6 Chapter 6

I woke up early in the morning to chat with Leaf. There's no one I can think of with my plan except her. Gladly, she is always ready for anything except...

"I don't prefer Autumn to be her husband though. I am better than him" she said

"Then what if her real-world husband is worse than Autumn? Will you let it happen?" I asked

"NO! The Autumn Motivational Pursue Plan is on!" she shouted and laughed

"I will join you too!" Life insisted

"And what will you do?" Leaf asked

"Tell Autumn you two are trying hard to let him be selfish enough and stole Rain's freedom of choice" he answered

Leaf punched him and he almost spilled the grapes he is eating.

"It is not selfish. You heard Wind, Rain said she'd love to stay if Autumn wants. Then it is not violating her freedom of choice!" Leaf debated

"Then I'll join you," Life said again

"What now?" she asked him

"I will talk to Rain and tell her to speak honestly with Autumn. This way, Autumn may consider and pity her" he said

Another punch was hit again to Life's stomach. Poor thing. But, it's true. Rain must also have the spirit to tell Autumn what she feels. This way, Autumn will never doubt his actions.

"I know my brother most. He'll never fall in love with a fragile girl. He stayed here for the reason that she can sleep with every other woman and reject people he doesn't want to. That's my real brother" Life said

"Do not compare him to you?" Leaf said coldly

"If you think I am the worst, you're wrong. My brother is" Life said and went inside the house

"Now, now... What's the plan my darling Wind?" Leaf asked

And so, we started our plan. I helped Rain have the makeover that will make Autumn fall deeply in love with her while Leaf talked to Autumn. I removed the hair ornament on her hair and changed it to flowers. It looked nice to Rain, I love it. Then I pretended that we just passed by to Autumn and saw his reaction.

"Rain, what a sudden change of hairstyle" he pointed out

Yes, the first try is a success.

"Eh? I'm sorry, is it ugly?" Rain asked

"No way, it looks... good... Yes, it looks good" he said

Is it just me or Autumn's face darkened again? Didn't he like it? Then days continued and we tried our best to get Autumn's attention, but they all seemed to be ineffective.

The next day, I am ready to go out when some strong force pulled my hands.

"Stop messing around! Do not provoke the other areas!" he warned me

He just returned and is so mad at me. Why? He left me for I do not know how many days then come here just to tell me to stop? What will happen to Rain and Autumn?

"Just leave me alone. If you do not care about anything in the world, then mind your own business!" I said

I was shocked by my words.

"I'm sorry, I think I've gone too far" I apologized

"No, just go" he answered

Is he sad or angry? I wonder what happened on his journey, he looked exhausted. As I entered the Fall area, Rain pulled me and locked me on the back of the tree.

"What are you doing?" she asked angrily

"I am helping you," I said innocently

"Helping from what?" she asked

"Helping you to be together with Autumn" I responded

"No! You're just making it worst! Look, I don't need any help. If Autumn wants me to stay, I'll stay. If not, then I'll go. I know you are my friend, do not cross the boundary without knowing anything. Indeed, Autumn is a type of man who's too good to be true, but I don't dare think I could captivate his heart. So stay up with your own business and never meddle with one's lives. Wind, this is a warning, I might hate you" she said

I fell on my knees as I heard that. She hates me. She hates me now. I didn't remember when Leaf helped me stand or when did I go to the Spring area.

"Are you fine now?" Leaf asked

"Rain hates me" I replied

"Maybe Life is right. Maybe we should not mess up with their lives. Leaf, what do I do? Rain hate me now" I said

"Ssh... Everything is fine. I know Rain is somehow disappointed, but she will not hate you" Leaf comforted

"Wind, Leaf, what a good timing? I am looking for you" Autumn greeted

"Why is he so fast?" Leaf murmured

"Autumn, ha-ha" Leaf faked and Autumn smiled

"You have time to be a clown, I hope you also have time to explain what's happening?" he replied

"In that case, I am here. Hello bro" Life greeted

He opened his fan and close it by Leaf's head. Leaf controlled her temper for some reason. May be Life is our only escape.

"My dear brother, am I a good matchmaker? My kind apprentices helped you find your forever" Life said

"So it's you. How come you even invited Wind and Leaf on your trickery?" he asked while smiling which made him scary

"Of course, I am so good brother, as for the reason, I believe you are getting old and it's a shame to our handsome family bloodline to have the first child single with his whole life, right?" Life lied

"Then, you know your mistake?" Autumn asked

"What?" Life replied

Dry leaves floated on Autumn's back. Life was too shock. I guess we made Autumn mad. The dry leaves surrounded Life and we heard him cried in pain. What is this? Leaf seemed concerned about what is happening and was about to touch Autumn.

"Leaf, don't move. I am fine. This is my mistake, just don't come near Autumn. Not this time or forever" Life shouted

Life is in danger and it is my fault. I have to do something, but how? I ran to Life without even thinking. I tried to get Life's hand and pull him, but the leaves pushed me back. Such power. I wish I can have some power to protect. Life shouted and I saw blood spilled on his mouth.

"STOP!" I shouted and a strong wind blew away all the leaves and made the plant leaves blown in a few moments

The three of them were in shock. I can't believe it. Is it just me or I used the wind to help life? Now, all I have to do is to admit my mistake. I don't want someone to carry my fault anymore. This made them hate me and lock me up.

"It's me. I am heartbroken by a hidden love. I thought if it was said out loud, Rain won't leave you alone. Then you two can live happily together. All I did was out of selfishness, Life stopped me, but Leaf wanted to help me and had no choice. It's all my fault, please stop hurting anyone. It should be me. I'm sorry" I cried

"All my life I've been afraid of going out because maybe they'll hate me and do nasty things to me. Then, all of you were so kind to me and all I think is I have to do you a favor. I didn't mean to make you angry or hate Rain even more." I added

"Wind" Autumn called

"I'm so sorry... I'm sorry..." I said and ran away

Maybe I'm not meant of making friends. I am born to be alone. I pretend to understand what is happening, yet the truth is I just want to jump in the conclusion of my truth. It's embarrassing to get out anymore. I will just spend three years in that wooden house. After all, all I have to do is to serve Winter then I will forget the time had passed.
