Time passes really quickly, and it was back to school. Lots of celebrities have come by our place. And the living room has been re-furnished and all. So, have Pris's life and mine.
Months had passed, Then it happened.
I got a phone call on my handphone at school. It was my Dad, my real Dad. He told me to take the rest of the day off and go home. There were things that needed a family discussion. I didn't know what was going on, but I did as I was told.
When I got home..
"Daddy, what happened?", I asked him.
"Qiuru, we need to discuss about something.", he told me, and motioned for me to sit down. Yanru and Shiru were also there. I looked at them, and shook their heads. They had no idea too.
"Your Mum and I had decided to migrate to Australia.", my Dad announced.
"WHAT?!", me and my sisters shouted.
"And we want you three to come along.", he continued.
"WHAT?!", we shouted again.
"We decided on it because living here is just too expensive. And also, Yanru and Shiru can go over there to for their university.", Mum explained.
"NO!", Yanru was the first to disagree.
"Me neither..", Shiru said. I shook my head.
"But I thought you girls will be happy?", Dad asked.
"Daddy, we are. But we are also sad at the same time. Because, we will miss our friends. And what about me? I will miss Mr and Mrs Ridges and Priscilla. And I've yet to finish my diploma. Daddy, I can't leave just yet.", I explained.
"Its the same for us. Even though we know that we can skip our 'A' levels and take the SAT. But we've got friends here too. And we just can't leave yet.", Yanru said.
"I tell you girls what.. Why not you think about it before giving me your answers. If you really don't want to go, its okie. We would understand. But we will go on our own." Mum said.
And that was the end of the discussion, and I went back to the Ridges Manor.
When I got back, Ben greeted me and I just walked right into the kitchen. I dumped my bag and stuff on the floor, sat at the counter and laid on the table. I didn't notice who was in the kitchen.
"Hi..", I sounded dead, not looking up.
"Qiuru, what happened?", Pris asked, coming to sit beside me.
"Nothing, as yet.", I said, still sounding dead.
"Well, whatever it is, it can wait. Since its making you unhappy. Come on and say hi..", Pris said, shaking me. I jerked my arm violently, and she nearly fell.
"What do you know?!!", I shouted at her, she got a shock.
"Qiuru!", the guy shouted.
"Takeshi! Shut up okie?!", I shouted back looking at him.
"You guys don't know anything!" I shouted back.
"Qiu.. What happened? Why are you so upset?", Pris asked.
I sat down again, and put my head on the table.
"My parents want me to go to Australia with them.", I said softly. Pris took a step back and abruptly sat on the seat next to me, and her face turned colour.
"What about us now?", she asked.
"I don't know.." I said.
"What's going on?", Takeshi asked.
I shook my head. Just then, Energy came in.
"What's going on?", Niunai asked. Takeshi just shook his head and said nothing. Energy just sat down and kept quiet.
"She.. Qiu.. has to go over to Australia with her parents. But why?" Pris said, almost in tears.
"I don't know. My parents said that living here is too expensive. And they want to move. It was also for the benefit of my sisters. They can go over there to a university.", I explained softly, my head still laid on the table.
"But Qiu.. You have not finished your diploma yet.", Pris added.
"True, but that doesn't mean I'm staying long. When I'm done, I'll probably have to go over and join them anyway.", I said.
"Then how?", Pris asked.
"I don't know.. I really don't know..", I said, sniffing.
There was silence when the phone rang. Ben received it.
"Miss Autumn, its for you.", he said.
"Thank you", as I went to receive the call with the cordless phone. It was Ken. I explained to F4that I had to go to Australia, after a long talk, we said our goodbyes and hung up. I looked around and saw a very upset Pris, an upset Takky, and very lost Energy. I broke the silence.
"Excuse me.. I got work to do.", I said as I grab my bag and left for my room. Someone followed me. I turned, and it was Kunda.
"If you need anything, go to Pris. I'm in no mood now.", I told him.
"No... I... Wanted to see if you're okie.", he said.
"I'm... I got work to do.", I said, turned and left for my room.
