The siblings didn't talked the whole night. Harrison slept in the sofa since his room is right next to her sister's. Yliah, on the other hand, who could not sleep because of what had just happened, stood up and took the box where her old toys and things when she was still a kid were piled up.
Rubber bands, toy guns, marbles, power rangers, transformers and other boy toys met Yliah's eyes. She didn't played any barbie dolls and other girl stuffs before for the excuse that Harrison like her to play with his toys. As the eldest, she didn't have a choice but to agreed and started playing with guys. Sometimes, she'll be mistaken as a tomboy. Well, year after year, she managed to like those things. And because of playing with guys, she also learned fistfighting like a boy. If guys can do it, why girls can't? She believed that every single person in this world has their own unique strength.
When she finally done taking out her toys from the box, she saw small papers under it. She get every papers and read it.
She suddenly covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. She just saw her drawing when she was still a kid and she find it very laughable. She's obviously didn't know how to draw after all because the people are drawn as a stick. She stopped from laughing when she saw a name above. Her handwriting isn't good but she still can read it.
"Damuho, Dada, D- odong?" she uttered. Dodong? Who is this? She can't remember any Dodong before. She only can remember those peasant kids and Harrison. Is it possible that this Dodong is one of the peasants she played to before?
She read the next paper and was surprised when she figured out that it was a diary.
'Eh? I also write diaries before?' she chuckled.
She started reading it slowly.
Dear Diary,
I don't know why Mom and Dad always go abroad. They always left me with Harrison in the house. Luckily, Yaya Sonya and Dodong is with us and we didn't felt lonely!
Dodong is so cute. I thought it was my first time seeing his face but I was wrong. We've met in the Plaza of Saint Ines before! He was the man who helped me stand up when the other kids laughed at me when I fell off in my bike. He's also the one who thought me how to control myself on riding my bike. My Prince! Prince Dodong, I can finally live with him in our palace!
Yliah slapped her whole face. She's so cringe before. But for real, Dodong isn't one of the peasants, but the one who she treats as her Prince after all. But why is that she can't even remember a single memory with him?
But Damuho always interrupted us. I always saw them fighting with Dodong. He even invited me to join there fight once! I wouldn't have want to join them but Damuho suddenly throw a punch at my face and because of angriness, I kicked him back. Dodong suddenly joined our fight because he didn't get his revenge at Damuho earlier so in the end, it was the three of us fighting under the rain. Our white school uniform was filled with dirt and mud. And then, Yaya Sonya came and we got scolded. She let us three kneel and smacked us in each of our butt. But we didn't feel any pain because we have covered it without Yaya Sonya knowing it. After that, Damuho stood up and pushed me. But I was lucky enough that Dodong is there to give hands on me and helped me stood up! Diary, do I have a crush on him? My Prince! I want to marry him someday and we will be a happy couple! Hihihihihi!
Yliah returned the papers back to the box and closed her eyes.
Just how cheezy and cringe is she before?!
But who really is this Dodong, huh? Is she realky the prince in her life? Where is he today? Maybe she already forgot this man because it's already been 10 years passed.
Maybe she will just try to speak and ask Harrison tomorrow.

Yliah wakes up when she smell a scent of her favorite lasagna. She get up quickly and do stretches.
Yliah rushed towards the kitchen after that and saw two handsome guys in an apron. She was shocked when she realized the other one.
It was Khrysler standing in her front while smiling as usual... He even held a chair for her.
"Good morning, sweetheart." Khrysler greeted and her world suddenly stopped.
Why is Khrysler here? And he was in Harrison's front!
Do they know each other?
"Dada." Harrison called. He got her sister's attention but when Yliah looked back to where was Khrysler is standing, he's already gone.
She shook her head and grab her hair.
"I'm just seeing things.." she mutter. She admit she missed Khrysler. She didn't saw him again after that intense fight with her brother at the library.
She sat and took a burnt slice bread. She put a cheese mayonnaise on it. Harrison suddenly put a plate of lasagna on her front.
"Eat that." she ignored him.
"I made it, Dada. Sorry about yesterday." she stared at her brother's face and she can guarantee that he's dead serious on it.
She suddenly bursted out laughing that made Harrison's brow raised.
"If you can see your face right now, Damuho, it's really a laughtrip! I should have brought my phone with me so I can capture that face of yours! Haha!"
Harrison closed his eyes of irritation.
"I'm fvcking serious here, bitch!"
She just laughed at Harrison's expression but she suddenly remembered what she wanted to ask.
"By the way, we have a childhood friend called Dodong, right? And Yaya Sonya knows him too."
Harrison paused from eating.
"Yes, what about him?"
"I didn't see him here in Saint Ines. Did he moved?"
Harrison shrugged and continued eating.
"He's in Spain. Why did you asked?"
"Because he didn't pay a visit on us. I'm just wondering, where is he? Did he forgot about us?"
"He didn't forgot about us. Like what I've told you, he's in Spain. Maybe her parents are busy studying him."
Yliah just nodded sadly.
"Oh, so he's in Spain? Mom and Dad are there too." Harrison nodded. Yliah stood up.
"Anyways, I'm off to school now. See you there."
"I'll take an absent today." she gave a question look to him. It's still 6am. He still have enough time to attend his class, he wouldn't be late again.
"I'm going to crash a fvcking spirit today."
_ _ _
"Oh? How are you Yliah?" Mrs. Pasing greeted her. She's the cafeteria's best chef.
Yliah thumbs up even if she's confused. "I'm alright, Mrs. Pasing."
Why did people always ask her that? It's not like she went through a difficult life though.
She ordered a food before sitting in a vacant seat. She remembered what Harrison said earlier that he wants to destroy a spirit.
"Is he stupid? What kind of spirit would he destroy? He maybe wafched too much paranormal movies." she said.
"Oh? You are.." a group of three students suddenly stopped in Yliah's front.
"Elena, right? The one who danced with Khrysler the other day!" they said.
Yliah's eyebrows arched. She's not Elena but she got interested after hearing Khrysler's name.
"Stupid. It's Eliyah not Elena." said the other one.
"It's Yliah." the three both looked at Yliah and nodded.
"Stupid! Yliah not Eliyah!" the two said.
Yliah furrowed her eyebrows.
"Who are you?" the three hugged each other after Yliah said those.
"I know she couldn't recognize us."
"I pity myself."
"I pity ourselves."
Yliah mentally rolled her eyes and contiued eating. She know she'll just waste her time if she tolerate this three.
"You really can't remember us?" Yliah just shook his head.
"Then, you should watch this video." one of them said. Yliah furrowed her eyebrows as she get the phone from the anonymous girls.
"I hope you can remember us after this."
She clicked the play button. From the video's cover, it's obvious that it happened in the university's parking lot.
"So guys, This is Sazi Reyes vlogging! We're currently here now in the parking lot of our University. And guess what we saw?" Sazi said while Joy and Chan giggled in her back.
"Yes! You guessed it right! A girl asking a man to dance in a parking lot! What do you think will happen next?" Sazi asked again.
She showed a guy and a girl in the camera.
And that girl was Yliah.
"I don't remember this scene." she pressed her forehead.
"Oh c'mon, don't you know how to dance?" the Yliah in the video says. She saw Khrysler in her front. She was slightly shock. Why is it always him? What's really the connection between them? Yliah doesn't really remember a thing.
"I'm just a bit disappointed that something is missing." Yliah was confused. Is there something missing? His outfit is good, and Sazi even brought a speaker.
"What is it? Do you want more audiences?" Khrysler shook his head and aggressively held Yliah's waist. As soon as their body touches each other, they felt an unexplainable feeling they never felt before.
"A beautiful partner is missing, sweetheart." Sazi, Joy and Chan giggled in the video, even now that they only watched it, they still giggled. While the poor Yliah who didn't remember anything was blushing confusely. That Khrysler guy already touched her gorgeous body?
Joy turned on the speaker she holds while Chan was the one who chose the song when she suddenly clicked one of Taylor Swift's songs.
A one song that is typically not suits to be a waltz music.
Taylor Swift's Fearless.
Chan was about to change it when Khrysler raused his left hand in the air, means that he liked the song and he didn't want her to change it. Chan just nodded confusely.
What's with this song? It's obvious that it's not for a waltz music but he still chose it.
The video suddenly ended. Yliah wanted more. She wanted to know what happened after that. But the video only stops there..
"What happened? Why is it finished already?" she asked the three.
"My phone's battery got low that time, haha!" Sazi said and gets her phone back from Yliah's hands.
"What happened next after that?" Yliah asked curiously. She felt uneasiness. Not because of what will might happen next, but because of the car in their back at that time.
The car looks familiar..
"We don't know. You both get inside your car and drove down the road. Who knows what happened next?" the three giggled again. They really tease the poor Yliah who forgot the whole thing.
"My car?" her brows raised. She only have one car. And that car was her mother's birthday gift last year.
Her car is in the university's parking lot. It's impossible that she ride her car with Khrysler that time. But.. it's also impossible that the video is just an edited one. The scene in that video is real, not even a single edited scenes cannot be seen.
"Of course. And after that, this is still the first time we met again. Where's Khrysler by the way? You should supposed to be with him, your sweetheart." Joy teased.
Yliah started to doubt things. Why does she really can't remember? They didn't also seemed to lie because they was even teasing her. She suddenly remembered the car where they danced in its front.
Her eyes widened when she realized something. She stood up and left the three who became curious of her sudden gesture.
Yliah went to the University of Saint Ines's parking lot. The parking lot where all of it happened..
But the car she saw yesterday isn't there anymore. The car which she saw her name carved in there.
"Mang Anton, where's the car you cleaned yesterday?" she asked the guard. She even went to the gate just to ask him.
"Ah, about that. The mother of the owner ordered to get his son's car here that's why one of their male maids came here and get it."
Yliah sadly looked down. What if the owner of the car isn't living in Saint Ines? She like to ask if she's connected to the car or the owner who died. She wants to ask if Khrysler and herself is connected in this.
"Also kid, don't worry. The owner is living here in Saint Ines."
Yliah nodded at the guard and turned around. Her face became serious. She's not stupid to not realize a thing.
Who's Khrysler? What did he want from her? She went back to the parking lot and as expected, she saw Khrysler standing there.
She controlled not to get mesmerize by his smiles and approached him.
"Is something wrong?" Khrysler asked.
"Nothing. Why?"
"Your face seems in trouble."
Yliah was amused. How can he know her well?
"Yliah.." Khrysler whispered.
"Hm?" Khrysler offered his hands. "Would you like to dance with me?"
Yliah was about to give her hands but she suddenly remember something. This scene.. they will going to dance in the parking lot. She saw it clearly in the video with her own two eyes. The different is Khrysler was the one who invited her to dance.
"What if I don't?"
Khrysler was surprised on her answer. But he still smiled.
"Then I'll do everything to make you dance with me. This will be the last dance, Miyamizu."
Before Yliah could even react, Khrysler automatically held her waist.
They started to dance waltz.. but in different song. Yliah suddenly heard Taylor Swift's Fearless song.
Only problem? The song came inside from her car. She was sure she locked her car before leaving it. How come Khrysler unlocked it?
Just like what the three says, they got inside the car after they danced. Yliah insisted on driving. While they're driving, Khrysler was the one who guide her the way.
Khrysler asked her to stop the car under a narra tree. She nodded and clenched her black purse. While Khrysler looked away, Yliah opened her black purse and get her scissors inside. She made her decision. She'll threat his life if he won't admit who he really is.
When Khrysler faced Yliah, he was shocked and wasn't able to speak.
The scissors was pointed at his heart, and it's already an inch apart.
"Who are you?"
The mesmerizing smile of Khrysler vanished.
