Savy's Pov

Mrs. Weast sat on the sofa next to me and put a box in the center table.

“Arzen, don't act under your age. You acted as if you're still 10. Go now, your exam is about to start.”

I'm wondering how come I didn't see Arzen in Arch's funeral and burial day. I shove that thought and smiled hearing Aunt Aeryn's words, but automatically bit my lower lip when I saw Arzen look at me.

“So you smile.” he then smile and get the keys in the center table and wear his shoes.

“Mom, you embarrassed me in front of Saveen.”

Saveen?! What kind of name is that?

I made a face then rolled my eyes.

“You didn't like Saveen, so... how about Vior? Avi? Avior? Which one do you like?”

“No one.”

“Okay I'll call you Freezer, because you froze my heart.” then he laughed.

Tssk... What's funny? He is really acting as if he was still a 10 year old lovesick boy.

“Don't mind him Sav, it's normal for him to act like that.” Aunt Aeryn look at Arzen seriously making Arzen to run outside.

“Bye mom, wish me luck on my exams” he shouted from the outside and then followed by a roaring engine of— I think a Ducati, Arch bring his Ducati in school and I often hear the sound of it when he started the engine.

“Sav, this is all for you. Arch spend his own money to buy this, but I'm curious of what are his reasons why he didn't give this to you on your birthday.”

She push the box in front of me.

“I spent almost 3 hours searching his room to find it and just found it under his bed. He didn't told me about this but I often caught him stayed up late at night and do something on this box so I become curious. One day he left the house and maybe forget to hide this box because when I entered on his room this box is on top of his bed, so I get a chance to look at it clearly. I didn't open that box but I saw your name written on it, so I assume he will give this to you. My son likes you too much causing him to do those things just for you. I noticed too that ever since you two become friends, he is often lively and happy I never thought that my son will like a girl too much causing him to act like that. But I'm happy, really happy because I thought he can win on his disease because that time he looks healthy... Then suddenly he became gloomy and sad, I don't know why but I doubt it's something to do with you. Since that time he often locked himself in his room, Arzen and my husband became worried about what he acted. Arzen even apply his childish and silly attitude on him just to lighten up his mood because he seems like he carried the world in every steps he made every time he walks around in this house. The lively Arch just vanished leaving me, my husband and Arzen clueless about what really happened on him causing him to shift his mood suddenly.”

“Hey, don't cry I'm not blaming you.” Aunt Aeryn said.

I look up at her and saw her blurry face, I'm crying again and didn't even notice it.

“Sorry... But I think it's really my fault.”

I covered my face with my both hands.

“Don't blame yourself Sav, it's no one's fault. There's no one to blame, what happened is destined.”

I shooked my head repeatedly and say...

“That time he told me that he likes me, I said hurtful words to him maybe that causes him to act that way.”
