Chapter 3:
He ran as fast as he could. Well, it was easy for him. He was a Toa and he was in good shape after all.
He dodged some Matoran and Agori. Some of them kept staring at him. Nuparu didn't care. He just wanted to see her again. Suddenly he crashed against Kongu.
"Whoa!" Said Kongu "Where are you going so quick fast?"
"I'm…" Panted Nuparu "I'm looking for Malka."
"Is she alive?"
Nuparu stared at him a bit annoyed.
"Of course she's alive." He snapped.
"C'mon, don't get angry. But, how are you so sure that she will recognize you?"
Nuparu stared at the ground with sadness.
"I'll be honest," He said and sighed "I'm not sure if she'll recognize me. But I'll tell him who I am and then everything will be okay."
"And if she actually has a boyfriend?"
"Oh, come on, do you really want to make me feel bad?"
"No, dude, but I'm warning you. Some girls are quick complicated."
"I know that but…"
"Just look at Hahli and Jaller. Hahli has him on the palm of her hand, and he drools for her. Also, if you notice, she can do with him as she wishes. Thankfully Hahli is too nice to hurt him."
"But if I…"
"But not all of them are like Hahli."
"Kongu…"
"If you really love yourself then you won't let her break your heart…"
"KONGU!" Yelled Nuparu. "Look, dude, I'm not sure at all. And you're making me loose my security."
"Sorry, dude. But you're my best friend, and I don't want any girl to broke your heart."
"She won't. She was my best fr…" He stopped when he saw Kongu's face. "She was my FEMALE best friend." He gave him a friendly shake and laughed "You know you're my best friend, anyway."
"I hope so." Said Kongu, trying to seem jealous, but he wanted to laugh.
Nuparu laughed and continued running.
"Good luck." Muttered Kongu,
…
"Hi." Nuparu said to some Av Matoran "Have you seen Malka?"
"Malka…" Said an Av Matoran "Yes, yes. She was talking with Solek."
"SOLEK?" Nuparu yelled. "WHO'S THAT?"
"He's an Av Matoran and…"
Nuparu sighed.
"Where can I find her?"
"Go to the central river. They must be there."
Nuparu felt a small anguish in his chest. What would they be doing?
"Thanks, little one." He said and began running to the river.
…
He finally arrived there. He began looking for them with the sight, and he saw a Matoran. That seemed to be a Ko Matoran, not an Av Matoran and there was…there she was… she was alive… and she was… grabbing Solek's hand. Then they approached their faces and then they… they kissed. Kongu was right.
Nuparu felt his heart breaking in two parts. He just bite his lip, sighed and walked away from there.
…
He wanted to talk with someone, maybe with Kongu, but Kongu was at that moment fighting with Gresh. Maybe Jaller would understand how he was feeling now.
He opened the door of his teammate hut's and what he saw made him feel even worse.
Jaller and Hahli were kissing and it seemed like if they wanted more than only that because he was over her, her legs were opened and he was holding her thighs and pressing their bodies together.
He coughed. They separated abruptly.
"Uh…" Said Jaller "Hello." He said but his tone of voice wanted to say: You just interrupted us before the best part begins.
"Did you finally see Malka?" Said Hahli when she wasn't so blushed.
"Yes… I saw her and… well..."
"Let me guess." Said Jaller "She didn't recognized you."
"No… She didn't even saw me." Nuparu said sadly.
"Why?" Asked Hahli.
"She was with Solek…"
Jaller and Hahli stared at each other.
"Who's that?" They asked at unison.
"He's an Av Matoran. And that's not it. They… They were making out." He said while tears began running on his mask.
Jaller and Hahli stared at each other with concern and then stared at their friend. They wanted to comfort him, but they just didn't find the words to do it.
