Lily's eyes started to move as the rays of sunshine shone to her and her room. She slowly opened the eyes and looked around the room, she was sleeping there for hours but she felt like it's just few minutes past before she went to bed.
Lily: Uuugghhh, is it just me or do I feel like the time pasts either too fast or too slow sometimes?
Lily pointed out her thought in a sore voice, remembering what happened at night with Kahar, the moment she hugged him was something she would cherished forever in her life, and for him in that case.
Lily: I wonder what's going to happen today, let me take a warm shower first.
Lily motivated herself and jumped from her bed, before heading to the washroom for a nice shower. She was singing happily in the shower without caring about anything, even if someone heard her singing from the washroom.
Naim just crossed by Lily's room when he heard a singing voice, he turned around to look but he found no one, he then turned to her room and took a step forward, realising that the voice was coming from the room. He peeked in from outside to see, then he heard her singing out loud in the washroom. He immediately closed the door and laughed silently, embarrassed by what he just witnessed.
Naim: She really is a good singer.
Naim shook his head and smiled widely, before leaving the area to do his own respective job. After a while, Lily came out from the washroom and dried her hair, wearing some nice outfit for the day ahead. She let her hair straight and noticed that her hair grew so much till the level of her thighs.
Lily: I guess it's nice to grow such a long hair, even though I looked a bit like a ghost.
Lily teased herself and laughed softly, she checked the time and it shown half past 7 in the morning.
Lily: I guess the class must be started by now. Let's go and meet Mia, it's been a while since I saw her.
Lily was about to get out from her room when her phone popped out with a notification, she picked it up and saw it, it was a message from someone, which shown an unknown number.
Lily: Who is this? Why is he messaging me right now?
Lily tapped the notification and checked the message she received from that unknown person, it read.....
You might be the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my school, although it's a boys school. You seem to be kind and nice to everyone, with your humble and true care. I hope I can talk to you sometimes.
From: Someone
Lily was confused by the sudden message from an unknown contact, she can be sure that it might be someone from the school. She smirked intentionally from having such a mystery boy in her track right now.
Lily: Looks like I have a secret admirer here at school.
Lily chuckled slightly and covered her face from embarrassment, her phone suddenly rang from someone's call, she looked at the screen and smirked even more.
Lily: Look who we have here......
Mia: Lily, I know I have an explanation for last night, so meet me at the canteen now.
Lily: You have to, young lady, cause you're in so much trouble.
Mia: Why? Am I in danger or something? ( chuckles )
Lily: Well, you could say because of me.
Mia: Oh really? Don't try to kill me then, or you will be sent to jail.
Lily: Hahahaha, alright, enough of your talk, I will come there right away.
Lily cut the call and put her phone in her pocket, before leaving her room with her necessary things.
Faniza just entered the Form 4 class with her notebooks on her hands.
Faniza: Good day, class. How does it feel to be in this school right now? I hope you all are getting well with it, so let's start our today's class.
Before Faniza could even start, someone knocked on the door. It was her daughter Lily on the door.
Faniza: Lily!!
Naim and Fakhri both turned immediately to Lily when she appeared on the door, she excused everyone and went next to her.
Lily: Mom, can I have a word with you?
Faniza: What is it, Lily? I'm having a class right now.
Lily: Oh, then I'll meet you at your office, cause this is really urgent Mom.
Faniza: Urgent? What is it?
Lily: I'll tell you everything there, ok?
Faniza nodded her head and patted Lily's head, she apologized to everyone and left the class in a hurry. Both Naim and Fakhri were confused as the sudden apperance of her in their class, they started to have the fear of being caught.
After a few classes, Faniza came back to her office, only to see Lily and Mr. Sin standing next to her table.
Faniza: Lily! Mr. Sin! What's going on? Why did you meet me at my class?
Lily: Mom, this is something you need to know.
Faniza: What happened? Is anything gone wrong again?
Mr. Sin: Puan Faniza, you made the right choice to let your daughter to stay in our school.
Faniza: What do you mean? I don't get it.
Lily: Mom, after I accompanied you to your car, I was on my way to go back to my room as it's late at night. Then........
Faniza: Then what Lily?
Lily: I spotted a stain of blood on a wall, on the corner of my eyes.
Faniza: You what?!!
Lily turned completely to Faniza who had a shock reaction on her face.
Lily: The blood looked so fresh, as it's someone got hurt at that time. But I don't know who it is as no one was outside.
Faniza: Oh my god, Mr. Sin, what is she talking about?
Mr. Sin: Yes, Puan Faniza, Lily discovered some blood on the wall, she called me as soon as possible and went to check, I was shocked to witness with my naked eyes.
Faniza put all of her things on her table and sighed, hoping that it's not a big issue.
Faniza: Well, maybe it's an animal blood, some wild animals might had entered by that time and.....
Lily: That's where you're wrong Mom, cause you see, Mr. Sin collected some of it and send it to a lab, and it's a human blood.
Faniza: No...no.....this can't be happening right now.........
Mr. Sin: Puan Faniza, I do understand what you're thinking, but we now have discovered another thing from your daughter.
Faniza: What do you mean? What is it Lily?
Lily: Well........after witnessing the blood, I decided to check the whole dormitory to see if anyone's injured, and guess what?
Faniza leaned more closer to Lily as she was ready to hear what she's gonna tell.
Lily: The dormitory was empty.
Faniza: What?!!
Lily: No one was at the dormitory at that time. I checked the whole room, the block, but all I did see was no one, there's literally no one there. I was quite tensed at that moment, but I didn't take that seriously hence I went back to bed.
Mr. Sin: Puan Faniza, you won't believe the rumours, but you believe in your daughter right?
Faniza: My daughter would never lie to me, I was quite shocked by what she discovered.
Mr. Sin: These are the signs that these boys are hiding something from us.
Lily: In fact, something huge, something's going on without our knowledge, it's still happening behind our backs.
Faniza: Lily!! Are you sure you didn't see anyone outside?!
Lily: Well, to tell you the truth, I saw Kahar outside.
Faniza: Kahar? He's........
Mr. Sin: Dato's last son.
Faniza: Ya, him. What was he doing there?
Lily: That's where it got more complicated, he was sweating so much when he showed up in front of me, like he did something before that, and when I asked him, he said he was doing exercise.
Faniza: Uggghh.........Mr. Sin, do the blood sample could tell us who's it?
Mr. Sin: Unfortunately, no Puan Faniza, the sample was not enough to reveal the who's blood belonged to, but all we got to know that it's a man's blood.
Faniza: A man?
Mr. Sin: Puan Faniza, I'm afraid we should interrogate Kahar for this suspicious event.
Lily: Can I do the honour?
Faniza: Can you Lily?
Lily: Relax Mom, I will try to talk about it casually, but don't let this issue to be leaked for now, it's for everyone's best. What do you say?
Mr. Sin: Ok, if that's what you think.
Lily: Mom, I'll see you later, take a good rest.
Faniza: All right, take care.
Lily closed the office door after telling everything she witnessed last night, now she was suspicious of Kahar who was roaming yesterday late at night, his body language could tell something was off, she was thinking about these event suspiciously, without even realising tripped on a chair.
Lily was about to fall on the ground, when a pair of hands held her waist tightly before hitting on the ground, she closed her eyes and ready to take the hit, but unexpectedly she was being held by someone. She opened her eyes slowly, and shown a prefect guy with his bright eyes staring at you.
Lily: Am.......Amir?...........
Naim and Fakhri were walking on their own on the opposite way when they witnessed the scene in front of their own eyes, Amir was holding Lily tightly on her waist, and that was enough to lit a fire on their burning stomaches.
Amir quickly made Lily to stand straight and checked her whole body to see if she's injured.
Amir: Are you all right? Did you hurt anywhere?
Lily: I'm fine, thanks for saving my life. I really appreciate it.
Amir: ( chuckles ) Save your life? I just saved your from falling over.
Lily: You don't understand, I sometimes can be clumsy and hurt myself often, that's why.
Amir: But try to be careful next time Lily, cause I don't want you to get hurt.
Lily suddenly raised her head and looked into Amir's eyes, unaware of what he said, he looked away immediately from blushing in front of her. She chuckled slightly and looked down in embarrasment as well.
Lily: Since when did you boys become so cheesy?
Amir: After meeting you I guess.......
Amir scratched his head as he had no idea to keep talking to Lily, she was quite interested on him right now.
Lily: We should get to know each other Amir, I think I'm interested in you right now.
After hearing the unexpected words, Amir widened his eyes and looked at Lily, before turning away and blushed even more. Naim and Fakhri were witnessing the whole scene, both brothers were in rage on Amir, as she was now interested on him.
Lily: By the way, thanks for saving me. I need to go now.
Before Lily turned, she took out a pen from her pocket, she held Amir's hand and wrote her phone number on his palm, her touch on his hand made him something irresistable. He was looking at her when she was writing it down.
Lily: This is my phone number, save it for me. Ok? Bye Amir!!!
Lily waved at Amir before leaving the area, without knowing Fakhri was standing next to her, he was looking at her, not believing that she didn't notice him standing there.
Fakhri: Is she that short-sighted? I'll deal with her later.
On the other hand, Amir was looking at his palm deeply, which had a phone number of Lily written down. He looked at the way where she went and smiled, knowing inside that he had a chance after all. He turnd around to leave only to see Naim standing in front of him, that made him jerk out.
Amir: Uishhh, you scared me!!
Naim was glaring at Amir with his jaws clenched, both of his arms were clenched at the thought of Lily talking to him. Now he realised he's also part of the competition now.
Amir: What are you staring me at?
Naim: I wished you were my opponent in Manifesto.
Naim sticked out his tongue and walked past him, when Amir got a mischievious idea and grinned slightly.
Amir: Well, a small correction, you wished I was your opponent for Lily.
Naim stopped his tracks and breathed heavily, he turned around and glared deadly at Amir, who was having a smirk on his face.
Naim: You will be doomed if I catch you!!!
Naim charged toward Amir all of a sudden, he immediately ran off from the place, escaping from the danger ahead. At the other side, Fakhri was looking at the duo and sighed in disbelief.
Fakhri: I have no idea if I'm the younger one or he is.
With that said, Fakhri left the place, thinking about how to impress Lily with all he can do.
