"What happened to you, Kianna? Are you alright?" Seki asked me as she stood up and soothed my back. I take a deep breath as I look at them with a confused face. "I..." I said with hesitation. "You what?" They worriedly looked at me. "I think I saw some... graduation memories." Teri gasped at what I said. I frown while looking at the table. "Why? What's wrong?" I tried to recall what I saw in that glimpse. It is indeed my vision or point of view, but... "I think something is wrong," I said. They look at me with questioning faces. "Hmm?" Ryuu asked. "Can you tell me what happened that day?" They were left silent. "Um, it is not good to push yourself to remember things," Seki reminded me. "Yeah." I know it very well. It is indeed not good to push myself to recall my memories, but I want to know who I really am. Who are the important people in my life? I'm really curious. Especially if... I have someone I love the most. We finished hanging out. We went shopping and ate dessert
I look at Drake. Did... Did I hear him wrong? "What is it again?" I looked back at him. He smiled and said, "Thoma~ hello Thoma," his gaze passed through me. Is it just me? Or was he looking into my eyes a while ago? I thought our eyes met, but maybe that's just my illusion. Right? "Woof!" Thoma barked as he saw Drake. He is not weary of him, which makes me surprised. I thought Drake saw Thoma from afar. Why do they look so close? Thoma is now walking around Drake. He chuckled and said, "It looks like Thoma likes me." "Yeah, he sure is," I replied. My room is not that small. It is big enough that even if two dozen people are here, there will be enough space for them to walk around. "So... Drake," I called him. Ever since we first met, I knew that he was kind. I don't feel any ill intention coming from him. "Yes? Why? What's wrong?" he asked me while holding Thoma in his arms. Wow, that was pretty amazing; even I can't do that since Thoma is as heavy as if I'm carrying a bab
I doubt I know how to respond. He... is a complete stranger to me. Everyone was. Still, I didn't feel any objection to what he said. I don't know. My mind is so annoying! I can't remember things, and... I don't even know how to respond... A knock on the door was heard. I should thank whoever it is for saving me from this silence. "Come in," I said. Loud enough for that person to hear my voice. I tried to divert my attention, hoping that Drake would finally let go of that topic. But then, what he says makes me pity him. "It's fine. No need to rush. I can wait." It was as if I'd been hurting this very guy in front of me. What did I do? Why... Am I feeling like this? It's as if my conscience is hitting on me. "Hey, don't overthink about it. As I said, no need to rush. Answer me whenever you want to. I can wait, Kianna. Even if it takes a million years." "Now, that sounds romantic, but in reality, can you even wait for a hundred years? I bet not." We both laugh. "Yeah, you got m
“Mom?” “What are you doing here? It’s getting late already. You should sleep now, Kieffer." She gently smiled at him as she turned off the lights coming from the flashlight she was holding, but the man she was talking to didn’t move an inch. “Hmm? What’s wrong?” The old lady asked as she glanced at her son, who seemed to be stuck in his place. “Ah... nothing mom” He responded as he clenched the piano piece in his hand. “Head back to your bed. Okay? "The mother didn’t glance back at his son and headed back into her room. Kieffer closed the box he opened and saw a piece of paper tucked in the cover of the box top. He was hesitant about whether he would pick it up or not. In the end, he decided to pull it and put it in his pocket, together with the piece of a piano key. *** “Ahh, that feels refreshing.” Kianna sits on the couch as she finishes taking a bath. She was already dressed in denim shorts that matched her off-shoulder laces. No one can deny that off-shoulders are some
"What a pleasant evening for everyone," a woman wearing a black gown greeted everyone whose eyes and ears were now on her. "Please enjoy yourself, and we all hope that you all find this celebration a wonderful and unforgettable moment of your life." The crowd started to clap, as did Kianna and Drake. She didn't bother to talk to the red girl and decided to head the other way. Drake followed Kianna, who didn't notice that he got some drinks from the waiter who was walking around. "Thank you" The crowd was busy talking to one another; there were some who decided to dance in the center of the hall as the music started to play. The orchestra is playing in one corner. "It seems like it was so bright in here," Kianna stated while referring to how lively this occasion is. Drake smiled and agreed to her statement. Each person who is invited to this big and secretive gathering handles big businesses. Drake was here too, since he is the representative of their company. Kianna, on the othe
Putting his empty wine glass in the tray the waiter is holding, he gets another glass of champagne. Before he even took a sip from his glass, a man called him and whispered. "It is all set," it informed the man wearing an emerald green mask. "Great," he answered while playing with his drink. "This will be one hell of a celebration. Worth coming, indeed." At the corner of the hall, the man with black and gray hair is standing alone. He was the one who saved Kianna earlier. Gazing at the crowd, he feels like he doesn't belong here. 'Noisy' He thought as he heard the endless chatter of each individual. He was holding his phone, and exactly when he swiped it, a message popped out. "They are all set.'' He quickly turns off the screen of his phone and smirks. He again looks at the people having fun under the music. A cold gaze can be seen beneath his mask. He looks at the north part of the building. 'Bang' He whispered, and soon after, the lights turned off. A gasp was heard echoin
Under the moon's light, a man is running his way out of the villa where a big occasion is held. In his hands, a bag with a simple design and somewhat torn sides emits a shining item from the inside. Yes, it was indeed. Golden Tiara of the Sun. The one and only tiara in the world that possesses all the exotic minerals and crystals compiled in just one item. Indeed, it is a treasure that was supposed to be bestowed in the eyes of the honorable guests that have been gathered today. But it isn't just that. This occasion was also a setup to track down one of the biggest criminals and the one and only Master of the Thieves. He is also a criminal, even in the underworld. With this occasion as a setup, police and commanders of the underworld made their moves to hunt down that man, who would probably make his appearance just to acquire the comparable item. 'Haha, those fools who would have thought their security was as fragile as a newborn child. They don't even stand a chance against me
"I shall go now, Kianna." Mr. Hinsen bid farewell to his daughter. It won't be cool for him to stay there while her daughter and her friends are having fun. He thought he would just ruin their fun and restrict their movements. It would be bad if Kianna didn't enjoy their reunion. It's been a long time since all of them gathered completely. "Eh?" Kianna asked. "I'll stay in one of our villas near my workplace. I still have a lot of work to do. Just enjoy this night and have fun." "Thank you, dad. Have a safe trip," she said, looking at Drake. "I should go too. Bye, Kianna. Goodnight." Drake smiled and bid farewell. "Bye, Drake. Thank you for tonight. Get home safe." "Yeah" With Kianna's dad and Drake going, Kianna was left with her friends. Patrish made her way to Kianna and smiled with a very scary expression. "Kianna, let's go. You should change your clothes." "No." "Let's go. You too, Scott!" "Hell no." "Scott, chu, come here, good boy." Exequiel called Scott as if he w
