49 Days: Getting Into the Body of a Vegetative Man
7. Rehearses

From now on, Tagara was trying to trust Qia. Aside from that woman, she would not easily trust. Regarding Jordan, Qia asked Tagara to be casual, open as usual but not tell her about her true identity.

"Alright, from now on I will try to be vigilant on everyone I meet," Tagara said.

Qia kept all the assets of Andres. In his heart, he did not know if the real Andres was still alive or even dead. This actually disturbed his mind, only he convinced himself that Tagara's arrival in Andres' body might be an answer to facilitate their plans.

"I thought I was lucky to get a chance to live once again, but it turns out that being someone else isn't that easy" Tagara murmured.

Qia heard enough of the man's speech, she also responded briefly.

"Sometimes we feel our lives are at their worst. We also want to be someone else just by seeing his life better than we live, even if we live it .. we are not necessarily capable like him."

"You're right. I used to be a loser, looking at other people's lives as more blessed than mine."

"Then do you still feel that way, after living in Andres's body?"

"I still feel the same. You even thought I was stupid before. You're right, there's nothing I can do with this body" he said pessimistically.

Qia pulled one corner of her lips. "You are the chosen one, so don't keep thinking of yourself as a loser. You have to prove that you are capable because the opportunity will not come 2 times" he said wisely.

Tagara commented with a smile, she was quite calm with Qia's words that seemed to support her. Contrary to the reverse when he used to live only became the scorn of the surrounding people.

"What year were you born?" ask Qia.

"1957" replied Tagara.

"You're old enough. It's 2022" Qia said.

"Well, everything's been great. I have even seen the model of modern clothes that I now wear. Also such a sophisticated communication tool."

"You have an electronics company if you forget," Qia recalled.

"It's not me, but it's Andres's."

"Then learn to be the real Andres."

Tagara nodded. Qia helped him become the figure of Andres who was not easily oppressed. Andres is good at martial arts, archery, he can even shoot. Now Tagara knows that Andres not only has perfect visuals, but he also has many more skills in addition to intelligence that is also qualified.

"I feel unsuited to life in the body of Andres, he and I are the same as inversely proportional. You said Andres was smart, while I was stupid" Tagara complained.

Qia couldn't help but laugh, though Tagara's face looked lethargic, but this was like her own entertainment. When else could he see Andres' usually fierce face become this weak? This is all because Tagara who controls the body until the expression Tagara put on Andres' face looks funny in Qia's eyes.

"Then from that, you have to prove that you can be like Andres. Don't waste this opportunity, when else will people judge you as smart, rich and handsome."

"But what they know now is that I'm a crippled and poor man who fell into bankruptcy."

"You're right." Qia agreed with Tagara's speech this time. "Shut them with the wealth you have at the right time later" he said.

"So for now I have to keep pretending to be poor?"

"Yes, because only the two of us know that the asset is still there."

"Keenan?"

"He doesn't know either."

Tagara fell silent, she wanted to ask Qia what she should do after this.

"First of all, you have to convince all of them, lest anyone suspect you like I know you're not Andres."

"What should I do?"

"Learn."

"Studying?" reset Tagara.

"Yes. You learn martial arts and shooting."

"It's just that there's me," said Qia sniffing his shoulders indifferently.

Tagara's eyes are breaking. "You can do all that?" tanyakanya.

"Well, I can even shoot like everything Andres does. Are you doubting me?"

"No ..." Tagara shook her hand. "I believe. Let's start," he continued excitedly.

That day, Qia taught Tagara to do various martial basics. Taekwondo, karate, even judo and kung fu can be done by Qia. Tagara was astonished to see it.

"Stop showing that stupid face of yours," chortled Qia looked at Tagara's expression. He did not mean to mock, only, he could not help laughing every time he saw the usually serious face of Andres so looked stupid just because controlled by Tagara.

"Stop saying I'm stupid too" Tagara said.

Qia is not bullying. He asked Tagara to put up the horses, then noticed the man's posture.

"Yes, it's better" said Qia after many times Tagara made a mistake just from his standing.

"Oh, what about Jordan? From the beginning he knew that I was healthy and able to walk, because he was the one who first found me in the hospital room at that time" Tagara explained.

Qia thought for a moment. "No problem. If he's one of those people who turns out to want Andres' destruction, let him know that Andres isn't as weak as they think."

Tagara reflects on smile. He was glad that Qia did not blame his carelessness back then who had directly trusted Jordan for granted.

"In addition to Agatha, who else has Andres ever suspected?" ask Tagara to Qia.

Qia shook her head. "There's no other name yet, but I and Andres are convinced that Agatha can't move alone."

"Yes, he must be conspiring with someone."

Qia laughs. "Can you think now?" ledek.

"I can think, though my thinking is more often missed" admits Tagara.

Qia patted Tagara's shoulder familiarly. "After this we practice shooting" he said calmly.

"Me-shoots?" Tagara looks flabbergasted. Suddenly his palms were sweating.

"Don't be nervous. You should be able to hold a gun because after this we don't know what's going to happen to you. In the future, you even have to carry a gun wherever you go" Qia explained.

Pale tagara. He couldn't even tell which pistol was real or fake. Except for a toy gun, Tagara never held a gun that could take out bullets.

"Andres was surrounded by good people in front of him, but behind him there could have been people who wanted to stab him. So, you have to be more careful when you're in his body" Qia recalled.

Again Tagara could only nod. Even though he was actually afraid of this kind of thing. He swallowed with difficulty. It's like an action movie, he thought, but now he has to face a variety of faces that he doesn't know what he wants.

"If I may know, what exactly do the people who want to harm Andres want?" ask Tagara.

Qia thinning lips. "Especially if it's not property and power" he said.

"Andres is a handsome man, but why would Agatha want to harm him and pretend to love him? Is Agatha not interested in Andres?" ask Tagara again with her thoughts.

"Come on, but maybe he's more interested in Andres's treasure" Qia said as she sniffed her shoulders.
