Happy reading

The sizzling sound of the frying pan colored the completely unsettled atmosphere of the morning. There are passing vehicles that sound loud but not disturbing enough.
"You are being got up early!" Someone greeted Helena who was re-frying the chicken bought by Alan last night, to make it warmer and better to eat later in the day.
"it's nothing," Helena replied indifferently. "I almost forgot, the chicken breast is yours, Alan bought it," said Helena while rubbing her eyes.
Nina nodded while watching the sleepy Helena. Then look at the trash can where there are burnt fried eggs. Then turned her eyes to Helena who took the chicken out of the pan to replace it with sausage. Helena has been silent since the last sentence she said. Which is not natural for her.
It was very strange to see an extrovert person suddenly turn into silence and not much behavior like Helena was doing at this time. To be honest, Nina was very uncomfortable seeing that.
"If you are sleepy then go to sleep, there is still enough time until go to work," Nina told Helena. She finally felt annoyed by Helena's quiet nature.
It doesn't mean she was angry, but she felt strange with Helena's drastically changed nature.
But the girl she was talking to just snorted lazily, Helena let out a long breath. Nina was astonished at Helena's unusual behavior, but she chose to ignore Helena because she didn't seem to want to discuss it.
"Which one is mine?" asked Nina as she handed over the plate.
"What?!" Helena asked in a huff.
"Why are you yelling?!" Nina said irritably when she yelled at Helena. "I want to ask my chicken, why are you so angry?!" She continued, still annoyed.
"Why are you yelling at me!"
"Never mind, where is my chicken?" Nina asked softening her tone.
Helena was silent for a moment and then turned to the chicken she was turning around. "Take it yourself," Helena said.
Nina obeyed Helena's orders, don't want to make the atmosphere complicated. After moving her part of the chicken in the lunch box, Nina turned to the refrigerator to pick up the ingredients she was going to cook.
"By the way 'AOT' will be releasing the latest season in time," Nina opened the conversation after a moment of silence.
"There is no valid information yet, but it is true that it is already impatient to wait for the latest season!" Helena exclaimed, clutching a spatula.
Helena is a connoisseur of cartoons, ranging from Anime, Animation, and Donghua to comics that have been read by the girl. What Nina discussed is one of the anime that went on hiatus due to the preparation of the next season.
The anime is also the origin of why Helena is often called 'Pig'. Ever since she read the comic, Helena hated her last name. The reason is that in the story there is a character named 'Gabi' who has killed Helena's favorite character, 'Sasha Braus'.
Helena along with other AOT anime lovers cursed the character 'Gabi' as a Pig. Helena, who doesn't want to have the same nickname as the character she hates, is angry at anyone who calls her Gabi.
Before it became a common call used to call the short girl. Although Helena often goes angry because she is ridiculed as 'Gabi', instead of stopping, they use the word more and more, because they think Helena's response is very funny.
Not only that, it turns out that Helena's first name is also plastered by some people who also enjoy the anime. The word 'Helena' is played to 'Yelena'.
'Yelena' is also one of the characters in the AOT story and also one of the characters Helena doesn't like.
Helena thinks that 'Hajime' the author of Attack On Titan had never met her parents, so they allied to give her the name of a character she hated so much. Or maybe 'Hajime' was inspired by her name.
However, none of that is true, it's just a form of accidentalness attached to it. Beyond all the annoying things that happened to her, Helena still liked the series, even waiting for the next episode.
"You're so easy to divert," Nina chuckled pinching Helena's cheek with a bang.
"No, I'm not," Helena replied, which did not accept.
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
Nina was silent for a moment, her hands still busy cutting carrots. When Helena was about to leave the kitchen because the business was over, Nina said again.
"Yes, you are!!"
"No! I'm not!!"
***
Helena pressed her thumb finger on the fingerprint screen to perform attendance.
Helena watched the surroundings, the atmosphere of the office was still very quiet when she arrived. Helena very rarely came too early like this, if it weren't for Alan to pick her up then she couldn't have been here now.
Helena has a habit where she always arriving a few minutes before the time is running out, even not infrequently she is recorded late because she is stuck in congestion or a full elevator. But Helena seemed to never be deterred or tried to arrive early so as not to be late.
No one knows why she rarely comes early. If asked, the girl simply replied by saying 'it's more challenging if it arrives a bit late'. Those who heard the girl's answer naturally did not accept, but they couldn't say anything. Everyone has their principles and habits.
"Well, it turned out to be fun to come early too.." Helena chuckled as she entered the room that was still empty, there was no sign of life in there.
"I'd better use the time left to sleep," Helena murmured walking towards her cubicle after putting her bag into the locker.
Helena put away the Keyboard and a few things that filled the table. After the table became a little stretched and she could put part of her body and head, Helena put a neck pillow on the table.
"It's crazy, all this is because of Mr. Bastian, I can't sleep all night, it's tiring," Helena let out a long breath while looking for a comfortable position.
After getting the comfortable position Helena closed her eyes. Before falling asleep completely, Helena muttered, "but, I didn't think that Mr. Bastian was strong enough last night!"
