Daisy Meets Johann's

Chapter 1.2: I Met Him

"It looks like the time setting is a bit messy. Nope. More precisely very messed up."

I opened the previous page of my mother's agenda book. It's been a year since I only received two sentences each month, the continuation of this story, and this agenda book is still not fully written.

Twenty years ago, I was fifteen. My mother left me her agenda book which is still empty. A fairly thick book to serve as a record of activities. Unless it's a journal. When I received it I thought, indeed, how many activities will I participate in for a year.

Usually the agenda book is made as a record of activities per year so on the front page written only year numbers. However, the written mother's property began exactly in 1845. In front of the number is written with a tilde sign.

At that time I was not at all curious about such small details. All I'm interested in is this book. The page is too many. That'sthat's all. It even beats the thickness of the 6th Harry Potter series of fantasy fiction books.

Suddenly it was raining. The sky that was only a few minutes clear became dark instantly. The reddened maple trees looked like a black shadow as I closed the glass door on the balcony. I really don't like this wet, dark season. I was lucky to be home soon after breakfast at the family restaurant. Otherwise, it is not just rain, but I have to pass through an always dark road in an area dominated by stone-colored buildings and even some have long stood.

This eighth-floor apartment is the only building that looks modern, striking because it is painted yellow. Only in the summer, this apartment is interesting to see.

If I'm only interested in the balcony and the distance is close to work. The rest is just bonuses and risks. I feel like I'm living in Castle Combe, but at the wrong time.

As happened with this script.

It was a bit difficult to remember all the plots that took place within it. I still don't know what the title of the story is. Just the name of the character and the background characteristics of the time and place in the story. Like reading a history novel.

I took out my other pocket-shaped notebook from the mahogany table rack. I left some bookmarks in there and the sticker I labeled.

The names of the characters, their characters, the time setting, the fashion of clothing, to their lifestyles. All are suitable if put into the era of the 19th century. It's just that the name of the country and the city where they live is fictional. Not on google search. But I could have guessed the time.

Regardless of all that, if it is true that the time sequence is not appropriate, it could mean that some manuscripts are missed or entirely not in sequence.

"Why am I sober now?"

It was not that the murder had happened in the beginning. Why is this the first time Daisy has met Johann? Is there really a script I passed? Then if the time sequence is even wrong, how to arrange it? It's all written there. I can only wait for the next article to appear.

Is this really a novel version or is it just a deliberate draft by who's out there with the magic and power of writing in this book.

I'm fixated on one name only. Johann.

Until now there was no clue at all why he committed the murder. In my eyes, Johann, the eye of diamonds, was a man who was easily loved. I even put a taste in him.

I close my eyes. Hoping to get a hint, but with the sound of rain blowing my chest tight, I just wanted to fall asleep.

What was as smooth as that dust, had been transformed into something sharp. Not a thing but his words and feelings for me.

Johann never cared about anyone else. Their lives are only considered as a function of household furniture. Wear it if you need it.

Is he like that or am I too cruel to describe the character of Johann?

It's my fault for not understanding him too much and not even taking the initiative to know what kind of person he is. I just concluded the final result. The things he did to me and my family.

Is it necessary to find out what the reason is while it is possible that he did this out of indifference. Just something that simple.

If you care, when your body is hungry you will eat. If you care, you'll notice and start doing things for that person, that plant, that animal, or that plant.

Johann.

If only I were alive. I'll start with the simplest thing and the one you've taken all along.

Not only caring, but reassuring you that you have a family.

Maybe that's all I'd wish for if I was reborn.
