[RUKIYA]

"I know, Adolf. And I also know you have your suspicions about me and Awuor. Trust me, I want to prove they are wrong more than anything else. But if they are right Adolf, will that change our friendship?" Rukiya asked Adolf, even though she was still staring at the lake.

It was like she was scared of his answer.

Adolf looked at Rukiya, who was letting her guard down with him, and he knew she needed her friend and not her beta. He could tell that from the way Rukiya was adamant about not looking at him.

Granted, whatever he said wouldn't affect Rukiya's next moves, but she hoped that she would be having someone who cared about her, by her side when she went after Awuor. It was a mission she wouldn't be able to do alone, and she knew she would need her friends more than anything.

"No, Rukiya," Adolf said quietly, as he sat on the ground.
