Selina's POV
'My body didn't feel the pain anymore. It seems that Seraphina was healed by someone. I felt bad for her. It's the first time of me being worried with someone else. I guess it's hard for her to live in such a total reverse of her life's
After diving in my deep thoughts, I finally opened my eyes slowly. And as I open it, I saw bunch of people gathered together in my front; crying and whining on me.
"Thank god, you're alright Seraphina!"
"I'm so glad!"
"Seraphina already woke up!"
"REALLY?"
I pulled myself up and sat down.
The room become noisy and the people were so glad to think that I'm fine. My heart wants to jump out on its own and suddenly, for the first time, I had tears.. Not in sorrow, not in anger, not in hatred but in joy. I had a tears of joy!
'So this is the feeling of loved by everybody around you..'
"Guys, can you stop making noise? Look at Seraphina, you all make her cry!" uttered Aliciah
"We're so sorry, Seraphina.." they said
"Oh no-no.. I'm okay, I'm fine" I said while wiping my tears with my hands.
"You know what, just go. We don't need you all here" said Aliciah
"Hey, were also her friends why would we leave her?"
"Alright, alright.."
"She's right!"
"Hmmp!" Aliciah respond
"Guys.. It's okay if you all leave me here" I said
"WHAT?!" they shouted in chorus
"What are you saying? We need to supervise you. What if anything happen again and we can't even save you?" protested Leo
"We can't let you hurt again.. " implied Yessha
I gave them a big and true smile and pat their shoulders.
"Guys, thank you for your concern. But how can I have my progress, how can I grow if I'm always depending on all of you. I know I'm such a weak girl, a timid, cannot even fight, but I'm okay.. As long as I can see you all smile, I have my strength" I said
They all burst in tears after I said that.
"We understand you, Seraphina.."
They all slowly came out of my room.
"Huhu, our little Seraphina is a grown woman now, huhu~" cried Aliciah
"It's okay, Aliciah. Kids have to grow" said Leo and comfort Aliciah while leaving
'Who's the kid?'
I lay my back to the bed once again and close my eyes.
Suddenly, the rooms door creaked so someone came inside.
"How are you?" the voice chills me up and that causes me to open my eyes
I saw Dex on my front staring directly to me.
'This guy have a guts to visit me? His face reminds me of Devious, how to get rid of him?'
'Youre too shallow Selina, that's why people hates you..'
I clentch my fist as soon as I remember it.
'It was damn so... It's so.. damaging'
I actually had a tears on my eyes but I smiled.
'I was hurt by that words? Ridiculous!'
As soon as he saw my expression, he rushed in front of me and hugged me. His action makes me speechless.
"Don't fake your smile, I know you're hurt"
'Are.. Are he saying these for me?'
"People had their own weaknesses even though you're the strongest man on Earth." he continued
He let go the hug and sat beside me. I just looked on him on his every actions.
'Its kinda weird eh?'
"Here, wipe your tears."
He handed me a tissue while looking in other direction. I accepted the tissue and wipe my tears.
'Hes on guard on himself. He's not easy to get along with. I have to be careful if I want him to befriend of me.'
"Dex?"
"Hmm?"
"About what I said earlier, about that friendship thingy. Do you agree to it?" I asked
"Argh, is that really a big thing to you?" he yelled
'Oh no! Did I do a wrong move?'
"I-I'm sorry----"
"Why can you let it go just for a minute?"
'What does he mean?'
I looked at him. His expression was angry but in his eyes I saw the care.
"Why didn't you care about yourself the most? For that thing you asked me? It's just an easy talk. I can agree but why do you care in other's feeling so much instead of thinking about yourself?"
I just head down for a moment and keep on silent.
"That's why I don't want to be close from you, that's why I hate you. I hate people like you!"
'Dex, I'm afraid you'll never know..'
"It's so sad to be lonely.." I said and that makes him become silent
I looked at him with an eyes full of emotion.
"It's so sad to be hated.."
'Back then, I was a good-for-nothing vampire. Always ignores by everyone, hated, cursed, bullied and hurt. Why can't I live in such a peaceful life?'
"It's so sad to know that there's no one believes in you, no one loves you. In this life, you can't earn happiness by power and money. You will get tired of it as the day passes by. All you need are friends and family who always cares for you. I have it now in my hands so why let it go?"
My words made him speechless and let him think for a while. Suddenly, he stood up.
"As for your question, I said yes" he turned his eyes to me and smile
It was the first time seeing that face smile. His smile is like a rain that showers all the joy to me. I also smiled to him.
'Its a good thing, I've made it!'
"Thank you for accepting it, you will not regret on making the decision"
"As you said.."
We walk until we reached the door of our room. He stops and I also stop.
'Why did he stopped?'
"Seraphina, that words you said earlier.."
The wind rustle between us.
'Why do I feel nervous?'
"I will remember it" he said and opened the door.
I was just frozed there for a moment not making any move. What's wrong with me? Am I... No, impossible. I can't fall in love!
