Chapter 2

Yliah stood up early and took a bath. She couldn't have a nice sleep because of what happened last night. It's Monday today and the opening of classes in University of Saint Ines will start. She was now wearing her dark blue school uniform that has white long sleeve below, dark blue necktie, and her dark blue knife pleated skirt. You will do many ups and downs wearing this uniform so if you don't know how to, just don't bother wearing it.

Yliah Miyamizu lives in Poblacion of Santa/Saint Ines. 18 years old and studying at University of Santa Ines. She's now graduating in Senior High, Grade 12, precisely. She chose the strand, Science Technology Engineering Mathematics o STEM. She wants to be an Aeronautical Engineer soon, her greatest dream. She really loves aircrafts and anything that floats in the air. She wants to experience flying. Flying without wings. She wants to see how big the world is from above.

She's in the middle of watching the sky from above when their school bell rang. She stood up from the bench she was sitting earlier and walks toward the building of the STEM Department.

"You are quite punctual today, sweetheart. You're waiting for me, right?" she turned around on who was talking to her and saw Khrysler. Her eyes widened.

'He's also studying here?' she asked herself.

"Nah, just watching the sky." other students was looking at her— or clearly whispering at them. Yliah just shrugged her shoulders and ignored them. She knows that she lives in a world that full of judgemental person. If ever she could create a world without negative thoughts..

"You really love sky." Khrysler said and huffed.

"More than anything." she whispered.

"I heard that!" Yliah softly chuckled on his response.

"By the way, what strand did you get?" she asked. From looks, she knows they're just at the same age.

"Guess it, Miyamizu!" Khrysler aforesaid and walked first. He even heard his soft chuckled while waving at her.

'He calls me Miyamizu..' she thought. It's not that she likes to hear the word sweetheart. It's just that it's too unusual to hear him say her last name. She feels like she experienced a lil' bit pain when she heard her last name from him.

"Incorrect Amores! Any valuable answer? Miyamizu?" their Professor blunted.

Yliah Miyamizu was stiffened at her seat because she was not listening to any of the lessons that their Professor mentioned. Her body is in the classroom but she thinks her mind is in another universe! Oh aliens~ if you're the one who found it then, please give it back to Yliah quickly.

"P-professor Rel." she's beating fastly. This is the first time she didn't listen to his subject. She's busy spacing out about what Yaya Sonya says last night.

She just met Khrysler in a minute earlier and she forgot to ask him. The next time they will meet, she will really asked him about the thing she wanted to know.

"What was one of the Australian Stamp Bulletin's words to commemorate the first aeroplane?"

Yliah let out a big— deep sigh. She was grateful that the question Professor Rel asked is just a piece of cake.

"'A special airmail flight will be made on 6 August 1989 to commemorate the first aeroplane crossing of a major body of water in Australia by Captain Harry Butler.'" she answered and received a round of applause.

After the class, she go out and started to visit the other department of the university to search for Khrysler but before she could start searching, her phone suddenly rang.

Damuho calling...

She pressed the answer button and she was about to say a thing when the other line suddenly shouted.

[What the fvck bitch!? Why didn't you wake me up?! Look, I'm absent today!]

"Idc!" she ended the call but another call came again.

"What is it that you want, Damuho!? I'm in the middle of searching someone!" she scoffed.

[I'm here in the cafeteria now. I forgot to bring my card. Treat me.]

Yliah suddenly froze after seeing Khrysler sitting in the chair. It looks like he was drawing something because he's holding a pencil with a sketch pad. She's so busy searching for him in the whole building of the university but then, she only saw Khrysler sitting in the Library while drawing something.

[Bitch? Are you still there? Dada? Yliah? Shit!]

Harrison nervously ended the call and quickly went to her sister's department but there's no person inside. He ran towards the other building immediately.

"You're here?" Khrysler raised his head and saw Yliah. His smiles are plastered in his face again.

"Hm." she answered bluntly. Her heart was beating loudly and fastly that she just wanted to answer him plainly.

"W-what did you draw?" Yliah feels nervous but she still chose to ask the curiousity of what he was drawing and why he was smiling while doing it.

"I'm drawing the apple of my eye." Khrysler showed again his gummy smiles and raised the sketch pad he used to draw.

Yliah almost lost her balance.

The girl he draw...

Is no other than herself.

"Dada!" someone suddenly shouted on her old nickname. Harrison quickly ran towards Yliah and hugged her. Finally, he found her.

"Harrison?" Yliah arched her eyebrows. Harrison faced his elder sister.

"Listen, bitch. I'll only say it once." Harrison felt uneasiness to say this. He squeezed Yliah's cheek. He looks like he's going to make her look like a damn bulldog =,=

"What the fvck are you doing Harrison? You are squeezing my cheeks. Do you want me to look like a bulldog?" Yliah exclaimed in irritation.

"Stop delusioning Dada! Wake up!" Harrison shouted that caught other students' attentions. Yliah shifted her mood. Her thick eyebrows met. She pushed Harrison hardly that made Harrison let go of holding her cheeks.

"What are you saying?! You are the one who showed up out of nowhere! You hugged me, squeezed my cheeks, and shouted.. Are you stupid? Delusional? You are crazy!"

Harrison also stared at her back with a death glare.

"Look." Harrison pointed the chair where Yliah looked at earlier. That's when Yliah realize that Khrysler was still there. Her gaze landed on the chair where Khrysler was sitting but he's nowhere to be found. Even a shadow of Khrysler can't be seen there.

"You scared him." she glared back again to Harrison.

"God Yliah Miyamizu! Are you that dumb!?" she closed her eyes firmly of what her younger brother said. Why does he need to mind her own business? If they get well with each other when they're still in their childhood, well not now. In fact, this is not the first time they have had an excessive fight. Whether a gun or knife, they have already tried pointing that two dangerous things at each other and threaten their lives. But this time is different because they are fighting at the school. In the University of Saint Ines, the first time they created a riot inside the University.

Yliah quickly punched her brother's face that caused him to fall down. She was about to hit another blow but Harrison suddenly became alarmed and twisted Yliah's leg using his hands causing her to fall. They are both lying on the floor now like a sea lion glaring at each other.

The people in the library still seems to be enjoying the sibling's show. Screams are predominantly heard in the whole library. There are other students who are betting on who will lose and win between the siblings. The library looked like a cockpit as if they were watching a cockfight of a two brave chickens in the world.

While, other librarians who are afraid to get involved are bewildered. They want to call Miss Mean, the rudest Librarian among them but they know more than anyone else that she doesn't want to hear complaints about such incidents. Librarians except Miss Mean are really cowards and are afraid to stop students from fighting. Is Miss Mean the only one they can trust with in this kind of war?

"Fvck Harrison!" Yliah cursed as Harrison pulled a little strand of her hair.

"Fvck you more Yliah!" Harrison placed Yliah on top of him and wrapped his arms around her neck.

"You can't breath now, bitch! Loser!" Harrison complacently exclaimed. He's too confidence that he would received victory but— he failed.

"Not yet!" Yliah shouted. He thought Harrison had actually caught her but she suddenly thought of one thing. He smirked before violently kicked his brother's testicles.

Harrison released the grip on her sister's neck and writhed the pain of his poor dragon balls.

"Ms. and Mr. Miyamizu!" the students who were betting earlier distanced theirselves and quickly hid the money behind them when Miss Mean, the rudest Librarian arrived.

"What's with this mess? To the office!"

Yliah rolled her eyes 160 degree at Harrison who was struggling to get up and followed them while still holding at its pity future.

_ _ _

[What's with the reports!? The two siblings of Miyamizu created a war at the University of Saint Ines!]

The siblings both closed their eyes to their mother's scold. Yliah just found out that their Mom and Dad is in Spain so they just doing a video call. But even so, they can still feel the madness of her voice.

"We're truly sorry." they both lower their heads.

[You always give me trouble. I will say, you are no longer a child! You are big now, Harrison at Yliah. I didn't give you birth to kill each other! Then you, Yliah, can you please stay silent for awhile?]

Yliah's forehead furrowed. She always give her trouble? Is it possible that his Mommy knew about the time when she got drunk?

Even confused, Yliah just nodded. She didn't want to fight her Mom. She knew in the end, she will still be the winner. Mother knows best, that is.

"Mom, Dada is not at fault." Harrison said.

[Not at fault? She should be! She's so stubborn that she didn't listened to us back before. Now, it happened. She should be responsi-]

"Missus Luziana. What I remember is that since we were young, you two left and started doing a business abroad. If business is more important than us, why care at us anyway? We survive and grow up without your care. You'll just only show up when you're about to preach us for something."

Yliah didn't feel surprised on what Harrison's said. Their parents are always like that. Even if their family is still complete, yet they didn't experience how happy it is to have a family.

[Harrison!]

Luziana exclaimed. She was obviously angry and couldn't believe that her youngest son said those things.

"I've heard enough, excuse me." Yliah stood up and walked out. She gone back to the University of Saint Ines and quickly went to the parking lot.

"Oh? Kid!" Mang Anton joyfully greeted Yliah when they meet path.

"Mang Anton..." she responded and suddenly raised an eyebrow when she saw what he was doing. She was cleaning a car. Yliah knows he was a security guard in the University, but why the hell did he caught her cleaning a car?

"You came here yesterday didn't you? You said you would take your purse but I caught you staring at this car."

Yliah was confused. Mang Anton caught her staring this car last night? That's absurd. The only thing she remembered is she went to the STEM Department, went back here in the parking lot and...

"Um, Mang Anton.. Did you saw a guy here last night? H-he is way taller than me, h-have a sharp nose.. a-a-and .. have a long eyelashes." Yliah looked away after asking. She was obviously looking for some random guy.

"What guy are you talking, kid? Did anyone get here last night? As far as I remember, you're the only student who went here last night. There were no other students left."

Yliah looked back with a frowned face. What the? She clearly saw Khrysler that night. She clearly heard his husky voice. She clearly felt the hotness of its lips when it touches hers.

So what does the guard means that there's no one at school last night except herself?

"There's really a guy here last night, Mang Anton.." she murmured.

"If there really is a man, do you know who is it? So that I can list his name on my notes. He enters the university without my permission. What is he doing here, by the way?"

Yliah's mouth suddenly shut. She couldn't tell that it's Khrysler and maybe she could even mention the reason why the young man was there last night.

'Sweetheart, where did you go? Khrysler misses you.'

The word he left last night was imprinted on her brain. She slightly laughed at the guard.

"It's nothing, Mang Anton. HAHA that was just a joke. Besides, I'm drunk last night and just seeing things." the guard seems convinced and already laughed with her.

"You're really a joker, kid."

Yliah gripped her black purse tightly. She already brought it with her because it might suddenly go to Yaya Sonya's house again.

"By the way Manong, why are you cleaning that car? Is the owner around? Why didn't he clean that up?" Yliah asked. The guard shook his head and turned sadly.

"The owner passed away the other day. As far as I know, only his girlfriend survived. I also forgot the name of that young man. He's kind, he always gives me bread every time he enters the school. It's a pity that he died so young."

Yliah's heart ached at what she heard. What happened to its owner is really an unfortunate one..

But why was the car left behind? What's the reason why the owner's the one who died while the girlfriend survived?

Even though Yliah wanted to ask again, she just kept her mouth shut. If he asked more, he might be mistaken for being a nosy gossiper.

Yliah approached the car and touched it. The car seemed familiar to her. She also seemed to feel a little bit deja vu that she couldn't explain. She was about to turn around to look the other side of the car but she was tensed when she saw a name engraved on the car's door.

Frankly, it can't be seen from afar.. but when you're just near, the small letter engraved on it can be clearly seen.

'Yliah Miyamizu..'  she murmured her own name that has been engraved on the car.
