Lily just went back to her room after decided to watch the camp going on with Mia, she was kind of surprised that Mia agreed to go with her for the camp, although she's totally not interested in it.

Just then, Faniza entered Lily's room to talk to her privately.

Lily: Mom, what is going on here?

Faniza: I know Sweetie, just calm down for a while.

Lily: How can I calm down? It's not a small matter.

Faniza sat beside Lily who's in a confusion, or maybe she's frustrated.

Faniza: Lily, I know it's a bit risky, but you have to do this for our school's good. Even I'm against at it first, but I had no other choice but to go for it.

Lily: Mom, I have been keeping an eye on all those boys, they all just seemed fine.

Faniza: Well, you wouldn't had say like this if you see some boys's condition.

Lily: What do you mean?

Faniza: One of my Form 4 student, Fakhri has some bruises on his face.

Lily: Wait? Fakhri?!!

Faniza: Yes Lily, and then I noticed Kahar's face has bruises too when I entered to his class.

Lily: What?! Kahar too?!

Faniza: I was quite disturbed by how their faces were, it looks so painful.

Lily: Did you ask them about it? Did they say anything?

Faniza: I did ask to both of them, but seemed their reasons are quite off, like Fakhri, who said he tripped onto the floor without being careful, and then Kahar, who said he's being hit by a huge log behind the school.

Lily: Those were the reasons? It's quite not making any sense.

Faniza: I know right? Their explanations weren't so concerned for me.

Lily: What if I tried to ask them?

Faniza: You? They're going to tell you the same anyway.

Lily: But let me try to know the truth.....

Faniza: Lily........I trust you.........

Lily: For what Mom?

Faniza: Our school's future, the boys, our institution, everything is in your hand now Lily, don't even give up, you know what I always told you and your brother.

Lily: Yes, never give up no matter what.

Faniza: Good. Ok, it's getting late, I should go now.

Lily: Mom, let me accompany you.

Lily: What? Is it true?

Faniza: Yes dear, I just found out that there were three students who studied here had passed away due to unknown reasons.

Lily: And, did they found out the truth behind their deaths?

Faniza: No, the case had been going on for half a year, and it's closed after discussing to our school.

Lily: That's so awful, what a horrible way to die.

Faniza: Their parents might be devastated from their children's death, it's so hard to think about it.

As Faniza and Lily walked by the walkway, they saw Mr. Sin interrogating with two boys, along with another two boys who standing next to them.

Lily: What's going on there?

Faniza: I don't know, let's go and see.

Both of them walked toward them, only to be greeted by Mr. Sin, Lily stood next to him and realised it's none other than Fakhri and Kahar, they were quite shocked as they were not expecting her to be there, she turned her head to the other two boys, it's the two prefects who will be together for all the time, Naim and Amir.

All four of them had the same shocked facial expression when they see Lily showed up with her mom.

Mr. Sin: Good evening, Puan Faniza and Lily.

Faniza: Mr. Sin, what's going on here?

Mr. Sin: Well, I was wondering around in this dormitory when this two boys, Kahar and Fakhri were shouting at each other. So I called them to interrogate about it, and Naim and Amir accompanied me here when they walked around.

Faniza: All right, go ahead. Ok Lily, see you tomorrow then.

Lily: Ok Mom, bye.

Faniza: Bye sweetie.

Faniza and Lily hugged and gave a kiss on their cheeks each other, before she left at the area and waved at her. She looked at Mr. Sin who had a slight smile on his face.

Lily: What?

Faniza: Nothing, just admiring the mother-daughter duo.

Just then, Mr. Sin got a call from someone.

Mr. Sin: Oh no, it's an urgent call, but I still need to interrogate them.

Lily: Erm...would you mind if I do the honour?

Lily came out to help Mr. Sin, as it's the right time to ask both Fakhri and Kahar about their matter, both of them were gulping in fear as they had no idea what was about to come to them.

Mr. Sin: Are you sure, Lily? I don't want to put any pressure on you.

Lily: It's fine, I will ask them.

Mr. Sin: Ok, thank you, make sure they tell the truth.

Mr. Sin patted at Lily's shoulder, before glancing at the boys and left the area. Kahar cupped his lips and turned slightly to leave from there as well.

Lily: Kahar!!!

Kahar hissed and closed his eyes, before slowly turning back to Lily. Fakhri had a smug smile as he knew both of them can't escape from her questions. Naim and Amir on the side were enjoying the scenario which they didn't bother to at first, but now so curious to know what's going to happen.

Amir: Naim, this is going to be so much fun.

Naim: Hehehehe, I know I know, let's see how will they escape from her.

Lily: Uh....Naim, Amir, you can leave if you want to, I'm not forcing you to stay here.

Fakhri: Yes Naim, you must be tired, go back to your bed.

Naim glared slightly at Fakhri, who's trying to get rid of him from the place. But, we all knew how Naim will try so hard just to stay there for Lily as well.

Naim: No worries, I'll accompany you Lily, like Puan Faniza said, your safety is my responsibility.

Amir pinched Naim's waist as he forgot to include him as well, he flinched in pain and straighten himself again.

Naim: I mean, your safety is our responsibility.

Fakhri: ( murmures ) He's not even responsible for me, but he would be if it's Lily.

Kahar: Because he likes her just like us.

Naim glared at both Kahar and Fakhri, who were teasing him together to make him annoyed. Both of them gave a shakehands secretly as they teamed up all of a sudden.

Lily: Oh Naim, that's so nice of you. No wonder you're being chosen as a prefect, unlike Fakhri and Kahar who wanted to fight with anyone.

Lily said the last sentence with a bit annoyed voice when she looked at Fakhri and Kahar, both of them widened their eyes as it's almost looked like she found out the truth. Naim and Amir were trying to hold back their laughter so hard as now they were embarrassed by her, they both glared back at them deadly like how would they do.

Lily: Anyway, Fakhri, Kahar, what happened to your faces?

Lily openly asked the question to the two boys, both of them gulped at the question and tried to find a way to lie like how would they do to anyone in case if they got caught.

Naim: She's asking to you both, answer her.

Fakhri and Kahar glared again at Naim, who had a smirk on his face.

Kahar: I....I.....I was tripped on the floor.

Fakhri: I got hit by the log behind the school.

Lily nodded her head slightly when she was shocked to hear the unexpected thing.

Lily: Wait!! Isn't that supposed to be Fakhri who tripped on the floor and Kahar who got hit by the log?!!

Fakhri and Kahar closed their eyes tightly and hissed, accidentally swapped their reasons without even noticing.

Amir: ( murmures ) No wonder Lily's a smart girl.

Fakhri: I mean...I mean...yeah, he's telling my reason and I'm telling his reason, right Kahar?

Fakhri nudged at Kahar's shoulder who's moving his mouth to speak out something.

Kahar: Ya...ya...ya, that's the truth, that's the truth.

Naim: I feel like they're lying.

Naim said with a smirk, causing both Fakhri and Kahar to glare at him again.

Lily: You're absolutely right Naim, they are lying.

Lily agreed with Naim's word, which made him flied into the air in happiness, Fakhri and Kahar were quite shocked as she didn't believe their lies, their stupidity won't work with Lily's smartness.

Kahar: Cinta Hati!!!

Fakhri: Sunshine!!!

Both called out Lily's nicknames which named by them at the same time, Lily widened their eyes and looked at Naim and Amir, who squinted their eyes at the way they called her, she scratched her eyebrows in embarrassment. Fakhri and Kahar looked at each other, before went back to silence again.

Lily: Do you think I will believe your lame reasons? Your bruises on your faces are clearly not telling that you tripped on the floor or got hit by a log. This is really ridiculous.

Lily slowly went toward Fakhri and Kahar, they were frozed at their own places, as if they were being controlled by something invisible, well let's just say they were controlled by her closeness.

Lily: Are you both perhaps went into a fight?

Fakhri and Kahar was getting more shocked minute by minute, they did know how smart Lily was, but didn't expect she would be that smart, smart enough to tell the reasons of their bruises. Naim and Amir were impressed by her smartness, but appearantly they're impressed from many things of her.

Fakhri: Uh...Lily.....I.......

Kahar: We....fight?..........

Lily: What? Cat got your tongue? Speak up.

Kahar was signalling at Fakhri to say something, as they were in the peak of nervousness.

Fakhri: Yes, we did.

Kahar: No, we didn't.

Fakhri and Kahar looked at each other in shock again, they licked their lips before speaking up again.

Fakhri: No, we didn't.

Kahar: Yes, we did.

Fakhri and Kahar were blabbering with words that were being swapped by their minds, they both gave a dead glare at each other before turning to Lily again.

She, on the other hand had enough of their words, their body language was enough to let her know the truth. She raised her hand to stop them from saying anything anymore.

Lily: I had enough of you both, what have you done? Do you think fighting is the only way to solve any problems?

Fakhri and Kahar were tongue-tied for Lily's question, they were in bad terms since their first meet, and it's also aware to Naim and Amir who were standing silently next to them.

Lily: Listen, I don't want to know what's happening between you both, but please try to solve it as soon as possible. Cause if not, your personal problem can become a whole Kudrat problem, do you understand?

Amir: ( murmures ) She doesn't know it's actually a Kudrat problem.

Naim: Shut up, she might hear you.

Lily: And Naim, Amir, be sure to not let them or anyone else to fight anymore. Ok?

Naim: Yes, Lily.

Amir: We will look after them.

Lily: Good.

Lily turned back to Fakhri and Kahar, their heads hung down to the floor, they felt guilty and sad to be scolded by her who they admired and cared a lot. She sighed and spoke up to clear the tension in the air.

Lily: Look, I'm not scolding you all for no reason, it's because I care about you all. Including Fakhri, Kahar, Naim, Amir and everyone in this school. Please don't break my trust on you all, I won't have that energy to bear that long. You can go back to your rooms now.

Lily turned slowly, closing her eyes in silence, before walking away from the boys. Fakhri and Kahar were quite sad and heartbroken as they thought they had hurted her for their fight, while Naim and Amir felt guilty for not doing anything for her as she's upset.

Kahar suddenly pushed Fakhri's shoulder and glared at him deadly, fully facing him closer.

Kahar: Fakhri, you might got escaped from me, I'll spare you for now only for Lily, or else you would have been dead by now.

Fakhri put his both hands on his pockets, walking toward Kahar with a smug face.

Fakhri: Then do you think I'm doing this only for myself? That's the same to me, Kapla.

Kahar: Don't try to snatch Lily away from me.

Fakhri: Fight me first Kapla, or you will lose both to me and.....LILY.....

Fakhri put more pressure on when she said Lily's name, this made Kahar to rage in anger, he breathed heavily in anger just to see him smirking in front of him. Naim was quite disturbed to the fact they were both doing it only for her, he was determined to protect her from any danger ahead.

Amir: Naim, let's go back, we can't do anything to their fight.

Amir left the place, followed by Naim who glanced both at Fakhri and Kahar. They both glared one last time before leaving the place to their respective rooms.

Lily was very disappointed to Fakhri and Kahar as she never expected them to fight against each other, she was worried that this might end up in a bigger problem. As she walked past the canteen, someone held her hand and pulled her aside, she balanced herself from falling before looking up, a shadow can be seen in the dark.

Lily: Who are you?

The shadow slowly walked toward Lily, and the darkness slowly moving away from it, only to see a familiar guy who she encountered.

Lily: Pr...Prakash?..........

It was Prakash who pulled Lily to his side, he wanted to come across to her again, which he did in on purpose.

Prakash: It's been a while, Lily........

Lily: What are you doing here? You should be at your room by now.

Prakash: Oh please, are you saying I should be in my room all the time? That's so boring, unlike you roaming around here.

Lily: Hey, I'm not roaming around, I'm just....uh.....looking after the school.........

Prakash smirked at Lily all of a sudden, which she gulped in return.

Lily: Why are you smiling?

Prakash: I like it when you're being so nervous cause of me.

Lily: Who said I'm nervous? I'm a bold girl you know.

Prakash: Oh really? Show me how bold you are then.

Lily: Prakash, first tell me why are you here?

Prakash: I don't know, maybe to look for you?

Lily: Is this supposed to be a joke?

Prakash: If that's how you take, I don't mind.

Lily: Hmm, you seem like a silent and tough man, but appearantly you are being such a bully and teasing to me.

Prakash: I'm glad to hear that you know about me, I guess you started to like me then, right?

Prakash winked at Lily with a warm smile, which made her face red like a tomato. He really liked to tease her so much when she's blushing.

Lily: Youuuuuuuu.....I'm leaving......

Prakash: Lily!!!

Lily stopped her track when Prakash called her out.

Prakash: You look so pretty as always in my eyes, shining like the stars above the skies.

Lily's face turned red even more when she heard sweet compliment from Prakash, she fanned herself and turned back to him.

Lily: Look, don't try to make me all flustered. Get lost.....or what's that word in Tamil...uh....right. Poda!!!!

Lily told Prakash to go away in Tamil, which made him laugh out heartily, that's the first time she heard him laugh, and she liked it and smiled widely, before she left immediately. He smiled where she went before turning to leave from that place, he made a note in mind to keep in touch on her.

Cause now, Prakash's kind of interested in Lily.
