Chapter 68 - The Light

The sudden darkness made Queen startled and screamed for Nick at this time.

"Nick!" Calls Queen in a panic, but Nick knows that light will come when Queen is scared, and that's why he turns off the lights in the room.

"Nick!" Call the Queen again,

"Shut up there!" Nick snapped at Queen, and it was certainly a surprise for Queen.

"Nick..."

"I said Shut up!! I'll kill you if you don't shut up!" That's the threat that Nick made to Queen, and made Queen surprised and cried. She felt strange about his brother's attitude that day, while Nick did it on purpose to see if he really was a light bender or not.

"Why did you say that??"

"Shut up!!!"

BRAK!!

"KYA!!"

Nick purposely dropped the books on the table beside him and yelled at Queen, to scare her even more, and the thing he had been waiting for finally came, which surprised both Nick and Queen at the time.

…

Brak!!! 

"KYAAA!!"

Nick could only apologize in his heart when he pretended to scold Queen to make her feel scared that night, but something Nick didn't expect at that time happened and surprised not only Nick but also Queen.

The tiny bits of light appeared around Queen who was now crying in front of Nick at that time, and what Nick didn't know after that was that the light sent a very stinging heat when they invaded Nick's body, which is the cause of Queen crying at that time.

Nick, who was in pain and panicked, shouted, "AAAKHH… Sorry, Sorry!" Nick said to Queen. Nick even immediately turned the light back on by pressing the switch on the wall, so the light didn't come rushing at him. But in reality, it was in vain, the light still clung to his body like dust clinging to something wet. The light of course hurt the surface of Nick's skin because of the heat he felt from the thousands of stinging lights.

Because he was so desperate with the pain he finally asked his sister to stop it all, "Queen! Do something, please stop them!" Nick said to Queen who also felt surprised when she saw the lights. She saw how the thousands of lights rushed at his brother who now looked in pain.

Queen also felt confused about what she should do at this time, "What should I do?!" Queen asked Nick in confusion and looked to his left and right for something he could use to get rid of the strange lights.

"Whatever! Do whatever, or tell them not to hurt me, it hurts so much!" Nick said to Queen who stopped looking and looked at her brother full of questions about the proposal that was given to her. But Queen, who didn't know what to do, chose to try Nick's strange suggestion, she said, "Stop it! Don't hurt Nick!" Said Queen who shouted at the lights.

What happened next was enough to take Queen by surprise, because what he had just done had worked. The lights slowly dimmed and disappeared from before the two of them. Of course, this surprised Queen, who knew nothing, and Nick, who did know, was still surprised to realize that his guess was right.

Nick exhaled and saw the red, rash on his hands. As if he had just been stung by the heat of the sun when he wasn't using sunscreen. And the heat caused a painful and stinging effect on his skin.

"Nick what happened?? Why is there light hurting you like that?!" Queen also questioned Nick, who now turned to her and then explained all of this in detail to his sister.

"Hh... Okay, Queen. There is something you should know and it is very important! Come on, sit down first and let's talk about this slowly!" Take Nick to Queen who is now frowning, seeing the change in attitude from his brother who was previously angry at him, but look now... Nick returns to the previous Nick, which of course raises a big question in Queen's head.

Queen walked over and sat on the long sofa in Nick's study. While Nick walked over to the table and grabbed a box to finally come over to Queen and sat beside her.

"Do you remember the first time I met you?" Nick asked Queen who was now frowning and smiling, nodding in response to the question.

"Yes! I remember that!" Queen answered happily, smiling at Nick who now returned the smile.

Nick then continued his words, "Do you remember, you wore this pin on your shirt at that time?" Nick asked again as he opened a box and took out a beautiful Pin that Queen recognized very well.

The woman nodded back at him and said, "Sister said that this must be my mother's!" Queen explained to Nick who now nodded his head slowly in response to Queen's words.

"Now I want to ask, do you remember you once told me that you were always accompanied by light when you were scared?" The next question that was uttered by Nick at that time, made Queen frown and try to remember the memory until finally Queen remembered it and realized if she had said that.

"Yes! I ever said anything like that to you, Nick!" Queen replied who was surprised by what she had just remembered, which again made Nick nod his head, confirming this.

"And you just did that too didn't you?" Nick asked the silent Queen again and nodded hesitantly in response to the question this time.

"Y-yeah… I did that earlier too! Did I really do it?" Asked Queen who frowned and felt strange about all this while looking at Nick. The man who had become the older brother among them also noticed Queen's confusion and immediately calmed his younger sister by holding his shoulder and explaining everything slowly.

"Listen, Queen! I'm the same as you!" Nick said to Queen who was now even more confused by Nick's confession.

"What?!" Asked the Queen who was surprised and confused by what her brother had said to her. It also makes Nick want to prove to Queen and stare at a glass on the table. He moved his hand slowly, which then made all the water in the glass float from its place and followed Nick's hand movement which sent the water around Queen's body before he finally returned the water to the glass. Queen was silent in shock at what had just happened.

"..." Queen was silent, she was stunned after seeing the strange things that happened in front of him at that time, but that didn't stop Nick from explaining everything to Queen.

"You and I… We are both one of the twelve stars that fell nineteen years ago!" Nick said to Queen who was now stunned for a moment after hearing it, who then finally chuckled in response to Nick's explanation at that time.

"Khkh… Nick, are you crazy?! You and I are like everyone else, we are human! How can you say that we are twelve fallen stars?!" Said Queen. Only this time she did not believe everything Nick said to him. But Nick did not just give up and continued to explain and convince Queen. He took the notebook from his father and gave the book to the Queen so that she read directly what had been written in it.

"I didn't believe it at first, but that's the truth Queen! Read it, and I will believe!" Nick said to Queen, handing her the book. But Queen immediately threw the book away and shook her head quickly.

"No! Why would I believe such a crazy thing, Nick?! What trick did you give in this room to make you act weird to me today?!" Queen asked Nick. Queen thinks that Nick is playing a prank on her right now, and she feels that everything Nick said is impossible. It's too crazy for her.

Queen went from Nick's office immediately, she walked down the stairs in her house and ran to the back garden which was pitch black, she felt angry and didn't want to believe all the tricks Nick gave her.

"A falling star?! Huh!! Why should I believe it?!" Queen muttered in annoyance. She felt angry, but she also became sad because she just realized that she had yelled at his brother. Whether it was because of Nick's trick or the conversation from his two friends at the time that made Queen object and try to get rid of him so that she acted like that to his brother, she didn't know his feelings clearly.

"Hh… hhh…" Queen's breath was hoarse from running earlier. However, when his gaze stared at the light bulbs that had returned to their surroundings, Queen was taken aback. She also realized that she was actually being followed by the lights.

Suddenly a memory invaded him at that time that seemed like a memory that had been lost and now came back at the right time.
