"Hey Sera Don't tell me you are going home so soon," Rexy said with a pout
"You're not looking cute," Sera said laughing at Rexy's face she was happy to see her, though she didn't expect to see her here because most of the students will come to the party and after that only they will join back for the studies.
"Let's go somewhere to eat I am starving and that professor fried me up by his lectures," Rexy said with a tiring face
Sera was about to ask about Rohan but she got an idea that he will come after-party only.
Rexy took out her car keys and take out her car from the parking area. Rexy car wasn't that flashy but yeah not the one anyone can afford whereas Sera didn't care about cars and all, she even never demand her stepfather when he was giving one to Aaron at that time.
When Sera was thinking about all this, Rexy shout at her "Will you make me starve to death? come on get your ass in here"
Rexy knows Sera don't like crowdy place especially when it comes to the man she gets scared for some reason it was surprising because as far as she remembers Sera was well trained in back days when she used to visit her place. Her mother used to train her a lot and even nowadays when she doesn't even give a shit after messing up with any rich girl whoever she will be but still get scared from a man whom she can take down in seconds it was really surprising for her.
Well, no one knows what trauma Sera suffered because of Aaron, he sure didn't go deep right now but what if someday he goes beyond even what she can think. It makes her shiver down her spine to even think about that but still, even his touch makes her feel disgusting, and because of her real father who abandons her, she feels like if she will tell anybody about this then everyone will leave her this fear of getting abandon to make her more and more weak day by day.
..
At H.R restaurant,
Ran decided to follow that nurse to make sure nothing is going wrong under their nose. She followed her whole while and saw come here to visit a lady. That lady was wearing a mask and big googles that had covered her face fully. And they both were a bit distant which makes it hard to hear what they were talking about.
But they didn't take long and that lady decided to leave first. When she was her leaving, Ran willingly bump into her, because of it that lady gets angry and said in a harsh tone "Are you blind?"
Ran apologized and noticed a mark on her neck only. That lady just left quickly without even listening to her apologies, Ran followed her quickly but get bumped into someone.
"Ouch! I am sorry, I was in hurry" Ran quickly apologized and covered her head with her right hand in pain
"That's okay" A polite voice come out from another familiar side.
When she saw it was Sera holding her head in pain she gets shocked, is it fate? or her luck? but without a second she said with a smile "Sera "
Sera get shocked seeing Ran there, she wasn't ready to face her yet, she didn't say anything and just stare at her unknowingly. But then Rexy came from behind and seeing Sera standing like this she was about to ask her what happened but then she saw Ran standing in front of her. Rexy doesn't want them to fight or argue after this long time.
Rexy quickly break the ice for lightening the tense atmosphere "Hey Ran, We're here to eat wanna join us"
Rexy was out for some family work last time when all the things happened between them and really don't get to know why they both fight because Sera soon move overseas to study without telling anyone and Ran also start keeping her distance.
Ran said hesitantly looking towards Sera "Will it be fine?" She wants to spend time with Sera and Rexy,
And want to know the reason why she does that to her... She doesn't care even if she slaps her without a reason but that day she saw that her lips can lie but her eyes were saying the truth she was crying that bold, strong, and calm girl was crying in front of her like she just can't take it anymore. She wants to know what's happening in her life because she knows how much Sera used to love her, she was always been there when someone tries to bully her or something happens to her.
Sera didn't reply and just went to the table directly. Rexy and Ran get confused but they take it as a yes and followed her. After placing the order, When no one spoke up for a while Rexy finally spoke up "Are you guys kidding me? I really can't eat in this atmosphere when at any second you guys will start fighting, just makeup guys... whatever happens just forget it"
Ran get surprised when Rexy suddenly pull out that topic and look towards Sera who was sitting with a straight face and scrolling media like she didn't even listen to anything.
They both didn't respond to that and just stare at each other. Rexy gets tired when she saw they aren't going to say anything she said with a hint of annoyance "FINE ! do whatever you guys want... I don't care but at least speak up for the old day's sake" she said after a pause
"Do you guys remember that Blackout ice cream?" Ran finally found some courage and try to speak about the old days to lighten up.
Rexy eyes sparkled after finally hearing her voice "Yes of course how crazy we're about that ice cream just because it was black in color" she chuckled.
"And that cafe where you have a crush on that boy and we used to suffer drinking their coffee daily" Ran said rolling her eyes upward
"Don't say it like that, he was cute" Rexy said pouting her lips
"Maybe he was but you're not looking cute right now" Ran said laughing at Rexy's face
"Now you too .. how can you both be so rude to me," Rexy said filling the air in her mouth
Seeing that Sera can't help but smile a little.
Rexy noticed that and continued talking about the old days "But I miss Sera's mom handmade pudding now that Sera is back I'll want to fill my mouth with that pudding"
Ran eyes sparkled when she heard the word pudding, "Hey I want that pudding too" she said out of curiosity.
Sera still remember how Ran and Rexy used to fight for her mother's pudding. But now that her mother's condition is like this she was hesitant to tell them about it and try to change the topic.
But Rexy and Ran were so excited that they just got up and Rexy said in excitement "let's meet auntie and eat pudding" Ran nods and follow her. Seeing them moving so fast Sera tries to stop them and excused "Wait! she's not home, you guys can't meet her right now"
Rexy was unstoppable because it's been a long since she saw her "So, what I'll wait for her" and move towards the car with Ran
Sera realized they were not gonna stop like this and can't hide it anymore now and said in a slow voice "She's in a coma, you guys can't meet her right now" but it was enough for both of them to hear.
Rexy hands stopped and even Ran get surprised after listening to what she just said, they both said in shock "What?"
Rexy walk towards her and grab her hands "What? When? W..What happened to her? Why you didn't tell us?" she said in disbelief that her best friend will hide this much from her.
But suddenly Ran grab Sera's hand and drag her towards the car. Sera got surprised by her sudden move. Ran said in an angry tone "Rexy come on drive the car.... we're going to see Aunt right now" Rexy followed her words and was about to sit in the car.
"No" Sera shouted at them and she doesn't want them to worry.
Ran got angry after hearing that "Why? if you're saying no because what happened between us then you don't need to it was between us and I want to see aunt right now".
Sera knows that Ran thinks of her mother as her own mother and in real Sera just don't want them to meet Aaron. But she just can't help and sit down in the car and just pray for his absence. And then finally, they drove off for the Royal Palace.
