★FORGET ME★
“Starr!” Lotus shouted instantly, pushing Martin away from herself.
She left the pool and ran to Starr who’s now lying unconscious on the ground.
“Starr!, Starr wake up!” She yelled fearfully, feeling his heartbeats.
He’s still breathing so she made to carry him in her arms but Martin intervened.
“I’ll do it” he said, carrying him instead.
He took him into the house and dropped him on Lotus’s bed.
“His temperature is hot” Lotus said, feeling it.
“What are you gonna do?” Martin asked.
“I need to cool it and bring it back to normal, I should lay beside him and share my coldness with him” she replied and made to lay beside him but Martin stopped her.
“We can devise another means Lotus” he said.
“He might die!, He’s just a weak human who’s unlucky to be the soulmate of a wretched mermaid like me, I must do all I can to save him” she replied and lay beside Starr, wrapping her arms around him .
Martin turned his back on them instantly.
“My father told me you’re my bride” he said.
“He must be mistaken, I’m not your bride per say, you were reborn so I’d have a choice, Starr will die if I choose him because he’s a human, you’re a nonhuman and that’s why we met, if I choose you, goddess said I’ll be free from my cruel fate” she replied.
“So…what are you gonna do?” Martin asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t want to lose Starr” she replied, looking at Starr’s unconscious face.
“So…you both have been dating, no one knew” he said.
“We had to keep it for some reasons best known to him” Lotus replied and Martin sighed.
“This is the trickiest fate I’ve ever seen…no it’s actually crazy, how can I be reborn as a second choice, why can’t I be the first choice!, Why did they have to make Starr the first choice when the deities know he’ll die if you choose him!, Why are they being nosy and inconsiderate!” Martin said painfully.
When Lotus sensed Starr has received much coolness, she stood from beside him.
“What do you…mean?” She asked.
“Do I really need to say it to your face before you know I’m also in love with you?, I love you Lotus!, I fell for you and…. I’ve been holding myself back because I didn’t want to be too forward, now I’m regretting it” he replied and faced her.
“Martin…
“Goodbye” he said and made to leave but she held him.
“What?” He asked, looking at the contact.
“Even if Starr wants me to choose him, I can’t” she said.
“Then?” He asked.
“I won’t really be able to forgive myself if he dies because of me, I won’t be able to” she said quickly.
“So?” He said hopefully.
“Don’t go yet” she replied.

TASHA’S PLACE≈8PM
Bluey has almost got tired of waiting, he was able to make noodles thought he doesn’t know if it’ll be delicious to her taste but he’s impatiently waiting for her to come back so they’ll eat together.
The hot pot gave his palms so much burns and right now his hands are full of burns but he’s quite proud of himself.
He made edible noodles.
He looked at the time again and got more impatient.
He walked out of the house and peeped outside, checking maybe she’s on her way back already but she’s not coming yet.
He pouted and was about to go back in when he heard two neighbors conversing down the balcony.
“The girl who lives in the rooftop room, that highschool girl!” The first one said.
Bluey listened attentively.
“Tasha?” The second one said.
“Yes!, It’s her!, She got into an accident down the road, it was so fatal”
“What!”
“Yes, she was crossing the road on her way home when a car ran into her, the car sped off immediately it hit her”
Bluey didn’t bother to wear his slip-ons, he rushed down the stairs, rushing past the two women.
“Natasha please…. don’t do this, don’t” he thought as he ran fast .
A large crowd is there already when he got there, he made his way into the middle of the crowd and his eyes widened.
His heart flew out of his chest immediately.
Tasha is lying down in the pool of her own blood, blood oozing out of her mouth and head.
“Natasha!” He screamed, rushing to her.
He sat on the ground and her blood stained his clothes as he placed her head on his laps.
His tears fell in torrents.
“Nata…. Natasha…..look at me” he said, his whole body shaking.
Natasha hiccupped painfully, her eyes shutting slowly.
“Natasha!!!!” He screamed tearfully.
“I….I’m….I…. don’t…. want to…die” Natasha said with the remaining breath in her and her eyes closed completely.
“Someone call an ambulance!!!, Ambulance!!!!” He screamed.
The crowd started parting ways and chairman Kings appeared with his guards immediately.
“Get him” he ordered.
Bluey was grabbed and forced to stand but he pushed all the guards away from himself stubbornly.
“Don’t touch me!, Don’t touch me!!”
“Take him!” Chairman ordered again and he was grabbed more strongly.
“Natasha!, Natasha!!” He shouted, looking back as he was taken forcefully into the car.
“Natasha!!!!!!”
