Deja Vu [ Lilian Ashley ]
13. The Mysterious

"HAHA, don't panic. I'm not a fortune teller."

I don't know for a few seconds I was still silenced as much as possible because of the shock that felt like I was being possessed. Yeah, on the one hand I'm trying to hide this amnesia. Amnesia is a disease, right?

''Si River who told me earlier," continued Kai with a horse-style grin. Turns out he was given a leak, I thought he was smarter at watching me.

"Oh ...." I nodded my sign responding and felt a little calm.

Instantly I realized something that made me unable to focus on digesting Kai's words. It's now July 22nd where I've been in an accident to wake up in a different world. Today, I have to protect myself no matter how. Especially from the crazy girls Vin fans.

Damn, this is an open place and it's easy to target a mushy creature like me if everyone is turning away. Moreover, at night, I really do not want to be satirized by that pale-skinned, violent-faced guy. How horrifying.

I don't want to be here until tomorrow. So that's why I better say goodbye to the manager. I decided to get up and approach the manager.

"Where are you going, Ley?" ask Kai.

"Gue doesn't feel well." I held the back of my neck so that my lies would not be seen. It's impossible if I tell you that my life is in danger. Kai must have said that my reason doesn't make sense.

"Sleep. Put on my jacket, here." Kai started taking off his jacket.

"No need, I'm going home with River." 

In the end I managed to go and ask the manager for permission for the same reason.

I asked River to accompany me home and he agreed. Even this guy didn't protest or ask me why I left here. As usual River calls a taxi online.

When we were half way to arrive, just know that in the middle of the taxi trip this has had a bad luck, the tire leaked. I think it was bad boys because when the taxi driver checked the situation there were some nails scattered on the road. Even worse, River's cell phone battery had been used up, while I was just as lucky as him.

"You want to walk?" he asked me to confirm my decision. "So deket the truth."

"Yes, just walk away" I replied with a smile.

Just as my feet were walking away, I suddenly slipped until I almost fell backward. River swiftly wrapped his arms around my waist and my eyes glanced towards the cause of this misfortune.

It turns out the puddle.

These are sidewalks and there is no housing or resto that supports the cause of this water discharge. There was no rain all day either. Not even just that. We continued our journey and it was decorated with the discovery of a rat carcass on the street, a flower pot that suddenly fell in front of us from the fence of the wall of the house that had been passed, at once there are some street thugs who hang out and make me stingy.

Inadvertently, our trip had passed the cafe clair de lune which was brightly lit. However, the front door board still reads 'close'.

"Do we need to check out the cafe? Who knows if there's a thief" I said out of curiosity.

"No need. It's the manager's responsibility." River pulled me to continue my journey.

Tonight was really terrible. I should have stayed in the apartment safely and comfortably.

"Finally there," said River after sighing loudly because it had escaped the horror tonight. "Gue was still a bit nauseous to remember the rat carcass on the road earlier."

I smiled too. "Thank you, yeah. But you have to go home alone because of me."

Yap right. I became worried because this guy managed to get me to the door of my apartment, while I certainly could not accompany him to go home.

"Who said I'm home alone?" Suddenly River poked his body until his face was parallel to mine while curling the corner of his lips. "Gue's gonna get your apartment."

"Lo used to smuggle me, you know?" timpal River poking me in the cheek. Unexpectedly if this guy has charming talent.

I think my face was so flushed from fear or it could be so embarrassed that River laughed before saying, "No, where maybe at a time like this I'm even nginep in your apartment." Thank God, I just wanted to run away aka moving apartment.

"Gue go yes, bye" River said as he turned and walked away without looking at him.

I'm not sure of myself that this really loves that shitty guy. I think I'm this one with more high blood and emotions than wrong behavior towards him.

My feet stepped into the apartment and turned on the lights until the entire room became bright. It's really nice in times of stress to see a cleanliness in the things you own.

I took the phone out of the bag and charged it and somehow I wanted to turn it on as quickly as possible.

Instantly I was flooded with text message notifications.

Who exactly is this guy? His message showed me the meaning of worry and fear. I was no less afraid when I found out that the mysterious human who sent the message had known my workmates and my movements from the beginning woke up in the hospital until now. He must be around me.

The mysterious man calls all my co-workers except the manager. So, is he my manager? I guess not, if he was that mysterious figure, he should have warned me directly. Even I knew that the manager was busy chatting with his friends and had no time to pull out the phone at all. It's likely that he's definitely between those people and asking me.

I glanced at the clock on the phone which showed 22:31 and meant the night was getting late. I saturate all the negative thoughts by cleansing myself and laying on the bed and hoping that everything will be okay tomorrow. May the mysterious man give me privacy and know the limits of spying on me.

Is it possible that this mysterious person is not human? Ah ridiculous, where there's a supernatural being playing on a cell phone and then typing a text message on an amnesiac girl like me.

If you think about Kai earlier, something caught my attention. A piece of memory that appeared on my brain at a glance became a reality in the future. So, there's a good chance that all those strange visions will come true. It is not a memory, but a vision of the future. Strange, I should have started to recall memories of the past, but why be the future? It seems my brain has been mis-set. Oh yes, about the change in the world I have to find out.

I quickly got out of bed, and picked up the diary from the line of books. Not filled anything, alias still sealed. Maybe, in the past I was not too interested in writing daily activities. My hand wrote the phrase "Date 22, River was with me." on the first page and closed the book. This eye glanced at the calendar without the marker as before and crossed it by circling July 22. It used to be written as an "employee tour" and now I'm going to write it as "lean".

By the way, it's pretty cold tonight. After I looked in all directions, apparently there was a gap in my window that became a means of entering a night wind. In fact, the curtains in front of him were already scorched.

I returned the diary, then went back to the night throne to rest my brain.
