"... and that's all. I don't know what happens next but all I can say is that I'm working for her." Haiqal frowns, as he regretted joining forces with FAZ. The room falls into a deep silence.
Putri suddenly, "I still don't trust you but if you are an ally to us, prove it." Evalya widens her eyes and faces Putri in shock. Haiqal sighs. "Does our appearance makes him trustworthy enough?" A figure walks out from the wall, with 2 following shadows.
It's the young detectives. "YOU'RE STILL ALIVE? BUT HOW? DIDN'T HE KILL YOU?" Putri shouts in shock. Wow. Amazing. "He's surprisingly offered us help before FAZ's arrival. We just pretend unconscious back there." Ain winks at Putri.
Haiqal chuckles. "Well, do you now?" Haiqal stares at both females. "I do. For now." Putri scoffs and stands up from her seat, walking toward the detectives. "And here I thought you were just playing with my heart. After a bunch of events, I still doubt you have feelings for me. So may I ask, do you love me? Please be honest." Evalya asks Haiqal, staring deep into his eye.
Haiqal places his hands on his chest. "I do truly. For I am, deeply in love with you after our first eye contact. Worry not, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe from any harm. I hope you forgive me for everything I have done to scar you." said Haiqal. For the billion times, Evalya felt butterflies in her stomach.
As the two lovebirds chatter, the sun has made its appearance. What a day, huh?
"What a day we've gone through. I'm glad no one is hurt badly." Elyza speaks, watching the sun rises. She leans on Abyana's shoulder, making her fidget.
"We shouldn't part ways yet. We still have to find FAZ and stop her. I don't want people to think that Zafirah is a bad person." Evalya shakes her head. "I thought your school already knew about Zafirah's disappearance?" Ain asks.
"They do. They just didn't know whether Zafirah is still alive or not." Haiqal answers. "Then let's keep our objectives on that. We'll live our life normally while searching for clues. We need to keep this a top secret. Just tell them Zafirah remains missing." Abyana orders everyone, to which they agree.
------------
The bell rings. It's lunchtime and you can see a lot of students running around to get food. However, familiar faces were whispering to each other at a table.
"No signs of FAZ. I'm so tired." Evalya slams her head on the table. "It has been weeks! WHERE COULD SHE BE!?" Putri slams the table with her slender fingers.
"Keep your voice down but yeah, no clue either." Abyana does the same as Evalya. Evalya however starts signalling at Haiqal.
'Any clues?'
'No.'
Evalya fake sobs and lays her head on the table softly. "I do have, unfortunately..." Elyza raises her hand quietly. That gathers the table's attention. "Where? Tell now. I'm desperate!" "Relax." Elyza takes a deep breath. She takes out a small and spread it on the table.
"She might be here, I recognise the place FAZ and Zafirah went. It's an abandoned farm. No one hardly visits there anymore. I doubt it a little but at least it's something." Elyza points at the location. Abyana and Ain seem a bit disappointed meanwhile Evalya and Putri quietly celebrate.
"I doubt it. This farm is a scientist's experiment farm. Besides, she can barely survive there for weeks." Ain rejects Elyza's clue.
"Come on, this might be it! Who knows?" Evalya argues. "This is a huge risk. I don't want to lose your shitty lives as you're now my client. Fucking listen or die." Ain aggressively argues back. "Relax, Ain. You're getting a bit comfortable talking with your thorny tongue." Abyana cools down Ain.
"Please, Ain. FAZ is the bigger problem, not me. We have to find her before the chaos begins." Putri begs for Ain's permission. Ain refuses to talk. "FINE. If she's not there, I'm not saving your lives anymore." Ain glares at Putri and Evalya.
"Thank you! Tonight at 8 p.m. I'll invite Haiqal." Evalya thanks Ain, which makes Ain leaves the table. "Don't worry about Ain, she's like that sometimes. Acts by her own will and hides her true feelings all the time. She'll get comfy someday." Abyana chuckles it off, before leaving the table with Elyza.
"I hope we can stop this. I'm tired of this already." Evalya leans on Putri's shoulder. "It'll be a matter of time. I'll just hope Zafirah is doing great right now." Putri looks down. Evalya raises her head, cupping Putri's cheeks.
"She is and she'll be very proud of us. Let's hope for the best, okay? Come on, let's go before we're late for class." Evalya held out her hands, inviting Putri to hold them. "Yeah, let's go." Putri grabs it.
What a cute friendship and here I am hoping for a plot twist. I'm tired of narrowing the whole story but it can't be helped.
