I run to the hut to find him but he was nowhere to be seen. I must try harder next time.

I head back to the room and lie on my bed with an empty stomach. I lost my appetite tonight. Pratz is lying on her bed too but didn't speak to me about anything today and I have no mood to ask her the matter. I try to get sleep.

My phone rings.

"Rewa

"Rewa. It's Ammara. I found out what it says. Come to my chamber tomorrow. I will tell you about it there."

"I will be there tomorrow as early as possible. Thank you so much, ma'am. I am truly grateful to you." After all, I got some favorable news today.

I turn to Prajakta to see how she is. Her body is shaking even more.

"Pratz, are you okay?"

"Mmm." The only answer she gives.

"Pratz, let me know how can I help you?" I asked.

"Mmm." And that's it.

"Pratz, do you know what happened today? We went to Mr.Arijaado's room and found out the thing we were searching for. Miss Ammara is helping me to uncover those messages I have received from unknown people."

"Good." Said she.

Not only do I feel uneasy conversing this way with her, but it is also making the conversation more awkward. What else can I do so she will talk to me? Only one route to finding out.

I get up from my bed and walk to hers. She is lying in the bed covering her face with the red velvet blanket she brought from home. I can see her quivering under the blanket and hope I can make her look fine again.

"Pratz..." I made my voice more soothing and tranquil.

I put my left arm upon her folded hands and gently caress it. It looks like that gesture is making her comfortable. Now is the time to remove the blanket from her head. Using my right hand, I pull the blanket slowly from her face.

She is moaning. Something bad might have happened. Pratz is always strong. She doesn't care about who backbites or gossips about her nor does she care about how her opponents treat her. Then What might have made her heartbroken?

Before I could ask her anything about it, I take a glass of water from my table and pour to hers. I wipe the tears from her cheek but she holds my hand to stop them.

"What happened to you? I know you are not weak to stay grumpy for unknown reasons."

"Rewa..."

"Mm..tell me. I am listening."

"Where were you when they were declaring our group? You know what power we have?"

"No. Is it something bad?"

"Rewa, we are Phoenix fighters! We have the power of fire and flight."

"That's amazing!!! We are one of the most prestigious warriors of Landwol. Were you crying in happiness? Idiot, you made me scared to hell. "
