Chapter 3 3

Chloe's POV

"Seia, we have to leave and go back to our house." Cindy said immediately when she got close to us.

"Wait, who is with Kael?" Seia wondered.

"Ah, we saw him on the road passed out. He didn't seem to be infected so we just took him." Cindy said before getting into the car.

My gaze turned to Kuya Kael and the woman he was carrying. I approached him to ask him.

"Brother, is she badly injured?" I asked when I saw that it was full of wounds somewhere.

"Yes. So we have to hurry." He said before passing me and getting into the car.

What a pity.

When we arrived at the house where we were staying, we immediately took the girl to an empty room just next to Cindy's.

Seia approached Cindy and Kuya Kael and gave the medicine kit. If I look at the woman's face, it looks like she has been suffering from her illness for several days.

I just sighed before approaching that girl and touching her forehead. But I was surprised when I felt the heat there.

"K-brother, he's hot." I said to Kuya Kael in shock.

"I know. But I don't know if her body temperature is still normal." Kuya said before placing the thermometer on the woman's armpit, "But for now, we just have to keep an eye on her and wait for her to wake up."

After he said that, he ordered us to arrange all the things we found somewhere.

"I'm really curious, what happened to the girl?" I heard Seia ask while folding clothes.

"I do not know. We just saw him fall on the road." I was immediately stunned by what Cindy said and looked at her in disbelief.

What the h*ck? They just saw it fall and brought it here right away?

"Aren't you thinking? What if it's just a trap?" I asked Cindy with a frown.

I saw one of his eyebrows raised while Seia shook her head.

"What kind of question is that, Kloe? Didn't you see the girl? He is sick, why don't we just leave him there. It's our conscience that will be the problem."

My mouth dropped at what Cindy said. What an idiot. They never really listen to me. Whatever they want, that should be followed.

I dropped the folded clothes, "I'm too lazy to fold." I'll just take a breather." I said firmly before standing up and leaving.

I heard Cindy call me but I didn't look at her again.

If they don't want to listen, let them. They are the only ones who will perish, not me.

Cindy's POV

I was surprised when Kloe dropped the clothes she was folding, "I'm too lazy to fold. I'll just take a breather." It left with a bang.

"H-wait, hey Kloe!" I called her but she didn't look at me.

I just held my breath and shook my head. Even though that girl is really stubborn. Different from his older brother.

"I really need to teach Kloe good manners. He no longer respects us." Seia said before folding again.

"Nevermind. Maybe it's because he's just worried." I tried to smile at Seia.

It just flashed before folding again. I was thinking about what Kloe told us. What if he's right? Does that mean we have to send the girl away?

But I know that Kael will not immediately agree to that.

"If you think Kloe is right, well, stop it." I turned to Seia when he said that without looking back, "You know Kloe, everything she sees is bad for her."

I frowned at what Seia said, "I'm not saying anything-"

He turned to me seriously, "I know. But I know you too. You want something from Kael and whatever Kael wants you will insist on wanting too." My eyes widened at Seia's words and quickly looked around.

Maybe someone will hear. Me and Seia are the only ones who know that I like Kael, so it's a big shame if someone hears what Seia said.

"Hey!" I whispered to him. He just shrugged his shoulders, "What you're saying about Kloe has no connection!"

"Hmm maybe?" He just said, "But for me, it has a connection. You know Kael cares about Kloe the most, so whatever Kloe wants, he follows immediately. You too, as long as whatever Kloe says, you'll just believe it and be blind."

I was silent at what he said and clenched my fist. Is he insulting me?

"But-" I didn't finish what I was going to say when I saw that he had finished folding the clothes.

He immediately stood up and looked me in the eyes, "If you don't believe what I'm saying. Just remember what you did to our old friend that Kloe also defamed." He said before walking away.

I was just dumbfounded by what he said. It's like a flashback of everything that happened to us before.

I-I didn't mean for that to happen to him. I just want them to see that what Kloe is saying is right.

Meisha's POV

I don't know but there seems to be something wrong with where I lay. As I remember, I passed out on the road so it must be hard and very rough.

But why is my bed so soft?! H-can't I be in heaven? Immediately?

I want to confirm to myself whether I am alive or dead. But I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, I'm really in heaven!

"San Pedro, I know you know that I am suffering too much on earth, but I hope you don't take me!" I whispered loudly.

*Dug* *dug* *Dug* *Dug*

I could hear my heart beating... just wait! Do the ghosts in the sky still have a heart? Why do I hear mine?

"Pfft!" I stopped in my thoughts when I suddenly heard a soft laugh. What's that? Is that San Pedro?

"It seems like you are already awake." wait? Female voice? Is Saint Peter a woman?

Uh! I really don't want to open my eyes! I don't want to!

"Come on, I already here you talking. Stop daydreaming."

I stopped thinking when that female voice spoke again. I swallowed my own saliva and hesitated whether to open my eyes.

But in the end, I decided to open my eyes slowly.

At first, I only saw a ray of light which made me nervous. But as time goes on, I gradually see a reflection.

A female posture.

"Finally." He said this before the woman laughed softly.

My eyes gradually brightened until I could see his whole face. It is true. I'm not really in heaven, I'm still alive!

I took a deep breath before clutching my chest. I looked back at the woman smiling at me and looked around.

"Where am I? Who are you?" I immediately asked him.

"I am Seia Merdival and you are here at my friend's house." He answered me immediately.

Seia Merdival. The name sounds like a foreigner.

"How 'bout you? What's your name?" he asked back.

"I am Meisha Estralia." I said before looking at my clothes.

I'm still wearing this, except for my wounds which are covered with cloth. He seems to have treated it.

"I'm glad you're awake. My friends and I are all worried that you might not wake up again." He said before standing up and opening a cabinet. It contains clothes.

"What do you mean by not waking up again? Don't tell me... how many days have I slept?"

He faced me before coming and placing the clothes next to me, "Absolutely, right. You slept for 5 days."

I was almost speechless because of what he said. If so, I've been asleep for five days. So it seems like something has changed in my body?

I was about to speak again when a sudden pain in my side caused me to moan softly.

"Are you okay?" Seia immediately asked when he saw my face was struggling.

I hadn't even answered when someone knocked on the door, "Ah, just a moment. I'll just open the door." He said before starting to walk towards the door.

The worry on his face was obvious while I was still trying to endure the pain in my side. I don't have to worry about injuring my side.

Meisha's POV

"Meisha.." I turned to Seia's behavior again. "Meet my friend, Finn."

I looked at his hand pointing to the man next to him. A tall man with navy blue hair stood in front of me.

So handsome...

"Hello." He said before smiling.

I also want to smile at him, but I can't help but ignore my side. It hurts more and more.

"Ugh!" I couldn't stop moaning in pain. Very painful. It felt like someone was poking and crawling on my side.

My breathing is also heavy...

"M-Meisha? What hurts you??" Seia asked worriedly before grabbing my shoulder.

I automatically felt a sense of danger, which made me look at it badly. It was surprised by my reaction, which is why it immediately moved away from me.

"I-I'm fine.. maybe I'm just hungry. You can leave me now." I said trembling.

"O-okay. If you want to take a shower, your clothes are right next to you. Just tell me if you need something." He said before they finally left.

"Ugh! It hurts!" I feel like crying because of the pain. It also seems to pinch my side.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before exhaling. I just do it again and again until I feel calmer little by little.

"Maybe I need to check my body." I whispered before taking the clothes that Seia had left for me.

Before I could even stand up, I suddenly felt my knee go weak causing me to fall to the floor. Shit. I was right in my suspicions.

It is obvious that my body will be weak because I have slept for five days and have not eaten.

"Tsk. Come what may." I just said before slowly standing up.

Somehow, I managed to get out of the room. It seemed like a few minutes before I got here. Too bad, I don't know where CR is going.

I held my breath again. I have no choice. I need someone to clean my body even if I look like a turtle.
