Chapter 24

Liska was still in place with a look of shock, digesting everything. Everything that happened to him a moment ago. As he remembered it, his body began to tremble in fear.

"Dek, let's go home" said a man with a younger stature, who had been called Zidan. And just as the hand was about to hold onto Liska's shoulder, Liska's quick movements dodged it.

"Don't touch it" said Liska with a soft and blank look.

"It looks like he's traumatized" said the man behind Zidan with his eyes directed towards Liska.

"Looks," Zidan replied as he straightened up and then looked pityfully at Liska.

Afterwards they drove Liska home, in Zidan's car. On the way Liska just silent while staring at her shoes with blank eyes.

Arriving at home, Liska went straight down without saying anything. He ran into the house, until unconscious with the stairs on the terrace, making him hapir fall down.

'Liska' stared at that back with a look of pity. With a mental lack and overwritten such an incident, it might be a big blow to his soul.

He began to fuse again and moved into a room that was quite dark, no lighting at all. With tightly closed curtains and unlighted room lights. But the one that 'Liska' caught, this room is no stranger to him.

His feet began to step through the room, until his ears caught a voice. Lyric sound with vague hunch.

"I'm dirty" said someone softly.

The eyes of 'Liska' scoured until it found a fragile figure in the corner of the room, with tangled hair covering its face.

"I'm dirty" those words kept repeating from his mouth. He looks so fragile and is not eager to live.

"Mama, Liska is dirty" he said again, raising his face, looking ahead with eyes full of despair and destruction.

Liska was silent for a moment until she got up from her seat and walked towards the nightstand.

The hand was busy looking for something in the drawer, until his movement stopped because the item he was looking for had met.

His hand began to lift and saw a folding knife with a shiny blade, indicating that the knife was very sharp.

His eyes stared fixedly at the knife earlier, with slowly the hand that was holding the knife was moving closer to his left wrist.

'Liska' who saw that, stared in disbelief at the person in front of him.

"God! What are you lakin? Don't bego!" shouted 'Liska' with a look of surprise and wanted to grab the knife earlier but his hand was translucent.

"Damn!" hiss 'Liska' with a frustrated look.

Liska's figure stopped the movement of her hands, her eyes trembling in fear. A few seconds later, he fell and the knife fell from his hand.

"Akhc!" he shouted while pulling his hair tightly, feeling frustrated with his circumstances.

He hugged his legs again with his body swinging forward and backward. His eyes stared blankly towards the front, with thoughts drifting out of nowhere.

"Everything feels unfair" murmured Liska. The last words heard by 'Liska'. Before he fused and moved. He returned to his original place, an empty white room, with no way out at all.

Those eyes were busy staring back and forth until someone's voice echoed in the room.

"Hi Liska or do I call Fia?" say someone without showing them.

Liska stared there, coming here with a frown on her forehead.

"Who?" ask 'Liska' with a look of astonishment.

"The owner of the body you are occupying right now" replied the voice that still did not show its form.

There was no word from the voice earlier, which was even the sound of knocking shoes that echoed in the room.

'Liska' followed the source of the direction of the voice, and there was a person in her white dress. The face looked pale and lifeless.

When the figure appeared in front of him, unexpectedly his figure returned to his original body. Become the real Fia.

"Hi" greeted the man with a sincere smile.

"You're Liska?" asked Fia with a look of astonishment.

"Well, and thank you" said Liska full of sincerity.

"For?" reply Fia with a face that does not understand.

"Everything, thank you" said Liska again with a faint smile.

"..." - ".Fia preferred to be silent with her eyes looking at the figure in front of her. With a body that still has a vigilant attitude.

"You don't have to be wary of Fia. I came at your request, you want to see all my memories, right?" liska said with a small smile and eyes looking at Fia gently.

"Sorry, I'm late showing you my memories, I just need time. Because if you want to see all my memories, then inevitably I will also see it back, and it hurts me a lot" said Liska full of regrets and head down deep.

"I understand and it's not your fault, so there's no need to apologize" Fia replied with a gentle smile.

"really?" asked Liska with a happy smile.

"Yes" Fia replied with a light nod of her head.

For a few seconds they were silent to each other. The focused figure of Liska looked at the faces of Fia and Fia who returned Liska's gaze with a frown on her forehead.

"May I ask for help? Please do justice for my body. I feel sick seeing those who always corner me. Let them know, if I'm not the antagonist" said Liska with her head lowered.

"Why? It's just a novel, isn't it? So it's only natural that there is one of the cast members who have to sacrifice" said Fia provoked Liska's response.

"No! This is not a novel! It's real, it's just different in the world" said Liska in an increasingly quiet voice at the end of the sentence.

Fia who heard Liska's reply just now just smiled slightly and rubbed Liska's shoulders slowly.

"I'll help you as much as I can" Fia replied gently, making Liska look expectantly at Fia.

"really? Thank you" said Liska with a beautiful smile, but only lasted for a few seconds, until the smile was replaced with a serious look.

"But there's still one puzzle you have to solve for yourself Fia. Because he's the mastermind of all this. He became the key to what happened to me" said Liska with eyes looking seriously at Fia.

"Well, I understand" Fia replied as she nodded her head slowly, understanding the words of Liska just now.

"After this you will return, and I will transfer all my memories. It was just the core memory of the problem" said Liska with a sweet smile.

Hearing Liska's words just now, Fia could only nod her head slowly.

"And please take care of Mama, don't make her sad" said Liska with a look of hope.

"I'll do as I can" Fia replied with a gentle smile.

It didn't take long, Fia began to feel her body being forcefully sucked and everything went dark.
