Clara woke up in a room, her eyes looked around the room where the lighting was minimal, then Clara's eyes saw the wounds on her body that had been treated.
Clara began to remember the last time, she only remembered if she had been attacked by a stranger until her car hit a tree and someone had knocked her unconscious.
Clara began to rise from the bed, she was looking for sharp objects to protect herself because it could be that the person who brought her to this place was her enemy.
"You're awake..." Say someone.
Clara looked at the man before her, the man wearing army clothes. Then Clara's hand immediately released the weapon in her hand, slowly Clara's tears flowed just like that.
"Je. je..." Said Clara with teary eyes.
Nicholas smiled at Clara, Clara could only silently grin. "The general..." Clara said as she continued to cry and did not dare to approach Nicholas.
Then Nicholas walked over to Clara, "I'm sorry... The general..." Said Clara with teary eyes.
His face could not hide his sadness anymore, and Nicholas immediately hugged Clara.
"Lilk... Why are you still doing that?" Ask Nicholas.
Clara who heard the words of her Master immediately looked at Nicholas, the man's face was hurt on the cheek.
"Master face? Why is it like this?" Ask Clara.
"It's okay, why are you still doing that?" Ask Nicholas.
"Do what, General?" Ask Clara.
"Why are you still killing? Why are you still committing crimes like you used to?" Nicholas asked who began to release his embrace from Clara.
"But didn't we always do that? Didn't I always kill people to protect you and you never get angry? Then if I don't do that, what should I do?" Ask Clara who still doesn't know where her life is going.
"Live happily Lyli." Nicholas.
"Happy? What is happiness like? The words you spoke from before are very foreign to me. I don't understand.." Clara answered with a confused face.
Nicholas was silent with a sad face, his eyes staring softly at Clara.
"General, where have you been all this time? So you haven't died in all this time?" Ask Clara with a hopeful face.
But Nicholas was silent and did not answer Clara's question, "General..." Call Clara again.
"Don't call me General anymore, I'm not a general... And I'm not your master anymore." Answer Nicholas.
"But you're still my master." Answer Clara.
"No, Lyli... Stop being that figure, now that you're free... Live happily, never hurt anyone again.. Never kill again.." Nicholas.
"Why?" The land of Lyli was like a disappointment.
"Because I love you... I don't want to see my loved ones trapped in the dark." Answer Nicholas.
But Clara just kept quiet and came back crying, "What you said General, I don't understand.. All the words you said before and now I don't understand.. What do I love you? What does that mean?" Ask Clara and cry.
Nicholas who saw it could only be silent and look at Clara, then Nicholas caressed Clara's face with his teary eyes and slowly shed tears.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I made you like this, sorry..." Nicholas felt guilty.
But Clara still doesn't understand why the general apologized.
Then Nicholas hugged Clara again, he desperately wanted to let go of the longing in his heart.
"General.. Are you never going to leave again?" Ask Clara who was in Nicholas' arms.
But Nicholas was silent and did not answer Clara's questions. "The general... If you go, take me with you.." Follow Clara who suddenly falls asleep in Nicholas' arms.
Nicholas could only sit on the floor with his hands still hugging Clara, the guilt in his heart continuing to haunt Nicholas to this day. He had turned a little girl into a killing machine and it was a great crime that Nicholas had committed.
Slowly Nicholas kissed Clara's lips, even though Clara was asleep. Nicholas remains happy that he can meet Clara again.

Clara woke up in a room, her eyes looking around her place and she was in the hospital.
"What's going on?" Clara was confused.
"General? Where's General..." Ask Clara who started looking for the whereabouts of her Master.
But suddenly a nurse came over to Clara, "Miss should rest first." Said the nurse.
"Sus, where's the General?" Ask Clara.
"Sorry Miss, I don't understand.." Answer the Nurse.
"Who brought me here?" Clara asked because as she remembered, she was with the General.
"Miss is carried by the ambulance, and it's the people who find you when you have an accident." Answer the nurse.
"Serious nurse?" Ask Clara who is still unsure.
"Yes Miss." The answer.
"What time am I here?" Ask Clara.
"Around night, when you have an accident. You were brought here." Answer the nurse.
After getting that information, Clara immediately told the nurse to leave because she wanted to rest.
Clara began to cry, she was like a fool who could not tell the difference between reality and dreams.
But her encounter with Nicholas was real and even Clara could still feel the embrace the man gave her.
If only it was a dream Clara desperately wanted to be in the dream, she did not want to part with the person who became the purpose of her life. The one who gave her a beautiful name.
