15 Chapter 14: I Should Not
I woke up in an unfamiliar place. My head is aching and I didn't know why. I just found myself lying on a couch inside of a van?
Wait? Where am I?
"Goodmorning. How's your sleep?" I heard someone greeted. I looked to that person and shock registered on my face.
"Mr. Pome? W-what happened? Where am I? What am I doing here?"
"See? I told you not to drink too much. It causes you trouble. You didn't even remember what happened last night."
"Last night?" I kept asking and I just found myself covering my body?
"Last night? What did you do last night?!"
"Easy, Fion. I didn't do anything. Rojen brought you here because you drank so much that it made you dance and dance the whole night. You're lucky that Rojen's there beside you or you might woke up on anyone's bed." He said.
"Argh! My head!"
"Here. I cooked a chicken soup for your hangover." he gave me a bowl full of aromatic chicken soup.
"Thank you, Mr. Pome and I'm sorry that I think of you that way."
"Don't mind it, you're just drunk." he said and laughed. I just laughed with him too.
"By the way, Mr. Pome, where's Rojen?"
"Oh, Rojen? There at the seashore, enjoying the view and the water."
"I want to see him."
"Chill. He said that you need to stay here and take a rest. He'll come back soon."
I did nothing but just nod and layed my back on the couch. I took a sip on my chicken and it taste really great. Mr. Pome's food tastes really great. He could be a masterchef if he wanted to.
I put the bowl of chicken soup on the table and took a rest. After that, I just found myself sleeping again.

Rojen's POV
After watching the sun rise and feel the cold breeze of the wind that touches my skin, I decided to go back to Mr. Pome's van to check if Fiona woke up already.
There are may people enjoying the view of the sea and the different voices of birds and insects are visible everywhere. It give such a great and refreshing feeling, good for Fiona to feel calm.
"Hey there, Mr. Pome."
"Hey! How's your time there at the seashore?"
"It's great. I enjoyed the sunrise and the cold breeze of the wind. It's so refreshing here at the sea."
"Yeah! That's why this is one of my favorite place to sell grilled chicken."
I just smiled at him.
"By the way, Mr. Pome, Did Fiona woke up already?"
"Yeah. I gave her chicken soup. She said she wanted to see you but I didn't let her as you said so she didn't complain anymore."
"Great. Then let m check her."
"Sure."
After our conversation, I walked to the van to check what Fiona was doing.
I saw nothing but a sleeping woman on the couch. She looked so calm and peaceful. I walked towards her and looked at her beautiful face. She's sleeping peaceful and her face looks so calm. You can't see on her sleeping all the problems and hardships she experienced before.
"I hope that this calm face of your will remain this calm whenever I'm not here anymore." I whispered.
I touched her face with my fingers. I felt the she moved and after a couple of seconds, I saw how she opened her eyes. They're shining and the reflection of the light from the window to her fave looked so beautiful.
"Goodmorning." I whispered.

Fiona's POV
I felt someone touches my face and his voice and smell are familiar to me so I moved and opened my eyes slowly. I saw Rojen's face. But never seen his face so close to me. His eyes and smile are so fascinating that my heart beats so fast in an unknown reason. How the sun reflects on his hazelnuts eyes looked so perfect. Really perfect.
"Goodmorning." He whispered.
I was about to answer his question when I remembered something he said before so I stopped myself to be carried away by his charm.
"Uh... yeah! Haha... M-morning? No... Goodmorning. Uh... I think I need to go to the comfort room first, hihi." I muttered.
I stood up but I hit my head on the roof because of my wreckleckness so the headache I felt seems to increase it's pain level.
"Hey? Are you okay? Why do you look so panicked?"
"Y-yeah! I'm okay. I'm okay." I said without looking at him.
I walked pass through the door and I saw Mr. Pome preparing something.
"Hi there, Fiona."
"H-hi."
"Is anything wrong?"
"No! Nothing. Mr. Pome, where's the comfort room?"
"There." he pointed.
"Thanks." I said and walked away so fast.
"Wooh! Calm down self, calm down. Calm down, okay? Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale." I whispered as I entered one of the cubicle inside of the comfort room.
"He's your friend. A friend. Nothing but a friend, a brother. Nothing more. But why am I feeling feeling something strange inside me towards him? Argh!"
"You know Fiona that he can't feel love towards human or he can't finish his mission here. Remember? That's the purpose why his here so you better stop yourself from doing that. Not him."
"Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale."
When I feel calm already, I stepped out of the cubicle and washed my face on the sink. I watched my face on the mirror and it's still the same.
I wiped my face and walked pass through the door. I watched the sea and the people walking to stop myself thinking about what happened earlier and I guess I did it but when I saw Rojen again, the memories came back.
Ugh! I hate it.
"Hey Fiona? You okay?" He asked, worried.
"Yeah. It's just that I'm shocked that your face was that close to mine." I replied.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I was just looking at your face because it looked so lovely."
I stopped from walking because of what he said.
'What should I do now?' My thoughts.
"Uhm... What time will we go back to the city?" I asked, Trying to change the topic.
"It's up to you."
"Then pack your things up and ready yourself. We'll go home."
"Okay then." he replied.
We started to walk near the van silently. No one tried to ruin the silence that intervened between us.
"Hey! There you are. Wanna eat?"
"Hi Mr. Pome. We would like to go home already." I said.
"Uhm... If it's okay with you, you can ride with me go back to the city. I'll go there after I finished eating. And also you can save money because you won't pay for your ride anymore."
"Are you sure, Mr. Pome?"
"Yes! I'm sure. It'll be fun if we go back to the city together."
"I agree." Rojen said.
"Okay then let's have a meal first so that we won't feel hungry while travelling."
I have no choice but to agreed. Well as far as I have imagined, it was fun, indeed, travelling with your friends.
This will be great.
