198 Piggyback Ride (1/2)

*Scy's POV*

It's been a couple of minutes since the chopper started flying. I can't decide if I want to go or not but Mari insisted that I should go with them. Petula really is a piece of work. When we go back to the guild, get ready to prepare for the scolding of your life. Also, why on earth are we riding a chopper?!

”So how do you know each other?” Mari asked so suddenly. I thought the loud noise of the chopper would help me avoid the topic but... we're using headphones.

”I just met him in the game and we became friends, nothing special,” Thankfully, Petula already knows what is going on after what I did a while ago.

”Oh, I thought you're his girlfriend. Sis said messing around. Not in a million years Mari.

”We'll get there, sister-in-law.” Then she winked at me... girls teasing around is the worst.

”My brother might be a bit introvert but believe me, he's a good guy. Compared to me, he still has a lot of practice to do with his cooking but you know, he's a guy.” Ha...ha...

They talked for a while now but I heard on the news that the party is in the middle of the city but we are not in the right direction.

”Hey, Petula. I thought we're going to the party? Then why are we going to another way?” I asked.

”We're going to fetch Zia. I found her data and it seems she's a disabled girl. I can't believe it at first but I guess she's like my sister. They both have diseases that even the best doctors can't cure.” Oh... I didn't know.

”What? That's so sad. By the way, my brother also got diagnosed with a disease that also can't be cured. It was after his accident.” Mari, please don't say it's me being an idiot...

”I thought I was in a coma because of the accident?” This is the first time I heard about this news.

”Doctors said that you will never wake up because you have an incurable disease that paralyzed your whole body. That's why after three years, I can't believe that you woke up. It's actually a miracle, really.” Wait, what?!

”Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? Why just now?” I asked. I'm a bit startled of what I just discovered.

”I'm sorry, bro. I don't want to open it up again because it only reminds us of what happened not only to us but also to our parents.” She's right. I don't know what happened but I'm ok now with my sister. It explains a lot why after I wake up, I can't feel a thing... even sadness.

”Hey, guys. Are you telling me that Aries got cured of his sickness? Maybe they can help my sister?!” Petula blurted out.

”I don't think so. They told me that after several tests. Those doctors still can't figure out what on earth happened. Why he woke up. I also heard that they're not even sure if my brother still has the disease or not.” It looks like both of them calmed down after hearing Mari's explanation. Why are we getting so serious all of a sudden? There will be a party after this too. Azzie, on the other hand, is just taking a nap... inside a flying vehicle.

We talked about that for a while and I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I'm alive. Still... somehow, this reminds me of the girl I met at the tomb of the Frozen King. It felt like she knew me or she was watching me...

-Hospital-

We arrived at the hospital. It's kind of far from our house. I hope we don't disturb the patients because of the loud noise of the chopper. We got off the Chopper and went inside the hospital.

The hospital doesn't look that big and it's really away from the city, a good place to get away from pollution and noise. The restful and peaceful place is the best for sick people after all.

I just followed Petula like she knows where to go... I guess she even knows everything about us... Where is she getting all of this info! We arrived in front of a door of one of the rooms. I guess this is the room of Zia.

*KNOCK KNOCK* Petula knocked on the door but we didn't hear an answer for a while.

”Pizza delivery!” She exclaimed after knocking again. I don't think anyone would be fooled by that.

*Opens* Then suddenly, it opened and a girl opened the door.

”Where's the pizza?!” The girl asked really quickly and looked at us like she's scanning for something.

Then she stopped for a bit then tried to close the door but Petula was able to block the door with her body...

”Hey stop! Don't close the door!” She insisted... I guess I already know who the girl at the door is... She's the only girl I know who loves pizza so badly.

”Miss Aurora. I'm Petula, one of Zia's friends. Could you let us in please?” Petula... jeez...

”Oh... I'm sorry. Azzie? Mari? Why are you here?” Aurora was able to recognize both of them. Aurora's a friend of their guild after all.

”We heard that we are going to a party of some sort and there will be a lot of foods so you know,” Mari replied as both of their faces lighten up.

”Really?! Can I come?!” Really? You were baited by foods?

”It's my party. If you let us in, then I will do the same for you later on.” Petula replied.
