This is Zee's flashback meeting Karan the day after Zee was pronounced dead.
****
"Zaline?" karan said in shock.
The girl before him just looked at Karan with a calm look, "Gue Zee, not Zaline."
Karan came down from his tree house, and approached the girl he missed so much, "How is it possible? It's Zaline. Not you-"
"Yes, Zaline's dead," cut the girl.
Karan was surprised, then chuckled, "You're not funny."
"Gue's not kidding anymore."
Karan looked at Zee with an astonished look, "You mean?"
Zee breathed heavily, "can we go up there?"
Zee pointed towards Karan's tree house. Half-confused, Karan nods and invites Zee to his tree house.
"Where did you find a place this good?" ask Zee when she gets to the tree house.
"Come alone," said Karan casually.
Zee looked around. Many photos of him in candid photos whether it is eating, laughing on the canteen, falling asleep, and much more.
"Lo photoin me diem-diem?" ask Zee stabbing.
Karan gave his trademark grin, "Sorry.." he was aware of his impolite mistake of photographing people secretly.
Zee smiled, then put his hand in front of Karan's face. Karan was confused.
"Well?"
"Ask you a HP?"
"Make what?"
"Here!"
Karan resigned, he took out his HP which cost not up to a quarter of the price of Zee's HP.
Zee snatches it from Karan's hand, and presses the camera icon.
Zee hands her back to Karan, "Im not polite, motoin the diem-diem guy. I was ugly in that photo. Here, I'm back," exclaimed Zee who increasingly confused Karan.
"You sick?"
"No."
"Keep me why?"
"Why how?" ask Zee back.
"Why are you acting like this? You're usually cold, stiff, antisocial"
"Lo said I'm anti-social?" Zee flicked Karan's forehead, making Karan grimace softly, "Read! There's an anti-social elo!"
"But why are you like this?"
"How is this?"
Karan sighed heavily, "Not so!"
Zee smiled slightly. He understands Karan's confusion. Zee has to explain, this is for Zaline's sake.
Zee took out a clear glass bottle whose mouth was chopped by wood, inside which was a neatly rolled piece of paper with a red ribbon tied.
Zee handed it to Karan.
"What's this?"
Zee smiled slightly, it seemed like he was smiling a lot today. I don't know what that smile means, "Read it."
Karan. He opened the wooden lid, and took the paper out of it.
Zee only noticed Karan's activity with a slight restraint of tears.
Karan untied the ribbon, and opened the paper scroll in which there were poetry verses.
"Please bacain hard," said Zee.
Karan turned towards Zee, then nodded.
I look into your eyes from a distance.
Even though you see, though,
Just another object.
I read every verse of your beautiful poem.
Tells the good memories of childhood.
When eyes can only look at you smiling.
When the mouth is unable to speak.
When the ears can only hear you laugh.
Even though I don't know what to do.
The sun is not shining.
That's the real me.
Ilove you...
Can't I say that?
A word I find difficult to say.
The word that should come out of these lips.
But, it can only be harbored in the heart.
Makes a deep sense of tightness.
If these eyes are closed,
If this mouth is locked, then,
I beg you, please,
Don't forget this sunsets.
KLMNS. Thank you for your poem.
- Zaline, your little friend
Karan reflexly looked at Zee with a frown.
While Zee, on her cheeks were already covered in tears.
"What does all this mean?"
Zee took a deep breath, he tried to explain to Karan slowly, "Gue Zeline, Zaline's Twins."
"Z...The zeline? Zee you mean?"
Zee nodded slowly.
Karan's body is squeezing. So all this time he was sending the wrong poem?
"No. You're not wrong to send a poem," Zee said suddenly, like you know what Karan thinks, "Zaline always picks it up early in the morning after you drop your poem under my desk. That's why I never knew you were writing poetry."
"Then where's Zaline?"
"Go."
"Go?" reload Karan did not understand.
"Zaline replaced me at the war yesterday."
"What?!"
"All my fault! I should have been more determined to stop him! I should have died. I should! Not Zaline!" Zee returned to drain the tears.
If you're wondering, Zee died or not.
Of course Zee felt half his soul was dead. The pain Zaline suffered, was also felt by Zee. Vice versa. This is because of brotherhood.
Fate told him to stay alive.
Zaline can change destiny!
Karan looked at Zee with a look of disbelief, his pleasure seeing Zee fade. He thinks Zee is the real Zaline.
So all this time he was wrong?
His eyes were blind only from seeing the physical.
Idiotically.
Karan realizes his mistake, he is too blind.
Karan has hurt Zaline. When Zaline looked at him, she looked at Zee.
That's what the poem explained.
"Sorry..."
****
Ansell walked towards Zee.
"Udah?"
Slowly Zee nodded.
"Don't be sad anymore. I don't like it! Zaline will also be sad if you squirm like this!"
Zee didn't answer. Empty look. He remembered Zaline's message before she went down to the meeting.
"Please leave this to Karan," Zaline handed him a bottle with paper inside.
"Kara? Karan who?"
"Just have to find! I want to make effort! Be careful if not loved," threatened Zaline with a laugh. The last laugh Zee saw.
"Iye iye, bring it."
"Let me turn you into that war" Zaline said suddenly after a long silence.
Ansell and Zee looked at Zaline in shock.
"Gue wants to prove that fate can be changed!" said Zaline steadily.
"Lo can't change destiny!"
"Gue can! Everything that happened was because of me! If you don't get kicked out, you won't be in this dangerous world! You're still the plain Zeline I know!" snapped Zaline.
Zee looked at Zaline in disbelief.
Zaline clasped Zee's hand tightly, "Trust me the same. Use your imagination, in that dream, it was me. Not Zeline."
"Please keep momy the same dad. Bang Dito, Bng Dika.." - Og Zaline.
"Don't say that! That's my job, none of this has anything to do with you. So please don't talk about acting like tomorrow you're not here!" Zee. He doesn't like his twin saying that.
Zaline smiled faintly, "the core should be me replacing lo."
"Don't wait anymore!" reprimand Ansell, disperse Zee's reverie.
"Gee! Just ngagetin!" pissed Zee pursed his lips.
"Yuk streets? Let lo hepi!" take Ansell with a smile.
"Mager ah."
"Udah is ayoo. I'll take the deal," persuaded Ansell.
"Yes?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Yes, ayoo!"
Zee must be able to close the heartbreaking story, and return to the original Zee. As per Zaline request.
"May be happy..."
That instant also the star flickered spoiled at him. Zaline slumped from up there.
