15. Friend's Heart

Randy stared gawk at the sign above the door of the room.

A word morgue froze him till he lost his mind. 'What has happened to me?!' He said in his heart.

However, the people around him did not answer at all.

All they did was stare silently at him.

The doctor brave himself to check the condition of Randy who was still in his mother's arms.

He checked the pulse on the boy's hand and continued checking his body temperature. "Your child's temperature is still cold, but his veins have returned." The doctor said with an incredulous look.

"Really?! Thank God... I didn't lose you... I really relieved...!" Randy's mother hugged him tightly.

A confused Randy opens his mouth weakly. "What happened?" He turned his gaze towards the group of his friends, even the student council came to see him.

No one dared to answer, the only one who opened his voice was Ilham.

He slowly scratched his hair with an unpleasant smile. "How do I say this... You were already dead. And it's been more than 3 hours since you were dead, you're back walking in front of us like a zombie..." Bad feeling with him when he said that.

The other visitors could only avert their eyes.

"Dead?!" Randy can't believe what just happened to him.

"Randy, we better to bring you to the inpatient room. Your condition is still weak at this time." The doctor gave him advice.

Randy's mother took off her tearful embrace. She accepted the doctor's suggestion and took him back to the hospital.

"And as for the visitors, you'd better go home because it's late and you guys are still in school, right?" He told the other visitors to go home.

In the inpatient room, Randy was examined by a doctor. Unfortunately, doctors do not have a definite answer to what happened to him. He just concluded that this boy was in apparent death.

Inside Randy, he realized what was happening to him. He was saved by Dalor, now he can not see him for a month to restore his strength. From this moment on, he must move according to his own intuition. He can't be as careless as before. Death will be difficult for those around him.

Elsewhere, Farida and Ilham walked side by side like friends.

"Thank God, Randy is fine... I was so shocked. When I heard about him, I immediately ran to ride my motorcycle and come to the hospital!" Ilham was seen laughing, but his tears could not be hidden.

"Hey... Why are you crying, aren't you a man?" Farida mocked him.

But something surprised her.

"Men can cry too , fool! Who wouldn't be shocked when you accidentally hear that your close friend has died?! Don't you know where the time to joke is?!" Ilham screamed loudly at Farida.

Farida just looked at him with a surprised expression. "I-I did too, after all, I was the one who saw the moments of his death!" Farida let out her tears.

They both looked at each other crying. Farida could not tell the truth. Something is being hidden from him. Something that should not be carelessly told.

"I-it's been late, do you want me to take you home?" Ilham sweep his tears and tried to offer Farida a ride.

Ilham was worried about Farida.

Even though they're just friends, it's wrong to leave a girl alone at night anyway, and it can damage his self-esteem.

"Sorry, my parents are coming. And the longest..." She stared at Celicia who was looking at her intently with her arms crossed. "... I still have a business to finish."

Ilham did not understand what kind of Farida's business is, but because he believed her. Ilham immediately left the hospital without thinking anything about her.

Shortly after Ilham left, Celicia walked closer to Farida. The look on her face was directed towards Farida.

"What's in your brain that you think your own best friend is an enemy?!" Celicia rebuked Farida with annoyance.

Farida could not answer anything. She just bites her own lip until it bled. "I don't know, I reflexively cast my magic outside the Time Fracture and thrust my chain into him." Farida was just stiffly silent and pondered her mistake.

But her word was actually used by one of the subordinates of Celicia to find her fault in the word.

"Ha, Reflex? More like... You're jealous of someone, aren't you?" Windy opened her mouth and a sly smile she directed at Farida.

The three of them stared in disbelief at what Windy had just said.

"Not possib-?!" Farida's voice was cut off by her.

"You suddenly attacked Randy who was with Ira, right? At that time, surely your eyes were filled with chaos and a burning feeling of jealousy... You automatically cast your magic-..." she said softly but provocatively.

"Hey, Windy!" Naura tried to stop Windy, but she wasn't mentally strong.

"After all, you were his friend for a long time. Surely in your heart, there is something like this. 'Why he never see me as a girl, meanwhile, Ira, who had just met, was immediately asked to go out?' " She started to smile while playing with her own hair.

"Windy, shut up!"

Celicia's voice was so firm that even Windy who was babbled all this time accidentally stop her mouth.

"All Right, Celicia..." Even after getting mocked, her smile was still on her face.

Not wanting to drag on, Celicia walked closer to Farida who was frozen silent. Her eyes faced each other with her eternal enemy in the Time Fracture.

Just close a little more maybe they will kiss each other, but that's never to happen.

"If you dare to use your magic to harm people that are unrelated to Time Fracture... Then you know what's gonna happen, right? You will be replaced, even the key inside you will be removed by force by your subordinates..."Celicia reminded her enemy of what happens when they break the law.

Farida only nodded weakly when she heard it.

Seeing that, Celicia moved her face away from Farida and walked backwards towards her ally.

"Let's go home!" Celicia left the hospital with her friend and drove them home.

"If you are still jealous of that, you better not to go out during the next time Fracture. You might even kill another civilian..." Windy is still inexhaustible influence on Farida. But fortunately, it was her last mockery before she left with Celicia.

Farida looked down and see her reflection on the floor of the hospital hallway. She seemed surprised by what she had just done.

Shortly after the Time Fracture ended. Farida with a worried look looking for Hannah who was gone when the transformation of the rice fields into the ocean was end.

The rice fields that had become the sea, have now receded and do not affect anyone who is not Justiciar or Valkyrie.

During a few minutes of searching, she finally found Hannah who was with Ira. She initially wants to attack, but because Farida is aware of how Ira's relationship with Hannah is in her current life, she turned her chain down.

Unfortunately, in an instant, it was gone. She suddenly sees Randy as a threat when the poor boy is approached and hugged by Ira.

There was an unpleasant feeling in her. Something that made her cast magic out of the Time Fracture, and shot the chain right into Randy's heart.

Farida began to wonder what was really going on. Are their strengths not very functional in people who are not part of them(J or V)?

No, that's obviously wrong. Farida clearly remembered how the carelessness of one of her subordinates could lead to the death of her own best friend.

"What was really happening?"

***

Meanwhile, in the car that Celicia and her friends drove.

Celicia's driver asked. "Why, is the funeral canceled?!" He's confused.

"No, the body suddenly woke up," Celicia said that casually.

But the driver was shocked and almost screw his steer. "Back to life?! You mean become a zombie?!" He asked in surprise.

"Yes, you could say so..." Celicia giggled.

"But it's so strange, what really happened to Randy?" Naura held her chin in confusion.

"I don't know, maybe a blessing from the sky..." Windy replied jokingly.

"Tomorrow, let's ask Randy!" Celicia stared intently at the road from the car.

There were many things she wanted to ask to the young man.

"I also want to see how Ira looks when she realizes that her lover is still alive." Naura tried to break the silence.

"Well, we'll look forward to it." Celicia smiled and stared at the back seat that Naura was sitting in.

"She is currently unconscious along with the Justiciar in her room. I hope nothing bad happens to them." Windy let out her sincere smile.

Tomorrow will be a troublesome day for Randy who just woke up after being dead for 3 hours.
