TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
Chapter 284
In the Casablanka cafe a girl wearing a short dress on her knees, was sitting while occasionally sipping juice that had just been ordered. Often his eyes look towards the phone, hoping for an incoming notification. Or just looking at the time on the phone. He doesn't wear a watch.
"I'm not sure he's coming. Or maybe my guess is wrong" the girl murmured, unsure of herself.
Ten minutes later, the juice he ordered was gone. However, the person he was waiting for did not come.
"I'd better go home."
Lisa took the bag and wrapped it around her arm. Thirty minutes of waiting turned out to be nothing and Helen did not show her face. Even Helen didn't tell him she wasn't coming.
"Wear this card" Lisa said, giving her debit card to waitress to pay for what she ordered. Lisa felt her efforts were in vain because Helen did not keep her promise.
"Good night, Miss Lisa. Sorry I'm an hour late."
Lisa looked up, Helen was behind her. A thin and sly smile adorned Helen's face. Not yet they just talk, it seems Lisa had guessed that Helen would be able to work together.
"Please sit down."
The two sat facing each other. Helen orders a glass of cappucino followed by Lisa. Chatting is not warm if not accompanied by drinks.
"So do you know Arabella?" Lisa started the conversation.
"No! But I know it" said Helen. She was so elegant sipping her warm capuccino.
"I .. don't really like formal talk. What do you know about ... An arabella? Just tell me everything."
Lisa asked again. This time he said a little more casually, "well we can work together. I know you love Alvin very much and hate his wife, right? I, too, love my Noah very much."
"In conclusion, Arabella is me, but I'm not her. You know another world, a parallel world that exists like in a fairy tale world? Maybe if I personally call it a dream world. I've been there many times. As ... Arabella," said Helen immediately.
"Interesting! I've never been there. Explain in more detail who is Ara?"
Lisa straightened her back. Listen seriously when Helen speaks. The woman began to explain and even described the physical features of Arabella, the environment and condition of Ara in another world. All Helen told me without anything she covered up. "He is sick in his body .. and his SOUL!"
"So you mean, he's a little sane?" ask Lisa. He became more interested in Helen's story.
"Well, it could be."
"Continue the story!" Lisa drank her coffee again.
"Wait on! But first I want to ask, are you going to believe my words? If it doesn't, I'm lazy to talk a lot."
"Continue. I have important information."
Helen reached out her hand to greet Lisa. They agreed to work together. "I agree! We're working together now!"
Lisa thrust out a paper she took from Noah's bag. The lab results that Noah had just tested a few days ago. There's a fingerprint of Helen's left on the knife.
"What's this?" ask Helen.
"Read it."
"Kiss?" ask Helen while thinking.
"Tell me everything first. After that I'll explain the results of that report I took from Uncle Noah."
Helen nodded. Then he told me everything about Ara that he knew. Including telling me that Arabella turned out to be the half-sister of a girl named Aluna. Helen said Arabella was very lonely and had never dated. In the world there, Helen read a lot of Ara's writings about Noah that she always missed.
"Ha ha, so she's just a sick girl? Who dreams of being Cinderella?" ask Lisa.
"Even his body is very thin. He has no hair and spends his time in the hospital. Arabella is a late-stage cancer survivor."
Helen explained. Very detailed with what he saw to Lisa. They've agreed, to solve the problem together. Including against Aluna who now inhabits Luna's body.
"I've explained. Now tell me what do these lab results mean?" Helen put the paper on the table. Ask Lisa to open her voice.
"In the written statement that you are the owner of the fingerprints on the knife sent Aluna. Do you know that the real Luna was killed?"
Lisa's question caused Helen's eyes to widen. His pupils dilated, indicating that he was very shocked.
"Lu-Luna died?" ask Helen.
"Well, and you killed him!"
Lisa pointed at Helen with an emphasis-filled speech. "Isn't that what I said?"
Helen shook her head quickly. Never mind killing, the news of Luna's death only now he knows.
"Do you know where, Lisa?" ask Helen with a slightly loud tone.
"I told you Uncle Noah said it himself. Look at these fingerprints of yours. You were the one who killed Luna a few months ago!"
Lisa felt Helen play against her. To act like someone who doesn't know.
"I told you I don't like being too formal and hiding facts. Tell me now, then I'll shut up later."
"Lisa, I'm not doing a show. I-I .. only dared to hurt Luna, but not to kill her with my own hands."
Lisa's eyebrows cringed. "Who killed him?"
Helen shook her head and shrugged her shoulders not knowing.
"Do you know this picture?" ask Lisa again. He handed me a paper with a picture.
"It belongs to Arabella Noah said. Have you ever seen this thing?"
Lisa asked again. Last night when Noah was drunk, the man had a lot of gibberish telling Lisa everything about Arabella. The items Arabella gave him included the picture.
"This is a jade pendant. I think I've seen this pendulum. What did Noah tell you about this picture?" helen asked, getting curious.
"I don't know that clearly. But at that time Noah said, through this thing Ara and Aluna can exist in this world. This jade brought them into our world."
