I Need Her

On the next day, Sotean wakes up early but still lying on his bed thinking about his dream.

"Oh...Sereka!"

He muttered to himself while smiling.

Then suddenly come back to his senses and said.

"Huh? Why I'm thinking about that? It's just a dream. Nothing like that gonna happen, I think too much. Stupid me."

Then he gets up and starts getting ready for school.

When he's ready, he lock the door of his home and went his way to school.

On his way to school, he meets Sereka.

"Hey! Sotean. Good Morning."

Sereka greets him with a smile on her face.

Sotean looks at Sereka surprisingly.

Then think.

"She's so cute. I can't believe I have someone like her as my best friend."

Sereka look at Sotean confusingly and said

"Huh? What's the matter Sotean ?"

Sotean came back to his senses and then replied.

" Um... Oh Yeah! Good Morning heh heh heh."

He said with a smirk.

Sereka looks confused by Sotean's reaction.

Then she asked.

"Did something happen? You're acting weird."

"Huh? N-N-N-No, N-N-N-Nothing happens really."

Sotean replied with a smirk.

"Really ?"

Sereka asked him doubtlessly.

"Y-Y-Yeah. I swear, I'm not thinking about marriage with you."

Sotean replied panicking

"Huh ?"

Sereka's face turns red in embarrassment.

"I-I-I mean, I am just happy to get a wonderful girl like you as my wif- I mean as my best friend. Heh heh heh."

Sotean said with a fake laugh.

Then think that.

"Oh crap! What the hell I'm saying to her ?"

"Um...Sotean."

Sereka said earnestly while looking at the ground but still, her voice is so sweet.

"Y-Yes"

Sotean replied.

Then think.

"Dear Father and Mother in heaven, Your Son's first love is going to end. Hope I will come there soon."

Some little tears appear in his eyes.

"Well, I think we have to go to school now or else we will be late."

Sereka said with a little fake smile on her face.

Sotean looks at her and thinks.

"Maybe she doesn't mind that. After all, she also loves me."

Then he replies.

"Oh yeah. Let's go."

Then they walk their way to school.

Sereka look a bit serious and also she didn't talk to Sotean while walking to school.

Sotean thinks while looking at Sereka while walking to school.

"Strange. She didn't even look at me."

When they enter a class.

Sereka walks towards her seat without looking back at Sotean.

Sotean looks confused because of that but then he is a sudden shock and thinks.

"Is that because she hates me now. Oh God kill me now. I don't want to live like this."

There was some tear in his eyes.

Then he went towards his seat and sit there.

Then the teacher enters and everyone stands up to greet the teacher.

On lunch break,

Sotean went to the rooftop and when he reaches he sat down on the bench.

Sotean sigh then thinks while looking downward.

*sigh * " What should I do now? I think now she's not gonna go with me to The Place of Infinite Possibilities. I am all alone again."

Then he closes his eyes and a memory of his past appears in his mind.

"He saw his late parents. He saw them playing with him when he was just a 5-years old little boy.

Then he sees the time when his parents leave him alone in this world. And then he sees the time when he was all alone and no one is there for him.

Then suddenly a girl come near him and asked to become friends and that girl is Sereka and then Sotean got one person in his life except for his late parents. He sees Sereka's face smiling while looking at him."

After seeing his past Sotean opens his eyes and muttered to himself.

"I don't want to lose her...just like them."

He feels alone. Sereka didn't come to the rooftop.

Suddenly tears fell from Sotean's eyes unexpectedly.

"Huh? Why? Why I'm crying ?"

He muttered to himself.

He remove tears from his hands but still, tears didn't stop falling.

"Why? "

He muttered to himself.

"I just...I just don't want to lose her."

He thinks while removing his tears.

Then he look at the sky and said to himself.

"Maybe. I wish she will come back."

Then lunch break is over.

Sotean went to his class.

After school, Sotean went outside the school and waited for Sereka.

He muttered to himself.

"I don't think that she will come."

Then he was about to walk away but suddenly he hears a voice.

"I don't think you can able to go without me."

Sotean eyes widen and are filled with some drop of tears.

He looks back and sees Sereka standing in front of the school gate.

She is looking at Sotean while making a serious face.

"We don't have much time to waste. So let's hurry up."

She said then start walking away.

"Sereka."

Sotean muttered.

Sereka look back and said to Sotean.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go."

She said seriously.

"Y-Yeah. Let's go."

Sotean said.

Then they start walking their way to Sotean's home.

On their way, Sereka didn't look at Sotean. And this time Sotean thinks.

" Maybe she's still angry with me. But I am happy to see that she still cares about saving the world. I wish I can able to apologize to her for what I said to her. Maybe those words hurt her. I think I'm wrong to think that she loves me and maybe I hear it wrong. I just have to forget about that."

Sereka looking at downward and She didn't look at Sotean at all.

When they arrive, they went to Sotean's room.

And then Sereka places her hands over the Key to Everything and looks at Sotean.

"Hurry up."

She seriously said to him.

"Uh...Yeah."

Sotean said with a little disappointment in his voice then he placed his hand over Sereka's hand.

Then they arrived at the Place of Infinite Possibilities.

"Welcome Back, Time Travellers."

Orthonoxmus greet.

"What task is for today, Orthonoxmus ?"

Sereka thoughtfully asked Orthonoxmus.

"Well, today you two have to complete your training."

Orthonoxmus said.

"Alright then."

Sereka said in a cold voice then walks towards the training room.

She opens the door and then enters the room.

Sotean hopelessly looks at Sereka while she is going inside.

His expression is sad.

"What's the matter Sotean?"

Orthonoxmus asked.

"Did something happens between you two? You look so sad."

Orthonoxmus asked again.

Sotean looks at Orthonoxmus with some tears in his eyes.

"I think something happened between you two."

Orthonoxmus said.

"Well..."

Sotean said then he explains what happens between them.

"I see. So, tell me. Do you love her ?"

Orthonoxmus asked in a serious voice.

" I don't know is it love or what. But I just don't want to get away from her. When I'm with her it looks like I can able to do everything. But without her nothing is possible. When I look at her I just wonder what a great sculptor god is to create such a wonderful girl."

Sotean said while smiling.

"And such a wonderful boy also."

Orthonoxmus said.

"Huh ?"

Sotean said surprisingly.

"It is love."

Orthonoxmus said.

Then they walk their way to the training place.

"W-What is this ?"

Sotean asked surprisingly.

He sees that Sereka is fighting with multiple shadows this time.

"Oh! I forgot to tell. This time you two have to fight multiple shadows of your true selves."

Orthonoxmus said.

"Seriously ?"

Sotean said surprisingly.

Then he looked at shadows and stand in the fighting position to face them.
