7 Chapter 7

"Will you get out of our room now?" Winter asked

"No" I replied

"Cook, I'm hungry" he ordered

"I already did it," I said

"Not enough" he responded

I stood up and went to the kitchen to cook. When I finished, Winter pulled me. He commanded me to pack all the food and I followed. Papa Bear gave us a lift. I am not in the mood to think of where are we going. I rest on Winter's chest, he didn't argue and just let me. I don't know which part of the seasons is this place, but it seems like it has a feast. Heat waved at us and I just nodded. I don't want to meet any of them.

"Wind! You came out at last!" Life greeted

"Wind" Leaf smiled

"I don't want to go out" I whispered

Winter pulled his new coat and I used it to hid myself. Winter is so warm, so comfortable.

"Until when will you hide there?" Winter asked

"Until we go home" I replied

"You're so in love with me that you can't take any second away from me? What kind of love spell did you do to yourself?" he asked

I am irritated, but I can't bear if he threw me out of the crowd. Winter helped me down and hid me again on his coat.

"Happy Birthday, Autumn" Winter greeted

"It's new for you to greet me first," Autumn said

"That's for my wife, not for me," he said and gave the food I cooked

"That's so kind of Wind. I wonder if she's scared about what happened. Rain is worried about her, too." Autumn responded

"My brother, I think you gained some weight." Autumn noticed and was about to poke Winter's chest, but he stopped him

"Maybe yes... My wife is a good cook. She's concerned of my well -being" Winter replied

"Good cook but all compliments were not bad?" I murmured

Winter hugged me and rest his chin on my head. He's irritating me. Wind, control yourself. Get your revenge when you're already home.

"Rain is here!" Life shouted

I looked in the small hole I made in Winter's coat opening. She's so beautiful. She wears a simple blue dress with a butterfly hair dress. Is it goodbye? Rain stopped in front of Winter.

"Thank you for coming, my friend. I'm sorry for my words. Let's keep in touch, okay?" she said

"When did Rain had a relationship with Winter?" Sunlight asked

"No, Wind is inside Winter's coat all this time" Heat responded

"Will you go out now?" Winter asked

"No," I said

"You won't have any chance to say goodbye?" he reminded

"It's fine. I don't say goodbyes" I answered

"Hard-headed," he said and removed his coat

I automatically hugged him, thinking it will hide me to the crowd.

"I underestimated you, my cold Winter. You've made big progress" the Master said

I pushed Winter away. They are all playing games with me. They think I am a fool. I sat and covered my face. I'm not here. I'm not here. A coat covered me.

"Tada! I'm so good of magic. See? That's my farewell gift to rain! Look, I created Wind's illusion" I heard Heat's voice

"Haha, we almost buy your tricks, Heat" Autumn added

"Let's proceed with the ceremony," the Master said

I felt someone lift me. It is Papa Bear in his human form.

"The master said, you can still watch from afar. Besides, you're so excited of leaving this place" he said

He put me on his shoulder and transformed into his bear form. Now, I am sitting on the giant bear's shoulder.

I watched how the butterfly crown flew away and enveloped Rain. So this is the ceremony. What ceremony will I have when I leave this place? Everyone became silent.

"What's happening?" I asked

"The master is talking to Rain's heart," he replied

"And then?" I asked

"He's looking for a request. I do not know how many but the heart can't lie, the master will try to grant her final request" he responded

A light fluctuated inside Rain. Then... she faded. I cried on Papa Bear's fur and regretted everything. I'm so light-headed to miss the chance. I wonder if I can find Rain someday.

"Now that Rain's wishes were granted, let me hear Autumn's one wish for his birthday"

"Stupid, you know what I wanted in the first place, why hear it out?" Autumn asked

"My lonely Fall... You know it was a rule," the Master responded

"I want a new set of writing materials," he said

"I granted it before, change wish," the Master said

"I new set of clothes will do" Autumn responded

"I've sent it a not long while ago, change with," the Master said

"How come?" I asked

"Maybe that's all Rain's wishes?" Papa Bear guessed

"She loved him to care for him instead of wishing her own good" I pointed out

"I want... I want her ornament back" Autumn's face darkened and closed his fist

"Then, get it from her," the Master said which made Autumn lift his head

"Will you take it away even if I love this so much?" Rain suddenly appeared

Autumn cried, for the very first time I saw him. He cried for her, then maybe I am right. Rain ran into Autumn's arm and they both cried.

"You're not at fault after all" Heat said and smiled at me

"Master" I greeted

"You don't have to cry anymore. You don't need to hide from us. You did nothing wrong. If you saw Autumn punished Life, it is because he just hated how Life's way of motivation using you and Leaf. He noticed it when suddenly Rain changed her way of living. Then he even talked to me. He's afraid to lose Rain, yet scared to chain her too." Heat explained

"Then why Rain suddenly appeared again?" I asked

"Maybe she wishes? A final choice that only a few selected." he guessed

"Wind!! Wind!! You can go down! Let's celebrate! Rain won't leave this place anymore!" Life shouted while Leaf waved

Autumn and Rain smiled in my direction. Is it okay if I create friends here? Will they care for me now? Papa Bear returned into his human form and Heat helped me go down. He pulled me to everyone's place and they hugged me.

"This celebration is for the success of Wind's plan and Rain's coronation as the Lady of Fall! Cheers!" Heat shouted

We had some fun and I laughed with them. Is this the feeling of having friends? I can't believe I will experience it here. I think I'm loving this place even more.
