Krisha's POV
"Grandpa?... Grandpa?..." No, no, this can't be. My hands are trembling as I tried to reach his hands. I chew my lips when his hands are cold.
It's not happening, right?
"Grandpa, don't joke like this." He's not breathing anymore and his body are cold. And I know, he already left me at exactly first hour of my birthday.
What a gift?
There's nothing much I can feel right now was a pure sadness. He left me exactly at my birthday. He promised to always stay here by my side but how can he do it since he already left me.
Why does it seems that the person whom I love will left me sooner. I held my grandpa's lifeless hands and open his palm, putting it on my cheek. I felt the coldness of his palms.
"Grandpa, you left me. What am I going to do with me life now?"

Cassandra's POVI look at the shopping bags scattered on the floor upon dropping them off as I felt my hands numb.I have bought a lot of dresses, make-up, glasses, and so other fashion items.This is what I hate about being disappointed. I exaggerated when it comes to shopping. I bought useful and not useful items."How am I suppose to bring it to my dorm?" I asked to myself. I just scratch my head after what disaster has brought me. What am I going to do with it?"You seem to be going on a trip." I switch from front to back and met Zack. As I look at him, he seems just roam around and never tends to buy anything. He holds nothing. " Let me guess, you're disappointed." He added which he correctly uttered. After all, he still know some facts about me which has never change. I just nodded and made a face as I remembered the scene and how disappointed I am lately, till now. "Let me hel
Amira's POVI look at Krisha who was peacefully laying in the sofa. Instead of waking her up and ask her to went to her room, I get a pillow and a blanket. I slowly remove her arms and hold her head gently and put the pillow under so she can have a comfortable pillow and so that she won't be feeling numb on her arms when she woke up. I cover her with her blanket and close the door above her.This night was so cold and I just hope for tomorrows warm comforts.I went towards the kitchen and make myself a milk. I heard a footsteps that was coming towards my spot." Aren't you going to sleep?" Zeke asked me, pulling a chair and settle on it." I am not yet sleepy. " I answered. " What do you want? I'll make one for you?" I asked." I don't want anything. " He just answered and lean backwards. I shrugged and pulled a chair across him and place my hot milk. Silence came across us. It was already 10 and the surroundings was
Krisha's POVI quickly wipe off my tears and clean my face. I took out my jacket and my sunglasses and wore it before slamming the door outside."Where are you going?" Amira asked." I'm going to visit the lighthouse. I won't take a long time, I'll be back before dinner." I said as I went outside.As I walk there, I look around and remember how beautiful the childhood I was with my grandfather. I went towards the tree and touch it. In this tree, grandpa and I used to play hide and seek. I'll hide and he's going to find me.I smiled upon remembering those memories.When I saw my mother earlier, I wanted to slap her. I wanted to ask a bucket of questions on her. Maybe not having her in my childhood gives a bit of purpose.###As I went towards the lighthouse, the smiling face of my grandpa welcomed me in my mind." Be careful, there are some unrepaired part of the stairs." I can still he
Zack's POVKrisha was as cold as the night right now. We were outside, sitting on a bench in front of their house. I wanna talk to her but her silence made my step back arises. I know she's mad at me."How are you? It's been a days." She suddenly asked. I spun my head to her and her visage was reflected by the moon light and it clearly shows his emotionless mien. She's not looking at me but though I know she's waiting for my respond."I am good." I just answered. It took again a minute to cut off the wall of silence before she speak. My heart was throbbing so fast out of nervousness. I am nervous that in any time, I would make her cry and get angry at me. "Don't you wanna ask about me? Don't you wanna know wether if I'm okay or fine or not? Don't you wanna know what I'm feeling right now?" In her words, there's a taste where bitterness and pain are stirred together. I look at her and now, she had that water on her cheeks vastly running down to her ja
Krisha's POVBoth of us look at grandpa who was peacefully sleeping inside his coffin."I heard what you say." Zack started talking. I felt a bit embarrassed about it but I tried not to show him that I am. " I also pray that grandpa would help me getting you." He said and my lips flush in a smile. I did not talk and just let the time pass as we stare at grandpa."I hope he will allow me to be with you. If I hurt you in the future, I hope he will forgive me, so as you. If my leave would broke you, sorry." Said Zack. He looks at me and stared at my eyes.I don't know what to say but all I felt right now is the drumming of my heart."Krish, can I ask you?" I nodded at him. " Do you still love Zeke?" He asked. At that moment, I don't know what to say. It's not just I don't want to but because I haven't figure out what I have for Zeke. After showing Zack's affection towards me which I didn't feel to Zeke, I don't know if I alread
Patty's POVMy back feels numb at the number of minutes I have been looking down on my answer sheets. If exams could kill, I would have been laying here since lately, lifeless.I raised my brows and relaxed my eyes a bit for a better view. I look Krisha, Zeke, Zack, and Amira, they seems to be struggling about this exam as well.Who wouldn't be? We haven't had our copies to review with so the exam wasn't familiar to us.They might have given us long time to leave but just a minute on reviewing the missed lessons.

This wasn't the final exam anyway.I jumped as I feel freedom the moment I got outside our professor's office. I feel like I was am a bird being imprisoned in a net."Finally!"

We both know how eager our mom to go back the States. Although I doesn't want two, I can't force my mom's decision to make us stay here.I heard a cracking sounds of crackers as Zeke turned on his laptop and played a movie."You watch romantic movies?" I surprisingly asked as it was the first time to see him watch such a movie he once hated. He just nodded and smiled like an idiot when he skipped the movie into kissing scene. "Man! What are you doing?" I hissed and stay away a bit from him. He just laugh at my reaction then focus again on what he's watching."Amira and I watched it today and unfortunately we didn't finish it together. So, I am finishing it today to spoil her and tease her." Zeke said with a laugh called victor

I just shook my head and put the pizza on our table. I went to our cooler and grab some cold juices. After preparing the table. I went to the sofa and grab Zeke's ear and chop it into thousand pieces and put a hot sauce on it, just kidding!"Hey, quit that, let's eat." I called out but this idiot seems not of be hearing anything. "Hey!!" I shouted and thankfully it's not easy to get his attention out. " We're eating." I said."I am not hungry, just eat before me." He says and lay on his laptop again. Well, I just hope he got some eggs after laying for an hour on his laptop.&
