Chapter 64

"Well, one thing I could say about Charles that he was..determined. And he was quite nice. I remember when I first met him, he was the nicest person, and the most hard-working that can work for you.."

I saw Hanin sitting in the last seat, smirking evilly at me, which made me more nervous.
"He was so smart. He understood things straight away, and he was a quick-learner. That's not the only thing about him. He was quite elegant, and can deal with people easily, and nicely.."
I said, trying my best not to cry.

I actually meant that. Mars was everything I said he is.

Halfway through my speech, I saw Hanin's smirk getting wider before she got up from her seat.
That's why she sat in the back. So no one can see her.

I tried to keep my voice calm, also trying not to think of her, as I kept talking about Mars in front of the crowd.
But I wondered what was making her so satisfied.

Later, I got my answer.
Here's how.

I continued my speech, looking from the crowd to the floor, and sometimes both. I couldn't see Hanin anymore. And I wasn't thinking straight.

That's when it happened.
The pole that had a few decorations on it starting falling down.
I looked down where the pole was the supposed to be falling into.
Hayden.
"Hayden, look out !"

I yelled, but it came out softer than I thought. And I froze as I heard the pole hit the floor loudly.
Everyone started turning around, asking questions in process, but shock has gotten the best of me, and I stood there like an idiot. Barron looked at me, his eyes widening.

I glanced back at him, then back at where Hayden was supposed to be.
The pole had already fallen.

But then I saw Hayden backing far away from the pole, being held back by my brother.
Rajwan saves the day.

How grateful I was.

I coughed in attempt to catch the crowd's attention, which, surprisingly worked.
People looked back at me, and Mars' mother, whatever her name was, eyed me in concern.
What was happening ? She seemed to be asking.

I wanted to go to Hayden and ask him if he was okay, but he nodded at me in order to continue, which I did anyway.

I was still quite nervous, my heart was beating fast from the shock of the pole.
It didn't take a while for everything to change.

A few moments later, everyone was back to Funeral Mode, their faces turning solemn and serious again, making me mentally sigh in relief.

I continued to talk, pausing between words to catch my breath.
I thought I heard something clicking.
I didn't pay attention to it, because I was too focused, and trying not to forget what I wanted to say.

I saw Barron's lips forming an 'O', his expression turning into shock, then into fear.
"Adelle, look out..!"
He managed to say, but it came out as a whisper. His voice choked and full of fear.
I guess we all do that in a bizarre situation.

I didn't know why, but I froze.
Then I felt myself hit the floor with a thud.

To Be Continued..
