Trapped in Chain Love
The warm attic.

...-Noise was satisfied with the laughter on his face. Instead of playing, the genes of the Eldegar family produce superior seeds with dazzling good looks. When Noise laughs off he looks more handsome, indeed a handsome person if he has laughed then the level of good looks will be doubled...

Laying her body on the bed, Elise felt that today was very tiring for her.

The task that he had to complete more than usual, therefore Elise who was not used to being tired quickly because most of the work. Luckily Nicolas was helping, otherwise he could have been pat.

“First day tiring”

His hand rubbed his hair, removing the strands that were bothering his face. Slightly rolling over to the side, Elise took the device in the bag, she had not taken it out since then she did not know what notifications were coming into the square object.

Some chats are plastered on the screen, mostly from groups or friends while others are messages from colleagues first. Elise immediately replies to their messages one by one, but her fingers are stalled at the contact who has the father's name.

'Dad didn't send any messages'

Disappointment is what Elise is feeling right now. Though Elise hoped at least the father sent a short message, just asking how or how it was pleasant, but in fact Elise's father even acted as if he no longer cared about the princess.

Her relationship with Gio is good, although they rarely chat warmly like drinking tea together or going on vacation together but Elise knows very well Gio loves her enough.

Losing news like this made Elise assume at will, so she concluded that her father had not cared about her since she was sold to the Eldegar family.

'If it's still dear, you should call me,'

Elise doesn't care anymore. If his father acted like he was throwing Elise away, he would do the same. But still, in her heart she felt pain from being ignored by her own father.

Elise's eyes were blurry due to the tears that had emerged from her heartache. He cried a lot, but he rarely did that.

“Duh, I'm being a crybaby like this—“

Tacit. Elise sharpened her sense of hearing when she caught the sound of the violin from afar.

Soft violin games such as played by a professional, Elise felt interested to find the roots of the violin sound that seemed to hypnotize her.

“Who also plays violin at night?”

Stroked by the soft sound of the violin, Elise walked along to find the source of the sound. It turned out that the origin of his voice was from the attic, a dark and frightening place. For Elise a dark place is what she fears, for in that darkness she does not know what kind of thing will appear.

“How about if the violinist is a ghost?”

Elise did not believe in ghosts, but when she thought of the delicate creature she shook in fear.

Swallowing her saliva violently, Elise tried to vent herself. He had come this far, if he returned to the room then he would never know who the *Violin was. (*Handler for someone who plays the violin)

Whether it's a ghost or a human, Elise has decided to see the Violin. So he continued his steps towards the attic, opened a little unlocked door and peeked at it from the outside.

The attic window opened, letting the dim moonlight into it. Bathed in moonlight, a male figure with a white shirt and black pants was standing.

His hands were very shrewd when playing a violin that looked worn, but the violin sounding melodious to make Elise fascinated for a moment.

Elise knows who Violin is. He's not a ghost let alone a thief.

He is the youngest son of the Eldegar family. Noise Eldegar's.

The brief clapping sound rang out making Noise's attention distracted to the figure of Elise standing on the doorstep, unconsciously Elise clapped in admiration as Noise finished playing her violin.

Now he's smiling awkwardly. Clumsy looking for excuses on Noise.

“Eum, hi? Nice violin game. You are very talented ya”

Although originally thin-faced, Noise slightly blushed as Elise praised him. He realized that, so Elise went into the attic while occasionally observing the surroundings.

Although from the outside it looks scary and dark but inside it is not as scary. The light in the attic is quite bright because there is one lamp there, plus an open window makes the moonlight come in making the scary impression reduced by several percent. There is an old sofa and some empty cardboard, maybe this attic doubles up as a warehouse so many things there.

Well, the point is Elise is grateful because the person who plays the violin is not a ghost.

“You play the violin often here?”

To melt the silence between them Elise tried to start a conversation. Noise gave a brief nod, it seemed that she was awkward because of the Elise that had suddenly appeared.

“Training for the competition?”

“Not, this is just a hobby”

Elise nodded in understanding. It is natural for children the age of Noise to have a hobby that is cultivated, but according to Elise Noise ability is like being trained very seriously, not just a hobby.

“Your ability is good, do you not intend to enter the competition?”

“I don't have time for that.”

The answer sounded harsh but Noise's facial expression reflected someone who was disappointed. What's problem? Elise wanted to ask so, but seeing their relationship that was not too close made her undo her intention to ask.

Elise is sensitive enough to be able to read the situation and currently she concludes that Noise has a problem with her violin playing hobby.

‘But the ability is quite good for a child his age. Eldegar's family does not care much about music science and prioritizes business, it could be that he gets the ability to play the violin from self-taught and limited' learning'

Perhaps, his reason for playing violin in the attic at night was also because he could not do it during the day. Of course, because of the time during the day he spent studying at university and Elise was sure madam Julia did not know about this hobby of Noise.

“Can I borrow the violin?”

There were wrinkles and suspicious gazes from Noise. Of course Elise seemed unconvincing, she was not as talented in music so Noise was a bit hesitant to lend her favorite violin to her future sister-in-law.

Noticing the obvious doubt, Elise puffed her cheeks in annoyance. He used to learn music first, although only pianika— but he sure can play the violin as well.

“Come on, I'm just playing for a little while. Will not be tampered with!”

A little pushy, finally Noise gave her violin to Elise who made the master smile happily.

Elise began to position herself as a professional violinist. His style mimicked Noise earlier, of course Noise realized that but he did not mind.

“See yes, I can also play violin”

His hands clasped the *bow(*Bringing tool for the violin) and then swiped it with the violin strings. At first everything seems normal, but when the bow comes into contact with the violin strings the sound that appears is even a false and ugly sound.

Ngggek— is the sound that Elise makes from the violin. It was neither pitched nor melodious as Noise had done.

“eh? How not good?”

Elise confused herself. Though he sure can match the ability of Noise, or at least play a little more melodious.

“Pftttt!! Hahaha, he said earlier how can his voice be ugly?”

Noise was satisfied with the laughter on his face. Instead of playing, the genes of the Eldegar family produce superior seeds with dazzling good looks. When Noise laughs loosely he looks more handsome, indeed a handsome person if he has laughed then the level of good looks will double.

Elise doesn't mind being laughed at like this. In fact, he was happy because finally Noise looks more relaxed from the beginning of their meeting.

“It turns out my ability is rusty hehe. Long time no sharpened, so puti”

Noise grunts in disbelief.

“Reason. Elise can't play the violin, right? How to hold the violin just wrong tuh.”

It was a stabbing comment for Elise and it was reality. He can't play the violin, even this is the first time he touched the instrument.

Shamefully Elise admitted her incompetence.

Nodding in response, Noise took back the violin that Elise gave her. Before storing the violin he checked it first, afraid that someone was scratched because it was touched by an amateur like Elise he said.

“No abrasions! I'll be careful playing” said Elise. Feeling offended.

Noise chuckles amusedly while putting the violin into place. He turned around, looking at Elise who was still standing there.

“Sister Elise is not sleepy? Isn't your sister just coming home from work?”

Elise was a little surprised because Noise asked her. He thought he would be immediately expelled, but it turned out that Noise wanted to make small talk first.

“It's okay. I did my job earlier, so tomorrow I don't have to leave too early”

Noise said a short 'oh' and their conversation ended. But, instead of Elise's name if it goes away as soon as the conversation ends, she sits in a chair next to Noise making the nineteen-year-old slightly shift her body to make room to sit on Elise.

“After all, I should have told you that. You're not sleepy? No classes tomorrow?”

Elise believes Noise just entered college this year. Isn't the first year the busiest time for college kids? But Noise seemed undisturbed by the busy schedule of college kids, instead he relaxed.

“What's the problem with skipping once? After all I can use the money to be absent, so it doesn't matter right?”

The error about Elise judging Noise was a submissive child. It turns out that the time to argue it is only starting now. Elise cleared a short thud. Noise was not wrong, he could do that.

“It's really your right anyway. But I suggest to enter class just”

Elise paused her speech for a moment, she looked at Noise from the side who looked indifferent yet still listened to him speak.

“Money can indeed solve your problems, but later the abilities you have will not be the same as those who work hard for college. Besides, don't you love using that money to cover one day of your truancy? Though you can buy other things using that money”

“I—don't think of it.”

Noise lowered her grim face. Accustomed to living as a person with his property makes Noise use money as he pleases, even the affairs of college attendance he uses the power of his money to cover the absence.

The Elise family was also rich although not as rich as the Eldegar family. His late mother always advised that he should not often use money to solve his problems. Dependence on money and family power will only make her become independent and mischievous, therefore Elise strives to achieve everything she wants.

"So, do I have to stay in college even though I don't like it?”

“What makes you dislike?”

Noise was a bit hesitant to answer Elise's question. But looking at her soothing gaze Noise thought it was okay to tell her.

“Itu—not the majors I want” Noise paused his speech for a moment while Elise faithfully waited for Noise to continue his speech.

“Mother wants me to be a business student to continue the company that will be passed on to me, but I want to study music.”

There was sadness in his eyes. Noise spoke while staring at the floor, lowering her face slightly.

“As Brother Elise knows. I love the violin more than just a hobby. I want to plunge into the world of music, but mother argues that the world of music is not profitable like the business we live”

“You've already talked about this with madam Julia?”

Noise shook his head “I can't do that” His voice is so low, he doesn't even stare at Elise.

“Why?”

A grim smile was seen on his face.

“ibu is always firm. He will not like my stubborn attitude to desires that he thinks are useless, when I talk about my wishes that are not in accordance with his standards he will ignore my opinion and speak that his decision is the best”

Madam Julia's attitude that reined in Noise made her a closed figure and difficult to express what she wanted. Madam Julia always said that her decision was the best for Noise, but she did not try to understand the problem.

Noise smiled knot. Just this time he talked about his problem to others, let alone Elise being a new member of their family.

“forgive me brother Elise”

For a moment Elise did not answer. He tilted his head in confusion, then spoke again.

“Why are you apologizing?”

Noise's bluish eyes were fixed with Elise's green eyes. A look of regret implied on his face, as if he was the most guilty person there.

“When we had dinner I didn't stop Julian's mother and sister from talking badly about brother. If I knew Elise's sister this well, maybe I'd try to stop them like Lucas”' sister

‘So brother Lucas back then defended me?’

There was a feeling of shock in Elise as Noise said that. However, in his little heart he felt happy that Lucas defended him as he left impolitely in the dining room.

Elise shook her head briefly. She thought Noise shouldn't apologize like this.

“Do not apologize if you are not wrong. Why apologize for mistakes made by others? It will only make them not learn from their mistakes, you understand?”

“Sister Elise is similar to brother Lucas ya”

“Really?”

Noise nodded with vigor, she did not lie as she said that.

“Iya. Brother Elise is brave, brother Lucas is too. He built his own business because he loved to cook. Brother Lucas is not bound by mother rules that require us to continue the company, he created his own way. I think it's cool.”

Mischievous smile Elise expands “So I'm also cool nih?”

“I—iya” Sayar Noise Briefly. His ears look red because he is ashamed to say that. Elise chuckled amusedly, feeling uneasy at the reaction Noise showed.

“Aw. This kid, could have embarrassed me”

Elise's hand held out ruffled Noise's hair while the master laughed as Elise treated him intimately. Noise did not reject Elise's treatment of her. Awkward indeed, but he doesn't mind.

Elise was the first to ask with care about what she wanted, therefore Noise felt comfortable talking to her.

“It's late, I have to go back to the room. Want to be with you?”

Noise nodded briefly in response. She wanted to stay in the attic until morning, but Elise's words a few minutes ago made her change her mind. Noise is going to college tomorrow, so he's gonna have to go to bed.

They come out together, before parting ways due to the different ways Noise stops Elise by pulling her hand.

Elise was shocked at the sudden action of Noise. Before she asked why, Noise first spoke to her.

“Sister Elise, do you want to go to the attic again tomorrow?”

It took a lot of courage for Noise to get Elise to meet again. He felt comfortable talking to Elise today and Noise wanted to chat again tomorrow—and maybe so on too.

Elise smiled widely, of course she wanted to come again tomorrow.

“of courses. We can talk again tomorrow, now you have to sleep. Stay the spirit of Noise”

Noise nodded in understanding, after which he let go of Elise's hand and left Elise who was still there.

Elise immediately went to her room as well, she had to sleep now to prevent her from waking up late later. Before going to bed, Elise thought back to her encounter with Noise.

Unknowingly a smile was created on his face. Elise is happy to be able to help Noise, she also feels comfortable with him because Noise looks like her own sister.

Her tiring day at the office just disappeared, now Elise feels excited to face tomorrow.
