Meet And Fall in Love
133 - Interrogation [1]

After Aqila and Ian both provided first aid to treat Raisa, they all returned to Leaf Village.

Arriving at Daun Village, Raisa was immediately rushed to the hospital.

The next day...

Since returning yesterday, Raisa has not been aware even though it has been handled directly by Bibi Sierra, the Head of the Hospital there. Although Aunt Sierra said Raisa would be fine, Rumi continued to accompany her. Rumi continued to hold Raisa's hand, hoping that Raisa would quickly come to her senses.

"Ngghh~ R-rumi, are you here?" Conscious Raisa

Raisa was still trying to recover her gaze by reapplying both eyes a few times...

"Raisa, are you conscious?! Thank goodness..." Relieved Rumi

"Something seems to have forgotten to eat again." Raisa said with a faint smile.

"Thinking about you since yesterday... How can I eat in peace? Do you realize where you are now?" Rumi

Raisa nodded weakly, without answering.

"Please, help me sit down." Pinta Raisa who is trying to get up from her sleeping position.

Rumi helps Raisa to sit on the hospital bed...

"You're aware that you're in the hospital! Do you also realize, what you did yesterday?" Ask Rumi

"I had to do it to overcome the mastermind of yesterday's abduction without having to involve you and the others. I'm fine, it's been proven now. But, if I don't do as I did yesterday, you could be the one in danger! I don't want to run such a risk, just to think about it I don't want to!" Answer Raisa

"Why not? I didn't understand how you thought and your purpose until now. If need be let me sacrifice, I was created for it!" Rumi

"I won't let you be like that! You are human just like everyone else! Stop having the attitude to continue and have to sacrifice, you also deserve to have a life like everyone else. This time let me sacrifice for you, but this is also nothing, I am fine. I said it yesterday... Didn't you hear my last words yesterday?" Raisas

"How can you be okay? You just came to your senses after yesterday's incident..." Rumi's

"Listen to me, Rumi... From now on you must be careful! Don't let anything happen to you. From what I know, those who kidnapped me yesterday are actually after you. They deliberately kidnapped me for setting up a plot to arrest you, exchange my position for yours. Sorry, if I talk like this. But, it seems like there is a traitor in Daun Village. They threatened me not to run away knowing our closeness..." Raisa's

"Then, you should have let me switch places with you yesterday!" Rumi

Raisa's pissed off!

"Ck! You don't understand either!?! When I tried to break free yesterday, they threatened me with your safety. They know our relationship and closeness. That means there are spies or traitors in the village. They said they would change our position... I'll be released if I can get you and give it to them, but it won't be that easy! I heard it myself while pretending to be under the influence of magic yesterday! They won't let me go when you're arrested, which means if I didn't act yesterday we'd be in danger, maybe the friends who came yesterday weren't just left free either. Do you understand or not? Please, don't make my silly sacrifice yesterday go to waste. Please, don't let anything bad happen to you. You should be fine, Rumi!" Raisa said while dripping water at the end of her eyes.

Rumi reached out her hand to wipe away Raisa~'s tears

"What you did yesterday is not ridiculous, there is no sacrifice in vain. Now I understand! No, no more crying... Forgive me for not understanding your worries and thank you for surviving and saving me." Rumi

"I'm also sorry for worrying you yesterday, but it's also my responsibility to protect you. Like you're worried about me, I'm also worried about dying to you. I knew their plan first. Thinking you'd be in danger like you were facing death for me, it was so painful! Of course, I can't just shut up! If something happens to endanger you, I feel like I have no hope anymore. My hope is to see you alive and happy. Do you have to wait for me to cry first while explaining it, you can only understand and believe?!" Clearly Raisa while holding back her sense of regret.

"Well, I understand. So, don't talk about this again..." Said Rumi while persuading Raisa who was upset.

"You don't love me, do you? The heart of arguing with a sick person who has not eaten and just wants to stop and give up now after I cry sobbing? I doubt your love... Realizing it pissed me off!" Raisas

"I'm sorry, I forgot you haven't eaten. I'm incompetent, but I really love you. Don't be angry again, dear Raisa... I'll go get you some food first." Rumi

Rumi was about to get up and leave, but Raisa held her back.

"What's wrong? Would you like to order something special to eat?" Ask Rumi

Raisa smile...

"Anything warm and soft. Do not buy with large portions, I just realized it must still be difficult to digest food. But, buy two for you to eat as well. Come on, let's eat together. You must not have eaten because you kept me here." Answer Raisa

"You're sick, but you're still watching and reminding me to eat. You're so nice, Raisa. You're even willing to get hurt for me. I am not wrong... I love you so much, my love!" Inner Rumi

Rumi smiled back at Raisa.

"Okay, I get it! Wait for me, my dear! It won't be long..." Rumi

Rumi steals a quick kiss on Raisa's cheek before stepping out of the room quickly.

"Basic! I'm sick and I'm still looking for a chance at narrowness!" Sebal Raisa

Seeing Rumi who went outside from Raisa's nursery in a hurry, made Aunt Sierra able to guess about Raisa's condition. Aunt Sierra rushed in to check on Raisa again...

"As I thought, do you realize? Time for a checkup, Raisa! How's condition? What do you feel right now?" Greetings Aunt Sierra

"It's nice to meet you, Auntie." Sapa Raisa's

"It's good to see you too, Raisa. But, do not let our meeting because of your condition like this continue to dong..." Said Aunt Sierra

"I'm fine, Bi. Besides feeling weak and a little nauseous, I felt healthy. Thank you for taking care of me and sorry for this unpleasant encounter." Raisa's

"This must be because you haven't eaten and pricked yesterday. Although it has been cured completely, indeed in certain conditions can still feel nausea like you." Say Aunt Sierra

"From yesterday, I haven't eaten at all." Said Raisa

"So that's why, Rumi was rushed outside earlier? To bring you food? Actually, what were you trying to do with your thoughts yesterday anyway, Raisa?" Ask Aunt Sierra

"Auntie, sorry. You and the other higher-ups will definitely ask me about that, right? Can you discuss the interrogation later? Because to be honest, I still don't have much energy to say." Raisas

"Alright, I'll call them to hasten the interrogation. Sure, it'll be done after you finish eating later. I'll also tell your friends that you're conscious. You're okay now, too. Then, excuse me. Rest well." Say Aunt Sierra

"Thank you for the check-up visit, Auntie." Said Raisa

"Together." Reply Bibi Sierra

After checking on Raisa's condition, Bibi Sierra left the ward.

Without having to wait for a long time, Rumi returned with something in her hand.

"I'm coming, Raisa. You weren't bored waiting for me here, were you?" Rumi

"No, you didn't go too long. There was also Aunt Sierra who came to visit for a checkup." Said Raisa

"What did Aunt Sierra say? Are you really okay?" Ask Rumi

"So, Aunt Sierra also asked and checked on me. I said, other than a little limp and feeling nauseous, I'm fine. Aunt Sierra also said, I'm fine and nothing serious. He said my nausea was probably due to the effects of the stabbing yesterday even though the wound had healed and also because I had not eaten it." Obviously Raisa

"No, I'm talking the truth." Answer Raisa

Rumi also seemed to prepare and put the food he brought into the bowl.

"What did you bring?" Ask Raisa

"Ah, here! Red bean porridge that we once ate at that time. Eating this is good for adding blood. Take it easy, I ask to make something that is not too sweet for you. I've also borrowed bowls and spoons from the hospital kitchens for containers and cutlery." Answer Rumi

"That's great! Wow, that smells great!" Said Raisa

"Do you want me to take a bribe?" Ask Rumi

"No, just let me be alone. You should eat too. I also want to recover my movements that still feel weak." Answer Raisa

"Alright, then be careful. The porridge of hot love." Said Rumi who handed a bowl of red bean porridge to Raisa.

"Holding something hot is also good to help re-launch blood circulation. Thank you, Rumi." Said Raisa who took the bowl Rumi gave.

Raisa and Rumi eat together in the hospital room. Not long after, the other friends came to visit.

"Roise, we're coming!"

"Ah, you... Welcome!" Sapa Raisa while smiling.

"Raisa, thank goodness... You're sober and look fine. I'm so worried, what else when I see you back in an unconscious and injured condition yesterday." Said Amy

"It's okay, Amy. I'm already fine. No need to worry anymore." Said Raisa

"Oh, you're eating, apparently! With Rumi too!" Morgan

"Yes, I told him to eat too. Because surely he hasn't eaten from yesterday for waiting for me and feeling guilty about being stabbed yesterday." Obviously Raisa

"That yesterday's problem... How do you think you have to do all that?" Ask Ian

Raisa just smiled without replying and in return.

"Sorry, you shouldn't be coming now." Said Raisa

"Why, so? Is it so you can be alone with Rumi?" Ask Chilla

"Eh, it's not like that! I'm not done talking! I'm just not good at eating, but I can't serve you anything." Jawqb Raisa's

"It's okay, Raisa. You don't have to think about something like that. Here you are sick, it is precisely we who apologize for not bringing anything when visiting you. This is because we were worried and very curious about what really happened yesterday." Wanda

"Right, you haven't answered my question either! Tell us everything!" Sue Ian

"Ah, that yesterday's problem... It's not that I don't want to tell you all. Look, someone's gonna ask me about what happened yesterday. The higher-ups must be interrogating me for the safety of the village and the country. Can you find out after that? Aqila can ask Aunt Sierra who will be watching my interrogation later, or Devan from his father or Morgan from his father, also or Ian from his father. I still feel weak to talk a lot. When Aunt Sierra asked me about this during the examination, I also asked her to wait to hear directly during the interrogation. I beg you all to understand..." Raisas

"Raisa's condition is like this, you let her go first." Rumi

"alright. I think, that's understandable. Let Raisa rest and focus on restoring her strength." Dennis

"When Mama checked you out, what did she say? Are you really okay? When we brought you here yesterday, Mama said you were infected with a severe toxin. Until I and Ian have trouble treating you." Ask Aqila

"As for the poison, I don't know, neither does Aunt Sierra explain it. Yesterday I did put in a poison that contained the influence of the controlling illusion magic at once. I was able to contain the poison, although I finally fainted after continuing to hold it before I could remove the poison entirely from my body. Aunt Sierra just said I'm fine and just need to wait to recover." Answer Raisa

"Poisons? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Ask Rumi

"As for poison, Ian and I didn't know exactly at first. As we both know, Raisa's condition yesterday was only worse than expected. I also know from my mom. I didn't tell the others for fear of making things worse because yesterday we were all so worried and panicked about Raisa's unconscious condition." Aqila

"Great things like this, why not be told? If, Raisa can't recover from the poison and no one knows... How's it?!" Pissed Rumi

"Already, Rumi... I didn't tell you either because I didn't want you to worry. Anyway, now I'm okay. Aunt Sierra said it herself. You don't want me to experience the opposite as you say, do you?" Raisas

"Of course, no! I said it like that not because I wanted it to really happen to you, but because I was really worried!" Rumi

"Then, stop worrying too much. If you're still not sure, you can ask Aunt Sierra directly about my condition." Said Raisa

"Everyone who hears is disappointed not to know this. But, can't we all be relieved that Raisa's already conscious? And thankfully, Raisa's fine." Sandra

Kriiett~~

The outpatient room door again opened the figure of the higher-ups from behind it. The situation that Raisa said, where she had to testify to yesterday's events had to be done...

"Excuse me... Sorry, interrupting your turnaround time." Said Aunt Sierra

"Mrs Sierra, sorry. Can you interrogate later? Now Raisa's not done eating." Pinta Rumi's

"I'm sorry, I also told you to do it after Raisa finishes eating. But, you know for yourself... These higher-ups were extremely busy and did not have much time to match time with their hectic schedules." Say Aunt Sierra

"Hmm, just do it now. The sooner it is completed, the better. And so, everything quickly became clear. It's okay, I can finish my meal after the interrogation is over." Raisa's

"Then, the others beg to wait outside during this process." Pinta's Uncle Aiden, Ian's father, who came as a representative of the police for the interrogation session this time.

"All right, we all understand."

All went outside and left Raisa, Bibi Sierra as the hospital, Uncle Nathan as the village leader, Uncle Rafka as an advisor, and Uncle Aiden as the Chief of Police, to hold an interrogation.

After everything went outside and became quiet. The interrogation session began. Raisa also tells and explains everything that happened yesterday.

"Raisa, was it true that you were taken away by force yesterday?" Ask Mr. Aiden

"True, it's not me who intends to go away by himself. I've been forced." Answer Raisa

"Is the one who kidnapped you really three?How are their characteristics? How do they force you? Then, how did your friends end up finding you?" Ask Uncle Rafka as an advisor, Devan's father.

"True, three people. I could not see and reveal it clearly because it was so foreign to me and the three of them were black-robed men, that was what I knew and remembered clearly. When I came, I was still thinking positively, maybe they were the residents of Daun Village whom I did not know who came looking for and there was a need with me, so I lost my guard as they attacked me suddenly. They attacked me with something that stung me, whether it was magic or a scientific device with electricity or lightning. They attacked right into my left eye and after that I was unconscious, that's when they forced me to leave. They, the friends who came to my rescue could find me easily because I had already given them my magic core emblem that could channel and tell them the whereabouts of people in danger. They realized the danger sign that appeared, the lackluster manner of searching and finally found me All my friends have it, my magic core emblem. It works like a detection device that connects us together. We can tell if we have any danger from us, then we can help each other." Raisa's Report

"What happened yesterday? As long as your abduction goes on?" Ask Uncle Nathan, Morgan's Dad, Village Leader.
