Home For My Soul

175|But Brave

“There are left at home?” ask Theo.

“Not.” I'm holding the doorknob. “We better go somewhere else. I-I don't want to be here.”

“What do you mean? What's wrong with this place?” He put both his hands on his waist. I couldn't answer, just shook my head. “Honey? What lo... good. We moved somewhere else, yeah. Come inside. We're leaving here.”

I got into the car, and then he closed the door again. He didn't ask me anything, so I didn't talk either. Maybe he didn't want our bodyguards listening to our private conversations. I calmly looked at the place he chose next.

We're going to the movies. He invited me to pick whatever movie I wanted, and then we stopped by a cafe. Waiting for the movie to start, we enjoyed a cake and a warm drink. He just silently looked at me, not checking his phone or tablet as usual.

“Why are you just silent? Just tell me if there's anything you want to ask,” I said, starting a conversation after he still quietly looked at me.

“Gue no need to ask. I know you're traumatized.” He looked at me seriously. I'm nodding. “Because of that too, you have not dared to swim.” I nodded back.

He held my hand without saying anything more. I could see he was thinking about something seriously. Justjust wonderful. Just a few weeks into marriage, I could tell the emotions she was feeling. He showed nothing through his facial expression. Is this what it feels like after marriage?

“Do you need the help of a psychologist?” tanyanya, be careful. “Speaking with the experts will probably help you to escape the frightening incident.”

I put my free hand on his. “I just need time. Suddenly being someone else was not a pleasant experience. Staying in a body that is not mine than I was born is also not a comfortable thing.

“It all started from that lake. I can still take a bath, but even soaking in a tub I dare not. If I swim, what if my soul comes out of this body? Most frightening, I do not want to be the cause of others to be in vain again.”

“We have agreed not to talk about kedantian,” cut it.

“Did you never think of this miracle even once?” We were discussing it, so I didn't hold back from discussing it anymore. “I'm sometimes worried the same thing will happen again. What if I exchange bodies with someone else?

“I don't know how the first thing could have happened between me and Amaryllis. Could it be that I will experience it again if I swim or get into the water with someone else? I'd go crazy if I had to repeat everything from the beginning again.” My body shudders.

“It won't happen. People who exchange bodies with you no longer exist. I'm sure the only way out for your soul is to just return to its original body. That's no longer possible. You think too far. If the soul can as it pleases move the body, this world can be chaotic.”

He's correct. I swam since I was a kid never having this weird incident. Just when I was unprepared and went to the lake, I switched bodies with Amarylis. This is not an everyday natural event. It could be just one time in a lifetime.

But I can't deny it, seeing the lake and the beach is a scary thing for me. I'm not ready to be where this all started. Just thinking about it made my body tremble, especially by being there.

“If you know how to exchange bodies, let me know.” He looked at me seriously.

“For what? You don't talk carelessly.” I pulled my hand from his grasp.

He held back so I couldn't get away from him. “Because if I can, I want to just experience all that you live during hail.”

I wouldn't have believed his words had I not heard them myself. This obnoxious arrogant man turned out to be able to speak sweetly as well. He was always calm, almost emotionless. It turned out that he was secretly worried about my situation.

Although I was a little scared and worried, there was Theo who was always sprightly. He didn't let me go through everything myself. Nausea in the morning, hunger, fatigue, even my emotions that often change drastically, I face with him.

Because of my condition, I chose action movies. So, I won't be sleepy the whole time the movie is playing. After all, only this genre movie seems interesting. The other choice did not stir my curiosity. Looking at the denseness of the studio, I know everyone has the same opinion.

“Film is so exciting! I like!” seruku happy. We walked with the other audience out of the studio. “Do you see how the female lead acts? Cool! I can do that too.”

“No. You can't fight with anyone. Let it be their business,” he said seriously. “What you did to Venny was not good for your reputation. At least, choose a place that does not have CCTV. Did you forget you are still famous on social media?”

“If I need with a guy—” reply me.

He put his face in front of my lips. “Do not test my patience.”

“Tuh, you're just angry. My time is not?” I hugged her waist as she embraced my shoulder. “Where else are we going? Eat first, yeah. I'm hungry.”

Someone who just entered the cinema caught my attention. He wears reading glasses, raises the neck of his jacket, and a hat. Bizarrely. Why is he wearing a head covering inside the building? The woman next to him also had a mysterious appearance that actually made people suspicious.

What caught my attention was that his movements were quite familiar to me. His height, his posture, ah, yes! “M—” I called him as hard as I could, but a hand smothered my mouth.

“Lo's not seeing the signal well, huh? They have disguised their identity, you even want to shout calling his name,” said Theo.

I kept his hands away from me. “Where do I know. I think she dresses so because she wants to look cool.” I followed those who walked towards the ticket counter with my eyes.

“Leave it. Said he wanted to eat.” He closed my eyes with his hand and led me towards the exit. So obnoxious.

Repot is also dating secretly. Remember our experiences together. But I did not go undercover. After all, people won't believe we're dating. Until Theo took my hand in the campus corridor. It seems that this event just happened yesterday.

The tense conflict between Gordon and Willis can also be resolved well. I was happy to read the news in various foreign media on that Sunday. I can't imagine my best friend's fate if the war between the two families really broke out.

The culprit turned out to be their loyal servant. He hesitated to spread the video out of sight of the length of time he needed from the day of the incident. He wanted to give Clara a chance to change. It turned out that his master was acting again by hurting him, so he retaliated.

Since the police were already involved, his father could do nothing. Clara was put in custody. Hillary and Gordon must be glad they're not alone in bearing the blame for their incitement. Of all my problems there, only Nora did not prolong the problem. I hope he lives his life well. Unfortunately, our friendship had to end very quickly.

Although not friends with Chika on social media, but our same friend commented on her post. So her picture on my honeymoon was coloring me, too. Many people make comments. Hm. Also true. Why didn't I think about this before?

“Ianngg ..!” I came out of the room, looking for my husband. “Theo, where are you?”

He was with me in the room, but came out to get a snack. It's been almost an hour that he hasn't come back either. Didn't the waiter already know whenever it was time to prepare the main meal and snack? My cheeks are warming. Ah, yes, he made me a cake.

There was no law, so I went down the stairs. Feeling the phone in the hand vibrate, I glanced at the screen. At that moment I did not notice my steps. Only my heels stepped on the next rung of the ladder so that when I put my weight completely on those feet, I lost my balance.
