It was summer when they both sat under a vast grass in their own illusion garden Aniya and Tina made for each other. The beautiful blue sky and the bright sun shining above them make Tina's heart calm. But she couldn't help but feel her chest tightening hugging herself as she shed her tears — crying.
"Hey Rina," Tina spoke breaking the silence between them. Aniya's real name was Rina. But because of the Imperial Family, her name was changed and it made her feel saddened to change name. Because there was a hidden reason why she doesn't like her name to be changed.
But what does it matter anyway when her mother would never listen to her plea? Aniya has no other choice but to obey her mother's orders.
"Yes?" Aniya turn to look at Tina and saw her smiling at her.
"Are you going to leave me?" Aniya froze — she stares at her without moving an inch in her spot. She couldn't speak her mind to Tina. To tell the truth, Aniya doesn't want to leave Tina alone. For her, Tina is her light. She gave her courage and freedom that she couldn't attain in the past.
She remembers that day when Tina defended her from her cruel Mother. She was trembling in fear but Tina's eyes were very fearless that they left quite an impression on her mother.
Aniya never wanted to betray her. Maybe at first when she hasn't met Tina yet. Maybe at first when she still blames someone because of her misfortune. But she realized how childish she was to think that way when Tina is now helping her guide the path she was scared to walk on.
But no matter what Aniya truly desire it will never happen. Because her mother is in her control. Her happiness is what her mother wants.
Tina chuckles and sighs, "You don't have to answer me right now, Rina." She said with her bright and cheery smile.
"Here! Let's just do this." Tina grabs Rina's hands and both made their pinky finger intertwined, "Here! Let's do a pinky promise. If you're going to break our promise, I'll break your finger." She said still smiling. Aniya couldn't help but laugh with tears falling from her eyes.
'You're torturing me, Tina...' She thought to herself.
"Eh? Why are you laughing? It's scary when you break your finger though!" She said with her grumpy face and Aniya stopped laughing and pats her head.
"Fine fine, if I break my promise, you better break my pinky finger." Aniya comforts Tina and she giggles.
"Don't leave me alone in this dark world, Rina." She whispered with her sad eyes looking at Rina. This world may look luxurious and glorious but for Tina, this world is a living hell for her. Because of her family constantly abandoning her and the other people trying to use her.
There is no one that Tina could ever trust, only Hiro. But Aniya killed him. And Sylvia was killed by her mother.
Aniya couldn't help but hug Tina tightly still shedding tears on her face.
