Third Person's POV
Like what they are usually doing at night, Fatima is doing the dishes, Sarah is cleaning the table, and Sandro is fixing the things that he needs for tomorrow's flight.
Everyone is doing their own job and have their own world. Everyone is busy.
After they finish what they are doing, all of them sit on their sofa. They are smiling at each other like nothing happens earlier. Their smile is a proof that the quarrel that happened is already finished, and that the anger in their heart has been removed.
"I have my business meeting in Beiyora tomorrow. I will leave early since the flight is at 6am," Sandro said.
The smile on Sarah's face automatically fades. Fatima and Sandro can see the loneliness in Sarah's eyes.
"How long will you stay in Beiyora?" Sarah asked her father.
"Maybe for 2-3 days," he answered.
"That long?" Sarah asked aga

Sarah's POVI look at my watch and I realized that it is already two in the afternoon. The sun is shining so bright and the sky is pure blue. I can't see no white clouds above. The heat that I am feeling right now is so intense.I know that I am not the only one who can feel the rising temperature. The people who are walking around the park, the couples in the other side, and the children playing for hours are now also dripping in sweat. The heat of the sun is making our skins to produce so much liquid that is adequate for our shirts to be wet.In order to relieve the hot temperature I am feeling right now, I decided to buy an ice cream. I think that the cold ice cream can ease the heat, somehow.When I arrived at the ice cream shop, that is located just few steps away from the center of the park, the queue is so long that the last person in the line is on the bench already. Many people are buying ice cream. I

Sarah's POVMy heart is pumping so fast. I am very nervous. What if the superstitions are true? And my father is in danger? What if something bad happened while he is on the plane? Or while he is in Beiyora?My mind is full of "what ifs". I can't handle this feeling anymore. I might explode anytime."Calm, Sarah. Be calm. Just think of positive things," I said to myself, trying to forget the nervousness I am feeling right now.I took a deep breathe and I let it out loudly, then repeat. With that way, what I am feeling right now will ease.I started thinking of any other reasons why I cannot call my father's phone. Maybe, he is in the middle of his meeting. Maybe, his phone has low battery. Maybe, he is just busy.Okay. I will just tell Miss Fatima about it. I know that she can help me. I know that Miss Fatima is not like me. She can control her emotions and she does not think

I started walking outside my room and make my way to the room of Sarah.I take a peek inside Sarah's room. Sarah is sleeping so safe and sound. I did not bother to wake her up. I read an article yesterday night that waking someone from sleeping peacefully can cause its neurons to die. Well, I do not want that to happen to Sarah, so I'll just wait for her to wake up herself.When I reached the kitchen, I made my own coffee to give heat to my body and also, to wake up my sleeping organs. While doing my coffee, my phone rings out of nowhere. I leave the kitchen and start finding my phone. Luckily, the ringtone is loud enough to help to find it.I get my phone inside the drawer. An unknown number is calling, but I still click the green logo.

Sarah's POVI believe in the saying "expect the unexpected" for that already happened to me several times. I always think about what is going to happen everywhere I go. This may sound so weird, but overthinking a part of my life.I never think of any positive if I am only thinking for myself. As a little girl who grew up in a house full of arrogant and competitive people, I always think that something bad will happen like failure. So what I did to myself is to think advance. I always think of everything that may happen, but this one, this happening now, I really don't think of it, even in my dreams."Rhea," I said with a soft tone when I saw her walking towards us.I can smell trouble. I know that once Miss Fatima and Rhea face each other, a scene will be created, just like what happened in the restaurant.

She deserves to be shamed in front of several people."Sarah, why are you smiling?"I get back in my consciousness when I heard the voice of Miss Fatima. I look at her before answering her question."Nothing. I just remembered what happened in the gymnasium.
