Chapter 22's
___________
Bella was pacing around in the room she was in at her parents' house. For whatever sake, he was very curious about Felix's news now that his heart was beginning to restlessly search for Felix's whereabouts and worry about what happened after Felix and Fredy came to Aunt Neni's old house.
"Gini night, why not come back, too," muttered Bella while still pacing back and forth while biting her own nails.
He's even finished his dinner session with his mom and dad, but why haven't Fredy and Felix returned yet?
Not long after, Bella hears her phone vibrating and it turns out that it was a short message from Fredy stating that she and Felix will not be back tonight, they stayed at a hotel close to the old house of the Mama.
Fredy :
Felix and I stayed at the hotel, not coming home now. 2 days later. If you want to go back to kos first, please go ahead.
"Why do I have to go 2 days?"
Again Bella could only ask herself because she was lazy to talk to Fredy who seemed cold to her. Fredy also sent him a short, precise and clear message making him reluctant to reply to the message.
Fredy will not be able to understand his feelings, which have been feeling bad since the departure of Fredy and Felix to their old Mama's house.
Last night, Bella couldn't sleep because she thought about Felix's fate. He just fell asleep at dawn.
...👻👻👻👻👻👻👻...
After taking care of all his work through email access and smartphones that he had, Fredy looked at Felix who had just been standing quietly on the balcony of a hotel room.
Felix looked daydreaming as he looked at the sight that lay before his eyes.
"You why?" fredy asked as he clasped his chest.
Felix turned to him and smiled wryly. "Nothing" Felix replied flatly.
"My work is done, tomorrow we can focus on meeting with Mama. And my people will be here today. Hopefully we can meet Mama and ask for an explanation" said Fredy.
"Do you think Mama would help me? He who has overthrown me. I don't think it's that easy for him to help? Moreover, all this time he's been used to it without me" Felix said.
Fredy. "Without me too" he continued.
They stared at each other and pulled the tip of the lips into a slanted smile. Their faces are identical twins, surely Mama Neni will be surprised to see the arrival of Fredy. Will he know Fredy as Felix? Or even when Fredy met him he already knew it was Fredy, the boy he had forgotten.
"You miss Mama?" ask Felix.
Fredy laughed a little. "Why do I miss someone I've never met? We will miss if we have met him before" he replied.
Felix is unemployed, but he really knows if Fredy misses the figure of Mama who even though he has not met directly but Fredy must miss the affection of a Mother that he never got.
"Frey, if you were me, would you still miss Mama?" felix asked his brother in a sad tone.
"I don't know. But so far I don't miss him."
"You're an amateur liar" Felix sneered with a charming smile.
Fredy just kept quiet and decided to hit the screen of his phone back.
Although Fredy did not want to be honest with Felix, but Felix knew the contents of his brother's head. Moreover, the contents of his heart that can not be covered from Felix. Somehow also Felix can find out the contents of the head and heart of his twin brother.
"Frey, about our deal-" Felix's words stalled in the air because Fredy cut him off right away.
"I can't" replied Fredy quickly.
"Why?"
"Because I don't have any feelings for her" Fredy explained.
Felix shook his head repeatedly. "You must not deceive me. You've been interested in Ara since your first meeting on campus. So I made a deal with you, so you can keep him if I can't be human anymore."
Fredy laughed heartily. "What the fuck are you? Don't talk about things that aren't clear" Fredy argued.
Felix is silent, he knows Fredy won't confess his feelings to Bella. Felix also knew Fredy was doing that to appreciate Felix's relationship with the already engaged Bella. It's just, Felix really gave up Bella for Fredy if indeed fate can not be kind to him to make him back into an ordinary human being.
"The unclear thing will be clear if you want to explain it" Felix said in response to Fredy's rebuttal.
"Where do you think I'm interested in him?" fredy asked, he did not know if Felix could read his heart and mind. Felix doesn't want to unlock his abilities in front of Fredy.
"Change how?" the question seems to not understand.
Felix laughed blandly. "You're being cold to him. You avoid it" Felix sneered.
"No, that's my attitude."
"The beginning of your meeting with him was not so. You were so after I left it to you."
"It's Felix, I'm sure you can go back to being human. If you have, then you take care of Ara yourself. Don't ask me for help, " Fredy replied, sipping the bottled mineral water on the guest table.
"If I can't be human again, what?" challenge Felix.
"Positive thinking only," said Fredy kekeuh.
"That means you'll look after her, right, if I can't go back to being human?" ask Felix.
Fredy shakes.
"My answer!" felix said again with high intonation.
Fredy straightened his hair. "Yes, I'll take care of him. But I really hope you become human again. Hang on and you're more worthy to take care of him" he said sincerely but implied sadness there.
...👻👻👻👻👻👻👻...
Felix, Fredy and Fredy's subordinates, who numbered 6, had already gathered in a Rest Area. After knowing their respective tasks based on Fredy's direction, they left the place and headed to Mama Neni's old house.
They used two cars. The first car was a car driven by Fredy and Felix, the second car was people who took part to help if Fredy needed their help in the process of meeting with Mama Neni today.
Early in the morning, they arrived in front of the house. The atmosphere was silent and no one else was there.
Fredy gets out of the car, followed by Felix, while his men are still waiting in the car and will act if necessary.
Fredy was looking for the whereabouts of someone around the empty, uninhabited house, maybe he could find the gardener yesterday or even Mama Neni all, so they could directly discuss the matter about Felix. That's the key.
Felix elbowed Fredy, as a gesture that he saw something that Fredy had not seen.
Fredy's eyes follow the direction of Felix's eyes, then look a middle-aged woman with another woman who looks fashionable at a young age no longer.
They seemed to be having a serious conversation on the side porch of the house.
Fredy hides behind a bonsai tree that is high enough, he wants to steal the hearing of the two women's conversation.
"Do you know who was here yesterday?" ask a fashionable middle-aged woman to another woman who is her interlocutor.
"Say my husband, his face is similar to that of the Madam's son" said the middle-aged woman wearing a simple home-gown.
"My boy?" ask the fashionable woman again.
"Yes, it's like Den Felix" the simple woman replied.
Felix and Fredy stared at each other because they heard Felix's name mentioned by the two women.
"But it's definitely not Den Felix, ma'am. Because my husband said, he asked who the owner of this house was, "clearly the simple woman again.
"Yes, yes, it was definitely not Felix, because Felix was having a lot of business and what he was asking about the owner of this house. He knows that this house belongs to me."
The deg...!
Felix and Fredy look back, Felix can read Fredy's head as usual. According to the analysis of the two of them, what is being discussed by these two women is Felix 'the other' aka an evil spirit who uses the real body of Felix. It means that the spirit lives and uses the body of Felix even uses the name Felix also in the human world.
"It seems I know who the young man who came was, Bik," said the fashionable woman meaningfully.
"Who is Madam?" ask a simple marketing woman.
"That must be Fredy, that's Felix's twin. It turns out that she has grown up and found our existence here," said the fashionable woman who is none other than Mama Neni-mama Felix and Fredy.
Fredy was silent for a long time with his thoughts, he was still hiding behind a tree while thinking of a small plan. Then he also looked at Felix - who actually already knew the contents of his twin brother's head.
"What's your plan?" asked Felix as if he did not know Fredy's plan, but he already knew exactly what Fredy would do after this.
"I will pretend not to know about the spirit and the body that have been separated because of being grounded. I'm coming to see Mama as Fredy looking for my twin. Then I will find the spirit, as if I did not know that it was an evil spirit that used and used your body for its own sake. I'll pretend to think it's the real Felix" Fredy replied with a slanted smile.
