and looked directly at Alexis who was also equally surprised there. Alexis even looked at Adrian, with a big smile on her face. "Gosh, Adrian..." Alexis mumbled who could no longer hold herself back from laughing there. Until in the end, Alexis laughed seeing the panic that was clearly visible on Adrian's face right there right now. That little by little also made Adrian follow Alexis to laugh.
“Sorry, I didn't know if the door would break like that. In fact, I didn't push it too hard earlier..." Adrian muttered apologetically, but still with a laugh that graced his lips right there and there.
Alexis slowly started to stop laughing, and gently rubbed Adrian's arm there. “It's because of your strength, Adrian… well, no problem. After all, this house has also not been well maintained for a long time. So it's only natural that some parts of this house are damaged." said Alexis there still with a smile on her face.
Adrian quickly immediately nodded his head there. "Okay. All of that has a point too.” Adrian replied confirming Alexis' words.
"Then let's go inside now yeah. I don't know if the house lights are still working or not. But, let's just give it a try, it might still work.” Alexis mumbled as she stepped her feet first to get deeper into her old house.
Adrian also quickly followed the footsteps of Alexis who preceded him there. Alexis walked closer to the part of the wall where there was a light switch button, then pressed it. And unexpectedly, the house lights were finally lit, and can still be used. Alexis smiled in relief. At least, that's the only thing that can help Alexis and Adrian to be able to find something that is in the old house of the Alexis family right there right now. “Adrian, I'll try to take a look in my room on the second floor. You can try looking for something in my late parents' room. How?" said Alexis telling Adrian who was still looking around the inside of the house.
Adrian turned around and nodded his head quickly. "Okay, no problem. Which is your parents' room?" Adrian immediately stepped closer to Alexis there.
Then Alexis stretched out her left hand there and started pointing right at a room on the first floor. "That's my late parents' room." Alexis muttered in the end.
"Okay, I'll check it out. You check your room. And yes, be careful when treading. There's still a lot of weeds here, and it looks like some parts are fragile. Okay?" said Adrian again reminded.
Alexis quickly nodded her head and had a small smile on her face. "Okay. Call me, if you find anything." Alexis mumbled as she started to move her legs to get closer to the stairs in her old house which were covered in grass and vines there.
"Of course. And call me too, if you find anything later.” Adrian replied reminding that Alexis was also there.
"Okay..." Alexis said as she began to focus her footsteps slowly climbing the stairs to her room.
After that, Adrian immediately walked over to the room of Alexis' late parents there. And slowly opened the door to the room, then slowly entered the interior of Alexis' parents' room there. Adrian also tried to find the light switch button in the room, then turned it on. Even with the dim lights, Adrian could still see a little clearly there. At least it helps a little. Adrian began to sharpen his instincts there. Already a long time ago, Adrian felt something tugging at him from the direction of the Alexis family's old house. But even so, Adrian still didn't know what pulled him so strong to get into the interior of the house.
“For some reason, I feel like there's nothing so special in this room. I felt the pull coming from the other direction. But, I have to find something in this room. Maybe my instincts are wrong...." Adrian muttered slowly.
Then Adrian began to walk closer to the tables in the room of the late Alexis parents there, and opened them. Adrian saw old books that looked very worn and dusty there. Slowly, Adrian took the books, and began to open them. Adrian read a few pages from the pages in the book. “A diary?” Adrian muttered realizing what the book actually contained.
After that, Adrian closed the book again, and held it. At least, only Alexis could read the contents of the book. Moreover, the book was a diary belonging to Alexis' late parents. Adrian felt that he had no right to read it completely. And besides that, Adrian hopes that maybe in this diary of Alexis' parents, he and Alexis will be able to get an important clue. Of course. Then after that, Adrian went back to the inside of the room.
