Finally, the words burst out from her mouth as she no longer wanted to contain the furry in her heart.
Everyone, who heard her, were feeling kind of complicated, they did heard her say she want to leave, but they seem to care about this matter so much.
" Aranya, what are you talking about? ", Mr Taylor asked her again as he was having problem to understand why she was suddenly asking about leaving the university.
everything was OK before, there was no problem and Aranya never asked to go out let alone ever about she wanted to leave the institution. It was the first time she had talk about this topic and in front of whole public...
Mr Taylor refused to believe it was something she wanted.
" Did...did someone bully you? did they asked you to leave? what happened...what happened Aranya? tell me....", Mr Taylor asked Aranya.
he was indirectly asking her if she was under someone's influence.
Aranya step back a little. " No...no one told me this nor I am telling you because someone's threatening me. I...I just realised I am not made for this place ", Said Aranya as she look at everyone, she could feel how much the people inside the gallery hated her.
And realised that she no longer belong to this place. The moment she talk about leaving, this place became stranger to her. She was no longer the same Aranya.
" Why don't Mr Taylor just tell her to get out and scramm from here? for how long does he want to hold onto her? ", The teachers were talking between each other as they glared at Aranya with hatred fill in eyes.
Aranya was looking all weak and trembling a while ago, she also know how much Mr Taylor care for her. She was sure he won't let her go no matter how much others hate her. And there was no choice now....
" Thud....".
" Aranya fall on her knees on the ground.
She joint her hand palms together and looking at him with sadness and expectations in her eyes.
" Mr Taylor, I remember that years ago, it was you who order Mrs Shan to save me and then brought me here as there was no one left from my family. You gave me shelter, a place to stay and sleep...you are my saviour and I won't ever forget it. When I first step in in this institution, I thought if taking revenge for me family. But now, after years...I realised that I no longer that person. I don't have any ability to wield the sword or kill anyone. So please...let me go ", She stop after a long speech but was not finished yet.
" Please...please Mr Taylor, grant me the wish to leave this place ", Aranya was literally begging him to let go of her and give her the permission to break free from this place.
Mr Taylor heard all he wanted and understand all he wanted. At first, he was against of letting her go, but seeing her situation and how desperate she was to go from this place, he didn't wanted to become the shackled in her life.
If granting her the permission to go from this place was a blessing for her, he was ready to let go of her.
He bend down and extend his hands in the air, forwarding them slowly slowly towards her, he finally touch her shoulder...." Raise. You are the honourable student of this institution and I can't allowed to beg to me. As the head of this institution, I grant you the permission to leave this place ", Said Mr Taylor as he help her get up.
Aranya raised as she was supported by Mr Taylor. She was happy that he finally said yes to her proposal.
Jammy Lukan was smirking devilishly on the side. He was impressed by her act, never thought that the toughest task could become this easy when it fall in her hands.
The head of the institution Mr Taylor stand straight and proud in front of the crowd. " I, the head of Werewolf Slayer Institution, Mr Taylor, announced today in front of all present students and teachers, Aranya, the disciple of thsi institution is granted the permission to leave this place whenever she feel like ", Mr Taylor announce in front of everyone.
Leaving the institution was very difficult task, inky for those people who had no family and relatives. But Aranya was back up by Mr Taylor and she mention this topic in front of the whole academy. That is why the head of the institution agreed so early.
" Thank you so much, Mr Taylor. I will never forget your good deed of today ", Said Aranya as she bow to him and thank him for making the whole things so smooth.
The whole university was shock and surprised at the same time. It was strange, they didn't expected Mr Taylor to let go of her so easily.
" Dismiss ", The meeting was finally dismiss.
Ellie walk to her Aranya. And then hugged her suddenly, Aranya was shock to this sudden action of her.
" Are you ok? ", Asked Ellie in worried and sad tone.
Ellie was with Aranya from the moment she arrived at this place and have always supported her, this was the first time she was seeing her asking for something desperately.
Aranya patt her on the back as she smile softly. Only she know how many lies she have told Ellie and that she was never sincere to her apart from the friendship they share.
" I am sorry Ellie, I am enable to tell you anything about myself. I know I have always lie to you, but I don't have a choice...I am a sorry ", Aranya murmur in her heart while patting Ellie.
" Hey, I am asking your something. Are you ok? ", Ellie asked again.
She was super nervous and worried because Aranya was not talking to her.
" I am fine...I am totally fine ", Said Aranya while comforting Ellie.
Ellie break free from the hugged and look at her seriously.
" If you are alright then why you do asked to leave this place? did someone really threaten you, as Mr Taylor said? ", Ellie asked, she was super anxious.
Aranya bite her lips. " No, no one threaten me. I...finally realised I dint belong here. Do you...do you see this injury on my neck, I got it this morning. When I can't even protect myself from my own sword, how am I supposed to protect others. It's really sad of me to say this, but I have decided. I will this place tommorow morning ", Said Aranya as she take Ellie's hand on her hands and touching them gently.
Ellie never cried before but listening to her cruel words, she was really going to cry hard. Aranya was the only one who she regarded as the best friend and she was the only one for that.
" Don't cry, I am just leaving this place and nothing would change between us. I will keep sending your letters ....ok? ", Aranya was trying her best to appeal to her and make her comfortable.
Ellie was on the verge of shading tears, but didn't cry even when there were tears. " I...I understand, you have full right to make decisions regarding your life, I won't interfere. I...I will give you my blessing ", Ellie didn't pursued this matter any further.
She didn't had the personality to dragged things to another leven and make something out of it.
Since Aranya had decided already, she would respect her choices.
Hearing that, Aranya hugged her again. " Thank you so much Ellie. I will never forget how pretty and kind hearted you are...you are always gonna be my best friend and this place can not be taken by anyone, I promise ", Said Aranya while hugging her tightly.
Even though Aranya hide many things from her, there was one thing in which she was so sincere, Ellie was always the person who lighten up the small hope in her world. No matter the situation, she was always going to be the malt brightest star in her world.
" Then....since you are leaving tommorow, want me to help you pack up your things? ", Asked Ellie in sweet tone.
" Of course, I would love to ", Aranya did had many things hidden in her room. But there was no chance she would leave anything behind.
She was going to pack normal things first until Ellie would stay with her and then she was going to pack her secret stuff after Ellie leave.
" Tsk! you really forget me whenever this Ellie come close to you ", Jammy Lukan was standing on the side, waiting for Ellie to leave. But then smile softly knowing that the both girl were like glue to each other, never saperating from each other.
" I wonder what jammy is doing at the moment. He said that he wanna leave with me, so...what is he gonna do next ".
