PHOSPHENE: Your Other Side

PHOSPHENE: Your Other Side
Call me Aaron



It was time for Noah to meet Julia. The young woman still looked beautiful despite her thin body with black eye bags.


When Noah is introduced as her missing child, Julia seems surprised. She looked at her husband to see the honesty in his eyes.


It's not that she's unhappy that her son is back, but Julia is a little doubtful about the Noah that Jeffrey brought in. Because as a mother her inner bond is certainly very strong but when she saw Noah she felt nothing.


" Julia, Noah we're 10 years old now so maybe he's a bit different. Come closer you'll know he's Noah."


Julia hesitantly approached, then stroked Noah's face which was slightly different from the last one he remembered.


" You're Noah my son?."


The question is still full of doubt.


" Yes mother, I'm your son."


Julia took Noah's left hand. He took off his sleeves and saw a birthmark he knew.


" You are my son."


Julia's cry was so loud and she hugged the boy in front of her, vanishing her longing. Noah's heart was a little filled as he had to lie to the woman who was going to be his mother.


He glanced at Jeffrey beside him and Jeffrey smiled with satisfaction.


The days that the little family spent were so full of happiness. Julia's health is getting better and Noah is now getting more love from his new family to the point that he forgets who he really is. Their happiness grew when Julia and Jeffrey were blessed with a daughter named Laura.


Complete and perfect that is what describes the life of Noah at that time. The person who is most meritorious to him is of course Jeffrey that is why he is very devoted to him even though what he taught Noah is not something that is true.


The Flash Back Of.


" That's how I can be Elnathan Noah."


Noah ends his story.


" Well, what's your real name?".


Anna looked into Noah's eyes, for a moment Noah was silent. For the first time in more than 20 years, he will name his birth parents.


" Good name, Aaron."


Deg. Noah's heart beat very fast as Anna mentioned his name. A strange feeling spread throughout his body without the tears Noah fell just like that without the permission of the owner.


Anna understood Noah's feelings very well, and she felt a little guilty.


" Noah, I'm sorry if you don't like me saying your real name you must remember your parents."


" no. I like you saying my name. If only we both call me Aaron."


Anna's smile. He liked the man next to him thanks to his honesty. Anna felt like she was already a part of Noah's life now.


" Anna, my father caused your family's accident. Right, your father said you're in danger if you're here. "


" I'll be fine as long as I'm with you. You know Noah right now there's nothing I can trust but you."


" What's going on?"


" I overheard my father's talk. He said he was involved in my parents' death. She raised me because she felt guilty for me and for my mother whom she loved. "


Noah now understood everything that had happened to them.


" Why are they playing with our lives, Noah?"


" It's because our father was so selfish."


" Yes you're right. Then what are your plans now. "


" I'll finish what I started. You want to support me?"


" I will always support you."


Noah smiled happily, the conversation of the two continued despite the late night. They share life stories of each from the sad to the happy. Laughter did not forget to be present among them despite the thousands of suffering they experienced.


Because of the fatigue Noah and Anna even both fall asleep still with his sitting position.
