Chapter 13

"Some of these things are true and some of them are lies. But it all has a reason."
____________________________________
  
Everyone is resting here in the hospice because they will continue their cleaning later. 
 
Nicole looked at Jasper, who had been poking her side.
 
"Jasper, what?!" She whispered loudly here. Jasper approached Nicole and he whispered something.
 
 "Look at them, Haru and Arche. They've been like that before entering here."
She looked at what Jasper was saying and here, she saw Haru talking and laughing at Arche. Nicole smiled at what she saw because only now did she see that Haru was so happy. The smiles that she has nothing to hide from himself and the happiness that she does not force himself to do. 
 
"What do you think is they have a relationship between the two, babe?" Nicole  scolded her boyfriend because of his question.
 
"Please welcome the one and only famous writer whom we almost all know, nothing else other than Ms. Carmen Fuentes!" 
 
They all immediately turned their attention to the TV at the hospice. They were all watching when they heard the name of Nicole's cousin, and here they saw the big smile of Carmen and she waving her hand at the camera.
 
"What do you want to say to your supporters, Ms. Carmen?"
Nicole looked at her colleagues and saw that they were all focused on Carmen’s interview. She turned her eyes to Haru, and she saw Haru silently watching  at the T. V screen. 
 
If Haru had been brave, she would have been on TV and everyone was watching her, but no because Nicole's cousin was there.
 
"I want to say to all my supporters, please support my new book. As they support me in my previously published books." Carmen said in the interview.
 
"She has a new book released today? Why didn't I know?" Arche suddenly said. Nicole looked at Haru and she saw Haru staring at Arche sadly and quietly.
 
"In your new book of My Last Breath and your previous story, My Life Is Miserable. What is the difference between them?" The interviewer asked to Carmen. 
"Different? Hmmm, if I say in front of the camera, the people who haven't read it yet, I think they can't read it now." Carmen laughed for a moment and continued speaking.
"Honestly, I can't say what makes them different." 
 
"Her books was published It's all nice! I read the story of My Life is miserable, almost all of her stories, only the new book. I didn't read it because  I didn't  know that she have released a new story."
 
"You're so noisy, Arche! Just turn off the TV and then just tell the whole story! Bro, be quiet there, is that a clear, trouble maker?" Jasper said to Arche and their companions laughed, except for Haru, who suddenly spoke.
"The only difference between the two is that they are very simple. In this story of my life is miserable, Her life are without happiness, she would rather disappear from the world she live in. Because she will not experience of joy. She experiences sadness, pain, and frustration. Because of that story, she doesn’t experience being a normal person. No friends, no sympathy, no loving family, and so on. And the story of my last breath, no matter how hard she tries to hide the truth and no matter how hard she tries to fight it, nothing will change. Because they will know and will also know the truth, and when she disappear from the world she live in, the secret she had was still a mystery to all the people she left in the world. Why she hid everything and kept the secrets she had." 
 
"I thought you hadn't read her stories yet, Haru?" Arche asked Haru.
 
Nicole stared at Haru again, and she hoped she might tell the truth.
"Not," she said. Arche would have spoken when they heard the question again in Carmen's interview, so almost everyone was focused on it again.
 
"Ms. Carmen, this question is most people's waiting for. Why did you put the title, My Last breath? And behind this story, what is the content? Many people ask if it happened in your life or other people's lives. " 
 
They noticed that Carmen seemed to have not answered the question.
 
"Hmmm... "
 
"Our very famous author of My Last Breath seems nervous, so please just please stay here because the live talk show will be back!"
They were all shocked when Haru suddenly stood up and hurried to run out of the hospice. Arche would have followed her, but Nicole stopped him. Minutes passed when the interview with Carmen came back, but until now, Haru had not been able to come back.
 
"My last breath is the story of a woman who went through a lot of experiences until she never thought she would be lost in the world she dreamed of. She had many unfulfilled wishes. I only thought of that title because of what I watched. In the My last breath, the secret is still hidden that only the person who dies knows."
 
The interview ended and they all talked about Carmen. Arche led the way because he idolizes the famous writer. Nicole got up from her seat and quietly went outside to look for Haru. As she searched, she saw it standing in a tree on the edge of the hospice.
 
"Haru!" Nicole immediately saw Haru and approached her.
 
"Who are you calling?" Nicole asked here.
 
"Carmen." 
 
"Don't tell me, you came out earlier to help Carmen?"
"Let's talk later. I need to talk to Carmen," Haru said, and she gestured to Nicole to be quiet because Carmen had already answered her call.
 
[Haru, thank you!] Carmen said on the other line right away. 
 
If she's happy with what Haru did, Haru isn't because she feels upset right now.
"Carmen! We already talked about this, right?! What happens to the stories you're releasing. I should know it first! You should tell me first! I should be the first to know! But why is that?! Why?"
 
[H-Haru it was sudden,]
 
"Sudden? Last time, it was suddenly too, right? But you told me! If I hadn't watched your interview, you would already be embarrassed in front of all the people! What can you answer there?! I don't know because I'm not the one who wrote the stories I published and I don't read them. As long as I just published it, it's okay, and as long as people recognize me, I'm the one who wrote the stories, it's okay for me. Is that how you answer, huh Carmen?! Is that so?"
 
"Haru, calm down," Nicole said, but Haru ignored her.
 
[H-haru,]
 
"You're always calling my name when you do something wrong!" Haru stopped speaking when they heard a noise from behind them. 
 
"Y-you're the real w-writer of Carmen's stories?"
 
"J-jasper I'll e-explain." Nicole stammered to Jasper, while Haru was suddenly nervous.
 
"I thought you trusted me, Nicole?! How can I help you if you haven't told me anything about Haru yet?" Jasper shouted. 
 
Haru knew that  Jasper was knew something about her, but what he said was how he would help Nicole. She couldn't understand what it was Jasper was about to say. Jasper walking  back to hospice but Haru immediately chased him and held his arms.
"J-jasper, whatever you heard, please don't tell anyone. We'll explain everything to you. I'm begging you, Jasper." She begged for it. Jasper just nodded and removed Haru's hand on his arm, and walked away from them. Nicole approached Haru and wiped away her tears that Haru didn't realize were already dripping.
 
"I know him, Haru. He won't tell to others  what he heard," She said to Haru and helped her to stand up and they entered the hospice.
Hopefully, because I don’t know what will happen if he tells to others, especially to Arche, about what he knows that he heard earlier. I'm not ready for what might happen yet. Haru said in her mind.
