The Another Soul
Ch. 24

"Ah... Warm water is best."

I sighed favorably. I felt like I hadn't taken a shower for months. I washed my face with warm water, and I feel very fresh at this time.

I closed my eyes, then buried half my face in the water. I want to think about this moment.

Was the deal I made too difficult, Dad?

Am I being too pushy.

Seems not. Even Sanita agreed. Then what I did was right?

Why am I doubting now.

Is something wrong?

What's wrong with what I did.

Kriukk...

Uh... That embarrassing voice again. My stomach is ringing again. Is it because I think too much?

I got out of the bathtub, and then I took a towel. I came out of the bathroom and found my room empty.

Why did they return so long?

I let out a breath. Let them go. Maybe after this they will rarely travel because they have to take care of me.

I walked towards the window, and looked at the moon with the strange sky and clouds.

"Egolas, my parents, and the deal they made."

I went back to thinking about the agreement my parents wanted to follow. But I refused it. What to do with parents I don't know.

It looks like I'll be cursed to stone if my parents hear it.

"That's it. The past is mine, and the future belongs to them all. So I don't have to think about it now. Just making me hungrier, eh? What'sthis?"

When I wanted to get out of the window, I felt like I was stepping on something. I picked it up and saw a black wallet.

"It... Doesn't this belong to Fahrez?"

I opened Fahrez's wallet, and it's Fahrez's. The wallet was the same as I remembered it.

"They're looking for him everywhere, but his wallet's actually here."

I put Fahrez's wallet on the table. Then I picked up the clothes hanging by the window.

"Uhh... Whose shirt is this?"

I saw one black jeans, and a long-sleeved shirt with blue stripes on his arm. Simple, but whose clothes are these?

"Yes already. There's no other clothes anyway."

I immediately put on the shirt, but when I wanted to wear it I felt like there were running footsteps.

"SERGIO..!"

BRAKK...

I feel sorry for that door. The door is detached from the hinge.

And the one who opened it up like that was Rakka. He looked at me and then he saw me from top to bottom.

"Hm... What was? Why are you looking at me like that?"

I continued to wear my clothes. When I finished I went to the door, where Rakka was still there.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Sergio, sure it's healthy."

I'm nodding. "I have, but there are some places where I feel pain. The old man is too much."

"Where!"

Rakka held my shoulder firmly. I grimaced softly.

"Rakka, one of them is where you touched. I'm fine."

I took Rakka's hand off my shoulder. She still looks at me worried, but yes.

"By the way, where's Fahrez?"

"Oh, she's at Dewi Sanita's place. And there's one person I want to introduce you to."

"Who?"

"You'll know. Let's just go. Have you eaten yet?"

"It."

"When did you realize?"

Rakka asked as we walked over to Sanita's place. I also answered.

"About two hours ago. When you're looking for Fahrez's wallet."

"Sorry to leave you."

"What's wrong. I've made new friends here anyway."

"Friends?"

I'm nodding. "Yes, a friend I'll remember."

"Sergio."

"Hmm?"

I answered Rakka's call just by muttering. Rakka suddenly walked in front of me, after which she turned around and bowed low. I saw him shocked.

"I'm sorry I saved you so late!"

"Eh?"

"My job was supposed to be your guard, but I felt useless. Me, I'm asking maa--ouch! What are you doing?!"

I just touched Rakka's forehead. I know she might be older than me, but what she's doing now, it's childish.

"No need to say that. We're family, why are you apologizing."

I'm back walking. Leaving Rakka who was still touching her forehead. Eh wait? Did I mention the word family?

Didn't I just meet Rakka and Fahrez. How could I consider them family so soon.

'Levi, Zoe, and Orga. From now on we are family. So never forget your family, okay.'

Suddenly, a memory entered my head. I touched my head, it felt like my head was dizzy. The orga? Who's Orga?

"Sergio!"

"I, I'm fine."

I am now in a leaning position on the wooden wall. Rakka now looks at me worried.

"It seems you're not well. How about we just go back to the room?"

"No. No need."

I'm back walking. The dizziness slowly disappeared. What memory was that?

"Rakka?"

"Yes?"

I looked at Rakka seriously, Rakka who felt stared at turned her attention to me. I began to ask about something that had plagued my mind.

"Who's Ilka?"
