Chapter 4

Lost Of Words

......♡......

When Miki decided to went there next time—she means now and then.And now,she's there again to visit her sister.

Her sharp eyes staring at people who walked passed by her.She walked slowly when she saw a familiar figurine.

His back were facing her.

"Hale!"Miki shouted that makes people looked at her but not him—not Hale.

Miki started to walked towards Hale,near his side but six feet apart.She saw there's a girl who's in front of Hale—they were talking.But that doesn't stop Miki.

"Hale."Miki almost whispered.

He didn't looked again but the girl noticed her.

"You know her?"the girl point behind Hale's.

His head turned to her direction.There was no suprised on his face.

"Hey!"

They looked at each other.No one budged.Miki was glad to saw him again.Her friend when she was in Gree Elementary School.When she's in her Grade Six.

"I don't know her,"Hale said before she looked at the girl.

Miki's eyes became watery.She gulped then gulped again.Before she walked passed by him.

"But she knew me..."

Then she stopped when she heard it.

"...one of those attention seeker."He added.

She was shot by those words.Her hand brought her index finger to her lips then she bite her finger hardly until it bled.

Miki let go her hand.Doesn't mind her finger that was bleeding.

"This is your second time visiting me.I wished you would come again."Solar hold Miki's hand that was on the table until she noticed Miki's index finger.

"Did you bite it again?"Solar let go of Miki's hand.

She checked her bag if she has ointment and gauze on her bag.But she hasn't.

"Can I go home?"Miki forced herself to talked."I can manage this at home."she assured Solar that she would be okay.

"Next time.I would visit you again."

That next time turns into five months.Time could be fast and slow:seconds,minutes,hours.But definitely days were fast.

"Hale has a girlf—"

Miki faked a cough.She doesn't want to hear more thing about him.Probably Calista knew that.

"You should forget him.Tomorrow was better than yesterday.Be better Miki.Be better."Calista pat her back hardly.

"I know.Seven years was long enough for him and I just have five months to forget him,"Miki said."Still I am fine."

Calista stand from lying in Miki's bed."Actually,I almost forgot our elementary couples.They were everywhere for almost a year but now their ship was sunken."

Miki didn't want to hear about him again.But Calista can't be stop like her.It is good and bad for her—knowing Hale was in a relationship right now.

"You said their ship was sinking?"Miki stopped and think if she said a correct word or not."But somehow,is it possible that Rylee isn't his girlfriend?"

Calista intriguing smile hit Miki's unfamiliar side.

"I'm curious Calist!"

"Yes.Rylee isn't his girlfriend."Calista answered."I'm going to get some snacks."she go out from Miki and Solar's room.

Miki get up on her bed.She opened the window to have fresh air in their room.Her eyes dropped from the view outside to the table infront of her.

She placed her hand in the table.There were many higlighter,pens,notes and more.It was her favorite stuff before but her sister still wanted to placed it there.In case Miki wanted to used it again.

She remembered how those stuff make her eyes sparkle.The way it gaves her calmness and satisfaction.

Those were days she enjoyed small things.

"I used to enjoyed these but now...I think it wasn't for me."she whispered to herself.

She was about to walked away when she noticed something.In a place that full of sticky notes one thing was different that grabbed Miki's attention.

A small piece of paper that was torn from a notebook.

Miki picked the paper.

She was sure that it isn't her thing.She loves every color except plain white and she doesn't torn small piece of paper from a notebook.

"Number?"

A phone number was written in that paper.She wasn't curious but she wanted to know who's the owner of it.

Is it Solar's officemate number?Hana?Their mom?Dad?Maybe it was another company's CEO?

Miki immediately grabbed her phone to contact the owner.

She typed the first number.She feel nervous as she typed the number one by one.In any minute Calista could enter their room.Or even Solar.

What would she answer when she was asked by Calista?Her sisiter Solar?They probably annoyed her.

Is she nervous because of that?

She take a deep breath before tapped the call.It is ringing.After two more ring,one woman answered.

"Hello?"a calm voice that immediately triggered Miki's system.

She ended the call after that.

"Hey!"

Miki looked at the door where Calista stand.Calista has pocky on her mouth while brought their snacks.

"Help me!"Calista excitedly shout at Miki.

Miki left her phone and the paper on the table.She can't changed her reaction from what happened before Calista entered their room.

"What happened?"Calista noticed Miki's aura—full of ranged and flammable.
