Chapter 1 - Chap 1

Author's POV

"Gaa !! Gaaa !! Where are you ?! Gaa !!" The girl keeps shouting the name of a boy she loved so much, even though the wound and blood covered her tiny face and clothes, she didn't care. She just wanted to see and make sure Rega, her best friend was safe.

"Sha? Tasha?" said the boy half whispered "Yes, Rega. I'm here. Let's go now. We're going out from this place." said Tasha holding back her tears. Tasha can't stand to see her best friend in pain like this, Rega, who is usually cheerful and always make Tasha's days, until this unlucky tragedy occurs.

When Tasha untied Rega's hands and feet, suddenly a door screeched. They both panicked and didn't know what to do, Tasha quickly untied Rega until a pair of cold and pale hands stopped her movement "Sha, leave me here, please. You have to run, I don't want you to be hurt anymore." Rega replied, even though Tasha heard Rega's words, Tasha was still trying to untie the very strong rope, but the grip in her hand was even stronger "Sha! Please, I beg you. Get away from here. Now!" said Rega.

"No! We're going out together," replied Tasha, her tears already flowing like a waterfall. "No, Sha. Go. Now." said Rega, using the rest of his strength to release Tasha's grip from his hand. "Well ... Well ... Well ... look who's we got here. You want to save your prince, hm?" said a middle-aged man who made Tasha and Rega jumped in surprise. The man continued to walk towards the two of them while pointing a gun, they both could only stay silent, Tasha held Rega's hand tightly, as did Rega. "So, who wants to go first? How bout this pretty little girl," said a man with his smirk that made Tasha tremble. "That's enough. Just take me, not her," said Rega weakly. "Okay. Say bye-bye to your princess." then there was a gun sound.

DORR !!!

"REGAAAA !!!" Tasha shouted, waking up from her dream. 'Ugh that stupid dream again!' thought Tasha. Then, suddenly someone burst into her room "Sha! Are you okay?!" Tasha just stare confusedly at her brother who looked like someone in a trance. "Ehh… I'm the one who should be asking. Are you okay? You get into my room without knocking and screaming like a psycho," said Tasha as she get out of her bed. "Tch. You were the one who screamed," Agatha muttered.

"Whatever," Tasha reply indifferently.

Tasha Keira Alfayra is pretty but cold hearted girl. There is something that turns Tasha into a very cold-hearted, especially in boys.

At school, she was called the Ice Queen. Even so, boys still trying to be her boyfriend which makes some girls in her school jealous. However, Tasha didn't care. Since that day, the day she lost her parents and her first love. Only Agatha, and her best friend Reyna who knows what happened to her. Tasha and Reyna have been friends since they just entered elementary school. Although their personalities are very different, they complement each other.

Tasha is watching her favorite program until there is a message notification in her phone. Tasha turned her attention from the TV to her cellphone to see the person who sent her the message.

>Good morning, Ice gurl.

What?<

>Can you be nice just for one day maybe? You broke my heart *sobs

No.<

>Ouch.

>Now is weekend, right? Let's go out!

K. Pick me up.<

After getting an 'Okay' from her best friend, Tasha immediately rushed to her room and got ready. Tasha is not a feminine type of girl, she prefers to use torn jeans, T-shirt, jacket, and sneakers.

After she puts her clothes on, Tasha rushed to the terrace and wait for Reyna there. "Wow. Finally, my beloved sister is dating," said Agatha mockingly. "I went out with Reyna. I'd rather die than dating," replied Tasha indifferently.

"You deserve to be called Ice Queen," said Agatha and chuckle. Tasha, just rolling her eyes and playing with her phone. A few moments later, there sounds of a car engine approaching Tasha's house. Tasha recognizes the sound of that car. That's Reyna's car! Tasha walking to her brother and quickly pecks him on the cheek. "Alright, Reyna's here. I'm leaving. Bye~" said Tasha before walking out the door.

"Where do you wanna go?" Reyna ask after Tasha got into her car and put on her seat belt.

"Up to you."

"Are you okay?" Reyna said after hearing Tasha's answer.

Reyna knew something must have happened to her best friend. Tasha just sigh and shook her head.

"I dreamed about him again," said Tasha in a hush voice. Reyna who still focus on driving, could only rub Tasha's shoulder gently. Although Reyna shock, it had been years since Tasha had recovered from her trauma. It has been a long time since Tasha told her about the man named Rega.

"Did your brother knew about this?" Reyna ask, still rubbing Tasha's shoulder gently. Tasha just shook her head to answer Reyna's question. Reyna took a deep breath. She didn't like seeing her best friend like this. Even though Tasha was cold and ignorant, deep inside she was very warm and kind. If that tragedy didn't happened, Tasha would not have suffered like this.

Reyna decided to go to the playground they used to go when they were still in elementary school.

Reyna, Rega, and Tasha cannot be separated, even though they come from very different kind of family. Rega and Tasha come from wealthy families while Reyna is the daughter of Tasha's household maid. From there they became friends. But, suddenly something happened, and their life became miserable. Reyna remembers well when her parents were brutally murdered for protecting Tasha's family. Even now, Reyna and Tasha still don't understand why.

Reyna turn off her car engine, she was too deep in thought that Reyna didn't notice Tasha fell asleep. Tasha's eyes looking puffy also her nose. Reyna couldn't bear to see Tasha like this. For her, Tasha is her younger sister. Likewise, Tasha considers Reyna as her sister, even though they are only 2 months apart in age.

Seeing Tasha sleeping soundly now reminded Reyna of the memories she wanted to throw away. Reyna remembers how devastated and depressed Tasha was when her parents and Rega were taken by a group of mafia.

Fortunately, Agatha, Tasha's older brother moved quickly and took over his father's company.

"Re - Rega ?? Rega?" Reyna was still deep in thought, until she heard Tasha muttering call Rega's name.

"Sha, wake up. We're here." Reyna said softly, fortunately Tasha was one of the people who immediately woke up when she heard the slightest sound. Tasha stretched and opened her eyes slowly, she looked around her.

"Do you still remember this place?" Reyna asked Tasha. Tasha just smiled softly and hurried out of Reyna's car, and Reyna followed behind. Reyna had not seen Tasha smile this wide for awhile, Tasha was indeed cold, indifferent, and didn't seem to care about anything around her.

But, if you get to know her more closely, the image of Tasha being cold and ignorant disappears.

Reyna took out her cellphone and secretly snapped a photo of Tasha from behind.
