KALINA (Book 3: The Elixir Series)

28.

At Stark Mansion

The siblings except CC are talking about the news they heard regarding their brother.

"So, she left?" Boi asked.

"Yep," Zy replied.

"If she's gonna leave in the end, why didn't she do it in the very beginning? She only separates Kith and Besh," Boi said in annoyance.

Yes, Zerah didn't accept the marriage and left the very next day.

"I understand her though," Jer said making them look at him like he was mad.

Their youngest sighed, "She loved Kith. She still does, and that's why she finally managed to let go. Though, it's kinda late,"

"Yeah, I get you. If I were her, I would do the same. I mean, why would I marry someone who's constantly avoiding the topic and then suddenly decide to get hitched? Even if I love that person I will not agree," Zy said.

"Why does Kith suddenly ask her to marry him?" Leng asked.

"Because he finally accepted that he can't get Kali back," CC arrived.

"Oh, hi, sis," Boi greeted.

"He should've chosen his happiness in the first place which is Kali. Sometimes it makes me wonder if he truly loved her," Boi said.

"He does. But of course, he made a wrong judgment," Zy said.

"Now it's too late," Jer said.

Silence engulfed them for a moment.

"Wait, what if he talks with Kali?" Boi suggested.

"And what? Ask her to get back to him?" CC asked.

"Yea-

"Impossible," CC said.

"Why not? Is she really in love with that Khalil?" Zy asked.

"Look, we know what kind of a person Kali is. She will not get into a relationship if don't have feelings for him," CC stated.

"Tsk, then, KithKali will never be possible again," Boi said.

"Yeah. Also, I heard the Nightwish is flying tonight," CC informed them.

"Where to?" Jer asked.

CC sighed, "In one of their private islands," she replied.

"Why?" Zy asked.

"Well, Zed told me that tomorrow a new beginning will start," she relayed.

They think for a while.

"She's getting married?!" Boi asked standing when he realized.

CC smiled thinly, "Yep. It will be a surprise wedding,"

"Maybe that's why Miya insisted on going out. Said it was a mission that needed her," Boi said.

"Hmp! Isn't that cowardice? He's going to catch her off guard," Boi added.

"I don't think so. Besides, if Kali doesn't want to, no one can force her," CC said.

"Ugh! This is all Zerah's fault!" Boi exclaimed.

"We can't blame her alone," someone said.

"Jharu?"

"Hi, bro," they greeted him.

"Jharu's right, admit it or not, it was partly Kith's fault," Zy said.

"It's solely mine," Kith's voice startled them.
