Adzima pov
I was in my room thinking about something.
Adzima:'I think it's time to tell him'
Adzima:'I hope he doesn't hate me after knowing the truth'
After making up my mind, I left the room to look for Falco. I found him chatting with the Troublemakers on the couch.
Adzima:'He's been hanging out with them a lot lately'
Adzima:'I hope he didn't catch their idiocy..... Who am I kidding? Of course he won't'
I then approached them and sat next to Falco.
Adzima:"Can I talk to you, my prince?"
Falco looks at me, smiling.
Falco:"Yes, princess, what do you want to talk about?"
I took a deep breath, then I told him.
Adzima:"I am ready to tell you about "that" accident"
The Troublemakers were stunned when they heard this.
Falco:"Princess, I already told you, you don't have to"
Adzima:"But I want you to know"
Falco:"Okay, tell me"
When I was about to tell Falco, I noticed the Troublemakers standing up and looking like they were trying to leave, but I quickly stopped them.
Adzima:"You don't need to leave, guys. I probably need your help to tell the tale"
They sat back down after I said that.
Adzima:"So, where do I start?"
Adzima:"Okay... A few days after graduation, we held our graduation party at a café"
Adzima:"Only for our class, I don't know what the other class students are doing"
Ryan:"They also had their own graduation party, but at a different café and on a different day"
Adzima:"At first, everything went well, we talked and cheered each other while waiting for the others to arrive"
Adzima:"However, when chatting with Qori and Ina, my hands became extremely hot, so I immediately went to the restroom to wash my hands, which helped to relieve the burning feeling"
Adzima:"At first..... But when I was drying my hands with a tissue, my hands felt hot again, and the tissue I was holding suddenly caught fire"
Adzima:"I panicked and threw the tissue away, but the fire that had burned the tissue burst from my palm and burned the wall as I tried to throw it away"
I lowered my head when I remembered that.
Adzima:"That's what triggers "that" accident"
After I said that, my eyes welled up with tears, and my body began to quiver.
I tried to continue my story, but my voice was completely silent. When Falco noticed this, he instantly tried to calm me down by softly caressing my hand, while the Troublemakers continued my story.
Fian:"When café staff noticed the fire, they attempted to extinguish it at first"
Aditya:"However, because the fire spread so quickly, the staff shifted their priority to evacuating customers"
Riski:"Therefore, with the exception of Adzima, who was still in the restroom, all of us made it out safely"
Ryan:"Unfortunately, we only remembered Adzima after we were already outside, and the staff stopped us from entering to try to help Adzima"
Fian:"We are really sorry about that, Adzima"
I just nodded at them. I don't blame them at all for leaving me.
Tetron:"When we were all worried about Adzima, one of our late friend, one of our best friends....."
Tetron looked like he wanted to say his name, but for some reason, he decided against it and continued his story.
Tetron:"When our friend arrived, he was shocked to see the cafe on fire, so he asked us what happened"
Fian:"Then, when we told him that Adzima was still in the café, he rushed into it, ignoring the staff who tried to stop him"
I started sobbing when I remembered what he had done, but I regained my composure and continued the story.
Adzima:"As the fire grew, I couldn't get out of the restroom because the door unexpectedly locked, and because the fire that burned down the café expanded so swiftly, I began to lose hope and accept my destiny"
Adzima:"However, the restroom door abruptly opened, and he swiftly grabbed my hand and led me out of the café, which was on fire and about to collapse"
Adzima:"However, as we neared the exit, we noticed that the café's ceiling was about to collapse, so he firmly grabbed my hand and threw me until I managed to escape"
Adzima:"Sadly, as soon as I got out, the ceiling collapsed, blocking the exit and trapping him in the on-fire café"
Adzima:"We could still see him through the café window, and he didn't seem worried at all, in fact, he was smiling at us"
Adzima:"He then mouthed one word to us just before the cafe collapsed and crushed him"
Adzima:"One word that I will never forget for the rest of my life"
Adzima:"He said....."
Adzima:"Live"
Adzima:"When I saw that, I burst out crying and told everyone that it was my fault, but no one would listen to me"
After I said that, I hugged Falco and cried into his chest.
Fian:"We still can't believe what happened that day, so we don't know what to do"
Falco:"Do you blame princess now?"
Tetron:"No, our best friend sacrificed his life for her, so we won't disrespect him by hating her, we know that is not what he wanted"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are currently in a foggy forest looking for the next person, whom Falco said was a female who can control thunder and storms. Falco has held my hand without letting go since we got in the forest, which was enough to calm me down after I got emotional when I told him about "that" accident earlier. When we went deep enough into the forest, we heard booming thunder in the sky. Then a bolt of thunder struck just in front of us, and we saw the silhouette of a female appear from where the thunder struck. Before I could see her face, the girl ran up to me and suddenly hugged me.
Girl:"I'm so glad you're okay, Adzima"
When I realised the girl cuddling me was RJ, I immediately fell silent.
Adzima:'Oh no.... If she is here, that means he is also here'
I stepped closer to Falco, who was still holding my hand, when RJ let go of her hug. RJ smiled at me when she saw that, but I couldn't return her smile and just lowered my head. RJ then looked at the Troublemakers.
RJ:"Thank goodness you're here, I need your help to punch some senses into Arvin"
I was immediately worried after hearing that. What I was afraid of turned out to be true, he is also here.
Tetron:"What did he do this time?"
RJ:"Come with me"
RJ asked for us to follow her, but I refused with a shout.
Adzima:"NO!!!"
