Life in War

Part 6 - Surprise and a Betrayal

The orphanage is nice, the people there are so friendly.

The orphans at the orphanage can go to school because the king allowed the orphans to go to school without paying. Only for children at the orphanage.

My first day of school

I entered the school as a grade 3 student. As my age turned into 9 years old. And 12 years old Apollo as 6 grade student.

I found my best friend. Her name is Videl Fleurette. She still has her parents, so she's not staying at the orphanage. As a best friend we walk everywhere together, eat together, and everything that best friends do.

The difference is that Videl is a scraredy girl. She scare almost a lot of things. Especially animals. When i come to her house bringing my horse... She cried. She's also a cry baby. Her personality is definitely different from me.

Friesian is a big horse. And its fur is jet black. Maybe no wonder she scared. But, though don't have to cry.

Im not afraid of almost everything. I am not that easily to cry, except that moment that i have to leave my parents. And im brave, don't easily deterrent, and kinda rough.

She is scared of almost everything, really easy to cry, easy to deter, and don't want to try new things not like me.

I'm always liked extreme and unique things.

Though our personalities is very different, we become best friends. Because of our personalities, we often argue. And fight to. But one of us usually ask for apology. And we always forgive each other.

That moment, i was walking with Apollo at the beach near the orphanage.

"Hey, Artemis, remember when dad is taking day off? And we go to beach together?"

"Of course. How can i forget that precious moment?"

"I miss them..."

"Me too... "

An unbelievable surprise come to me and my brother... That...

My mom and my dad SURVIVED

They walk to us... As they look at us with a touched expression.
"Look what i say... We found you..." said Aiden as he run to us and Cannenta is behind him.

We hug, you know? That moment is the happiest moment of my life.

"Oh, i miss you both so much!!!"
"Mom, dad!"
Apollo and i cried at their hug.

A tears of joy...

The king of Aigratha survived too. Though many soldiers died, good thing the king and the royal family survived.

      
         King Edmund, Queen Lunette, Prince Alexander, and Prince  Phillip. And some soldiers that survived. Many of them has a terrible wound. Camodour king, King Peter provide a house to stay and many healer to take care of the wounded folks.

We're finally out of the orphanage and live in our own home. My dad loss his left arm. And he got many wounds. My mom look so tired from healing many peoples including my dad. Though this situation is not good, we still be grateful my famiy survived.

And we start to live as a normal family...

With Videl, we be friends until our middle school. I was 13 y.o that moment. At the middle school i have a few new friends. And Videl assumed that i'm betrayed her.

"This is doesn't make any sense. Im just having fun with my new friends. Is that wrong?"
I asked her after she said im betraying her.

"No, but you ignoring me!!! Having fun with your new friends. I dont have any friends yet!! And you don't care about me anymore!!! "

"Fine!! So you're jealous because i already have friends, and you don't?"

She leave after i say that. We have fight before. But this is maybe so different than the other fights.

She's starting to has friends and she influenced their friends not to be friend with me. Fortunately, not many friends affected. Because she do that, im mocked her and make her hurt very bad.

And she don't like me anymore.

One day, i regretted for all i do for her. I know that she easily hurt.

I ask for forgiveness to her. And she dont want to forgive me.
My regretted feeling doesn't want to disappear.

And i don't know that fight would change everything. My heart that good and peaceful...

Turns into a internal WAR at my heart...

If many people hurt their heart by their boyfriend or a girlfriend, the hurt feeling that given by best friend...

Is worst than anything
