Arriving at Zone 4

After 1 hour of riding the bus we can already see the zone 4 which is very noticeable because the zone 4 is known as a place full of mountains and forests. “Finally we are almost in the zone 4” Atsu said. “Thank god that we’re near because my butt already hurts” Harry added. “The zone 4 is really as beautiful as what they said” Kirth said. “You have never been here Kirth?” Deiru asked. “Yes” Kirth answered. “Don’t worry Kirth now that we are here we will also not forget to visit places, especially that we have Melward here” Deiru said. It is my first time knowing that this is Melward’s hometown so I’m a little surprised. “Ahh right, this is Melward’s hometown after all” Atsu remembered.

“So Melward for today be our tour guide” Deiru said. “You- you guys! Have you forgotten about things here? We still have things to do and aren’t you worried knowing what Chris said” Melward complaint. “Laughs* Melward in worst case if we die next week it would be better if we had enjoyed this week” Harry said. “Yeah and it is Kirth’s first visit here so don’t be stingy” Atsu added. “Stop talking about dying don’t you have faith in Chris? He said that we had gathered all we needed” Kirth said. “Anyway we are here to do things so don’t worry about me and let’s go to do things” Kirth told me. “No need to rush things there is still time and we can do it tomorrow anyways” I said. “Alright let’s go” Atsu said. “Wait if we’re doing things tomorrow, where are we gonna stay the night?” Melward asked. We all looked at Melward with an expression saying wait, what! “Isn’t it obvious Melward? This is your hometown after all so we will be staying at your house” Deiru answered. “Yeah” everybody said, “but-” melward is about to explain but interrupted. “No buts after all we are friends right?” Kirth said. “What I mean is my house has only 1 double bed and 1 single bed so everyone can’t sleep at the bed” Melward explained. “Is that even a problem? Then we will sleep at the floor” Atsu said. “Come on let’s go” Atsu said then pushed us.

We went at Melward’s house at 5:00 pm after visiting most of the places nearby. The place is located near the market and is not so big but is already one of the biggest houses in the area. When we got inside we noticed that the house is quite and it looks like no one is around. Melward turned on the light and we saw that no one is really around. “Where is your parents Melward?” Kirth asked. I noticed that Atsu elbowed Kirth. “Why?” Kirth asked. “Actually Melward’s parents died 3 years ago that is why Melward transferred to zone 3 which is our zone,to forget his past” Deiru seriously answered. “So that is why Melward is scared because he don’t want to end up like his parents” Harry concluded. ‘So that’s why he betrayed us in the past huh’ I thought. “I’m sorry Melward” Kirth apologized. “You don’t need to be after all you didn’t know. You and I have only become friends 2 years ago and I don’t want to talk about past so it is not your fault” Melward replied. I couldn’t say anything so I only tapped Melward’s back. “Anyway feel at home” Melward said and went upstairs. After that everybody went silent. Then Atsu breaks the silence and said “I’ll go outside to buy food for dinner”.

We finished eating and talk about the past. When it is already 9:00 pm, I reminded them to go to sleep because we will still travel to the exact spot and do things. We all have agreed and got to sleep.
