PHOSPHENE: Your Other Side

Freer

Noah gets ready in his black shirt suit. Not to forget he also shaved his mustache and beard to make it look more fresh and neat. It was a special day for him because soon he would breathe the air of his freedom.

Noah is welcomed out of prison by the guards, whose family is waiting to welcome him.

Laura who had been standing up restlessly immediately ran over as Noah's figure was seen by her.

" Sister.."

Noah replies to Laura's embrace, who has now become a mature woman since Noah last saw her.

Julia who walked back, accompanied by Stephen, immediately gave a welcome hug to Noah after he finished his sentence.

They talk for a while before Noah realizes Edward is coming on the first day of his freedom.

Edward who was standing leaning against his car raised his hand as Noah looked towards him

" A minute."

Noah leaves his family and goes to Edward.

" Secure on your freedom, Noah."

" Thank you. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that."

" I won't be here long. So I just came here to give you this."

Edward handed Noah a card.

" What is this?."

" Your real identity card."

Noah was a little confused but as he read the name on it he looked at Edward with some disbelief.

" Aaron Gamaliel Davis, nice to meet you."

Edward reached out his hand which Noah greeted with joy.

....

The journey from his home to the city center takes almost 1 hour and even if he is not on time then he will miss the last bus.

Anna who passed by a bookstore paused for a moment. He checked his watch.

" There's still 30 minutes before the last bus."

Anna went in and was greeted by the owner.

" Welcome, I have something to help you with."

" I want to buy painting equipment."

" Please go to the corner of the hallway."

Anna nodded and immediately headed in the direction indicated by the shopkeeper.

While being focused on choosing suddenly another customer came.

Just as the shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

" Can I help you?."

" I want to buy a book for a gift."

The voice of the man who had just come invited Anna's curiosity. He turned his head towards her but the man was facing the shopkeeper so he could only see her back.

Anna then finished with her chosen item and headed for the cashier. Again the figure of the man who was in the same bookstore with him invited his attention.

Anna who was waiting for her item counted glanced for a moment and now she could see her figure from the side even though it was not very clear.

Anna finished paying and exited the store continuing her journey to the bus stop.

The last bus came shortly since he waited and Anna was lucky to still get a seat.

As the bus began to move forward Anna turned her head towards the bus window she could hardly believe her gaze as she looked back at the man she had seen in the bookstore. He thought the man was going to ride the same bus as him but turned around when the bus left the stop.

Something had been troubling his mind ever since he saw the man. The scent of perfume she was wearing somehow she felt very familiar.

" Maybe the person who came to the gallery wearing the same cologne so I feel like I know the scent." she murmured softly.
