Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 79 { Forgot }

When all of Morgan's painting equipment was complete and their already satisfied feelings spent their ten hours chatting, the, chloe and Morgan walked out of the Paper Source Lab and giggled like children. The two of them did not realize that they had been chatting in the shop for too long without paying attention to the clock and towards which eye of the wind was the shadow at that time. Unfortunately, the words of the shadow no longer apply to the night that innocently enveloped the entire city of Chicago with darkness. The moonlight alone is not enough to illuminate the whole city, although the sun has given a little light by giving the light later, the rest depends on how the moon reflects it.

Chloe lifted her head up. Armed with the light of a street lamp that is not so broad, Chloe and Morgan stepped out on a path that began to be quiet. Apparently, some people choose to stay in their cozy palaces while enjoying how warm winter dishes and the fire under their home's chimney are.

“Wah, I didn't think it was night. I really want to see how you paint. Hah, it's a pity..” complains Chloe after that chuckle at Morgan.

Now the painting equipment that Morgan had is all complete. The rest lives Morgan who creates his imagination as best as possible on the white canvas that is still plain. For Chloe, the Morgan hobby is like the way parents educate their children with patience and compassion. Well, even though it is true that making the painting should be in a good mood, why not educate the children?

According to Chloe, Morgan was her parents, canvas was her son, painting was her medium, and painting was her lesson. Of the four statements, Chloe concluded whether or not a painting is good based on how the painter pours and practices his skills on canvas. If the results are good, then the painting can make the painter become a respected and considered a talented painter.

Morgan laughed in response to the words of Chloe, “His speech is really exciting! Factor too comfortable with the world itself anyway! Oh, yeah, you hungry?” morgan asked as he reached into his jacket pocket hoping he still had money left to buy Chloe dinner.

Chloe thought well. His right hand is seen stroking his stomach. “Again hungry anyway.” The answer was a wide grin while holding shame on the other side. “Actually, I want to eat at Gallery Cafe. But, ten hours gini where might open.”

“In short it's closed, right.” Erat Morgan still laughed.

“Yeah, so how's dong? Very hungry!”

“Fine, Fine! I'll find you a good place to eat. Remember yes! Don't protest the same restaurant I chose!” Morgan shows her index finger as a warning to Chloe so that the girl does not make it up after finding a place to eat that Morgan chose.

Chloe rolled her eyeballs lazily, “Don't go where many of her men are! At least there's a female waitress!” hatch Chloe.

Not wanting to waste a long time, Chloe and Morgan immediately stepped quickly to find a place to eat even though the night wind was blowing fiercely against their skin that shivered with cold. A gust of wind trying to warn them to immediately go home given the circumstances outside that are increasingly not good for the health of the body.

“As Okiya Subaru said, ‘adults are easy to get sick’,” chirps Morgan in the middle of the trip looking for a place to eat.

Chloe exhaled loudly as if she did not acknowledge the truth of Morgan's words that rant the words of Okiya Subaru, one of Morgan's sister's favorite cartoon characters.

“Depends on age too. If the age is the same as us who are 18-24 years old, it should still be strong. Unless it is an unhealthy lifestyle.” Chloe Lecture. “By the way, how old are you?”

“sweet seventeen, dong!” after saying the sentence, a sharp gaze from Chloe immediately attacked Morgan accompanied by an unpleasant cold aura that made the man jump. He immediately corrected his words. “Hah.. 23 years. You alone?”

“22 years, anyway.”

“Wah, I am a year senior from you!” Morgan smiled broadly at the fact that she was older than Chloe. And Chloe did not rub the smile, choosing to turn her eyes forward. The atmosphere on the highway was quiet at the time. Pedestrians are getting less. It makes Chloe's mind lead to a no-no. Like a group of bad people who like to steal bags and a number of important items such as cellphones, jewelry, wallets and so forth.

In order to eliminate the fear, Chloe was forced to attach herself to Morgan while tightly grasping the man's hand to make him confused. The man's hands were warm. It's not like Chloe wants to let go of that hand.

“You why, Chloe?” ask Morgan worriedly.

“I'm afraid.” Chloe said softly. The girl hid her face behind Morgan's thick jacket.

Morgan understood the meaning of the girl's behavior. Night time is vulnerable, which is called evil. People who want to do harm and create trauma for the victim who was walking at the wrong time for some reason, came out while mingling with silence. Like a black shadow, they walked around with a mature plan that they had prepared in their heads. A good luck for them if the victim is careless and a bad luck for the victim who faces directly without having expertise in defending himself from danger. Clashes ensued until two possibilities arose. A lost thing or a lost life? Or just both.

Messages from Chloe's parents about the ban at night are still lingering in the girl's mind today. Chloe remembers one of the drama scenes she watched in High School. An ordinary-looking woman, walking under the night sky who was sound asleep while playing her mobile phone. Without realizing it, a man of great stature approached her and snatched her cell phone.

The scene made Chloe's heart stiffen. He often bites the tip of his lips when he feels tension in his chest.

“Morgan, promise me you never leave me!”

Chloe, who was looking down at the beginning, turned to Morgan with a serious look that held fear in it. Although her heart felt heavy saying it, however, Chloe needed to. Especially considering her who has put full trust in Morgan. He was convinced that Morgan was a good man.

“Ah, let's not be too scary, what if we tell a story like that?” morgan's proposal suddenly surprised the girl who was stricken with fear.

“What story? I don't have a story anymore.”

“I have. The time SMA it..”.

“Oh, continued in the store earlier? Be able! So how's your best friend's fate? Is she okay?”

Morgan shook his head sadly, “No. When the police searched the room, they found the crystal blue bracelet my sister gave me. Since then, my sister and I have believed that our best friend has left. Though we are friends, but why does he still not want to tell whatever the problem is?” Morgan suddenly fell silent. Meanwhile, Chloe understands how Morgan feels. Abandoned by a loved one is hard. Just like him who was also once left by his brother. The accident that hit his brother was still ringing in his head.

However, as soon as she finds out that her death was caused by an accident, Chloe is as likely to hold back her anger and sadness. Although at that age is quite vulnerable to depression, Chloe insists on being a strong person so that her High School period is not lost because of her depression. Fortunately, there was Aoi who always accompanied him at that time. That way, Chloe doesn't feel lonely anymore.

“Surely your sister was in great shock hearing the news.” Guess Chloe lasted a few minutes when the silence almost took over their territory.

“Eh, indeed, your sister is like what the hell is she like? Why did he get to that? What do you think, at that time he was depressed as well?” Chloe asked again with enthusiasm. Obviously the girl was comfortable with Morgan's story. It seemed, the fear that controlled the girl was slowly disappearing.

Thankfully then, Morgan's inner self before finally getting back on with the story.

“My sister is all she wants to be, always wants to be different, and sometimes her emotions are erratic. That's why it's hard to make friends. Coupled with his likes that are somewhat different from children in general. Hmm, maybe because we come from a family that can be said to be quite wealthy, so my sister found many things from the internet at her age that was too small, eight years.”

“Before, are you now lecturing? Then sister? Don't tell me, she's still in High School?”

“Nope, my sister is also in college. You could say, he's still S1. Fortunately, he was still willing to expand his horizons.”

“Wah, sad yes.. If I were your sister, maybe all I did was kill in...”.

“Hush! Can't be like that! Your life is precious let alone your life!” sela Morgan did not accept.

“Hehehe, sorry-sorry. By the way, what's your sister's name? If you can, I also want to meet him.” Chloe said accompanied by her two eyes that sparkled with hope.

“I'm not sure about that.”

“Eh?”

Morgan was just speechless looking at Chloe's increasingly curious look. “Instead of talking about that, how about we discuss another matter? Now, it's your turn to tell the story!” said Morgan who immediately changed the topic of their conversation. And just as easily, Chloe was influenced by what Morgan said and was right! Now it's Chloe's turn to tell the story. Substantial…

“Where is it? My story is embarrassing anyway.” He muttered but Morgan could hear his delicate voice.

“Shame how? Wasn't your experience more amazing than mine? It should be experiences like yours that should be shared with people. Although not believing but real is not?”

Chloe nodded her head in agreement. “To be honest, I would love to tell you about my experience by pouring it into paper. Well, even if my writing is so, I'm sure people will think of it as fiction or just my imagination. But in fact not. Haahh... Fantasy is hard, yes!”

Morgan's smile was etched gently on his handsome face. She thinks telling Chloe is the most exciting moment of her life. His soul seemed to have just been revived. So far, the girl who wants to talk to the guy with the glasses box seems to be just Chloe. The rest choose men who look maco or who have a hair style that is random or even including the most popular men in their campus.

“Ya.. That's.. Fantasy.” Reply Morgan.

“Oh, yes, Morgan!” call Chloe all of a sudden.

“Ya?”

“The sea face is indeed more size than human huh?”

“Eh? Sea elephants?A moment..” behind his glasses, Morgan's eyes closed tightly while recalling information about sea elephants that far away he had read in the library. “If not wrong, yes. Why why anyway? You ever met that animal?”

“Yep!”

 “Hehh?! Really??” Morgan widened his eyes in disbelief. Really random these guys. It was talking about his sister Morgan. Now, their discussion is fully turned to marine mammals commonly called sea elephants. Chloe smiled disdainfully and began to tell me a little of her rare experience of meeting directly with a sea elephant that was larger than herself and Black Aura. The animal weighing 2,200 – 4000kg appeared while Chloe was having fun with Black Aura on the ship. Haha…

Just when the sentence “mesra-mesraan” was thrown in Chloe's mouth, Morgan reflex covered her mouth with her face flushed red. However, the red face even reddened when combined with a hard slap Chloe who felt uncomfortable with Morgan's behavior.

“Your heart please conditioned!” sewot Chloe glared at Morgan.

Morgan only chuckled in response to that menacing gaze and apologized straight away, although the direction of his mind was still not quite right.

“Finally, these two of you seem to be in tune,, so it's not wrong if my brain points it there.” Said Morgan who still survives with the thought that. Well, need not be explained later also understand itself. The point is, Morgan's not as innocent as Chloe. That'sthat's all.

“Huft... It is up to you sa... EH?”

Chloe was stunned on the way. His steps paused for a moment until it rubbed off on Morgan who was actually still willing to walk. Cafe is still unaccounted for but the girl has stopped first. Chloe pecked with both her eyeballs glaring at the empty garden chair. If not wrong, in the park chair before there were people who occupied it. But where is that guy now?

“Morgan..” call Chloe flat.

“Ya?” Morgan looked at Chloe doubtfully.

“So we went out with Black Aura, right?” she asked in a voice trembling in panic. Shortly thereafter, Chloe ran into the snow in front of her, followed by Morgan shouting the girl's name even though her voice vanished in the strong night wind.
