Miss Most Perfect Beauty
Please Trust Me
Silent. There was no sound between them, only a gust of wind could be heard knocking on the greenhouse. Scarlesia was fixated on looking at Oliver who brought her gentle smile to be revealed to her. Implied in her pair of manics a deep sense of despair was felt by Scarlesia, her destruction as if it could be seen from how she stared.
“Don't look at me like that Sia, your destruction is my destruction. Can you trust me with your happiness? I'm gonna take you away from that pain. I beg you to hold on,” beg Oliver.
“I'm afraid to lose my way, I want to believe but I'm afraid to lose again,” Scarlesia said.
His cheeks flushed from the amount of alcohol he drank, Oliver exhaled and then he moved to sit beside Scarlesia.
“See here, raise your face,” tell Oliver.
Scarlesia charged towards Oliver, she raised her face. Oliver wiped away Scarlesia's tears, then he clasped her hands together.
“I will never leave you, please trust your life to me. I will protect you just as I protected you once, I will make you happy because you are half my soul. I die when you die, I live when you live.”
Scarlesia bit her lower lip, she wanted to speak between the wounds of her heart as if fire was burning on her. Oliver's words about right on the channel, his tears down so fast represent his feelings.
“Please don't cry anymore, you hurt me Sia. Don't be like this, I don't want you to leave me again. I'm without you like an empty shell with no life in it,” Oliver said.
“Sorry Oliver, I didn't mean to hurt you. I will try to entrust it to you and to others in my life. Me...”
Oliver pulls Scarlesia's hand into his arms, as calm approaches Scarlesia's soul. He had decided on it, deciding that his life would be entrusted to his beloved man.
“It's okay, now you have to calm yourself. Don't hurt yourself yeah,” Oliver said.
Scarlesia responded by nodding, her heart burden instantly freeing and making her calm. Oliver still held her until Scarlesia fell asleep in his arms, holding Scarlesia to his room. There Erin and Hana were still awake waiting for Scarlesia to return, they immediately prepared her bed. Scarlesia was left asleep until the morning before, she was awake when the clock was still showing at 5am.
“It looks like I woke up faster,” muttered Scarlesia.
He got off his bed, then stepped towards the window to open his window for the morning air to rush into his room. All the sadness on yesterday he forgot for a moment, his body also felt lighter than before.
“While Archie is no more, I still have to live life as usual. Is that so Archie? You don't want to see me dissolve in sadness. Please watch me from above, do’ your brother managed to reach the end goal of this world.”
From today on she stiffened her heart, trying not to drift away from the current of deep sadness. Smiling and stepping as usual is what he should do from now on. Yesterday he was devastated, but today he is pushing himself to rise from his slump.
“Your Majesty, are you awake? How are you feeling today? Are you still sad?” Cici had just come, she flew up and perched in Scarlesia's hands.
“I'm not sad anymore, don't worry. I will try to suppress my grief,” Scarlesia said.
“Thank God, I am sad to see you sad and helpless since Mr. Archie's death yesterday. I have always been a strong panda Her Majesty,” said Cici.
“Iya Cici, thank you for worrying about me.”
“Sia, are you awake?” sela Kitty asked.
Kitty emerged from under Scarlesia's bed, apparently she had been sleeping under Scarlesia's bed since last night.
“Kitty! Turns out you slept under my bed. I just woke up,” Scarlesia said.
“Is your feeling okay? Do you still feel sad?” ask Kitty.
Scarlesia stroked Kitty's head, convincing Kitty that she was okay now. Curving the smile of his lips he looked at Kitty, it reduced the bit of anxiety that gnawed at Kitty's feelings since yesterday.
“Sia, I will continue to be by your side. I won't let you be sad anymore, just like you did when you took care of me and raised me. I will continue to be with you in whatever condition it is,” Kitty said.
“Yes, I'm happy if you keep on with me. Don't leave me because you mean so much to me.”
Scarlesia gathered on the floor and hugged Kitty tightly, Cici also hugged her. Scarlesia's feelings have not fully improved, but she is forcing herself to look better so that people don't worry about her situation.
“I'll protect Sia, I won't let anyone hurt you again. Please be happy with us,” Kitty said.
“Yes Your Majesty, we will protect you. All animals on the face of the earth are on your side, please depend on us,” added Cici.
“I understand, I'll remember it all. Just relax.”
After that, Scarlesia left her room and went to Archie's room to see if Archie had left any important items or not before her room was cleared and cleaned by the servants.
Chequelek
Scarlesia slowly opened the door to Archie's unlocked room, her room was left in a neat and clean condition. Scarlesia knew for sure her sister's habits, she was very crazy about cleanliness and tidiness, she didn't like messy things. That's why when Archie was still with him, he loved to scold him when he found Scarlesia's room was still a mess when he woke up. Recalling the memories he shared with Archie hurt his little heart, the long-buried memories now resurrected.
Scarlesia sat on the edge of her bed, Archie's favorite lavender scent still lingering in the room. Then Scarlesia approached Archie's desk, which was composed of books on top of her, there are also notebooks on the objects he created and some even about his plans that want to change this world to be a little more modern.
“Huh? What is this box?”
When Scarlesia checked Archie's drawer, she found a small box inside. Curious, Scarlesia finally opened the box and she found a voice recording device made by Archie using magic stones. The shape of the tool is indeed very small, next to it there is a button that is useful to turn the device on or off and a button to record the sound.
Curiosity further cornered Scarlesia, she ventured to push the button to turn on the recorder. At first there was the sound of the noisy wind, in the middle there was only the sound of falling goods.
“What is this? Is Archie just testing this tool? Haha looks like he managed to upgrade his recording device. His voice is clearer than the previous recorder, okay I will enter..”.
“Halo brother, can brother hear my voice?”
