Chapter 36: This is not happening!

Rojen's POV

"I can't believe that someone related to her would do that to her. Especially it's her mother." Mr. Pome said in disbelief.

"I felt pity for her." I whisper.

"Everyone will be, if they knew." He replied.

People are experiencing pain because of imperfections. I believe all of them are experience pain and hardships, but why does life being unfair? Why does it have to alwayes be her?

"Honestly, no one knows what would happen to future, Roj. Even us, we didn't know. We are just there above to guide them and grant their wishes." Mr. Pome said.

"I know Mr. Pome but what I didn't know is why does it always happen to her all the time. After being happy and free in just a short period of time, she'll experience pain again. Can't she just take a rest from the pain?"

"I didn't know exactly what can help her, Roj, but you being there beside her is already enough for her to handle that pain. She needs you, because she only had you. That's a very big help." Mr. Pome said and smiled at me.

I smiled back to him but I know it's not genuine. But Mr. Pome was right. I imagined that if I'm not there, maybe everything became messed, or worst, she would think to take her life again.

"Here. Grilled chicken and sticky rice. I know this will ease your mind." Mr. Pome offered me.

"Thank you Mr. Pome. I just realized I didn't had breakfast because of too much thinking."

I ate what Mr. Pome gave me and it still taste the same. It was still delicious like before.

"Mm... By the way, what's your plan now to get your bracelet back?" Mr. Pome asked.

"I don't know. I was just new to this world and I can't think of anything to make money." I replied.

"Why don't you go back to the warehouse where you worked before? Maybe Astro can still help you." he asked.

"I don't feel like going back there anymore, Mr. Pome." I said.

"It is because of your boss?" he asked suddenly.

I was shocked. How come he knew that there is something strange about my boss.

"Of course I knew. When I first saw him, I felt there is something strange. But what I don't know if he is good or he is bad." he said.

"But he was kind Mr. Pome and he always helps us when we need help." I replied.

"Not all people are kind inside and out. Some of them are just acting kind to get your trust. After that, they'll use it to destroy you."

He's got a point.

Does Astro knows it too??

"Yeah. He knows. But he was just keeping it to himself." Mr. Pome said suddenly.

He's using his telepathy again.

"Sorry. Your mind is too open that I tend to read what you were thinking." he said and laughed. "Maybe you should stop worry for now and just relax. Ease your mind as every problem has a solution. Maybe not now but you can find all the solutions to your problem." Mr. Pome continued. He is kind of serious now.

I just took a deep breath and enjoyed my food.

"I think you should join the singing contest. It's open for all. You just need to register."

"I'm not confident and I think I wouldn't win."

"Just atleast try it. And if ever you wouldn't win, for sure there are consulation price. You need money, right?"

The conversation of these 2 girls at the other table caught my attention. There is a singing contest near here?

"Do you even know what is a singing contest is?" Mr. Pome asked out of nowhere.

I glared at him for reading my mind again. I really need to get my bracelet back.

"I'm sorry." he laughed again.

"Of course Mr. Pome. I know what a singing contest is." I replied.

"Why are you interested. You wanted to join?"

"No. Actually I heard Fiona humming a song when we cleaned her room. I was thinking maybe she can join the contest." I said.

"Then why don't you ask her. Maybe she would agree... or maybe she won't." Mr. Pome replied and continue grilling those chickens. There are lot of costumers today.

"Do you think she would agree?" I asked.

"I actually had no idea. You know, she had just experienced pain recently, I don't know if she could make it." he replied.

Yeah, right. I think I should let her rest first and don't let her worry about things.

I reached the apartment without realizing that I just walk from the park until here. I changed my clothes and headed towards the rooftop.

Maybe because of too much thinking that I didn't realized I just walked. Now my knees hurts and I really wanted to take a sit and rest my feet.

I love the sensation my feet brings when I already took a sit on one of the chair outside Fiona's room.

The sun was about to set and the moon is already visible up in the reddish sky. I love how aesthetically beautiful it is. The scattering of light that happens everytime the sun is setting, it was a fascinating phenomenon.

I looked on Fiona's room. I am still worrying about her but Mr. Pome is right. I should ease my mind and just be there beside her. That is already a big help.

She needed someone beside her and be with her until everything is fine.

I know that Fiona was still resting inside of her room so I shouldn't bother her and just give her time to rest. She deserved it.

While looking up at the sky and enjoying the cold breeze of the wind that touches my skin, I heard that something hit the floor inside of Fiona's room.

I stood up immediately and run towards the door. When I opened it, I was shock because I can't believe of what I have seen.

No! This isn't happening!
