Followed by the Chaotic Creature
A Meeting

He took me to the cafe of one of his acquaintances. Coincidentally it was quiet. There are only a few visitors.

"What do you want to drink?" Ask the man, who introduced himself by the name of Alvin.

"What matters is not bitter" I replied.

We both sat in a window seat away from the other visitors.

'Will Ello also be this handsome if he's still alive?' I inwardly looked at the face of the man who was most likely his sister. In some parts they have similarities such as in the nose and eyes.

"So," said Alvin, throwing away my daydream, "why did you avoid me?" Ask.

"I'm not avoiding." My sangkal.

"So you ran away!"

"I'm exercising."

"You're doing daytime sports?"

"Say daytime exercise is good for burning fat."

"I don't see you have a problem with your weight."

"of course. It's because I'm so good at keeping my body shape."

After a pointless debate he finally sighed, "Honestly I'm amazed, you're brave enough to come with me that you're new to today. I could have taken you to a dangerous place" he said.

"During my observation these two days I'm sure you're a good man" I replied. For a moment I froze realizing my mistake.

'Ah shit! My mouth!'

Alvin laughed, " huh! You won't answer my phone but instead bother following me."

"I need to know, to decide whether I should talk to you or not." I'm explaining.

"So now you've decided to talk?" Ask

"Yes" I replied. Then a moment of silence. "A few days ago your brother called me and asked me to see his mother. She said her mother was going to have a birthday and asked me to come to her house to congratulate her and give her a gift."

I held out a piece of paper containing his old home address and the name of his parents. Also his mother's birthday. I think the evidence was enough to show that I was indeed talking to her brother.

"Are you investigating my family?" Ask suspiciously.

"Is there any benefit in me doing that?" Means back. I expected him to think like that.

"I know you visited your old house a few days ago. And you know that someone's looking for your family from your old neighbor, or from the security guard. Maybe you came over there to check if your brother went back there or not. Although it is not routine once in a while you go there to check it out. And when you find out there's a woman looking for your family you have no idea who it is. Right?"

"so from there you should have understood that visiting your old house a few days ago was me."

He silently listened to my every word.

"Why isn't my own brother coming here and talking to me. Why must .." There was an emotional vibration in his voice that was held back.

"Even if he's here and standing in front of you, you can't see him anymore." Said cutting.

Hearing what I said, my expression changed. His eyes vibrate. "What do you mean?"

"The voice that called me was the voice of a 5-year-old boy while your brother disappeared 17 years ago. I've also met the boy in the same form as in the photo of the search."

"If you think your brother is still alive, is it possible that he came to me in that form?"

"Enough!" Cut it hard, she covered her ears as if refusing to hear what I was about to say, "stop it! Please stop!"

Head bowed. She almost cried. Or maybe you've been crying. I don't know because I can't see his face. But his voice was full of sadness.

It must have been hard for him to accept this reality.

"I don't have any advantage here. And not expecting profit from you. I'm just saying what I have to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"I wish you could stop looking for your sister. And focus on your life. I'm sure that's what your brother wants, too."

I left him frustrated alone. I hope what I did was right.

Three days later Alvin called me again.

"What's wrong?" Much

"Can we meet again?"

"If there's anything to talk about, talk about it now."

"I want to meet you in person. I want to say thank you. And also I want to apologize, I might be a little rude when we last met."

From his voice I knew he was calm and stable. Maybe he can accept the truth.

"Okay, let's see you after work. "

It turns out that Alvin also works at his father's place which happens to be his office not far from my office. When he picked me up in the car, my office friends were making a fuss.

Naturally, because all this time they knew I wasn't close to any man. Maybe for them it was a rare sight. Moreover, the face and appearance of Alvin that can make girls fall in love. In contrast to the looks when we met that day, she looked more presentable.

I'm sure tomorrow there will be hot news spreading in the office and making my head hurt.

"I told you not to pick me up." I said, reminding him, as I passed by and got into the car.

"I think all women like to be picked up like this." Said reasoned.

"except me. Take note of that."

"You are a unique girl."

"What is a compliment?"

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Are you always this cold to men?" Ask again. He started driving.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, because I've never been close enough to them." My answer.

"You don't have a boyfriend?" Ask wonder.

"What is the question I have to answer."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know the question was sensitive to you." Sincerely speaking.

"I don't have a boyfriend." I said, "Is that weird for a girl my age."

"No, it's weird that no man isn't interested in you. I think you're pretty sweet."

"Thank you for the compliment. I hope you're not teasing me." My speech

Alvin just smiled, "I'm just telling you the truth."

I sighed, as if there was a heavy weight I was throwing.

"Do you think any normal guy would want to date a girl who can talk to ghosts?" Ask sharp.

"I don't have a problem." Alvin's answer surprised me. I looked at her as if I wanted to make sure those words came out of her mouth.

"For me it's not a matter of my boyfriend seeing ghosts or not. As long as she has a girl-like appearance, and I like her. I'll respect his abilities and respect his secrets." Alvin replied firmly.

'The good guy. I'm sure whoever's her boyfriend would be happy' I thought.

Meanwhile Alvin had parked his car, "It's over."

"I thought we agreed to.."

"This is the closest." He said before I could protest, "Let's just relax I've booked a suitable place for us to chat."
